Some unknown emotions

My Dear Reader,

Today I want to share something. I don’t know how to put it across, but it is bubbling up inside and right now I want to pour my heart out to you. Maybe you will understand or it will only fly above your head; either way, we both have nothing to lose.

You might be wondering what it is, perhaps it’s all in my head because you don’t even know me, but then again how does it even matter. At times, we don’t need connections to share something good, being positive is a good reason to stay connected. Isn’t it?

Let just say you have someone around and you are moved by their emotions and how they connect with people. There are moments where you can relate to yourself, but then there are those where you lack. Yes, I’m going to talk about those ‘where we lack’, ‘which we don’t have’ and ‘which makes us feel empty’. No wonder it sounds so depressing to not have something we desire. I wish I could have helped you with that. But then there are days where I totally feel for another person; whether one is in pain or happiness. I feel so blessed for them that they have something I long for. And no, I don’t get jealous rather I feel happy for them. It is a different kind of emotion where it matters more to you what they have rather than what you hold for yourself. Their share of gift matters more to you even if what they get is close to nil and what you get is in abundance. They will forever be precious that too not because you know them, simply because you recognize how precious it is to keep those things, those relations and those beliefs. This is when you experience joy in its truest sense because everything is not about you always. We pretend to be indifferent most of the times, but we do know how it affects us.

There is a sense of peace in it if you try to look at it that way. It is always easy to say, ‘Oh! I don’t share such thing with my people that person must be very lucky. If I would have that, it would have been a blissful feeling.’ Sometimes you can relish such things by uniting with others not simply by experiencing them, but spiritually as well, where you see what is going on and you experience a sense of upliftment.

Things don’t make sense, trust me they never do when they are totally opposite of what we have in mind. And I’m certain you must have felt this at some point in your life. So, are you better off than yesterday? Yes. You chose to be above it. You didn’t let it eat you. Don’t doubt yourself all the time, things will happen at their own pace. Your path is not going to be a roller coaster ride, but it will be bumpy for sure. Feel blissful for the people who bring out the best in you even if you don’t know them because somewhere they are the reason who made you stand tall in this world.

Review - The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy

There are moments when you just want to ask questions and sit beside your friend. You want someone to answer them for you even if you know the answers yourselves. When the answers come from someone you are close to, they look much easier to deal with than before. They make more sense whenever you fail to convince yourself. Such is the magic of good friends and companionship. This book is all about it. You will read all about love, kindness, tenderness, and courage. The book revolves around The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, as the title suggests. First, the boy meets the mole, and later they meet Fox. As the journey goes on, they ask each other questions which are simple but thought-provoking. You would want to sit and think about answers that you would have given or hoped for after you are done reading. It will make you wonder how sometimes the simplest of things have the most impact. My favourite quote from the book is when the boy asks, “What is the bravest thing you’ve e

Review - The Sound of Boots by Merena Toppo and Mansi Sharma

  It is a Covid lockdown story which revolves around a father-son duo. The book depicts several stages of their relationship, from their initial lack of communication to their eventual warming up to each other. It is a simple story that touches my heart and gives me mixed emotions of happiness and grief. We all had such moments during lockdown where we found our lost love towards our family and loved ones. For some, it has been a nightmare. Yet, for some, it represented a glimmer of optimism that transformed their life. This story gives confidence that everything is attainable with equal efforts from all sides. Here, the father unveils a few secrets about his life that he has not shared with anybody, not even his wife. And this secret reconciles the bond between them. Sometimes, someone who fears judgement holds so much inside that they worsen the situation. When expressing their fears is all they need to do to release themselves. It is a lovely book that encourages you to be more acce

Review - Starburst by Robin Pilcher

The book has multiple characters, which makes it very difficult to follow. However, once everyone has been introduced, everything begins to make sense. Set amid Edinburgh Festival makes the story more happening as every character has a specific role in the festival. It is fascinating to see how they unexpectedly cross paths. The book starts with Tess Goodwin, who works in the Main office, then moves on to other characters like Albert Deussuin, Angelique Pascal, Rene Brownlow, Gavin, etc. The best thing is each character has a unique gift and struggles to overcome, yet it’s interesting to see how they work together to support one another. Initially, you might be put off, but if you give it some time, you’ll get hooked. I believe each character represents us in some or the other way. When I first started reading this book, I didn’t have high expectations, but by the time I finished it, I was happy with how well-structured it was. If you are planning to read a light book, go for it. Ratin
