"Saath Pheras"

 

During traditional Hindu marriages we have the practice of performing ‘Saath Pheras’.  As we all know it is a ritual performed on the newly married couple.  The couple are asked to take Seven Rounds with incinerated flames in the middle. I am sure most of you know the meaning of this ritual and the Oath the newly married couple take while taking each round.  The “Meaning of ‘Saath Pheras’ are as follows…    

  1. With the promise to nourish each other I take this first step with you. 
  1. With determination to grow together in physical, mental and spiritual strength, I take the second step with you. 
  1. With the promise to preserve our wealth and prosperity I take this third step with you. 
  1. With the vow to serve you with happiness and harmony I take this fourth step with you. 
  1. With the promise to care for long life and health of our children, I take this fifth step with you. 
  1. With the vow to be together forever in all consequences, I take this sixth step with you. 
  1. With the promise of everlasting friendship and true companionship, I take this seventh step with you!                                                                 

We are so fortunate to belong and inherit our Culture which reminds us periodically about our Matrimonial Oath.  There can be instances in everybody’s married life that we disagree on so many factors, at those crucial times if we can read the above ‘Saath Pheras’ it can bring in an array of hope, calmness, compassion and balm our feelings.  It would rather pacify and assuage to be accommodative, let go and look ahead!  

It is prudent to  pray - May Almighty God bless all married couples to lead a happy and peaceful life for ever.

Daughters are Special Gift....!!!

  Daughters are Special Gift….!!! From the time immemorable, many stalwarts have written a lot about Daughters, and I thought it would be apt to join the band wagon and pen on this incredibly special subject called ‘DAUGHTERS’!   World over, this week is celebrated as ‘Daughters Week’ and it triggered my enthusiasm as well to share my candid feelings…..!! Every man in this World aspires for a Daughter, the reason is unknown and beyond words.   It is just a natural instinct to aspire for a daughter.   When a daughter is born the Father is so excited and instantly starts feeling a sense of extra responsibility of guarding her from a toddler to her adolescent age.   He takes pride in all small things that his daughters does.   Although, his Wife, becomes little insecure as there is bound to be some competition in everything thereafter.   I guess no house is complete without a daughter.   The warmth and glitter they add during festivities are amaz...

  GoSavvy Goes Global!!! We had planned to take a one-week break and approached Mr.Abhijit Bhandari, who heads our travel vertical – GoSavvy . No sooner had I mentioned our plans than the GoSavvy team took complete charge, requesting a free hand in planning and scheduling our travels. On the penultimate day of our trip, our children bombarded us with questions, concerned about the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan. But Abhijit confidently assured us that our travel route was safe — we were flying south of the hemisphere. Much to our relief, that very evening, both nations declared a truce. As scheduled, we boarded a late-night flight from Namma Bengaluru to Hanoi , followed by a connecting flight to Da Nang .   Upon arrival, we were warmly received by our smiling guide – Andy , holding a placard. What caught my eye and stirred my heart was the GoSavvy logo alongside our names. A thrill ran through me — and in that moment, I whispered to myself, “GoSavvy has ma...
