THE IDEAL MARRIAGE

Image
As i continue to grow up, every moment, each hour, every day, each month and  every year, i have seen my perception of marriages changing from a unification of two souls to mere business transactions. Ok he is rich, perfect, marry him, he can feed me for the rest of my lives. Financial security is important but is it so important ?. I have seen relatives boasting about the rich amount of dowry they get, about the quantity of gold their daughter in law has brought from her house. Even i used to think, cool man, get married and be rich, life is set. You grow mature with age though and realize that life is just not about materialistic comforts, its sometimes much more than that, even the richest men and women have lived their life in misery and loneliness. Marriage has bought misery to many rather than happiness and the lives of many have been screwed. Companionship for name sake and loneliness for the rest of your lives along with a dose of mental abuse and sometimes physical as well

Life and three laws of motion

  Sometimes when life comes to a standstill and you are just ordering McDonald's and watching movies, Just break the loop and instead of ordering online, take a walk to McDonalds. Chances are high that choosing to walk will get you out of the rut. Because you will fulfill the 1st law of motion, Every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Once you get into motion, you need to grasp an idea to work on to fulfill the 2nd law of motion. Until you don't find something to work on, keep walking, keep moving, Either while moving or when you pause to take a rest, an idea or an interesting project would manifest itself. And once it does, you start working on it to fulfill the 2nd law of motion, The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts. And leave it to the universe to fulfill the 3rd law

Moments not love

Love in the Rain- A sketch on a dark window pane A friend of mine, I won’t call her a friend. Say, a Twitter acquaintance, we have been a part of a few online spaces and must have met at a mutual friend’s birthday party. That’s where we come to know, oh! we live nearby, around the corner around a km apart. But since there isn’t any sexual attraction or physical friction, both of us aren’t that excited about the whole thing.   But then days pass by and one odd day, around 10 pm, I get a text from her, hey, where are you? I am like, hey I am home! She says, would you like to meet right now, if you are busy we can do it some other day. Now, I am like I had an altogether different plan and there was this sudden urge to say no, as it was already 10, and without sexual friction in the equation, I didn’t want to sacrifice my Netflix and drinks plan.   But then the Covid-19 pandemic made me empathic like those two years were some horrible times. I remember crying buckets and seeing people die,

Freedom chained by goons

The zeal for freedom is oozing, The month of August has arrived, As freedom embraces me, I feel bound The hold is tight and I feel suffocated, And that's when reality hits me, I go spiralling down as the power of reality grips me, And that's when I realise Seventy-one years of Independence, Still chained by the goons of religious intolerance, Seventy-one years of Independence, Still chained by the goons of reservation, Seventy-one years of Independence, Still chained by the goons of sexual exploitation Seventy-one years of Independence, Still chained by the goons of Illiteracy, Seventy-one years of Independence. Still chained by the goons of corruption Seventy-one years of Independence, Still chained by the goons of censorship As world's largest democracy celebrated its independence, Irony had a hearty laugh, as our nation became a mobocracy

My Realization

I quit my job. Ran out of savings. Then took a low-paying job as a copywriter. I bootstrapped down and moved into my Dad’s tiny apartment. Without much space, we slept in the same room. During this time, I learned something beautiful. Success and happiness parallel how much value we create for others. Not how many books we read, podcasts we listen to, or YouTube videos we watch. The problem: I had no skills. I had no money. With few options, I began writing for many hours every day. To focus, I stopped… -Talking to friends who didn’t help me create value. -Opening my Facebook News Feed. -Paying attention to politics. -Watching T.V. and Netflix. -Going out to eat. First, I wrote on my blog. As I became a better writer, I contributed to publications. People began to recognize and respect my ability to create value. I left my low-pay copy writing job to work for a Facebook software company and moved out of my Dad’s apartment. I then took a job as the VP of marketing f

A BARGAIN FOR LIFE

No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. A great poet has correctly stated this universal truth through these lines:  "I bargained with Life for a penny,  And Life would pay no more,  However I begged at evening  When I counted my scanty store. . . "For Life is a.just employer, He gives you what you ask,  But once you have set the wages,  Why, you must bear the task.  . "I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed,  That any wage I had asked of Life,  Life would have willingly paid."
