A Coronial Tale !

As we are walking hopefully towards the start of 2021 and happily flapping off to this unprecedented year 2020 .

In these last 10 months of 2020 we realised that we all function mechanically in a defined form, we as humans are not designed to be caged and confined within four walls. If we just turn a bit we can see how plastically we used to behave with eachother without empathy. 

Before an outburst of pandemic our social and ethical responsibility was to live with our near and dear ones , to value and nurture life . A life which is worth of everything to die for perhaps we just slogged to tame our hunger for wealth, health and self.

Life after corona has changed in many ways , people are more concerned and attached to their kins virtually still not personally. When world is falling off , surrendering down in front of a minute virus the social and ethical responsibility of each one of us is to adhere the safety norms , to stay indoor to shape this ecological and historical sphere into a safe shelter for humans to survive, instead we are again ignoring the need of the hour just to relish the freedom of breathing in an open air to relive our lost moments. Is it wise enough?

Studies states that people with strong families who live in tight-knit and supportive communities are significantly happier than people whose familes are dysfunctional and who have never found a community to be part of. 

The nub is to understand that we all as a society form a family which pat , hug and kiss together. Thus it is now upon us whether to spread happiness or suffering(Corona).

Taken for Granted !

This morning as it was pouring, I lay in my comfy bed pushing myself to be an early bird. Before I could think of anything my hands started searching desperately for my 'Jigaar ka tukda'  encompassing  tons of notifications ,few reminders, and some missed calls that glued me to it like an addict who has lost track of time.Apparently, I had no urge to call back to the calls that I had missed considering them as 'Routine calls'.

Monday morning blues: meetings, issues, deadlines, and the chaos of the conference calls kept me engrossed, efficiently, to beat this day.Meanwhile in -between this mayhem I made a conscious reminder to myself of giving a call back. 

And after 6 hours I made the call to my Papa who had called me before around 6 O'clock in the morning, from a garden, because his friends had not kept their promise. So ,when I called him back we conversed about him wanting to talk to me just for fun and to let me know that he still buys the 'Samosa'  while returning back from his work/walk because that was my favourite❤️.

After finishing the call I realised that I have taken the blessings in my life for granted.I have set my routines and rituals according to this tethered competitive world, which is sadly receding my emotions, and growing the distances.Becoming plastic to an extent that relationships are turning merely 'Functional', and then sobbing in the grief of being 'Alone', which I am sure now is happening because of me taking things , taking people, and taking myself for granted. I can't blame anyone for this as I have pushed hard, I have distanced myself, and I have confined myself within the four walls of self-denial. Moreover, and  not to my surprise, whoever has tried to or is trying to pull me has seen me refraining myself from them by hiding in the cluttered clouds of the business of life.

Before I regret more than I already have, and before my act of 'taking things for granted' stales my stability, I need to cajole the inner me to invest in retaining the freshness of my Life, and spicing up my relationships for the benefit of myself and the others 😉.

Still not so ' Equal '.

Few days for Mother's day and the entire world would be gushing their social accounts with heartening status and lovely potrait of their mums ,celebrating to honour the influence of mothers in society. 

Strange enough to accept that on the flip side we are defaming women in the worst loathing manner. Treating a woman like an object just to get a sense of superiority is a psychological illness which needs to be behandled immediately and intensively.

Jibing on the physical appearance of a person, passing sexist slurs to insult the intellect, age, promiscuity of someone whom you considered to be bullied  because she is a woman who is a piece of trash and can be crushed any time ,anywhere and anyhow is solely despicable.

Unsurprisingly history puts up the evidences of women being subject to assault and deprived of basic human rights from medieval age. Astonishing is the fact that we never tried to chew over on this seriously ,why it's a male dominating society?

The only reason at that point of time for this discrimination was based on the occupation , agricultural was the only form of employment during those days which demanded great muscle power to produce bread and butter and this led to the dominance of Men and there was a lack of education among people.

Today we are in an era of globalisation and liberalisation where our economy runs through technology not by ploughing the fields, which requires man power as well we are now considered to be the highly qualified professionals ,dusted with knowledge and intellect still falling apart to respect a woman.

This ingrained mentality of belittling women on a public platform without knowing about the penalty for breaching a line shows our rotten mindset.

As a woman we shouldn't be submissive and ignorant towards any sort of malicious act or taunt. As a human we need to bring some order to the house to impose humanity and equality in their conscience.

Our Education system requires a tweak in term of educating the students about the defamation laws, they should be thoroughly aware of the fact that there are laws for disturbing social order and they can bite too.

We need a fearless Youth nation not a frightless ' Male - nation '.

The ' Quarantine ' Period

As the entire world at this moment is going crazy as a bedbug due to the contagious Corona Virus. We  have annexed a term ' Quarantine ' in our dictionary.

I feel not to lament on the struggle of Quarantine as everyone is quite gloomy with the fuzzy logic channelled socially.

Sometime back I read in Bible that 'Quarantine' was the desert in the 5th century located somewhere between Jerusalem and Jericho where Lord Jesus fasted for 40 days, God was tempted by Devil for 40 days and 40 nights which lord refused every time. Lord Jesus were all alone for a long period when he fasted to change the world for good. Men like Moses and Elijah who were all alone with Jesus learned a lot about God in secret. They learned more about the power of the 'Holy Spirit'.

We have been trapped by the Devil named COVID-19 who is trying to break us and do wrong with us. As Jesus fought with all his strength, so we have to gather our scattered pieces bit by bit to give it back to Corona Virus.

Thy shall pass too, the time that we have in our hands is to bring ourselves close to almighty, to ponder about our lives and purposes , to realise that at the end we belong to our roots ,our people, our values.

Trust me God has his own way of doing things, when we remain deserted with his thoughts and prayers ,we do things in God's way with his powers.

Let's get up, chin up, doll up with all the zeal to stop the clattering of Corona by staying safe and indoor, by fostering social distancing for some time. 

At last just remember what Galib said once , ' बुरे वक़्त ज़रा अदब से पेश आ, क्यूंकि वक़्त नहीं लगता वक़्त बदलने में ' !

Will you be my Valentine?

I won't lie but this puffed up Valentine's Day noise made me pen this down as I see people going bananas .

In today's era of valentine's day celebration I want someone who rejoice my shortcomings to boost me up ,someone who holds my hand to give me strength not to stop me from being me, the one who protects me from my own insecurities rather been concerned about my out times, an imperfect person who believes that I am alike him a human soul with lots of apprehensions, someone who makes me comfortable in his skin , someone who turns up and just listen when I pour out my heart, just the one who understands my desire of having cerebral opportunity, the one who feels that I am an integral part of him whom he need to nurture not to suppress and demean.

I don't want him to paint my life with expensive gifts, holidays or luxurious lifestyle just push me a bit with your galore of conviction and hues of love to bring the best out of me.

" बस इतनी सी उम्मीद है कि तुम साथ वहां से देना जहां से सबने छोड़ दिया हो वरना मिलते बहुत हैं मोड़ पे छोड़कर जाने वाले! "

Flow of Energy .

“Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transformed”.

We all had passed the most memorable stage of our life which we call as “Student Life” when we used to mug up about atoms, energy, force, inertia etc. Well! This is not for what this piece is written for, perhaps just to sort, understand and manage our self bit wisely and efficiently ☺.

According to one of the theories of human creations, the one which states that Humans are created from Stardust fantasied me to pen this down. Entire universe including us is made up of energy as Quantum Physics says that as you go deeper and deeper into the workings of the atoms, you see that there is nothing just energy waves. Every cells in our body has its atoms lined up in such a way that it has a Negative and a Positive voltage inside and outside. This Negative and Positive voltage steps in as our Emotional reaction against an action towards surroundings.

If, in general, you list down things that gives you pleasure or peace – be it looking at the moon, basking in the sun, riding a bike, smoking a cigarette, going on a vacation, enjoying a shopping experience etc. is your positive or optimistic way of doing things because of the positivity (Inside and Outside).

Whereas on the flip slide when you are not well and precisely then the workload increases… Sleep gets less and intermittent, when we hit rocky patches in the workplaces and all the mysterious problems peek in.

Well! In such cases, it is important not to think too much or try too hard though it would be great to simply surrender to the vagaries of life.

It’s just a matter of mind, to change the game you need shrewdness. Negative and Positive is absorbed and reflected by us. We need to shed up the negative thoughts,company, people, place to stump competition of life. Just a flow of energy that we need to divert to spread positivity, the vibes of good energy automatically begins.

“Sometimes, problems don’t require the best solution. They just need a ‘new’ one!”

To make the flow of positivity in abundance we need to neutralize the Energy Vampires and channelize our thoughts by surrounding our self by positive posse of people be it co workers, friends, family who support you, encourage you. Instead of focusing on all the things that go wrong each day, focus on the one success - the one great meeting, conversation, or sale and let that inspire you to create more success.

Embrace the positive energy formula E + P = O i.e. we can’t control the economic condition, job market, reaction of other but we can control our energy (E) and positiver reaction (P) which will result in fruitful outcomes (O).
