Audacity of dreams and capriciousness of reality

Audacity of dreams and capriciousness of reality

Dreams and reality most of the times seem like yin and yang. For one to exist the other must be let go of. Sometimes they just seem like parallel lines. Forever destined to travel together but never to meet or cross paths. At times, things just don’t seem worth it.
What I am doing here ? Why I am doing this ? Is this what my heart really wants ? At times the chaos and madness of it all just seems to defy belief and sometimes just plainly astound. The utter senselessness of it all sometimes makes one to chuck everything away and be done with it.
The dreams that you had in college, in school, the times when everyone around you seemed not so self obsessed seem like a lifetime away.
At times you feel cold... You just want to get into a small corner for a few days and curl up and be away from it all. Just let your thoughts run completely wild and just be disconnected from it all. Just you and your 5 feet * 5 Feet empire or kingdom that might be your room.
You would sometimes wish that time would come to a standstill and you could bask in the quietness and calmness of it all. The time where there is no past, no future : Just the present and you living in that present. That utter calm, the serene sound of absolute silence where you don’t need to speak. In fact by not speaking at all you get to express the most. Where the unheard and unspoken words speak the loudest

Somewhat like Kung fu panda’s inner peace... 
Reality sometimes may seem a very hard, mean and nasty place. It will beat your knees and make you stay there permanently if you let it. Nobody hits as hard as life. But the important thing is to keep going despite getting hit. Despite the seeming unfairness of it all.
It will never be a bed of roses all your life. But you can always choose to have moments of utter bliss in between the times when you want to throw it all away.
And to truly experience the joy that such moments give, you have to be able to take the very good with the very bad. Then and only then you will truly understand and treasure the value of those moments.
When the breathtaking becomes routine, the routine kills the joy an extraordinary moment brings.

Carpe Diem. The important thing is not to let the audacity of your dreams be overcome by the capriciousness of reality.

The Depp trial is the best thing to happen to #MeToo Movement

  Best impetus to #MeToo movement Look at NCBI data. ( link ) 52% men faced gender based violence Look at UK data. ( link ). More than 40% of the victims are male.  The Johnny Depp case is a landmark case in more ways than one. It will help the  #MeToo movement become what it originally was: A forum, a rallying cry for the victims of domestic abuse and way to speak up without being afraid of being shamed, ostracized or hunted. Origins of the movement. The #MeToo movement had started with a noble and just cause of giving voice to the women who were abused, survivors of violence and went through traumatic experiences.  It tried to give the benefit of doubt to the women wherever possible, be empathetic and also protect them from subsequent abuse by their perpetrators. However, soon it had started morphing into a medieval witch hunt in which all women are to be believed irrespective of evidence since no woman would ever do such a thing. Right ? #BelieveAllWomen #Metoo is...

Galwan is India's Israel moment

Israel: surrounded but defiant On June 5, 1967, Israel was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Syria, Egypt and Jordan had launched a full scale war on Israel. Israel was all alone with no world aid forthcoming. The very future of this tiny but proud nation hung in balance. It was all alone and it was a real possibility that the entire nation of Israel might be decimated.   We all know what happened. Israel emerged victorious against all odds.   Galwan: India and China Galwan valley escalation doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. Claims and counter claims are flying with little way of verifying either India’s or China’s claims.   While it is easy to dismiss Galwan as a one off transgression by China, it has been many years in the making. Nibbling away at Indian territory through dubious means, India has already (probably) lost a lot of territory to China through a variety of reasons.   India, China, Pakistan and Nepal It is easy today to get carried away due to th...
