Unwind Together

Being Human is not as complicated as is presumed. As a human we primarily have two tendencies, to rule or to be ruled, every other emotion is a byproduct of these basic needs. Just think about it. Every action we do, every step we take, hell every religion boils down to two simple thoughts, to rule or to be ruled. 200 years of slavery couldn’t change us, infact 5000 years of culture we boast about proved it even more that we as a society in every era have begged to be ruled by someone or something. Self-discipline is not our thing. We want to follow, we want to obey (wherever convenient) we want a Savior, who can take our woes and give us happiness in exchange for an offering of any kind. The Job used to be very risky in the previous era so Savior used to come once in a millennium. But now with added perks, Savior is working double shifts and is making multiple entries at a single point of time. What a blessed Age. Now the choice is in our hands to pick the savior of our liking. Didn’t

I am a Delhite. Born, Brought up, and Spoiled here in Delhi. Delhi -   The Mahanagari-  My city. My home, My love.  People across all walks of life come here in search of a happily ever after. With the hope that the " Mahanagri"  will fulfill their dreams, that the enchanted place will eat away their worries, fill their stomach, and ensure the future of their children. But Alas !! The Mahanagari somehow always fell short.  The burden of hopes and dreams becomes too much to bear.  Hopes & dreams - the heaviest words in the dictionary bigger than Everest deeper than ocean. We dream of a brighter future and hope for a better tomorrow, but in all these rosy-colored dreamlands we forget to take the ownership. We all have an idea of an ideal life, which we live as per the rules engraved in our souls since the very beginning. We try to live up to the expectations and hopes of our parents while parallelly managing our own dreams. We choose our life such that it doesn't contra

“Happiness should be the natural state of mind”, The Fountainhead Growing up we all had an idea of life we wanted. Offcourse, as we grew the idea evolved as per the circumstances and opportunities but there were always starry skies, world travel, lots of fun and more was on the agenda.  Then somewhere down the line life happened. We got busy with settling our lives, wrestling the surrounding, and making the best out of whatever we got. The journey was tough and exhausting and drained many of their wants and needs from life. The everyday struggle of survival becomes worse with happy faces on social media or when you see someone else living the life you imagined for yourself in the first place. It is a torture, I get it.  The idea of an adventurous life has a stronger pull then gravity itself. Think about it if someone will offer us a world tour all expenses paid no question asked no strings attached we would jump for it won't we? But if I say that it will be for you and you only and

Technology has revolutionized our world and has given the greatest gift to humankind - Freedom of Speech without any discrimination. The universe of virtual reality has given equal opportunity to everyone to talk about their wants and needs openly, all while praying in their hearts th at e veryone is listening. Virtual reality has given us virtual friends, virtual presence, virtual life & virtual VALIDATION.  In earlier days, for want of validation, we have always bowed to the norms of society. We had always thrived to run each other over in this never-ending race which we have been competing in from time immemorial. The classic “ achey bahu” or “achey bache” or  "achey bete" etc. , people have been killing each other (even themselves) on the altar and still haven’t got the story of sacrifice published on the front page. Ah!! what a tragedy. All goes down behind the walls of their own home and the world remains unaware. But this was the story of the past. Now we have the

NO!! NO!! NO!! not another half cooked half mushed relationship advice here. Ya I know the feeling of getting unsolicited half brain advice for the sake of advice and we definitely won’t drain our time like that here (for that we will go to social media sites:)). For now let’s talk about anger in relationships. Every relation, at certain point of time, reaches a stage where we get angry with each other for no apparent reason. Like for not putting plate in the sink, or not putting shoes out of the room or for forgetting something. This happens in all the relations be it Husband-Wife, Friends, Boyfriends-Girlfriends, Parents- Children etc. But what exactly is happening. Ya, I know the psychoanalysis will say that they are not spending enough time with each other and not paying attention to each other hence the situation , but that we all know, don’t we. Then where is the glitch? I think, when in time  forget to acknowledge that the other person with us has emotions which like a water bot
