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!

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...

Bhagwad Gita # Chapter 2# Paraphrased~ Reshape yourself with the power of your will!

  Bhagwad Gita~ the song sung by God himself on the earth. It’s very truly called the manual of life. I am God’s chosen one because He guided me through the knowledge and I have enjoying reading the scripture. Now here I go paraphrasing the 2 nd chapter which forms the essence of the Holy Book. I have written what I understood. There’s much more to it as when I read it over and over again, I realize there’s a never-ending learning phase about life. Krishna explains that we should do 3 things before we get the solution for our seeming problems in interacting with the world. They are:      Problem Identification       Helplessness Identification    Seeking help unconditionally from a capable source. Seeking help is important because by living with the problem, one could be deluded and may not have the right disposition to find the solution. Since Arjuna is not fully prepared, Krishna prepares him to do his duty.   Bhagwad Gita# C...
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.
