Perseverance

As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the understanding that challenges are a natural part of life, but with perseverance, they can overcome anything. The quote, often attributed to Lance Armstrong, beautifully encapsulates this message: "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, an hour, a day, or a year, but eventually, it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?" Life is full of ups and downs, and there will be moments when our children face difficult situations. Whether it's struggling with a challenging school assignment, facing rejection, or dealing with a setback in their hobbies, they may feel like giving up. It's during these times that we can remind them of the importance of perseverance. Pain and challenges are temporary. Like passing clouds...

Krodhi Nama Samavatsara

 Starting 9th April 2024 this year is called Krodhi i.e. Anger in the Telugu calendar. This year as per panchangam is marked by Anger, aggression, and losing temper at the slightest provocations. We are already seeing the anger and aggression across the world. Israel's war against Hamas has spread to Iran, now adding another front to an already multi-front war.  Israel's bombing of the Iranian embassy in Sirya probably has set the ball rolling for World War 3. Surely Russia, China and North Korea must be watching these events very closely.  With this bombing,  the world is bracing itself for an oil price shock, and the US must be happy with the expansion of war. The military-industrial complexes must be salivating for more orders of weapons.
