Quest for questions and a better life

I am a small town girl. The first time I moved into the city. I was overwhelmed by the size and the people. Every thing was new.  All I thought was big and interesting to me was not the same in the big bad world. It was bit scary and intimidating. My small joys were no longer a part of the city. It was also life's way to make a change.  It was different. I had three choices . Either to remain the small town girl who craves , yet does not know anything nor has much friends to educate. Be the big world chick, who has changed and lost her identity. Learned and accepted a lot of things just to be a part of the world. The last choice is what most of us choose is the worst of all. We pretend to know everything. We are too embarrassed to ask in the fear to be ridiculed by others.Even Google cant ask us. Because we dont ask the right questions . It gives us hundreds of question options, But never tells us the right questions. Our search ends and accept the reality that we might not understand the complications of this city. Of course, we understand a few things. But most of the things, remain a mystery. I belong to the club of those people who ordered an espresso, without knowing about it. And forced to bring a smile so that people would not know that we made a dumb choice. Androids, Bikes, Cars, Dances, Fashion, Make up, Dresses, Foods, Fun, Pubs, Parlour and the list is never ending. It actually makes my head reel. There is so much to learn and so much information and we dont even know the right questions. I have decided to stop pretending and start learning. I might or might not like the things I learn. Yet I want to find the right questions and start growing.

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...

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. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. 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. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
