From papers to persons #1 (Open letter)


 

"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 onto you, counting upon you not to hold my hand and make me your girl but to lend you a shoulder to think that second chances exist and that one wrong person can't make everyone else who cares for you; invaluable in your life. Every person holds a different value for you. Each is irreplaceable.

I've not been the one you've been mad after. But I'm definitely the one whom you could revert after a bad day. I've not been the one whom you badly desired, you loved like anything. But I've been the one whom you could trust and count upon whenever you needed a support system. Every individual has his and her own good sides. Look at them closely. What's gone can never come back again unless you want it to - maybe in different forms.

All I want for you is you to come out of the dark world back into the satisfying life and start living once again. Not for the sake of living but for loving and being loved back by the people around you. You are special to many and you just have to believe in that magic that I believe in. You've tried to adore me, but it didn't work out just right. That doesn't mean you would stop trying - be it me or anyone else around you. 

But for that, you need to gather up into your shape once again. Hold up your chin, my boy, for you're stronger than ever. And you will have to step into a different world being not a different person who has forgotten to love madly but the one who's starting to fall for real and who's gonna get mad for the right person in his life! 

Never let wrong people influence you to judge the right ones. Influence yourself for the better! To secure people's emotions and to accept love is divine. And loving them back with truth is bliss, though it doesn't always have to be reciprocated in the same manner. 

I'd rather say that I don't want that red shade of love which was once hers. I want to create mine. If hers was darker, I want to see you covered in another red that would be shinier for sure. And that makes all the difference!

Celebrate lights, not sound!

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...

Why ideas don't strike all the time?

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...

HARD WORK OR SMART WORK?

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 ...
