'म' तत्व | The 'Me' Element

Image
  " 'म' तत्व ( 'Mah' tatwa ) " or "The 'Me' Element" I was pondering upon myself when I realised there was someone beside me. A little surprised, I asked"Who are you?" They replied,"I am you." The facial,bodily details matched. So did the voice. I was surprised. "Then, who am I?" I asked. "You are you as well." Replied another voice. Their facial details, voice and everything matched with me as well.  As I asked more questions, more people started showing up who looked, felt and sounded just like me until the seventh guy answered, "I am me". Everyone else had been saying "I am you" till then. This was a little amusing. I had by then realised that somehow I had manifested different forms of my ego into seperate forms of existence for themselves. One claimed to be my ego, other claimed to be my humor, other to be my logic, other my grief and so on. They were all just me, part of me atl...

An imperfect guide to happiness

 Cut to the chase. No petty introductions as this is already gonna be too long. Let's try to talk about things that could make us happy. A relatively easy, one-day exercise for happiness.(Not really, and possibly with lots of flaws. But hey! It works for me!)  3, 2, 1... GO! As you wake up, tell yourself that "Nothing is gonna bother me today!" And you smile. No matter how fake it is, smile.  Be helpful that day. Do things that will make people near you happy. Be kind. Be with people you love. Talk with old friends. Talk about old stories, happiness and memories. But being too much of a yes man and giving too much time to others, one might feel like s/he has no time to give for themselves. And that's miserable.  Give time to think about yourself too. Try to find a balance. Do things that make you happy. Eat your favourite food. Go pay a visit to your favourite place. Listen to your favourite songs. All these basic things everyone tells you to do. Now here's my act...

What more is our life than a theatrical dance?

 Sometimes we feel like we have lost our way or we don't know what we are supposed to be doing ahead anymore. We frantically look around searching for clues, suggestions, hints, help to find out what we are supposed to do, where we're supposed to go. "Hey please tell me where I'm supposed to go!" we ask to another forlorn mess searching for their own way themselves. But if we take a certain time to stop chasing and look behind, we find ourselves in a place or situation completely different from where we started. We have been making some progress afterall! But we just don't know where from and where to. We just dance. Move forward and dance. Pretend like we know what we are doing and keep going on that performance. Make it a grand, spectacular show to fool everyone into believing that you have figured it out. Including yourself. You perform. You perform until nobody wants to see you perform. Or maybe you still perform even when nobody wants to see you perform. ...

Relationship these days

  Everyone is in a rush to be in a relationship with someone, date, feel the body, kiss, have sex, feel that passion of strange kind. It's good actually, but many do it staking their own peace. It's not just for the lust actually, it's to feel accepted, to be heard, to be shared.. to be happy. But at what? Some do it over their own misery. Do it if it makes you happy I guess, but not over someone else's misery or just to bury your own. Not having the key to your happiness is pretty much scariest thing, and completely giving up that key to someone without you yourself having any kind of master key is asking for a perpetual mess to surround you in a devastating way. I don't think it's wrong to wait. Maybe in vain, but I'd rather know for sure that rock is solid than rush things up and end up having the building collapse upon me some day. I don't mind being single and I wish my next relationship will be my last.
