Thanksgiving… a day of gratitude


If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough

 Meister EckhartHow easy is to say these two simple words – “THANK YOU” but how many times we just ignore saying this to all those who matter – all those we have taken for granted,  all those who have given so much to us in this life , all those who keep on loving us, helping us, blessing us and making our life easy by just being there!

Would like to take this day to acknowledge their contributions in my life.

  • My parents – my MOM who in the age of birth control and family planning still decided to bring me in this world and bore my pain for 9 months; my DAD  for being most important person in my life and unabashedly spoiling me 
  • My husband/best friend – for treating like God’s blessing to him and loving me unconditionally, for always being there , for believing in me, being my biggest support and my being my biggest critic
  • My parent-in-laws who treated and loved me more than their own daughter. For always believing in me and giving me wings to fly.
  • Blessings in my life – my maternal aunts and uncles – who treated like their own daughter and made me feel so special all through my life
  • My paternal aunts and uncles who were always there when I needed them and even when I didn’t need them 🙂 . Having this assurance that they always have my back is the best feeling in world
  • My siblings (including my cousins and brother/sister-in laws since we were raised as one big extended family) for the best support system in the world. I don’t know what I would have done without all of you spoil brats in my life – for being my partners-in-crime or teasing me to death. My eldest sister for my biggest support system and my youngest brother for teaching me what selfless love is.
  • My awesome niece and nephews – for the awesome photo ops 😉 – for bringing my childhood back , for teaching me what innocence and unconditional love is all about! 
  • All my ancestors – who converted to Sikhism and gave me opportunity to be born in this fearless warrior community which has shaped my personality to large extent.
  • All my teachers who have shaped my thought process and pushed me to challenge my limits
  • My friends – the soul connections I have been able to discover over all these years – all those who are still in touch and continue to inspire & motivate me and even those with whom  I have lost touch – your purpose in my life for that defined time period is something I am thankful for and thanks for crossing my path.
  • My mentors – who helped me chart my career and bring out the potential in me which i never thought existed. My superiors in Eclipse Systems & Grundfos – who taught me what it really means to be a leader, to push my limits and to take any challenge heads on.
  • Thank Almighty power GOD for blessing me, always having my back and showering me with love and blessings of the kind souls in my life.

 THANK YOU!

  1. Thank you Param to set so high standards to respect people in your life and how flawlessly ignore the bad things and take the good things.

    Now I speak to convince people and not to impose it.
