Not a Book Review – Anxious People

. . . So Zara asked, without any sarcasm, “Have you learned any theories about why people behave like that, then?”  “Hundreds,” The psychologist smiled.  “Which one do you believe?”  “I believe the one that says that if you do it for long enough, it can become impossible to tell the difference between flying and falling.” Frederick Backman, Anxious people Have you ever felt the guilty pleasure of peeking into someone’s life for a few days without them being any the wiser? Especially when you have Oracle level powers of discernment that…

Janmashtami – A Krishna Blurb

  He is the darling of millions, the ever elusive but always approachable, dear to kids as a partner in crime, adolescents and as one who lived with his heart on his sleeve and to the more seasoned as one who loved with all his heart and and experienced joy in every moment of traversing the treacherous peaks and valleys that is life.  To me today, he came as a surprise. I have been on a spree of Devi and Shiva madness for a few years now, and eagerly lapping up the…

Meditative thoughts

 Why do we think? Why do we constantly resort to thinking the same thoughts in an infinity loop? Is “chewing the cud” our mind’s resting bitch face perhaps?  I sat in meditation today after a couple days gap and those days are always difficult as thoughts pervade every second and the millisecond in between. I tried to will myself into thoughtlessness and of course that never works beyond a millisecond. And so I gave in, and let the thoughts take over, and hoped my physiology changes with focusing on my breathing would…

EUROPE

When did this suddenly become a travel blog? In the age of the Corona, where travelling is a distant fanstasy, a travel account does not seem like a default place to pickup a persons long lost blogging habit! But you have to start with something that seems worthy and for me, nothing is worthier than the opportunity that we give ourselves to reach out to an unfamiliar part of this world in an attempt to make it our own. I gave myself that opportunity, just in the nick of time too, before…

The Queen of hearts

You have me clutching at straws, blinded by confusion, totally at a loss, In frustration and anger, I hold you responsible for all the things that could have been, that I could have had. You have me lusting at meagerly portions, of even little somethings  that is peanuts to others. Holding that righteous envy as my sole purpose, I allege it to be from your misplaced judgement, Of what I could and could not have. You have me plundering my own soul, from self pity and loss of esteem, I grovel at…

Weight of vulnerability

The above are quotes from the widely acclaimed TED talk of Brene Brown on the power of vulnerability.  Armed with her research of over six years, she claims with feeling that to lead a wholesome life, one needs to led down their armor and embrace all aspects of who they are, which would in turn makes it easier for them to be vulnerable to others. Counter intuitive though it seems, vulnerability is the greatest step towards showing courage and being truthful to oneself and to others. This would enable an individual to…

Conviction…

A little something that has eluded me from the moment I started seeking it, is this specific trait of Conviction! Incidentally, all the people I really admire in my life are people with a strong will power and conviction to carry through their thoughts into actions. As they say, traits that you do not possess awaken a heightened sense of admiration as they seem to require more effort or natural ability than they really do. Lawrence of Arabia, Steve Jobs, my boss, my brother all seem to have this specific trait exponentially…

The silhouette of love

Your love is like a silhouette, Oh! Blossom. I felt like I had a hang of things, but when you smiled and waved, my heart concaved, and I knew it was the best of beginnings! Those days were like the warm hue of sunrise. I felt your caresses like a pillow of feathers, So much carefree solace in your loving embrace, and your streaks of love, my most precious treasures. But, now its like the dusky fog of a winter sunset. your smiles and words have become lesser each day I cannot…

Khashaf……a recent inspiration!

I don’t really remember how I chanced upon “Zindagi Gulzar Hai”, a Pakistani drama that has completely stolen my heart and captured my imagination, of all that’s inspiring and admirable. When I grazed through the first few episodes to get the feel of the series, what I surely was not expecting, was to be hit with a character that would steal my awe and run away with it! Khashaf is a character that is every girl’s dream destination. Confident. Unapologetic. Inexpressive. Intelligent. Unintentionally funny. Rebellious. Giving. Affectionate. And very very real. She…

Changes in life…

Leaving to the next chapter…

Anne of Green gables called those big changes in life as the “Bend in the road”…the ones that you couldn’t quite see but will be quite upon you when you make the turn! Well, I’am at one such bend right now….I have not yet come upon the bend so I don’t know what bend has in store for me. Its a waiting game and I am rapidly losing patience! Oh would you come already! There’s a song that goes, Don’t wanna be here, somewhere I’d rather be. But when I get there,…

For she knows not, another love so true!

Eyes sparkling with hope, the feel of a new grasp in her hands, Shy and coy, with dreams around the globe… she feels her finger in a wedding band! Oh joy! She closes her eyes and thinks of You, For she knows not, another love so true! With tears of pride, hands shivering with delight, she tried to lift him… well atleast she tried, it is a blissful sight – a mother and her life’s light! In glee! She closes her eyes and thinks of You, For she knows not, another love…

My Fear…

It was different that time. He was teaching me to swim! When my dad picked me by my neck, and pushed me into the water. I struggled for breath and ran to the deck, forgetting I was his daughter. I could feel it rise in my throat, but later it faded dim… It was different that time. The first time I moved out of my house! As I packed all my things, and touched them one by one as my last. Unaware of what tomorrow brings, I closed a small window and…

The comic relief in my “Groom Search” adventures! – Part I

“A single woman in possession of a sane mind, MUST be in want of a husband….and that too immediately! Age, sanity, outlook on life and food – Be Damned No bar!”  ….Jane Austen may turn over in her grave if she comes upon this molestation of her opening satire but (Sorry Ms Austen, I do love you), but I think this is the doctrine based on which the Indian Arranged Marriage market operates. Hey, I’am not complaining. While some find the entire nerve cracking exercise of groom hunting in an arranged marriage hoopla extremely frustrating…
