Story of a Stone Heart

Story of a Stone Heart 

 Once upon a time a construction work was going on and workers were building a stone wall around a garden. Many visitors used to visit the garden. They used to roam about motivated by different moods. Some were romantic couples and some with broken hearts were pondering about nothing in particular. One broken heart was lost in the garden and could not be found. In the morning construction workers started picking stones and were raising the wall. The lost heart got buried inside the wall with the stones. When the broken heart found itself amid the stones it started chatting trying to befriend the stones. As all of them were stones they ignored the voice of the heart and treated it like another piece of stone. It took a while for the heart to realize that it is now buried with other stones and it has only one choice left that it should change itself. And now broken heart turned itself into a stone. These days visitors enjoy the beautiful view of a petrified heart on the wall. Now the broken heart too is happy as it does not feel pain anymore. Since it is no longer softer and is made up of stone....

Istanbul, historically the most important city of Turkey, is an incredibly exciting and happening and one of the most inspiring cities we have been visited so far. It is a home of breathtaking architecture, culture, delicious food and the warmest as well as the most genuinely hospitable people we have ever met in Europe.

Isn’t it incredible to experience that you can cross the continent in 10 mins by walk over bridge or ferry? However don’t worry, you don’t need to cross continent daily as most of the city...

Mother's Day special

Today is celebrated as Mothers day, a very special day for all mothers all over the world. Everyone shows their love and gratitude to their and other mothers by posting photos, writing something nice about mothers as well as buying gifts. I would like to dedicate this post to the dedicated mother of an autistic child. This mother is very special to me as she's my little sister. Recently, I got an opportunity to stay with her and got chance to observe the life of a mother whose child has special needs. Yes ...I correctly understood what are special needs of an autistic child. This was an eye opening visit to understand efforts she was taking to make everything needed for her son. Children with autism experience the world differently from most people they often have difficulty expressing themselves sensory issues can affect how they smell hear or see things.  Bringing up a child with autism is challenging for mothers especially when most of other people do not un...
