Men in love

Image
Men in love An entity that definitely deserves a special mention for their tenderness, emotional quotient and quiet but succinct strength that we often overlook because of their overwhelming ability to show off erstwhile hidden emotions.Previously rare, but now slowly and steadily defying patriarchy and increasing in numbers and influence. Men in love Deserve to be appreciated more. They carry their emotions and vulnerability like a bouquet. Unafraid to cry yet terrified of the wrath of their significant other. They are ready to fight the world for the object of their affection, yet break down when the same person fights with them. Men in love Will defy the society and family for the ones they love. Will face ridicule for going above and beyond the bare minimum. Will stand silent and tall protecting you against all adversities and pain. They understand feminism means equality in all sense, be it in love, kitchen, work or world. They show up surely and silently when needed without askin...

IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

Image
It's okay to not be okay!!!!! When all seems to fall apart.  Hope becomes a dream, and getting out of bed feels hard. Smilling and performing seems a daunting task. Time becomes the prison and you serve the penance for losing you. It seems like you'll never find your lost parts. It's okay to not be okay!! It's okay to not have everything figured out, It's okay to pause and look within, When traditions seem limiting  And conventional feels like a cage. It's okay to stray from the timeline you mapped out thyself. It's okay to feel too much and it's okay too to let go. If u feel it doesn't serve you It's okay to not move forward,  It's okay to stop and reflect,  Or going backwards to make amends Who cares if it doesn't make sense. It's okay to catch a breath, and   It's okay to bow out of the rat race. It's okay to have boundaries. Walls that only few and precious can scale. Gates that open only to those who you deem deserving. I...

Mind the D.....anger!!!

Image
A quick to flare temper and impatience are two of my  worst vices and possibly the root cause of most of my physical, mental and emotional maladies. It will be convenient to attribute it to my fiery type A personality or maybe the fact that I am an Aries by horoscope, but that's cutting it easy. If I am not as driven or competitive as a type A,  I can surely not be impatient and quick to anger as one. Or atleast I can try to be. But sadly this short fuse is something I've failed to successfully rectify time and again. Over time  I agree I have mellowed down with age, but still the stormy temper brews silently below the surface. And ever so often something sets me off and the storm comes to the surface, leaving me with a bitter taste in its  aftermath. What I regret most about this issue are two things.  One, is the loss of control over our words that accompanies us on losing our cool. I believe words sent out and time lost can never return, and sometimes words d...

From I & U to US

Image
In this self serving age of individualism and self discovery can 'You' and 'I' really ever become 'Us'?  Where my ego triumphs over our harmony and your needs trumps over our happiness? Where being selfish and unwilling to compromise is lauded by many, how can we ever adjust or attune to each other's needs? I am ecstatic on discovering how to love myself and you are learning to put yourself first. But didn't 'Us' get lost in the whirlwind of I, me and mine. When did we last have a conversation with empathy and sensitivity? When did we last not get defensive while flattering our egos? When did we last actively and actually talked and aspired to clear the fog in our minds and relationship?It is about me and it is about you, but when will it become about us. What do we do to reach a place where you and I can coexist and co-prosper?  Maybe you should talk and listen with open hearts and souls. Maybe I should listen and talk sans offense or defense. M...

LOVE: An explosion of contrast

Image
LOVE  An emotion that's long controlled hearts, souls & sanity Simple yet so so complex Afraid to lose, yet brave enough to fight the world Effortlessly full of effort.  In the wrong hands, it drains our very essence  In the right heart, it overflows and blooms Sometimes it makes our eyes sore Yet can suddenly make our hearts soar. It can slowly encroach the stoniest of souls  Encompassing their whole being.  We lose ourselves in it Yet some find their life's purpose in it. You feel you are falling in love  But then it makes one feel like they are flying high!! Love can often shatter you into pieces But it's love that then puts us back together again.  We love each other blatantly and fully rarely can we love ourselves in equal measure. Love, it comes in all forms and matter. It slowly and steadily creeps in  And catches us all unaware. No one can escape its trap It ensnares the loneliest and the strongest of us all.

KARMA

Image
This above came as a forward a few days ago and it got me on a thinking rant that somehow went like this..... We say God doesn't exist Yet we try to play the God in someone else's life.  Karma is an illusion  Until it is serving us. We cry that the legal system are tools of the Elite  Until we become one ourselves,  And go onto play with those tools. We resent being controlled  But hate when called controlling. Humans are corruptible And experts at hypocrisy. We like to play the victim, But maybe in someone's story  we are the villain!!!! We judge, we criticize and we crush But we cry wolf when the same happens to us. We hate the bias and ostracism And then go onto shun those we consider beneath us. We preach punishment for others Yet cry foul while committing the same crime. We throw stones at others  Yet can't even handle a few harsh truths thrown our way. A mirror to our soul and truth Exposes our own hypocrisy and double gaze. We avert our eyes,...

MILLENNIALS: Time to find ourselves

Image
One day, as our fathers, forefathers and mothers kept renouncing the generational gap, somebody woke up and chose violence. He/ she decided that it's high time we acknowledge and label different generations, hence the "" millennials "" came to be. A sad lost and hopeless generation, stuck between the past and present, analog and digital, artificial and organic, duty and love, wokeness and traditional. We have seen a lot of changes around but not within us. We saw food shift from natural homegrown to artificial and chemical laden. Now we search for overpriced, chemical-free and organic sustenance. We moved from rearing cattle with our parents to becoming lactose intolerant as we age. From postcards and letters we slowly came to perfunctory statuses and WhatsApp messages. From sleeping on chatai on rooftops with cousins in summers, we moved to air-conditioned isolation chambers. We spent our vacations playing on the roads and gullies with friends and cousins. No...
