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 you wish to be. That is the reason why hoping comes with a minimal and bearable amount of sadness.

Nevertheless it is ultimately the human tendency to expect and to fall, to expect and to learn. Learning isn't bad but learning  after consuming so much of sadness everytime is quite wrong.
Hope for the best and expect for the less- that's going to work, isn't it ?

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...

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...
 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...
