O God!!
Sorry guys I actually have been absent for soooooooooo long! The reasons are genuine & so I thought I'd let you know. Annual exams for one( my kids'). Then it was house hunting. We wanted to move closer to the kids' school & we finally found a lovely place in MRC nagar,unexpectedly. A nice area & there are so many kids for mine to play with! Setting up the house was something which took a lot of time as well. At work it was summer workshops.So i couldn't take an off. O God!it was a gruelling time & it irritated me a lot!
When I was wondering about things happening suddenly & things changing- so many new people enter into your life.So many things happen suddenly & just then you need an anchor.I found this passage while unpacking! Something i had written down from somewhere & forgotten about! Here's the beautiful piece that explains life.
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of CANCER. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which said," Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease?" To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over-- 5 crore children start playing tennis,50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the Grand slam, 50 reach Wimbeldon, 4 to semifinal, 2 to the finals. When I was holding the cup I never asked GOD "WHY ME?". And.... today in pain I SHOULD NOT be asking GOD " WHY ME?"
Happiness keeps u Sweet,
Trials keep u Strong,
Sorrow Keeps u Human,
Failure Keeps u Humble,
Success keeps u Glowing,
But only GOD keeps u Going.....
I found my anchor!

Yeah, thats a very interesting question "Why me". I have also read about this. People tend to ask this question only in suffering times. I didn't know about Arthur Ashe's anecdote...
hope you get back to your normal routine soon...
Isnt it sad that ashe finally died of AIDS? loved this post.
thanks
Rashmi,
Good post. I am also undergoing the same as you. Change of place, job, new people every where. New schools for kids...and so.. Hope everything goes well for you. I liked 'Why me...'. If everybody could think this way, then there will not be any problem anywhere. God is great.
Nice Post !! enjoyed it..
I often tend to find my self in such a situation where I ask to my self "Why me"... :)). I think many of us feel the same.
And.... today in pain I SHOULD NOT be asking GOD " WHY ME?"
Fully agree with you here...people always remember god when in pain...not during happiness...
