Blind Date, eh?

If someone asks me, how does the idea of going on a blind date sound?

I would say... Interesting but not very practical.

Imagine if the date turns out to be totally boring? 

There are so many weird kinds of people in the world. What if my date is a serial killer or some psychological maniac? What if he is a terrorist or a spy?

Well, the probability of these things happening might be very low but am I ready to take that risk to meet a person without knowing whom I am meeting. Especially, when we wouldn't be able to scan their social media profiles before we meet, or chat a bit to check if the person is trustworthy, interesting and not a creep or pervert.

The next question I am asked is what if you go out on a blind date with the world, instead?

(Now, that thought is really interesting!

Exploring the world. I always wanted to do that. 

Will it have the same risks as meeting a person?

Well yes and no.

I mean, yes there are those threats of it being a risky place but aren't we at risk anywhere we are already? I would love to travel and explore the world!

The place might help me complete some of the things I have in my bucket list. I might even experience some things which are unknown to me. Like in a bucket list we want to experience the known things whose experience is unknown to us. Wouldn't it be more wonderful to just experience unknown things whose experience is unknown, ofcourse? That would be a first.

Isn't that just life? Throwing it's experiences towards us while we don't have a clue over what  the outcome is going to be and why we are feeling these unknown, unfamiliar feelings. These situations.. these firsts.. actually help us understand who we are as a person really. 

Self exploration to know the real me.

Umm.. all of this sounds inspiring, thrilling but am I open-minded enough to actually go about it?

Let's imagine  #TheBlindList

First of all, how do I imagine a blind list?

I mean I close my eyes and imagine..........

I am in the Cartoon Network world!

A land full of my favourite cartoon characters, a very very happy place, lot of children around. A world full of innocence and love. A world where the good guys always win! Games, smiles, laughter and so many new and weird things which happen in the cartoon world. A cat and a rat play and fight but the cat doesn't prey on the rat like in Tom and Jerry. A world full of stones but high end technologies like the Flintstones! And the most important thing a 2 dimensional world! A world where the third dimension siezes to exist. So many colours, characters I would greet, see and meet. Mickey mouse, Scrooge McDuck, Aladdin, Genie, Baloo and so many others.
They taught us so many things through their various adventures.
Laughing, singing, living lives joyfully, being a businessman or a pilot! This travel will be so inspiring. Back to childhood, would be such an enriching experience!)

😃that was a delightful and a thrilling thought! 

It would bring out the child in me and as a child I would know myself even better as they say, most of our personalities is hidden in the first seven years of life. That inner child in me will come out and I would explore myself while going about this new experience of exploration.

So, my answer to the second question after all this pondering is Yes!

I #SayYesToTheWorld to unravel the mysteries, overcome my fear of unknown, get inspired and rediscover my blind love for the world!

Keep Thinking! 😃

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.

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!
