Get Off Your Arse: A ran-dumb blog to get you moving, by a bit of a nudge and a bit of a push.
Proud Parent
People normally are proud of their kids once they get 99 % etc or get into some top University. Children are normally treated by parents like trophies. I’m proud of mine for being themselves even if it means going against what is thrown at them like Asthma, bullying etc. Viren (11yrs) came third in inter-school athletics Meet in 1,500 metres clocking in at 6min 11seconds. Harsheath (16yrs) just ran his third half marathon in approximately 2hrs 10min. A lot more than I had done by those ages.

Letting Go
The 'thing' I love (the most) is my tiddly-piddly Volkswagen GT. It gives me immense pleasure. It's just my kind of car. Today is the day I give it away. Not sell. It's in top shape. I want to let go because I 'love' it too much.

Your children are not your children
Earlier today, while I was talking to Matkaman aka Mr Alag Natarajan, I saw this amazing poem in his garden, On Children by Kahlil Gibran in his masterpiece of Novel called The Prophet (published 1923).
