Happy Independence Day

Some of us might not understand the actual meaning of independence
Yes It means “to be free”
But what does it mean to be free
Today we have the right to speak
Whether we hurt others by that or whether we heal them
We speak what we feel like speaking
Imagine a Life without that
Imagine a life whether every word you utter is monitored
Today we have the right to information
We are always curious to know a lot of things
Even a Kid writes to RTI these days
Imagine a life where you know nothing about anything
Neither the government ruling you nor the power around you
Today we have right against exploitation
We have the power to protect us
Though we might or might not use it
Imagine a life of slavery
Today we have the right to freedom
We can do what we want,
We can go wherever we want
Imagine a life without the right for anything
We were given all the rights
By a few people who spent their blood and sweat
Sacrificed their life, Endured a lot of suffering
Held on to Non Violence as a strongest weapon
And gifted us with this special Virtue
Lets Cherish this and hold on to it
Happy Independence Day

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend.

It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt me. They migh
