Live a little Differently!

The ways of world are strange; we all talk about peace and love. I am sure everybody wants them badly in their lives. I am 26 and up till now I have not met a single person who said that he is content enough or loved enough. It’s said that man is the only being who can achieve anything he wishes for…true it is looking at the progress the world has made. Then does that mean that man never wanted love and peace in the first place. Or it can be that they wish for the two but are more interested in the opposite. Don’t know really! I have heard a lot of people say –“My life is very complex”, I then tell them “Make it simple then”, and in return I get an answer, “You won’t understand.”(huh) I wish I can tell them that I don’t want to understand, it’s you who have to understand.

The problem is that we have forgotten to be grateful. Yes you heard it right, ‘Be Grateful’. Rather, I will go to an extent of saying that, ‘Being grateful to everything around is the key to inner joy.’ And once you are happy inside you automatically feel loved and experience peace. Once just once be appreciative to everything that you encounter, to the sunrise, the sunset, the color of your room, your neighbors (even if they are always ready for a fight), the birds, the blue sky complementing the green leaves…From people to things, from things to situations or incidents everything, look at them with the feeling of gratefulness. Your world is sure to change then. Once you start being appreciative of things you will notice the beauty that was up till now unnoticed, you will be amazed at what you were missing… As I mentioned before you will feel loved, and you know feeling loved is the best feeling one can experience.

Ok let me ask you something, how do you feel when nobody appreciates your efforts? Very bad right! I feel heartbroken! Remember that everything that you notice and leave unnoticed from the sunrise to the shinning moon is all set for you. Everything that happens in your life is happening for you. They are all there for your entertainment. Be thankful to them!  By being appreciative of things, peace will automatically reside in your heart. Gratitude takes you a long way! Let's live a little differently from now!

I am very grateful to you for reading it! Thanks!

Why do I fall!

A leaf falling from the tree was filled with sorrow,

Escorted by the wind she was about to meet her deadly fate.

She had anger brimming her soul as she was about to touch her reality.

She looked at the tree with all the hope that he might save her from her dreadful fate.

The tree bent down with the longing to hold her but to no avail, her fate was decided.

Both of them were hoping against hope.

Their love for each other was apparent to everybody present over there.

It was witnessed by the earth, the bushes that lay there, every insect that dwell on the bark, the wind and the neighboring trees. Everybody felt the sadness in the air.

The hopeless leaf requested the wind to let her embrace the tree for the last time.

The wind very gently obeyed her and granted her wish.

And both of them got a chance to embrace each other.

Even the wind stood still for a moment, to absorb the beauty.

As she hugged the tree she was filled with fear, fear to loose him forever, fear of losing her identity forever.  This fear made her cling to him even tighter.

The wind then held her from the arm and took her with it.

Come and read to me

All my life I have waited for you
I know you are the one who' ll love me for true.
Ages have past as I stand here
And now I lay in front of you my thoughts bare.
You have to open the locks with the key
Come and read to me

I will shower all my love
As God has sent you for me from above.
You will always hold a sacred place in my heart
And I will always b honest to you on my part.
Together we will make a beautiful family tree
Come and read to me.


My soul will get all the pleasure
The happiness would be beyond the measure, when you would read to me.
You are my he and I m your she
Come and read to me.

A subject less talked about...

The subject that I have chosen today fills me with the risk of getting exposed. As every living human being is most afraid of getting exposed so am I. Everybody to some extent gets fidgety when their feelings touch the ground of exposure. To be specific I am talking only about the over sensitive feelings…not just any feelings. Let me remind myself that some people are brave enough for not guarding their feelings and prove to be a great warrior in the battlefield called Life. But I am no great warrior; I am but a plain and fearful being that is afraid of getting exposed. At a slightest indication of getting exposed I hide myself in a cocoon, rarely then I trouble myself of coming out…the people who have known me might think otherwise though…I am sure you must be thinking of what the subject might be.

Let me introduce the subject to you, it is…

But wait the fear of getting exposed is not letting me come up with the subject. The feeling that I am experiencing right now is of the same kind when I happened to propose someone. Before I touch base on the subject let me narrate this incident to you. Don’t worry I will not go into the details… so the incident goes like this, I happen to call this guy whom I thought to be just perfect for me (that’s the reason you propose I guess), and vomited out all my feelings to him and felt that have committed an act of bravery…I was all happy to be relieved of the burden, only to find out that it was one sided! Heartbreak it was. The minute I came to know that it was all one sided all the feelings for him just got evaporated in the air (guess it was not true love or my ego…I still can’t decide). It was a relief that I was out of it…but the crime was committed, I was exposed in front of a person who was not even worth. Don’t misunderstand me I don’t have any regrets, I still find myself to be brave enough to have done it. It is of course was a brave act for a girl like me as until then I detested girls who proposed! After my act I find them courageous enough. It was a mixed feeling that I experienced, I felt independent (of him and of the burden) but with that I foster a kind of hatred for myself for having getting exposed. I think these incidents only happen to make you more mature. Same feeling capture my mind when I am about to introduce the subject…

On second thoughts maybe some other time!

An Era of Checklists

Rejecting or Getting rejected! Don’t blame the girl or the boy for your rejection. It’s the checklist that is causing it all. Yes the same kind of checklist that you yourself have. I am sure you have also made one, we all possess one! A checklist that states our requirements!

Whenever we meet a boy who is good enough to catch our attention, at that very moment we start with our analysis. We start comparing our checklist with him. One point missing and he is a straight reject! And if the guy is lucky enough to overcome the barrier, there comes the checklist of the girl’s friends…and he is a reject again! Same goes with the boys, a girl goes into the eject mode if she is missing on any point…Of course there are some rules to the game. Let us check out the checklist of both the genders. (The points on the checklist are strictly to be taken in the counting order…)

A Girl’s checklist

1.     He should be rich.

2.     He should be handsome.

3.     He should be intelligent.

4.     He should be very loving and caring.

5.     He should know how to cook.

6.     And blah blah blah…

The list can go on and on…but if it matches the above criteria he is good enough to be a date…One important thing that I forget to put is, all the points on the checklist can be overlooked if he is very rich ;) (Don’t tell anyone!)

A boy’s Checklist:

1.     She should be very beautiful and to an extent that all my friends should get jealous of me.

2.     She should be fun to be with…

3.     She should mind her own business, and don’t be too much of a poking.

4.     She should be smart.

5.     She should be earning.

6.     She should not be demanding and blah blah blah…

And the list is never ending…but if the girl matches these requirements she is good enough to start off with…And in this case too all the points can be overlooked if the girl is extremely beautiful… :)

Lame that is! do you know who is taking advantage of our checklists, the so called dating/matrimonial websites…!

The fact of the matter is not the checklist but our never ending want to get the perfect kind…when the word perfect in itself is a big farce. And you know what we are so obsessed with that checklist that we tend to ignore the person whom we are meant to be with…

Do away with your checklists today and then look around that person is just around the corner…

Happy Valentine’s Week

Redefining the term: Rape

       Do you know that the dictionary is no more a trustworthy source for definitions!  One word that I would like to lay your attention on is rape. Shocked! Yes, Rape is the word that is not defined correctly in the dictionary. Not only dictionaries have wrongly mentioned but also the legislation defines it all wrong. And because of that wrong definition unnecessarily the innocent people get punished. Poor victims! They are unreasonably caught and put behind bars. They are not to be blamed, they should be freed immediately. This mistake happened in the first place because of the wrong definition provided by, I don’t know whom…Let us look at the correct definition, the correct definition will set everything to its right course, at least the innocent people will not punished irrationally. But before stating the revised meaning, let us look at the traditional definition. As per dictionary:

“It is a crime of forcing another person to submit to the sex acts.”

New Definition of Rape:

It’s an activity that a girl/ woman forces on herself by the act of the following;

• ·         Wearing the clothes of her choice.
• ·         Going out for night parties to enjoy herself.
• ·         Sitting and peacefully/ happily enjoying the conversation with her boyfriend.
• ·         Trying to raise her voice against a gangster.
• ·         Having a wish to climb the corporate ladder.
• ·         Travelling independently.
• ·         And last but not least, sometimes just by sitting at home doing nothing.

So as per the new definition, it is not a crime, it’s an activity that women find amusing, it may be forceful but the rapist is forced to act accordingly.

If we look at the new definition closely we would know that it’s actually not the rapist who is at fault. He is just an innocent person who is being trapped by the so called innocent women, and Just because rape causes physical and mental torture to the woman doesn't mean that the rapist is to be blamed, as said before it’s a bloody trap… This definition will change a lot other things as well. If you would study, you would know that rapist after committing the crime (I should not even call it a crime) feels a sense of power, he feels that he is powerful and takes pride in it, but this revised definition is robing him of that feeling because it’s the woman who is causing it, if she wants she can avoid it, hence she is more powerful than the rapist himself.

I am sure a lot of people will agree with me and especially the government as it wants to empower the woman. It is time that we change the definition and make it official. This way at least the innocent people will be spared! The legislation of India will also be spared as it would be saved of all the rape cases. A lot of time then, can be focused on other pending cases.

And if anyone needs to be punished it’s the rape victim, I mean the women (I clarified it because as per the new definition, the rape victim is the rapist himself).

Misunderstood Roles

   As the time stands witness men have always misunderstood their roles. The male gender somehow has this misconception that the female gender has to be protected by them. From the time known, this myth has caused havoc in the women’s life, when the fact is that the women are not to be protected by them but from them. It is as if they are playing a farce to inflate their ego and in the process ruining the women’s life. And now they have got so involved in the role that they take the women to be their private property that too to an extent that they don’t even consider them to be a living being at times. At the cost of protecting the women they destroy them to the core. The male gender is so serious in protecting the opposite gender that they seem to have forgotten the real meaning of being ‘The Man,’ or I would go to an extent of saying that they have misinterpreted the meaning of the term ’protection.’ They protect women as Lord Rama protected Sita by sending her on exile while she was pregnant or like the pandavas put Draupadi on stake. I am sure things will be much simpler if only they clear the mist and see the reality.

Sadness and bitterness encompass me when I think of fallacies of men against women. Sadness on the part of female gender and bitterness on the part of male gender as nobody seems to be a man enough. By forcing themselves on women in any context, they feel that they fulfilled their purpose of being born. Shameless creatures they have become. My heart cries on the current situation of the woman. I am sure God had a very different idea when he created woman. I am sure he did not wish such condition of woman. I detest God for making men so thoughtless and inconsiderate of women’s feelings. Every news about women being insulted fills my heart with revenge.

There is but one solution that I can think of, and I am sure that by this solution things are sure to set themselves right, and even God will agree with me on this, if he is familiar of the status of woman in the current time. All females should get extinct immediately as the situation is hopeless now…
