The last ten months have been quite a journey! Lot of learnings, lot of experiences. As usual my mind is bustling with so many things to write about. But I will try to stick to one 😅

Well, this is something that has bothered me since I heard the phrase during my college days. One of my closest friends had made a remark that 'blood is thicker than water'. That was the first time I heard this phrase and ever since I have been trying to make the world believe that it is not true! I remember vaguely getting angry when I heard this and also had felt very sad. I did not believe that. 

I take time to make friends, but once I do, I usually get close to them and the bond becomes very special to me. Of course most people have close friends and am sure they are special to each one. But knowingly or unknowingly majority of us have this 'inner circle' and 'outer circle' built in our mind. Usually this 'inner circle' is the first family - parents, children, grandparents, real siblings. 

An incident happened yesterday and it made me re-think about blood being thicker than water. When we deal with people in our so called 'inner circle' we forget and forgive negative incidents/talks/arguments/fights more naturally or more easily. But when it comes to our so called 'outer circle' we carry every single word for many days or years. Aaagrrrrrrhhh! Is that fair? That distinction between inner and outer circle is becoming so prominent these days in this world and I so wish we all change 😌 Wouldn't it be a lovely experience when everyone treats everyone alike? I know there are millions of factors that contribute to everything and every situation. But we can at least try right? And as I always say, the first step is to become aware that we are doing it and accepting that we are doing it. And yes the next step, not waiting for the other person to behave in a similar fashion 😇 And the most important step is to believe that all circles (relationships) are equally important. 

Let us all try and make our inner and outer circles one and the same 😁💗

Beautiful tall huge raintree - like our inner circle
When we look beyond - our outer circle is standing quietly exuding beauty in a subtle way
Both are equally beautiful and important 😊 

Powerful nature, makes everything beautiful

This video says it all 💗😂❤
