Holi: Is it absolutely needed to celebrate?

Holi Hai!! Holi!! Holi!!! Happy Holi… Bura naa Maano Holi hai…Rang Barse… Balam Pichkari….

And a lot many more. A thousand phrases to celebrate the joy of the festival of colors seem to have overpowered everyone. The day is impending, and I know, each and every one would be out there to paint another one, with colors pink, blue and green. Each and every one seem to enjoy this festival which symbolically represents the importance of colors in our lives. We instigate the fact in our lives that colors are essential to paint the canvas called life. Similarly, on higher levels, if we think, we will find that each feeling which we feel, is representative of some or the other color. Some are bright and warm, while others are dull and cold.

But what if someone is an addict to just dull sides of life. Even if he is pushed in a bright and lively world, he feels the pressure to be attracted back to the darker confines of his/her personality. Here, it is not his/her fault. It is just the fault of the world, who is never ready to accept that not everyone in this world can be the same as you. No one can enjoy a day like you. It is completely fine if someone do not like some festival, you do not need to question his/her mental stability. It is just a matter of choice and liking. And in life too, not the whole population is meant to be happy and not everyone likes being happy for long. I know it is human tendency to hope for happiness, but some are meant to take stress and stay dull even when everything is in their favor. This is because they are meant to be so. The world is a complex maze of personalities, who differ from each other in many respect, and the world or nature do not questions someone, or do not snatch the right to live from him.

So, why do people tend to question and make someone feel inferior when he/she do not enjoy happiness more than gloom. Why someone is questioned when his likes and dislikes do not match the majority? Why do people tend to make others feel smaller, who do not like socializing with others.

The world is meant to accommodate diversity and variety. It is high time for us all to understand that too and learn to respect everyone, irrespective of his/her nature, likes, dislikes and orientations. If someone do not want to get wet and soaked in colors, its fine. Make him feel comfortable. Make him feel alive. Have you ever seen the nature pestering one species because it looks ugly or frugal than others? Same should be the case with human beings too.

To work as per my passion and not profession:

The greatest fear of anyone around us, is of being not able to grab a respectable position in this society. As it was said in a famous movie that if we do not score good marks, we will not be able to grab a good grad college, and if there is not a good grad college with good marks, there would be no placement, no placement means no job, no job means no salary and no salary means no marriage. This means our society at large, is moving just to prove themselves on just a single front, i.e. to prove that they are worth marrying?? Or for that case, to grab a job which pays them handsomely. Is it the only thing left in our lives, to get money and family and get settled? What about our own aspirations? Each one of us, during our development stage, begin to develop some hobbies, some passions which we feel connected to. Some are too mainstream and some might even not be known to anyone accept us. If we stick to one of our passion, we develop a skill related to it. It may be singing,...

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...
