Breathing in the era of pollution




In this era, when we experience pollution at peak levels, many of us wonder, how we are able to breathe in such an environment. If we look at the readings of harmful substances in the environment around us, we are shocked to find out how harmful it is for us to breathe. But, do we ever stop breathing? Do we ever do something that can bring about a change in these levels. Almost 90% of people are known to worry about such a situation but I am sure that not even 9% do something to bring about a change.
Similarly, as the physical environment around us is at great pressure due to human intervention, our inner peace is also disturbed at large. This is because the modern lifestyle is known to give a lot of reasons to worry to an individual. People, due to work pressures or due to reasons out of there control, tend to worry at large. This causes depletion of their happiness and their soul, slowly. And this is what I call inner pollution. The phenomenon of polluting one’s peace due to the modern lifestyle and worrying at large, is what I call soul pollution. Just as physical contamination of harmful substances in the environment can cause serious damage to our physical being, mental stress leads to destruction of happiness in our lives. Just like we do not stop breathing in case of pollution, we should make sure we do not lose our calm in moments of apprehension. Just like we do not stop breathing in excess pollution, we should make sure to keep our composure in moments that come before us to test us in lives.

Do not ignore your worries, do not run away from responsibilities, but try to remain in a state, which do not narrow your perspective towards a thing or world, but broadens it. A wide perspective is possible only if you have a clean soul, far from tensions, apprehensions and worries. These will never leave you in the modern era, you have to start living in a way, that enhance your capacity to fight, struggle and defeat them. Just as pollution damages body, worries damage our soul. Feel calm, stay happy and live life, do not just spend your days in surviving, cherish your moments because they would never come back.

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

The Natural Sadist

Throughout our lives, we run past many people. Some are good, some bad; some take our heart away, and some etch indelible marks on our soul. Some help us through this material journey, some become obstacles. But everyone out there surely come across such people in their lives who have no particular aim for the future. The person appears as if he has no work to do on his own self. He/she always irritates us, makes our life hell, and appears as if deriving pleasure from our troubled state. We feel as if the person had just taken birth on this planet to make others regret their births. The pains a sadist gives to others is nothing more than the punishments given in hell. He makes us regret every decision we take. He/she may be anyone in your life. An unsatisfied boss, a clingy distant family member, a person we used to recognize as a friend, a revengeful enemy or just another stranger who seems to make life hard for you. Who is a sadist?  A sadist it seems have cruel inte...

Think before you act, your act affects others, do consider this fact…

“This is my life!! Do not try to interfere”…. Pallav shouted hard at Meera, hard enough to shake the very soul of her. She had always been the most affectionate and caring personality in Pallav’s life right from his childhood. She had been a friend, companion, a support system and his soul mate. She had seen worse times of his life and made sure he never broke off during the darkened phases of life. She had cared for him as a mother, listened to his apprehensions like a sister, supported him as a wife, and stood by her through the test of time. Their relationship was the one where the weight to push forward the relationship and future were only on the delicate shoulders of Meera. Every single night she would cry hard thinking about her destiny that her future held. It was not that she was unhappy about her relationship. But, she too deserved care; she yearned for love; she wanted affection from the one whom she considers her life. She had always been a pillar that supported...
