What is specialness but a belief of not being special? As I goggled the word ‘specialness’, something interesting caught my eye in its definition: the state or quality of being special; accompanied by an example: He was vain about his specialness until he realized he was really very common. It is very easy to be […]

At a deeper level, if one is able to see that all are but workings of the mind, that we are constantly being pulled by the nose; one has awaken to reality at least for that moment. Everything is mind-related -ideas. It sounds impersonal and yet it can get so personal because we tend to […]

An action manifested by one can be perceived quite differently by another. For instance, if one offers to be of assistance or support to another, it may come from a space of love and joy unconditionally, that even if the answer to that offer is a ‘no’, no sense of rejection or resentment may be […]

Last night, was a period of darkness for me after a light hearted meal with loved ones. There was much going on in the mind that it did not stop. I allowed it to run, to see how far it’d go. And soon, I was blessed with ancient feelings of betrayal and abandonment; totally imaginary, […]

So here I am, was. Why am, because I am, still; why was, because I was, then. I haven’t been writing these days. Not that there was or is no realizations, or information blessed into the abyss of my mind, just that I felt not any need to write, as if contented just for it […]

And the King banished his beloved daughter, the Princess, from the palace to become amongst the peasants so she may learn humanity and compassion. She was devastated and trembled with much fear. Her husband; of whose identity was only a commoner prior his union with her, and of whom she tortured with much cruelty; sat […]

Strangely, I’ve observed that there is this thing about dying and death in my space recently. It is either about a friend passing away, or a friend’s friend, or a friend’s relative, or a friend’s mom. Even in newspaper or one of my preferred blogs, there too was mention of death. When I heard of […]
