Raag-Bairaag

Image
I was sitting with my chai in the afternoon and scrolling Instagram, just when the extrovert in me thought of attending some random event in the city. There is no single event that crosses by when I haven't given this a thought, but today I got up and booked tickets for an event called 'Raag-Bairaag'. I managed to take a dear friend along with me to witness some mesmerizing performances by 3 artists-Manaswini Sharma, Dil Mastana, and Yugm Band. I am here to tell you how YUGM impacted me. I believe that everything is so synced in this universe. Nothing happens by chance. I saw the stories of this event on many accounts on IG and just like that planned to go. Who knew that I will come back with a fresh perspective towards where life is taking me. I have recently joined a travel company as a writer. Writing was my dream job a year back and I already feel as if this was not so true. When I saw Abhishek talking about music and the band, his eyes sparkled. I have heard that peopl

Missed Connections // Gone with the Orchids

"How are you supposed to define the look in the eyes of a child, Elliott?" "What?" "I saw that kid when I was buying these Orchids from Huvina", Jenna says, taking out a chocolate from her handbag. "She carried a monkey-faced tiny backpack, the one which parents give to the children while travelling." "Who was she?", he inquired. [Jenna still continuing without giving much attention to what Elliott asked] "I was late for the meeting that day with a new client, and Huvina Market was on my way. You know a day before when I was leaving for home, I saw that your desk looked bare. So, I stopped to buy Orchids; your favourite ones, white orchids.” “That’s so sweet of you, Hun.” "No, Elliott. Sweet was her smile. That smile I saw when I gave her the flowers. At first, she looked so confused standing there at the florist; just when I turned to her with flowers, her face lit up, as if she got her answer for which one to pick.” “Well, w

Why You Must Know About Anger Management To Live A Healthy Life

I was dancing over the furniture, up and down, from ceiling to the ground! (Imagine yourself, dancing to the beats of your favorite music) Your mobile phone rings and you saw the number flashing on the screen. Suddenly, music became a horrible noise. The melody turned into cacophony. You see? That quick change? How in seconds your smiling face turned gloomy? There are many more instances in your daily life where you fail to contemplate your thoughts and just react. The reason for that gloomy face can be anything but here, I want you to focus on your reactions. What did you do? You picked up the phone and started yelling due to some wrathful story associated with that person. Think about it. You did not even care to listen to what the person wanted to say but considering all the pre-assumptions you just reacted. Phone calls are one thing. There can be many in-person incidents as well where we react more than understanding. What is it? This is your Anger and Anger is considered as a Dead

Seri? Seri. Okay? Okay.

" Aaj se SERI humara word hai " might not be as aesthetic as "Maybe OKAY will be our always", but we won't deny the fact that  Dil Bechara  made us cry just like The Fault in Our Stars did.  Dil Bechara ripped my heart in thousand different ways. It was one of those movies which I never wanted to watch but couldn't stop myself as well. I would never compare my all-time favourite TFIOS with Dil Bechara but it would be unfair to say that Bollywood tadka to John Green's words went in vain.  In the scene when Manny put Pushpinder in front of him and Kizie hugged him from behind, he reminded me of the lost love and those little moments left to be cherished or maybe to be kept in my memory box forever. The song 'Taare Gin' had tears rolling down from my eyes as it just took me back to a similar ride on a hazy night in December. When Manny and Kizie said, "Seri", it made me long for the "I love you's" that we lose in our lives.

How to Solve Issues With Acceptance

It has been 3 weeks since I published my first blog and I have been thinking about this feeling of never being enough. With the growing age, we somehow put ourselves in self doubt and then self criticism, as if others are not enough to do that already? Right? So yes, the concept is to remove negative self talk from our life and engage more into self improvement and self forgiveness. The purpose of using the word self here number of time is to tell you that this article is all about personal growth, unconditional self acceptance and self love by dealing with all the internal and external circumstances. I am trying to know about the possibilities and in deep quest to find my answers. I have grown up listening to this story of a Flower. Waking up in the morning and getting ready for school to join the morning prayer was my schedule that I left 5 years back. We used to get heck bored with the morning assemblies and never actually paid attention. Out of all the stories that Sister used to t

What's in a Name?

Into The Nothingness Back in 2017, I read a quote that said, "I want to want nothing". This itself was so intriguing that I could not stop myself reading it. I went on and on and finally saved the post on my Instagram handle. Few days passed and I was not able to get over this quote. I kept on reading it for days and months and slowly steadily it became my life. I might not be able to tell you that when exactly I started living my life like this, but there's one thing for which I am so sure that this one-liner changed my life. I know, you must be reckoning that it took you 3 years to bring this content to papers? Well, yes. But I remember talking about it with people who asked me the meaning of it, I still do. Now it became my identity in the college. Every passer-by used to call me, "Hey, @ intothenothingnesss ", reason being it was my Instagram username now. I inculcated these words so well and felt like a soul setting herself free. Let me not
