Stop Talking

'Dont talk too much', is my mom's mantra for me everytime I start from home. Both of us know that it wont happen. I read an article which spoke about the importance of silence. And the article made me talk a lot. Not with my vocal chords but with my mind. It is true that my mind does not stop talking. Not even when I am sleeping. I closed my mouth for a few minutes and started listening to my inner voice. I was shocked. It started even before I woke up. Along with my alarm. It went on and on till I slept and stopped hearing it. It was shocking. If Only i could burn calories for my mind voice. I would be size zero in no time. The article spoke about attaining  inner peace and I never have given a ear to my voice. However tempting, the ten day session was something I could not afford. Thanks to the job commitments and family restrictions. I decided to start my own , silent therapy

I began to spend atleast 30 minutes in a day with me. I listened to me, my needs, my joy, my sorrow, my anger and my mumbling. We always ignore us. We always search for a hold in life. Sometimes the hold is from within. We tend to ignore or turn deaf to our inner calling and look for it elsewhere. This voice is our best critic. We intuitively know a lot of things. The voice is the best judge of lot of things around us. Sometimes it is drained in the noise around us. The answers we look for are hidden depth within us. Sometimes we do not hear it. Maybe because we need to listen more carefully or maybe  we are travelling in the right path. I am searching my answer within. I might not find it. Still Its feels good to listen. Stop Talking and Start Listening

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. ...
