Fact vs. Truth

Yesterday when I saw trailer of movie Sanju, I had a second thought whether I should even watch the trailer or not. But I did for Ranbir Kapoor and it was worth watching. Not sure it was worth to watch for Ranbir or Hirani or Sanjay Dutt. And then I read the reviews today and maybe I should watch this movie.

What makes me curious about the movie is, how important it is for each one of us to tell the Truth to the world, Truth as we know or feel. 
Is there a single truth in this huge convoluted world of social media? 
I always used to believe that there is only one truth and several interpretation. That has changed recently. Everyone who has a story, has their own truth and truth can change.
There are only FACTS which don't change. 
Facts like when an incident happened, what happened, who were part of it. 
What is truth then? Now, Truth is how each of them felt during the incident, before/after the incident. No one is lying but no one states the facts.

When I go on Amazon and read reviews on a Product, I skim though 1 and 2 star ratings quickly because those reviews are full of emotions and very low on Facts. And these emotions really can get you.

Maybe that's why Truth has no value in Court of Law because it is full of emotions. And Justice can't be served with Emotions (remember Jury system). It needs Facts and evidence to prove those facts.

At times I wonder where are we going with social media accessibility, Internet offers so much anonymity that one can write any rubbish and I can't punch them on their face. It was easier earlier. You talk something (only if you are courageous enough), others will fight - someone wins, topic over. On Internet, nothing gets over. And of course that's traumatizing. I'm sure that's why Sanjay Dutt felt the need to get his Biopic out.

Internet, Social Media come with lot of better things and the worst ones. One of the worst one is the ability to make loose statements. I admire people who can speak Truth with their Face On, rather who speaks Truth with no Face. Such Truth (even if it exists) doesn't matter and maybe that's why such people are termed as Trolls or in older terms "Two - Faced".
Your Truth is a Truth only if you have courage to speak up. 
And there are and will be several other Truthful versions of the same Truth. However, the Fact doesn't change, unless changed/altered. 
You decide your own Truth and then live with it, fight for it, feel for it. Whatever you do, do with your Face.
There is No Truth with No Face.

Losing the sense of self to find myself again

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...

For the love of Coffee

4 months since my last blog, I so missed it. But was too overwhelmed to write anything. Do you ask why?  Flashback flashback flashback !!! I'm raised in a family where I have interacted only with humans. That doesn't mean we looked down on other species. Just that we did not love them enough to make them member of house. Only animal that I had probably touched and adored would be Cat. They seem easy to be overpowered, thus harmless. Yeah I have got some good survival instincts! Then I grew up, keeping safe distance from non-Human species on earth. Even safer distance from Dogs after my brother got bitten by a crazy dog. You know, biting is still manageable, but injections... I will rather take longer route. And the day came, when it happened. I still don't believe how, so let's pass on the blame to Destiny. I  brought home a pet Dog. Yes, i t does all crazy stuff. 1 month female Doberman. She (for me it's she, not it) was on my lap, lic...

Dogs and Wanderers

As they say,  Life changes when you have a Kid and I say, it changes dramatically when you have a Pet. I have 2 beautiful bitches which most of you already know. I’m one of those first-time Pet Parents who want to do little more for their pets than daily walks of Potty and Pee. Nothing wrong with those walks, only that I wish to experience the feeling of having a pet in a different way. I want them to explore, go on long drives, see beaches, get dirty, and spread love.  Daag achchhe hote hain 😋 The hidden truth is my bitches love going out, even if it is for the whole day 🙄. And that’s the vision for  Dogs and Wanderers .  The group plans free local outings over the weekend at different Tekdis of Pune and once-a-month pocket-friendly overnight camping.   Yippie !!! And Dogs and Wanderers   is featured in Times of India today!   We have a lot of Pet Parents interested to join , which justifies the vision of this group...
