LIfe is too Little to be Little!



 "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." -Confucius


Our reality is so beautiful and utterly mind blowing in it's complexity that we tend to bury our head in the sand and confine our view  thinking to the mundane drudgery of daily life. With the passing of time we have constructed this human reality of ours, layer upon layer, out of a shitload of different ideologies and technologies.... Consumerism, religions, our own individualistic hopes and dreams about money, power and infatuate love, tv, fast food ... This has become our day to day reality, a reality that blinds us from nature. It's not just the stars that our cities and their lights obscure from our mind's eye. Sometimes I feel as if we are about to lose ourselves in the entertainment jungle that we have created.




"The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives." -Albert Einstein

I often hear people casually say that they "live" for something - it’s usually something material or pleasurable. I am certain they would reconsider their choice if they thought of it in the negative - so what's worth living for is also worth dieing for.
I have acknowledged that the present world is just living for all the luxuries that please them; we have grown more nefarious and deceptive.People brush aside the real beauty and enjoy all those temporary make ups. 
 I ascertain that what we made have outgrown us and we are just overwhelmed by them that the beauty of the sand, the sun, the sweet aroma of flowers, the happiness in having real fun in sweating, fighting, sharing, loving and living has gone numb. We have become neutral!! 

But some people do live right now who surpass all this and prove  this wrong and I do salute them.  
 "Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite. " -Francis Bacon

Embrace your flaws



I personally believe that imperfections are just as valuable, if not more, as perfections.
my imperfections are something to be proud of… they make me unique and i love that.
When things aren’t perfect.
You either make  or you make a change.
If a straight line is so beautiful, then why is it a curvy U on your face make you beautiful?
Think over doesn't the screw's fall all the time in this world.
There is beauty in the imperfections,  everything perfect is either plastic or camouflage, a make up.

I know people expect a lot from us as though we are perfect,but we ain't,nor we will be, we can just try to be beautifully perfect with all the imperfections.

At the end of the day…it’s the “Imperfections” that stand out and make life more interesting..

Trust me  when something/someone seems perfect but turns out it/they really aren’t/isn’t, where something/someone seemingly imperfect is/are perfect.

I really get a lot of energy when I utter "I'm perfectly imperfect."

So things ain't so interesting if flawless!!

!!Teachers!!



 Can you recognize the one in the photo below???

 Though the World Teachers day is celebrated on 5th October, India observes THE DAY on 5th September  in  order to mark the birth of   Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrisnan the first Vice-President and the second President of the Independent nation.He was an eminent academician and an exquisite teacher of all times.
  The day is dedicated to the teachers who play a prominent role in a person's life; in institutions it is celebrated in different ways like honoring the teachers, planning a get together etc. One of the different way of celebrating the day that I had come across is by being a teacher myself on this day, it was a great opportunity, though we prepared for more than a week, when I stood on the podium in front of my juniors, I did posses the flying birds feeling in my stomach, and I did wonder how they stood in front of the students flawlessly  for so many hours continuously everyday, now its a memory to cherish.




In my views everyone is a teacher and a student of life as well, as everyone do inspire at-least a soul, but everyone are not referred to as "teacher", only ambrosial ones  who consume themselves to light the way for others are!.


 When we were little they sowed the seeds of knowledge...

they held our hands and thought what dreams are and to convert them to a reality as Dan Rather said " the dream begins with  a teacher who believes in you, who tugs you and pushes you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth."
They taught us A-Z, they thought us to say Yes and No, they taught us to choose, they taught to solve problems, they taught us to make decisions, they taught us literally everything... the small things when put together make this world.Actually they thought us the ways to decipher the world.


They taught us to heed our clairvoyance and do what we want to without pushing anyone else in queer.They taught us to make our own path and learn when we stumble and to raise again and walk rather than giving up.They thought us be versatile as there are so many things worth trying which may fascinate us and make us smile.


So I would say

 "They are the ones who modified the caterpillars in to butterflies."

PS:This is an essay of admiration, adoration with gratitude with the brightest smile I could conjure as a teacher has had an effect on me more than any one.
Happy Teachers day!!

 Thank's for reading
enjoy!

wiered ness of people



There is something so oddly beautiful about not understanding someone at all. All you have to do is picture it for a minute, and they could be absolutely anything, and no matter what they do, it’s always surprising.
