Bad Posts

It is obvious that the social media wall is a reflection of the person's mind and you could have easily understood by now that people give it space to imbibe one experience, one thought and one thing at a time and make a point to respond the same way. But, it is not the same on all the days.
Some of the business, clutter or confusion imposed by circumstances do not provide the mind with either enough space to absorb the finesse of the moment rationally or do not leave it open enough to react reasonably, at certain times. The feel-good hormones go on a holiday. Then, despair, frustration and negativity quickly barge in and try to steer the stirrups of the mind. The same flower now appears ugly, the same lovely person seems irritable, the same soothing voice sounds like heavy metal, the same beautiful movie turns boring!! Thus, bad judgments, bad decisions and bad posts are also a reflection of the same mind that are backed by innumerable disturbances that skewed them that way!!

Oopiri

Oopiri..... not totally worthy of the breath of inspiration it promises!!
An interesting storyline that starts off well but becomes predictable as it gets disturbed by sentiment.
While Karthi looks completely at home in the character, Nagarjuna seems to be caught between indulgence and restraint (and also between make-up and wrinkles...smile emoticon )

Rehman is a redeemer!

On a saturday or sunday, getting done with the chores is the hardest thing. The easiest and the happiest option is just have an early breakfast and laze around! However, the clock keeps ticking, the message notifications on the mobile keep blinking while the mind is reeling around, thinking of the list of things to be done, but none of them kicking off the body to take the plunge!! The burden of the tasks settle down as monsters and mountains in the mind slowly sending us into slumber (I call it 'Snap'......similar to brunch, the drowsy way of dozing off between the night sleep and afternoon nap due to the load of heavy breakfast and long list of jobs)
I badly fell prey to this regimen today, but the savior comes as Saavn notifying me of the radio channel exclusively dedicated to the songs of the maestro. I just click on it. Swaying the body into motion, breaking the inertia, the player starts Matargashti…....karthu and prithvi enjoy the music and lift me up to join them in the dance....(they have failed to make me dance, as always)
Heer bhi badi sad hai......all the things clumsily littering the floor are replaced
Saans me teri..... dusting the shelfs and surfaces is done
Agar tum saath ho…..pressure cooker on the stove
Neevunte naa jatagaa and pataka gudi…….. sweeping and mopping the floor
Hey…..the house is spic and span and the mind is relieved in a matter of 40 minutes of Rehman’s magic!!
Now, when we have such a pleasant way of countering inertia, why could Newton only think of such a depressing and crude term to describe it, ‘external force’???

Women's Day!

Womanhood is in the soft touch of showing care,
It is also in the firm schedules that they never think twice to dare!!

Womanhood is in the warm embrace that she fills her loved ones in,
It is also in the cold shoulder that she gives to those who speak mean!!

Womanhood is in the sharpness of analyzing and adapting to situations,
It is also in the bluntness with which she defends against stray comments!!

Womanhood is in the beautiful looks that she presents herself to the world,
It is also in the ugliness that she never minds while cleaning up the sick ones' bed!!

Womanhood is in the long hours that she waits patiently for her husband,
It is also in the short naps that she takes while having to change diapers and feed!!

Womanhood is in the small things that she does to express her affection,
It is also in the big sacrifices that she makes to serve her people with satisfaction!!

Womanhood is in the way she argues and fights for what she believes,
It is also in the silence that she imposes upon herself while handling chaos!!

Womanhood is in the loudness of clearly debating her point of view,
It is also in the muteness while thinking hard on the solution to an issue!!

Womanhood is in the mild way she pats the child singing lullabies,
It is also in the hard way she slaps the co-passenger who misbehaves!!

Womanhood is in the labour to keep the house spic and span,
It is also in the striving she takes to prepare a business plan!!

Yes, we are the people with endless contrasts,
And be ready to accept us with these opposite natures!!

You can rely on us for anything to be done,
By any means, we are not less than anyone!!
We expect nothing more than respect in return,
We are the WOMEN, who proudly seize the heart of men!!

Happy Women's Day!!
