Humne Ek Baat Kahi

The month of December always arrives carrying a tapestry of memories—some joyful, some bittersweet—woven from the year that is drawing to a close. For me, it is not only the recollections of this passing year that surface, but also echoes from years long gone, moments that continue to live quietly within me. I wish to share a few of these reflections, along with a gentle suggestion: to leave behind your documented memories for others. Even if they seem too busy or uninterested now, there will come a time when they will seek them, cherish them, and find meaning in them. So let us pause together, dwell on these fragments of time, and honor the stories that shape us.

Today the new century is starting with something very personal. I have tried to speak little less in this episode. Just have a little peek into my family!

It is difficult to express in words, the pleasure which I am feeling on this day, when I am recording the 300th episode. Something which commenced as a simple thought has survived nearly five years and I still remember the day when my daughter was trying to explain the mechanics of the design and the task appeared so daunting. So, let us continue talking!

Some values are adopted in childhood and they remain the guiding stars through the life. But sometimes these are challenged, since the values are often formed on the basis of some role models and those role models are sometimes criticised. It appears as if the entire foundation of the edifice is shaking. I share my views.

Spending time together or personal time and space? This is an eternal question of modern families. This question was there always, but not necessarily limited to families. This has taken centrestage because increasing nuclearity of the same, and for people like us because of empty nest syndrome. My take!

There are days when you just drop in at a friends place, you have no agenda, no seasonal topic, even no gossip to share, then what do you do? I am just like that today. Even otherwise I am never a preacher, but today it is more free flowing and about the past week, where we had children at home, weddings to attend and some illness as well.

Why do we have memories? What memories stay with us? What shapes do the memories take? Why do the same event is remembered differently by different people? Based on my understanding, I have tried to find answers to some of these questions. You may look at these from your perspective.

The idea was sparked by a radio programme discussing songs in the background and how they were considered unimportant until someone really wove them into the storyline, and they were sung by a known voice. In my life, I have tried to look at the role played by the background, bringing it to the foreground. My take is here!

Habits make a person, what he or she is. This week, I have thought about the subject and given my two bits on the basis of my experiences. I eat very fast, and that habit stems from my college days, when I was always in a hurry due to numerous avoidable reasons. So here is my exploration of habits.

Getting a gift and giving a gift, both have their own pleasures and pain. I have looked at both the sides from my experience and thinking. Let me share these!
