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 other side, it fails when one has to come to terms with the same number and reveal it. There is so much denial. There is a race to hide it, rather reverse it.

With so much help and methods available in today’s world, it seems to be more evident and a must factor to look young rather than feel young. There comes the rescue...age reversal materials available that makes one look younger from the outside.

Maybe age is starting to understand all of this and is getting to behave the human way. No soon does it get in touch with the personal self it starts looking out to hide and not come up openly. May be it knows it will perish someday or does not want to encounter the D-day. It knows for sure the clock is ticking and wants to keep others at bay from getting closer. It wants to hide from the entire universe escape the universal clock. It wants to reverse the clock somehow.

Nevertheless, how about the inner age? A known fact is-To be young is a gift. It is more so when one feels young in heart and soul. The inner age grows in number day by day and one cannot dupe it. It will go wiser and older in time and will know the worth. It knows the time to come and the ones cherished and lost

The inner self-age knows it all and comes as a true saviour of the show-off age. It taps the outer one, and gently reminds of the changing times and how one has grown with it. The manner it has groomed to have its own individuality with unmatched thoughts and ideas. The growth starts to mature. The timed age starts growing gracefully.


Then, there comes a phase, wherein the age on the outside puts an end to all the glitter around. It finally stays stop... Let us re-live and breathe. At such a phase, it just seems like a number and nothing more than that. In addition, when one encounters it, accepts it with open arms by all means, one just says -WOW... isn’t it just a NUMBER!

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 ...
