"I read somewhere once that what if we get up one day and realise that all of what we think is reality is actually a dream. While it was written in jest, it made me think. Maybe, what is a dream for us is someone's reality because it is a happier space which is enlivening."
“I read somewhere once that what if we get up one day and realise that all of what we think is reality is actually a dream. While it was written in jest, it made me think. Maybe, what is a dream for us is someone’s reality because it is a happier space which is enlivening.”
The aureate sunbeams percolate through my pores, Unlocking my shut eyes as the wonted dawn beckons; The quivering and weary lashes grapple and stutter, As they endeavour to make way for vision in the dungeon.
It is dim with speckles of light lurking in the shadows, My body manoeuvres its way through each curve and lane; Comfortable in the darkness, so familiar and intimate, The unilluminated surrounding is in kinship with my pain.
Suddenly there is a flash of light, unforeseen and jarring. Alluring me into a deceptive, effulgent illusion; I scream, I panic, I turn around to escape, Taking to my heels, till I fade into oblivion.
I am back to that caliginous space, The one that I have embraced and known; Dodging the perfidious, dazzling luminosity, I am blissful in my desolate, gloomy zone.
The night descends on the horizon, still and mute; I slip into slumber and awaken in the realms of fantasy. A surge of exuberance proliferates within me, Vivifying my soul as I live my glittering reality.
Don’t tell me that my truth is a dream, Don’t tell me that my bright is a fallacy; Don’t push me into obscure apertures, Let me decide my light, my reality.
Author’s Note: I read somewhere once that what if we get up one day and realise that all of what we think is reality is actually a dream. While it was written in jest, it made me think. Maybe, what is a dream for us is someone’s reality because it is a happier space which is enlivening. Who are we to define it for anyone? Maybe what is our light during the day time is someone’s darkness and their dreams are what brightens their world. The darkness they are in becomes comfortable and maybe they do not wish to see the light we force on them. We decide our light, our reality.

People have relationships without marriages. People cheat. People break up all the time. Just because two people followed some rituals does not make them more adept at tolerating each other for life.
Why is that our society defines a woman’s success by her marital status? Is it an achievement to get married or remain married? Is it anybody’s business? Are people’s lives so hollow that they need someone’s broken marriage to feel good about themselves?
A couple of months ago, I came across an article titled, “Shweta Tiwari married for the third time.” When I read through it, the article went on to clarify that the picture making news was one her one of her shows, in which she is all set to marry her co-star. She is not getting married in real life.
Fair enough. But why did the publication use such a clickbait title that was so misleading? I guess the thought of a woman marrying thrice made an exciting news for them and their potential readers who might click through.

Even after writing eleven books and winning several prestigious awards, Maya Angelou doubted that she had earned her accomplishments. Albert Einstein also described himself as an involuntary swindler whose work did not deserve the attention it had received.
Feeling inadequate, unworthy, and undeserving of success, along with the fear of being exposed as a fraud, is called the imposter syndrome.
