Life is a solo trip

We all got to understand that life

is sometimes like a double edged knife! 

Its about acceptance and perseverance 

And it doesn’t accept our interference :(

Life teaches us time and again 

that nothing is in our hands 

and it’s not our domain! 

But life also teaches us to have an open mind and walking as per the plan we designed! 

We might not always get our provisions but we need to keep making prudent decisions. 

Even though, life gives us companionship to complete our showmanship, 

but it’s like a solo trip! 

Where we come alone and alone slip!

A Blind Date

Is this jock the one? Or may be that baby faced bald man sitting over there…uh…oh? Or may be that handsome over there, with a charming face, deep blue eyes, dark hair and furrowed eyebrows…hmmm….but he doesn’t seem to be waiting for anyone and look at me, he won’t even spare a moment to look at me. I don’t know how my blind date would look like but I certainly know that he is not at all punctual. Yes, I have come for a stupid blind date, arranged by my friends, and according to them my life is boring…possibly more boring than waiting for my unpunctual date and that too without even talking to him once. And here am I, sitting in an uptown restaurant waiting for him. Interesting part is that, this ‘him’ might be my husband, boyfriend or just turn out to be an acquaintance or may be an unprecedented enemy! And oh, a guy just entered, looks interesting, dark sculpted face and intense eyes… is he the one I am going to fall in love with… oh he just went with that damsel … By now all my hopes are dying and its already 40 minutes past the meeting time. Nobody is left alone in this restaurant in the farthest vicinity except me and that blue eyed guy I just thought about. Is he really the one…oh god really…wow… but why is he not approaching me… may be he doesn’t even want to talk to me… ok let’s get going dear… it was another bad day. I call the waiter for the bill and I start staring at my phone as I wait… trying to hide the tears which just started filling my eyes… And I hear a voice “Excuse me, Are you Ms. Megha” and I look up in awe and a guy is standing next to me with a bouquet of red roses. To my horror and shock, he was the one handsome I’ve been thinking about. And while I was being apprehensive, about what to say, he starts admitting that he wasn’t sure if I was the one and was scared to make the first move and came only when he was really sure. My eyes glowing with pleasure and content, here we are sitting in an uptown restaurant enjoying our date.

Is it not the right time yet ????

The country in which I was born and brought up, is the mother of so many religions and a variety of cultures. To be very honest, I also follow one somewhat :)

Some days back I came to a country where people were technically more forward, happier and richer. People seemed to be so united and similar to each other!
I was so pleased with their behavior and their timeliness and their discipline ...
First time in my life, I saw people going for lunch and dinner at the same time and even brushing teeth at the same time ! I was so possessed by such a culture and I started digging into the roots of it :)

Although I was busy with my tight schedule , I started roaming around the city on weekends and started talking to some of the people at office. Everywhere I went, I felt so much similarity which I could never find in my birth place ( not even 2 km radius ) :D
Suddenly one day I found out that most of the people here dont follow any religion ! ( I dont remember, how I found out for the heck of it ). First time in my life, after hearing terms like baniya, jaat , punjaabi , marwari , north indian, chinki , south indian , bengali .... I heard something different and interesting "NO RELIGION" !

I began to think is that the reason of their happiness and unity ? Although I believe five fingers are never equal and I'm never stronglu opinionated :)
But on second thoughts, aren't we used to loathing each other on the basis of caste and creed ? Aren't we imbibed to abhor in the name of religion !
Aren't we so used to discrimination on the basis of gender, that even the discriminated ones feel that its alright to be suppressed ! :D

Aren't we the ones who dont even have the right to take most important decisions of our lives ?
Isn't it correct that most of us dont even have the right to choose their spouse in the name of so called society ?
Isn't it true that we are so deeply involved in altercations and clashes all the time that we dont have time left to work on development of our country !

Aren't we the ones who are looked at as SLAVES all over the world ?

Isn't it the time to leave personal/communal differences behind and start working for a better future ?

Isn't it the time to teach our men to respect the integrity of a women regardless of her religion, region and clothes ?

Isn't it the time to stop corruption and reservation ?

Isn't it the right time to start the chapter of true equality ?

Isn't it the time to wake up before its too late ?

Lets start taking decisions and act on it .....
