Breathe!



Nowadays, as we all are wearing masks daily - as it is - its getting difficult to breathe. But you can't  avoid wearing one. Before the COVID condition it was pollution, that made it difficult to breathe.

But it's not always the physical or climatic conditions around us that are solely responsible for difficulty in breathing. Sometimes it's our hectic schedules, our life styles that makes us forget to stop and breathe.

Yes! It is essential to pause once in a while to breathe! Collecting our thoughts, making space, reassembling things and getting ready to face the next moment, the next challenge our life is going to throw at us....

Sometimes we have to breathe to let some pulse, for us, to choose what's right or wrong, to proceed further...

In this new age all are running; and I don't mean 'Marathons'😜... but am talking about our pace, the way we are gushing, hurrying through it all. Everybody wants to get there, on the top ASAP. But as John De Paulo says - " Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you." We need to take it steady and unhurried. So Breathe In, Breathe Out and Move On.......

What if its a bad day? It's not a bad life right? So just breathe! Do the best with what you have and how much you can! Forget and ignore even if someone's judging you. Put it all away and just breathe...

Trust yourself and be proud of where you are today! It took alot of courage and efforts for you to be there. If you ain't satisfied then buckle up and look into what more you can do to reach there. But don't forget to take a deep breath before you plunge in.

If the past is hurting you...breathe it out too...and breathe in the future. Look ahead with your chin up. Advance with new hope, positivity and confidence. And keep reminding yourself to halt and breathe, once in a while. 

In Yoga, the Pranayaam encourages us to breathe..Inhale and Exhale. This also means releasing anything that doesn't serve you - just throw out what's troubling you and take in that's beneficial for you and your wellbeing. 

It's always going to be okay - don't worry - Breathe!

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...
