Me and my thoughts

The printer whined in the corner Papers piled up in the tray I hastily grabbed the papers and rushed to my paper The machine was hot to touch Probably angry about the overwork hours I did not give it a second thought As I hastily skimmed through the papers The mistakes seemed bigger than before I refilled the papers and began correcting the mistakes Ironically about ecological balance As I struggled to add more value it The message stuck me hard Why would I cause so damage as well as advocate about it I might never be able to undo the damage Every tree in the universe has a role And the role is not always to be draft paper It definitely has a bigger part in the ecosystem Think twice before wasting it

The word relativity reminds us of Newton to most of us who have been attentive to the Physics Class in High School. The example of hot stove and girl was the classic example of relativity. However, we never considered our life to a massive game of relativity. Subconsciously, we compare ourselves to others in moments of mistrust and fear. We wish for the blessings of others as a solution to our problems. We fail to understand ourselves as unique beings in those times. We just want and hope for the things we don't have and ignore the blessings right under our nose. Every small element and action in our life is part of a larger elaborate plan which might make no sense now. Some people never relate the meaning, but it does not necessarily mean they are not blessed. The only thought which keeps me going in the time of distress is that the supreme power does not feed us more we can chew and swallow. The food can be overwhelming and tasteless at times, but it is the need of the hour, and...

Ego technically means establishing a person's sense of self-esteem and self-importance. Ego is stated as the most common reason for fights in relationships, both professional and personal. I had heard this word more than once, even at times when I have tried to express my thoughts in the humblest way known to me. Still, the societal patriarchy has contributed to this view, and there is not a lot that can be done about it. However, since people keep blaming each other and claiming the second position in the emotion, Who has the most significant ego? Sometimes, even communicating or emphasising a thought/message can sound as Ego to the listener. It can initiate the wrong reaction or pave the way for a rift in the relationship. Nevertheless, we never back down from a perceived threat or contest, and the war begins. Sometimes, ego is adorable and sweet. It depends on the way we accept things. For instance, a baby demands attention and does not endure anything else. They wail, whine an...

Our world revolves around us most of the time. That does not mean we do not care about the people around us. Our care and affection come back to our likes and dislikes. There is not a lot of difference between a selfish and a sensitive person. Both of them act on their ideologies and thoughts, and their actions ultimately make them happy. But we do categorise them based on their impact on the surrounding. Is it right to define a person by their actions? Is asking for exhibit personal whims and fancies a colossal mistake? What defines right and wrong? Unfortunately, the line between right and wrong is too blurry and wavy. The meaning differs with context and continent. Some days, I feel insensitive and self-centred, and the only emotion that I could feel is pain and disappointment. The anger destroys me, and I fight to retain my humanity. The remaining days, I feel guilty for my thoughts. As a human and as a member of the social ecosystem, I am expected to follow specific protocols and...

Most of us love fantasy. Even the few who claim to hate fantasy secretly hope for it. We pray for the impossible and ultimately settle for reality. As a child, we believed in fairy tales and superheroes. We wished to be our favourite character and even replicated an action or two. The older we became, the wiser we claimed to be. However practical we might be, we just cannot let go of few things. Let's say Prince Charming or the fair princess for instance. The first expectation of our partners had a profound influence on these characters. In our defence, we did settle for more practical options later in life. Nevertheless, we do fantasise about a miracle in times of need or distress. We prayed and prayed till it was answered or till we accepted the reality. Religions have a different outlook on the entire concept. Most people believe in God or a power/force beyond our understanding to be our Prince Charming and rescue from the dragon. In this case, problems we face every day of our...

Every year brings its kind of blessings and experiences This year is a clean slate for me A frightening and exciting clean slate Some days I am brimming with confidence Some days my faith takes a deep down dive This is quite a big step for me Despite the insecurities cruising through me However, a voice urges me to move on To write my own faith To create my glorified history I might fail But I would have fought it hard My hope will guide me And the experience would be worth it Praying for the best 2018 is my clean slate And I plan to make most of it
