Offings on the way!

-

How often do we muse on those incidents and teachings that give us a lesson for life? Wisdom gathered from here and there and making it stick on forever. And seldom do we thank those fellows for bringing light to those hidden adages.

I clearly remember that day; it was rather uneventfully consequential day of my life. A father figure told me to make the most of the choices that come my way. Having said that, he emphasized, “Communication is the key”. Those words, still ring in my ears. In that short span, right in that moment it became a phrase associated with me for good.

But then I never looked back and thanked him. I never realized how he managed to guide me for the rest of my life. If I now brood on, thirty years seem full of teachings by those god-sent men (at least for that moment). And I wonder how many such people helped me be what I am today.

I am so sure; we all must have learnt something or the other even from tiny little needle to that n bristled toothbrush. Getting a little less theoretical, honestly, with google in hand and the entire world at our feet, despite feeling on top of the world, we all must have had our moments of fascination that gave us light to look beyond.

Does this feeling of enlightenment, this course of sagacity happen to us all at some point of time? Or is it just the work of a free mind constantly creating a feel good factor? By any means, when one stands alone, on the other side of life, at the last straw, everyone eventually goes through all those incidents happened so far. Far, as in, really far! A lifetime!

Life keeps knocking in our head to stop, to look back and cease, then cherish and move on. All this happens in fractions of seconds. Try it on!

Someone Just So Special!!!

-
You say you like someone, then you say you have crush on someone, and then there are some whom you just like all the time of your life but they are not your crush, not your beloved, neither your best friends. During the journey of life, we keep bumping into people of all sorts, style, manner, genre and psyche. We befriend some; we fall in love with a few and some just go by as “Wow! I like him” and then you forget them the next day. There is one more classification. There are some people you simply like throughout your life without much expectations. This liking is so mutual, you are utterly comfortable with this person, you enjoy talking, sharing; you build a great level of trust with each other; and things never change between you two. There is an unambiguous alliance, based on trust, care, admiration, and respect, that institutes a mutual affinity which continues forever. You get into relationships, you break off, you make new friends, you party with your childhood best friends, ...

Equal and Dignified

-
Equality- what exactly do we mean when we say we are equal. I suppose it is just that there is no bar to measure the others status, right or opportunity. When we say we women are equal to men, what do we intend to refer. Is it the prowess and potential of cerebral competence or the reference to the daily chores where we try to satisfy random egos in a hustle and bustle? My idea of equality has always been a free will to express your thoughts, take a stand of your own action, being independent of the biases. But when I hear people talking of comparisons on imprudent issues such as; if a man can go on a field trip so can a woman, if mothers have to stay home to look after the baby, why don’t the fathers do the same; it makes me rethink that its not just the stand of a man or a woman, we have very conveniently reiterated equality to settle our frustrated thoughts into mind boggling issues. I felt being a hypocrite when once a friend of mine refused to tip the waiter saying girls are not...

The pArt of Living Nonsense

-
The title itself may provoke numerous minds, but that’s the whole idea behind writing this post. To awaken those who are still sleeping with imposed facts shielding their thoughts. We were young enough when we first heard about these famous saints who brought the concept of living with the power of smiles. Though blasphemous it appeared, it did manage to gather a million blind followers. No fear keeps me away from criticizing it for I strongly feel against it. The whole concept is to pretend that nothing wrong can happen, maintain your positivity and just turn a deaf ear to you problems. They will either shun by themselves or give up under the power of your so called positivism. Psychologists suggest that optimism does bring about a change in a person’s perception. But this theory of achieving harmony with an exaggerated version of pretentious optimism eventually makes you so hollow that you stop defining your own instincts and powers. For all I ask here is how can you really over...
