Forgive Yourself

-
Forgive yourself,
...If you've given much importance to someone who couldn't value it.

Forgive yourself,
...If you had asked for an honest relationship from a confused person.

Forgive yourself
...If you've asked nothing more than they assured you, they would... But they didn't.

Forgive yourself. 
It's your fault. 
Your expectations were right.
But the person you chose was wrong.

Forgive yourself.
It will relieve the strain.

Art & Algorithm

 Do you really think that writers or painters have a pattern in being mused and amusing you? Do you really think that it is practically possible for any writer to wake up in the morning with a new hunch and inject in you a motivational punch? Haa! Maybe you don't. But the influential social media and the urge to be found in a web traffic has made the writers and other artists feel that their art should come out in a pattern that matches the social media algorithm and help them to get found or let's say in the Gen Z fashion, 'trend'...! Beginning from a few years ago till a few week ago, I too have tried to fit in an algorithm. The social media hashtags, you see. Fit in how the keywords works, how the hashtags can be used, what people are liking, what modern influencers are doing. And especially try to see if my posts has reached the algorithm approval or not. Surprisingly, whatever I did, did not work. Was it a surprise? No... It had not been working past four years, wh...

The Greatness of Gratefulness

I had been so enchanted by the idea of the cosmic numbers that every time I would see 11:11, I would start uttering all the nicest things I have been waiting, working and praying for. You know right? The idea of 11:11 and 3:33- the magical numbers that are a sign that the Universe is listening to you. Now, suppose each time your boyfriend or girlfriend comes to meet you, they start telling you about all the ‘pending things’ that you are supposed to bring them. No appreciation for the ice-cream the other day, no thank you for the happy cinema date, no kisses for the love you keep giving them- no, nothing. Just a trail of ‘things to do’, like Myntra and Flipkart has ‘things to buy’. Applications can work like that, (even they ask for platform fee and good reviews). Relationships don’t. At one time, you would get tired of that ingrate and begin to regret. Mind you, this was just an example. If you think of yourself to be carrying a relationship with the Universe/cosmos/God… (which...

Error 609 Found: Benefit of Misunderstandings

-

  It’s July 2025, and if somebody would have asked me before this day, what am I afraid of- I would take two hours and say, nothing. There is no specific thing that comes to my mind of which I am afraid of. My mother is cool. My sister is sassy. My brother is my second copy (revised edition). Spiders? Well, I accept the fact that I co-exist with them. Crocodiles? By God’s grace I do not have to meet and greet them in human or animal form regularly. Lions? I live with Leos! But today, I realized that I am afraid of misunderstandings. That is a part of our existence that can drive a person to hate you, to be against you, to become an enemy. In my book Kaliyuga On My Curls, I had added a note that Misunderstandings are like Brown-tinted glasses. It can change how you appear to a person. This note was a hard-earned learning of my growing up. All my life, I have been very annoyed at the lazy-witted people for their quick-judgement on me. Or anybody. I do not find it fair whe...
