From Pique to Peace


Hey lovely people

How are you all doing? Any news? No news? Well that does mean good news, because no news is good news *wink wink*

But these days, we have even stopped talking about bad news. Sometimes out of insecurity, other times out of the fear of being laughed at. In my case too, I would hide any bad happening in my life whenever I can, just for the (innocent) pleasure of snatching that victorious smirk, that flutters for a second, on the ill facades of "well wishers" when they get to know about your bad times.

Haha! Who needs paying for spiritual motivational classes (synonym - phony religious ashrams) after this. I already let out their trade secret - be the smug jerk, who though may be having a terrible break up or suffering a boring marriage, who might be in debt upto his eyes, or might be flunking all the college subjects, but would still rub the face of the world in dirt by telling them about his contentment and newfound bliss, new diet or regime at the motivational-rehab-jerk factory place (whatevs junkies).

But the point of this post is not teaching you how to fool people/haters. I'm sure you're already good at that. The motive for today is to root out those bad feelings from inside of you (Inner bliss yayy). Have you ever realized that most of the events that let us down and hold us back are of our own making? A new entry (read competition) at the workplace, friends getting married with a domino effect with you being still the loner, an impending exam giving you sleepless nights over what the result might be, or a friend not finding time to talk - have you ever wondered that most of these problems would vanish if you just stopped thinking about them? Yes, revolutionary but right. 4 times out of 5, the problems that we face in our life are of our own making. And the best way to find inner bliss is to stop listening to these voices of fear and insecurity inside your head.

Go live your life, stop spending each moment in fear of losing a war that doesn't even exist outside your head. Pull off a Patronus charm on all the life-sucking dementors and embrace that smile - if not for yourself, then just for the sake of haters, because it chars their hearts out.

Hugs to all friends, frenemies and enemies! Peace out.

They say that a Cancerian is the most homesick sun sign. What if a Cancerian is homeless and still feels homesick?

Delhi Through the Seasons

Good books I just dive into.  But better books I save for good occasions. Like this one, that I saved for my trip to the mountains. 🌸 'Delhi through the seasons' by Khushwant Singh 🌸 Having aptly been called the modern Barahmaaha, with a theme of nature, DTTS talks about the rotating wheel of seasons in Delhi and North India, in general. Having been written by the maestro Khushwant, based on his diary entries and his observations as a bird watcher (it was a surprise for me too to find another feather in his hat), it addresses one aspect that all other Barahmaaha treatises of the past chose to ignore - nature - flowers and birds and animals. I'm not an outdoorsy person per se, and my meagre knowledge of flowers and trees is something I've given up my hope on. But thanks to the divine illustrations by Suddhasattwa Basu, I felt as if I was sitting in Lodi Gardens while reading this one, surrounded by fragrance and chitterings.  🌸 So read this one to get to k...
