INSIDE OUT

Walking down the street, recalling my childhood memories how I actually used to enjoy the smallest things in life. As we grow older, we tend to lose interest .We usually ignore by saying, "Nah! I am too big to do those petty things" but that's our delusion! Cool breezes hitting against my face, my fingers stuck between my curly hair as tie a high pony with velvet rubber band. I slide my hands into my pocket of Denim jeans to check the time. It's 6:45 pm and I need to reach home by 8'o clock to see MKR Australia Grand Finale.
                              As, I keep walking I see a little girl across the fence inside the park collecting autumn leaves on the ground so she can make a pile and jump on it. An old lady walking along with her pet dog in the park starts yelling at the little girl "Oh! You little troublesome, look at the mess you've created .Just get out of here .Shoo...shoo.... The girl replies" Oh poor lady can't even enjoy the nature. I pity you!" and calls her friends so they could jump on that pile with her. As per the lady it’s just a mess but for the little kid, that's the way of enjoying life. I smiled at them because they have their own ways of looking at things.
                    Crossing the road, I see a boy and girl giggling and rushing into the grocery store. People looking at them, start gossiping "Look at those young tweaks, no manners at all. How could the girl be roaming with that guy after 7 pm. Shame on them!" After a few secs, the boy is waiting outside the store with two ice-creams in his hand, shouting "Sis! The ice cream’s melting. Come Fast!" I smile again and leave to catch my train. 
Waiting for my train, I find two friends meeting  after a long time, talking about their lives."Stella! It's been ages since I’ve met you. Last time I’ve seen you was at our school graduation. You’ve changed a lot, got married, got a baby and your bit husky too! Hey, hold on Marie, no-one’s married and this isn't my baby too. I m just babysitting as I am too bored at home."Oh, sorry babe it's just that it's been long time that I’ve seen you and your along with a baby, so it made me think in that way."                                                                 
                        Then, I started thinking ,"Woah! Perceptions everywhere".... Perception is just a clash of a mind and eye , the eye is believing what it sees and the mind is seeing what it believes.. As, I catch my train searching for the ticket inside my wallet. I find a quarter , as I take it out; it gave me an answer "Perception is like a two-sided coin, it’s up to us to flip to which side we wanna see." I chose mine , What about you?

Be Kind to your Mind!

As we are in the Mental Health Awareness month, it is really important to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Mental health depends on many factors such as handling situations, family imbalance, peer-competition, societal pressure, trust issues and etc. Research says the people in our lives and around us impact on our behaviour also. We meet a lot of people with different personalities. Some makes us happy, sad, angry while some make us feel guilty for what we are by pointing out flaws. Your tribe decides your vibe. So, who are your tribe? Let’s see the common types of people we come across in our lives.                The Socializer a.k.a Extrovert – these people always take initiatives, makes friends easily, always ready to help others and are party poopers. They are optimistic but little dominant in nature. These try to cheer you up when you are low. The Home Alone a.k.a Introvert – these people have very few fri...

The Quarantined Mind!

      Days passing by, we have no motive but to wait for the lock down to end. Today, we are talking that there used to be a time when we were rushing to work in the congested traffic, attending meetings, hanging out with friends, going out on weekends and prioritizing things has brought a new meaning for B.C i.e, Before Corona.                             Life is unpredictable – well yes, the perfect example of what we have been going through the past few days. Economic crisis, Recession in jobs, deaths, cancellation of travel is what we hear all day. Each one has a different story but today we all are part of one big story COVID-19 sharing the common emotion - quarantined between four walls, social – distancing and hoping for a tomorrow. What do we call this? World War 3? A Phase?   Or a Trauma?             Everyone’s doing their part and making the use o...

A gentle reminder..

  Dear you, How are you? Yes, I know you are not well. I know you are blank, confused, depressed and your heart and mind filled with void. Trust me, so do I. Can’t help to hold back my tears when thinking about the loved ones we’ve lost so far. I write this with deep grief and anguish that all we can do today is to stay calm, strong, pray and help as much as we can. We all started the new year with a positive note that yes, maybe the pandemic is near to the end.   Well, guess we celebrated too early. Despite several warnings we received around the globe, we chose to ignore it (Self-decision). It’s not late though, yes I mean it’s not too late though to still come back to the same place we were a year ago. Yes, it hurts to sit between the four pillars. Yes, it kills us to move away from our loved ones. Yes, we still can’t go back to our workplaces or our colleges. Yes, we have to resume our vacation plans we’ve made all these days. YES, YES YESS….. and YES, the pandemic has...
