Lockdown story of Me to New me!

Image
My lockdown story Hello readers, I think we have moved way past the point where I can ask for apologies for not being regular with my blogs. But all have plans and so I had some too. I actually wanted to pen down a new blog only after a new beginning but I just could not miss today's date without sharing the overload of emotions I am feeling today. March 14, 2020 So before you wonder what is so special today. Actually, this day, March 14, last year, I left behind the city of dreams - Mumbai with a never ending hope to get back to it for my graduation. But alas! We all know life had something else in store for us. Not that I am filled with anger and regret for it but attachments, that's the thing with me. Something that tear me down when given a lot of thought into it. For more than 2 years, I had been living in Mumbai. I created so many bonds with people, with places, oh! And obviously, the dogs and cats that I came across. So, parting away with that without really realizing it...

Our Dream worlds!

Hola Amigos, Don't you think?  Before this COVID 19 virus entered our lives, we were all living in the material world we created for ourselves. But as we are forced to stay indoors, we all have moved way past our materially luxurious lives. A life that went by the hands of clock has now come to a halt. At once, everything seems futile and a thing of the past. Now that the real world in which we reside in has turned too hard hitting; we all have shifted to our dream worlds again. The universe which is like a willful escape from our present times. A world of Art and Fiction , where stories are weaved with magic. Haven't we all got back to our favorite movies, shows, music, podcasts or books?We are seeking a break from harsh realities of today. We still want to believe in magic and maybe that's why supernatural, dreamy or science fictional stories are capturing our hearts with much more intensity now. Recently, J.K Rowling along with her team has started Har...

A Standstill amidst chaos!

Hello humans, So feeling all bored and depressed in this quarantine? Well, instead of waiting to get back to life yet again why not just appreciate the time we have for ourselves? I truly feel that this standstill was much needed for human world (though not in such a negative way as it has come). Till now we were just living like a robot, following a set lifestyle, and we failed to realise that the only basic elements which make us different from robot are our abilities to think, feel and understand. The abilities which we kept at the bay, while being busy in swimming through our monotonous and tiresome lives. We forgot that it is vital for us to relax at times. We need to take breaks to get back to our work with more enthusiasm. We missed out that all the facets of time are cardinal in our lives. Just like what we do in our present shapes our future, in the same manner, what is to be done in the present is decided by reflecting upon our past. We usually focus on the forme...

YOU ARE WHAT YOU CONSUME!

                                   Do you ever wonder how rapidly online or E-content is consumed by the people these days? What does that make you think ? Does it mean that people are so free and available that they spend their time watching various movies/ series, playing games, consuming e-books, creating and posting videos and lot more? As a joke, we might agree  to it, but truly we all know that no one is all that free.This heavy intake of content only means that even after a long, tiring day, we prefer to watch / hear/ read something rather than taking rest or letting our thoughts wander boundlessly. Sometimes we avoid our thoughts just because we fail to understand them. When we come across some similar plots or story lines, we find it bingeworthy. It makes us feel better that we are not alone in this feeling. We always look for validation or assurance outside ourselves and when w...
