Alive yet?




Lost in numbers, assets and objects

Trying to find futile excuses for living amongst these worldly acquisitions

Trying to find a confirmation of being alive



Forgetting

Vivid paintings that make us see, not just look

The passionate music that makes us listen, not just hear

The heartfelt poetry that makes us think, not just act

Dances, plays and orchestras

The wondrous art that truly makes us alive instead of simply breathing

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

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 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
