Welcome to a New World!!

There are songs on the cover page, getting all the attention and then there are few at the rare which very few people hear. We go with the glamour, glitz and the hype around and tend to ignore that song waiting silently at the rear. Once we explore them, sometimes that song becomes our favourite. Strange but at times true!

Whenever a show comes on Television exploring food there is an automatic restraint and an earthiness which brings sweetness to the taste bud. Food brings with it pleasure, friendship and warmth. It brings with it an absolute sense of gratification and somehow brings us down to earth and lets us enjoy the moment of delight. It’s amazing how food puts in the picture of various cultures across the world and brings in positivity which is rare. We are a big fan of food shows like Masterchef, Chakh le India and Highway on my plate, all of which brings positivity, happiness and takes us through the unexplored streets. Everyone wants Roti, Kapda aur Makan but Roti always comes first!                                                  ...

The only thing one hopes before sleeping is to get a sound sleep and to not wake up to the burning eyes, pressure to get ready in ten minutes, eat breakfast in five minutes or mostly skip it, run to catch the bus and wait for twenty minutes to move a mile in the horrific Bangalore traffic. I woke up today with the same feeling, only to realize in few minutes that it’s not a Monday! The feeling of winning after almost losing something is out of the world and for most the feeling of not waking up to a Monday morning is like castle in the hands of murky! So when one is working one feels that probably starting a business will keep us away from the weekly haunt of a Monday morning, although the truth is in a business everyday is a Monday. It’s funny but for most of us everything revolves around Monday. Monday can be the source of motivation to stay hungry and to stay foolish! I started to write to abuse Monday but in due course realized that it’s not Monday but the mindset ...

Y ou know some days become automatically amusing without any reason. Suddenly a splash of happiness breezes across you and gives a new zing in life. Today has been one of those days and I thought to bring it out through my friend, words! So like any Saturday I woke up really late. Had a sumptuous breakfast in Aloo Paratha and then started watching one of my favorite movies, Wake up Sid. Though I am already an MBA and have a good job, I can still relate to this movie as I am still not doing what I actually should be doing. To the outside world I might be all settled but in my mind I am not. The desire to do something extraordinary in the field of writing always splashes across my mind and heart. Unfortunately I have still not mustered courage to go all out for it. I guess we still have a lot of boundaries in our society of which I am a part of and I have made those boundaries too in my mind. I don’t know whether being controlled and being calculative in life actually helps but that is...

Atrocities, Rape, Murder, Terrorist attacks are no more a rarity. Scholars have spoken, introspection have been done before, mirrors have been broken but all in waste. Where are we going wrong?. Why is there no consensus in building right things and why do we desperately build upon bad things? Who will lead the sea of change? Why not me, why not you? Let’s start now. Let’s come together-Let’s look beyond. World has seen so many sporadic changes culturally, economically, and educationally. The literacy level has gone up, economy has improved, cross cultural interactions have increased but between all this our approach towards life has gone narrow and it is sad to see that it is sliding down even further. Materialism is more important and the ability to lie and escape without getting caught probably has more weightage in gauging a personality . Innocent people are killed in endless bomb blasts, racism is on a rise both inside and outside the country and death of human life is measure...

Talent or no talent, Beauty or no beauty, Intelligence or dumbness. Everything in this world comes with a price and a package. People who are smart enough to deal with their strengths and weaknesses are the real winners. Each and every individual has an enigmatic power to create a difference in the world around us. The real heroes are the one who are able to discover that one thing for which we are passionate about and work towards it. A lot of times a talented, a beautiful person or an intelligent person gets caught in the web of arrogance with their own pre-conceived thoughts and end up being lonely. Everything comes with a price but then the price can be sweet only when one is able to enjoy what comes to us with utmost modesty and honesty. The beauty of life can be enjoyed if the ride of happiness and sorrow is taken with our hands open.

Empty roads, Closed Coffee shops pooled with the sound of music speak a thousand words for many. The clandestine beauty of life might have blown away many and yet there are cynics who don’t understand it. The cherry will be ripped apart if the mystique nature of it is not enjoyed in its totality. Life is made up with so many moments and stories. Some are complete and there are some which last for few moments and are incomplete, yet they are the ones which remain afresh in ones mind with its surreal and mystique nature. There are times when your heart cries remembering them and at times it brings with it hope and an irresistible desire to do something extraordinary. The enigma for many is to how to rekindle that one small magic moment into eternity. People have this hope that world around us will be complete and the sunshine will be bestowed its lost beauty if the enigma is understood. But sometimes it is the journey that teaches things which are beyond and helps us to explore unknown t...

How many times our adrenaline has rushed when we have watched a really close encounter between India and Pakistan in a cricket match? Pretty often I guess. That is the time when most of us really connect to our country. The proud feeling of being an Indian touches our hearts and gives us goose bumps. The emotion and the passion entrusted in the cricket match bring in togetherness and unity. Well that’s the beauty of being passionate about your country. It brings in positivity and happiness. Passion can be anything from riding a bike to writing. It can be as surreal as collecting coins. But, the important thing is to understand it and to live with it. The day a person loses out on it is the time when life becomes colourless and mundane. There are times when you feel down and don’t want to wake up again. Those are the times when one should invest his or her energy on what they really want or wanted to do in life. The satisfaction out of it gives a new zest. It gives the courage to look b...
