The Itsy Bitsy Spider




I was on a regular Sunday walk with my daughter and she pointed out fearlessly a spider web and started reciting...

Itsy Bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And Itsy Bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.......

And I realised how Itsy the born engineer was weaving and spinning the hallmark of excellence. Perhaps weaving some key takeaways for humans.

1.       Weaving excellence is definitely not a day’s work. There will be days of sunshine and downpour, continue weaving, for it is perseverance that pays.

2.       Have faith and conviction in yourself. While weaving your dreams you may fall or you might get pulled down by people around, get up and start weaving your masterpiece, and definitely there is no looking back.


3.       Plan yourself well. A well integrated web will always be strong and sturdy. A planned and focussed approach will help you in designing a robust web of experience and learning.

4.       I  got reminded of the famous poem “Ekla Chalo”. If no one heeds your call then walk alone. It is not necessary that you will get help, support while weaving your mission, don’t worry, don’t bother, keep going, and let the spark within you ignite your desire.


5.       Don’t wait for a perfect day; get started, for every day is a perfect day even for a spider to weave his masterpiece.


And finally...

The Itsy Bitsy spider
Climbed up without a stop
She spun a silky web
Right at the very top
She wove and she spun
And when her web was done
The Itsy Bitsy spider
Rested in the sun


Thank you readers.

Spring- Embracing the Riot of Colors

Spring- Embracing the Riot of Colors Little did I notice the natural beauty around until I went on a drive with my little daughter and she pointed out the vibrantly bursting bougainvilleas as if each color had something to say this spring. “ Spring is nature’s way of saying let’s party” Robin Williams. It seemed as if the almighty was putting the vivacious colors all throughout winters on his canvas earth, for us to see his creation. Hmnnn so spring is nature’s way of communicating to start all afresh, a new mission, a new start. The RED bougainvilleas were swaying away to glory with the message of strength, willpower, determination, love passion and energy. The WHITE on the contrary was elegantly portraying serenity, moving towards the path of creativity and the power of perfection. Just next to the white stood the YELLOW, the color of optimism, happiness and hope. And just among them peeped out bunches of eloquent PINK bougainvilleas, the co...

When life gets punctuated with a comma,

This write up is dedicated to all the beautiful women playing different roles in their various stages of life. I was busy in the hustle bustle of life, when all of a sudden I got confined to an elongated bed rest, which I didn’t envisage in the remotest of my dreams.
