Life as it came to me!

We are a middle class family. Right from the beginning kept a low profile to save money for the education of children. Anyway today my son is working with the world no 1 company. The other day he took me to show golden gate of San Francisco. I was sitting back in his car and thinking...nostalgic. When i was in my heyday I couldn't afford much fun. Even my friends would make fun of us as we couldn't go out of city. Those days i used to feel very sad and low. but the other day when son took me in his car i was thanking my stars for investing in education. Today I can surely tell others that what we invest in education will come back to us in double! i felt my hard work and effort has been paid back with excellent fruits. The joy of education is inexplicable.

Life Amuses!-the ant and the grass hopper!

Folks I am very sorry to meet you people after a long time. I have come to stay with my son in USA. The natural beauty of California caught me forever!You know what I remembered when my son had come to pick me up at the air port? i want to share with you all. I have two sons. Both are there in USA.Right from the beginning the second son is street smart and he only taught my first son to ride scooter long back!
My eldest son is very academic minded and hence he didn't mind all these things. But when he sat on the wheels of his car i became nostalgic and remembered very hesitant boy learning to ride a cycle shyly has been metamorphosed into a very confident youth driving his own car.
Somewhere it loomed large in my mind that story of ant and the grass hopper. Life is the best teacher,we can refuse to learn in schools and colleges. But when life teaches we are unable to forget that lesson That is the beauty of life teaching us!
I was told before boarding the plane that we are not supposed to talk to strangers and all those old granny tales. But whenever i needed i got god sent people to help me. Right from drinking coffee to picking up baggage from the conveyer belt. an American girl Bridget boosted my morale high throughout the journey. Travelling is the best teacher, it teaches us a lot. I learnt to be open minded, and also understood people are like me only 'something they know and some thing they have to know!'
