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.

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...
