On my way to live a "long" life....!!!

I am tired. Tired of trying to be perfect always. Tired of being someone who I am actually not. Tired of trying hard to make everyone happy . Tired of holding on to a relation inspite of the pain it gives. Tired of hiding my tears and sorrows deep inside my heart. Tired of listening to other people's stories and problems and thinking each time.. "Do I have to be a listener always?"
I can't take it anymore. I have understood that however hard you may try, you can not make everyone happy.. There will always be some wolves in a herd of sheep who are always ready to oppose you.. To nullify your efforts.. To tarnish your image.. To make you fall down.. Your failures give them immense pleasure.. It is against these people that you have to fight...!!
I have realized that sometimes it is alright to shout and cry hard and let your heart speak.. That it is OK to let your sorrows out instead of pushing them inside..!
I have learnt that you don't have to be perfect always.. No one is.. It is OK to have messy hair and shirt improperly tucked in your jeans.
You don't have to pretend to be someone you are not just for the sake of others. Being original has its own damn good taste.
Its OK to be a bit selfish at times and to think about yourself.. To give priorities to your needs and desires.. At times, situations may also demand to be direct and say whatever you feel about a person on his face. Don't hesitate. Keeping feelings inside your heart is going to burn it up. Besides, "the person" won't have any idea about your feelings until you blurt it out.
I have experienced that it is better to let go off things at times. Holding on to a relation might be more painful than leaving it. The person went out of your life because he had served his purpose and was not required any more in your story.
It is because he left, that a space was created for better people to come into your life.
This life has taught me a lot and probably, has a lot more lessons for me in store. But, I am ready now, with even more strength than before , to embark on this journey... This journey of ups and downs.. Highs and lows... Good times and bad times... Each and every person I meet on this journey is going to teach me something I have not learnt before.
I may not possess huge amount of wealth... But this life will make me rich... My experiences will make me rich.. As it is rightly said " it is not the number of years you live but your experiences that make your life longer"... So, I am on my way to live a "long" life... !!!!

A salute to those "men" !!

Image
Yes, you read that right. A salute to men and not women. "You are a girl. How can you write like this? Where is women empowerment and equality? Why salute them who already dominate our society?"- might be the questions in many minds, specially women's. But, I am sure as you reach towards the end of this article, many heads will be nodding in agreement to what I have to say. That man, frazzled from a long day at work, who boards the metro in a hope that today he won't be asked rudely to vacate his seat by some woman younger than him. But, his hopes get shattered every other day, I wanna salute that man. The one who worked days and nights, did over hours, spent his Sundays on some stupid project at the cost of his favorite movie just to get promoted. But, a girl made it to the higher post merely by her smile or any other unfair means. Only if he could be "beautiful", but he can only be "handsome". The one who wanted to be a singe...

I'm not a virgin. Are you?

Raised eyebrows, protruding eyes, firmer grip of your device - some of the anticipated reactions after reading such a title. Virginity, as we know it, is the state of not having indulged in sexual intercourse. But, a deeper approach would relate this term to a woman's purity, her sanctity. Considering the second definition, most of us (girls) lose our virginity at a really tender age. Stunned? Read on. At the age of five, when the shorts that provided me comfort, the small pretty frocks that gave me the look of a fairy, the same dresses offered beautiful,naked legs to "educated adults" for staring. It is then that I felt impure for the first time, the first time I lost my sanctity, my virginity. With age increased the length of the dresses I wore. But, my purity was still adulterated each time I was catcalled. In a bus, a train or even a temple, they took advantage of the crowd to touch my breasts, squeeze my butts. The hormonal changes are supposed to be a natur...

...And they lived h̶a̶p̶p̶i̶l̶y̶ ever after !!

Fairytales are weird. They always portray a happy and perfect ending. Well, that's not true in real life. Everything you pursue or every story of yours need not have a perfect ending in real life. We are told fairytales right from the beginning, right from childhood. And that's how we end up with the notion that every ending is going to be happy and perfect, just as we'd imagined it to be. But, when the truth surfaces itself in real life, that's when trouble begins. All our fairytales shatter like pieces of mirror when realities are faced. Because, let's face it, every path you trod upon, every chapter you begin to write in the book of your life, need not end well, need not end perfectly. If everything were to end exactly the way you'd imagined, there'd be no surprises, there'd be no adventure and life would be so monotonous. No excitement/fear for the future. And that's what describes life right? - the uncertainties, the lows, the ups, the lo...
