Fall Foliage - Day12 #100HappyDays

-
Happiness is going on a trip/picnic to Long Island's very own Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. It was organized by GWISE, Graduate Women in Science group. I went with Ankit to Mr. Coe's estate or Planting Fields Arboretum. Mr Coe lived in this estate around 1913. It is a huge garden with horticulture and plants. It felt like Cubbon Park of Bangalore in Long Island. It was a beautiful day with Fall colors in a Halloween season or the pumpkin season for me :P. I think pictures are a better way to describe my trip. Cheers to some awesome pictures we clicked.

Dumbfounded I sit thinking how little I know about the world. The experiences people have/had. How much deep the suffering can really be. I thought I have the deepest scar in my life suffering alone but here this lady has gone through things which stands way beyond my wildest imagination. Everything she wrote in this book felt like a fiction. I could hardly believe it is a memoir. I have heard/seen kids not going to schools because of various reasons. Staying home doing all odd jobs to help get food on the table. But life is still normal. As a kid, go help your father/mother at the construction site or farm to cultivate crops get some extra daily wage for the family for food on table or actually floor. But never did a thought cross mind what goes on in families like these when one of the parents is a bipolar/schizophrenic. It is super hard. A kid not going to school and growing up listening to the random imaginations of a schizophrenic paranoid patient, is almost like living in a cage....

Present moment is inevitable

Have we ever questioned the present moment and stuck there? Let me share an incident: I had to take my sister to railway station/airport. But missed the airport bus and cab drivers cancelled. Got frustrated and helpless and panicked. Then we did miss the flight. You know I keep complaining oh why didn't we wake up early? Why didn't we prebook the cab and so on. But after few minutes I thought ok now I cannot do get back the past moment. I got a whole another day to spend with my sister. that's it. We both walked back with our suitcase and enjoyed the rest of the day.Booked the flight after 2 days and then life moved on. You see, what happened? It happens everyday right. You get stuck in traffic and question oh why didn't I leave early or why didn't I take the other route. You get in conflict with someone, you question why did I say that, You miss a deadline in office work, you question, oh why did I go for that birthday party? why did I watch that Netflix show/ What...
