Life is a gift, it is a miracle, it is a journey, a monumental one as you embark upon it, enjoy it.
Why do we wait for something or someone all the time, why don’t we just turn around and start with, where we are who we are as there will be never a perfect day to start living ….There are no absolutes, no black and white, a lot of blackish white and whitish black and of course, lots of greys, so we need to start where we are, with what we are, who we are and start living ….the way we want to live. As they say, live the life you love and love the life you live.
The question remains why do we need someone’s sanction, someone’s approval to make us happy or find complete contentment. Maybe we are looking for reassurance that we are doing the right thing the right way …but there is no right or wrong. There is only your way and my way….the big question is how to make my right work for you and vice versa….life is a sum of parts , there are no wholes, we just need to embrace every moment as it is in all its beauty or ugliness as the case , we must accept our fate, good or bad as it is, with equal ease with complete equanimity.
Karma, fate or destiny is the only way to explain why some people seem to have it all while others struggle all the way to heaven or hell.
But one constant of life, whether with riches or rags, is its unpredictability. Life is what happens to us when we are making other plans, so we will falter, we will make mistakes,.so the crux remains we need to make the best of what we have. Life is not just what happens to us, but what we make of it. It may not always turn out the way you had planned but it is still beautiful, you might be stressed, frustrated, your dreams might not be realized and your ambition might be thwarted but don’t let negativity set in, try and greet life and all its trials and tribulations with equanimity.
Often we are the obstacle for ourselves, the roads are always open, we just don’t get started, free your mind and soul from the pressure of excelling in every arena, it is alright to be just fine, life is not about superlatives, superheroes are only in books and movies.
Sometimes, letting go of excess baggage can be liberating, try and do your best even in the worst of times. Of course, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But that is the beauty of life. You learn, you improvise as you go along, you get some, you lose some, you rise, you fall, in short, you live. The idea is to make the most our lot so, when our time comes.
We have no regrets no disappointments, we just have memories worth cherishing and many unforgettable moments and life well lived. Life is a gift, it is a miracle, it is a journey, a monumental one as you embark upon it, enjoy it. Live, for now, this moment as it is, as you are walking barefoot on the dewy grass, enjoy the sunset, smell a flower, watch a child laugh, let the wind play with your hair, let your hair down, unwind and let go, soothe your senses and relax your nerves. All that matters is that the world is a beautiful place and you are alive and kicking to enjoy it.

My house-help asked excitedly, “I am going for wedding. Can you let me wear your red & black saree? To be honest I was stumped for a moment; I didn’t know what to say but I still said yes.
I lent a gorgeous saree to my house-help for a wedding in her family. Soon I stated getting questions if I would wear that saree again or if I was okay to be seen wearing the same saree my house-help was wearing?
We are all so conditioned to give our used clothes to our house-helps but are we okay to wear the clothes they were wearing?
A few days ago she came excitedly to me, “I am going for a family wedding. I want to wear your red & black saree, Ill wash and give it to you after the function. Please can you let me wear it?”
Beauty is a very clever, very evil capitalist tool. It traps those who have it into hanging on to it for dear life and those who don't into mutilating, torturing themselves to achieve the unachievable.
I recently wrote a piece about MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet in which he had shared a pic with six women parliamentarians tagging them and saying “Who says the Lok Sabha isn’t an attractive place to work?”
There was a rash of comments on the post shared on Instagram, which ranged from “chill, it’s just a compliment” and “stop overthinking compliments”, to (worried) men lamenting about “these feminazi”.
Here’s my answer to all those comments.
In many Indian families, the MIL-DIL relationship is full of passive or open conflict. But, does it necessarily have to be this way?
If you try and unscramble ‘Mother-in-Law’ you would be surprised by the result. The daughter-in-Law in you would wonder if it was a divine sign of acknowledgement and acceptance of what you have felt all your married life. Did you get it? No? – “Woman Hitler”, that’s what it unravels as. Did I just hear a snort and a chuckle out there..?
This is a topic close to every daughter-in-law’s heart. The excitement of marrying your beau is always interspersed with apprehension of what his mother would be like. Would she be possessive of her son or would she have a free hand? Will she have space issues or would she live and let live? Will she despise me or love me like her own? Would I meet with approval or be stamped as unworthy of her product of perfection? Will she understand today’s generation and its mindset or be deeply rooted in her own?
Sit your ass down critics...Malala Yousafzai took a bullet to her head instead of bowing down to pressures far more serious. If she decided to marry, I’m pretty sure she knows what she’s doing!
Marriage is a big deal. So why can’t this young woman – despite her experiences and pedigree – question the institution of marriage?
My social media exploded today with the news that Malala Yousafzai got married a few days ago. Sadly, there I am seeing trolling, mean comments and extreme opinions instead of good wishes. “Hypocrite! Two-faced! Undeserving of the title of youth icon! She should return her Nobel Prize! Liar!”
This is also one of the very few times when the right wing and the left wing have united in their cause to make fun, question, and interrogate an inspiring woman who is in a position of power. And what’s gotten everyone’s panties in a wad is that Malala Yousafzai said something completely different a few months back and went back on her word.
