Soul Symphony

Hey there, been a while that I could write something, writer's block maybe ...Or maybe just lazying around trying to write an article that makes me look super cool . So today I finally gave in, and wrote what abstractly came into my mind. Maybe it won't be perfectly framed, but I am sure while reading it you can resonate with my thinking . Yes coming back to my thoughts on this saying,  : "Actions speak louder than words" Well have heard this proverb since childhood. But does this really hold true for our age? The way I see it I am not really sure . Millennials ideally have lost the patience to stop and build relationships at face value. As the generation that grew up with communication becoming  via a digital revolution, our biggest strength of being connected has also became our biggest weakness. We can easily write down wonderful words on timelines, but fail to sincerely compliment our friends in person.  We literally are growing up ...

Are yaar tu kitna sochti hai …. Familiar line right? I have been a receiver of this line like a zillion times. Well yes, sometimes we do happen to screw up our peace of mind by just sulking over a certain situation and then presuming outcome or regretting that we could have done it some other way.    In both the situations --it’s futile! Neither we can time travel and change things nor can we predict any outcome by our thoughts alone. There is no good in over thinking . Well true, and as individuals we all realize this too. But can we really stop ourselves from ruminating? Honestly, that would hold a No for me. If I have to spill a secret here, I’d say there was a time when I was engrossed in the vicious cycle of ruminating or over thinking as the people around me were calling it. I had zoned out , started losing out on the people around me for some vivid situations in my head, my relationships were getting affected, my mood used to be for a swing always: High...

It’s that time of the year again. Well that time, when your Facebook is filled with the lovely marriage and honeymoon pictures of your friends. It’s really vibrant, a culmination of the shades of reds and pinks and a bountiful of “awwwww’s”, under the pictures. This has become more so as the years go by, as you realize people you once played house-house ( desi kids playing ghar ghar in the 90’s ) are actually settling down in their own Ghar’s. While you may feel happy, sulk or just unworthy of your lonely single confused self, you also secretly take learnings for your wedding, which probably might not happen anytime soon. But still, what’s the harm in dreaming anyways!! Well some like me, start analyzing their life. Finishing more than a quarter of life, it’s hard to believe how many times we thought of a “forever” with someone, and now that person’s face probably is as vague as your kinder garden memories. And if you are not that lucky, maybe you still remember him, fondly or f...

Well hello there, hope you all are doing great and enjoying the lovely heat wave around. Work had kept me on my toes, and it really blocked me from collating my thoughts and writing it down. Was a power packed stressful tenure.  Amidst all this hustle one day while sipping my tea, on a hot Sunday afternoon, I couldn’t help but deliberate as to “ Why ” or rather “ What ” am I stressing over? T he thing is the quarter life crisis is something we all are very familiar with, some of our peers are getting married, some getting into their dream jobs, some pursuing masters, double masters or doctorates and we??? Well for me I just scroll Facebook and sulk at their achievement. More than sulking at their achievement, it is this empty unaccomplished feeling that kills me. It fells that I am  just wasting on this life. ( Not really , but you know   Grass always seems greener on the other side ). Then I think more and realize how time has changed.  ...

It’s been almost a month after which I am posting here. I did write a few things some arbitrary musings on some random days, but nothing could qualify for publishing. Maybe because, I wanted to publish the best of me here, motherly instinct you know, after all this blog is nothing ,but a little baby to me. So Today is Mother’s day! Well yes the day where Facebook and Whatsapp will be clouded with pictures of mothers, of a majority of your contact list! There's undeniably nothing wrong in it. After all,this is the Net generation’s way of expressing love. We might absolutely forget to wish in person, but we will spend some good 1 or 2 hours in finding a perfect picture to post and even a perfect quote to go with it, to express our boundless love for our creator-our MOTHERS. Well to start, the word “ Mother ” is in itself an emotion.   All the sentiments one can feel are in this word.   Boundless love, care, sacrifice, compromise, household chores or even angry rants , t...

“Is she mad, why cry over a guy who hurt her, she can move on get many guys, this is not the end of the world…?” This was what I had asked all of the readers while sharing the story of Angel. Angel, the girl’s story, that had hurt me and you alike. Since she had poured her heart out with me; all I could ever think was: Why is she still crying over the person who was no good for her? She is young and beautiful; why is she still withering over him? Time will heal everything! Why is she crying for someone who doesn’t even deserve her? While I was struggling to find these answers and dealing with unsettling thoughts in my mind, I actually realized she is no different from us. Whether we are 16 or 30, we all have once in our life dealt with this demolishing, wrecking, scorched, apathetic feeling called---BREAK-UP!!! Every other day I could spot her surrounded by her friends, she would hear one or the other endless post breakup clichés and random words of wisdo...
