" Log kya kahenge"

People under the twenties bandwagon are always under spectatorship, specially by relatives, cousins and neighbours.
They face immense amount of emotional turbulence, sense of insecurity and society's pressure.
The entire stigma is about winning the race. Race where you have to be earn a handsome amount of money and get settled in life. For Indians, specifically this means getting married. That is like the ground rule reality in India. You ought to get married in your so called marriageable age or else you are either too late or outcast to fit in.
Career wise if you are a female, common "why do have to earn so much?", "you have a man to look over",are some common phrases to be heard. Chronicles of our society are webbed and dusted and they truly need to be spoken against.  People give into pressures, when they cannot hear people taunt anymore. Analytically speaking in India we make more decisions based on our family and society's view. For surviving in this shallow society, we seek acceptance. See, changes are not very well accepted in our culture. If you dare to ignite change, you are a spoilt rebel not respecting family and their values. You ought to be on the same page here with the society. Follow traditions, enjoy your culture, ethinicity, spirituality but do not measure people on the same wavelength. Do not follow a certain herd mentality. Pursue your instinct. This passion and this spark will bring you to meet yourself. That contentment will resurge after few years, even though you might not see where the life is swaying you. I have always believed that it unfolds in your best interest always. So right now, believe in yourself, set your goals right and yes don't let this negativity imbibe in you, you have to dream big, see the bigger picture and let the story of you life unfold. We are not here to oblige people, rather we are here to seek love and get love back. Be comfortable with yourself and yes have faith that it's all going to fall in place. You're beautiful, embrace that. It might sound corny, do what you love, be a little selfish and do not let the world teach you how to live.

Smile, just because it's been a good day!

Virtual Trauma.

Have we lost the essence of things we do?  These days, expressing is more about snap chat, emoticons, face time or texting. Where is that old school way of expressing? Even a simple " I love you" has bruised itself to ILY.  It is just kind of sad, that relationships these days are more digitally dependent than ever, not that it doesn't come with great amount of advantages for the LDR's ( Long Distance Relationships) but overdoing the technology has actually evoked our sensitivity as humans. These days, enjoying our own company is more like, sitting by ourselves, and using our smartphones. I am a victim of this technology and I'd admit, that it has taken a toll over me. I mean honestly, it has just kind of started to seem stupid to go up to a stranger and start up a conversation in person without looking stupid or desperate , for its more convenient to that over virtual platforms available today. There just so much out there on the web, on the virtual space t...

Enlightenment.

This word has intrigued me for so long. What does it mean anyway? In my quest of finding answers, I encountered a lot of ART OF LIVING workshops, where they read verses from the holy BHAGWAD GEETA and compared that with the practical truth in life. They guide people to live a content life, give a sense of direction if your lost,if your soul is restless. They help you heal from within, well for certain people. But for me, this never attracted me, for me this was not enlightenment somehow. I read about meditation, about how it opens your third eye, how it helps in bringing the light to your darkened diminished soul. But that didn't feel like the enlightenment at all, strangely! Then, as I grew up, I learned about yoga, how it brings a person at peace, yes certainly it does ,but my question still remains unanswered. Did it help me enlighten my soul? I tried taking a Reiki healing course in quest of feeling and experiencing that spark, I thought, my soul longed for. I thoroughly b...

HYPOCRISY.

Hypocrisy or falsity is a big disease in the present world. It's pandemic!!! Hence aptly our century is called as " KALYUG " meaning ' The Age of downfall'. According to hindu scriptures it is said that this age of hypocrisy will meet its judgment day which would mark the end of the world. We are always told to act and believe the age old idioms and phrases taught in the childhood and we swear by them. On age old phrase is " HONESTY is the best policy". Seriously is it? I mean why teach something that can't be practiced in the real life. The gospel of life is that you cannot live with honesty and it needs to be adulterated by small portions of hypocrisy,manipulation with a little hint of lie to just add that dashing flavor. I do not sound politically correct  right now but by far this is the reality of our existence. What exactly is hypocrisy?   Hypocrisy  is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc....
