Expressions : Freedom & Power

Do you have an unpaid credit? Think again. Don't worry, I'm not referring to your credit card payment due or any other bill for that matter. However I am trying to raise an issue, a crime, an unethical practice which happens a lot, with all of us but always gets covered up, ignored or left out so easily as if it never happened or it didn't matter. People don't even talk about it. I wonder why it even happens. We  know it's true and it's wrong, you do it or don't do it, someone else does it or doesn't do it, you are the victim or not but it's there, in the air. My head really bangs trying to understand how and why this practice is silently accepted as if it's normal or okay or kind of a "ritual".  The cause of these actions can be simply identified as to be in the spotlight, show power, showcase intelligence, beat the competition, claim that reward in the eyes of superiors, but it definitely raise questions on the ethics & culture.  ...

Let's start with, what is "Vocalism"? As  per the dictionary:- vocalism/ˈvəʊk(ə)lɪz(ə)m/noun T he use of the voice or vocal organs in speech. It seems simple and easy for many of us, like why even talk about it... Isn't it something any person does since birth, even if it's for just crying. Y ou are right. However, as we grow up, from an infant to child, then land into teenage and finally adulthood knocks the door, we learn or at least try to manage our conversations.  The ability & power of any human being, to speak is conditioned, modulated, influenced and controlled over all these years. Therefore we suppress ourselves in many situations.  Now many of the people say silence is golden, or it's better to ignore certain talks, any conflicts because they've been taught to do so. I'm sure whoever taught them this wished well, so no offence.  However, have you ever came across the moments when you felt like - I wish I spoke up, I should have raised m...

I really had to gather all my courage and confidence to write this, and a little more to share this with you. The world we live in is beautiful and wonderful, all because of the people we're living with. We share our lives with so many people directly or indirectly on daily basis, and we impact the surrounding lives too.  Over the years, I realized that a lot of things or events happen around us which are uncomfortable and disturbing to our minds, and yet we tend to live with it. This happens in all areas like personal, professional and social life, but we either ignore it or move on with it despite the feeling of unsettled. If you are an over or deep-thinker like me, then you might understand the feeling & thoughts we go through when someone behaves differently with us. These behaviour can be manipulation, selfishness, suppression etc. I don't know much of heavy words but I also go through this as a human being, a normal one like you. Someway or the other, we all are benef...

Do you have a best friend? Does your best friend care for you? Do you listen to your best friend's advice? Do you trust your best friend? Do you love your best friend? Do you encourage your best friend? Do you believe that your best friend chooses best for you? If the answer to all of these questions is YES, then for a minute, let's replace the best friend with YOU, yes YOU. Now  answer these questions. Are you a best friend to Yourself?  Do you take care for yourself? Do you listen to your own voice? Do you trust yourself? Do you love yourself? Do you encourage yourself? Do you believe that you choose the best for yourself? I realised over the years that many of us are extremely good friends, advisors, supporters, lovers, believers, caretakers to others but when it comes to our own self like our own challenges, doubts, beliefs and achieving dreams - we get lost, not knowing how to come out. That is why, after so many years and experiences, I realised it is vital to be your ow...

I witnessed a beautiful lesson sometime back.. I always believe that "nature teaches us relevant things at right time, in its own special ways." A hawk such a big & strong bird was stuck at the top of a tree, it was just hanging with one wing tangled and other wing towards the ground. A lot of crows started making noise on same tree, we couldn't figure out what was really happening. Was the hawk dead? Were crows torturing it? Why was it hanging like this? Then we realised the hawk was tangled because of Manjha (abrasive string), it's one wing was stuck and it couldn't do much, agonizing in pain. There was another hawk sitting on same tree but didn't move even a bit.. however the crows, they all came together, nearer to the hawk, honestly we were scared as we didn't know what were they doing... one of the crows came to the same branch where the hawk was tangled and hanging, it removed the string and saved the hawk.. wow..❤️ The hawk took the best of its...
