We, Around Us!

Love is an extraordinary emotion that has the power to transcend boundaries and transform lives. It can be found in the most unexpected places, permeating our relationships with partners, parents, siblings, and friends. However, the true essence of love lies in its ability to extend beyond personal connections and embrace the collective well-being of society. In this blog, we explore the concept of distributed love, emphasizing the importance of sharing love with the world around us. Love is not limited to romantic relationships alone; it exists in numerous forms and can be found in everyday interactions. A warm smile to a stranger, a kind word to a coworker, or a compassionate act of service to those in need—all these instances are manifestations of love. Recognizing and appreciating love's diverse expressions allows us to connect with the world in a more profound and meaningful way. To experience the full potential of love, it is vital to embrace a broad perspective that enco...

On 5th early morning...

The most problematic situation can be avoided by keeping silent. This silence, is not the failure to argue but it is our strength to bounce back with more knowledge about the subject. And this would sometimes lead us to the victory of the argument or at least a satisfaction that the relationship is maintained by not losing the temper at the very situation. Always, keeping silent to something is not an attitude of being lazy & Ignoring certain conversations are wise, as it gives a clear statement that the discussion is not of the person’s interest.   The Silence sends a clear warning to the person being ignored about his limits and also it definitely gives the ignoring person his rights.   As the Karma is a boomerang, Silence is also a cycle when the person will start searching for the reason for ignoring the other and the ignored gets a chance to correct himself.   Silence and Ignorance are just the same when someone is not in a good mood to accept the situation, when...

 I took a flight, on a Wednesday night, to see my sister’s wedding with my eyesight, I landed Kochi, on the Thursday bright, but dozed off loosing the Jet lag fight. I woke up in the evening, when my Mom brought Tea, and prayed for a wonderful weekend guarantee. Then came a news, like a Tsunami from the sea, “No Flights from Saturday to the UAE” My mother enquired, what I will like for the dinner, my head went like a spinner, I was upset from my inner, and waved bye at home till the next summer. Then I rushed to the airport like a child, got a ticket as God was kind. Friday morning, I reached Abu Dhabi, 'I will take you home’ promised my Cabbie But he dropped me until Jebal Ali, from there I was a Khali Bali. I took a metro, then a tram, then a bus to reach my address. Saturday I Quarantined, Sunday I pranked, Monday my emotions were unpacked. I was asked about the weekend I spent, I said, It was an expensive Tea, my Friend!  

I asked my Team head from UK to review a document with title ‘Upgradation of System’ He wrote me back the word ‘Upgradation’ itself is wrong and denied to review. I said it’s the title from a client in South Asian Country, we cannot change it. This was not the first time he was worried about these words, ‘Upgradation’& ‘Updation.’ I wanted to know what was wrong as I was using these words from childhood.  I came across a page: https://english.stackexchange.com where someone’s justification was humorous. He wrote: Quote It's an informal word created by informal English users who collectively influence large group of users/people. Most of these words originated from India (eg. upgradation, updation). Basically, it is used by English users (Indians) confidently thus influencing the other non-familiar English user that it is a formal word. With India's population these words had become common through the years. Nevertheless, these words are not formally acceptable to native Eng...

A man and a woman dated, loved and got married. For them everything seemed to be falling in place when they started their new life of togetherness. They wandered romantically. Spent exotic life. They just flew like free birds. But every bird has to make a nest to rest and settle down. They both too moved into their new nest, thinking of a happy life ahead. One thing they forgot to realize that soon they were going to be the strangers in their own house. They left no stone unturned to impress each other. Some issues were serious but were ignored for the sake of love. But all the ignored nasty stuffs came as a debating points for the young confused people. Where did it all start from? Both did have different ideas of life. As they grew up in different culture it was the first barrier. Then came the family and then the person themselves. It's really hard to move in with someone whom you don't know completely. Its even harder to adjust with the habits which you are never ...

When I think of childhood days, the first thing that comes to my mind is school prayers and assembly. We all lined up paralleled, keeping a hand distance, well disciplined, with pin drop silence and with only eye contact. Secondly, the indoor games we played with group of friends. Specifically, during the rains or summer afternoon, we were advised not to get out of house, so we played games like Ludo, Snakes & Ladders, Chess, Trumps, Business, etc. Even we cared about cleanliness after returning to the home from outdoor. And while completing the school we exchanged the slam books with our friends. Where we wrote how well we knew them and the memories we shared. Wonderful days wasn't it. We all wished life could have stopped there. We all wished to return to our childhood days which we spent being so disciplined!!! This Pandemic has brought the child within us out. We are getting back to a healthy and disciplined life. We are staying connected with friends even...

The fear in you is normal! It starts in you from your childhood days, when your mom told you about demons taking you away when you troubled to eat food. The fear of failure when you didn't study well for your exams. The fear of rejection in a job interview. The fear of performance for your appraisals. The fear of 'No' when you propose to your crush and the fear of saying 'Yes' when you were not ready. Growing up with the fear, your fear grows up too. Some fade away when you correctly know how to tackle them, but some stays haunted for a longer time. Fact is that the world runs with this fear and your fear is a way of making money for many. Best will come to you when you analyze your fear time to time, simply like maintenance check for your vehicle. Being disciplined and determined makes you strong. The recent spread of Corona Virus has erupted a new fear all over the world. We have started to keep every next step with fear. We have started becoming over-cautiou...

You fantasize about me from the day you learn about me, in an aim to own me one day. You will not know whether I can satisfy you or not but still you fall for me as it shall be important to you as your friends have it, or you would have seen it with someone and how happy they are with it. I have seen from the day one about the struggle you had finding me that would be opt for you. Your success after some failure to reach me. Your thirst to have me with you. The belief you kept on me. The sincerity to keep me safe and your adaptability to customize me according to your likes. When you achieved me, you were just not you, you had changed with the new me that was introduced to you.   Just to make you sure, you didn’t choose me for suit you. I chose you as I felt comfortable with you and I made you feel special in the society that you live which doesn’t cares of you when you turn around from it. I very well understand that I shall glow for only few days. My best days are ...

You are blessed when you get what you wished. You would float when there is someone to concern about you. You may giggle when someone tortured you with tons of joy. You feel shy when somehow you get their image You are indeed worried when you don't hear about them. You are happy to talk to them and even sorry to miss that chance if you didn't get. You are excited to start that day and are also reluctant it shall get over soon!!! You jump out of joy when you hear their voice. Your anxious till the time you meet them. Your eyes fail to blink when they are near you. Your heart skips a beat, when you know they too feel the same. You are in love for sure, when you feel this by yourself!!!

When you like someone, you blindly fall for them. No matter what the reason may be, your heart fails to listen what question your brain asks to it. You start lying to you when you play around going easy. Everything around you shall start to look perfectly well. Sun rises and sets, earth spins and this drama goes on and you lead this drama as you know your audience shall love and appreciate in any way you present them. Until the time you open your eyes, until the time you realize the truth rather accept it. Till the moment you realize you were in junk, till someone from your audience throws eggs on you, it would have been too late for you to realize you had a fantasy dream. Who erred? Who was wrong? It would be only you to held responsible for the mistakes of yours. You didn't  see the fact. You didn’t even accept the reality. You had not realized or understood the one who was trying to convince you, make you understand what he had felt. You took it light and for granted...

Some distant connections will tell you how long you have come.  The dream you had, the promises you made. You would have definitely burnt them into ashes but these connections would tell you, how precious they were for you.  That is the only time you realize, you have not given a full stop for your imaginations but have given them rest to grow further. Your aim is set when you scratched stories about it on your school bench. No matter how much twist you took in between, if that is your destiny then you would definitely reach for it.  The dreams you had were not the dreams which you dreamt about for your school essay competition but those were your virgin thoughts which shaped you for who you are today and if you know to sail them right with the wind then you would reach to your destination.  The only effort you make is to try for it. The only stress you bare is risk for it. The only pleasure you have is passion for it. The only pain you bare is the time for it. The...

We all come through the news or even some would have witnessed the incidents such as Elephants have trespassed residential areas or destroyed lands or agricultural areas or even killed human.   Have we ever thought what would be reason for these acts by these giant mammals?   I would like to share some information which I learnt in forest and some other research done through internet with you, which some would be even aware of.  According to many naturalists, elephant are the most innocent and intelligent animals in nature. They never harm others unless and until they are disturbed by their routine works. A research was conducted to know the reason behind the Elephants entering villages and nearby farms. The result of the study gave a shocking conclusion about the reaction of elephants.  It's said, Elephants have the best memorizing power. As per the act of Nature, animals can sense any adverse calamities which is going to happen before itself an...

I'm lost from the day I saw you, and yet to be found. My soul has been running out, and I know it's you around. My shadow is too absent as it's behind you. Let me get that back; with you. I miss the oxygen to breathe. Let me get that back; with you. I'm still lost from the day I saw you, and yet to be found. I need no food when I think of you, your name itself is a meat; I need no flame to burn a fire, as there is a spark when our eyes meet. If someone has to mention me I guess he does not fails to mention you either, If I live thinking about you, promise me you would not disappear. I'm again lost from the day I saw you, and yet to be found. Every minute is an year, if you are away from me. Evey year is a valuable minute if you are near to me. I ask no commitments from you but a lie that you love me, will make me live with hope; if indeed your love for me is true!. Once again, I'm lost from the day I saw you, and yet to be found. My...

'Hello. Do you hear me? Let me test you. 1,2,3! Hopefully I'm audible to all!' If this goes through then I'm alive. I was born in the 19th century. Two hunderd years after, in the present days I'm almost there everywhere. If you are the King or even the poorest citizen, people know about you only because of me. I'm definitely clear and trustworthy. Because what all I transmit becomes the history, becomes the voice you love or hate to hear. I have brought fame to people and have brought them down too because of their errors. I assure you I won't go wrong with what I listen.  Good to see you behind me, I have become your voice, that people want to hear about. Sometimes I am the reason behind what people chase even you didn't talk to me intentionally. So I warn you to be wise and nice with me.  I have seen confidence in you, most of the time you hold me right. If you shiver then I error. So be gentle. I'm your guardian when you go public; I...

No human purposely hurts other. Neither you can criticize someone's character without knowing them perfectly. You are definitely irritated when one starts to invade your personal space. They might have not expected anything other than your time and attention.  But will you tolerate the unwanted guests at unwanted situations?  If not, what shall you do if you are in a situation of seeking attention.  Think again. You are purposely not hurting anyone by neglecting them. But u should realize it would have only you who had advised the other person to approach you when they need you. You had given words without a second thought, and now you deny when the time has come.  Do not be different with different person. If you are so, then be the same throughout. We humans may forget and excuse, but when its your time that may ripe again.  No one is so free all the time to help you or knock your door seeking help. On contrary no one is so busy to neglect the pers...

I don’t remember a day, in my life, I missed your presence in the morning. The energy that you show to meet the world, starts my day with a kick. My day turns out well when you are happily out. Unbearably glowing you, I adieu you before I could blink. You are naughty sometimes. Tough in the winters, even you shy when I call you to new places. I forget my comfort matters you a lot, I try, somehow hold my breathe to see you walk out safely. I know you my pal, coffee makes you ease, so I neither take long. You gave my thoughts to spread, each time you delay. Might be it’s the same reason why I chose to write about you today. You are hot, when I spice up. You even cry, when I poisoned up. Apart from all your struggles, you must know, I feel hell and low when you don’t show up your regular shape. I do restrict your siblings when I’m with someone, I ask them to behave so that I do not get embarrassed. But you know, you all have your freedom to spread around in my loneliness, with hi...

Characters are always defined with their identification and repeated representation. A short or bald guy in our close circuit is always referred with his looks  which tends us to forget his real name and when we meet them after long time, we end up calling up with their nick names or the one by which we are used to. This is our nature which has come up with repeated representation of someone, that would be difficult to change.  What is the sin of the man who is short in height and the girl whose hair are brown? I don't like a song, but it didn't mean all disliked it. So wherever it was, whether a FM radio or a saloon it kept playing and unintentionally I had grasped it and after a certain extent I started humming them. Repeated representation. It manipulates our brain to make us believe the one which had never happened nor existed.  Best story tellers would make you a part of their story, before you realise it was a fantasy.  The title didn't have anything ...

Have you ever been criticized for the decisions you took and Did you regret for taking them?   Probabilities of being criticized would have a steep slope graph from Yes to always, but the regression of decision would always be varient. In regards with some planned things, the initial decision you took during that particular activity or consider during the purchase a product of your choice, was definitely your choice. You would have thought, planned, evaluated the consequences, way before you decided and finally would have executed or invested on them. Here there was zero chances of dilemma. When there is an intervention of a new person to estimate the result of your decision many a times you get manipulated and subsequently start questioning your own ability to decide. Neither its always good to be advised, nor you must completely agree with the conclusions. Always remember, whatever you are criticizing for, it was indeed your decision. You had wished to do so, so it ...

Everyone has a his unique way of living which he doesn't wants the other person to know or understand to share. He would be happy in his own company and the ingress of others would be treated as aliens who have entered their comfort zone. I had an european colleague, with whom i had lunch many times. While my plate was filled with rice n curry he had a salad or juice. I had offered him Indian food once, he apprehensively declined with a simple 'Thank You'. I never compelled him later as I knew he had his own way of habits which he didn't wish to change even in his diet. Some people do understand the need of space for others. The practice of Non Interventions is also a Yoga. Right from scheduling a meeting or to knocking one's room door, is a sign of good practice to avoid non intervention.  Not sure if to be applied for surprises...
