Coupled Identities

Identity is a symbol of recognition. Is it a symbol of feeling the existence, believing and sensing the presence what does identity actually mean? Or to be identified?

One is identified by deeds, act, and personality, for one’s intellectual or spiritual knowledge. This stays forever… This is a belief. On observation, identities are only after coming into existence and one lives for a lifetime. Prior to an existence of a life and its existence in its actual physical state, identity does not exist.

A fetus does not have an identity but has a life though its existence is felt. It is identified only after it is formed and takes shape.  It’s the same situation in a different manner when one life comes to an end. The identity is replaced by the word body and addressed as a soul, or a spirit or a ghostly figure…What happens to the actual identity? Which school of thought do we come from?

This is so ironic to the symbol of identity. It makes me think is identity confined to only until one is alive in physical state or does it have something to it beyond its actual existence. Prior to the physical form and latter to the attainment of physical form, why does it diminishes.

On a broader perspective identity should not be associated with anything. It should not disappear once perished and be replaced by a word or the manner in which it is addressed. It need not be complimented with the actual identity (physical or non-physical state).

More or less similar situation before inception.Is it all the chemical reaction that leads to a formation and hence no identity associated, as it is yet to be formed or is it because we see identity as a physical state of existence.

Isn’t this thought only an illusion? Is it not the time to break the illusion and start to re-think all over again? Identity is in every single particle. Seen or unseen felt or unfelt. It is the part of the entire universe which is always there.

At times, we fail to associate with it. Maybe, because we block our minds with a thin membrane of illusion that stops us from thinking deeper. A thought that tells us that identity itself is not a physical form prior to its existence or it perishes.

Identity is in the thoughts, the perception of you. It ever exists. Identity is not bound to time, object or any kind of materialistic or non-materialistic existence.

Both the prior and latter existing identities actually complete the entire circle and are coupled together.

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
