Quarantine thoughts!

Every one of us evolves every minute based on what has happened around us, and how do we react to the happenings. It is said, that this rate of evolution decreases with age, ie kids evolve much faster than the adults, which is quite visible too in terms of physical evolution. But if we compare among the adults, the rate of this evolution or some people may call it maturing, is very different from person to person.  There are people who mature much faster than others, and then there are a few who mature overnight! Comparison is something that we can't help without, and especially for people like me, who always crave for data. Hence, i will take the privilege to compare this maturity level based on my experience and observations.  We can always classify people in following broad categories : a) Who learn just by reading about strangers (ie learn by the books) b) Who learn by observing the surroundings c) Who learn only on the job ie only once they commit a mistake they will lear...

Year 2020

It's been ages that i wrote something (except the last post which was for my dad on the occasion of his retirement, hence am not counting it as a real post). Sometimes, i wonder, why do i write rarely? Obviously don't have an answer to this. When someone else asks the same, i just make an excuse of writer's block or scarcity of time, or office work and other priorities. As always, my angel asked the same question, that made me come back here and pen down. I don't know why she asked, nor did i answer her question. Guess she already had an answer to this. As per her, i am transitioning into a black-box, or sand-box, where things/thoughts enter, but nothing comes out. Which is true to an extent. So what am doing these days? Am reading (have taken a challenge of reading at least 35 books this calendar year, however, could finish only14 until now) dedicating 120 minutes every week to learning (not the on the job thing) sleeping for 7-8 hours of the day/night - her...

Mere Papa

Mere papa, jinhe duniya mei log bahut se naamo se jaante hai koi pyaar se Rammu kehta hai to koi Atal ji to koi Gupta ji hamare liye woh sirf papa heen nahi, ek prerna hai, himmat hai, aur garv hai aaiye  aap sabka unse parichay karaate hai bachpan mei ek shikayat thi papa kabhi hamare kaam nahi karte, hamesha bolte jao aur khud karo tab bada bura lagta tha, kyunki baaki sabke papa b olte the, beta hum kar dete hai bahut baad mei samajh aaya woh hume zindagi ko khud se jeena seekha rahe the papa, jinhone kabhi hamare liye koi faisla nahi liya, hamesha ek heen baat boli, jo bhi karo sahi ya galat hamesha hume bata k karna, aur tum hamesha hame apne saath paoge mere papa, jinhe bina hame sulaye, bina amma ko sulaye neend nahi aati thi jo hame kabhi raat bhar kisi dost ke ghar nahi jaane dete the tab lagta tha ki kitne kathor  hai woh aaj samajh aaya ki woh hame rishte nibhaana seekha rahe the mere papa, jo shayad kabhi kisi ke yaha bina bulaye nahi gaye par jab...

Take a pause!

One of the most irritating things I have felt is when you are driving on an empty road, and suddenly you need to apply brakes and stop for a while. That's the moment we desperately want to get over! These days, we are at a similar place, everyone had their life going on its pace, and suddenly an invisible thing has brought the entire world to a standstill. Not just it has stopped the world, it has also inspired we humans to become humans again, feel human again, and nature has shown us our place. We always thought we are the best and the most advanced species in this world, and today, the tiniest of the creature has confined the entire humanity across the world. Till a few months back, we were busy planning our trips, and today all we do is plan our meals in the coming week or for some plan for the next meal. This tiniest of life has made us nothing in front of it. Today, we are like caged, and nature and animals are for sure laughing at us, for showing us our place. The speed...

Perfect evening by the sea shore

Woooaahh! This year, came on a girls trip (instead of a solo) and somewhere wanted it to get converted into a solo one! Thanks to people with me, it got converted into one. Got ample "me time" i was craving for, with the breeze on the sea side. Nothing beats that! It helps me get my thoughts through (at least it works for me). All i can say is, i got my poison, here in Thailand! No doubts, this is "The land of wonders".
