Grateful By Ketaki S. Vaidya

You open your eyes to the world and the discomfort surrounds you. You yell and cry in the search of comfort. Your mom holds you, soothes you, feeds you and that's the end of the insecurity. You love that feeling and love meets you for the first time in the form of security!   You further start dealing with life, learning new skill every day. Coping with the new world you are in. It is very challenging. You love the comfort of your parents' arms. Love the comfort of bedding and bath. You meet love again, in the form of comfort.  You can not give up that toy! You can not share your room. You have hard time sharing your parents. It is your dress. It is your shirt. It is your friend! You meet love again, in the form of attachment!

Wear your color do your hair No matter sober or bling after all you are one of a kind Eat healthy Hit that trail No matter what needs to wait after all your loved ones need you work what you love pour your heart out No matter how long it takes after all the world always needs your best Sing out loud dance in the rain No matter what others say After all the precious times never come again Love with your heart spend time with friends No matter what risks that holds After all the love only prevails Test new waters explore new lands  No matter how dangerous it seems After all world is the most beautiful place Find your faith pray and meditate No matter how long it takes After all you are of the universe Live life fullest love yourself No matter how hard it gets After all you are going to be with you till eternity

I met my spouse there and we got married there as well. Further my qualification and nature of job provided me opportunity to travel to USA. At the time of travel, I was just a fresher willing to see s new world. Though, after I started working and living in USA, I found many good opportunities here to grow as a professional. We also decided to grow our family and in no time we became proud parents of two awesome girls. Now we had every reason to continue our stay here in USA.  USA is a very friendly and nice country. Though, living away from the country of your origin brings many adjustments. Like many other parents, we have a responsibility of raising Indian American kids. Indian by origin and American by birth.

Life is too precious to waste there are so many sunrises to watch there are so many lands to explore there are so many rains to dance you have not yet seen the best Life is too short to stuck in what ifs there are so many friends to make there are so many hearts to mend there are so many wounds to heal give so many smiles for griefs Life is too fun to spend in predictions there are so many adventures to try there are so many skies to fly there are so many oceans to swim there are so many realities than fictions Life is too nice to pass in guessing there are so many winters to spend  there are so many flowers to smell there are so many wishes to make find all the pieces you are missing
