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

Lale Sokolov with Gita Furman - Images from internet What transpired at Auschwitz or any concentration camp during World War II is chastely sickening, vicious, brutalized, and deeply heart-breaking.  Nevertheless, every time I read or hear the stories of survivors, I become fascinated with the catalogs of these prisoners who managed to forgive, discover love, looked for happiness, and somehow dwelled a full, prosperous life subsequently. This Historical Fiction book titled "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" is based on the mostly true story of Lale Sokolov and Gita Furman, two Slovakian Jews and Holocaust survivors.  It is a story of two ordinary people living in an extraordinary time, compelled of their freedom, their dignity, their homes, and even their names (which are replaced by numbers), and how they withstood Auschwitz concentration camp. In April 1942, Lale Sokolov (prisoner number 32407), a Slovakian Jew, was forcibly sent to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau

  Talking, listening & Sharing I recently joined Clubhouse. Clubhouse app is a modern age Radio —where folk around the world show up together to talk, listen and learn from each other in real-time. I found some engaging discussion rooms varying from literature, cinema, travel, history, sports, mental peace, office politics, parenting, music, and Covid-19, among others. This is an unusual app that has no option to write or upload. This audio-only app hosts live discussions in virtual “rooms”. The users can discuss with each other via audio, with opportunities to participate through speaking and listening. Users cannot upload pictures or videos, or type any text, and everything vanishes after the moment passes- without scope to like, re-tweet or share, or even download it. Anyway, this post is not an advertisement for the Clubhouse app. This post is a sort of self-reminder regarding the “ gift of hearing ” received from Almighty and to the “ power of listening ” which I am unfoldin

Picture from internet How many times a day do we thrash our words away? We say stuff like, “I hate my hair,” “I’m so stupid,” “I’m such a fool”, and never speculate that these terms attract negative energy into our vibration and affect us not only on a sentimental level but also on a biological level, but they do . I recently read fascinating facts about words and their power in the book titled Hidden Messages in Water, written by a Japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto. Emoto says- "water is a blueprint for our reality". There is a series of stunning and stunning experiments conducted by him which include water and words. As per his observations, when frozen water that’s free from all impurities forms beautiful ice crystals that look precisely like snowflakes under a microscope. Water that’s polluted, or has additives like fluoride, will freeze without building crystals. In his experiments, Emoto poured pure water into vials labeled with negative phrases like “I hate you” or “fea
