Being at HOME

Be at home! We keep hearing this all the time when someone wants to make us feel comfortable. 

Being at home is a feeling!

It's a a place where we can be ourselves sans the masks we wear...

Are we at home with ourselves?

I know so many of my friends were not during the lockdown. I got frantic calls from so many of them saying they were going nuts with themselves.

Why is it that many of us are not at home with ourselves?

Is it because of the mental conditioning that we undergo from the time we are born? To blend in to this facade called society? To fit to the norms decided my the mediocre majority who have no clue about how to live, but preach everyone on the subject at every opportunity?

There is a very famous writing in Hindi by a very famous poet which translates as when a blind man guides another blind man both fall in the well. 

I think that is why we as a civilization are just drowning deeper into our own shit! 

Because the people who are running are world are actually ruining it. We are going against nature and killing ourselves. We forget that the nature existed before us and it will exist after us. We need to learn to survive and adapt. Not with newer gadgets and toys but by respecting nature and her rules.

Only then can we truly be at home on this planet and with ourselves!

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...
