Listen & Feel ~ This week

SALT ~ This week ~ Listen


Sometimes it feels so great to be alive, while sometimes we just wish we never existed at all; such a harsh contrast for someone who is known as God’s most wonderful creation. He created the whole world but we human are different for He gave us mind. Our minds, the very thing that sets us apart from all the other living creatures on earth can actually be called the root cause of all the problems. We think, we analyze, we understand and we interpret – all with this mind. Like every action has a reaction it’s these very thoughts which lead to all other reactions like anger, jealousy and hatred. For every culprit there is a victim out there. And behind all those smiling faces there is a tear being stifled somewhere. Question – Is anyone listening to them?


Lesson Learnt: It is important to give a voice to our feelings. And it is equally important to hear that voice when someone Else's heart is giving it out.

PEPPER ~ This week ~ Feel


Life is so mysterious. We meet someone, we love someone, and we get attached. When that person dies or goes away we feel life has come to a halt. It does – only for some time. After sometime life really goes on. Maybe a part of us dies with that person but we are still alive.

We cry for a few days, lament our grief but somehow we get the strength to go on. It is something like WBC which stops the oozing of blood from our wounds. Maybe we have something like that to stop our tears as well. We think we will never get over this but we still do…we think we will die but we live…we think we cannot love but we do to be hurt again…..


Lesson Learnt :Nothing is forever. Neither pain nor joy.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
