It was 30th

By
And I turn 30 this month… Well, sounds sad?!!? Oh, yeah! Honestly, just another birthday, but for other's sake one should react.
Still, this one is special. A journey of 3 decades (1/3rd of my lifespan, I know I will live longer), of exploring me and around, life is less stupid and more thoughtful.

In introspection, I see it blessing to be born to Parents who were not gender-biased. It feels more fortunate after witnessing Female foeticide. Then my useless Siblings are pain and fun. We just belong to each other.
Now this one is interesting. I consider myself half lawyer calculated from 1/4th by birth and 1/4th by working as my Dad’s sort-of-assistant while in school. Yeah!!! Feel free to get in touch. 
Few silver linings always excited to stand out in black foliage to make it easy guessing my age.

I read that you make habits for the first 30 years of life and next 30 they make you. 
As this making begins, I curiously await to see what unfolds.

As it starts, few things I learned. Like “Beliefs create me; Actions define me; Failures strengthen me” and my favorite - "Change is the ultimate truth". 
Attribute successes to Almighty and his people.

But but but, Failures are all mine. I don't want to share my failures; well corollary could be more relevant to say that nobody would want to be part of it.
Anyway, point is – failures are all yours, because the pain it causes you, can never be felt by anyone. Don't blame others for your failures. When you do that, you fail yourself again by ignoring all the effort you put in. And, if you can’t appreciate your own effort, how will you motivate yourself to succeed again.

Achievement is only exciting till it is not achieved. The only part that makes it exciting is Struggle.
Success is a milestone, but struggle is the journey that defines you.

Po says it doesn't matter who you are. What matters is who you choose to be.
Thrive for opportunities, keep trying without tiring.
All the degrees that you have or you don't, none of it stands on your way.
Only thing that stands between you and your dreams is fear of losing. Once you lose it, you get everything else. Easier said than done, but let’s try at least.

Quoting the great APJ Abdul Kalam – "What do you want to be remembered for?"
This will make you the Person you would become.

Life is a difficult Game. You can win it only by retaining your Birth right TO BE A PERSON 
– remembering the great soul

Losing the sense of self to find myself again

By
6 months since my girl is gone and I still dread that night. I don't know if I dread or still can't believe how 2 hours can topple your life equations. I thought it was just the usual summer heat, gave her curd, and water; took her on my lap, making her drink some more water. And suddenly she had hiccups or some shocks, and stool came out. We rushed to the hospital, and I held her. She weighed 17-20 kg. Not a lot compared to my Doberman. While taking her through the elevator, I could feel her getting heavier, and my heart sinking deeper with that weight.  Just so much heaviness, and madness at that moment. I forgot my phone, Akshar picked up my sister's car key. Her husband was coming with us. While we were just leaving, she came running with her 2-year-old, saying the door got closed and Coffee (my Doberman) was inside. And all of us forgot the house keys. We left, while her husband stayed to figure out how to open the door. We were driving to Aundh Crown Hospital, and Aks...

#MeToo embarrassed, ashamed, and Strong #MumbaiGirls

By
Those were the initial days when I had started travelling alone. For the first time in 15 years, I was travelling alone by Bus. I was anxious, worried if I will get down at correct stop or not. I would have asked almost 5 times to people if Ghatkopar station came, got down and I had no clue which way is station. Finally, I reach other side of the station and take another Bus, reach college. Wow! It is not so difficult Amrita. You can get used to it! I was wearing a fitted Sky Blue Salwar Kameez which was one of my favorites. While returning, Buses were not as empty as in the morning and I have no idea how to get into that. 4 Buses gone. Alright, need to get into that now, looked at people and next bus I’m in that crowded Bus. I’m in that fully packed Bus and touched everywhere, can’t say if it is space or intention. Ignore and keep moving! Now it is routine and everyday new story. Someone touching bottom, someone front. I can keep my Bag either front or back. I decide, it is ...

Distorted Reality

By
It's been a while and finally this is getting out of my head.  J I borrow this title from  'S teve Jobs' by  Walter Isaacson , because M anipulation sounded RUDE  L  and I have already been sitting over this topic for months. It is making me restless. Once my brother told me that as we grow up, we lose our innocence and start manipulating people to believe in our own ideals. I have been thinking over this for quite sometime. Does it come with age or this is our natural instinct? In our eco-system, many animals play dead or  camouflage  etc. (Zoology doesn't like me  L ). They are manipulating others to believe in their fake identity. I don't think they ever take classes for it. It comes naturally to them as part of their survival instinct. After all we as well are social animals. Although our survival needs are different, but instinct is probably same. Talk about innocence in Kids . Ummm?!!? They know how to ...
