ENCROACHERS


No matter where you run, there is always a niche of people around you who tend to first encroach upon your own space and world and later on, engulf it. I know for fact the glumness radiating from my words but sometimes, the truth is better than any consolation. Speaking by experience, one which I don’t exactly relish, you can’t avoid the weeds.
Aggravation, irritation, resentment- all that we feel are really strong and inexpressible by words. The sense of being trapped and having chains bound to ankles is worse than being stabbed. The pain in the eyes yet the inability to cry, the bleeding wound in the heart yet the speechlessness making it impossible to wail only make it worse.
Terrified by the scenario? Now imagine the life other than this; completely carefree and independent, the permission to fly high and kiss the sky, the aptitude to spread your wings and enjoy the mystic nature. Only light encircling you and the rain drops coming down only to touch you can truly make your day. Beautiful, isn’t it?
What life of the above two would you prefer? I’m guessing the second option. No one can willingly make themselves go through the vindictiveness of imprisonment; then why do we give to others? Even though not human, the little bird sitting silently in the cage hanging from your ceiling also feels, somewhat similar to life #1. There is sadness and anguish in the song it sings, frustration in the fluttering of wings and anger in the beating of the cage. See it with the eyes of your own feelings and you too will know what I mean.
Don’t do something to another being what you wouldn’t pick for your family. Don’t encroach their world. Go ahead and set that bird free.

There is music in every beat of the heart
There is life in every stone of earth
You just need the ears to listen the feelings
You just need the eyes to see the mystic

The Unknown weather

Last night, as I was going through some random web browsing and basking in the intellect of other people's knowledge, I heard them again, the raindrops, they were bashing against the earth, as if charging towards the ground with all their might, but losing their will to fight right before the final blow. If you have seen those couples fight which have just entered a relationship, you will realize that they build up a lot of anger in themselves a lot of times, but by the time it all comes out, they understand that they can't afford to lose the person in front of them, Just as they are about to get into a massive fight, one of them will calm down as the other will stand in front with a calm face. Although this time, I think the earth has had quite a few such fights with the rains. It's already October, they need to get their crap together. We are all set to wait for some winter already. I am not normally a winter loving person, but the continuous rains don't help mu...

KEEP THAT COOL

Storming through the windy desserts, dodging the sand dunes that try to engulf me into the sandy darkness, fighting every second- the urge to give into the mirages that fiddle with whatever is left of my sanity, I constantly tread forward with mincing steps towards the wet sands of the beach. Confused? Don’t be. Although this was just a part of my dream, it applies so much more to our constant struggle to live. There isn’t one person, who doesn’t look up to the sun, with legs buried in sand - knee-deep and eyebrows showering the eyelids with salt water, making them heavier every passing moment. Some of us kneel down and let the scorching problems evaporate every drop of life in us; some on the other hand, gather themselves up with all possible strength and march towards their personal paradise. Believe me, I’m no different, sometimes I manage to reach the mountains and beaches, sometimes I do fail, but I have learned from all the desserts that heat outside is ineffective if you ar...

Worker Bees

Worker Bees They say, statistics never lie; so, I have decided to fall back on them. As per a random website that I landed on with the help of Google, 77,000 jobs were created in India in 2016. Yet, we are still struggling with low employment rate, the sword of lay-offs over our head, and the fear of losing the rat-race (since everyone calls it that, although even I am part of it and nowhere close to winning it). Another side of the coin is that India saw the rise of start-ups with immense acceleration in 2016. It has been reported that in 2016, there were 19000 start-ups in India. The number of active investors in India has doubled. The growth was so astounding that the government had to acknowledge it and create a separate entity called ‘Startup India’. It may seem that the general paradigm in India is shifting from looking for jobs to creating them; but, we are still creating jobs with the start-ups and people are happy with start-ups more because of this factor,...
