Just Sunday Things

Today I was lucky to get Kalva che gole or Rock 🦪 oysters at Divale Koliwada fish market. 

Also picked some Sontakka and placed it across the home. 

Our Bubble isn’t eating non veg yet. Though last time I fed him pomfret mixed in his bhaaji. Everyone in his nuclear family is vegetarian. However we extended family are trying to introduce to him non veg as his parents agree with better nutrition approach for him. So today took him to the fish market. He was happy with an outing but as the smell hit him he held his nose. I told him he is a Koli and so he should not be averse to it. Slowly as we explored the market he got used to it. There were a few other people who had brought along kids his age to the market and they even touched the fish though our guy did not. Few times he told me he wanted to go home. He was unhappy that live crabs were chopped into two and he kept asking me if I will eat those? I explained to him everything has to die before we eat it even plants as we cook everything. He said yes and agreed. Very pensive. I know that this discussion will be brought up again till his curiosity is satisfied. I am going to give him honest answers. 

Just Sunday 🌞 things. 

Tomorrow his vacation gets over and school resumes. I will get back to my other home and we will miss each other.

The Great Divide

We build walls to divide but what do we do with those tenacious threads that bind? !

I was watching Punjabi Lehar an initiative by Nasir Dhillon that unites families separated by the traumatic partition of India - Pakistan. 

I cried watching family members hug each other after 75 yrs of separation. 

This partition was done by the evil British who colonised India. This touched a raw nerve. Of the partition in families where the partition is caused by greed ! 

Mahabharat is the oldest epic in the world and it keeps repeating even now though without bloodshed. 

One person’s greed destroys the weave of the family. When one person wants to hoard everything that the family has. It is the small mentality of the person that causes the split. Especially when this person has been the recipient of the biggest kindness of the family.

There is no gratitude for what he and his family received. There is no value of the people who made sacrifices. Some spent their years of youth caring for others. However all that is forgotten.

There are misunderstandings in all families. Sometimes keeping a little distance yet holding gratitude in the heart is the only way. 

Some people’s greed knows no limits. They are always demanding a share of what is not rightfully theirs. They cannot even mask their greed and are absolutely point blank about what they demand. Such a filthy attitude! 

Nature has its ways of maintaining a balance! I shall leave it at that.

There are some others who caused the divide. They have a special place in hell ! You know who you are !!!

Others can still try to patch up. Our division wasn’t as traumatic as the partition infact there was NO reason. Just the stupidity of couple of people. How difficult is it to say sorry? 

Else this will go with our bodies burning in the funeral pyre 🔥
