Story of my Life

One fine morning, I realize
"I am old enough now. I know what I want".
I decide to send a message in a bottle 
To God, the only one who could get my dreams
To come to life, to spread some joy. 

He, who knew what I wanted
Gave me the same. 
As a teenager, I did not know 
How I was to handle the overwhelmed feeling
And gave way to a lot of indulgence.

Love as a feeling was my only goal 
To achieve; both to give and receive. 
Sadly, I did not know the difference 
Paving way to a lot of pit-holes 
Not knowing what was in it for me. 

Life as I knew it then
Took me through a roller coaster ride.
A ride that, till date will never forget 
A ride that changed my life 
A ride that forced me to face reality. 

A journey through the best and the worst 
A journey that made me insensitive.
A journey that caused havoc in my life 
A journey that gradually settled
Reminding me of my foolishness and wrong choices.

There had to be something I could change
A change that would never take me back there. 
That place where most of my memories
Lie low, still reminding me of those stupid choices
Blame me, but no one else. 

Change came with a "message in a bottle"
Back from him after years.
A message that pulled me back from the pile 
A pile that hurt me beyond words 
A pile that now no longer exists. 

The message made me stronger 
The message made me wiser. 
To give or to receive is my choice
May it be love or hate
For I am my own creator.

The playground theory

As part of a fitness routine, my husband and I have started going for regular walks. Bangalore, famous for its 'parks', has a small one just about a kilometre away from my place. We go around the park several times hoping the weighing scale shows some mercy on us and we have thankfully been successful so far. This gives me the time to think about life, how time has passed by in a hurry and how things have changed in so little time. Looking at 2 feet tall kids running around, it makes me feel so old and it got me thinking - when was the last time I was so carefree and all I had to worry about in life was "When do I get to go to the park the next day?" To come to think of it, kids during their playtime can actually teach you a lot and so can monkey bars and slides! Here are some instances that got me thinking: The oh-so-tall slide - Kids are hell scared to get on top of the slide and are terrified that they might tumble down. But when its quite successful the fi...

It's been a while...

It's been a couple of years since I stopped writing. My excuse is going to be the same old - no time. Was busy hunting for my first job and getting married. And here I am; almost three years at work and one and a half years of being married, I've decided to make the time. You should expect a post or two a month. Watch out for the space for more. Cheers!

The Theory of TV and Human Behaviour

We as humans, when we think of television, the first thing that flashes into our minds is the different programs we watch frequently or something that has a positive or a negative impact on us. For instance, whenever I see the word ‘racial’ all that I can think of are the racial attacks on Indians in Australia. To come to think of it, we have actually decided that the attacks are purely of racial nature alone after the number of times the word RACIAL ATTACKS has been flashed on our television screens. Therefore, I have decided to look at the impact of television on the society and how it has conditioned us to think the way it wants us to. The theory is based on Marx’s concept of false consciousness and other sociological concepts. The theory is named as “TV AND HUMAN BEHAVIOUR”. The reason for this title is that, we as humans behave and react according to the events demonstrated on TV, either according to it or completely against it. Som...
