Thank you, Papa. You taught me to speak up against evil, the hard way.

There are times when I see my female friends on the roads and in the bars at night. Brave, they are! Where I am quietly hiding inside my 3 BHK apartment with my parents, after 6 in the evening, my friends beg me to accompany them to the nearby club. Maybe something is wrong with the clothes they wear shamefully, expecting me to dress up the same. “Sorry, I can’t”, I told them. My parents would not be able to see me like that.

I once saw my friend kiss another boy when she was dating her boyfriend since last 4 long months. I won’t lie; I called her a ‘slut’ in my mind and thought of never befriending such assholes.

Earlier, I did not know why I never broke the shackles of my introversion. Also, I did not know why I never followed my friends to the bar. When my friend was abducted from the streets last week, my father came into my room and gently spoke, “This is the reason why we always tell you to not go out after 6. I cannot let you go out of my life.” Now, I know the reason for my father’s resistance to me going out at night, and I genuinely think it is for my own good.

I am my father’s princess. Fortunately, I was provided the most a daughter can wish for. As far as I can remember, I and my father share the very best and worse times of our lives together.

There are times when I need a friend for motivation, he is there.

There are times when I need a shoulder to cry on, he is there.

My beloved father always reminds me that I am his princess and it is his responsibility to take care of me. I think that is why he has taken time out of his busy schedule to bathe with me these days. “To clean one’s body is the most important thing”, he says.

I sometimes hope that I could ask my mother to bathe with us and have fun together, but I cannot, for I have been sworn by my sweet daddy that I will not tell anyone about our secret!

Love you, Daddy!

It takes SOMETHING, to be that SOMEONE...

To be ‘a someone’, is actually not a bad place to be in. You can do things that you have never thought of doing, and even if you did not succeed, no one would care about your casualty. Probably, you have to keep trying until either: · You are good at it, or · You are just bored of it. ‘To do’ is to observe; ‘to observe’ is to understand and ‘to understand’ is to take one step ahead! Keep moving until you reach a road with no footprints on it. You will surely think of making that U-turn… but No, you have to be positive. But, WHAT IF a wolf kills you ahead; WHAT IF a car hits you; WHAT IF you die! You could be that someone. So, keep moving until you reach a road with no footprints on ...

It is good to cry

Sometimes I wonder as to what is it that we really want? - Is it Money? - Or, is it Recognition? - Or, is it something more than that? We were told that howsoever bad situations may become, it will all end sometime, someday. Maybe it is just about to end, you never know! Why are we working so hard? Why is it that you are reading this? Why is it that people love to hear from someone they admire? Why are we doing things? Everybody knows that they WILL die, then “why so serious”? Am I the only one who cares about my future and my ‘potential’ family, which I have no idea of at this juncture? It is fairly possible that humans were coded to be an ‘animal’ (like a dog) to their master. A human-dog that is capable of depicting sense and emotion and care for its future. Though, we successfully evolved (from a dog) into a human. But you know, a dog remains a dog! I think that humans, today, are still faithful to their respec...

You are the Change

John’s mother asks him as to where did he get his expensive shoes from? John had shoplifted that day. However, he tells her mother that a friend gifted him those. Mother somehow guessed that John has stolen the pair and tells him that she knows the truth and that he may fool the world but not himself… Nice story with a certain moral value. It is not John’s mother, but John himself who is being fooled, maybe not now but in his future endeavors. Why this story is important? ... Because I believe we all become John for one or the other thing in life, many a times. But what is worse is that most of us do not know that! Nichiren Daishonin , a form of Buddhist practice focuses on the law of action and it consequences. According to their belief, it is only our actions or in-actions that are responsible for the consequences in life and they believe in it with full heart and passion. However, one’s perception of an ideal future, that he wants to see in the world, is amazingly diffe...
