Ek Aur Musafir

Iss shere ki doode mai ruka hu mai,  samaaj ki bandisho se juka hu mai,  Chahata tha mai bahut aage badnaa Par aisa kyu beesaar hua hu mai?  Aksar ye sawaal jaga te hai muje,  Aksar mere khayal rulate muje,  Fir mere khawab yaad dilatu hu muje,  Khade ho kar fir aas dilata hu muje.  Fir ye geet duharata hu muje... Fir ye geet gata hu muje... 

Depression is not a Myth, It's a Medical Condition!

The Month of May has been declared as the Mental Health Awareness Month since 1949.  So, the first post of this month is dedicated in spreading awareness and raising a voice. Depression needs to be recognized and treated.  There are many people who suffer through depression in different stages or even throughout their lives without even realizing it. If you see the following symptoms in your dear ones or yourself, with a help of an adult, reach out to a doctor.   Oversleeping / Lack of sleep  If you don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning and stay there all day long for days and days or if you are suffering sleepless nights even after being drained out with no energy left, it is one of the sign of depression.  Over eating/ Starving  Eating disorder is also a symptom of depression.

Oh, Happy Day!

Oh, Happy Day!  Celebrations of Diwali in Town,  Rangoli competition in a ground,  Bouncing lights and beautiful sounds,  Oh, Happy Day!  As I start roaming around,  A hand made me terrified and confound,  A man took over the form of a hound,  Oh, Happy Day?  Strength and courage gathered I,  Shouted till on the ground he lied, Tears not of fear but happiness filled my eye,  Oh, Happy Day!  Even though I won the fight, Could not fade the face from my sight,  Haunted me for the past three nights,  Oh, Happy Day?  And than it dawned over me,  Not my skin but the soul touched he,  A bath can't make the stain free,  Oh, Happy Day?  So I took the pen and poured my heart,  On the paper in the form of art,  And now my soul has a new start,  Oh, Happy Day!

THAT’S HOW I ENDED UP IN THERAPY

It's the dark days when you sit back and see the reflection of what your life has become. It all hits you like a raging bull because we think all the negatives that could possibly exist. That is when we need to find the strength within ourselves, the strength that we ourselves have thrown away in the farthest pit but it still exists in everyone of us, the strength...", And the lady went on and on about it. I have been in therapy for about three days now. My father thinks I am suffering from depression. He saw me reading my mom's suicide note again. Yes, my mother committed suicide when I was 12. Time and again I take out the letter and read it, not because I am depressed but because I want to understand what made her do it. What had happened that she was left with no hope at all? No one knows why she did it. My dad was a marine, so he was away. I was at school. Was it that she was lonely, didn't seem so? I remember her with her beautiful smile and the way...

Elections for the Throne

Image
With the frenzy of last season of Game of Thrones and the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections all I could think is that these elections are just modern day fight for the throne over the Indian kingdom and below are some real proof Attached to fictional theories:  Hardik Patel joining Indian National Congress came as a shock to many the way Jon Snow bend his knee in front on Khaleesi came to the North. So, let’s assume that makes Congress the House of Targaryen and Hardik Patel from the House of Starks.  Well, before anyone gets offended let me suggest that his shenanigans were no less exciting than duty at Nights Watch or the rallies were as eventful as Jon Snow’s time with the Wildlings.  And wasn't he banned and went to jail or something? That could be considered as Jon Snow dying and now they both have reborn! Well, in that case, I think the Bharatiya Janta Party would be the Lannisters not that I am indicating that they are evil. Does that make Modiji Cersei, I w...
