Pursuit of Happiness by Tarika Sanduja

Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over lives of little children✨🌼 Grandparents are a family’s greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, The greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions that linger on in cherished memory. Grandparents are the family’s strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, grandparents keep a family close at heart.😇 Grandparents make the world a little softer, a little kinder, a little warmer.🌸 Having been unconditionally loved by my grandmother, over the years I've realised A garden of love grows in a grandmother’s heart. Even though she's no more, but as they say- Grandmothers holds little palms 🤲 for a while, but hearts forever ❤️. One of the greatest things she taught me was to never lose my innocence, be grounded and always strive for excellence in whatever I do🥰. Though have never got a chance to be loved by my Grandfather, my fathe

"How could she say that to me?" "Why did she refuse to help me?" "Why didn't she come to see me?" We all have some expectations when it comes to how we want to be treated, Isn't it? It is very natural, it's how we all are wired & when those expectations are not met, Most of us get disappointed,our expectations backfire & create a great deal of pain. Does that mean we should stop doing good to others, as we are not getting any return?  No! We don't need to lose our goodness, but definitely need to reduce our expectations from others It does hurt deep when we don't get back what we expect. But the fault lies in the problem itself The burden we expect them to carry, might not always be mutual & it does differ from their perspectives too. If you ask me, I practice empathy- I simply like to help, I do things everyday that don’t have an ROI, and that's also because it's naturally wired in me!  I would

There are lot of things I am grateful for, but when it comes to my parents, they trump them all! ONE of the things I will always be grateful to my parents for is ingraining in me a very valuable lesson; the value of which has become most profound in my adult life.  To always remain humble, no matter how high I soar in the sky, they always say "Plant your feet firmly on earth and stretch your head to clouds so that you can turn your dreams into reality, for , Bahuteyan uchheyan uddeyan nu phir dharti kithe disdi" My parents had always taught us sisters to be graceful and grounded. To pray and have unshakeable faith in God. 😇To be the best we had the potential to be. And to constantly work hard AND most importantly, Generosity!  They always said-"Kade vi Ahankar na Kari, Soch uchhi te nazar rakhi neevi" ( Never ever let fame & pride breed ego, always remain humble, no matter how high you soar in the sky, plant your feet firmly on earth and stretch you

"Your Grandmother would've been proud of you, if she were here today" This is something I often hear from my family and relatives. She passed away when I was in Grade 8 and I miss her more as I grow older because now I understand what values she imbibed in me  My Grandma was a Social Science teacher and a Principal in a Government School, and my source of inspiration & guidance. She was an angel in disguise who taught me how to care. She was a spiritual person who believed in God and treated everyone with love and respect.  She always said "You never know when you are interacting with an angel, so be kind and generous always".  Since she passed, all I have is her fond memories, her valuable lessons & our laughs and giggles.  One particular thing she asked me to take as an advice as an oxigen canister in this fast spreading virus borne world.  That was -"Don’t ever let your ice cream melt while you’re counting someone else’s sprinkles.”
