The Cup of Life

  Note: Picking up words from different sources and stitching them into an article is not the motto. We chalk out practical and implementable ideas and actions so that we could grow step-by-step… Have you ever thought that a normal human brain gets about 65,000 thoughts per day? Most of us wouldn’t have noticed it because we are so busy in the growing world. Yes, we all agree that 20 to 30 years of age is when most of Indian children are supposed to be settled as per their parent’s advice and peer pressures. An interesting survey by the UNICEF in 2021 showed that 1 out of 7 students aged between 15-24 years of age felt depressed and lacked interest to do things. I think the main reason for this particular age group is the vulnerability towards settling down in their lives. People born in at the verge of 1996-2000 are almost Millennials age grouped and are almost in the middle of an orthodox viewpoint of families to the carefree and open-minded families. What we go through is somet

  We all spend lots of time in knowing what our loved ones want, we spend time with our friends unknowingly or invariably imitating their interests and their desires, we look at the surroundings and feel that what the majority of people like, is what we like… Have we ever stopped for just a minute and gave the thought of what we really want and what we really aspire to have??? In this Terabyte world long gone from megabyte and gigabyte, we are now running aimlessly under the pressure of peers and the society. Why do we now hate to be the same child that once we were long back??? Why do we look at the surroundings to decide something that we need, why do we actually care so much so that we forget what we really are and what we really want…? Is it not true that we all cried, forced and never stopped until we got what we wanted when we were a child? Can’t we actually be the same after so many years of living in a society of compromise and compensations. Are we actually strong enough t

  Have you ever wondered what is the true meaning of “EDUCATED ILLITERATES”??? We often boast ourselves that we are educated and that we have the royal taglines of MSc, MTech, MPhil, PhD and so on. Most of us even mock ourselves that whatever we learn in these professional degrees or not but the taglines will surely come in handy during marriages. Is the education only limited to a match-making ceremony or just to create an image in the village that we are studying more than others??? Its so unfortunate that we grow to have the degrees in hand but still fail to understand the true meaning of education. So, what is the true meaning or purpose of the education??? The irony is - we know to read but don’t know what to read., we know to write but we don’t know what to write. We are blessed with learnings of ABCDE but are cursed with the lack of knowledge how to use them. Why am I saying all these??? Just a single day of oppression and inequality can change the way we think. But do

  Truth is always bitter and hard to accept. Some are so fiercely that people know about its illness but fail to talk about them . U may ask what happens with talking about some of those truths which are kept abandoned from the reach of sensible people in a insensible society? Illness should be cured as and when it is felt. People cannot neglect the wound in the society only because it never happened in a place where they can see. Sometimes unseen and unfelt wound needs better care to make the society more livable and justified. The Illness I am talking about is the “Taboo” that we people carry in this society only because no one talked about it. By accepting the truth, we are free to talk about it. And with the freedom comes the rationality. And with the rationality comes decision making. And with the decisions comes changes. And with the change will the society run towards an equilibrium, in the hopes of a better world. Once my friend said, “I think we people can never attain

  “Everyone’s perfect in their own imperfect ways…” It’s a busy day and you rush between the crowd towards your classroom only to find yourself slipping and falling down to the floor at the very next moment. Now if you had a power to recap what happened second by second, then you could find yourself amused because – at the very second when you realized you were falling down even before you touched the ground, you were in the deep trauma about what the people standing around would think and feel. So now once you have fallen down, its obvious that you mostly care about how well composed you look rather than where you have been hurt. If it was the end then there wouldn’t have been a necessity for this article to show up. There is a sequel to this simple story where you go to class and think about who all were present while you fell rather than listening to the lecture that your favorite teacher is presenting. You invest so much of energy in thinking that the brain starts heating up an

  Every second, a star explodes and a new star takes birth. The Universe, the Solar system and the Earth are very big words for people like us who think very meagre. The sprinting world has become so overwhelming about the materialistic changes and developments that we people have forgotten to keep a check on what’s truly happening with us. Among those dreadful horrors of miseries, a particular character of us stands out like a joker face popping out of a surprise box. It’s something we ask ourselves and later pass the burden over to the God that we believe in… “WHY ME???” A new place in your life introduces you to new people, new culture and new gatherings until you leave the place. You hop, dance and enjoy to the fullest with those people around you and fill your memories with good ones as well as bad ones. This is where you feel people around you are the ones who support you and stay with you. After a while the time comes for you to leave and move to a new place and there starts

  In the new age of short-lived Reels and Shorts, articles like the one below might find very few audiences. But for those who do visit this page today, please spare a few minutes to read. Buddhism has a very unique way of understanding the life and one aspect of their life lessons is how we learn from our surroundings. The very pillars of life on earth are centered on the mantra of – Learn, Grow, Teach and Repeat. This is how creatures have evolved and have adopted to their surroundings in this vast luring earth. “ The Cup of Life ” denotes the very nature of life to understand and nurture the knowledge from the surroundings. All human beings are flawed and that’s how we learn and grow. But in the long run some of the characters and attributes like ego, self-esteem, shyness, anger and carelessness can create a barricade in attracting knowledge towards us. This is where emptying our cup comes into play – we should wear off our ill-senses before we try to learn something new from so
