The one where it's all materialistic

Its important to not get drawn towards the worldly life. The glitters and the fun, because it's useless. And sometimes, some really bad times you do become a patient of this epidemic. People change their beliefs chasing the glamor, some lose friends and family trying to follow the right path because of lack acceptance from the materialistic. But the fact of the matter remains that we're all answerable for our own decisions and freewill implementation.

What maybe crazy to me, maybe normal to you, what maybe the truth maybe extreme to you. The divide is necessary to appreciate the importance of the good over bad.It is essential to realise this and take the next step in the right direction. I bar anyone of respect if they do not practice what they know is the truth. I do not feel it's necessary to keep tradition alive that is harmful to the religion. I ignore those who think they know more than they do. I'm angered by those who repeat the same mistakes again and again and don't accept their fault.

Ego and age are two different issues but when combined become the most disastrous of characteristics one can posses, especially if it's being used in the negative manner.

Now while discussing worldly and avoiding the worldly you may become the worldly. Somewhere in the religion there is satisfaction which can be termed as selfish and worldly even if it is for a religious cause. It is a very delicate issues, one that may have no solution but sacrifice from the one who is struggling the most.

Life is complicated, religion uncomplicated it, non practicing theists complicate it again, and practicing try to uncomplicate it again. The cycle goes on and I don't believe a day on earth goes by without one person trying to make sense of it all.

The one where you realise how old you are

Ever been in a situation where you figured out you were either stuck in time or just gone way ahead of it?.

Okay I may have left the imagination too open for confusion here. I am talking about age, I am talking about how one feels with regards to the number that represents their age.I have been in both sides in this scenario. There have been times I realised I'm unreasonably stuck in the bubble of a high school girl and then I've felt encased by the hardships of life making me feel like I'm 30.

But the beauty of both these experiences has been that I learned a lot about life and what age brings to it. One can never know what they should or shouldn't be doing at a certain age.
Because if you were to set out on a journey observing various people and their status through the ages of their lives you'd be heavily confused.

In the world we're living in now, 50 year olds are uneducated, 21 year olds are billionaires, 40 year old women are still procrastinating about having a child, 16 year olds are having 2 babies. It's all just too complicated to find normalcy in.

But the only thing I believe one could do, is try to be happy no matter what the number is. And that would automatically elevate the quality of your life, which is more important than the length of it. Doesn't matter if you live till you're only 20 or 30 if you've lived your life to the fullest in terms of peace, happiness and love, you've done your age justice.

And hence I believe the only criteria for one to know how they should feel at any age should depend solely on how they're making use of every second. And how satisfied they are, and most importantly how ready they are for death.

The one where Facebook is analysed

Recently on some show on TV I heard the host say that facebook is leading people into depression. This is due to comparison of ones life with that of friends and family via facebook.

Now, one can understand this scenario by observing the age old obsession of civilians with celebrities. Seeing their photographs, obsessed with the 'Kodak moments', envying their life through their pictures, believing that a photo is the reality of their life. When obviously it's not, even though many of us believe so, we do end up, comparing our lives to that of celebrities, who themselves are not the most satisfied people on earth.

I understand the facebook depression phenomenon in the same light. Pictures of friends years after school with a huge group of new friends, a new partner, a new life, all spoken through these photos very proudly displayed in their profile. It doesn't just end there, one is unconsciously forced to also regularly update their profile with pics to show that they too have a life. This also leads to obsessive photo taking, and the anxiousness to upload them before anyone else, or to update their friends asap. Then comes the comparing every small detail of life with that of others. People who're not that into photo taking are now compelled to because of facebook. In fact I'm sure many may not even touch their cams for a month if it weren't to update others on their lives.

This photo screening obsession may be the cause of depression for some for others it may just be the info, that someone they knew is now richer than they are, or seemingly happier than they are, ones hopes and once future plans not coming true etc.

As natural as it is for one to compare and judge others, it's not healthy.obviously, as fun and useful as it is, facebook is not any angel from the sky. We humans fail to understand and realise the effect of certain things on our mental health until it's too late.

Lets be happy facebooking, and use it for what it is. The reality of everyones life is known only by them, everything else is a facade.

The one where there's Fire

When was the last time you felt the fire in you to do something?

I didn't realise I had lost it till I found it again. It's amazing how it got lost in the conundrum of making life, keeping up with time, thinking ahead, too ahead sometimes.

I believe as human beings; who were on fire in their youth to conquer the world, may lose their heat over time because they just get thrown into the monotony of life.

I've discovered that forcing yourself to try something new will make all the difference. It's not the best feeling in the world to sit and look back at your school days and say 'aaah what an amazing person I was, so carefree, risk taking, always living in the moment.'

The fact is the moment never went anywhere, we lost our sense of feeling of it!. And as days go by and as I ignite my soul and brain, I feel like I'm in school, wearing my prefect badge, running around getting things done, and never to pass in my head is the thought of this moment passing.....

 

The one where Im in my own world of fashion

It's been long, and even though the world has moved on, I seem to be stuck in my own world of fashion.

Who knew the colours were going to pop so bright this summer. I seem to repel that craziness. However, it hasn't always been this way. I love how the fashion changes with season. This time, I wan't to dwell in the darkness of winter and avoid all colour.

Going crazy over studded things, bags, shoes, clothes!. Like always, the edginess has to be that pronounced for me!. Loving the deep blues, reds, blacks.

I'm also over watching all the heavy coats and knits in gossip girl!. Get over it all already, and really wished Blaires work wardrobe would be different from how it always was. I wish to see her in pant suits or skirts suits for that matter. Blair necessities!

After watching a video of my favorite youtube makeup/fashion guru lollipop26. I got inspired to focus on myself. I'm going to start making a list of things I really want for my wardrobe, so that I feel I'm not losing myself to motherhood. That way, when I do get a chance to step ou tof the house, or have enough cash to splurge I'm going to be right in there, getting what right!.

On the more positive note, I'm getting attracted to jewelry and good quality leather bags. I love my Esbeda bag, now Im going to focus on more structured bags that have a good handle to sling it on my forearm. Just want to get into the quality aspect of my life.

Colours for me, not now. Will have to hold that trend till later!

The one with the to-do list

Oh how I love to research, to read, read and know more. However, lately I've been feeling a little illeterate. It's when you get exposed to the world and other people and their knowledge that you realize, you're living in a bubble of ignorant youth. But now I've decided it's time to tap on the intelligent me. After months of sitting at home and just being plain uninspired, I'm glad to announce that I will be taking up the task of hardcore information development.

I can't wait to get my own lappy, it's convenient for my kinda lifestyle. But that's not stopping me from making the list of information conquering.

Ranging from politics to health, from documentaries to books, from history to current world, interesting to dull. I shall spare none. So here's to a more informed me.

Let the crusade begin.
