Death

-
Today I attended an online funeral of a loved one.
It felt like us being together or apart doesn't even make sense anymore.


While in one view the life has come to a stand still but, in the other sense it is till rolling the dice.
Nothing from nature has come to a halt.
There are still earthquakes, floods, cyclones and other form of disasters hitting the globe every single day.

And then there is death.
Apart from the fact that death has become an every day news, (given that we live in COVID times).

It doesn't make it less difficult neither does it help with the feeling of helplessness.

But, it alarms us that all of us are walking towards the same destination, no matter which path we choose or which lane we prefer.

Leaving this world is inevitable but, when we leave there will be things that people will remember and talk about.
Some will be sad, some will be fine, some will be devastated but, there will be a few who will smile the very next moment.

For example the person I lost was a very dear relative. Everyone has something beautiful to share about her.
Maybe the story of her courage or her smile and most of all her helping and loving nature that was true for everyone.


So, my question to you here is,
When nothing is at halt, why are you?
You will leave something behind what will it be?

    Yes. Juhi, I have seen death from a very close quarters.
    Covid or no covid. How does it matter.
    Lacs die of cancer. Who comes to know. Slowly we have come to terms.
    So this is the time.
    Write your LAST LETTER.

    SINCE THE TIME I lost my dearest one, I always say HUG THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. TELL THEM WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU.
    Else, later on, it is a mere formality. Virtual or in person, you feel the heat.
    But you must not feel the guilt. Guilt of not loving somebody enough. For the time that they are with you.

Restlessness

-
Some people procrastinate, others are always on their toes. Then there are people like me who are always restless. In our daily routine we keep doing the same work, week after week and month after month, only to realise that we are not doing anything productive. We start criticizing ourselves and then keep on making plans with no deadlines and everything becomes so messed up like it was never before. We again move into this weekly vicious cycle of nothingness and restlessness. In this new world of COVID 19, it is hitting even harder, it is making people depressed, and taking the depressed ones to borderline threat. To themselves and others. This destructive environment is pushing people to the edge. So it's become very crucial to talk to one another. Ask for help. Offer help. And most importantly just do nothing and listen. Not just because the other person will be able to say what he or she is feeling but, also because this will help them feel in control. The re...

Negative Vibes

-
Image
We often judge people in the first meeting. Basis on how they act, what they say and most importantly the tone that they use during the first conversation helps us decide if they are positive souls or negative ones. Is their aura pure or impure? Our vibes are defined by what we are in this life but the aura is something that is our subconscious behavior which is developed many lives ago. We can't do away with it but we can change it or add to it. Many a time we feel sad and depressed in our life not knowing what the reason is. These sudden changes in the mood are a reflection of the aura or the vibes we are surrounded with. How to do away with these? Well,  sometimes the people that give us such vibes may be our family or friends. Which makes it hard to just leave them and move on. In such cases, we need to make ourselves strong and keep moving forward towards a better life than what we will have if stick with such people. There is no harm in wanting a better...

Life is tough and so are you.

-
You have gone through so much and yet have always surfaced as a champion. The amount of work that you do or the amount of pressure that you take only makes you stronger each time. Let life throw stuff on you, its okay, its natural. The important thing here is to keep moving. I don’t want you to take a leap at once, all I want for you is to take the first step. Take a step towards a better you, take step towards a beautiful you, take step towards a humble you, take step in the direction that leads you towards the real you. Stop pretending to be someone you are not. You are not a soft toy that can break on one stretch. You are a metal ball that has the power and strength to make an impact. You don’t need to be too hard on yourself. Its life let it take its course. You were chosen to be born from a billion options, you endured the pain of labor with your mother, there is no reason for you to feel weak at this point. It is just a phase and you are capable enough to take that on...
