I thank God for not having had luxuries in my life.
I thank God for not having had certain luxuries in my life. In no particular order.
For not having Smartphones when my kids were infants - I might have ended up being the like the super-distracted parents of today.
For not having had an easy time raising my kids in a home in a new country, away from family and social support. I truly and deeply understand the razor-edge on which most working parents live, and get through one day at a time.
For not having had a Car in the days soon after I set up home with my husband in Bangalore. I cherish those romantic moments when we got drenched on our bike with unpredictable torrential downpours.
For not having access to a cafeteria during summers while studying at college. The experience showed me what hunger can mean and do to your psyche - I now have deeper empathy for those less privileged than I am.
For not having a TV at home until I was 12. I still remember the smell of the tomato plants in the plant patch that housed my private playing spot and the endless hours of conversations with my imaginary friends, a la Calvin and Hobbes.
For not having a Car to take me to and from school - I might not have made those friends with whom I walked every day to and from school sharing many stories, troubles and dreams.
What are you thankful for not having had in your life? Share your thoughts.

Beautiful Connecticut 2015
We were at the Aqua Turf Club recently to attend a military ball, conducted for the cadets of the NJROTC program. The beauty of Connecticut is captured in the grounds. A few pictures are shared below from our brief evening over there.
It's a fabulous venue to conduct events and conferences.
