In pursuit of the pretty lies now I had lost the ugly truth.

He opened his eyes to the world around. It had many things good and bad. He chose to see the good parts as the good parts were good to the eyes. He never saw what was unpleasant to his eyes cos' the mere sight will give him creeps. He turned his head to the pretty lies cos the ugly truth looked unkind to him. Chasing the pretty lies he lost his way and turning around the way back was not right. He thought he was destined to be with the beauty around only didn't know that he had no clue where the good lied. He reached a place that was a fairyland and all things in it were white. They all smiled and giggled and pointed at him. He thought that they see and they like. It took him a while to realised that it was not for him that they smiled. Their world was fair and he was a foreigner so they knew he was not their right. It was not for him but on him that they laughed and were not giggling but sniggering at his might. He felt small and rejected and wanted to go back to the place which was for him right.

He was sorry that he hated the truth and instead ran for lies. In pursuit of the pretty lies now the ugly truth was lost. So he wanted to go back to the place where the harsh truth hurt less. He wanted to belong to that land of dark where his worth was more than a scavenger. "Oh!", he exclaimed and said,"I am so sorry that I followed my eyes. I would advice all my fellows that do what your morale says is right. I will find a way back because that is how the world becomes better. The fair side of the pretty lies are venomous than the ugly truth. Beware and be wise, its a camouflage, it has all lies."

If Ram had thought that Shabri is not beautiful, hence not worth his affection, would you still be worshipping him? If Radha had thought that Kanha is dark hence, not worth her, would we still have the greatest love story of all time?

Now I know that all good things are not beautiful. Kindness from heart brings warmth to all and kindness to eyes is a web of lust that befalls even the mightiest.

(One friend and a cup of tea.) Dear Readers, What a weekend!!!. The January winter is my favorite time of the year and I believe there is nothing better than enjoying it with hot tea, family and friends. Since, we will be saying our goodbyes to the season soon, I thought I will push my comfort zone and explore evening chill of Jaipur's busiest streets in Rajapark. My search , along with some friends, led us to a cozy tea corner which was filled with people like us who wanted to feel the tingling of cold hands and red noses that the winter brings with it. We went along to find our table and hot tea was soon brought to us with tastiest snacks we could get. The stories, jokes and little excerpts started pouring in from all around the table. One of the excerpts from a story actually made me think deeper. It goes like this. A waiter asks a man, "what else will you have with your tea?" To which the man replies, "some old friends with their silly little talks". I immed...

  Did you fly kites today? Did you stuff your mouth with delicious til laddoos and deep fried pakodas? Are your ears hurting with all the music competition on your terrace from your friendly neighborhood?  If the answer to all the questions above were yes by you, then you had a great day today celebrating Sankranti. Just like you, I did all these things and can proudly call it a day well spent.                                      The festival of Sankranti is all about celebrating the harvest season of the year marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days. Makar Sankranti is observed with social festivities such as colorful decorations, fairs, dances, kite flying, bonfires, feasts and children going house to house, singing and asking for treats in some areas.  Since I am a big fan of traditions, I tried to include all the elem...

It's been a while. I have not shared much over the last year and I thought my blogging time was over. But, I find myself writing and reflecting over the amazing year that has gone by. I used to think I know life. I always believed that if you plan things and follow, you will achieve your goals and it is true to an extent.  However, to my utmost disbelief, everything I planned turned out to be completely different. Some of the things I had planned were friendships, career, relationships and even hobbies. Thankfully I have my family and a few close friends who had time again picked up my pieces when I broke myself trying to do things which were entirely opposite to my nature. I am grateful. Last year was all about revelations. I got to know that polo was a tough game, covid was still wrecking havoc, it's never too late to change your life, your family is your truest friend, that best friend you have is a gem and last but not the least you are the only one who can truly impact you...
