Judging Book by its Cover!

We tends to judge people by knowing them outwardly. People often make perception about you based on preconceived notions. That are limited to your outer self that only shows less of yourself. In life very few knows you in real and appreciate you...for who are you in true sense. It is easy to judge anybody by making assumptions about them. When you don’t try to understand their reasons.....that define them. It is easy to say that person is serious...when you don’t know them. People who know you. They will not say anything along these lines. Everyone has their story and very few bother to understand it. Nobody acts in certain way without any reason. It can be small thing or big. It is based on their life journey. Serious people tend to feel more...that why they usually stay silent in gatherings. They can see things that are overlooked by others. As their focus is else where. They understand many things but don’t say it. It’s not because they cannot say anything. They talk to those who l...

Knowing Yourself

Questioning yourself? What you want? From your life! Is important To make a way For you in life Knowing you Is needed for Your personhood To go in your way Following your path That is different We all have our path Based on our choices Regarding the life Not good or bad Just different  In many ways Knowing you Is necessary For all of us For making  Life meaningful!

Silence

Saying without words Is it heard in any way? Can we hear silence! You won’t be heard Silence is loud  Makes you say Things that you Don’t say mostly Silence makes  Noise that is loud It can make us Say things that We kept in us For years by Making us brave To say out loud That you never Said to others It’s not quiet It is louder Than words That we say Sometimes Words are  Silent than Silence itself Very few notice The difference Silence is in words Too when you say But keep what  You want to say To yourself Say what  Others want To hear from you Not saying is Silence too!

Water lilies!

Floating water lilies Looks pretty in water When the flowers bloom They enhance its beauty The leaves of water lilies Hides the water under it You only see water Iilies At night in the moonlight Water lilies brighten up Fireflies flying over them Looks like tiny glowing  Grains of sand at night

Voices

Many voices you hear Only some you notice Mostly pass by you You want to hear Only then you hear Rest of them go away You are not receptive Hear that resonates With you in many ways Those carry messages You give a ear to some Voices that you heard That are in sync With your beliefs 

Mosaic!

Humans are like mosaic They have high and low In their personality traits They have their beauty It cannot be compared All have their uniqueness We are different in our way They have their strange mix That cannot be overlooked All are beautiful in their way You just need a inner eye To see beauty of people That are around you

Perks of Spring

Sun light brighten everything  You can see tiny lines in leaves They are so intricate and small New leaves are visible on trees It symbolises that spring is here You see wild flowers in grass They beautify the green grass It add colors to grass in spring

Echoing Voices

Echoing voices in empty space Voices have unwritten messages That are conveyed to you by echo That are mostly cryptic or coded They are not stated in direct way They have some hidden meaning That is lost in the echoing voices As if you are speaking to yourself Nobody understands it only you Makes you think what it means It’s not clear what is the intent These voices are for yourself Just passing by you for others

People to People Interaction

Some people we know go through something and....how often we try to contact them...to ask them. How are they doing? Social media has improved the access among people. It has increased the distance between people. People have thousands of contacts but many of them never even met each other. The real interaction between people has limited to their online posts or likes. No doubt.....technology has improved our life. However, It cannot be replaced with people to people interaction. We used to have it....before internet took over. People used to spare time to meet others. In age of internet....you see something else on their social media. In reality, mostly it is different not necessarily bad. The significance of people to people contact cannot be overlooked.

Disagreement is Important!

How is okay to tear others apart to give weightage to your opinion? You can make your point by saying that you don’t believe in it. One can say, I disagree with somebody’s view. But some people to prove their point...end up hating anybody who disagree with them. It is not possible to have same opinion on any subject. You disagree with people who are close to you. In life disagreement is taken in wrong context.Disagreement with respect is needed for your individuality.Every person have their understanding of different subjects in life. It doesn’t mean they are doing it to sound different. We all think differently and disagreement is part of it.That makes us unique. Why are we adamant on discouraging disagreement with respect? It can be done in such a way.....that it is not increasing animosity between people.Everyone can have their opinion. It should not be enforced on others. Diversity of opinion is needed to make sense of life in holistic manner.

Paradox of Beauty

Watching reflection of stones in water They look like colourful pebbles in water The beauty of these stones is unique As humans are unique in their own ways We appreciate beauty of animate objects Not beauty of people for who they are We try to change them to fit our criteria They end up losing their true self at times Why can’t we accept others for them? Isn’t it a paradox about human beings They know that all have imperfections But try to fit them in their mould or form

Making a World Better Place!

Individuals collectively joined together to form a world.It’s on us how to shape this world.We can make it better place for each other. Humans are supposed to be civilised....and show sensitivity towards other fellow human beings. Humans show concern for anybody who suffer in any way.They have a power to make this world more considerate by changing their mind set.Every human do certain things to protect them.What if you are violating other person right by saying that person is coming in my way.We need to find ways to make our world better.It can be done by becoming responsible and help each other grow into a better person.People who care for well being of all and will not discriminate anybody for any reason.If only we change our mind set towards world.It is not okay if we are not contributing in making our world a place....where humans feel secure in them and with others.We face same kind of problems?But end up making it hard for each other.By using the logic of tough love or in the ...

Practicality?

Staying in your safe heaven Keeps you away from chaos Know how to deal with others If it makes you a bad human We need to review ourselves We socialise to get better Person for ourselves and Other people but mostly It’s the other way around We are corrupting our Mind set by becoming  Bad person and calls Ourselves practical By using the logic of That’s how world works God has given us mind To become better human Not to become successful Only by stepping on others But to build each other up

Why Trust is Needed?

We are often told that you cannot trust anyone.Is it possible to trust yourself only? We need to trust people to deal with them in life.It is not possible...you need to have a certain level of trust on others. You cannot trust people blindly.....should be mindful of its consequences.Some people don’t give value to your trust even over small issues.It doesn’t have to be a big issue.You have to trust people in life.Sometimes it is abused....but without trust you cannot have good thought process.If you keep on suspecting people of their intentions.It will impact your personhood.You trust people sometimes...it cost you in form of deception from others.But we all have few people that can be trusted.These people value your trust and are rare.

Materialism in life

I hear a lot about the materialistic aspects of life. They are important but material needs are more important in life? I think..we tend to focus more on material dimensions of life. These are important in many respects. Having said...that why is it making us inhumane with each other? Isn’t it suppose to make us better person...or just care about our interests by becoming self centred. It is okay to ensure our well being. But If it is achieve at expense of you turning into a bad person. The material and spiritual aspects both matter....to have a contented life. When everything revolves around material dimensions of life.You lose contact with your spiritual needs as human being. You become more satisfied...when there is a balance between material and spiritual dimensions of our lives.

Food for Thought!

We all have to deal with our problems be it small or big. Instead of being considerate...we end up getting more impatient with each other. Nobody is denying...that we all have to face issues in life. If you will talk about any topic... at first place people will try to find flaws in it. The focus is on criticising person...who is saying it. It is ironic,we don’t want to talk on things...that we all face in some form. Moreover, some issues needs to be talked about over and over again. The purpose is to resolve these problems...to come up with way out to deal with them. We need to write on these things that are impacting us all. It is not for criticising particular group or people in general. There is nothing wrong with discussing different topics in a way...that it will help us make sense of life. We learn from others experience of life.

Obsession with Skin Whitening

I don’t get people’s obsession with whitening of their skin color. Your skin should be healthy and fresh in your natural tone. It’s a stereotype  people who have different skin tones are beautiful. Whiteness of skin is not more important than your personality. You need to have a good mind and heart. Whitening of skin will not make you successful and better person. Those who are born with different skin colours....should not be asked to change their skin colour to get societal acceptance. Having white skin tone should not be beauty criteria. Beauty is not linked to your skin color. We need to change this perception about beauty. It is not against those who have lighter skin tone. In our society it is practiced people with darker skin tones are discriminated...and ask to change it.

Love for fiction and Poetry!

Sometimes telling a story is much more easier than talking to people. You can say things with help of fictional characters....that may not be tolerated by people. It’s funny how people can take critical view over things in fiction....over in real life. If you tell something honestly...they will not like it. Because you are telling what they don’t want to hear— but it’s the truth. I think that is why writers write things in fiction and poetry. If they say those things in their conversations with people. They will not hear it or label you as protagonist. You become their villain for saying things that are there in real life. I guess they don’t want to accept it.

Soul Searching?

Soul searching is not something that is done in isolated place. It is a revision of your thought process. You start to review yourself by getting rid of bad habits. We all have certain habits. If you don’t correct them it will get in your way. It’s a realisation that you need to change few things in you. They are not big changes. Sometimes these changes are few adjustment in your personality. You connects things in your mind. To make sense of life in holistic way. In simple words it is change of perspective about life.

Meaning of Happiness!

Happiness comes from you. It is not dependent on people or circumstances. If you don’t want to be happy nobody can make you happy. It comes from within. When you are satisfied with...what you have and being thankful. There is no end to your wants. You have to tell yourself...what is needed for you? It requires effort on your part to be happy. You have to remind yourself....that you don’t need more things. It means having people and things that brings joy...instead of stress in you. When you celebrate small things in life. You need people for their presence not getting materialistic benefits from them. 

Owning Mistakes

Owning your mistakes is important for your growth. We all are imperfect in so many ways. When we accept it. It means you are willing to make amends. You can correct your behaviour by reviewing your actions. Moreover, it is important to own your mistakes...for realising that you did something wrong. It’s okay! We all do that but when you try to undo your mistakes. It should be acknowledged. When people don’t let you correct your mistakes. It discourage them not to own up....when they did something wrong.

Being Pragmatic!

Limiting your thoughts to restricted mind set creates problem. When you are unable to see things in pragmatic manner. It makes your vision small. If you want to have a big vision. You have to open your mind. You can accept new ideas...if you are receptive to different world views on everything. It help us to expand our vision on every aspect of life. If you don’t give a thought to different view points on life....you end up having a narrow mind set. When you have narrow mind set you cannot hear or accept what others had to say...who have different perceptions about life.
