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!

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...

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 ...
