JUST TO BEGIN

  21 st century is a boon but more of a curse especially for the youngies. Let me say you why I think so, once I was attending a webinar (the new trend of Covid -19) while I was listening to it I suddenly realized that how all of us had to compete so much with each other just to survive in this world. Obviously, this realization is not something new but the idea and sense of this existential crisis made me wonder.  So, one morning I had this odd feeling to write on this and allow my contemporaries to shed a light on this idea. With abundance of exposure through various platforms and varieties of sources availability, our choices are tend to get confused at times. It is natural to feel nervous because of our habit to achieve a specific goal by a certain age. On the contrary I also feel, who decided that at some specific age we need to be at a certain position? I am not denying here the idea of accomplishing goals but just a question on these set of limits? Today everyone fro...

A trip with college friends is always fun but when we together visit a place which tells us a story of glorifying history about our country is just a cherry on top. It was fascinating to visit at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Museum, Bardoli situated 34kms from Surat in Gujarat. Its really amazing that most of the museums in India charge very nominal yet their maintenance is appreciable. As we all know that, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was one of the foremost leaders of freedom fight, and faithful follower of Mahatma Gandhi. But there is a short story behind the relationship of Patel and Gandhiji which is well presented in the museum. There is a diorama of Vallabhbhai Patel in the museum, smoking cigars and playing cards at barrister's club along with his friend. An elaborate description is given beside this diorama that somebody invited the members of that club to meet M.K. Gandhi who had come to explain his ideas about an Ashram and a national school. Initially, P...

Coming to an end of 2019, I thought of writing about bidding goodbye. Goodbyes are tough, can't disagree to it. There are sudden goodbyes like demises, subtle goodbyes for instance, when a butterfly is sucking the last part of nectar from a flower and the list may go on. Adieu is considered an end but its not if you just ponder upon it for a while. An end is just a beginning to another wonderful moment or journey. Sometimes sayonara is beautiful, if you say it and believe it truely then you are giving a chance for something new. A change can enter into your life which will turn out as a miracle which you misunderstood as a threat. 2019! A year of gratefulness, a year of revitalised learnings, a stepping stone of self acceptance, a year of spreading love and peace, imbibing this positivity let's adieu together 2019 and heartily welcome the new path of our lives.😇

Inspired more by self? Well if not?! Then stop now.....take a moment and feel this emotion that I am feeling now while I am writing (*typing) this down. Take a leap in your present moment, whatever you are going through or feeling now...let it all go! I would love to know your reactions, your experience on this or even those moments when you have actually experienced it. Tell me why? What made you feel like this? I would love to know all. Let me know in comment section. I will be waiting for your answers!😁

They fly high in your bourn, They flow and get slow, They reflect your aura, Its all about your persona. They compel you, They ride you to your lowest point, They even shatter you in pieces at times, As they seize you. They are overwhelming, They are disciplined, They are frenzy, As they evolve. Well the list can go on, But tell me who are they? What are they? They exist just like your shadow, Never leaving your side by hook or by crook, Because they are emotions!

The summer sky seemed a bluish canvas filled with all the coral and golden colours, abruptly stroked all around the setting sun. While the little cactus plant on the barren land all by itself bloomed so lush and green. The setting sun was stupefied by the flourishing growth of the cactus with each hot day passing by. So today he decided to ask the little cactus below about it, before setting down.  Sun: "Hey there! Little cactus." Cactus (surprised): "Hello!" Sun: "Today it was really a sunny day eh!?" Cactus (smirking): "Yeah! It felt I was burning in the hell. But, isn’t it you who can control it?" Sun (proudly): "Indeed. Though, I have to follow our mother's instructions." Cactus (happily): "Oh yes! By the way, how come today I got so lucky to get noticed by you?" Sun (calmly): "Well, you must be aware I observe everything around me. Since my days have begun I noticed ...

    If doors are closed, then surely a tiny little window is open for us always. The only thing is to find it out where is it located and how to reach till there? One fine day, I was just attracted towards this word called 'window', we hardly notice such little words though, that can be connected with our emotions in various ways. Hence, a thought passed to write about it.    I feel, films and sitcoms do play a role of window for exiting the reality for a while. Being a film student, I have been trained to watch movies with absolute new dimensions. That change in my perspecive wasn't sudden rather slow and enjoyable, and still in process . Movies are of different kinds some are like a book, we cannot judge by their cover (title). Few are like an open book, if you watch keenly they can be the answers for your questions. There are certain films like gems, that shine nonetheless of the era they were made. Even the most precious films are said to be as go...
