Are We Ready To Give Back What We Have Snatched


Is this World War 3? Nature has waged a war against the human race. Well, why not? We - Humans, the supreme beings (or so we thought) stopped considering any other living species equivalent to us. We burnt their houses, captured their homes, shoved them away from their own habitat, killed them for fun and 'experientials'. All this, while not knowing that they may have the power to get back at us. It seems, now they have, all of them got together and sought help from the Mother Nature, against us. And guess what, she agreed to help them.

As a result, we humans are now pushed back to the confined gates of our houses, trapped within four walls, with our mouths shut beneath masks.

It is a war, and this time not amongst countries, or with terrorists, but the nature against us. But come on, do we ever learn. This is not the first, one of the scariest, but certainly not the first. We were given many hints earlier in the forms of floods, flu, epidemics, famine, earthquake, etc. But did we mend our ways?

No! We continued our comfortable way of living, putting other species to inconvenience and at risk. Now, look at what has happened! They are reclaiming their own lost space, again, that we snatched away from them.

Like every war, this will end too. With many casualties but this too will come to an end. Yes, after all this is over, we will still get a chance to decide, how much we have learned and are willing to implement.

So, will we be ready to co-exist - share the planet with other species, the rightful owners, as much as we are?  Are we ready to give back to them, what we have taken away?

Draupadi - Action Prevails Emotions

The woman of Kaliyuga…. before the Kaliyuga descended One of the few very clear memories I still have of my childhood is when my mother was feeding me lunch and we were happily chatting about Mahabharata. While talking, I said ‘when I grow up, I want to become Draupadi’. She yelled at me ‘ pagal ho gayi ho kya?, kuch bhi bak bak karti ho. Khana khao chup chap ’. I was taken aback by her sudden anger. Barely 7-8 years of age, I didn’t quite understand the reason for her annoyance, then. Today, after decades I certainly do. Indeed, I do understand, why a mother wouldn’t want her daughter to become Draupadi or even get closer to what she suffered. All said and done, she was the heroine of the one of the only two greatest epics of the country’s history – Mahabharata.

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

From ‘ASL Pls’ To Emoji’s

I don’t get tired; no really, I do not get tired or bored at all narrating our story to anyone. Infact every new person I meet, I try to grab this opportunity to talk about us – You and I!   And I surprise myself when I realise that I still remember it all so well. Every single detail of 4 years of friendship, 4 years of long-distance relationship, and 7 years of being married. Well, can’t really say that about the last 7 years :P, but the first 8 years are like embedded in my DNA. Pic clicked by Sudipto Roy I think our story is unique. It’s beautiful. Just 15 years old but so much has changed in this one and half-decade. Or not much?
