The CIRCLE…



Journey – A combination of paths, space, time, wait, direction, emotions, difficulties, achievements, failures, happy moments, sadness and at times a feeling of immense bliss and ecstasy.

All of us have undergone this journey and carried along with us such times and still do and will going further till our last day. It is a well-known fact that a journey that starts at some point of time comes to an end. But, during the completion of every journey, one undergoes lots of twists and turns, bends & curves that make it difficult and at times cumbersome to reach that point of closure.

The inception of this unfolded travel  that initially takes off smoothly and that which has tasted the nectar of success and bathed in the rain of achievements and its different shades of accomplishments, all of a sudden or maybe in the due course of time either weakens or strengths itself depending on the pricks or fruits it bears.

Every journey irrespective of the time span travelled and the distance covered does 2 things-It either leaves a milestone at every important stop for other to follow or leaves behind empty space and dusty roads with no sign of return.

With so much of unpredictability, struggle, and uncertainty that it offers makes me think—what makes it interesting or worth take this long tour… Is it an individual choice or a compulsion? Is it a choice of an individual to fulfill a cause or a motive to reach a particular point or is it just to gather various delicacies that it offers which gets transformed into learning or is it just to live for the journey itself to gather that it bestows one with and relinquish it along…To imagine, feel touch, see, endure and applaud the beauty of it & thank oneself for being allowed to live it and, in turn, absorb all the events that come one’s way, to be able to be a part of it in any manner one can be.

What’s the most difficult part of the journey? Could be the acceptance of the flow of it. Trying to inhale the idea of its closure or maybe waiting to lead into space and the universe that everyone on earth belongs to…Or is it about leaving everything behind and the fear of the unknown, the reasons and contemplations could be umpteen. It could be unclear, at times very uncertain as it could be. Difficult to reason out with all wisdom and logic.

If I have to sum it up..The journey in all its senses, in my opinion, may end physically but not otherwise. It continues forever...The end of one point of it gives birth to the start of another...Which in turn follows and completes the circle and keeps evolving from time to time.

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY.   This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

I am You AND You are Me!

Have you ever thought about comparison? Something that is so easy to do but is highly complex in its form? As a Child and a growing adult, I detested being compared with anyone. I did not understand the reason.  I kept thinking, how can one be compared with another? It is often executed as if it does not matter and is done as a matter of fact! I never understood why it is even done... One thing I knew was how it made me feel. What implications it can have. Comparison is a mighty Tool. It often breaks one but at times builds the Craziest ones. The ones it builds end up repeating the "Compare cycle game" Comparison is not saying, you are not doing or studying or performing like the other person but it is also trying and striving to be like a "PARTICULAR PERSON"  Why do you want to be someone else? Be a Photocopy? Why not be YOU? I was often asked, "Who is your Idol? Whom do You follow?" My all-time answer would be "NONE". I say that because there i...

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 ...
