Drape that Saree

RESET! RESTART! REWORK! WIN IT!! 


Yet another fussy morning, where I am caught in the vicious circle right in the morning, woke up late!! No light!! Couldn’t shower because “andhere mein to darr lagta hai” and the series followed by other drastic events and above all the show stopper for the day was this beautiful blue and charcoal Grey Silk Cotton Solid Saree with a Zari border!! Which isn’t ready to be draped around at all!! Just because it is new it has got all the rights to annoy!!
YES!! This long description was of utmost significance because I am the kind of person when I get frustrated, I write a 200-word letter and 5 pages and remember the tiniest detail of all the events right from the 90s to 2019 and probably I might include future projections as well!!

Saree carries an air of attitude, but what if it gives you back one?? Draping saree this morning was exactly like having it!! For 23 minutes to be precise, after creasing it out at 20 different places from tucking it from sides to managing front pleats to deciding to keep a falling pallu or to give it a nice formal pleated look, it was all a chaos. Something was not right!! Either it was me or definitely, the saree has to take all the blame!!

It was after a few minutes of hassle and a constant frustration that I realized, at times how difficult it becomes to clear out an unnecessary clutter around us and we constantly try to mend the clutter falling in only to invite more impatience and intense frustration. No matter how hard I tried, this saree wasn’t willing to give up at all.

Clearly, my efforts weren’t paying me enough, thought of giving up!! Something we all are taught not to do!! To give up is the failures trait!! Or to give up is the idea of the loser!! But there are times when to give up is the only solution!! If at all you know for what you’re giving up. I gave up on the efforts for a piece of mind, for a fresh start and a better ending, right at that moment an idea struck
And there struck a super solution to all the worldly problems if something takes more than 15 minutes to sort, why to waste more?? It definitely needs the much functional “ONE MINUTE BREAK” and the willingness to start “ALL OVER AGAIN”.
After the much needed one-minute break, saree was un-draped and draped all over again!! VOILA!! And the saree was back to its best in no time!! This isn’t magic, nor this is some trick!! When we are frustrated and we try figuring out solutions, all our brain does is to revolve around the mess!!

Here we come up with another trick “RESET & REWORK”

Many a time, we understand the need to RESET and RESTART, yet somehow, we fail at accepting and implementing the fact that it is NEEDED. We have the ability to recover and reset everything that has distorted, the only thing required is the willingness to accept that it needs our brain also requires moments of RESET and RESTART.

Whatever, wherever, however, stuck we might be, try that ONE MINUTE BREAK, sip a glass of cold water, look outside the window, and RESET and RESTART all over again. It surely has helped me many times, must help you as well.

The Girl With The Dark Circles

Oh, they are precious! I love to carry them and sometimes flaunt them too. The best part of having them is they work as a natural human (Male) repellent too! These have given me a new title altogether, and people ask, why do I adore them? Why can’t we just be proud of something we’re born with? Why do you wish to get rid of everything that seems imperfect to the world? the more we are obsessed with getting rid of something and curse it, the more they appear and the more they stuck! Isn't it? Studies have proved it, and I have experienced this fact. Well talking of the craziest questions raised rather rumors spread for people with dark circles are the funniest ones. “she must be in a relationship, ask me!”, “she doesn’t seem happy with him”, “she doesn’t get enough sleep”, “She’s too much into book yaa”, “she doesn’t have a schedule.” “She’s too lazy to do something for herself”. My life is therefore controlled by my dark circles and people’s judgment and opinion over them, and leas...

Priority...? Must be self Love!

Whats' your Priority? Despite the fact that it keeps changing with time!   Call it some societal pressure; or call it her upbringing, perfection is expected from every sphere of her life, given any amount of stress or pressure, she must "know it all" is a wonderful presumption and as she ages perfection becomes synonym to her name... these expectations put more pressure on her to balance everything that she holds in her kitty.  Oh No! I am not a feminist, I would rather prefer to stand against "fake feminism".  Because I agree with no shame and guilt that men handle the same, probably the more pressure to be a perfect son, a perfect partner,  a perfect husband, and a perfect father, and it is understood so well, that the things are changing, new notions are building, perceptions are improving, point of views are being accepted yet what remains constant is a  question.. "ladki hai, kar legi?"  All We want is to ensure that "ladki hai,...

This too shall pass!!

This too shall pass!!  There’s no tear, there’s no emotion!! There’s no guilt!! Nor any blame game!  For somehow, I knew this, in some way or the other, I was preparing myself to welcome the change! Somehow, I was aware, someday this would turn out to be an uneventful end! Cribbing! Crying! Tantrums! Tears and lost energy!! Are easier to fetch!! Somehow, I know how to pack it all and name it “trash”! And that would make my emotions and feelings feel sublime! Since when caring for self, and being selfish became a crime? I wish to drift my energy where my universe would lead! That’s somehow is one side of the story, because the other says… That I will never miss you! Because you’re still there, in my mind, in my soul, so alive! That I feel the presence around all the time! My emotions are real! My feelings are prolonged and my love is unconditional, absolute, unrestricted and selfless!! Which I failed to impress!!  And even after all this, I wish to sway, to the land far aw...
