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.

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...
