Corontine.. Isolation.. aren't we already alone?

The dark side of humans is a well known fact. The damage we have done to the environment, the damage we have done to so many species of plants and animals, and the damage we have done to us in turn is all known to us. In times of calamity like an earthquake, volcano eruptions, famine, floods, tsunami, storm, hailstones, heavy snowfall, and in times of man made calamity like the acid attacks, murders, rape, firings, shootings, bombings, nuclear bombs, we all, the human race, starts dreading for our lives and start repenting for the mistakes we have made. When we fall sick, be it the normal fever, or an infection or pneumonia, malaria, dengue, cancer, heart attack, we start living by each day as it comes, wait for us to heal and to get back to our "normal" lives. And there our many others among us living each day battling basic ability to see, hear, read, walk, talk, have difficulty in limbs, have difficulty in peeing or pooping or doing even in the lame day to day tasks which we take for granted. We the humans of 21st century are the most selfish, thankless, materialistic, hoarders, loathing creatures in the whole human history. We talk about technological innovation, the economy it's boost or the recession, third world war, movies but not about kindness, love, compassion, human values. "Man is the only species in the planet, who kills another man"!

At this time of isolation, at this time of quarantine, at this time of  spending time at home, instead of focusing of all the good things in lives, of all the things we have been fortunate to have and are blessed to take for granted, what we focus on? Politics? Economy? Belittling someone, laughing over someone who is scared to death, or even boasting about how India is in a better state than Italy because of our "immune genes"!  We are still this condescending, only grown physically adults but mentally still those bullies in school who enjoy the sadistic pleasure over someone else's misery.

Somehow the philosophy we 90's kids know from the famous song "Ek pal ka Jeena" that we have come alone on this earth empty handed and will leave one day empty handed without taking this materialistic world with us, is seemed to have forgotten!  Each and every day with all the social media pictures, the statuses, the travel stories, the onsite opportunities, the new clothes, the new phone, the money we earn, we keep spending it. We do not save it for the rainy day because either we are too much into "Living in the moment" or we are too busy shopping for something we always seem to need without even thinking about whether we really need it, why do we need it and what impact it is going to have on the environment, our children, or all of us in terms of our health.

Be it the car, or the best car which uses maximum engine and travels minimum distance, emits maximum pollution, or the air travel we keep doing for our holidays which amount for a major carbon footprint or even in the plastic bottle we just buy because we are thirsty and are so hygienic that we refuse to drink the running water from a tap. Each person can think about everyone else, and be compassionate towards others by talking softly, trying not to hurt somebody else's feelings just because you are hurt, or angry. We do not know struggles of any one and we cannot judge a book by it's cover.

Now, that we are at home, we still can't do that without throwing a tantrum, without being impossible to handle, without being lazy, without being irritating, without abusing someone random on the internet, without trolling someone for their stupidity in the name of awareness, without the self loathing of how great and good we are and how stupid and idiot other people are.

We all are humans!! We make mistakes, we are stupid and we need to accept that about each other. We can only keep learning and keep getting better. As humans, we keep learning, keep experiencing and keep getting better every day. Some people consciously try to do it and some do not but we still learn. Punishing someone for their state of mind or for the way they reacted because they were not thinking is a way for them to correct themselves and not let it happen again but what's done is done. Instead of torturing another human, we can concentrate our energies into making this situation better. Talking about it helps, but emotionally targeting someone is not going to help anyone.

We are so used to people, quarantine is not something we do when the calamities occur. Our instinct is to be close to loved ones, help one another, be there for each other's support, hug / kiss our loved ones and tell them every thing will be alright. But this is exactly opposite of what our instincts tell us. We have to stay away. We have to be alone and stay where we are instead of moving countries or cities to be with family. But our instincts tell us to go home and what can you do about it? How can you stop someone wanting to see their mother and visit their motherland and a time where people are falling sick and there is no solution for the #COVID-19. We can only pray that we stay healthy and can overcome this

Life is a game and family is a team!

The ability to take your own decisions is freedom.

What about the times when that freedom affects others' wishes. When a member of the house just takes a decision without even considering the opinions of others in the family. That individual exercises his/her freedom but the other members to whom that decision affects feel powerless. Since they could not exercise their right to speech. What's it to cry over spilt milk/water? 

Life moves on. But again, someday this happens.

Since, they got away with it earlier they do it again. There are fights, clashes, resentments, all the family drama and yet again, life moves on. 

The bond grows weak but it doesn't matter since, family is family. Family stays amongst all crisis and yet again, this happens. 

Freedom of choice is a part of our democracy but what about circumstances when these choices affect other members. 

There are some decisions which go wrong and some right and family still sticks. Although, had it been a mutual decision the family would lovingly stick and not obligatory.

The least one person can do is give the respect to others by considering their opinion. They also have the right to expression. When a person is heard and not neglected, then even though the decision made is opposite, that feeling to be a part of the whole Process like a team, stays and the bond grows stronger.

A family is really a team of players. All the players have their role to play. Each player has it's strengths and weaknesses and we as a team can overcome the weaknesses and optimize the strengths. Yet, these simple rules of game aren't well applied in life and members are neglected with a rough team leader who doesn't even brother to take player's views into consideration and the whole team spirit declines. The overall mood and atmosphere of the play becomes gruesome and people just feel like leaving this team and joining some other.  The only difference is in reality one cannot or does not defy their own blood.

Maybe to become the better person or not to be the worse person. Maybe to just take life as it goes or maybe just concentrate on individual game. Players or family members keep playing, the choice is just to be the player. Some try to be the leader and try to lead the rest of the team with positive approach but well, there are still times when the main leader suddenly drops a bomb, a decision which again affects all and leaves everyone dissatisfied. Again, that other leader picks everyone up and keeps playing. 

Maybe, there is no end to this, until that leader retires. 

A new beginning. A new hope. You hope to learn from those mistakes and remove the scars of the old captain. Keeping the team spirit alive and supporting one another, and not give up.

Keep playing! Keep thinking!

Massacrenhas

Content is always important to me and without a right story which clicks, I wouldn't like a show/movie even if everything else works.

And after that how the story is presented comes in picture.

#Breathe on #AmazonPrime
What I loved about the show:

1. Background music and Track
Although, it reminded me of GoT due to the musical instruments used, the familiarity felt good. The music added that extra edge and keeps the mood and the feel of the show going.

2. Pace
The Pace of the show maintains the right balance of being fast enough and cut unnecessary scenes or dialogues and slow in places not to miss the nuances.

3. Narration of characters
All characters shown were presented with their back story and situation. This helps to understand what every character is going through and their mindsets.

What I hate about the show:

Only One:
Madhavan's beard- It perfectly added up to the character and maybe also helped in hating his character more.

Ofcourse, acting, story telling, ideas, dialogues, shots are very well done but I wouldn't go in knit picking since, I absolutely loved it and rated it 10.👌
I am sure there are things where each one of the team member wanted to do something better.

I am very happy after watching this show more, for the social message.

Please pledge for organ donation and even stem cell donation. I am a donor too.

Keep Thinking! Keep Donating!

Blame Game

Man is a social animal and being that we as people form societies, live in a family, work together, progress together.

Humanity is about helping each other and growing together. Solving each other's problems by not just looking at a smaller picture but actually looking at the larger picture from a bigger point of view.

As so happens, we tend to forget that and look at the immediate action or react to the slightest of things without knowing the implications.

When it comes to work, the whole aim should be to deliver with good quality and maintaining transparency in the system, so that all individuals who are part of fulfilling the aim are satisfied and encouraged to go ahead.

Somehow that doesn't seem to work. We don't live in the perfect world. When things are expected to be perfect at other end then isn't it a taken that things are already perfect in the start.

Yet, without a proper system in place things are expected to go proper and if not the blame game starts.

Blame game.

2 words and it is so draining to be in it.

It's like passing the parcel.

No one wants to take ownership.

No one will acknowledge a mistake.

Acknowledgement should be the start of it. Here's where we went wrong and this will not happen and for that a proper process will be followed.

Systems are available, so many tools are available, freely in the market but they are not being utilised.

People don't want to accept the change.
They don't want to do a direct communication of a finding. They just want to save their own a**.

This monetary world is making us slaves and bad people without us realising. We are unnecessary troubling fellow humans and increasing everyone's stress levels.

In today's world, people aren't stressed because they have lot of work. They aren't stressed because they are incapable to do it.

The stress is due to unnecessary mental pressure which is due to this blame game.

'Raghukul reet sada chali ayi pran jaye par vachan na jaye'.

Words have no meaning unless they are written.

'Likh ke do'

And yes, because when the blame game starts, how to prove you are innocent?

Even in court, when even the judge can understand that who is innocent, a proof is needed to prove.

Because you are guilty unless proven innocent.

It isn't the other way round, where you are innocent until proven guilty. Even though, it is supposed to be.

Such is the world we live in. Is this really the right approach towards things?

Are we promoting a right attitude?

Is this how, we are going to progress? By blaming one another?

Why are we so afraid?

What is that will happen if things are transparent?

Things will be out in open and we can resolve them. Otherwise, it will just get messier and stressful for all of us.

Leaving us all unsatisfied, drained and miserable people who cannot look at their children in the eyes and teach them good things or look into the mirror and face this stranger who has forgotten being human, in this never ending race where no one knows where they are heading.

Keep thinking!

Heart and brain

Listen to your heart.

Do what's supposed to be done.

What do you really want?

Why should I message first?

How does it matter who messages in friendship?

Our mind fights within itself to decide upon such things of what we want and what we should do. What do we actually end up doing..?

Whether to go by what heart says or by the brain?

In most emotional relationships going by the heart works since we leave our ego aside and be ourselves.

But, in some circumstances, the heart is very selfish. It would empathise with the other person but still fail to accept and understand...

The brain tries to control it. Even tries to rationalize by reminding past experiences and lessons learnt. 

But, will we ever learn?

Actually, change?

Consider.

See someone else's point of view?

Heart v/s brain as we may call it or our mind versus our innermost desires. Who wins?

Who should win?

Whatever you choose, you have to face the consequences.

Either the wrath of hurting someone or the pain of your own aching heart.

What choice do you make?

Keep Thinking.

Gratitude

A feeling of 'Gratitude' 

The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

When any other person, maybe a friend, a family member or an acquaintance does something kind, this feeling of Gratitude fills up our heart.

Living in times, where we need to be realists; when we have been betrayed, used or just looked upon as an opportunity to gain something. When somebody does a kind act, it overwhelms us. It may not be tangible.

 A kind word, keeping company, spending time or treating each other as family. 

Small gestures, few words, big heart and open arms.  <---^_^--->

As kids, we get all these things without even asking or craving for it. People are just waiting to make us smile and take us in their arms. We don't have to work for it or even earn it. Then, when we start growing up, we start taking these things for granted and don't value them as much. 

We have things to focus on. Have a goal in life. Work upon it.

We have to do so many things. Perform chores, be independent. 

We have to grow in our careers. We have to work on our talents. Yes, we have to be there for the family. Give them time. We do all these things.

Some things we do for others too. Help them.

Do we really do it for them?

We are selfish beings and there is no such thing as being selfless because, every act we do, even though, for others, is a selfish act, as it gives us some kind of happiness.

We are honest and good individuals not just for society but also because we have to live with ourselves. 

We make ourselves believe that we are doing a favor for somebody or helping them by being there but, that's not really the case.

It is our desire or wish too. 

We want to be there. 

We expect the same from them, too.

We expect. We get rejected at times, due to priorities and we get hurt. We understand. We empathize. We may fight, too. We may feel let down.

We stop expecting.

We grow.

We become strong to these situations.

We don't change ourselves or our behavior towards our people but we accept the fact that their priorities and attitudes are different. 

We accept that they may not want the same things as us and we find some median if possible, in some cases and let it go, for others.

As we become realists, still believing in the good and kind, somewhere.

We try to be kind as much possible to try to make a difference, even if it's little. So, that our faith stays in this ruthless competitive race everyone seems to be on.

Then, there is this moment. When someone else does a kind gesture.

It can be as small as someone pulling a door for you, when your hands are full or someone lending a ear to your rants. Someone, genuinely inquiring 'How have you been?' or someone, lending you a book you wanted to read. Some praising you behind your backs, or some planning a trip or party for you. Someone, appreciating to your efforts or someone criticizing you without making you defensive. Someone, letting you use something they gave you for a little while more or someone,trying to encourage your talent. Someone, consoling you when you are down or someone, giving a pat on the back when well deserved. Someone, accompanying you for a movie you wanted to watch or someone, helping you search something like a job, house, phone, car, accessory or a dress you want.

So many things, our people keep doing for us, every day.

They encourage us, feel proud about us, love us. Most of all, they treat us as family.

They give us the most important thing they have.

Time.

We feel humbled by the people we have in life.

They are family. And, even if we have so many, we want all. 

It hurts us, to purposefully leave or not talk to someone due to any reason.

Since, it takes two, we move on.

And, every time someone does a kind gesture, we are thankful.

Thankful for keeping our hopes up.

Thankful for their kindness.

Yet, we do not express it. We know, we should. But, we don't.

When we do,

we feel blessed.

We feel peace.


Keep Thinking!
