The Twisted Right

The Twisted Right

" Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it” 

What is the definition of 'Right' ? - I have pondered over that for quite a while now and have come to understand that every person has their own customized version of being right or feeling right. There is no specific or general definition of what is right and what is wrong. At times, even the most wrong things and wrong doings are absolutely right for the person who is doing and feeling it. 

Faced with a million choices in our lifetime and a few everyday, we are expected to choose from the ones given to us. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it feels like you ll never be able to get through it. With the human body designed in a particular way with two major organs : the heart and the brain. Both being equally important to us but ironically, ones that work together in two separate ways makes it difficult to come to a conclusion. Choices made either depend on your heart's calling or your brain's order. There are very few decisions which are in complete sync of the both and where you are completely happy whole heartedly and with all your mind.  

Having faced with many such situations where I have needed a heart and mind to work together, I have personally chose to listen to both and come to a decision which is Right and Fruitful. Such situations are never easy and no one comes out alive in a happy manner. A part of you always remains onto the other side - the side which you did not choose. But as a rule of fact, when you do the right thing, it hurts everyone or affects everything less in the longer run. Ironically, emotions make us take a right decision only for that moment of time and the practical side of us takes a right decision for the rest of our lives. 

You can view it either way, depends on what you feel is Right! : ) 

Love Yourself

Love Yourself

When is the last time you actually did something solely for yourself without and incy bit of thought where you gave in to how people would think or how will your partner feel or is it right or questioned yourself ? 

It is absolutely normal to feel all of the above and if you are one born and brought up in a country like India, the thought of considering the impact of your personal decision on the society has always held more weight as compared to what you actually want to do ! 

I come across people who I know and some of whom are acquaintances, most of all who breathe in and breathe out decisions about their daily life on the basis of how others think and feel rather than how they themselves internalize it. It is a good thing as far as it doesn't harm a portion of your personal growth or hinders with your personal happiness.

On a personal front, I am the soft Indian girl too who gives a lot of consideration to many of my decisions and its impact on my family and friends. However, a boundary of my personal life lies within me which I do not let anyone enter or harm as it is the small little piece of meat that I own solely for myself.

People of all genders and ages are least content with how their life is spent and is on a constant urge of improving themselves or cribbing about how things can get better. How about spending a day with yourself and accepting yourself for the way you are and so is the society. Being happy in your own skin is an easy task and which everybody can possess, it just needs to be given thought an that extra push ! 

P.S - Love Yourself else No one else will.

The Changed Person

The Changed Person

Sincere and Genuine apologies to all my readers for being the procrastinating freak who took five odd months to sit down and write. 

The interesting thing to note is how much these five months have moved me to reflect, understand and realize how much things have changed and the amount to which I have grown. With the last post and the last me writing (in August 2013) - placed in UK as a student whose worldly pressures were different, outlook to every new day was vague and the persistent thoughts of returning to my motherland which was immensely overwhelming. 

Having moved back to India - my motherland, the place which I am closely attached in every possible manner, the happiness knew no bounds. The first few weeks had been hazy with the overflowing emotions of my closed ones and the warm smell of home. As time passed, when home wasn't my comfort zone anymore, when time came for me to fly away again to my most favorite city - Mumbai which has always given me so much happiness and equally a lot of pain is where I landed quietly. The streets welcomed me as they had always done, however with minor changes which proved big when people who I knew became a memory and the city appeared like a totally new brand place. How blessed I am to find shiny new elements in the city who come to make me believe that Mumbai takes away a lot but always gives you back something memorable in return. Fortunately having gained new pillars in the city, the place seems different, more encouraging, worthy and livelier than ever ! The thing to remember is that you get what you are worth, and I think I deserve better which I will get.

Reflecting back to last year, one of the toughest years till date - UK has been one of the best teachers, it gave me lot of love with a pinch of salt. When you let go of things and people, you loose a part of yourself that you had given them, but you definitely gain a new space inside you to welcome better things that you are worth of. It happened to me and it ll happen to you as well. 

P.S. - The only thing that heals best is Time ! : ) 

Cheers,
