The Dreamcatcher!

I was always amazed by this concept of dreamcatcher! A dreamcatcher was originally hung over a cradle for protection of babies. Yes it is now used as a Charm - they say the dreamcatcher catches dreams for you. It filters out the negative vibes and lets the positivity in. That's why we hung it on our windows or balconies.


Our bad dreams become hopelessly entangled in the woven web, all through the night until the light of the morning sun burns them away.
With this dreamcatcher, we enter into a world that is entirely our own - our good dreams that we own. Yes ofcourse for this you have to believe in your dreams, you have to take that leap of faith, you have to commit yourself to it. Only then, will your dreams become reality.

When I look at a dreamcatcher, its intrigue design of web, hoop, threads, feathers - I feel that each one has its story. I perceive the web as our complicated thoughts, and the hoop as our brain/mind. We consciously - subconsciously keep on thinking and weaving this web inside the hoop with threads of our thoughts. Then at some point our positive mind interrupts and leaves a gap in this web. Thus, makes a space for fresh air, calmness to get in.
Then theres our playful/happy mind which adds these light, colourful feathers - happy/cheerful thoughts. And Tadaaa that sums up to a fascinating piece of art! Ready to be hung and displayed. For you to create hope - a fresh trigger to start your day anew!

They say a dream is a wish your heart makes - and I would like to add - "this dream comes true when your mind decides to play the right games at right time!

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
