The other side of the Mirror

I am a part of you. Someone whom you can’t live without. I have become a very crucial part of your other self, in other words, am your identical twin. You cannot live with me nor live without using me. I am your boat to success

I speak up for you. I make your presence felt. I give you the leverage of coming face to face to your other self. With so much of importance being rendered and talked about me and in accordance with you, I have my own story.

I am altered, tweaked, left alone at times, unaccepted, rejected. Too cluttered and at times too filled. Sometimes am over done and times just not done enough. At times, I am misinterpreted, also forged and falsified. I feel sick when treated in this manner. I can't complain as I am my own enemy.

Some put me on a pedestal; make me look just beautiful...my looks are given a makeover. I am passed on from one to another in all possible ways and means.

There was a time when I was carried gracefully and neatly and when I wouldn’t feel right was crumpled up or trashed in a bin.

Times changed. Technology changed. I started evolving too. I got experts to handle me. Then I became virtual...I am there but still do not exist.I am all alive but don’t feel the touch.

One thing that is constant at all times is me being rejoiced on success and torn apart on failure.

Why this torture? It’s not my fault but, I am blamed. Wherein the crust of the problem is somewhere else...it’s actually with you.

Treat me right, well, sincerely and feel the magic. I am your own. I am you. You are me. We complement each other. I am yours and truly only your RESUME

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 ...

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...
