As more and more incidents keep happening, its no longer enough to worry about it and blame the authorities for being brutally blind to all this. Let alone the fact that everyone other than the authorities who have power seems to see what the obvious punishment shuld be declared as! Reading newspapers have become a disturbing routine of everyday life now. But when we pray for the victims and for our dear one's safety, dont you think there is pondering required on the real factor that's causing people to turn cannibalistic? When did we humans start being so overwhelmed by our desires! Sudden exposure to things which the mind can't differentiate as right or wrong often leads us into obsessing . Human nature gas always between to desire for what's not at hand . So For example, people who haven't had much chances to use internet, when they get an opportunity tends to overdo it. It is the same with every thing in our life. Learning to control our desires is a criti...

...to the world of Rapists!!!!!

It was a cold morning and i slipped out of bed careful not to wake up my two year old sleeping peacefully beside me... I hurried to the kitchen to start with my chores for the morning. one of it being retrieving the milk packet from my front door, i opened the door and picked up the packet and the newspaper. I conducted the usual ritual of reading the headlines and was about to flop the paper on the table, but before i could walk off something caught my eye. Dumbstruck, shocked, numb, shivers.... i don't know exactly how to explain that moment of pain. "Capital shamed: Girl gang-raped on bus in South Delhi", it read. Details of it all of you would have read. It was too much to believe.  As i managed to handover the paper to my husband and walk away, my mind was flooded with the many such articles I've read in the past. brutal cases like these have been in the papers on and off. Fathers, Uncles, Careta...

SALE SALE SALE ... everywhere a SALE... that's how it is now when u tread outside nowadays. Every other store has an ON SALE board hung bright and bold in front of their entrances,and knowingly or unknowingly we get pulled in. So last weekend i was on this shopping spree, desperate to checkout the sale at my favorite store, i made time from my usual schedules to head out and indulge. Since the day i had planned for this, my mind had been on this all alert mode, where i pick up colors and patterns from everything i see, from tv serials to magazine pages, to distant memories of beautiful dresses worn in my favorite movies. Every now and then, in between the routines my mind would return with a new color and pattern to put in my bookmarks list, so that i can refer to them when at the store. All set for the endeavor i headed out to the store. The innumerable colors...

Forgive and ForgeT? or Revenge and Regret?

There are basically two kinds I've come across.. The ones who forgive and forget and the other who don't! While the former glazes through life leaving breakups and regrets behind , with the hope of a better tomorrow, the latter holds on to the past and evaluates everything the future holds in terms if the past memories. Even the smallest mistake you do with a person who never forgets will be written in big bold letters in the book of your relationship and will be referred back and forth every valid and invalid times. Hence evidently forgive and forget is the way to be if you want to enjoy life without the dark shadows of the past. But in todays wild world, there are some others who take advantage of this Forgive and forget trait. Just because we move on with life more easily, people tend to think that they can get away with anything ,cos we'll forgive them and get along as if nothing happened. So then it becomes important that forgi...

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum {If you carry your restlessness in your heart, then you are alive} Nazar mein khwabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum {If you carry the flames of your dreams in your eyes, then you are alive} Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehna sikho {Learn to live free like the gusts of wind} Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sikho {Learn to flow like the waves in a stream} Har ek lamhe se tum milo kholke apni bhaahein {Embrace every moment in life with open arms} Har ek pal ek naya samha dekhen yeh nigahaein {Each moment your eyes see is a new season} Jo apni aankhon mein hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum {If you carry wonder in your eyes, then you are alive} Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum {If you carry your restlessness in your heart, then you are alive} These are lines from a Bollywood (Hindi) hit movie…..

  Excerpt:    "Everyone knows they're going to die,but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently." All of us have thousands of complaints right? about the traffic, the food, the salary,the work, the politics,... on goes the never ending lists. So amidst all these regrets and worries, there came by a book which left me thinking how silly i am !! A professor counting his last days of life, shows us the true meaning of being alive! to not surrender to the disease is one part of whole book, but the most important part is the lessons he teaches us. Excerpt: " Take any emotion-love for a woman,or grief for a loved one, If you hold back on the emotions-if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them-you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid.You're afraid of the pain,you're afraid of the grief.You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself i...
