See-saw is interesting. The minute you move up, the air feels so delightful on your face; you feel exhilarated. The moment you move down you feel the surge to thrust harder and reach higher. It was an entertaining activity for me whenever I went to the playground. I indeed love it to date. It was a game of balance and also the one where you supported while the other person went up. Life, as we perceive, is a replica for the same. The problem arises when we don’t look at it that way. Whenever we put efforts to achieve something the thrill and the bliss the peak gives us is admirable. We feel at the top of the world and overlook the encouragement of those who help us attain that position. Then in life comes a point when we are at our lowest low, but instead of pushing hard to reach the top again, we gloat. We criticize our ‘ Kismet ’, our stars, our surroundings, and everything else except us. We just give up by trying once or twice.  What happens to us wh...

Why do I shy, when I have to cry? Why do I fear; when people are near? Why am I trembling; when I see the one I love? Why is there no respites; only tears I have longed for happiness for a while; I have learned to steal smiles at times The darkness has been profound; But my heart always got some respite When he went out; in a few hours I lived my life Then came the pandemic; which tore me apart Virus or beating my fate was written in dark I cried and shouted all in vain His frustrations were all to blame. Don’t get me wrong he loved me too, When he kissed my eyes he bruised. Now I am not sure will I survive? But, I know for sure I don’t want to live this life.

Keep Calm and Carry on So today as we all know the Lockdown was extended. So we all are in this for a long haul. We were all prepared for this, but somewhere in the back of our mind we were hoping this all to be a dream and we were about to wake up in a normal world. It is the need of the hour and I wholeheartedly agree to stay at home. But, things are going to change this time. As much as we love our family and are relaxing at home. It is slowly and steadily make an impact on us. Slowly we are now getting tired of the mundane routines; despite learning, reading cooking and having fun with our family. The craving for meeting people, walking on the road, moving around without fear and doing as we please is getting stronger. During this time, I have realized how many things I take for granted…like being in a park, watching a movie, ability to hang out with friends and simply enjoy life without the fear of something dreadful. Some people have been in such situations ...

Life is beautiful for some and not so beautiful for others. Everyone has a different view of it. Those who see beauty in life are the ones who cherish each moment of it despite of its oddities. While some may not be able to see beyond the negativity of it and hence, unable to see its beauty. In life you may fall in any of the two above categories or you may shift yourself from one to another over a period of time. At times we fight hard to keep the positives alive, while at times the circumstances overpower us and cloud our thinking. The best part of human life is; that we are capable of sharing our feelings and emotions with others. We have people around us to share our sorrows and double our happiness.  But, at times we fall prey to self-loathing and inferiority complex.
