TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR

   “Kabhi Kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek saza” penned down A.R. Rahman in “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na”  title track. This phrase was my anthem for 2020 but only one thing got me through the chaos, taking a look in the mirror. Praising myself in the mirror, remembering my achievements, gave me the much-needed push for the pandemic. Turns out, it’s not as easy as it sounds. When everything seems bleak and you have lost all your confidence, the only thing that helps you is your little treats of motivation. A simile, a "you look beautiful today", even though you look wrecked, or even a simple "hey". These messages make you realize that someone out there cares about you, you are valuable and loved. Still don’t get me? Remember when Zach Dempsey stole Hannah’s notes of encouragement? To Hannah, they were a major deal because she would rely on those notes for the hope her life has to offer her. Just like her, such notes mean something to someone and to you. So the next time you feel down in the dumps, always remember those little things people do for you and don’t forget to take a look in the mirror.

COUNT THE NUMBER OF…..

Image
  Count the number of people you have met in your life. Just count. Count the shopkeeper who always grins at you no matter how much you bargain and the count the ablaze neighbor who will do nothing but curse at you every time you ring their doorbell just to make some memories to laugh at. And now think of how much they have influenced you. Can’t think of an answer? Same! I never realized that every time I walk into my classroom, the 46 familiar faces shape my thinking process even though half of them never talked to me. Every minute action action or emotion can make you jealous, joyous, astonished or hollow. Take a quick glance back at life and you will realize that your personality is a cloth woven by a unique set of thread that is every face you have ever seen. So, sit back and ponder, why you are successful or alone or rude or content and how they contributed to your and changed you as a person.

A BLACK CHECK IN OUR EMOTIONAL CHESSBOARD

Image
 Anger, anxiety, disgust, fear, horror, envy are some of the black squares of our emotional chessboard. Among them, fear is the most enigmatic emotion I ever experienced.  American Psychological Association defines fear as " An emotion involving immediate alarm reaction that mobilizes the organism by triggering a set of physiological changes including rapid heartbeat, redirection of blood flow away from the periphery toward the gut, tensing of the muscles and general mobilization of the organism to take action." Let's change the direction of the kaleidoscope and see beyond logic. Fear is the sharpest weapon of our subconsciousness to make us see the worst in all and give up. Fear is the society of the 90s that will judge you, make you self-doubt yourself, and make you give up every unconventional dream you had. Fear is the overthinking demon inside you. But if trepidation is all up in our heads, then why does it keep us at night? We get so caught up in our own worst-case ...

WHAT MAKES ONE AN ONION?

Image
  An onion……a vegetable used regularly in almost every house to cook food. A shade of somewhat mixed purple, pink, white, yellow or may be more – black when rotten! It has many layers; you find a new one every time you cut a little deeper. Same are the people, people you meet every day, in every phase of life….so yes, what makes one an onion? What makes one an onion is more than fifty shades of their soul and the layers of masks they wear? You discover a new one every time you try to look into person’s heart a bit more closely. “There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.” You find many people having different attitudes towards different people at the same time. A person who you feel is very nice may seem to be the worst human being after you spend some days with him/her. Or you may discover a cruel person to be the most beautiful at heart. People who are always smiling and cheerful might be found to be the most heartbroken ...
