There are a lot of things
I want to write about,
love being one of them.
But I restrict myself to
my fields of interest-
teaching and research,
Life Science, Psychology,
Philosophy & Spirituality.
Some are my own experiences
and the others simply
being my observations,
the rest is all my imagination.

There's no point in making assumptions about the person who is no more in this world. In case you know them personally and are close to your heart, you feel you should know about them, and how they would react if they were alive. This is your feeling that you still find yourself attached to them, which isn't a bad thing though. But the question is, what if your mind keeps going back to the situation where you can't control yourself from making assumptions and imagining their reaction? Is it because some things are not under our control? No, it is too much attachment that is killing you from the inside. It will take time but you have to set yourself free.

Life is being lived when you start working on your strengths. It's synonymous with living in the present. You will realize there's a pause in your thoughts when you stop being proactive and avoid working on your strengths for so long. Ideas just come and go. You feel as if you've lost the synchronicity you had in your thoughts. You start becoming insecure in every little thing you do.

Sometimes I used to keep on speaking
and you were there, listening;
giving me fulfilment,
my words weren't going in vain.

And the other times, just the opposite.
I, being a listener
to all your secrets you were sharing.
All your random thoughts you were penning,
for I, being a reader.

बेहद खोखलापन सा महसूस होता है ख़ुद में ही,
जब केवल लिखते ही हैं, अमल नहीं करते।।

Where are we headed to?

At times, we just can't figure out what to do with our lives anymore. Maybe when we expect a lot from life and unfortunately we get nothing out of it, we start feeling the burden we've been carrying on our backs for so long. We just wish to run away from our everyday duties and intentionally escape situations that don't seem to be in our favour. We could have learned a lot instead, but we chose to remain enclosed in our cosy comfort zone. We feel we are headed to a place where everything would work according to our way, a life full of leisure, with no worries at all. When in reality, we're headed to nowhere except for developing a
tendency to escape. Running away from our everyday duties, our unavoidable responsibilities somewhere giving us a sort of immense relief that we're whispering to ourselves, "finally I'm saved".

"That is also a kind of insecurity I guess
when you deliberately avoid reading stuff about depression because you suffered from it once.
& a mere reading of it makes you insecure about yourself."
