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.

Unplug

How often do we find ourselves feeling stuck, even in the spaces we once longed to be in—our so-called comfort zones? Ever felt like you don’t want to talk to anyone, constantly feeling upset, as if everything around you is falling apart? And when you try to express it, sometimes it backfires, and other times, it just makes things worse. A lot depends on the kind of people you’re surrounded by—whether they uplift you or take you for granted. And trust me, when emotions spiral out of control, it becomes incredibly hard to make sense of what’s happening within us. We have medicines for fever, headaches, diabetes, and blood pressure—visibly measurable conditions. But what about the struggles our mind endures? The most overlooked and taken-for-granted part of us is our mind. Yet, emotions like anger, frustration, anxiety, and sadness all stem from it. Maybe it’s time we start taking care of our minds just as much as we do our bodies. Maybe it’s time to unplug and Recharge!!  I rece...

बातें करो

Do you even know me!?  Sometimes people just knock your door, enter your premise they spend a few months with you and woof, there you go! They know you!! No babe! Trust me! You don't!! You haven't seen me in all my phases, you don't know how do I react when it rains, I do not like it, but I do enjoy the rains when it is in the woods, far away. With the right company along, I like it the most, all drenched and dancing! And I might not even want drenching and dancing in the rain because on some rainy days, I want to just sit on the balcony and sip my coffee. You only know what I've told you so far. The kind of personality I chose to show you, you have no idea what phases I've experienced in my life, how I've grown to have experienced them. I am a mature person now, but I like being the kid I once was. You don't know how beautifully I master concealing my stress and worries under my smile. No! You will never know if it is real or fake laughter! Because so far, ...

Dhal gaya din...

Dhal gaya din, baatein kuch adhoori si hain... This is what we all are looking for, isn't it? To let go off a day to bring in the breeze of the fresh Morning, the sunrise after a tough sunset. Each one of us is suffering from some issue or the other carrying the biggest possible fake smile which could hide all the tears and sorrows. A mask of bravery and strength behind which every personality is seeking some support some kind words and a pat on the back, ears waiting to hear "you can do it"! And here comes the ego, self-respect, responsibility and the position we all are sitting at from where none of us can afford to cry, to speak no matter how hard the heart is willing to scream and share all the grief with the world outside but the brain is way too logical to do that. IN PICTURE: SHUBHI KRITI SAXENA The solution to which is probably hidden in buying a car or a mattress, a right office chair or the clothes we wear, comfort is all we care but why do we rema...
