  • Love and Time

    Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

    Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

    Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

    Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel.

    “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

    Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh… Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

    Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love, “But why did Time help me?”

    knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

  • The Enchanting Journey of Flutter the Butterfly

    Once upon a time, in a beautiful garden, there lived a tiny creature called Flutter. Flutter was a colorful butterfly with delicate wings that shimmered in the sunlight. She loved to dance among the flowers, spreading joy with her graceful flight.

    Every day, Flutter would flutter from one flower to another, sipping sweet nectar and collecting pollen on her tiny legs. She marveled at the vibrant colors and intoxicating scents of the blossoms. The garden was her playground, and she felt like the happiest butterfly in the world.

    One sunny morning, as Flutter explored a new patch of flowers, she noticed something peculiar. A caterpillar was munching on a leaf nearby. Intrigued, Flutter flew closer and greeted the caterpillar.

    “Hello there! What are you doing?” she asked with curiosity.

    The caterpillar paused and replied, “I’m eating and growing. Soon, I will turn into a butterfly, just like you!”

    Flutter’s eyes widened with excitement. She had never seen a caterpillar transform into a butterfly before. She decided to stay and watch this magical process.

    Days turned into weeks, and Flutter visited the caterpillar every day. She watched as it ate and grew bigger, shedding its old skin several times. The caterpillar was patient and determined, even though it couldn’t move as gracefully as Flutter.

    Finally, one day, Flutter saw something incredible. The caterpillar had stopped eating and attached itself to a branch. It began to spin a silky cocoon around its body, carefully encasing itself in a protective shield.

    Flutter couldn’t contain her excitement. She knew that inside the cocoon, a marvelous transformation was taking place. She patiently waited, fluttering nearby, eager to witness the caterpillar’s magical rebirth.

    After what seemed like an eternity, a tiny crack appeared on the cocoon. Flutter watched in awe as a beautiful butterfly emerged, stretching its delicate wings and slowly drying them in the warm sunlight.

    The newly transformed butterfly looked at Flutter with gratitude. “Thank you for believing in me and staying by my side,” it said, its voice filled with joy.

    Flutter smiled, realizing that she had witnessed a miracle. She had seen the caterpillar’s journey from a humble muncher of leaves to a magnificent butterfly. It was a testament to the power of growth, change, and believing in oneself.

    From that day forward, Flutter and her new butterfly friend explored the garden together, dancing among the flowers and spreading happiness wherever they went. They cherished the beauty of transformation and the wonders of nature, knowing that with patience and perseverance, anything was possible.

    And so, the garden became a magical place, filled with the enchanting flight of Flutter and her newfound friend—a testament to the extraordinary journey of a caterpillar turned butterfly and the joy they brought to the world around them.

  • Mid night thought 

    And when a man is broken from inside, 

    He starts smiling more than the load.

  • Blue 

    *silence* Everything feels cold, I feel like I’m surrounded by something and I’m…..”WATER!!” A gush of panic takes hold of me letting my survival instincts take over me. I frantically kick my legs and flail my arms around to get to the surface. “Why am I breathing…”, I just notice the air bubbles rising from my nose. It’s a mayhem in my brain. There’s water all around me, and somehow…. SOMEHOW, I AM BREATHING UNDER WATER!

    My situation is a strange one right now, I am surrounded by water it feels like I am drowning in a giant ocean of some sorts, but am I really drowning? The last thing I remember was staring at my mail folder for the design requirements of the upcoming car, but my memory feels hazy after that.

    “I was starting AutoCAD and then my Soul asked whether I wanted a cold coffee.” “HUH?!” I screamed as a new fear implanted itself in my mind, my wife is she also trapped in this ocean? I look around trying to search for her but all I could was constant emptiness or rather the empty ocean. “This is strange”, there weren’t any fishes around, “What is this godforsaken world, where is Soull!!”

    While I am nervous about what’s going on around me and overthinking about the worst of situations, I heard a faint call following it my eyes wondered to the bottom of the ocean where I saw it. “Light?” it was sparkling so bright to be coming from the depths of ocean. “Maybe an underwater exploration vehicle”, I mustered up my hopes thinking that there maybe be a chance to find out what’s going on or rather optimistically “get rescued”, I muttered.

    It was really different, somehow, I felt attracted towards this light as I kept following it, swimming deeper and deeper and the light grew brighter and a smile escaped my lips as I reached out my hand towards it as if it was calling me to itself. “Good morning.…”, a bright flash enveloped me, it was then I looked at them those deep and black eyes of hers, my home. My Soul was cradling my head on her lap. “What were you doing”, she looks at me with her very old smile the one that captures my heart every time I encounter it. “I was……”, I paused and looked at her,”….drowning in your eyes.”

    “Oh stop with those cheesy lines.”, she giggled as I proceeded to hug her and let my exhaustion take over me again. “Time to sleep I guess”.

  • Man Ki Baat

    Thoda Rukh idhr bhi kariye, baitha hai koi apke intezaar me

    Itna bhi kya rukhsat hona, itni bhi kya mashrufiyat..

    Thoda zikr hamara bhi ho, do batein hum bhi krein,

    thodi khwahish hai guft-gu ki,

    Aap aayenge humare paas bhi ek waqt lekar, baitha h koi iss iqrar mein!!

    Yun to ek pal bhi sadiyon sa lgta h apke intezar mein,

    Baithe rehte h hum raah nihare, kabhi aayenge aap paas humare

    Fir aapke aane se, ek arsa bhi nikl jata h apse taqraar me..!!

    Uff ye kambakkht raat kaise guzregi

    Ab to bss ye tere khayalo se milegi

    In bebas ankhon ka kya kasur, ye to bs ab tere didar ko tarsengi..

    Ye nind bhi ab to mujhse ye keh ke chli gyi ki.

    Jis awaz ko sun ke hum aate h, aaj wo nhi suni, to humari tumhari aaj baat nhi banegi

    Aapke sath waqt kaise gujra khabar na rehti h kuch

    Hrr baar adhura sa reh jata h kuch n kuch!

    Main chahta hoon tumse bolu kuch na kuch!

    Prr ye kambakkht kabhi pura hi nhi hota h, jise kehte h kuch na kuch.!!

    Sonali used to do office work along with household chores, so Sonali’s mother-in-law used to repeatedly interrupt Sonali for household chores. Used to speak for attention and Reema didn’t care.

    One day there was a worship ceremony at home, so there was a lot of work.

    Sonali had done her work, but her mother-in-law was repeatedly asking Sonali to take leave from the office. Sonali got fed up and went to her mother-in-law’s room with tears in her eyes.

    Then the mother-in-law said, Sonali, I can also handle household chores, but daughter, I enjoy working with you, while talking to you, I do not know how things get done. You sit all day doing office work and you don’t feel like eating, You spend the whole day in the room even you don’t remember to take a rest.

    We care about you daughter, we also feel that you should sit with us, laugh and talk and all this cannot happen because of the office, so I ask you to take leave again and again so that you come out of the room.

  • Dare to Dream 

    Dare to Dream 

    Life is a journey. In this journey, we tend to meet people from different backgrounds. Some relationships have a big impact on our lives while some are just there to complete their part in your journey of life.

After completing her post-graduation, she landed a job in the banking domain. Everyone associated with her was proud of her accomplishments. Her parents were quick to fix her up with a well-settled boy of their choice.

    Little did Priya know that her life would change upside down after marriage. She was unable to balance her work, kids, and household chores. Hence, she left her white-collar job to care for her family. She loved her family but she always felt something was missing in her life.

    Society had started judging her by now.The same relatives who once praised her now started jugging her. She started avoiding social gatherings. But her better half and her kids always encouraged her and assured her that life would have some plans for her and kept motivating her.

    After the pandemic, the work-from-home culture made its way into the world. Priya knew that this was the perfect opportunity she had been pausing for quite some time. Fortunately, her kids were also independent to some extent and she could take out some time for herself from her busy schedule.

  • Namaste Inc.: How Yoga went Global

    Namaste Inc.: How Yoga went Global

    In a small Indian town, yoga and globalization collided one day. Across generations of yogis, Guru Baba was renowned for his impressive poses and teachings. One day, he received an invitation from a multinational corporation to teach yoga to their employees worldwide via video conferencing.

    Guru Baba was delighted to have the opportunity to spread yoga’s benefits outside of his small village. Using his laptop, he began teaching his first virtual class to employees around the world. When he began to lead them through complex poses, things quickly became out of control. 

    While trying to follow Guru Baba’s instructions, the employees contorted their bodies into awkward positions, leaving them twisted like pretzels. Someone accidentally pressed the wrong button on the computer screen and everyone’s cameras turned on. What followed can only be described as a global disaster of epic proportions!

    People from all over the world were exposed to each other’s clumsy attempts at yoga, creating a hilarious spectacle that went viral online. Soon, memes were circulating featuring people attempting impossible poses with witty captions such as “I thought downward dog meant my head should touch the floor.” Baba was mortified by what he had caused unintentionally.

    But despite this “newfound” fame, Baba never forgot his roots. He continued to teach traditional yoga, reminding them that the true purpose of yoga was not to impress others, but to find inner peace and harmony.

    And so, the ancient practice of yoga was brought into the modern world, proving that even the oldest traditions can adapt and evolve with the times. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see a yoga pose named after a tech startup or a social media platform.

  • A Self Talk

    Don’t know why I’ve been here for so long

    Even when I knew this is not where I belong

    Don’t know where I’m going wrong

    And got so tired of staying strong

    I now live in a lonely zone

    stop myself from reaching the throne

    Forgot all the love I’ve been shown

    And turned my heart into a useless stone

    There are people like me in every clique

    But you don’t notice

    You don’t notice the tears that roll down our cheeks

    And the fear that makes us weak

    Seeing people looking at us and laughing within

    Made us build an unbreakable wall in between

    We’ve been through a world which they’ve never seen

    But still we never tell them they are too mean

    I sometimes wonder

    Why we feel low at times

    Is it due to our wrong imagination

    Or due to lack of motivation

    But no!

    Its all because of the demons

    The demons in our head come from nowhere

    And drive us here into this kind of despair

    I know sometimes I and many of us may feel insecure

    And somehow learnt to endure

    But not anymore!

    All we need to do now is stay calm

    So that we can lessen the harm

    Engage in things instead of being alone

    So we don’t turn into a maleficent of our own

    One should learn to confess to oneself

    Else the things will start to possess

    Accepting and healing is hard

    And so is suffering

    Brain manipulation can only give us temporary motivation

    So this should be a self process I guess

    No other person can really help to remove this distress

    The strength to change is within

    It’s all about the courage we have and the efforts we put….

  • It’s Ok!!

    It’s ok to feel left out

    Not every crowd is worth fitting in

    It’s ok to stress out

    Not a single person has got everything sorted

    It’s ok to cry out

    Not necessary you always have to be the strongest

    It’s ok to recess

    You can come back stronger later

    It’s ok to get tired

    You might have been through a lot

    It’s ok to give up

    You might have had your own reasons

    It’s ok to be imperfect

    Learn to embrace it

    It’s ok to be weird

    Discern you are unique

    It’s ok to be yourself

    Spurn others opinion

    Some people love you the way you are

    Some people wish to have a life like yours

    Some people dream of being you

    It’s ok

    You will feel alright

    You will feel better

    It will all make sense someday

    It’s ok!
