Tak Tak

Tak Tak !! Bang bang sound in morning.

I am not sure how many of you might be familiar with it. But it was a sweet sound, which reminds me of a beautiful childhood of mine, a newspaper knocking on my balcony door, asking me to get up.  I still remember the black rubber band, with which newspaper was bundled up, was something we relish collecting :).
But somehow, all these things are slowly being missed, or lost in the polluted winds of Delhi air; Or may be extra advanced tech world , made us forget about the beautiful essence the paper of newspaper held within.

Why it all strike to me today, and the credits goes to my lovely daughter, who by her innocent action made me feel, what was lost long ago. From last four years, we have stopped taking newspapers, there are many reasons behind it, in hush hush life, we rarely have time to hold that newspaper and get acquainted with the world, we like to hold our androids or ios instead, and read it on a go. And frankly I find space crunch in keeping those newspapers, which just find there place under my cupboard, or some lunch boxes. But that day, by some mean newspaper reached our place, I tried to take benefit of it and turned some pages and left it there, than my daughter while playing, spread the newspaper and laid down on it, and acted as if she is reading it. It stunned me, may be she will never know the importance of that piece of paper, cause her childhood wont experience what we did. What was an important part of our lives, will just be a soulless paper for her.

I really don't know, whats right here, are we moving in certain direction, leaving behind the legacy which was colorful, even though the newspaper had only black-white pictures, or missing those small parts of life, making us forget the roots of our being. Things are changing so fast, sometimes its difficult to catch pace of time, but than why there is hurry, haven't we always seen, we cant get it all, and what, we always tend to forget is its important to Live than Thrive for the unknown wealth, which cant Strive to the fate we behold, time and time, again and again!!!


MOMO-2 

Are people losing hope in Life?

When on Monday morning we read another suicide of someone well educated or well settled being, it gives shivers. Life has become so uncertain for us, on one hand people are dying with diseases that are so dangerous but are spreading like common cold, and on same hand people,s who can still decide for their lives, are dying because life is being unfair to them, and not giving them what they want, be it worldly goods, or a good relationship or their own version of customized love.

Some might argue, it is STRESS, people are so stressed with their lives, no peace at work , and mayhem at homes, lead to a suicidal tendency. But I feel different, we have created lifestyle like this, we want everything or anything, a perfect home, a perfect lifestyle, because a friend in past, who is posting awesome pictures on Instagram, is having a blast in his life, which fascinates or depresses us to such level, that we feel distinguish. What doesn't cross our minds, everyone has their own share of worries, struggles, a picture perfect celluloid doesn't make anyone happier than us, and even if they really are, why cant we be oblivion of fact that life cannot be same for everyone, the disparity would exists.

I suggest if you cant still be happier, look at poor people, they still struggle more than us, and are happier, or look at people living in less facilities and still making ends work for them.
We need to realize that we are moving from life of luxury, to life of struggle, since natural resources are vanishing, money cannot really help us now, the best example of this Liquor Baron Vijay Mallya, we all felt his life is perfect, still he is stuck with the trickiest deal, I don't know if he really thought suicide can be easy way out.

I know sometimes we can be so much stressed, all these things wont come to our mind at a go, but I would suggest some therapy's which work for me:
1. Seeing some of good movies, like Anand or Chak de, it really works for me.
2. Going for long walk, even if you are in middle of something, leave everything and just go out and be with yourself, and feel the calmness,
3. Eating a chocolate does wonders, the darker the better.( I feel thats why children are less stressed :D)
4. Yoga could be good option.
5. Going to salon also looks good to me.

There can be your own version of customized stress reliever exercises, try to find what works best for you. And be at peace !!!

MOMO - 1

MOnday MOrning BLues

Every Monday, we raise our-self with new hopes and lows, And there are so many things running in our mind, We feel lets perfect our-self, this week with all the wrongs of last one, and be more dedicated and punctual. Either we are up and running, or still in hangover of weekend, in any case, we have to reach to our workplace late or early, be it kitchen for homemakers or office for bread-earners.

I am someone who gets new ideas on Monday, which fade away by end of week. So I thought of starting this new venture on my blog, MOnday MOrning BLues (MOMO) :P . A new idea , a new thought, something to ponder about.
