Accessories- that love doesn't know.

Close your eyes and imagine. If you were to die this minute, whose voice would you want to listen to? Who would you want to see, and who would you want to take your last breath around?

Is it your teacher? You trust her with all the knowledge in the world, don't you? Is it your maid, who you so reluctantly hand over the keys to your home? Or is it the cab-service that you trust with all your travel?

Almost all your relations in the world are based on contingencies. But someone you love? Not at all.

You can love a person and want to be with them even without these contingencies. Betrayal, trust, looks, persona, any words you name, stand meaningless against one. Love.

Talk about trust and having your family members get up to check if they have the television remote? Truly, you love people you trust.

What aches is, that people don't understand that these contingencies are nothing but accessories, accessories that love doesn't know.

The monotony of being different

All my life I was told I am different. Sometimes it was appreciated, sometimes not so much.  I was told I had energy unparalleled, sometimes appreciated, other times not. Some people tell me how much they admired me, some said I couldn’t be understood.  Ever since I was a child, I was told being different is good.  In school, I was told different people tend to make better lives for themselves. In movies, I was shown that the protagonist is always, well, different.  These notions influenced my perspective towards life, making me crave the feeling of being different. Having said that, I was never treated like I was different, challenging my notion of me being “different”. However, sometime back I realized that I was never treated like I was different because no one wanted me to know how different I am.  Every time something nice happened to me, every time I said something exceptional, people tried to normalize how exceptional these things were. That is when I cou...

Privilege and Burden

The crown isn't just a mere ornament to be worn, it's a privilege and a burden.  For you sit with your head high, the crown embellished with precious stones, while the others bow. Privilege.  But, you can not look down, for even a slight tilt of the head, can make you lose the crown. Burden.  For you can wave and smile when thousands gather around to get just one glimpse of you. Privilege.  But you can't laugh your heart out when you find something funny in front of those same people. Burden.  But it's rare to find a person who can do both. The crown has the final say in everything yet the bearer of the crown doesn't have a voice.  But the true monarch can't be just anybody, because the bearer of the crown might be a puppet of these strings, but a monarch is one who controls everything. Smile when they have to, laugh when they want, hold their heads high when they have to but tilt their heads in disagreement when they want to.  Privilege and burden exi...

Circumscribe

For those who believe in themselves, it is a known fact that the key to success is acceptance. They like to believe that the world might not see them as they are, but it is their understanding of themselves that drives the world behind them. However, one would argue, what is success if you confine yourself within the very definition of you? How is it extraordinary to be what you are when the world is constantly asking for more? What makes you so distinct? What makes you think that it even matters what you feel about yourself? The world works on what is called the show business. One can never truly be honest and show themselves as they are, for that would mean showing the world your vulnerabilities, and that, in turn, makes you susceptible to defeat. So, the question prevails. Is it the fact that you accept yourself as you are and show the world what you are that drives your success? Or is it the face you put up, a mere illusion of you, that makes the world see half the truth, w...
