Happily Ever After?

Every movie I watched ended with happily ever after. Every book I read ended in the same way. The story spoke in volumes about the struggle of the man and woman before marriage. But does happily ever after mean that they would like happily. Do they actually find happiness in the pursuit of life. Even if they find it, what do they lose in the process. Is the real before or after marriage. Everything pictured the struggle before marriage. Yes the perks and benefits are attractive. What about the real life? What is the perk in it. We strive hard to live a life, sometimes for the lie we have fought for. The reality is very different from the things we perceive it to be. Most of us do not have the courage to show our real face when we get into a relationship. Even if it happen, we tweak it along the way to make the relationship work. After a point of time, frustration sets in or the cast is broken. The better half does not actually like the real person. They imagine and perceive the other half based on their dreams and expectations. When this fails, the relationship fails.

Most times, we are not communicative in the relationships. We avoid problems as much as we can just to save the day or to stop problems from reoccurring. We lose our peace of mind and life in the process. Even when acceptance is the key, We opt for the try to change for you mode to make the relationship work. We end accepting the fate or try to break hurting both in the process. I always wondered the meaning of Happily Ever After? Are they really happy or does the world turn blind to their sorrows. Only time will tell

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. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
