Differences in our Society




Life sometimes forces u to think deeply due to the situations around you. I am writing this when I was once traveling on the train. Every one of us had traveled and must have noticed it. Though known to everyone just felt jotting down what encompasses "LIFE"!
In this same world which we call "life" have you ever noticed the differences that exist among the characters of the drama called "Life"? Even the child who lives on the roadside, which I watched through my train passing by, has his world. They too enjoy life, they feel the greatest of the joy even playing with the mud around, making string out of the poly bags thrown in the garbage,  living together, wearing the brightest of the colors, the ladies all done with colorful ribbons, artificial bright jewelry. They also live life though they never get a chance even once in their entire life to sit in an SUV or live in a so-called house. They do not have the AC's 2 cool their rooms but they enjoy the cool breeze sleeping in the open air in a shed on the roadside. They never got a chance to taste the mushrooms, pizza's or the burger but eat only the leftovers or the hard-earned single chapati for the day. They do not have showers to take bath but when you see how these roadside children enjoy every drop of rain, u will be overwhelmed.

So, can anyone ever justify the difference that we witness in our society? Few people in my train had a hot discussion on your “Karma” which according to them and many others decides what you get in your life! But the question still lingers in my mind that whether your "Karma" really assures the quality of life.

Happy Daughter's Day

  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 i...

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...

Motherhood or a Solitary life?

The princess when born is introduced to this world like a fairy tale only if not born in a family of so-called underprivileged people. The world is competitive and hence, the upbringing of our kids being a boy or a girl. The parents shower them with all the goodness of their life more than their worth. A girl also grows up aspiring and living her dreams, her own life, her ambitions, her career, and above all her own rules of living life but the word 'Motherhood' is that beautiful word in a girl's life which molds her completely! “Mother” word in itself encompasses the feeling of warmth, love, and care but like any other good thing, it too comes with its own cost. In the journey of becoming a mother, certain changes are expected like a new baby, physical changes, responsibilities, etc. but one may not anticipate all the ways that motherhood changes you from within; your inner-self! Being a 'mother' is an exhilarating experience and children bring a new meaning to ev...
