Celebrations should be celebrated.


Its my bday today. 

Every year I am given blessings and gifts by my friends and family. But today I want to bless myself with a piece of advice. 

" Tanushree! kindly stop being so skeptical and cynical about love ''

whenever my bday approaches I have this very bad habit of telling my mother, father and sister to not put up any status on WhatsApp on my bday. Reason ? I want to test who truly loves me and who is faking it  :/ , yes this emoji is exactly what I am feeling now about this habit of mine. 

I realized that love cannot be defined. If somebody remembers my bday great and even if they don't, it doesn't mean they don't love me and vice versa. Why I always have to move around with a measuring rod constantly measuring other peoples' love. Won't it be better to accept their love at face value. At the end of the day everybody have their own way and degree of showering love and that should not be judged. So from now onwards I wont ever ask people and even myself to not celebrate for me. Everybody needs love and so do I, then what's the need to build so may walls around myself. 

With this lesson I want to share a rather funny incident as well. My sister prepared a WhatsApp video for me. At first I asked(begged) her to not upload it but thanks to the person she is, a WhatsApp status is mandatory. So at last we bargained and I gave her an entire list of people from whom she had to hide her status :/, a list so long that he ended up putting me in that ''hide from'' list. hahahahahah. 

wooooossshhh!!! lesson learnt!!

happy bday to myself :)

P.S.: blogger is showing the date to be 25th march but its actually 26 march. don't know what's the issue

Life , a level playing field

 Yesterday , i was watching discovery plus. There i came across an episode of 'The jewels of wild ' . It was a like any other episode showing animals running to have food and to save themselves from becoming food.  Then , i came across a fact which was truly mesmerizing. So, there was a lion chasing a young giraffe. Now, the fact was that lions never chase an adult giraffe because there kicks are powerful enough go bring a lion down.  Woah!! Albeit , a simple looking fact but if we ponder upon this deeply it is truly an eye opener.  We often complain for things, for having less than others , for being less privileged than others and so on. But, my dear friend , like this small example from nature , a giraffe might not be privileged enough to have a lion's might but it too is blessed enough to have a strong kick. Similarly, an ant is not privileged enough to have a giant shape and size but it is powerful enough to make an elephant dance.  These very small and day...

A forced language.

When I was in 3rd standard I got admitted to a new school, Vardhaman Vidya Vihar secondary school. Like it is for every newcomer my new school was a total fascinating thing for me, a new dress, a new bag, new stationery, but the thing which fascinated me most was that everyone, literally everyone was speaking in English.  Till that time, I could barely converse in English, but I was the most talkative girl when it came to speaking in marwadi or Hindi ( my mother tongues)! In this new school we "have" had to speak in English "only", the two exceptional periods were that of Hindi and Sanskrit when we were "allowed" to speak in Hindi.  On my first day, there was no teacher in class, I got up and asked the monitor.... paani bharnn....( monitor)- speak in English.....I again tried to speak .. paani bhaaa... again I was ordered to speak in English only. I lowered my eyes and sit down. I asked the person sitting on the bench ahead of me... paani bharne jana h, En...

Life is a long journey from human being to being humane.

  "Human beings" have been referred as the most evolved and the most intelligent of all the species , ever born on this planet (subject to human knowledge ) - by human beings themselves .And perhaps true as well, the human endeavor and the resulting development we see through human intelligence is far beyond the capabilities of any other creature. The monuments , the music, the dance forms, the textiles, the food cuisines ,the rockets, the skyscrapers- all of them are at par with excellence and are a proof how human beings have conquered nature and its vital force.   But the question which comes to my mind is, other than faster evolution, what is the difference between a human being and an animal. This question is genuine given that both have equal needs subject to hunger, shelter, reproduction, social relations and ecosystems.   If human beings have learnt to grow their own food, then so have been done by other species as well. In changing environments and growin...
