#NaPoWriMo2023 : DAY 29

-


Zoom-in the little things!


Humans are trapped in the illusionary veil of pretentiousness.


Hey today’s your birthday, you must be very excited to celebrate…Oh nice, you lost weight, that must be an exhilarating experience…Congratulations on your daughter’s birth, you must be proud. 

These compliments seem like comments if you just brush off the accumulated dust from a person's perspective. One might not be fully prepared to become a father, he might not be financially capable of raising a child the same way he had imagined. One might be scared of celebrating birthdays because he/she might have lost someone very special on that specific day. One might not love himself/herself even after being considered in the fit community of society.


There are zillions of cases, where the reality always stuns the other side of spectators. And this is what I am afraid of. People don’t usually share their share of loneliness with others. The matter of shameful status comes to their mind, and eventually the feeling of sanity gets buried somewhere so deep, that even after ages of meditation can’t cure the wounds.

I have recently read a very intense thing in the book “Think like a Monk” that “We are all the lucky vacationers enjoying our stay in Hotel Earth”. Isn’t it fascinating to think like that while living each day? Instead of losing sanity, can’t we just think of ourselves, what we like and express the exact way to the world? If you try to tell others even 1% of what you feel, they will surely understand - not necessarily soon, but definitely they will. 


Life is short, live it. Don’t waste in hiding the true gift that the Almighty has given us. Explore it, share it, relive it.

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...
