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

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...

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...

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. ...
