It is extremely disheartening learning about Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide. It came as a complete shock to us all. He not only left the world, but left something behind for each of us - a thought to ponder upon the mental health awareness in the nation. Money and fame doesn't mean the person is leading a happy peaceful life. A person undergoing a psycho therapy is automatically considered as a " crazy person". This brings shame to the person suffering. Do we even realize that there must be number of people who are scared to seek help just because they are afraid of being judged by the " sane people". We are all at fault. We as a society are responsible for making these people suffer more. The mentality needs to change. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc are NOT to be taken lightly. "Sleep over it. You'll feel fine in the morning" - is NOT the solution for it. Age, gender, profession, status, fame are  NOT  the parameters t...

It's almost end of the year. And as  I take a look back at it,  I realize  the importance of every tiniest of the thing that happened to me.  I have always believed that  " everything happens for a reason and at the perfect time " .  But during bad days ; I even wish I knew the reason and even wondered if there will ever be a perfect time.  It is said that one should forget  about the bad time, once it is done with. But I would like to add  words to it - "Forget about the bad time, once it is done with. But never forget what it taught you."  Not every day is a fairy tale nor is it a nightmare.  Just a different thought and experience.  Over the year, I was also fortunate to have beautiful (inside out) humans around me.   Blessed enough to have additions to the list of people who adore me, respect me for who I am.   And also thankful to the ones   who have stayed with me.     Towards the end o...

It's ironic how your lips don't touch when   you say "touch"; but they touch when you say "separate". Maybe that tells us that touch and separation isn't something which is strictly physical. Touch is a feeling. Touch is solace! When eyes make contact,souls get connected deeper into the roots.That's touch. When your heart wrenches on hearing a saddening thing, that's touch. When a mother gets happy tears for her child,that's touch.The invisible bond between souls keep us in "touch". Maybe separation is just not about  being apart. Separation can be defined as being physically apart but mentally connected. No matter how physically apart we grow,we are always connected to people through the memories . And that's touch even when physically separated. There are times when you wander off even in the company of someone.You feel the touch physically but you are disconnected emotionally.The bond no longer persist...

It's said that dog is man's best friend. A dog loves you more than he loves himself.He becomes a part of your world but to him you are the world. Dogs are to be taught how to behave.This is something that is universally accepted. But I beg to differ.I think there are tons of things that  man can learn from dogs. Loyalty ,selflessness,purity of heart,being genuine,loving and so goes the list. Inspite of all these great qualities that dogs possess,they are still used to describe humans who dont stand a chance to be slightest as good as dogs. "He is a dog.She is a bitch.Sala kutta aadmi hai yar wo" .These are some of the phrases that we hear or use everyday whenever a person does something disrespectful or something not so good. Irony!! Maybe we can all change our perspectives a little. - AS

She sat in the window,staring at the rose It was then that the time froze.The rose reminded her of the good times.But thorns gushed to her attention like a devil with  horns .The good times faded and bad memories took over.The slate was no more clean.The tears rolled down her cheeks.The time unfroze ,But her thoughts din't.Unbearable the pain became,Even the sky frowned upon her sadness.N so it cried too.The raindrops now settled on the rose making it fresh. Untangling her mind's mesh.N that's how the raindrops befriended her tears and thus evry time she cried the sky cried too and thats how the sound of raindrops soothes her. - AS Photo courtesy : https://google.com

Scrolling down facebook and instagram all I can see are the memes and trolls about how 2016 couldn't be more worse.These posts made be look back onto my 2016. To be honest it feels like I just blinked and *poof* 2016 is over.It started off with not so pleasant encounters with some people. Then life took a surprisingly enchanting turn.Things began to untangle themselves.Life started becoming easier.The happiness of getting placed,new home,new life and much more! They say good things happen in a blink of an eye.I suppose that's what my 2016  was for me- "A good thing".Some  Friends came even closer than they ever were,some left the side unexpectedly while some stayed unexpectedly. Everything happens for a good reason and losing the people I lost was all worth it. I knew people are full of surprises.2016 made me experience it.It taught me that people help you if conditions are right for them,it taught me that true friendship is not when you say it is; it's when...

The caliginous night fumbling with my thoughts messing with my mind. I wish I could be as serene as the night amidst all the chaos. The mind is one weird time traveller;taking you to past as well as future and missing out on your present.Some mysteries unravel,while some get super duper Mysterious. Then I realise,that my mind is to me what stars are to the night.Though there are times when I am claded with darkness,my mind shines through it gushing out, trying to console me. Maybe you don't always need some one to pacify you but it's only you who can pacify yourself.Maybe its amidst the chaos that the mind finds its peace.Maybe peace is someplace where you are at soltitude even when you are among the crowd. The night passes by yet again to emerge with the chaos in its serenity. - AS Photo courtesy : https://google.com
