Life is an Enigma!

 

Life has always been the biggest enigma for me which today aggravated my thoughts to jot down what I feel about the four words "life"!

Why it has started if it has to end one day? Yet I have never been able to find any rational reason behind it. In life no one is complacent; everyone struggling to any extent running after to get more than what they have. Happiness on one day and sorrows the next day. At the same time, some are celebrating their happiness while others sitting in a morose atmosphere around.

Every day we move a step closer towards the end of life with sweet as well as painful memories of the past! But never-ending dreams and expectations keep on increasing. Loving some a hell of a lot and hating and criticizing others. But why this love and hatred and for whom the dreams and expectations are?

Like anything life also never remains constant. Every time it brings some new ones to accompany us on our path of life. Why do we long for anything? A moment that passes once, never repeats, no matter what difference it makes in your life. We always compromise according to life rules but life will never compromise with us for our happiness but why?

All these words just start looming large in front of me making me very restive and these thoughts captivate me to accept the fact that this is only "LIFE"; Life rules and thus, Life is an enigma!!!

  A daughter is like a beautiful melody that brings harmony to a family. From the moment she is born, there is something special about the bond. It is a relationship woven with care, trust, and understanding. She is a reflection of her parents’ hopes, dreams, and fears, yet she forges her own path with strength and grace. As she grows, the challenges of the world begin to touch her, yet her resilience shines through. She learns, she stumbles, she rises again—each time with more courage, more wisdom. Watching a daughter navigate life’s complexities is a LESSON in itself! She teaches patience, compassion, and the beauty of seeing life through a heart that feels deeply.  For parents, there is nothing more bittersweet than watching their daughter spread her wings. She may fly far, chasing her own dreams, but her roots remain strong in the love she was raised with. Whether she is near or far, she carries pieces of her parents with her—the values, lessons, and love that shaped her into the r

Does gender-differentiation really calls for gender neutral parenting?

I was a kid though but always wondered why everyone's conversation and actions keep revolving around the son in the family. Once somebody gave me a bowl of four laddoos from my neighbor sharing the happiness that a son was born in their family. The other day we received another bowl but only two laddoos this time. After returning from school, I asked my mum why only two today if the reason is the same? She told me because today a girl is born in some house nearby. I was shocked as I haven't witnessed such behavior in my home even being brought up with an elder brother. This mindset of people pinched me somewhere inside and envying this I told my mum when my daughter will be born, please distribute 6 laddoos in each house. This may be a mere expression of gender differentiation whose roots are sown in our own homes only! 'Don't cry like a girl', 'Boys don't play with dolls and soft toys', 'Don't be loud else society will say the girl doesn't

Year 2020...deplorable yet second bite of the cherry!

  The 21st year of 21st century 2021 will come tomorrow! It is not coming alone but bringing along the new horizons in everyone's eyes! This new year is special because it's apparent that the topmost thing in everyone's new year wish list is only the COVID-19 vaccine. This COVID vaccine or its cure is something where the desire of a rich man meets with the poor. Yes, LIFE and DEATH is one thing which is the same to all and beautifully hides all the differences of mankind. The year 2020 now fading slowly and becoming invisible in the darkness of this night but it is stealing away the smiles of children, the dreams in the eyes, the sacrifices of many, the dear ones in families, the hopes of many people, the desires of teenagers, the love of elders and much more. This year brought us the deadly virus and loss of many life, loss in business, joblessness, confinement, and mental stress. But they say, not only this, it has given us a year to learn how to struggle, how important i
