MIND it!

“Don’t change your mind now.”
This particular sentence is faced by all of us at some time or other, but is the human mind as simple as it is implied? The mind of a human being is just like a library full of books, books of varied emotions with full of complex pathways leading from one book to another, and we are the maze runner in this maze of emotions. Rage, happiness, confusion, disappointment, all are part of this library.



For a particular decision or result we go through a flood of emotions, but is it worth it? It’s quite funny that we mostly prefer temporary happiness even though we know the consequences of disappointment, frustration. The little bits of happiness in one’s life sums to make someone complete.

Disappointment equals self-realisation or self-reflection? In both the cases the effect becomes almost same. With these comes the feeling where you are shattered from within but fail to express it, want to cry but tears don’t come out, your heart becomes heavy, every breath feels like addition of a weight, hands and feet become cold, expectations come down shattering infront of you. You desperately scream within for it go away, eagerly wanting for a piece of happiness even if it’s temporary. That time even the temporary happiness feels like sunshine during winters.

We excel in pulling our masks, hide our real selves, our feelings. Behind the most beautiful smile lies the most painful stories. Maybe that’s how we are coping with life, isn’t it? Sharing reduces the sorrow for some, again some cope with it all by themselves masquerading as their dream-selves. Everyone’s got different ways to deal with the waves of emotions thrashing on them, some surf on them, some run away, some dive under, how much we dodge but sometimes we do have to fall on the shore unable to run from expectations, dreams, emotions, past, present, guilt, things we wish we had done. We humans really are fascinating creatures, we fascinate ourselves at every step of time. With our minds racing with time, buckled with so many things, yet dealing with all these incredibly.

Indian Constitution: the unfulfilled dream

 As we celebrated the ‘Constitution day’ on 26th November, bragging about being the world’s largest democracy, the question we failed to ask ourselves is whether we have truly lived up to the essence of our constitution. The Constituent Assembly of India had adopted the Constitution on this day in 1949, and the current government decided in 2015 to observe this day annually as the Constitution Day. Our Constitution declares India to be a “sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic and to secure to all its citizens justice, social, economic and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship; equality of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation”. Even though our constitution offers so much, the printed media has repeatedly pointed out the inability to uphold them. To quote Granville Austin from his book, Working a Democratic Constitution, the cons...

Expectation

Expectations. The world drives around that single word. An investor expects the market to return profits, a student expects good grades, Hollywood expects every Indian to greet with namaste , etc. All of us expect something from someone or something. Expectations are what keeps us going. People during the agricultural revolution did not expect to leave Earth, but now we expect that someday we will step on Mars.  The question is: Is expectation worth it? The answer is 'depends' on what you are expecting, whether it is within the jurisdiction of possibility or not. 'Possibility', this again has a relative definition. Now the question comes, how do we know whether it is possible? Well, that can be answered only by the questioner. We expect a lot of things, we get hurt but again we keep on expecting. The worthiness of expectations can be connoted  only when we are successful in achieving it.  I am not making any sense, am I? Well, scroll up! Let's see if I can tur...

IS INDIA SECULAR?

                After 69 years of independence, being in the 21st century we are not successful to promote secularism in India .                ( Ex-MP) and current chief minister of Uttar Pradesh - Yogi Adityanath's move to stop the working of 140 stand alone abattoirs and 9 integrated abattoir- cum- meat processing units(source : The Telegraph) has been welcomed by many Hindus all around our country. Adityanath's move was imposed on illegal slaughter houses who didn't follow the rules and regulations formed by the government. The owners failed to give a satisfiable alibi for not following the law which leads to the closure of these abattoirs.                  Many people are also pointing out the fact about the leather factories in Kanpur. Many factories ...
