Let's create Conversations!


We, as a society, really have no idea how suffocated people are in their emotions. Most people have nobody to express themselves entirely to. Everyone is holding back their vulnerabilities to maintain the social image of a confident and happy person.

Heart-to-heart conversations have become rare, artificial and shallow. Most hearts are filled with empty defences.
Most people can't even talk to their life-partners openly for the fear of being judged or rejected. Emotions await just a release. Social images make sure that weakness is not glorified. 

Children have bottled up stress. Young people suffer from anxiety and depression. 

It is just lack of social support. It is lack of non-judgmental friendships. It is a result of fast and busy lives where nobody has time to just sit and watch someone cry. 

It is a result of instant and impatient lifestyle practices, that emotions have started feeling like a waste of time.

We have Whats App, Facetime and social media-and we also have stress, anxiety and depression.

Our forefathers had neither.... Because they talked to each other...... Because talking helps.....
The face-to-face type talking, the just-listen-to-me type talking, the hold-my-hand-and-let-me-cry type talking, the sit-next-to-me-and-listen-to-my-silence type talking... the talking where persons can be themselves and say anything they feel without the fear of any judgement or loss or rejection. 

Today, we don't like that type of talking! In fact we avoid people. Naturally, it has led to mental illnesses...which are becoming an epidemic.

There is not much we can do but we can offer listening!

Let's let people talk without any fear. Let's create conversations. 

Let's start talking again!

Hi! This is Preeti Agarwal and I love doing something that adds a zing and meaning to my life. This blog has been created so that I can upload whatever I write as a small creation of my own or paraphrased or something I read somewhere and just want to follow it up. It contains some personal poetry, some table-mat designs and even my doodling art. I am loving the lock-down because it has given me something I would always cherish.

Ma...Our Walking Miracle!

  Ma:   My mom is a walking miracle. An epitome of simplicity, I take pride in what she is. Sometimes, I feel if I become half as strong, as talented as she is, I would be a class apart!   In my teenage days, my friends used to find reasons for me to host a party. Reason was simple….my mom’s culinary skills and warm hospitality. She was too good with her cooking, presentation and served with love. When we used to get soft drinks where ever we went, she used to impress us with her ‘kairi-pudina’, ‘bel sherbat’, fresh tomato juice etc. Her mouth watering chaats with home made papri and raj-kachori have satiated so many taste buds. Master Chef was not aired those days otherwise she would have been a winner with a big margin. Not only mine and my father’s friends, but my in-laws family can vouch for her creativity. While hosting dinners for her loving samdhis, she would make sure, in an array of snacks, no snack is repeated the second time. Her daal halwa was to die f...

Karma Yoga# Bhagawad Gira# chapter 3# paraphrased

 Bhagwad Geeta Chapter 3 Paraphrased: Chapter 3, Karma Yoga “Karma means You are the Maker of your life. When you truly understand Karma, you realize you are responsible for everything in your life. Every moment, you perform action- physically, mentally, emotionally and energy-wise. Each action creates a certain memory. That is Karma”.  In Bhagwad Geeta, Krishna emphasis the most on Karma Yoga. He says there are two paths:   Path of Knowledge   Path of Action On hearing this Arjuna decides to choose the path of knowledge and tells Krishna that it’s better to go to the Himalayas and start meditating and give up war. Krishna then explains its difficult to give up action because each thing we do, involves a bit of activity. Even the simple work like eating, drinking, sleeping or breathing also involves action. Moreover, when the action (here, it is the war) is in the mind and we are meditating, we’ll never be at peace. The Path of knowledge is for the thinkers- the ...
