RUT RACE

Have you realized that the routines we call mundane have the power to take over our lives completely? We sacrifice so much at the altar of these mundane routines: the first casualty is time and everything else just follows suit. Our talents are wasted because we do not have the time to pursue them. Friendships sour because we do not have the time to call. Our passions die because the dull routines of our daily lives have no place for them. We forget we had hobbies because we can’t remember to dabble in them. We forget to help people who can do with our help. Our health suffers because we can’t make time in the business of our humdrum lives for a walk, a workout. And just because something as irrelevant as our routines, which apparently we decide for ourselves, ultimately decide for us what we do with our days!

लम्हें ~

ज़िन्दगी के  कुछ  लम्हें  यूँ बीत जाते हैं , कि हमे सिर्फ गुज़रे हुए कल याद आते हैं , टूटे रिश्ते हमे रुलाते हैं , बीती बातों को सोच हम धीरे से  मुस्कुराते हैं हैं , मुस्कराहट से झांकते आँखों के मोती छलक जाते हैं सिर्फ गुज़रे हुए पल याद आते हैं , ज़िन्दगी के  कुछ  लम्हें  यूँ बीत जाते हैं , फ़िर  कुछ  खो देने के ख्याल से हम डर जाते हैं कुछ पाने कि इच्छा से अक्सर दिल भर जाते हैं चुप चाप ही जीते ,चुप चाप मर जाते हैं ज़िन्दगी के  कुछ  लम्हें  यूँ बीत जाते हैं !!

Am I where I was meant to be? No, let’s rephrase that question: Am I where others thought I would be? How does it matter what others think, but when they tell you that they never thought you would be doing this now and here, you begin to wonder – where did they think I would be?How strange that all those different pictures are of me! How did I morph into so many things at the same time and none of them at all?How come I ended up doing everything I was not meant to? And yet, it never occurs to me till someone points it out to me... Of course, we rarely live our lives that way we thought we would as kids. What did you want to be when you were a child? What did others think you would be? Are you there?

Shades of reading

“Sometimes it gets difficult to get there, to reach till the end while there are some who have no problems in abandoning a book halfway through” I couldn’t agree more when Seema Goswami quoted this somewhere. Like her, I also belong to the    “I’ve started so I’ll finish” group of readers taking every book I read as a journey that I have to complete from the start till the end. Like the seven colors of the rainbow, every book adds more shades to my life and to my words. Of late, someone suggested me to read Fifty Shades of Grey, By E L James. The book had its own fan following and the buzz I could hear from everywhere. I thought it could be interesting and I wanted to know what all the hype was about. So I started reading it. The plot seemed intriguing and I was happy that I will have a comfortable journey till the end. Classified as erotic fiction, the book was written by British author, with characters Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele is written in three parts and was pu...
