The "not so wanted"responsibility

We all love & adore our parents. In the beginning of our lives , they are our caretakers & protecters. During our growing age, they are our motivaters & guides. Later as we grow up, they are our advisers. And lastly, as they grow old, they are our "not so wanted" responsibility.
Somewhere, in a tiny corner of our heart, we know that we owe our Existance to them. I AM WHAT I AM might not be because of them, but we should never forget that I AM HERE is surely due to them...... isn't it?

Feeling "Felt"

A research says that as infants we learn to mentalize from "Outside In ". When a child sees his distress or happiness felt on his mother's face, he feels "FELT". Two things happen in the child's brain.....Firstly, He feels his mother's response to be comforting, and secondly,he begins to understand his own feelings.
Thus, he sees what he feels in the face of his mother. She has "His mind in Her mind" .............and "He discovers his mind in Her mind"! This is how the child feels "Felt". Isn't this process simply mindblowing?

My Inspiration

The other day, I was chatting with my Aunt, who is in her 80s and walks with support. I casually asked her, "How do you spend your time these days?" In her toothless voice, pat came the reply,"I solve Sudoku Puzzles!"...........Wow, now that's MY INSPIRATION, I say!

Relationships

Relationships are " Meeting of Minds".......or rather Relationships depend majorly on "Meeting of Minds"! Of course, there's the physical aspect too, which is very important. But Relationships sustain more when our mental levels are balanced harmoniously.......ie when I know that the other person is feeling and thinking in the same way as I do. He completely understands what I feel and vis a vis......and that is what "WE FEEL FELT" means to me ! Thus the "Spontanious Meeting of Minds" is the core of a long lasting Relationship!
