Into the Sea     

A giant ship in an endless ocean

Standing on the deck and feeling the cool breeze.

Unable to fathom the seabed that lies deep inside.

Mighty waves beneath the calm waters

Guiding to remain strong while holding calm

Sand under the feet makes you realize,

that nothing is permanent.

Into the Sea

6-11-24

Diwali vacation is essential for Gujaratis. They throng into various global and domestic destinations during this festive time. People in Gujarat are fond of holidaying.

Living in Gujarat for so long, I can also feel the same vibes, though traveling has always been a challenge for me, given my sensory challenges and mood swings.

However, I have worked through and managed these challenges over time, which has helped me think flexibly in real scenarios.

Oh! Let me get back to the story…

Therefore, this time we also went on a ‘Diwali vacation’. This trip was different as it involved a sea journey. I had never done a sea journey before and was quite nervous. The ship was so big that people carried their cars and bikes too. It had a big lounge with a restaurant. Many people were sitting there. Sitting in that lounge was difficult because of the crowd there but I managed. However, the sea was so magnificent that I could not think of anything else. Mamma brought me to the deck and it was thrilling. The deep sea was endless, and I felt mesmerized. It was nothing less than a wow moment. It was an experience I would like to take again.

After the sea journey, we travelled in a van to the hotel. The hotel was good. In the evening, we went to the beach. I was so excited to go into the sea. It was so thrilling. I wanted to walk freely over the sand but Ma and Daddy seemed worried. The waves were gigantic and ready to embrace us. The sand under the feet flowed away with the water giving a sense of hollowness and a thrilling sensory experience. People were enjoying water sports. The motorboat ride must have been fun but I found it so scary. Daddy and my cousin had a blast on this ride.

Apart from traveling tiredness, Alibagh was fun.

  Monochrome One day I realised what my child had long  known Between my brows a line had grown Running up into my forehead when I was  tense ... and two little fingers stretched to 'undo' it - I wonder how he had sensed He of all people, I thought would not understand. For I imagined him with an aura of question marks around his head They said he was that way blind - as he would could not read people's mind Left all confused and anxious as he would not know - what a person meant when they frowned or raised a brow. His mind, a black and white world....I thought it lacked some colours bold Felt sorry - and that is where it went wrong - I've realised since.... Range needs to be narrow, for depth to be intense. So many unique gift he has, I find it was I who had been, all along, colour blind By Anagha Jawalekar Range needs to be narrow and depth to be intense....so apt...                              ...

Experimenting with Online Classes

  The Online World That day you shared something, and made me reflect... It was time you had your friends too. Clever of you to pass me the hint!  Hence with guidance, I introduced you to the world of online learning,  and I feel it's been rewarding Coz since then, I have watched you converse, sit for long and listen,  I often see you extending your comfort zone and be available at different times than you'd prefer I can sense that you are able to open up your mind there. I hope you make bonds that last long, that recharge you time and again, connections...that enrich your life. By, Anagha Jawalekar It was Akshat's 18th birthday last month. It is unsinkable that he is an adult now, and I have grey hair and wear glasses now. Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday when we went to Mumbai and Delhi for the training and did all other therapies. He had a different childhood altogether. Nevertheless, we have come a long way. It gives me a sense of achievement when he e...

Coping Mechanism - By Akshat Rassay

Music through my ears So many harsh things floating in the air they are invisible like music but music is fair They give me stress, at times I fear it varies from mild to somewhat severe but music is there. Music is there to  rescue me from the clutches of anxiety from a bad mood to uplift me, calm me It gives me cheer It gives me hope like chatting with mum like writing things down Music helps me cope. By, Anagha Jawalekar One fine day, when I and Akshat were conversing, he mentioned that music helps him to cope. Although, I know about it very well, I thought why not discuss about it in detail. And I started discussing with him on 'coping mechanism'. The whole discussion was in the form of questions and answers but when we ended it, I found that it could make a good writeup on the topic, so I just put together all the Akshat's answers and here is his first writeup on 'coping mechanism'. We started it in November, left in between and then finished it just a few days...
