Running Scared


The sea is one of the prettiest children of Mother Nature. Her vivacity at the boundries and calmness at her heart is what steals our hearts away.  Yet, there are those horrendous times when she loses her calmness to the anger and gets agitated. The whirlpools of this child suck in all the happy-go-luckiness in the air.
It’s weird; something about the sea reminds me of us. There is an uncanny resemblance that humans bear with her. We too have a heart that needs to retain its peace; the only difference being, we lose our serenity quite easily and frequently as opposed to the deep. The question is, why so? Why is it that nature would affect us more than she would affect the sea, we all are her children. Then the answer came flying, that the turbulence builds in our own hearts and heads; we just find someone to blame in the outside world.
I realize that it is easier said than done; especially considering the fact that I too have had those moments recently. But worrying didn’t give me the results, working towards them did. So give it a shot!

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,...
