Human Being or Being Human

I keep looking at the word human being only to realize if, interchanged it has a new dimension and meaning to the word. How true and real it seems to me.

This reminds me of an article read on Gaza war.. A sentence that read what is it like to be human? This was one of the questions the author asked. This makes  me think on the same lines. What is it to be human?  Actually human?
The wars still continue in different parts of the globe and day by day the lust to achieve increases thereby pulling away  the need to reach out to one another. To let someone live.

The basic essence of creating a human being  by the creator has vanished in thin air. What is left behind is the thirst of never ending greed, power, and importance in the name of humanity.
Is treating human restricted to providing  food, shelter and clothing?  It has to do something more than just that. If I look at the wars happening, the different protests, the struggle happening across the world, I find one common demand to it all.

The demand to live in dignity. The eye for respect for one another. The freedom to live and express. To dream fearlessly and see it being fulfilled.
The hope of seeing the dawn, able to breathe, to erase the dark allies and be out in the brightness.
All these in one manner or the other is being deprived either by political, social, economical, cultural, religious wars in different  countries.


Wherein, what is to be done is a reverse action of what is actually happening.  Live and let live when applied, gives meaning to the word human being and when the words are flip flopped , it in turn brings out the true  radiance of the word Being human.

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...

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...

EXCLUSIVITY: Let's talk about It!

  This is going on in my head for sometime🙂and in fact for days! It started working more in my thoughts when I started reading the Book- "The Book of a Woman" by OSHO. I was trying to understand his thoughts and what he had to say in his book. He has not spoken about uniqueness in a manner I think of it but it gave me a perspective to work on my line of thinking. HERE IT IS! Relationships come with a mix of blending together, possessiveness and expectations. Relationships also wither because of the same reasons and more. When you have any kind of close relationship( Friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband or a colleague whom you relate to, parents, siblings) exclusivity gets in. In the sense you want that space in his/her life and in their thoughts and heart like none occupy. I am not saying special treatment but one does not want to be with that person like "one among the rest" but do not to give that piece of themself to anyone else. Does not mean you don...
