Nameless Relation

I made you read something about somebody and that made me think what about you. I should write something. I remember most of the people whom I crossed path with. That guy who doing MBBS from AFMC I met in train. That little boy who had come home who was going for his engineering and was anxious to know about the city. That lady I met on train was interested in me meeting her son and insisted I get down at her station. That Sanskrit professor in train who would converse in Sanskrit. Those bunch of friends who bumped me twice in train. And all those people who stayed there for longer. All of them were steps forward. Everyone taught me something. Some good lessons, some bitter but everyone made me better. And now about you. It is too early to write. What I write here may change tomorrow. My experiences with you will have new aspects if it continues. But I feel we will go a longer way than others ...Or maybe we won’t- that only time will tell. I met you when I was going through a tou...

Human Personality

  My journey to my home from my college was two days long and often- well mostly I used to be alone. I used to meet people, strangers and made friends but just for that journey. And mostly their journey ended before mine. So, it meant a lot of alone time. I never got bored because I had a habit of reading faces. All sort of faces-sad, happy, angry, tired anxious, scared, suspicious. Sitting on that top seat, I enjoyed looking at these faces. Often their conversation said a lot about them because they would be oblivious of a person watching them. And I enjoyed it, really really enjoyed. I had always been a loner who liked to be left alone with her thoughts. I enjoyed the journey sitting on that window seat, silently enjoying the music in my ears and the scenery outside. I enjoyed watching people walk by, going on with their task. I used to wonder whether each one is going. Imagining their lives. And just thinking that made my journey appear to be short. I often wanted it to be...

Enlightenment

I am a proud Hindu and I am sure you too are proud of your own religion. As a child (well still) I bow my head in from of Lord Jesus, Mother Mary, All Sikh Gurus and in all Dargahs. Because I see God in them. I see a Goddess in Mother Mary and my Lord in Jesus. I am sure all my Christians friends do not mind it because that is how I see God. Similarly, if any of my Christian friend visit a Temple, I don’t expect them to see God in any other form than their own. As a Child we had this understanding but as we grew up, I saw that changing. Well I thankfully did not change. I still expect the same. I have many friends like me who visit all the religious places with equal faith. I am nobody to decide if one religion is better than any other but for me, my religion is the best. When I visit a Church (well I do often so the mention), I try to follow all the rules. Because somewhere there down I do believe that it is a place of worship so it should be respected as a Mandir is respecte...

Treat Everyone Differently

“I wish my wife was more like you” his remark should have made me feel good but I felt angry. “Why would be she like, she is her and I am sure she would be wonderful in her own way”   Men have a certain image of a perfect woman in their minds. Well in a way all of us have image of a good person, which includes certain qualities and at sometimes we fail to look beyond them. I have this lady in my neighborhood who appeared to be rude and arrogant. Her appearance made her repulsive and people restrained from talking to her. But I had my doubts because when I looked at her kids, their mannerism told me a different story. The story of a good upbringing. The lady would not talk to me at first but I befriended her and found a wonderful human who knew how she appeared to others and she felt sorry for that too. I realized that the hardships she had gone through had made her like that but slowly I saw a change. She started to smile more, stop for a chat here and there looked happier. ...

Sacrifice

HIM My marriage is falling apart- Is it? I really do not have the answer. We were not this perfect couple but we were no less- we were so happy together. We would fight any Issue or hurdle. My wife was perfect for me. She was a good home maker and I felt she was accepted well. Everyone loved her. Yes, there were some Issues but there were no major ones. I guess I treated her well. ME I did not marry him for his good looks, charm or just anything. I married him because my heart said so. I thought I would adjust well. I did try well. I always looked at the positives but then one day I sat there thinking “Who am I?” and the answer scared me. I was a wife, daughter-in-law. I was everything but the person I wanted to become. I had one by one given up all my dreams for the dreams of my loved ones or the expectations from me. Yet people expected me to be happy. Is being loved and cared for enough. Can’t you see that I am not happy. I gave up everything for you all. Yes, you did not...

Self Discovery

There was nothing special about me - born in a simple family. I mean by simple-my family was like any other ordinary family. And I was child who lived in her dreams and I always imagined myself as an actor – I was never real, well hardly. I had covered myself with the layers so that no one gets to see the real me. As I child I had very less friends or I changed them. And at times I wanted to be with a group but couldn’t because I felt I wasn’t like them or they would feel I am not like them. So, I used to be with people who did not have friends or those weak kids. I felt like a ‘Messiah’ and I used to take pride in that but deep down I wasn’t happy with them. I always wanted to be with my group of friends who were smarter and a better company but I was too scared to be accepted back – if only I would have tried, I would have known that I was living in fool’s paradise. Kids accept anyone. Those few thankfully are still my friends. I never really lost touch- we reconnected and we stil...

Harsh Reality

I read an article about how a female MP had advised to a rape victim. She was criticized for saying that the victim should not have gone into a vehicle where three people were already present. And I ask people what is wrong in that, the world around women has become so bad that we have to tread carefully because we are surrounded by wolves and one wrong step can lead us in trouble. Like when one is surrounded by wolves, we have to be careful about every step. We have to analyze, plan, look, keep our eyes and ears and nose and even our sixth sense awake, similarly we need to analyze the world around us. The world, the way it is going seems, will take a long while to grow civil. Stop objectifying a woman. It is Ok to judge clothes but it should not be an identification of character Like Short skirt-Slut Salwar suit-Behenji It should be just like whether the dress suits her or not and again, It is entirely her and only her choice what she wants to wear. Please treat it lik...
