Ctrl + Alt+ Del


Last week, I had my speaking skills assessment. My English teacher asked me “ how would you feel if one day all the books disappeared from the world ?” I was a bit confused but then I replied “Mam, it would be a terrible moment.”

Afterwards I wondered why I said that, why I felt terrible for such a situation, why a sensation of fear occurred inside me?

I started to replace ‘books’ with other things I love – paints, diaries, fountain pens, music and I must say it was the worst day of my life.

I had a disturbed night, full of fear, nightmares and visions of everything I love going ‘poof’!

But after my mind got stable, a question came to my mind- why do we fear things?

All of us fear something- maybe being abandoned, losing faith or trust, or failing.

What we call nightmares are basically what our brain thinks that scares us most.

This fear is our weakness. There are some moments when we wish to be fearless but “ being fearless isn't the point. That's impossible, it’s learning to control your fears and be free from it.”

We have to learn to fly free in life like wind. But we shouldn't wish that we didn't fear anything because “ We fear things because we value them. We fear losing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don't wish you didn't fear anything, all that would mean is that you don't feel anything..........”

So, in order to value of feelings as well as overcome our fears, we must learn the shortcut- Ctrl+Alt+Del (control your mind, alter your thoughts, delete negativity)

    Very well written Khushi. Amazing expression and important insight into the inherent fear, which is prevalent in all of us. Enjoyed reading it. I believe we all have fears -- some conscious and some unconscious. We must learn to control them.

Seeing Life through a Pizza

I am sure that most of us have either eaten or seen a pizza.  Try imagining one! A pizza base - loaded with cheese inside and over it; the toppings - red tomatoes, green capsicum, white onions, black olives, green jalapeno, golden corns and red paprika and so on.  All these different coloured and different flavoured toppings are spread on top of the same cheese without discrimination again their colour or taste. Just like this, all people of the world in spite of their colour or characteristics are nowadays immersed in the risk of same enemy - Coronavirus. The pizza base is the world with corona (just like cheese) spread all over and we, the diverse people of the world, are the various multi-coloured and multi-flavoured toppings.  This little virus has caused over 315 thousand deaths all over the world. It is currently the boss of the world. All people fear one name that is CORONA. It is true that it is a disaster but looking from a positive perspective, it h

A Rainbow in humans

A week ago, everyone was ecstatic in Delhi-NCR because of a rare sight. Social media was filled with photos of a rainbow that appeared after heavy rainfall and a storm. It motivated  people to continue and endure through the dark times. The seven colours had together formed a perfect curve and an amazing view that had brought smiles to everyone’s face! These colours in a way represent an emotion or characteristic of humans. Violet – a symbol of imagination and dreams; Indigo - a symbol of devotion and wisdom; Blue - a sign of confidence and stability; Green – representing harmony and peace; Yellow - signifies happiness and positivity; Orange - reflects creativity and enthusiasm whereas Red is the colour of sacrifice and love. These characteristics together sound very moral and so is the person who holds them. A person who possesses all these qualities is like a rainbow.  He will always be pleased with himself, succeed in making others happy, and will be a rare pe

A line of diyas

During Diwali season, a girl and her family had bought different types of sweets. All of them were wearing brand new clothes and decorating their house. They had decorated the entrance to their house with rangolis and flowers. When it was time to light the diyas (earthen lamps) and candles, the girl’s mother told her to light a match and light the candles. She was a little girl and so she did not know how to light a match; but she wanted to keep her mother happy and thus keeping the festive spirit in her mind she could not refuse this task. Then she ran towards the balcony and quickly assembled the diyas in a line and prayed to god saying “Oh God, I am really sorry that I do not know how to light the diyas for your welcome. These are five diyas – One is for my grandmother; I pray that you give her the best living experience for her remaining years for life. The second one is for my grandfather; I pray that he too enjoys his remaining years in the company of such a grea
