Acceptance is bliss

Image
We often hear people saying, “Ignorance is bliss”, what I think is quite opposite though, which is “Acceptance is bliss”.  Knowing the truth and accepting it. The simplest and most difficult thing you can do is to accept it. Sometimes, it’s hard to be in a situation where we think not knowing the truth would keep up in a better place, safe, protected and secured. However, I think at the end of the day it’s more about knowing the truth and accept it. You don’t have to always control the so called situation, you really can’t, so you just let it be. Just like sometimes, people don’t need an answer or solution to their problems, but all they need is a listener who will give them their valuable time.  Easier said than done, we cannot change the past, neither the present, what we can do is change our perception. Instead of ignoring what we are feeling, we should rather introspect and know what we are actually feeling inside and work on it. Pretending being okay and unaffected from outside is

Make Our Country Proud

Image
Picture Credits: Shrey.photography  “I'm proud to be an Indian”, people say this twice a year: on Independence Day and Republic Day. Do you remember saying this on any other day? Or buying flags, posting patriotic pictures and quotes on a casual day? Well, No, I don’t think so. Anyway, let’s talk about today. So how do you celebrate Republic Day? Is it the same way you celebrate any other festival, like Holi or Diwali? If not, I’m not here to ask you or inspire you to celebrate it like other festivals. But, I’m here to engender optimism in you by enlightening you with the simple ways you can contribute to our nation every single day. Before that, I would like to bring your attention towards the things that are happening around us these days.  People like you and me construct a nation. If you are a regular reader, you must be aware of the issues we are going through. An issue could be of parking or traffic or inter-caste marriage or anything. But what happens next is B

Valentine's Special

Image
It was 6 in the morning, as she excitedly woke up. She ran to get ready as quietly as she could so that no one can hear any voice. She wore her favorite red attire as she collected some beautiful red roses. And she then silently moved out of the house. Picture Courtesy: Google Images She didn't know anything about Valentine's Day. All she knew was that on this day, she earns great profit by selling the same roses that are not sold very well every day. As the sun was drowning, she seemed to be even more enthusiastic. And finally the moment came for which she was waiting for long. She collected all her money and after counting all her days' earning for the third time, she went to a toy shop and bought a bat and a ball for her four year old brother. As she went home, her younger brother was eagerly waiting for her in the veranda of her house. He knew her sister will surely get something for him. And in a little time, as he saw his sister with a bat and ball in her han

I Wish...

Image
I wish I could be his priority, Whom he would choose before anyone else. I wish I could be the one , Whom he would have loved more than anyone . I wish I could be his dream , And he be chasing for me. I wish I could be the one , With whom he would have felt glad to spend time. I wish I could be his shadow , Who would understand him more than he do. I wish I could be his stand , So that he would have that support anytime. I wish I could be that person, Who would know him before him. I wish I could be the one, Who would make him smile when he goes down in life. I wish I could be the one , Who would have the power to make his day better than yesterday.

A Soldier's Life

Image
We often talk about all the things our country is lacking of , for example shelter for all , food and water for all , investments , development and much more. But we never talk about the things we are proud on . So here I would like to dedicate this post on SOLDIERS... A soldier is the one who fights as a part of an organised , land based armed force despite of which religion he belongs to , or for which religion he is fighting for. He fights for his country no matter which cast he is of or which god does he follows. But we the people of the same country follow this cast system till now. All of us know that every Mohammedan is not a terrorist but we have found that every terrorist is a Mohammedan. But we never thought that how many Mohammedans are in Indian Army or how many Hindus are in Pakistan Army.  The fact is we never thought it in this way. We always had a feeling of adversary and we always grew up listening partition story and developed a feeling of terror with those

My Top 30 Favorite Quotations

" A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business."....With this one let me start with my most favorite quotes below ,Also you can tell me yours in the comment section below. Inspirational Quotes : 1. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. 2. Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. 3.  Truth , purity , and unselfishness - whenever these      are present , there is no power below or above      the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped      with these , an individual is able to face the      whole universe in opposition. 4. When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. 5. You may say I'm a dreamer,

10- Must Read Books by less famous Indian Authors

Image
Books are magical. They transport us to another world at the expense of our time and weave stories that leave us awed, excited and at the edge of our seats.  Here are a few lesser known Indian authors whose novels you should add to your list of “books to read”:  1. Kamla Das Picture Courtesy: Google Images Not enough people know of this Indian poet and litterateur who has left a mark in the world of the written word. Her open, honest and unhesitant treatment of female sexuality is till date lauded by her readers. The sheer power of her words is enough to set you thinking.  2.  Shashi Deshpande Picture Courtesy: Google Images Shashi Deshpande  is a novelist and short story writer who has to her credit many short story collections, books for children and novels. She was honoured with the Sahitya Akademi Award for her book  That Long Silence . Some of her other laudable works include  The Dark Holds No Terror ,  Moving On  and  A Matter Of Time.
