Shiva Even children know the bounds when it comes to body shaming. They know people appear different and variety is the spice of life. And outward appearance has no connection to who the person really is. It is quite unbecoming to indulge in hitting below the belt...

Shiva American press used to highlight such acts of racism around the world. I wonder how some take it lying down when it happens at home. With the present POTUS, one is never short of nasty surprises.

Shiva I keep moving around every half an hour or so. I go for a walk most days. I do some deep breathing exercises. I sip water the moment I feel the need to. And I do not hesitate to get up to pass urine at night than holding it up longer.

Shiva At times, those who deserve less in terms of needs of their family manage to get preferential treatment. And some get even ignored as if they are just digits. A sad reality of life - "all are equal but some are more than equal."

Shiva I like to keep in mind during tough times "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once" is a famous line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Then "This too shall pass" is always comforting.
