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.

Book Review - The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

T here are certain books where you know you will like them even when you have read just 10 pages. There can be reasons behind it though, perhaps you have read the author before, or have found the narrative interesting, maybe the first para hooked you since the beginning or your instinct made you feel so. All these factors sum up what I feel for this story. It was too much to see Rumi long for the alter ego, meanwhile taking part in the worldly things where he used to judge and help people but from a distance. And as Shams entered his life, things changed drastically overnight. Meanwhile, there is a parallel story going about Ella and Aziz Zahara. These two stories intermingle in such a way where you can’t stop comparing one character to another. This book is all about love in different forms, it doesn’t restrict itself to romance but love between father and children, between two friends, between husband and wife, between a teacher and his disciples and between two strangers. There are ...

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...

Productivity & Time

“As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself. – Haruki Murakami” We all have been given this luxury right now to utilise the time at hand as per our needs, but are we able to do it? It seems so easy when we think about it but it isn’t; because if it would have been, we would not have been sitting in our living room wondering about either what to do next or how to get things done without being lazy. This lockdown has solved as well as created many problems for us. Where once we used to crave about the much-needed free time; now, we don’t know what to make of it. On top it, the added pressure of doing something productive is wreaking havoc in our mind. We all want to do something, learn something and some just want to chill (because that is the ultimate goal of their life). I wish I had that luxury too. Yes, I always end up using this statement because after every few ...
