Memory

One can’t ever escape curating fantasies, after reading fictional stuff. And I think, some memories just become a physical entity in our dreams, due to these very apt fictional characters we bond in real lives. Isn’t it a riveting story, where our memories are stored and organized on shelves, like archives of our incidents and places and people. Whatever we think or do the whole day, our brain places all pieces back to their respective shelves every night, timely.

Last night, my memory blocks were complaining to me. It seems like I am increasing their workload by making them perform the same task again and again, pulling the same book from my shelf, and doing post-mortem of emotions and resemblance with the present. 

I wonder, is it possible to relive the same feelings, through these crossheads? I generally wander through the floors of dark barren nerve cells and collect their subtlety, only to take a glimpse of the past. And it actually works. It actually heals the evergreen pain, one holds up for so long. It actually acts as a relieving-balm on the wounds and lets you slowly forget the intensity of your mental anguishes. 

So yes, if somebody asks me if God is everywhere, where do you think the pained hearts go, I would definitely convince them that there’s only one place and that is our dreams.

The importance of mentorship in the next generation’s lives

  There’s a famous book “Tuesday with Morrie” , written by Mitch Albom in which the character Morrie quotes “The most important thing I can say to you is, 'Teach.' You want to know what's wrong with the world? Ask yourself what's right with it. When you get the answer to that, go out and teach somebody.” This line made an outstanding mark on my beliefs, when I first read the book. Giving you a short glimpse, this is a heartwarming story of a dying professor imparting life lessons to his former student, showcasing the transformative power of mentorship and wisdom it can offer.  There are innumerable facts and real life examples where we can clearly see the importance of mentorship in any generation, whether it be the age of Chanakya’s authority or the digital era of Physics Wala, Khan Sir and many more . At every step of doubt, one looks forward to the resolution suggested by their mentor. And it’s not necessary that the guidance should be in academics only. Life is its...

  I don’t have any specific opinion on feminism. Neither do I like to differentiate anything that is beyond the reach of gender neutrality. But I know for a fact that women are the most powerful creatures on this planet. They have the power to create a new life, suffer with blood every month and balance the mundane life with utmost pride all the time. They not only bloom but also spread the fragrance around them. I am also surrounded with such a wonderful community of women, who always support me in my lows and cheer for me in my highs.  @Unicorn and @Authoropod have collaborated this time on the special occasion of Navratri, and I am so happy to contribute my flavor of colors in 9 different ways. I want to dedicate the essence of these shades to the strong women pillars of my life. Orange : Warmth and energy There’s no one more deserving than my grandmother and mother for this impregnable title. Both of them have always given me warmth so that I always feel secure. They pr...

Mithila Nagri

 There’s a common saying that the roots will never change, no matter how much surroundings try to change a person. Earlier I never understood this, as I always thought that we are bound to change ourselves according to the places we live. But after experiencing almost 3 decades, now I understand the value of “origin”. I feel so proud that I came from the land of Mithila, also known as Janakpurdham , an ancient cultural and religious hub located in the southern part of Nepal and the northern part of the Indian state of Bihar. I am sure, most of the people don’t even know about the various facts of Ramayana, that actually happened on this holy land. There are several facts, customs, folk songs and foods that I want to highlight today, which make me a member of true Mithila family, and I am so honored that I get to write my experiences here, taking reference from Mithila Nagri: In our families, we cherish folksongs and are sung on every festive occasions like Durga puja, Ramnavmi, Kal...
