"Live in present." Pata nahi, "kal ho na ho".

It was 25th april 2015 around 11.45 am, I was at my hometown  kanpur with my mum and my elder daughter Tanya and I felt something is shaking up like my bed was rocking and I screamed Tanya what are you doing ,the second moment i realised that she is just three years old how can she  move or shake the bed and then I ran towards the balcony as I was on the first floor .I saw people screaming and shouting and lots of fear they were experiencing and got to know that the earthquake of 6.7 Richter scale ( which we got to know later) and then I collected myself and with all my past experiences and all the stories in my head I just rush towards the ground floor by holding my mum and Tanya, And  nothing else was in my mind and when I reach to the ground floor I was carrying my mobile phone and I started calling Dilip and my dad and not for my surprise ,no phones were reachable at that very moment and ,I didn't know what is going to happen and I was blank for 30 to 45 minutes and those momen

On the occasion of the World Health Day (7 th April 2017) today. I thought of writing this and share with my readers. Hope this piece of information will help you or your family, friends.

Whatever you do or not is important,but in all this what is the most important thing? Yes ,it is YOU.   Do we every think about it? Does it matter to us or anyone else? What matters to you doesn't mean that it has to matter to everyone else but not you.  Life is all about you who you are in this moment and who I am in this moment so what's more important, definitely YOU.  If you are healthy you are happy you are at your best then everything looks around is so, nice so beautiful but if something is wrong I don't mean to say that physically wrong , if you are not feeling up to the mark, if you are not having a good emotions or if your thought process is not right at this moment. Then definitely there is something wrong,sometimes we don't realise that we need support or help or even somebody to lean on.  It is very important that we need someone by our side all the time and it's make definitely some sense if you look around that we are alway
