Love you Mom

By -
'Mom', the sweetest word in life. No one can ever forget her self-less love and care. Inspite of being in delicate body of a girl, she bravely bears the biggest pain for us. She is the strength of a family. She can quit the biggest of her dreams, for the welfare of her kids and family. And if she works, she still makes sure that her kids get every bit of her love and care. She is the one to balance the work-life schedule for entire family. We all tend to take her sacrifices for granted ever since our birth. While we are kids, we depend on her for just everything. She happily takes care of us. She cooks for us, takes us to play and chats with us never bringing a sign of her hectic schedule and tiring day on her face. She just sees the happy faces of her kids and that makes her day happy. Then we grow up, and start living our own lives. Slowly, every activity of her daily life, like cooking food for us, talking about our day, worrying about our healths, taking care of our things, all start appearing mundane. Her grown-up children go away from home for their own lives. She finds it hard to accept that her children don't need her for all these things anymore.
I, as a grown-up daughter, think that my mom's this phase of life, when we kids are all grown up and can take care of ourselves, its like achieving a goal of life and at that point realizing that the journey to this goal was better than destination. Its as if, during the period of our growth, she forgot to grow herself. And now being for too long in the same phase, she has developed a zone for herself and its not easy for her to leave it and start living her own life again.
She wants to still live the same way, taking care of her kids and if the kids are away and she can't do much, she starts to develop unnecessary worries just to keep herself virtually involved in her kids although it does not change anything in reality.
I want to say to my mom, that mom, I know its difficult for you, but I think you did really great. That is why we all kids are doing great in our lives. And also I want you to know, that we all love you a lot and we need you always with us. But now its time for you to change the role of a nursing mom, and now you have to be a mom of adults. Your kids are like your "hum-umra" (same age) friends now. We feel happy to share our thoughts and life activities with you, and would like to see you enjoying them rather then keep worrying about us. Love you mom.....please stay happy always.

C++: const

const is trick to begin with ... this is what I found while working with it ... 1. References: They cannot be changed to point to some other object 2. Pointers: Can be changed to point to something else 1 class Foo { 2 int i; 3 public: 4 5 void doit (const Foo &that) { 6 that.i = i; //Error 7 } 8 void doit (Foo &that) { 9 that.i = i; //Okay 10 } 11 void doit (const Foo *that) { 12 that->i = i; //Error 13 that = this; //Okay 14 } 15 void doit (Foo * const that) { 16 that->i = i; //Okay 17 that = this; //Error 18 } 19 void doit (const Foo &that) { 20 i = that.i; //Okay 21 } 22 void doit (const Foo &that) const { 23 i = that.i; //Error 24 } 19 }; --Sorry about the alignment, I dont know a way as of now to correct this ... I guess it is readable though ! If someone already knows, let me know (how to preserve the formatting like we do in wiki) test2.cpp: In member function `void Foo::doit(const Foo&)': test2.cpp:6: error: assignment of data-member `Foo::i'

Living with Equanimity

 Last month, my husband, decided that he was going to go to the Burning Man festival. This was his first time going there, and having not experienced such an event myself, I went through my own phases of first denial, then anxiety upon reading a lot about this event and watching umpteen number of videos. Ultimately, despite being worried about his health and well being while he is out there, I accepted that if he does want to do it, I want to rather support him in his choice than to fight him or try to persuade him to not go.  I helped ensure he got all that he will need while he is there, and prayed time and again for his wellness and safety while he is there. He was gone for almost 15 days, and I had to manage my office work, kids classes, back to school nights, chauffeuring to extracurriculars, homework helps, cooking, house chores, and my own community engagements, keynote and speaking commitments all by myself during these 2 long weeks. And doing all that while being super anxious
