the present

-
Living in present is the best gift we can present to ourself. I made the following list of to-dos for this year-

1. Not indulging in the past. what;s been done is done. Nothing can change. Rewinding the cassette of what could had been done is simply waste of mind, heart and hormones (u know the adreline rush which may occur when we think aggressively of the past or any alter consequence for some set of events in our alter universe). 

2. Being responsible for my thoughts. Whatever we speak is first generated in the thoughts and if i become responsible for the thoughts, i may not be speaking those words for which i may repent in future.

3. Keeping silent. This does not mean i am weak. i have to be very strong if i want to keep silent. everyone is speaking (or shouting) now days but keeping the silence and being in peace should be the new trend in the chaotic world. Keeping mum gives me the time to think (and re-think) and create responsible thought and this thoughtfulness will result in exact words needed in the time. And many times i find, keeping mum have averted the unnecessary conflicts.

4. Staying honest with self. Being polite with self is most important. Associating with so many whys with self is very problematic like why i am not fair, why not slim, why not putting weight, why no boyfriend, etc.etc. Just appreciate yourself. It is about being okay with negativity (definitely not accepting but simultaneously working to correct it) and focusing more on positive would result in better self.

Who is She?

She Disclaimer- This post is a modest pour-out of sensitivities or rather it is my way of introspection, after hearing numerous elements of violence on women as circulated in various media platforms. We often feel proud in saying that "we have changed as a society and are now more human", but is it so? She is strong. She is empowered. She is a Devi. She is the centrifugal point of the world. These sayings are some of the stinging satire of our so-called modern society. Many say She has been liberated … from whom . She has been freed … from which conservators . She has been permitted to tell her mind … although her spoken words directly filter out from their ego . And yes, she has been allowed to wear anything … with a big BUT involved. She is a day-to-day companion in the community. She can be seen administering home and kids, running in offices, standing tall in politics, cooking quietly in the kitchen, driving hard with a focus in mind. She is present anywhere and everywhe...

Who is he?

Disclaimer- After briefing my view on her through the blog post " Who is She  ", this post is an attempt at my introspection on the “status” of the other  "50% " of the population. The basis of the write-up is what I have observed and felt. Is He a Ram or a Raavan? Is He a Krishna or a Kansa? Is He a Kalki or a Kali? Glory is his other name, or is it retirement time for this whimsical term? Since the inception of cultures and civilisations, males in our societies have been set to perform and tick specific criteria. The he-man of our society has since tried his best to live up to this reputation over time. However, nervousness is visible in him, primarily in the current times, when his defined roles are being questioned, and he himself conflicts with the hypothesis of malehood. These defined his-roles are formulated either through self-imposed judgments gathered from the experiences of others or through upbringing notions set in him, leading to specific ima...

The Missing Goat (Small Story)

Absence vs Presence Disclaimer- It is a popular story shared on social networks.  It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon in a small town near Toronto in Canada.  Two school-going friends had a crazy idea.  They rounded up three goats from the neighborhood and painted the number 1, 2 and 4 on their sides. That night they let the goats loose inside their school building.  The next morning, when the authorities entered the school, they could sense ( & smell!! ) something was wrong.  They soon saw goat droppings on the stairs and near the entrance and realized that some goats had entered the building.  A search was immediately launched and very soon, the three goats were found.  But the authorities were worried, where was goat No. 3?  They spent the rest of the day looking for goat No.3.  Gradually there was panic and frustration.  The school declared classes off for the students for the rest of the day.  The teachers, helpers, gu...
