Write right….

I love to write, yes that is true. But there might be issues about which one avoids writing…..afraid of those topics? Na, I mean its more about keeping silent to avoid skirmishes rather than being afraid to write! So, let me find out myself what 5 topics do I avoid writing about…..

I did not actually have to think much about one particular topic which I avoid…. IN-LAWS!!! My mother-in-law had issues with her in-laws, my sisters-in-law have cribs about their in-laws, my friends, sister, mother all have some or the other issue with respective in-laws.  And like so many other married women I too have a lot many issues with them but I choose to keep quiet! Even such a statement is going to cause ripples in the household, I am sure!! So, this topic is a big No-No…

Another topic which I am superstitious about is bragging about my husband or daughter and so I avoid ever writing it. I fear that some evil eye will eclipse my happiness and fortune! In Hindi language it’s called “nazar lagana”. So, another no-no topic…

Gossip, is another topic that I avoid writing about. It might give a sadistic pleasure for some time but it totally mars our own reputation which is a very precious thing to lose…

Right or wrong ; I might find some issues wrong but they might be right for somebody else. Though as a good friend, I should check my friend from doing wrong but  if I start preaching on rights and wrongs then it would be the sure shot way to lose many friends. And I am afraid to write anything which may sound preachy…

One such topic which again I try to avoid is Tips on Blogging !! Ha, now that is one such thing which a lot many people write about and since the day I started blogging, I have read so many and they seem copied from each other. Since I am no expert and still struggling to draw readers to my blog, I better avoid such writing!!

That is it then; my five scary topics. The best thing to do then is to always write things which do not hurt anybody because we cannot take back the words once spoken and the hurting words get written then its doomsday ………

So, the mantra is ” Write Right….”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Comfort

To me comfort is a company of someone who just hears out my troubles and doesn’t start enumerating my follies or ways to what I could have done to save myself from troubles ……. What better than a Soft Toy!! And once I pour out my heart I find more comfort in letting the moment pass….. I think deep and hard. Awhile later I am full of beans….again !! They say a mother’s lap is most comforting but a tired brain and body can find comfort anywhere…

Dreams…

Of late I have become a sound sleeper(not that earlier I was a sleeper making sounds!!). May be I am so tired that the dreams do not dare to disturb me now.  But till about a year back I used to have an adventurous sleep with a medley of dreams almost all nights.

It is said that the dreams are the events which the  subconscious mind records and displays in form of dreams but I have no idea why this particular dream of mine recurred every time. I could find no connection of the dream and the events of the day… In fact if somebody can interpret dreams, I would like to know the  meaning…

The dream always had a small ant sized me pushing a boulder upwards on a slope. There always was dark all around and as the ant reached on top, lot of big boulders appeared from nowhere from all sides almost crushing it…. and then I would wake up. That’s it and this dream always used to be the same!!

I have had a happy childhood, a doting sibling, a pet, friends, good grades in school, enough play time in the evenings, a happy marriage, an adorable daughter and generally life has been good to me. What could have triggered such odd dream is beyond my comprehension….

Now with the topic idea by DailyPost I could actually put this in words but the dream still doesn’t make sense to me. Any clue anybody?!!?

Ha, maybe the desire to be a super-efficient, know-all, do-all woman conjures up dreams in my brain ‘coz I am definitely no hulk to lift any boulder!!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Sunset

Seaside sunsets mostly look the same but there always is a fresh breathtaking beauty every time. And one cannot stop from capturing it again and again. Our trip to Andaman Islands was made memorable not only because of the snorkeling but also because the clean sea with its gushing sound was devoid of  man-made noises!

The palm skyline in Puducherry(earlier known as Pondicherry), India, again made us marvel at the divine creations that the nature offers and we had to capture this one too!

All is fair in love and war…..

Much often used phrase, but mostly to camouflage a wrong action. But in its real context it sure is true!!

War….. to begin with, in itself is not fair as it brings pain to all involved whether an enemy or the defendant. Love, is what should be there between all humans. But that’s an idealistic thought which in today’s world is unreal due to loss of trust on each other.

War against terror; killing Osama Bin Laden….. now isn’t that  fair? All the fanatics, of any religion for that matter, if resort to forcing their thought, belief on others and end up terrorising people, then a war to stop them by any means is FAIR!

War to defend honour,that too is fair! Killing for fun, due to hatred or for money  is but, unfair.

And Love is definitely fair too, the unconditional, selfless love! A mother’s love is the most unselfish love and if she has to protect her child from any harm she might forsee by whatever way she can think of, then that too is FAIR!

An obsessive love which leads to somebody getting hurt physically or emotionally is however not fair.

It all depends on each person’s perspective. Like Laden was convinced of righteousness of his actions so he waged a war and obsessive lovers feel their obsession justified…

I guess then all is fair in love and war!

Metamorphosis….

I vowed to be a loving consort,
Thru’ thick and thin,
An emotional comfort,
So I wash and clean
And cook,
Forgetting to stop and look…
That desire in your eyes,
Which like a flickering flame,
Dies……
Wasted and frazzled
As I retire to bed…
Night sneaks to claim
Where you lay,
From me,
Taking you far, far away!
Then, a reflection so strange,
Implores me to change…
So I primp and preen
A fragrant room,
And Satins so clean
Ah, and I see the fires
Burn up again so bright…
Love and longing
Filling the night…
My Metamorphosis………….
 

(How do I change habit?)

I am posting every week in 2011!

I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now.  I will be posting on this blog once a week for all of 2011.

I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring, awesome and wonderful. Therefore I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Signed,
