Sky has its limits

Nothing is permanent in life. Today what you are so proud of maybe not be yours the next day. Today what you say will live together with you for the rest of the life, may not be able to withstand the wrath of a storm even.
That’s what is portrayed through the lines above in the quote.
You see clouds, you see the kites flying, birds fluttering across the sky, airplanes taking off, the sun shining brightly through the day, the moon changing its position frequently, the stars sparkling and many more tiny details than the words can describe. But, does it stay forever? It’s a matter of some time, maybe some hours or some days, and the vast stretch of the landscape over your head changes. Sometimes it adds more color or sometimes it gets dull. It keeps surprising you every moment now and then.
The water bodies all across which are a reflection of this skies paint itself in whatever color the sky wraps itself in.
Such is life. You cannot hold on to something forever and claim it will forever be yours. You have to learn to let go, sometimes. Who knows there’s a surprise waiting for you around the corner? Don’t fix yourself in one place. Learn to let go.
Look up above. Look at the sky….and sing the famous lines from Coldplay:
“Cause you’re a sky, ’cause you’re a sky full of stars
Cause you light up the path.
I don’t care, go on and tear me apart
I don’t care if you do
Cause in a sky, ’cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you
Cause you’re a sky, you’re a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You’re such a heavenly view,…..”
Sing along & stay happy.

Half-cooked stories

Some friends are unique.
Some we fall in love with.
Some we tend to depend on.
Some becomes a part of our life.
Some never leave us.
Some are there just to share happiness.
Some becomes a distant acquaintance.
Some are here to love.
Some we share everything with.
And the list goes on and on and on. But you can’t name all the relationships because it doesn’t need to be named always. You don’t need to give it a tag. The important thing is to understand the importance, to respect each other, look out for one another, be there in the most difficult of times and also to stand by when the other one is facing a challenging time. Try to be there equally at good times and also in the bad phases of life. We’ll grow together. Stay together. That’s the way friendship works. That’s the way things should be. We are all missing our friends in this phase of life. Social distancing can work with relatives but how do we distance socially ourselves from these friends? Trust me, everything will be over and we all will be again hugging each other around. A few more days. Just a few more moments to miss. Time will change. And all will be again back in track. Again time will come to make memories memorable and make some new friends. So next time keep in mind, enjoy the best of the moments with them, spend as much time as possible. Let go off your ego.
Grow.
Love.
Give a hug.

International Mother’s Day

*Happy Mother’s Day from Rustleofleaves89*

Today’s a special day. A day which falls short of praising her, celebrating her, or showering her with gifts. Lucky are those, who have that someone special to dedicate this day to. Our heart gets grief-stricken whenever we think of someone, who has to live without this special lifelong companion. So, we request every-one of you reading this, to celebrate this special day together and give those unfortunate people an opportunity to feel the warmth, care, and affection that you get. Because every soul deserves to get loved and there’s no greater love than that between a mother and child.
You are lucky to have her in your life. Thank Him always and pray for her. When you start taking her for granted remember the ones that didn’t even get the opportunity to call out ‘MOM’ in their entire lifetime.
So, today’s story is about having her in one’s life as a constant companion and also realizing the importance of that soul when she’s not there beside you.
Note: The story attached, has been written during the time when the author’s mother has been away for some time. Not everyone will be able to relate to this as the story is very particular but I hope everyone will be able to comprehend the emotion of this piece.

A very Happy Mother’s Day to all of you and especially those superhuman beings out there.

Gender-based locker rooms

THEY LABEL HER A “TOMBOY”
WHEN SHE BEHAVES IN WAYS “NOT FEMININE ENOUGH.”
THEY CALL HER NAMES WHEN THE
LENGTH OF HER SKIRT “IS NOT LONG ENOUGH.”
THEY EYE HER WHEN THE COUNT OF HER BOY FRIENDS
IS MORE THAN YOUR GIRL FRIENDS.
THEY FEEL THE FAIRER SHE IS, THE EASIER IT
WOULD BE TO GET HER MARRIED OFF.
THEY START ASKING QUESTIONS WHEN SHE IS 25 AND UNMARRIED.
SOMEHOW SHE IS EXPECTED TO BE WELL VERSED WITH THE
INTRICACIES OF COOKING, KNITTING AND OTHER CHORES WORTHY OF GIRLS.
FROM THE CURVES OF HER BODY TO THE COLOUR
OF YOUR SKIN ARE ALL ATTRIBUTES OF A SHELL THAT
ENCLOSES A BEAUTIFUL PEARL INSIDE.
NO ONE CARES TO LOOK AT THE PEARL,
BECAUSE FINDING FAULT IN THE SHELL, IS EASIER.

So, A Happy Woman’s Day to all those beautiful pearls, white, pink, chocolate, purple, lavender or black (and the list goes on) whichever colour you have painted yourself in.
It’s not about believing and assigning one particular day to be regarded as ” special” for women and then every day causing harm, pain and disrespecting them. It’s not about proving to one another who’s the superior one. It’s not about throwing stones and playing the blame game. It’s not about falling in love together one day and the very next day demeaning each other cause you both realise the purpose has been served. We are not here to praise any one particular sect of the society but to remind ourselves and others, it’s upon us and only us to keep the humanity alive. So that people can still have faith on us, so that the creator doesn’t have to repent on His/Her decision why had he sent Adam and Eve that day.
We should learn to co-exist. One cannot survive without the other. There has to be harmony within and amongst us. Doing someone harm or causing them pain isn’t going to change anything but only more suffering will be waiting somewhere around the corner for us. Be careful because once a legend said, “What goes around, comes around.” So why practice hate? If you don’t love or like anyone anymore it doesn’t mean you have to hate him/her. The person you loved once doesn’t become a terrorist if the feeling changes eventually. Grow as a human being. Cause love is the greatest religion you can ever follow. Respect others. Respect others choices.
Stay together. Stay safe. And stay happy because at the end that’s all that matters, whether you are happy or not?
Smile and let other’s smile.

Centre of a circle

1st scenario: She’s trying to make a circle, she’s focusing on her work solely.
She’s more of a reality oriented and less of a romantic person.
She’s worried about her presentation and the goals in her life.
She misses the human touch in her soul, probably she has been alone a long time.

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
(Probably the girl here is interested in this)
the formula used for a circle

2nd scenario: Now the second perspective is of the boy.
He’s kind of a helpless romantic.
He is trying to make a point and give a direction in the life of the girl.
He adds the human touch to the missing soul of the girl.
The boy himself is the center to the story.
And all he tries is to make her realise that sometimes in life there’s an intersection point between the circle where both of the individual circles share some commonality and traits.

So being different is not a problem but finding that intersecting point in life is what all matters.
