Inking the Empty Heart...

Work is worship. It is an important part of life that everyone does in order to succeed and gain stability in life. However, everyone's mode and process of working are different. Be it a child trying to fix his toys, a student trying to make an impression, or a person trying to outgrow in his workplace - everyone has to choose his/her own methods of working and dealing with the workload. These methods are broadly divided into 2 types - Hardwork and Smartwork. While hard work has been the core value of ancient Indian society that somehow holds its significance till today; smart work is a concept originating in the modern era with the development of science, technology, and many such instruments that have made human lives and their work easier. We have seen our grandmothers crushing the spices, kneading doughs, cooking with coal, etc. But now all this hard work is no more seen.  We have got grinders, ovens, grills, juicers, and every kind of ready-to-use spices to save time and hard

  "His poetry reflects her eyes His chamomile tea starts her day His arms soothe her soul And his smiles mark her way. His words make her swing His hands, caress her hair His purity throws away her pain And his heart mirrors that she's fair." I want this 'him' to be you. You're all that I could ever wish for.  Failing in love doesn't mean you stop loving. If I'd fail at convincing you this time and I'd give up for all the difficult months, I don't know if you'd call me back or even you'd text me the way you're doing now. But I know that the world would continue running and I would be beside some other man one day. This is universally acknowledged. And so are you going to be. You haven't failed in love, you know? Because you didn't run out of it. You stood for your love till the end, till she entirely vanished from your life. So you won the match!  And I'm doing the same. I'm not running out of the match. I am holding

Celebrate Lights, not Sound! Despite being writing and terming Diwali as the festival of lights, we are deeply engaged in turning the festival into a festival of sound. The festival's origin according to the Hindu mythology is the sheer joy and happiness that was expressed by the people of that time on the return of Lord Rama along with his wife, Sita after the victory over the demon - Ravana. Apart from the traditional belief, some modern communities take it just as a festival of lights that mark the victory of brightness (Positivity) over darkness (Negativity). Be that as it may, focusing on the title and yes, keeping the 'Pollution' thing aside, I'd like to put a very relevant question here.  "Are we really celebrating Diwali as a festival of lights?" Now, I am not doubtful of your answers. Because, clearly we see how we really are celebrating the festival. It is a clear concept that along with development, comes the negative side of the s

Writers' World The clock was striking two when I completed my writing last night. People are seen working late nights but writers actually work only at nights. May be because the ghosts of writing appear only at nights. Some writers are stuck with writing at early morning who are first wished good morning by the sun. No matter when the writers do hold their pen and flow their ideas onto paper, their job is really tough. You will find two types of writers - Full time writer who is engaged in writing whole day, and part time writer who does other job and writes as well. However, many people have a mentality that writers' work is too easy. They think writers just need to write and publish and earn money. Nevertheless, no work is ever easy and the job of a writer is entirely different from other jobs. If you work in a company under someone, it is so because your qualifications clearly say you are meant to be under someone. And if you think your work is so tough, how w

Following your Passion  Life without a passion for something is worthless. In the materialistic world of today, many have set their passion inside or even aside. They give stress on what we call "career" as if they can never pursue their passion as their careers. Well, career, job, money are just a part of life. However, running behind your passion and dreams is the art of life. When an intellectual speaks something, you must be feeling like he knows better than you. But that is the only time when  your mind compels you to think  'what if i had that extraordinary talent or knowledge which everyone doesn't have?' Isn't it?  Who doesn't have a job today? Even a beggar struggles to earn 500 a day. Most of the educated do earn. But how many do have passion regarding something? How many do you see to have occupied themselves for hours only to heighten their passion? How many have really made their passion their career? Above all, how many have struggl

Why ideas don't strike all the time? Well, this seems to be a very frequent yet witty question that why ideas don't strike all the time. Our brain is a fragile organ. It has the memory that is mostly temporary. And idea is something which arrives in two forms - one is when you think about something rapidly and creatively, second is it arises instantly out of nowhere. Thus, human minds are not really engaged in thinking something rapidly and creatively all the time as a result of which, ideas don't strike always. And instant ideas strike very less when your brain is really active and highly interested towards something. When your mind is attracted towards something, it tries to gather more possibilities and chances to do those things which it wants to. For example, if a man is interested in writing, then he gathers plots for his stories from anything and anywhere. That may be from some animated movie or a song or may be a newspaper article. This happens because his mind is
