To be or not to be like Water

The more I want to be like water, the more I analyze its character as well as the adversities it hides in itself. So far I was focussing on the exceptionalities. The calmness, the resilience and the adaptiveness. I have been envisioning to imbibe all of these for a while now. These are pecularities you need, to survive on without being afflicted or hurt. Yet, it is hard to be so flowy and accommodating, you will always be hit by hurdles.  Somethings will always try to stop you. Yet when you choose to flow, you shall. When you flow, you put all yourself in. Then there is no baggage behind. You believe to gather yourself and go along all the time. But when you decide a life like that, in real world scenario, you shall only abide by yourself and be prepared to be dispossessed by most people to meet new ones and keep flowing. You shall hurt them and hurt yourself in this process. There will be attachments and heart breaks.  Just as you touch water, you feel cool, you fee...

Homecoming!!

So I usually call my self a happy go lucky soul full of emotions for family and friends. But then I never expect anyone to respond back to me with those same feelings. A typical scorpion trait, probably, I don’t care what others feel about me, I go by what I feel for them. Now it’s been a while I haven’t been with those who are so important to me. I had had my turns of cravings and terrible miseries of being away from home. And now here is the time to meet them all. To begin my journey of meeting the who’s who of my life, I gathered small gifts for everyone who matters. And precisely, at this stage I am loaded in debt, yet that excitement of being with all is so enormous that I might end up shedding a tear or two out of joy. Now this is what happiness is to me. With the essence of social media and high-end connectivity, I have all the ways to express my excitement. I am aware that many would take that as an overdone expression. People do that all the time. I won’t be the fir...

Still Randomly Mine - May

This is in continuation to the previous post, as I am still not over with the Delhi and Mumbai syndrome. Since the voyage between Delhi and Mumbai was pretty quick, there was an obvious comparison that boggled my mind at all times. We all belong to the same roots, similar beliefs, and very consistent needs. Though the demarcation of ones society is definitely laid and this distinction segregates us from the rest. More so, every city has its trend to follow, contrasts ought to subsist. Mumbaikars, I found them far more hardworking and honest as compared to our hi-fi delhiites. No offence to them, but truth prevails. North Indians have always been very snooty and pompous. Being one, I guess I don’t regret this bit. I figured distinction in each and every thing that existed. The taste for music, cuisines, the limit to expenses. Punjabi hip-hop and pop beats rule the charts here in Delhi, it is the melodious bollywood music and other soothing marathi rythms that are preferred in Mu...
