Our Crushing System

  There is a truth about today's world that we all have ignored (and probably will keep ignoring)- our broken vacation system. We are living on a planet that is going crazy in terms of its cutthroat competition. Everyone wants to achieve more, earn more, upskill more and the 'more' is actually making us blind. For example, a person goes to school, does his homework, gives his papers, get good marks and attains contentment. But his parents and teachers tell him that he is also good in sports, he should focus on that in his vacations. He puts his head so much into achieving this new goal, that he forgets he had to rest. Every vacation, the same story happens, until he realised that he is burned out. This may seem so simple but every school, institution and company have gotten in this race of telling individuals that they need to be a multi-performer. Agreed, building distinct and fresh skills is always a plus point but not when it feels like a pressure, rather than a hobby. T...

Belief

Boundaries around your mind is to stop you from wrong not restrict you from the right. Maturity keeps changing and so should you. Tell me, how can you relate to the characters of a previously read book to a book you are reading now? Why do you want to? Believing in the beliefs you had for yourself when you were 16 and then carrying and believing them when you were 16 and a half, is wrong! Six months are enough to change your mindset! Beliefs work great but they don't work forever. You don't even have to make them work if they aren't useful anymore. It's using an empty fevicol bottle to stick the envelope. maturity and beliefs often get in a row. Maturity changes with experience, beliefs have to be changed as per that. Change your beliefs when you know you are atleast a bit right. Tying yourself to a same belief always won't help.Things change. And so do you.
 I think to realise is much much better than pretending unrealisation of things. To realise and absorb in that guilt, drown in the harsh feelings and remain melancholy for sometime is better, I swear way better than blinding your eyes with the fact, 'I was right.' A much worse case, is accepting, perceiving your mistake or situation and not even opening your lips when someone else is doing the exact same thing. It is your realisation of no use if you can't even correct someone. Sometimes, to comprehend the fact of correcting, we think, why should we really tell them it's wrong when we had the similar behavior earlier? But, it hurts like thorns, pinches like citrus in eyes, when others repeat a mistake you had committed and you can do nothing but see. In your mind, your imagination and memory runs faster than you and you imagine yourself in that situation with a different person, different ambiance- just as it was. Such realisation reminisces in a more raucous way when y...

Memories

 Memories. I love you dear memory, When did you get time, To connect my feelings with my neurons, In a gorgeous smile, When i was so busy, Forgetting some bad of you? When I regained something of you, You didn't flump on me.. You didn't try to hurt me.. We had a good process, Of healing, I believe. You made me recall, My eyes became tired of wetting, But for good. So much of me, Time, unsaid, unsent letters, Was locked in you.. I went to catch all of them, Like running in an endless field, Catching dandelions, catching so so much of you.. Some emotions came unconsciously, Some knobs I had to turn to see.. I forgot who I was for minutes, Wishing it was hours and hours I was pulled, akin to pulling a string of yarn, So many eyes,  two lips singing, Fears lost, once  and I was found, once. But it all happened only when my eyes were active, mood delightful.  When the blackness comes to sit with me, You are not pleasant, You pinch, You hurt, You make me cry.. And I sit nu...

Expectations.

Isn't this word a bit more audible nowadays ? Expectations; a huge word which comes with a huge heartbreak. Keeping it is like reading a chaotic book, always opposite. I recently, truly realised that expectations are meant to be broken. Things just don't take the path which we want them to. We keep 'expecting' that things would get better and everything will align itself back but it's as if some part of this universe is always against us, always paradoxical that change s the entire path of our expected happenings. Hoping is a completely different thing which is very often confused with expecting. To hope is to switch on that part of your life which has remained dark almost all the times and you believe that it will be the cause of your ruin but to expect is to want something a bit lesser than a desire and then grieving over it when it doesn't go that way. Expectations take you to a world where you want to be whereas hoping takes a you to a place where y...

New Year !

We are eagerly waiting for this upcoming hopefully explicit year, aren't we ? Well, some of us are going ahead with a wish of everything to fall at it's right place, some are with a fear of everything going wrong again and some don't even care. Nevertheless, you always have something to grab from the current year. People say to leave every single thing behind and start with a new fresh year but I truly disagree with that point. You have to carry a small burden along with you; a burden of pain, hurt and failure otherwise tell me, how are you even going to survive ? You have to connect your sadness not in a way that you keep sitting the entire time regretting over it but in a way that you can experience and stand against it more stronger now. I would say that if you really want to start a new year, start with overcoming the boundary you have created around yourself. Stop this vicious cycle of being dependent on others to bring a smile on on your face. The best thing y...

Eye Contact.

The eyes are the ultimate answer to all your queries and doubts. These tiny little specks flicker and reflect the light of your soul and heart and the best part is, it never fails. To be honest they are the most delicate part the Almighty has gifted us and yet we are unaware of it's sturdiness. Just look into a person's eyes and maintain an eye contact- not your lover or your friend, just a random person. Can you see the colour of the iris and can you see the black pupil drowning in it's vivid colours ? Can you even see the eyelashes blinking not allowing you to look for inside the person's soul for a millisecond ? You can even see the person's strength and weakness, his/her desire and reality at the same time. It's soft and plain look just sends shrivels down your spine, doesn't it ? Now, stand in front of the mirror and give a deep glance to your own eyes. You can rightly say you are directly seeing your entire life's feelings in a second. You can...
