A Word…Self Personified




BEAUTY is abstract…It is magical and has its own sweet essence. It cannot be measured or quantified in it’s true sense..May be that’s one of the reasons we all have our own definitions to it and our respective personal way in viewing it. We try viewing it physically.

We compare it from one to another and believe that what we see and defined it is the absolute truth and existence.

It is said...BEAUTY lies in the eyes of the beholder...But do those eyes...Become a boon or a curse...It’s difficult to say and predict. 

Does BEAUTY define the existence of this entire universe and our own worlds or does the existence of this universe and each and everything created under it define BEAUTY?

BEAUTY is like the cold wind, the damp mist, the autumn leaves, the drizzling rain, the cactus, the rose, the lotus in the swamp. It’s like the mild winter sunshine, the thick fog that covers the dark mountains. It’s like the glittering stars and the dusky moon. It’s like the vast universe. It has its presence in each and every particle that makes the universe.

Then, why does it so happen, that this word that draws and brings with itself a positive energy and a sense of satisfaction and grace with itself, at times becomes the ultimate darkness from where there is no return.

It is emphasized so much that at times it becomes a curse than a boon. The meaning and the essence of life is lost and destroyed. Life is supposed to be beautiful in terms of its offerings and existence. It is beautiful and not beautified in a tailor-made fashion.

It makes me think at times, that we are so much in beautifying things and recreating it in a manner that satisfies or pre-defined conditions and thoughts, that we are actually losing the meaning of the word itself. 

The meaning is so much misinterpreted that at times there is no U-turn to the entire created misconception. In this entire process of satisfying ourselves and our make shift world and or own ego, we do not realize of its affect on others and the impact that it may create.

The word---BEAUTY in itself creates positivity, confidence, motivates, It brings along serenity, peace, tranquility and umpteen joy and happiness…

The magic of this purity should stay on and live forever… The scent should spread and linger on each and every soul on earth. Its existence and fragrance should give life a new dimension and meaning.

It should touch the inner soul and nourish it and not bring an end to the entire magic created.  BEAUTY is a feeler, it is an experience and a volatile musk that spreads in the atmosphere and stays there forever until eternity..

Experience it...Live it… cherish it …and let it live in the hearts, souls and thoughts of each and every living being..rather than in the living being itself…

WOMAN-THY NAME.....

Strong as a rock, emotions running deep as the ocean, patience of a saint, sweet as nectar, innocence that of a child, Mysterious like the universe, thoughtful and wise like a preacher, at the same time furious like the fire, anger like the volcano but above all someone who stands against all odds...This is no one but a WOMAN. As I was passing by I heard someone ask. Do we really need a special Day to celebrate for Women? I t can be taken in 2 ways. One—Maybe because she is special always OR in a note so positive form—Like Why do we need a special day for her? Don’t we already have so many days to celebrate?? Well, my take is...we have valentine’s day for people to express love –rather people who love each other, we have mother’s day, father’s day, May day so on and so forth. But, they are categorized for either a section of people OR for certain relationships.  I feel, Woman's day is a day that acknowledges the female gender, as a whole, irrespective of age, nation

1996-A Summer Afternoon

It was a summer afternoon. I was going through my college photographs, wishing those days were back and time would just stop there. How Nostalgic...The mere thought of it would bring an instant smile on my face. I was lost in thought when I recollected one of those adventurous trips that we had on one such summer afternoon. We friends would love to explore different places during our graduation.Those were fun filled days..no stress, no tension (except exams and project completion not to deny). Those were the days when we just wanted to be in the open...with nature...Do what we feel is right and just not bothered about the rest of the world. As said by someone time doesn't wait for anyone and does not come back. We set off to a nearby place at first.This is in the southern state of India with its mystic beauty and full of valleys and greenery.A sight that would take any one's breath away...On the way back..we found a fishery.They would breed fish there.We thought of explo

invisible writer

It was just another dull, ordinary day.. a more or less a routine.. where one is programmed oneself and knows which task precedes the other… On such days we often feel there would be something exciting happening in our lives..  at least for a few minute. Maybe this was the day…. I stepped into office thinking the tasks to be completed and anticipating more tasks that would be piled up for that day…. Everything seemed normal as always…people greeted each other in between work. Some working seriously and while some were on a short break as they had arrived before our batch started working.. in shifts(night). no one knew what was in store ahead of us…we were planning the day’s work…I, as usual, switched on my PC and logged in. checked my inbox for a few new emails…. It was passed 1:00 a.m in the morning where one lives like they are on the other side of the globe. It was later then that I resumed my work…Was doing some updating of the work done before when the writer struc
