Every Monday morning when we wake up, we so desperately want to hit the snooze button, and we are so eagerly waiting for the next weekend so that we can complete our sleep. This happens because we all are living our life in fast forward. So just for once stop and give yourself  a blank stare in the eye, look in the hollowness of your soul, you will find it buried in the storm of your feeling, with your dreams soaring over it like wind. We’re too busy trying to rush through everything, so we can get on with what we’re really supposed to do with our lives. Do we even remember what we were before the world told us what we should be?

We cannot control what happens but we can control what we do. So why don’t we stop surviving and start living. It doesn’t mean to give up on our duties and chill out but you can find some time to do those small things which give meaning to your life. It can be an act of kindness, a travel to someplace, writing down what’s on your mind, anything where happiness is what you find but don’t forget to slow down and live those moments because they will give you memories, memories which bring sheer happiness.

We have to stop capturing what doesn’t matter and blurring what does .We have to stop living a life we’ll regret later and live a life that we’ll be proud of cause when we’ll be on our death bed and we’ll look back we don’t want our dreams looking at us with large angry eyes but we should feel that our life was a life well lived.

“You’re so good at English. Then why did you opt for science?” My curiosity wobbed up. “To earn money, of course. Don’t you see written tarry hooting about without jobs or income?”

I wondered …… has our system restricted Science upto, only earning money? Has Science lost its essence in the mist of Sherrod materialism and pathetic mindset of people, thinking Science as a tool just for procuring employment…

How many of those who choose Science really think that was in Science, why Science…… Many of us consider Science as a subject pertaining to facts, laws and so called adjure and abominable equations. But infact, Science was never about facts.

Science is a beauty which wants itself to be explored. It needs itself to be explored and exploited to its roots. Science is not only a subject, it is a larger than life cause and consequence. ‘Science is the emotion of nature’. It is a feeling that arises from the human soul and takes wondrous forms on paper.

Actually, Science is not restricted to these bites pf paper, be it money or textbooks or whatsoever. Science is what we see, it is what we feel, it is what we are, why we are…… The root of which is eventually explained by Science.

But due to the miserable mentality of using Science as employment tool, other fields too are affected. Have you ever wondered why there are news of collapsing bridges and buildings, surgical errors? This is because children are forced to take Science. They do not get to explore new dimensions of life. They are indulged in a that race of cheer drudgery where they fail to understand the real motto of Science.

There is no dearth of talent and manpower. But the fire that lurks within each and every one of us is put out instead of kindling it. There is no way where we can judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. When we look at the world, beyond money, we see that the world is beautiful. Everything in it has a purpose, has a reason to exist. No one is a ‘good for nothing’.

SCIENCE TEACHES IT ALL, ONLY IF YOU CARE TO LEARN.

Sometimes, for something,
to make sense,
Leave order,
enter the chaos.

Not everything
needs to have,
a reason,
Or needs to be,
defined.

It has always
been there,
when we needed it.
Now it indulges itself,
when we do not.

Chaos is the new savior,
the new mentor,
Not something we need,
but we deserve.

The actual bond Well today if we think of the world and the people living in it ,we might have different reviews regarding it.We often see people calling others with different names sometimes maybe including their culture or history,but then I think why do we have so many notions about one’s identity.I sometimes feel that man is so powerful,he has converted the heavenly earth into a hell. Isn’t it bad? We have not just destroyed the earth ,but also our rich fauna and flora.Everyone has a different bond with earth.For me earth is not just my home ,but it’s also my mother ,who has given me a bright opportunity to experience life on earth.I don’t know what others are doing for our earth ,but I’m trying my best to save the dearest earth. I am maintaining my bond with earth,are you??

Life is a roller coaster ride, at some point you fall,at some stage you get scared, at some stage you feel the pinch of death but that one moment of touching the sky, that one phase of satisfaction gives you the immense pleasure. If you screamed at the drop and took a peace breath at top the rear of discontent wish would never cross your cheek….(Read More)

I saw him coming with the smile stunning
He was flowing as fast as he could to touch my banks from where he stood
He grew larger and larger as he approached me
Because of the hunger that had approached him…(Read More)

Unveiling the darkness over the concealed confessions

ÀThose which struggle inside panicked resolutions

And through a way in silence

Do they head towards abeyance?

It was an exquisite park. It had trees, shrubs, cats, dogs, children, families and so many birds….(Read More)
