Life...

Exciting, boring, happy, depressing, content, fast, slow - you may associate all these words with it at different points in time. But it is what it is. Bigger and important than anything in this world. Life.

It is amazing how we keep planning for it ahead of time and how it unfolds itself gradually. Watched 'Boyhood' yesterday and loved it purely for the simplicity of the movie. It just plays out the life of a boy from the age of 4 to 25 years showing various different factors shaping his personality while he grows up. It depicts all the concerns and confusions we confront in our youth. And the funny thing is that these confusions never die within us. We just become less expressive about them as we age. 

We are never really 100% sure about what we are doing and whether it is enough for us and everyone around us. The beauty lies in just going with the flow and keep looking for those life changing turning points. We just grow up to handle responsibilities as and when they crop up and also manage to stretch beyond our limits when its really required. And these are the situations that define us and make us evolve.

I sometimes wonder what would I be writing about when I am, say, 60! Guess, I would still be writing about my life, but definitely loaded with a lot more experiences to share. And definitely more satisfied with what I have and what I could do with my life and for my near and dear ones. It is not what you do for others matters. What matters is how you inspire others and enable/empower them to do something meaningful. So, if you work on yourself, everything else will be fine. Just work on realizing your own potential.

On a personal front, am still confused about what I exactly want to do professionally. Accumulation of resources for future projects is something really important and that is what I am involved in right now. Lets see how long I manage to do this. May be I will have to take a call some day. Am waiting for that turning point!

Maami Series - Something about the Kurta

Well, it has been quite some time since we ignored our dear Maamis. To provide you a status update, DM is on a Mama (Groom) hunt whereas SM is exploring the world of photography. DM is always filled with deep appreciation (to the extent of joining her fan club) for SM whenever SM tries her hand at such interesting domains. Nowadays SM is kept on her toes looking for a picturesque scene that could be captured in her Nikon/Canon to be interpreted as abstract or real piece of art. Some of her masterpieces have been the stray dogs of her colony, random clouds, thirsty birds, and dirty kids! In a recent telephonic conversation between both the Maamis (after a time gap of more than 2 weeks), they touched upon the usual topic of fashion, brand consciousness and dressing sense of today's generation (they obviously considered themselves as aliens!). Both of them took pride in recognizing the fact that somehow they identify themselves with Kurtas and that 70% of their wardrobe is full of th...

The Path I fear to tread...

There is a path I fear to tread. I know it would not lead me to my destination. But it is enticing me. I am divided into two schools of thought. One says, "listen to your heart", and the other says, "stay focussed on your goal". I am trying to help others come out of their gloom. But who will rescue me from this mire! I encounter unknown emotions and distorted personalities. I don't know how to deal with both. I feel lost in this new world. But I know I am strong enough to come out of this web...I am hopeful.

Being a girl...

Ever asked a girl how does it feel being of the female gender? Now you would say when I never asked a guy, what is so special being a girl? I would say, it wouldn't have been if the Indian society wouldn't been a male chauvinistic society. People say it is the weaker sex, the reason being that we are dependent on our male counterparts for leading our lives. Although it has been proved wrong by many bold females by challenging and going against the generally accepted rules and regulations for girls, there are still several areas, where the battle is still on. Now without getting into the details of "Equality for Women in society" issue, I would take the case of one my friends. Let me call her Ms. M. Now this girl, like all my friends, is a highly confused but simple and modest (to an extreme) girl. She hasn’t had a boyfriend in her 22 yr long life. But is now developing feelings for a guy on whom she first had a crush (is it called puppy love??). Ok..looks simple. But...
