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!!!

Are we gender biased when we always expect male member or fathers to be the first in the 'responsibility list'?

The word 'man' or 'father' sounds so heavy that it automatically builds up  an image of a person who should be the most responsible member of the family especially living in the patriarchal society of our country.   Do they have a choice? No, a man doesn't have choices. In most of the families around, a woman may choose not to work or be bound to do so but a man has to go out to arrange for the daily bread and butter. Whatever position they may be holding in their job, from a clerk to a CEO, they learn to lead, manage and create a balance! They make sure that not only the needs but the wishes of the family members are fulfilled at every point in time. T o bring smiles to your faces, they buy the best for you and cut short their desires. No, money is not the reason for cutting but it's their concern to give it away first to you. They think about fulfilling your wish list first and keep their own at the end. They are ok to wear that same shirt again to...

Women-strong,fierce and free!

S he was already happy and complete, just the way she was. She knew how to fight her own battles, make her own choices and love herself the way she wanted.And anyone who wanted to win her heart? They didn’t need to bring a sword, armor or glorious words..they just needed to be real and accepting. In her story, she was the HERO…and that’s exactly how she planned to keep it.She stopped hoping for a knight in shining armor and started looking for her sword. She didn’t need to be saved, rescued or fixed.She wanted to quit and give up many times...but that wasn’t who she was or ever would be. Her strength and courage was forged in those same fires that ever affected her.She would keep living life fully, loving her people passionately and rising high like she was meant to do ...and in the journey she became strong, fierce and free...in the end, that’s what mattered most!

Happy Father's Day!

  Father....the quiet strength when the world feels too loud, the tired eyes that still smile when you walk into the room, the hands that built dreams while silently hiding their own. His love; he may not show but it's in the way he holds back his tears so you can be strong. It’s in the long hours, the missed meals, the quiet sacrifices you never saw ; because he never wanted you to! You may think he is emotionally strong but he feels everything.... Your pain becomes his burden. Your joy becomes his purpose. And even when he’s tired, broken, or afraid, he still stands tall for you! Hold him tighter...because a father never truly leaves rather he lives on… in your courage, in your kindness, in every quiet moment where love speaks louder than words. On this Father’s Day, let’s celebrate the man who stood tall so we could lean... The one who gave us roots to stay grounded and wings to fly.. To Dad...thank you for being our first hero, our forever guide, and the heart that never stops ...
