Musings by Taniya

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...

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,...
