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.

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...

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...

Loneliness is a rewarding evil

The path, the journey and the destination The wind was cold enough to make my soul shrink somewhere deep in my personality. It had been days since I saw the signs of a human habitation close to me. I do not know if I did it right or wrong to go forth with this journey, but was amazed to possess a strange feeling of calmness inside, the kinds of which was never felt by me, when I was living my dream life. It was just another day in my fast pace life, when I realized my real purpose in life, was not to excel financially or in terms of success, but to find a path that enrich my soul. The matter has been talked in numerous ways and millions of times everywhere across the web. But I will make sure to add a footnote to this never ending debate. A dream gives us a purpose to live. And my dream was to stand strong with pride. I wanted my father to be proud of me when I achieve the stature of a highly paid professional in the management industry. He had set high standard...
