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…

The Awakening Call..

It took in a lot of effort to write this article. Not because it was difficult to write but did not know from where to start. There were so many unanswered questions that were going on in my mind. Dignity, self-respect, confidence, hope and a zeal to live life against all odds is what adds value to mankind and makes life worth living. At some point of time, all these value-adds are at stake. It makes things more difficult when it is hurt and dealt at random with no fault of the person, but is hurt due to certain horrendous acts. One of such is hurt and insulted in the recent days that made headlines which shook the entire nation. This, in turn, started getting diluted politicized on a large scale and on a personal note—became the fight of the sexes  Why do we always wait for such a terrible thing to happen which becomes an awakening call? Makes one realize that the society that we live in is so 2 sided that it can take it and live with it if it goes unnoticed and su...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO.   The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways.   We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self.   It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...

Isn't it just a NUMBER!!!

Age? Have I heard it right? I would want to give this age stuff  a food for thought. What is the fuss all about? It seems to be all normal and happy going with the number twenty. Come thirty and there starts the slight panic button and forty-all hell breaks loose. May be it works differently for both the genders. For men, life can start at forty and for women it can either start or cease. In today’s times, looking at the way things have changed everyone is into tricking their bodies to look young and hide that age. As if, it is a taboo or maybe a concept of looking young forever. This age thing too is tweaked and has its side of hypocrisy. This so-called age does not come in the way when one gets into a relationship or has to achieve goals in life or starts to live life all over again. It becomes a number and nothing more than that. This age becomes an inspiration and an example for others to follow. It becomes a source of positive and courage.   On the ot...
