Money Honey!

Have you ever done anything without expecting anything in return? If yes, then I should say that you are blessed! There are not many people who do something without expecting anything in return. Money has become the prime source of making people avoid generosity. There are very few generous people left in this world. If somebody does not pay you money for your work, that work is considered as a waste of time. I am sure whoever has done some work for free for somebody else; they would have experienced a strange kind of satisfaction and happiness. I am not saying that people should stop going on job or stop asking salary for that. Nope, not at all! Believe me, I am not Mother Teresa. Though I wish I could be like her. The heart she had was amazing. People don’t love their family, relatives let alone the strangers. Mother Teresa didn’t just give love to the strangers but accepted them as they were. Anyways, I wouldn’t do my job if they did not give me money. I am just saying that fe...

Truth Behind Lies

Is honesty really the best policy? I don’t think so. And it is certainly not true if the truth is bitter. There are some truths which are better hidden than revealed. There are certain truths which are better kept in mind than saying it aloud. Your life is what you make it. And if you want it to be beautiful and filled with positivity you need to keep out the negativity. Keeping out the negativity does not mean ignoring it. You can’t ignore the dark part of life. Keeping out the negativity means acknowledging the dark part and keeping it inside you. I don’t know why but somehow I think saying the bitter truth aloud makes it look more real. It is not that I am running away, it’s just that I am downplaying it. The dark part is to be dealt with all by myself I don’t think saying it aloud will help me in anyway. Why should I give something to someone that is not theirs? When you reply ‘I am great’ to ‘how are you?’ it makes you look good and makes you somehow feel good even if you are not ...

Breaking Rules

Few days back, I had my third semester exams and I had to travel alone to my examination centre. Moreover, I had to travel by train to reach my examination centre. My exam was going to start at 2pm. When I reached at the railway station, it was already 12.30pm. Surprisingly, the entire platform was crowded. It was like everybody had decided to travel with me in the same train like I am some kind of celebrity. Anyways, the truth behind the crowd struck me when I saw the indicator. It showed 10.35 ST. The trains were late by almost 2 hours. How come the trains want to be late when I want it to be on time? I wanted to do my eleventh hour revision after reaching my examination centre. But with the crowd I was surrounded there, it did not seem like I would even reach there on time to give my exams. I had no option but to wait for the 10.35am train. The 10.35 train did come after 10mins but the only problem was; it was so crowded that by the time the train left, only few were able to get ou...

Sleeping Rights

Yesterday night, I was finding it too difficult to sleep. I wanted to sleep, it was already 1.30am but I could not sleep. I ended up shifting in my bed all night long. I don’t know why I wasn’t feeling sleepy. It’s weird but when others want me to be awake I want to sleep and when the nature gives me time to sleep, when no one is bothering me, I don’t know where my sleep runs away. While lying awake all night long, I realized how important is to feel sleepy when you want to sleep. It’s like people who can sleep without any efforts have a blessing that they themselves are not aware of. And as the night kept progressing I gave my mind the liberty to wander aimlessly. And not to my surprise, my mind came up with a mind blowing idea. My mind said how great it would be if you could get sleep on fixed times only. Like from night 10 to morning 8. When the clock struck 10 you will sleep then and there. It’s like you know in sleeping beauty fable where the whole city sleeps except that here we ...

Some Things Unsaid

It was early morning. Rays had arrived before sun, as usual. And as usual, I was late for my office. I kissed my mom good-bye and waved her hastily. Oh God, I am once again late; please get me an auto outside my building’s gate itself…. Please, please, please!! This is my usual morning prayer that I recite in mind while going down stairs. My office bus comes at 7.26am to my bus stop. I hurriedly glanced at my watch. It was already 7.22am. Shucks!! God, send me an auto, pleaassseee!! I had to get to the bus stop within 4mins. And I had to get an auto immediately. I found useless to stand there and wait for an auto to come… I started walking fast towards my bus stop. I should not take it granted that God will always help me!! Why doesn’t He help you when you need him the most??? I know it’s a small thing to miss a bus...But if He wants He could send me an auto now and I can reach there within no time… If I miss my bus today I have to go to Bus depot to catch that crowded BEST bus --The...

Abstract Dream

It was dark. I was running through darkness. I had to get out of it. I was running with no map in my hand and no particular direction. I felt like I was running in circles. The darkness was haunting me. I had to leave this place as soon as possible. I cannot stand it. I had never seen such deep darkness. I had never been in total darkness for that long. I was praying for a ray of light. Just one light ray. I kept running as I didn’t want to give up. My lungs were begging me for air. My legs were asking me to stop. My throat was drier than the Sahara dessert. I had no idea whether I will ever be able to find light. I knew just one thing if I stop then there will be no hope to get the light. It would mean I have given up. But I was not ready to give up. I refused to die in darkness. I had to find light. I must. Suddenly, I felt like there was no earth beneath me. But still, I was running. I felt weightless. I didn’t know this much running would lead me to weightlessness. I wondered how m...

Destiny Pluto

My geography ma'am taught me there are in all 9 planets in our Solar System starting from Mercury and going till Pluto (I know there are theories which says Pluto is not a planet, but I would like to go with what I had learnt in school [:-p]). And do you have slightest idea that which planet fascinates me the most?? Its none other than PLUTO!! I know you would say how dumb!! But I have a big crazzy mind and its weird but my mind has its own mind!! It will never run as I want it to.. It runs in its own direction and dimension which is still unknown to me. Anyways, so Pluto is by far my favorite planet. You ask whyy??... Let me tell you the most interesting thing I found about it in form of a simple equation : Earth's 288 yrs = Pluto's 1 yr!!! See, I told you I have a crazzzy mind!!! But can you just imagine if we were to born on Pluto, we would have died within a year since human life doesnot go beyond 110 yrs. And since we would die within a year, people would not bother t...
