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...

The Japanaese Renaissance

Whenever we think of Japan, we think of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Second World War had left Japan completely devastated, depleted of its teeming potential and resources. After 74 years, Japan has metamorphosed into a world power, flaunting its suave in multilateral fields.With t he excitement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics all around and shops ready with official merchandise, Japan is pushing the accelerator on full throttle to showcase their best.  My recent visit to Japan was worthwhile, a revelation in itself. The rapid development of Japan never fails to awestruck anyone. The main shifting point was during the Meiji dynasty - during which Japan faced a huge technological, political, and educational influx from the western nations and broke out of their isolated cocoon. Since then, Japan has no turning back. The disciplined traditional nature of the people along with their quality education have contributed a lot to this development. Recently, the Japan government has decide...

The re-organised Kashmir

The Kashmir crisis goes way back to our independence. With the partition, Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir was in a dilemma whether to join India or Pakistan. After the Afghans backed by the Pakistan army unethically attacked on Kashmir, Hari Singh approached Nehru for help, thus, joining Kashmir to the Indian territory. It was this which paved the way for article 373 and 35(A). Article 370 and 35(A) provides the state of Jammu & Kashmir a host of special rights. These special rights are frequently debated. Until recently, both the articles were scrapped with a majority sweep for the notion from the BJP led government. The chaos in Kashmir - both internal and external, was prevailing for a long time. Everyone needed a solution to this issue. Strict precautions were taken by the authorities to prevent any opposition - Internet connectivity was snapped, eminent figures like Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah, were put to house arrest, the number of armed forces was increased, article 144...
