BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH ✍️

 

(This picture is a FB Memory from 7 years ago. I shared it, on 25th June, 2018.)

25th June '2025 ✍️

June 2018 was the time, when my mum's Oncologists told me, that her body was too weak and too frail, to complete the remaining cycles of chemo. She had already been through many, many rounds of it, losing over 35 kgs, in the process. 

By that time, her body finally gave up. She couldn't take any more. This was her second Cancer in 8 years and a more aggressive one. She lived for three months after that, but in unbelievable pain; which was so intense, that she didn't even know, who I was, when I spoke to her.😪

I used to write posts and share pics like these, back in those days, just to motivate myself to 'Keep Going Anyway'; even though, I was fully aware of the inevitable outcome, which was not too far away.

Seeing this picture and reading these words today, 7 years later; just brought all those memories flooding back. 

She had been through so much, that she really had 'no fight left'. Physically, she was already 'not really there anymore'.

...and yet, I kept holding on to 'Hope'.💔

Sometimes, we human beings just do that, even though we know, that the situation, is absolutely and completely 'Hopeless'. I guess, we do that, simply because the person means so much to us, and because 'We Care'. That's how much, 'Family' means to us.😔

Watching my Mum, slowly but surely, fading away like that; and then, finally losing her, three months later, took everything, away from me.😪

My Spirit to keep going, 

My Will to do, just about anything and everything.

My Desire to move, from one day to the next; from one moment to the next.

I was just functioning on 'Auto-Pilot', literally.

It'll soon be 7 years since then. 

The years have flown by, but I think for the most part, I still go through life, from one day to the next, on 'Auto-Pilot'.

Yes, I Smile and Laugh sometimes; but I still Cry every single day. The tears, just don't stop.💔😔 Little things, places, incidents, situations and people around me too...Everything triggers off a hundred memories, instantly.

It's difficult to explain those emotions and feelings of 'Loss and Pain', to anyone; but losing one's entire Family, by the age of 38, does that to a person.😪

...and I miss 'My Best Friend', at every step of the way. 

I think, the day she died, I really stopped 'Living'.

Now, I only 'Exist', because for some strange, inexplicable and unexplainable reason; while she was taken away from me, I was left behind, and am still breathing. 🤷🏻‍♀️✍️

ONLY ONE MJ ✨️🎶

 

(A FB Memory from this day, written on 25th June' 2023. But this post, is actually about something that happened, many years before that. I'm just always reminded of that incident, on this day every year.)

Only One MJ ✍️✨️

I still remember, how I found out that Michael Jackson had died, on this day, way back in 2009. There was this student in one of my classes at DB, who was a huge MJ fan; and early in the morning, just as I was taking attendance in class, he came up to me and said, "Miss, did you hear the news...MJ just died today." 

I looked at him with complete disbelief and thought it must just be some rumour, that he had heard somewhere; and I replied, "That's not possible."

Of course, he persisted and said, "No Miss! It's true. It was on the news this morning, before I came to school." 

I remember being very disturbed that whole day and unable to concentrate on the usual, everyday things, that I was doing in school.😔

It's not that I was a crazy MJ fan; because like many great artists, the fame and 'the persona' they create, kind of takes over 'the person', which doesn't really make them the most exemplary people to follow. 

The stories we had heard about his life, (whether true or untrue), didn't exactly make him, a very positive role-model for anyone...but the unexpected way in which, he suddenly vanished from our lives, did take me by surprise; and shocked the whole world as well.

I did love many of his songs; and even though a lot of singers have tried to sing his songs over the years, I think his voice and the way he performed on stage, was so unique and memorable, that there could only ever be one Michael Jackson.❤️

Sharing one of my favourite Jackson 5 songs today, 'I'll Be There', played by another favourite, Dave Koz.🎷✨️

(Found this video of the song, uploaded by someone else on YT.)

WORDS FROM THE HEART 🎶

 

(FB Memories constantly reminds me, of all these wonderful songs, that I used to share practically everyday, during those pandemic years. 

On some days, like today; I was reminded of at least 3 lovely songs, that I shared on one day. I guess, Music just kept me company, during those dreadfully lonely times. 

Am picking one of those songs, which I posted on this day, 4 years ago, on the 23rd of June, 2021.) 😊

I discovered this lovely musician Gabriella Quevedo, back in 2020. She has some amazing guitar videos, on her YouTube page. This is one of the many, many beautiful songs she has played.😍

EVERYTHING I OWN 🎶

- Gabriella Quevedo (Guitar Cover)

'I would give everything I own

Just to have you back again'.✨️💖

'BREAD' is a group that I discovered when I was in college. One of my friends sang their song 'If', during a Singing Contest in Xavier's. The lyrics are so beautiful, that it has been one of my favourite songs, since the first time I heard it.

This one, is another one of those very melodious and meaningfully written, 'Bread' songs. 🎶

- Bread 

Lyrics that remind us of loved ones, who are not with us anymore. Our Parents, Siblings, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and others in our Family, who are no longer with us. How we wish, we could have them back in our lives!😪 

The words of this song, capture that 'longing and yearning in our hearts, for those who we've lost', so wonderfully.

SONG LYRICS 🎶

Everything I own - Bread 

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm.
You gave my life to me.
Set me free, set me free.
The finest years I ever knew,
Were all the years, I had with you.

And I would give anything I own.
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to laugh.
What a time, what a time.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you.

Nobody else could ever know,
The part of me that can't let go.

And I would give anything I own,
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
You're loving them so,
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day.
Someone takes them away,
And they don't hear the words, you long to say.

I would give anything I own,
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again;
Just to touch you once again.

GENTLEMAN JIM 🎶

 

(A FB Memory, that I posted 4 years ago on this day, 22nd June, 2021.)

Jim Reeves was always a favourite to listen to, in our home, when I was growing up.

I still have those old audio cassettes, which were part of my Dad's music collection, though I can't play them anymore. 

I guess, because we listened to him so often at home; those songs and that voice, has remained with me, as a lingering childhood memory.

It's so great to watch this old video, of 'Gentleman Jim' doing a 'Live' show. I think everyone who loves Jim Reeves, will enjoy this. 😊

'I love you for a hundred thousand reasons;

But most of all, 'I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU'. 🎶💕

(Video shared from someone else's page on YT.)

A SONG, TO HELP US GET ALONG 🎶

(A couple of old FB Memories, from 'World Music Day' posts, that I had shared on this day, in 2023 and 2024; and also this year's 'Theme' for today.)

World Music Day, 2025 - Theme and Purpose.

The theme for World Music Day 2025 is 'Healing Through Harmony'. 

This theme emphasises Music's ability to provide 'emotional healing, relieve stress, and foster social unity'. 

It highlights the power of Melody and Rhythm, in overcoming both personal and societal challenges.✨️🎶

21st June, 2024 🎶

Grateful for all those, who fill my world with 'The Joyful Sound of Music', everyday.😊

What better time than 'World Music Day', to say,

 'Thank You for each Song,

  Thank You for each Smile'.✨️💕

21st June, 2023 🎶

On 'World Music Day', just one of those innumerable songs and singers, who sang melodies, that made the whole world sing.✨️❤️

Without a song, the day would never end,

Without a song, the road would never bend,

When things go wrong, a man ain't got a Friend,

Without a Song!🎶

I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall,

I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall,

I only know, there ain't no Love at all,

Without a Song!😊

WITHOUT A SONG 🎶

- Willie Nelson

'I'll get along, as long as a Song 

Is strung in my soul.'

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES ✨️💖

 

(A FB Memory from this day, three years ago, 20th June 2022.)

I remember, that the day I first listened to this song, many, many years ago; I had big, big tears in my eyes. It was a song I identified with so much.❤ 

I think that people who have lost loved ones, would connect with this song, much more than others. The lyrics are so beautiful and touching. 

I don't know if Ronan Keating or Garth Brookes, write their own songs or only sing them; but whoever put down the words to this song, really wrote this one straight from their heart.❤ One of those songs, that always makes me wish I could write words to a song like this some day.🙂

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES 😪🎶

- Ronan Keating 

(SONG LYRICS) 🎶

Sometimes late at night

I lie awake and watch her sleeping;

She's lost in peaceful dreams

So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark;

And the thought crosses my mind

If I never wake in the morning,

Would she ever doubt the way I feel

About her in my heart.

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her?

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That she's my only one?

And if my time on earth were through

And she must face this world without me.

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes?

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life

Who never knew how much I loved them.

Now I live with the regret

That my true feelings for them never were revealed.

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how much she means to me;

And avoid that circumstance

Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel.

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her?

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That she's my only one?

And if my time on earth were through

And she must face this world without me;

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes?

So tell that someone that you love

Just what you're thinking of

If tomorrow never comes. ✨️💖

20th June '2025

UNSPOKEN! UNEXPRESSED! UNFINISHED!😪

What a month this has been! Accidents and tragedies happening everywhere. 

A family that I know of, died in a car accident, leaving behind their 9 year old son. He lost both his parents and his Grandmother that day, at such a young age. Seeing those three coffins, lying side by side, was just so difficult.

Having experienced losing my own brother, in a road accident, at the age of 10, the loss of that little boy really affected me...

Even now, more than 3 and a half decades later, I still miss him...And I miss my parents too, who I also lost when I was quite young, every single day.😔 

To think how that little boy, has to go through his entire life ahead, without his parents, was just too painful to imagine. 

Coping with Grief and the loss of close family members, is something that truly has no timeline. It's a daily uphill struggle, that lasts for as long as you live; and absolutely no one else, can really understand it. Many learn how to mask and cover the pain and tears, in unique ways, over time; but the 'Pain' always remains. It just never goes away completely.💔

I guess, only those who've lost dear ones, will ever really know...and even then, no two stories are the same. So, each person's everyday life struggles, especially the 'Emotional' ones, are also very different.😪

The recent plane crash, in which so many families, lost their loved ones, so unexpectedly; is something that has also been on my mind constantly. I've been watching and hearing the many painful stories, shared by families; and it is absolutely heart-breaking.

To news channels, companies and authorities, the lives lost, will just be stories to tell and statistics to count. But to the family members left behind, the burden of this immeasurable loss, and the very tragic end of their loved ones, is something that will stay with them, forever and ever.😔

So many words and thoughts 'Unspoken'.

So many feelings and emotions 'Unexpressed'.

So, so much, just left completely 'Unfinished'.😪

No one knows, what tomorrow holds in store. In fact, we don't even know what the next moment may bring. Incidents like these, remind us of this fact, always.

One Day At A Time...

That has been my motto in life for many, many years. 

There really is no other way, to live this completely uncertain life.✍️

SINGING WITH MY BROTHER 🎶💖

 

These are two of my favourite groups of Singers, who sing Cover versions of songs.

Of course, because they sound good; but more importantly, because they are both groups of 'Brothers'. Siblings who sing and make music together.

That is Special to me, because I wish I could write songs and make music, with my own Brother, so many times; just like the 'Carpenters' did. They are another one of my favourite sibling duos, who wrote and performed so many beautiful songs. 🎶 

But since I can't write and sing songs with my own brother, I love listening to groups of Siblings, who do.🤗

It's my Brother's Birthday tomorrow. This is my small way of remembering him.✨️💖

LEAN ON ME 🎶

I WANT SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS 💕

 

(This post is not written by me. It's something I read on a friend's page, a few days ago. It made me wish, that I had a friend like that too. I just wanted to save this forward. So, am sharing it here.

I only ever had one person in my life, who knew me as well as the Coach, in this little story; and that was my Mum.✨️💖

I have many Friends who care, but after my mother passed away, I don't think I have anyone, who is as close to me, as she was...and I miss 'My Best Friend', every single day.)😪

She was drowning.

And nobody noticed…

Nobody, except her.

It was June 2022, at the World Championships in Budapest.

Anita Álvarez, an American artistic swimmer with Mexican roots, was performing a flawless routine.

But when her performance ended… she didn’t come up for air.

She had lost consciousness.

Her body floated for a few seconds, then began to sink.

Slowly. All the way to the bottom of the pool.

The audience didn’t notice. Neither did the judges.

Everyone was clapping.

But her coach, Andrea Fuentes, noticed.

She knew Anita—knew exactly how long it took her to surface.

She felt in her heart that something was wrong.

Without thinking twice, she dove in.

Fully dressed. Shoes and all.

She swam straight down, grabbed Anita by the waist,

and brought her back up.

She saved her life.

This story left me thinking…

Who knows you well enough to notice when you’re not okay, even if you’re still smiling? 🤔

Who would dive in for you without hesitation when you no longer have the strength to come up for air?

And more importantly…

Would you be that person for someone else?

Are you present enough in your loved ones’ lives, to sense the moment they start to sink?

Or are you just another spectator, clapping, not realizing that inside, they’re fading? 😔

In this life, we all need someone who doesn’t just see us—

but truly notices us.

Someone who knows, when we’re about to give up,

and has the courage to jump in and save us. 💕

UNFAIR WEATHER FRIEND 🎶✨️💖

 

(I love it when FB Memories reminds me of old posts like these. This is one, that I wrote 2 years ago, on 29th March '2023. Had saved it to post later; and forgot about it. So, sharing it today.)

'My come whatever, Unfair Weather Friend'.🎶✨️💖

- Marla Cannon Goodman

Very rarely do we get to hear the voice of the 'songwriter' who actually wrote the song. I found this song sung by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, in their last collaboration together.

...and then, I discovered that Marla Cannon Goodman wrote this song with Ward Davis, and that neither of them ever imagined that their song would be sung, by two country music icons one day.💕🎶

So, because we always hear the voices of the singers who sing the songs; I thought I would share this version instead, sung by one of the two songwriters who wrote the song.✍️

Also found a blog post, in which Marla shared the lovely story, behind how the song was written; and how, it later came to be sung by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, It's sometimes so nice to hear about, how a song came to life.🎶😊

(Videos shared from different YT pages.)

ALWAYS THERE FOR ME ✨️💖

 

[An old FB Memory from 10th June, 2020.

Reminders like these, (through an old song, which you found many years ago), at moments in life, when you feel low or when you feel like, no one is really around, and when you truly need a Friend; are very Comforting and Uplifting.🎶

Looking for beautiful songs with lovely lyrics, is something that I originally started doing, as part of my job, more than 20 years ago, when I needed to find an appropriate 'Theme-based' song, for any event in school. 

Over the years, it became a habit; and I have discovered some wonderful songs, that may not always be popular, but I love them. 

This is one of those very meaningful songs, which I  found and shared, 5 years ago, with this old post.]✨️🎶

I had a thought in mind for a few days, and before actually putting down those thoughts on paper, I just wanted to see, if someone else had already done something similar, in the past.

That led me to this beautiful song. Loved the lyrics. They can be applied to almost anyone, who has accompanied us, along life's journey.

From God above, who constantly watches over us, to our family and loved ones, to 'dear and close friends who almost feel like family', or to just anybody, who is 'Always There' for us, whenever we need 'a Friend'.✨️💖

I really liked the words of this song. So am sharing it today...Do listen.

ALWAYS THERE 🎶

- Secret Garden

(Song shared from a page on YT.)

YOU ARE NOT ALONE 🎶🤗💖

 

I discovered this song during the pandemic and thought the lyrics were so beautiful and uplifting. I haven't watched the Musical; but the words of this song are so lovely.

It's such a comforting song, that just makes you feel you are 'A Little Less Alone', in times and moments of extreme 'Loneliness', when the world seems to constantly remind you, that you have no one to call your own, and makes you feel so empty.😪

The lyrics of some songs, just have that ability to act like a balm and soothe your troubled mind and heart, at least for a little while...and when the song is sung by a Choir like this, they make it sound even better. 

It's difficult to express and put into words, the 'Magic of a Melody'.✨️🎶...But songs like these, that touch your heart and soul, feel like a warm, tight hug from a loved one, that you have truly longed for and missed forever.🤗💖

YOU WILL BE FOUND 🎶

- One Voice Children's Choir (Dear Evan Hansen - Broadway Cover version)

SONG LYRICS 🎶

Have you ever felt like nobody was there?

Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?

Have you ever felt like you could disappear?

Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

Well, let that lonely feeling wash away,

Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay;

'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand,

You can reach, reach out your hand.

And oh, someone will come running,

And I know, they'll take you home.

Even when the dark comes crashing through,

When you need a 'Friend' to carry you,

And when you're broken on the ground,

You will be found.

So let the sun come streaming in,

'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again;

Lift your head and look around,

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found.

There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown,

And every time that you call out

You're 'A Little Less Alone';

If you only say the word,

From across the silence, your voice is heard.

Even when the dark comes crashing through,

When you need a 'Friend' to carry you,

When you're broken on the ground,

You will be found.

So let the sun come streaming in,

'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again;

If you only look around,

You will be found (You will be found).

Out of the shadows,

The morning is breaking,

And all is new, all is new.

It's filling up the empty,

And suddenly I see that,

All is new, all is new.

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone (You are not alone)

You are not alone (You are not alone)

You are not

You are not alone (You are not alone).🤗❤️

Even when the dark comes crashin' through,

When you need someone to carry you,

When you're broken on the ground,

You will be found.

So when the sun comes streaming in,

'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again,

If you only look around,

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found.

You Will Be Found.✨️💖

GIFT OF A FRIEND ✨️💖

 

(An old post that I shared on FB, five years ago, on the 29th of March '2020.) 

When you are blessed with the gift of 'Time', it allows you to ponder and reflect, on life's many 'Blessings', and on the things, that we can be most 'Grateful' for. 

One of those special Blessings in my life, is the gift of 'Friends'...Friends are truly a Gift.✨️💖

As we journey through life, we come across so many special people, who we call our Friends. 

Some of these Friends, grow closer to us than others; while others, brighten our lives for just a few short moments.

Some Friends remain a part of our journey through life, for many years; while there are others, that we somehow lose touch with, somewhere along the way.

Some Friends help us 'Grow', some teach us 'Lessons for Life'; and some almost become like 'Family'.🤗💕

With some we share common interests, hopes and dreams; and others, stand by us through life's hardest times, and become a shoulder that we can lean on.

Some add Music and Colour to our lives; and a few others, just know how to make us 'Smile'.😊😊😊

Whether our Friends are with us everyday, or miles apart; each one always holds a special place in our heart.❤️

Thinking of all my Friends, old and new, near and far...

Miss the ones who are far away...

Grateful to God for every Friend, who has been a part of my Life, through the years. Thank you for being a 'Special Gift'.💕🌈😊

Sharing this beautiful song called 'Gift of a Friend'. Do listen.

COMFORT AND REASSURANCE ✨️🎶

 

(Another song that came up as a FB Memory. Originally posted there on 8th June, 2021.)

The pandemic was a difficult time for most people. But those of us who were already lonely, just felt even more isolated.

My mother had passed away only a year and a half, before the pandemic began. Even now, I struggle to deal with her absence in my life, every single day.

So, back in those days of 'Social Distancing', only I know, what I felt.

In those moments, songs like these offered 'Comfort and Reassurance'. We were still 'Alone'; but when we heard someone singing a song like this one, it just made us feel, a little less 'Lonely', at least for a little while.✨️💖

'Miles and miles of empty space in between us',

And nothing can really take the place, of those missing smiles...

...and yet, 'When we need Love', all we have to do is reach out, and someone who cares, will always be around.🙂💕

WHEN I NEED YOU 🎶

- Albert Hammond 

(Song shared from the singer's YT page.)

SUNSHINE AND MOONLIGHT 🎶

 

These two songs came up as FB Memories today. One shared on this day 7th June, in 2021 and one in 2023.

For many, many years now, I have always posted songs that I like, for friends to listen to. 

During the pandemic years however, the frequency and number of songs that I shared, practically every single day, increased a lot; because the only thing I did in those terribly scary and isolated years, was 'Listen to Music'.🎶😊 

It kept me company and made me feel a little less 'Alone'.✨️💖

SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDER 🎶

- Piano Instrumental (Paul Hankinson)

An instrumental version of one of my favourite John Denver songs. It has such a soothing and beautiful melody.❤️

(Song Lyrics)

'If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you, a day just like today;😊
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song, to make you feel this way.🎶

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale, sure to make you smile;😊
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish, for sunshine all the while.'✨️

- John Denver 🎶

MOONLIGHT AND ROSES 🎶

- Jim Reeves

(Song Lyrics)

'Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful memories of you
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true.

June light discloses
Love's golden dreams sparkling, anew
Moonlight and roses
Bring memories of you.'

Jim Reeves really sang some of the most beautiful songs.🙂💕

A SONG...A PLACE...A JOURNEY 🎶

(A FB Memory from this day, 2 years ago, 3rd June '2023.)

I heard this song today and liked it; because it is one, that can be interpreted in so many different ways. 

Since Carole King hasn't really specified where 'this place' that she was talking about is, when she wrote the lyrics to 'Way over yonder'; it could refer to so many different places.

If you think of it as a Gospel song, then it could refer to a beautiful place like heaven...But it could also be speaking about any place, where one finds 'peace of mind and solitude'. 

Maybe a nostalgic place, that's full of happy memories; or any place we are in at the present moment, which fills our hearts with comfort and joy, because the warm sunshine always shines down on us there. 

It could even be a wonderful place in the future, that we hopefully look forward to being in some day.🎶😊

One song...but depending on the state of mind of the listener; it could mean different things to different people. I guess, that's the 'wonder of a lovely song'.✨️

WAY OVER YONDER

- Carole King 

(Shared from a page on YT, where this song was posted by someone else.)

I LOOK TO YOU ✨️🎶

 

(There are times in life, when we look up to the heavens above, for answers, for solace, for comfort; because in some situations, 'Only God Knows', what's really going on.)

When I can't understand anything that's been happening...

When I just don't know, the reasons 'Why'...

When I'm completely 'Clueless' about what I did wrong, to deserve all of this...

When I really don't know what to do...

When I'm weighed down by hurt and sadness, and being totally 'Lost'...

When I truly need a 'Friend'... 

I LOOK TO YOU ✨️🎶

- Whitney Houston

HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY 🎶

 

A good old song like this one, can uplift your spirit and change your mood, within minutes. 

Music truly is 'Magic'.✨️❤️

HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY 🎶

- Kelly Clarkson and Wilson Phillips

I always love hearing the 'Stories behind the Songs'.

Music Inspires.✨️

Music Heals.💖

Music reminds us to 'Keep Going Anyway'.🤷🏻‍♀️

ASKING FOR A FRIEND 🎶

I discovered this singer named JJ Heller, at some point, during the pandemic. She composes the simplest, sweetest and most meaningful 'Original Songs', together with her husband.

This is one of her very real songs, that lots of people would connect with. 

A short chat that I had, a little while back, reminded me of this one.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND 🎶

By JJ Heller, David Heller, and Ross King

(Song Lyrics)

What do you do when,

Every morning,

The first thing you think is,

You just want to stay in bed?

I’m just asking for a Friend.

What do you say when,

All of your feelings,

Are so overwhelming,

That you’re too tired to pretend?

I’m just asking for a Friend.

Maybe you’re thinking,

She sounds like a mess.

But trust me when I say, 

She’s doing her best.

Doing her best.

We all need,

We all need the same thing;

Someone to 'Let Us In'.

We all need,

We all need 'A Safe Place', 

We don’t have to defend.

I’m not asking,

For all the pain in all the world, to end.

I’m just asking for a Friend.

How do you come back,

From losing all you have?

You’re so afraid that,

You’ll just lose it all again.

I’m just asking for a Friend.

Maybe you don’t know,

The right thing to say;

But trust me, what she needs,

Is 'Someone to Stay'.

'Someone to Stay'.

We all need,

We all need the same thing;

Someone to 'Let Us In'.

We all need

We all need 'A Safe Place', 

We don’t have to defend.

I’m not asking, 

For all the pain in all the world, to end.

I’m just asking for a Friend.

I’ve been looking for Connection,

But I don’t know where I fit in.

I’m still afraid of rejection,

But I’m ready to begin.

‘Cause I could really use a Friend,

I’m just asking for a Friend.😊🎶

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES🤔✍️

 

I start to Write,

Then Delete.

I begin to Say,

Then Don't.

I want to Voice,

Then Can't.

I need to Express,

Then Won't. ✍️

(An old FB Memory from this day, 2 years ago, 13th March '23.)

MISSING YOU 😪🎶

 

Something that my Mum and I, always wondered about often; once we knew, that she wasn't going to be around, for very long.🤔

...but some questions, just have no answers...'Perhaps they never will'.😢

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU? 🎶

- Drew Holcomb and The Neighbours

(Video shared from someone else's page on YT.)

LOST IN TRANSLATION ✍️

 

If they had walked your path,

They would have been kind,

But they haven't.

If they had faced the trials you faced,

They would have judged less,

But they haven't.

If they had experienced your pain,

They would have understood why,

But they haven't.

If they had lost as much as you have,

They would think, before they speak,

But they haven't.

So, they'll never know,

And they'll never care,

Because those who have journeyed on,

Are the only ones, who were 'Always There'.😪✍️

MIRROR IMAGE ✍️

 

(Originally written on FB, two years ago, on this day, 10th March '23.)

The Mirrors in our Eyes;

Clear Visions to See,

Piercing, Discerning, 

Reflections of the Deepest Soul.

The Mirrors in our Minds;

On Constant Re-play,

Pondering, Wondering,

Reflections of Honest Truth.

The Mirrors in our Hearts;

Forever Aimlessly Lost,

Yearning, Longing,

Reflections of Devoted Love.

The Mirrors in our History;

Strolling Down Memory-Lane,

Unearthing, Discovering,

Reflections of a Forgotten Time.

The Mirrors in our Dreams;

A Walk into the Unknown,

Waking, Sleeping,

Reflections of Unfulfilled Desire.

The Mirrors in our Lives;

Like a Friend, Always There,

Accompanying, Guiding,

Reflections of Untampered Reality.

(I only ever had 'ONE REAL MIRROR' in my Life; and I see more and more of 'Her Reflection' staring back at me, every single day, each time I look into one.✨️❤️

I guess, that was the starting point of these reflective verses, when I wrote it two years ago.)

FIERCE, FREE AND FABULOUS 😊🎶

 

(A FB Memory from 3 years ago. This was originally written on the 5th of March '2022. It was a Women's Day concert, which had some of Mumbai's best Women singers on stage.)

I think I chose a really awesome show, for my first time back at the NCPA, after a gap of two long years, due to the pandemic. The Tata Theatre truly is one of my favourite places in Mumbai; and it has been so difficult, to stay away from it for such a long time.

Samantha Noella, Shazneen Arethna, Suzanne D'Mello Misquitta and Eden Alexander were just so amazing, singing together; backed by a really good band too. They picked some fabulous songs, that have been sung by many awesome women; and it goes without saying, they did full justice to every song.😍

It was great to hear Faustin Missier, playing in the band also.😊 I was very proud, to finally be there to hear one of my old students from DB, Vivian D'Souza on Bass Guitar, playing 'Live' at a concert at the NCPA.💕

The other musicians were amazing too. I especially loved all those varied percussion instruments. They added so much to every song.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 

What a feeling to hear a 'Live Performance' again, after two long years. Enjoying the entire show with friends and a couple of students too, that I happened to meet at the NCPA; and realising that we had all booked tickets so close to one another, was an added bonus.😊🎶

Was also happy to meet some fabulous singers, that I have enjoyed listening to over the last two years - Shanelle Ferreira, little Kaydeynce Mendonca and one of my favourites Eshaan Shaikh.❤ 

Travelling by Mumbai's lifeline again, after a very long gap, and discovering that nothing has changed at all in two years, was fun too.

Catching a glimpse of the sea again, at Marine Drive, and watching the sun set over the waters, is also something I haven't done, in such a long time.

Today was a good day.😊

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET 😊🎶

 

(An old FB Memory, from this day 5 years ago. Written on 8th March '2020. It was one of the very last shows I went for, before everything shut down, due to the Lockdown.)

Music has the ability to make you happy and to lift your spirits, like nothing else can.😊 

It had to be a completely uplifting and joyful afternoon, when you've spent it listening to some of the best Rock n' Roll hits, performed 'Live' in the award winning Musical, 'Million Dollar Quartet'.🎶

This 'International Cast', of exceptionally talented singers and musicians, had the audience swaying and tapping their feet, to the beat of every song; and it was fun, to see so many get up and dance too.💃🕺

The fact that I got a chance to watch and enjoy this Broadway and West End Musical, right here in Mumbai, at the Jamshed Bhabha, NCPA, was so great. Thanks to the team that brought this Production to India, once again.😊

KEEP SMILING! KEEP SHINING! ✨️💖

 

I usually only post things that I have written myself, on my blog.✍️

But a few days ago, I came across this Forward, on someone's page.

Pooh and Piglet have always been 'My Favourites'. So, I had to share this, because it was so sweet. 😊

“It’s a quiet night tonight, isn’t it, Piglet?” said Pooh, gazing up at the stars. 

“It certainly is,” said Piglet, his little paw resting on his Friend’s. 

“What do you think the stars talk about?” asked Pooh. “When we’re not listening, I mean.” 

Piglet thought for a moment. “I think they talk about Light,” he said. “About how even in the darkest skies, they shine as best as they can, no matter how small they are. Because they know someone, somewhere, is looking up and needs to see them.” 

Pooh smiled. “That’s a lovely thought, Piglet. Do you think we’re like that too? Little Stars, shining for each other?” 

Piglet nodded. “Yes, Pooh. I think that’s what we’re meant to do. To be a Little Light for someone, even when the night feels very big and very dark.” 

Pooh sat quietly for a moment, then said, “If that’s true, Piglet, then I think you’re the 'Brightest Star' I know. Even on my gloomiest days, you make me feel like everything will be alright.”

“And you’re mine, Pooh,” said Piglet, softly. “Because with you, I always feel safe, even when the woods seem scary, or the path isn’t clear.”

The two Friends sat together under the stars, wrapped in the kind of quiet Love, that doesn’t need grand gestures or fancy words. Just Presence. Just Care. Just two Lights, shining for each other in the great big world. 

“What do you think we should do tomorrow?” asked Pooh after a while. 

“I think we should just Keep Shining,” said Piglet.✨️💖

...and then, reading that Forward, made me think of this song. It matches what Pooh and Piglet were talking about, perfectly.❤️

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR 🎶 (Song Lyrics)
- Dionne Warwick ft. Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder

And I never thought I'd feel this way,
And as far as I'm concerned,
I'm glad I got the chance to say,
That I do believe I Love You.

And if I should ever go away,
Well, then close your eyes and try,
To feel the way we do today,
And then, if you can remember.

Keep Smiling, Keep Shining,
Knowing you can always 'Count on Me', for sure,
That's what Friends are for.

For good times and bad times,
I'll be on your side, forever more,
That's what Friends are for.

Well, you came and opened me,
And now there's so much more I see,
And so by the way I Thank You.

Oh and then, for the times when we're apart,
Well, then close your eyes and know,
These words are coming from my heart.
And then if you can remember.

Oh, Keep Smiling and Keep Shining,
Knowing you can always 'Count on Me', for sure,
That's what Friends are for.

In good times and bad times,
I'll be on your side forever more,
Oh, that's what Friends are for.

Keep Smiling, Keep Shining,
Knowing you can always 'Count on Me', for sure,
That's what Friends are for.

For good times and bad times,
I'll be on your side forever more,
That's what Friends are for.

Keep Smiling, Keep Shining,
Knowing you can always 'Count on Me', for sure,
'Cause I tell you, That's what Friends are for.

For good times and for bad times,
I'll be on your side forever more,
That's what Friends are for
(That's what friends are for, ya)
On me for sure,
(Count on me for sure,
Count on me for sure.)
That's what Friends are for.

Keep Smiling, Keep Shining. ✨️💖

YOU'VE GOT ALL MY LOVE ✨️💖

 

(FB Memories from different years, written on this day.)

2nd March '2020 ✍️

30 years today, since the day your life came to a sudden and abrupt end, in an unexpected way.

30 years today, of longing and wishing and hoping, that you were still here, almost every single day.

30 years, since I first learned what it means to lose a loved one, my little brother Nathan, when I was only a 10 year old child.

30 years seems like a long time, and as time goes by, I have learned how to cope and smile, like you smiled.

The one thing that has lived on though, even 30 years since the 2nd of March'1990, are the memories of this day.

And even though, I know you won't be reading this today, I guess it's just my way of remembering you on this day, even 30 years later.✨️💖

2nd March '2022 ✍️

32 years today, since I couldn't even say Goodbye;

32 years of wondering and constantly asking 'Why'?🤔

Over three decades of wishing you were still here,

So that I could be your bossy old 'big sister' dear.😊

But 'Life is a puzzle' that I don't even try to comprehend,

A mystery, so complex, with unexpected twists at every bend.

So, every moment I think of you and miss you more,

And hope someday we meet again, on some heavenly shore.✨️💖

2nd March '2024 ✍️

34 years today, since that untimely and unexpected sudden farewell, on the 2nd of March 1990.

In an age of taking countless digital pics, where we constantly save more moments in photographs and videos, than we ever have the time to go back and look through again; there is something extra-special about old photo albums and the few pictures we have, of precious memories, with those that aren't with us anymore.

I never stop wishing, I could have had more pics and more memories; but life didn't exactly give me a choice. Of course, I do treasure and cherish the photographs that I still have from back then, even though they may be only a few.

You are always remembered Nathan and forever missed.✨️💖

2nd March '2025 ✍️

2nd of March' 1990.❤️

35 years later...

I still remember each moment of that unforgettable day, like it was yesterday.😪

I often wonder, 'What if that day had turned out differently'?🤔

Life goes on...

But the 'Memories Last Forever'. 

I hold on to them dearly, still...

And I know, I always will.✨️💖

ALL MY LOVE 🎶❤️

(Video shared from the Coldplay YT page.)

LIFE MEANS NOTHING, WITHOUT YOU.✨️💖

 

People often tell you to 'Forget and to Move On' with your Life; but I strongly disagree. I Love to Remember, because what are we without 'Special Happy Memories'.💞

I never understand the logic of 'Moving On'.

How can we 'Move On', from the 'Loved Ones', who once made up our entire world? 🤔

How can we 'Just Forget' them, simply because many, many years or decades have gone by? 🤔

What if I was the one who had gone first, and I was just forgotten, as the years passed by? 🤔 

I don't think I would like being replaced by someone else, so easily, and completely forgotten by my Family.

So, I 'Choose to Remember', every single day.

And, I 'Choose to Hold On', at every step of the way. ✨️💖

Days like today, make me think of songs like these. 🎶❤️

Some days are just more difficult to get through than others, even 35 years later...and when you have to multiply those days by three, you have a lot of those days, all year round.😪

But Thanks to those who always remind me, that a lot of my friends and loved ones still care. Each Like, Hug and Comment on a FB post that I share, on a day like today, (that may be 'Just Another Day' to everyone else; but one, that is 'Significant and Important' to me), means so much. 

Thank You.🤗❤️

FAR AWAY PLACES 🎭

 

What if we could write a letter to our loved ones, who have journeyed on?

What if they could reply?

What if there was some way or someone, who could deliver those letters back and forth, between heaven and earth?🤔

These imaginary situations and scenarios, have been very creatively woven into the Storyline, of the play called 'The Far Post', which is set in a 'Post-Office', at a Border. A play by 'Dur Se Brothers', that is Written, Directed and Performed by Yuki Ellias, together with the Choreographer and Co-Performer of the show, Tapas Boro, and the innovative use of masks and puppetry.🎭

Yuki is a well-known name in the world of Theatre - Acting, Directing and Teaching too, but she is also an old college batchmate and friend from Xavier's; and I was just 'So Proud' from beginning to end, as I watched her in action, performing on that stage at the Prithvi Theatre, on the 26th of February '25.🤗❤️

The Play is a story of two enemy soldiers, killed in battle; who embark on a journey into the after-life, with the help of an endearing 'Postman Aunty' and her pet Goldfish.🐟

It is a 75 minute play, which kind of reminded me, of a Charlie Chaplin 'Silent Film', because there are very few dialogues in it. But despite that, the audience was completely engrossed and focussed right through, because of so many fascinating things, happening on stage.👏👏👏

The wonderful acting by Yuki and Tapas, was supported by a great backstage and technical crew. The smooth and seamless transitions by the two actors, with the masks and puppets and the switching of characters, the choreographed movements, the effects created by the Sets, Props, the perfectly synced Sound and Lights,(including a little shadow-play also); and most of all, the lovely background Music and Singing too, all collectively added so much to the performance.🎶

I loved that the Folk Fusion Band 'SOFIYUM' from Gangtok, Sikkim, played some soft and melodious music and songs in this play, 'LIVE', while the two actors (playing various characters), took the story forward. All the songs are in the Lepcha language, with English sub-titles. It was lovely to hear the multi-talented Yuki, joining the band, in singing a couple of songs also.😊

I was fascinated by a lot of things in this play; and I could see, that the rest of the audience was, as well. This very 'Unique and Different' play, in a Language that we do not know or speak, had the audience reacting in many ways, right through, with smiles, laughter and even a few tears. 

When Performers use their Talent and Creativity, to think 'Out of the Box' and do something, which is so 'Unusual and Innovative', the result is always a very 'Interesting Experience'.😊✨️❤️

EVERGREEN LOVE SONGS 🎶❤️

 

Have been listening to different Goan Musicians, Tammy and Roy, Jonathan and Nashvin (Music Fever Co). and Xanisha and Croydon (XaniCroy), singing 'Live' in Goa, over this past week.💕

Apart from the Konkani and Portuguese songs, which I enjoyed listening to, all of them also had a few lovely English songs, in their respective set-lists.😊

These are three of the songs which they sang, that I really liked.

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY 😊

(A couple of very short FB Memories, from 2020 and 2013, on this day, 19th February.)

What a beautiful thought!

A reminder to keep touching lives and hearts, in little ways everyday.😊

'Every day is beautiful in its own way'.

A message worth pondering on, from my favourite cartoon characters.💕

P.S. I LOVE YOU 💕🎶

'Let's Play the Game of Love'.❤️

We live in a 'Pretend, Make Believe World', where nothing is Real, and 'Truly' what it seems to be, anyway.🤷🏻‍♀️

Thankfully, we don't have to actually be in Love, to listen to a 'Love Song'.🎶 We can still enjoy the beautiful 'Songs about Love', even in the midst of, all the crazy and stupid 'Games People Play', all around us.

FAR BEYOND THE STARS ✨️💖

 

When the only people who really 'Loved' us Unconditionally, who truly 'Cared' and who were 'Always There' for us, are all now 'Somewhere Out There', beyond the blue; songs with lyrics like these, make a lot of sense to us.✍️🎶

Whether we sit quietly by the ocean, staring out at the 'Horizon', to where the 'Blue Skies' appear to meet the waves; or whether we're just looking up at the Moon, on a dark starlit night. Songs like these, just make us feel like 'Our Loved Ones' up there, still communicate with us, from 'Far Beyond the Stars'.✨️ 

Even if, it is only our over-active 'Imagination', at work; sometimes, it is these silly 'Illusions', which we create for ourselves, that actually get us through each moment of 'Our Solitary Journey', through this 'Life', and take us, from one day to the next.🤷🏻‍♀️

'Far Beyond the Stars'

My Soul is longing to go;

There beyond the Sun,

To a 'Better Place', I know.💖

Through the darkest night,

I can see, the Heavenly Light,

Far away, 

Beyond the Stars'.✨️

ON 'REPLAY' MODE, FOR LIFE. ✨️💖

 

(An old FB Memory...I wrote this 6 years ago, on this day, 11th February, 2019.

The years keep passing by, almost in the 'blink of an eye'. The Memories, they remain.✨️💖

'Family', and especially a 'Mother', can never be replaced. No one, can ever take her place, in our lives.😢)

For 5 months now, my mind has been on 'Re-play' mode. The smallest things trigger off a memory. A scene, a sound, an object, an event...Little things transport me back in time, in a matter of moments. 

I keep re-living the last few days with you, the long struggle we went through together and I keep wondering 'What if?'🤔

If only I could actually turn back time...

If only things had turned out differently... 

There is so much I miss about you Mama, every moment of every day.😢❤️

I just wish you were still here. ✨️💖

(The Pictures are from various places on the Internet.)

I'LL BE HERE...YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THAT. ✨️💖🎶

 

Two 'Uplifting Songs' to listen to, whenever anyone needs to hear words like these.😊

When the only people, who used to say words like these to us often, once upon a time, are far, far away, up in those 'blue skies' today;💖 and whenever there's no one else to say 'Comforting Words' like these to us anymore, just listen to songs like these on 'Repeat Mode'.🎶✍️

It's what I do, and it works like 'Magic';✨️ at least for a little while.🤷🏻‍♀️

I'LL BE HERE (Song Lyrics) 💕🎶
- Colbie Caillat and Sheryl Crow

Low, when you're feelin' low,
And you just don't know where to run to;
And broke, if your heart's been broke,
And you feel like you're all alone.

If you need something to Believe in,
If you're lookin' for,
A Light to Guide you Home,
Just look inside,
Your Light is shinin',
Brighter than you know,
You should know.

I'm never gonna let you down,
Always gonna build you up;
When you're feelin' lost,
I will always find you, Love.

Never gonna walk away,
Always gonna have your back,
And if nothin' else,
You can always count on that.

When you need me, I will be here,
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here.

Laugh, I will make you laugh,
If you ever feel like cryin';
Close, I will hold you close,
You won't be alone anymore.

If you need someone to 'Believe' in,
If you're reachin' for a Hand,
To Guide you Home.
Just take my Hand,
And I won't let you go,
'Cause you should know.

I'm never gonna let you down,
Always gonna build you up,
When you're feelin' lost,
I will always find you, Love.

Never gonna walk away,
Always gonna have your back,
And if nothin' else,
You can always count on that.

When you need me, I will be here,
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here.

If you need something to 'Believe' in,
If you feel you've reached the end of the road,
Don't be afraid, I'll always Guide you Home,
You should know.

I'm never gonna let you down,
I'm always gonna build you up,
When you're feelin' lost,
I will always find you, Love.

I'm never gonna walk away,
Always gonna have your back,
And if nothin' else,
You can always count on that.

When you need me, I will be here,
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here.✨️💖

COUNT ON ME (Song Lyrics) 💕🎶
- Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans

Count on me, through thick and thin,
A 'Friendship' that will never end;
When you are weak, I will be strong,
Helping you to carry on,
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid,
Please 'Believe' me, when I say,
Count on me.

I can see, it's hurting you,
I can feel your pain,
It's hard to see the sunshine, through the rain;
I know sometimes it seems as if,
It's never gonna end,
But you'll get through it,
Just don't give in.

'cause you can,
Count on me, through thick and thin,
A 'Friendship' that will never end;
When you are weak, I will be strong,
Helping you to carry on;
Call on me, I will be there,
Don't be afraid;
Please 'Believe' me, when I say,
Count on me.

I know sometimes, it seems as if,
We're standing all alone;
But we'll get through it,
'Cause Love won't let us fall.

Count on me, through thick and thin,
A 'Friendship' that will never end;
When you are weak, I will be strong,
Helping you to carry on;
Call on me, I will be there,
Don't be afraid,
Please 'Believe' me, when I say,
Count on me.

There's a place, inside all of us,
Where our 'Faith in Love' begins;
You should reach to find the 'Truth in Love',
The answer is there within.

I know, that Life can make you feel,
It's much harder than it really is;
But we'll get through it,
Just don't give in.

Count on me, through thick and thin,
A 'Friendship' that will never end;
When you are weak, I will be strong,
Helping you to carry on;
Call on me, I will be there,
Don't be afraid.

Please 'Believe' me when I say
Count on me
Count on me
Count on me
Count on me
Count on me
Count on me
Oh yes you can
Oh I can
Sure you can
So glad I can count on me
Count on you girl.✨️💖

MY LOVE (Song Lyrics) 🎶

An empty street, an empty house,

A hole inside my heart;

I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller,

I wonder how, I wonder why,

I wonder where they are;

The days we had, the songs we sang together,🎶 

And oh My Love, I'm Holding on Forever,

Reaching for the Love, that seems so far.

So, I say a little Prayer,

And hope my Dreams will take me there,

Where the skies are blue

To see you once again, My Love.

Overseas, from coast to coast,

To find a place I love the most,

Where the fields are green,

To see you once again, My Love.❤️

I try to read, I go to work,

I'm laughing with my friends;

But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking, oh, no.

I wonder how, I wonder why,

I wonder where they are,

The days we had, the songs we sang together.🎶

And oh My Love, I'm Holding on Forever,

Reaching for the Love, that seems so far.✨️

So, I say a little Prayer,

And hope my Dreams will take me there,

Where the skies are blue,

To see you once again, My Love.

Overseas, from coast to coast,

To find a place, I love the most,

Where the fields are green,

To see you once again.

To hold you in my arms,

To promise you my Love,

To tell you from the heart,

You're all I'm thinkin' of.

I'm reaching for the Love, that seems so far.✨️

So, I say a little Prayer,

And hope my Dreams will take me there;

Where the skies are blue,

To see you once again, My Love.

Overseas, from coast to coast,

To find the place I love the most,

Where the fields are green,

To see you once again, My Love.❤️

Say a little Prayer (My sweet Love),

Dreams will take me there,

Where the skies are blue (whoa, yeah),

To see you once again (oh My Love).

Overseas, from coast to coast,

To find the place, I love the most;

Where the fields are green,

To see you once again, My Love.✨️🎶
