When the Mind Introspects

The mind has been introspecting, rather contemplating and juggling over a million issues that creep into it’s sophisticated analytical wing. As I lay back on the sofa, life seems calm and unruffled on the outside. In reality my mind is pondering over numerous issues that trouble me. The events of the past, the events that may affect my future , the events that may affect others future, the events that matter, the events that really don’t matter- all seem to just rush into this little piece...

Anger: A Positive Emotion (a viewpoint)

“ Anger needs to be a positive emotion “, is a remarkable dialogue that I came across in a regional movie. More often I have only come across statements that degrade anger as an emotion that spells doom and most rightly so. However on the flip side controlled anger or aggression prevails in real life situations. Any emotion that governs an individual can be used either as a constructive or destructive tool. The choice is ours. Let me be clear that I m not in support of using anger as a...

When the mind is shattered

The mind is shattered. An unexpected change, an unexpected viewpoint, an unexpected result. I’m yet to come to terms with a certain action that has inflicted a wound that seems to aggravate with time. Varied thoughts lay scattered in my disoriented mind. It’s a moment of grief when I’m unable to decipher an answer. I’m for once feeling really low that my rational fails to cope with my emotional soul. In all our lives there comes a time, when we are unable to interpret the laws of human...

When the Mind Wavers

The mind wavers. There is a specific goal and the method to achieve it is clear, yet the mind wavers because of stray thoughts that intrude my emotional soul. The human brain is funny; many a times it complicates simple matters. I have been working towards a goal. All I need to do is focus on delivering my best, yet certain unpleasant experiences of the past pervade my mind, creating an analysis of the possible results. The permutations and combinations of the possible end results are being...

Those Blissful Moments

He stood admiring her beauty, unmindful of the maddening crowd. His eyes remained glued to her, while she was gossiping her way to glory, amongst a bunch of girls. She was bubbly, enigmatic and filled with character. The little lumps of flesh on her rosy cheeks blossomed like a flower, each time she blushed. These were moments of ecstasy. There was an unexplainable connect he established with this feminine soul that stood across the street, waiting for the signal to turn red. He felt like he...

When the Mind Is Agitated

The mind is agitated, emotions are running high. The very thought of being wronged-offended-hurt erupts an internal volcano that aggravates with time. Thoughts of politicization and distrust begin to take shape. Your angry, beyond bounds that you wish to remain aloof. It seems the world is against you and the person in question will never be forgiven. You wish to return the ‘favour’, by giving him a piece of your mind. There is a sense of insult that brews within you. “He shall never be...

The Mercedes Phenomenon: Transforming Dreams to Goals

It was about a year ago, my friend and I were strolling down Residency road when a sparkling black Mercedes whizzed past us like a bolt of lightening. “That’s my Car “he claimed, bringing back a cheer on his otherwise distraught face. “Leave alone owning a Mercedes, I do not have enough to purchase a new cell phone “, I cribbed “You may not own it, but that does not stop you from desiring to own one someday “, he claimed, “I’m working towards it “ The Mercedes Benz has...

When the Mind Is Confused

The mind is confused. The various permutations between a “YES” and a “NO” are being analysed. For every ‘YES’, there is a counter ‘NO’ .A war is being waged within the grey cells, an internal war called decision making. The battle is being fought between the “Rationale” and “Emotional “half in me. History has it that they have seldom agreed during a decision making process. ‘Internal Ego‘ fails to provide space for the other. Amidst their battle, I lay wide awake at...

When The Mind Is Idle

The mind is idle...rather I (as an individual) have been idle since long. Lot of work to do, a lot to accomplish, yet I remain idle. The thought of completing the unfinished tasks drives me crazy. As I crept into bed last night, I consoled myself by planning my day today. It’s been a good 12 hours and yet I haven’t done anything constructive. Murphy is laughing at me-“If anything can go wrong, it will “.  I care little for Murphy that I shrug away his thoughts. I cannot quote Murphy to...

A Life of Hope

Having a hair cut on a Sunday, every month, has become more of a ritual in my life .I end up lazing on the barber’s chair, while he goes about exercising his skill at trimming the overgrown locks. The typical Indian barber shop is a fascination of colour, mirror and light’s where customers step in with the hope of changing their style to “look and live” the life of a film star. As the client eases into the chair , he finds the reflection of a stylish Amitabh Bachchan, Ranjikanth and...
