In The Midst of Suffering Stands A Greater Hope.....

The night has just unfolded, and behold the skies filled with stars shining in their greatest volume, bringing light to the living beings below it at distances from their splendour. They shine brightly in their entirety as they make way to conquer the world with the light that it deserves at this point in time.   As darkness now envelops the world, as nations join hands together to fight the spread of the disease, and as people take refuge in their shelters, a greater understanding of humanity has now dissolved into the hearts and minds of people.  A humanity that knows no bounds, a humanity where we are all brothers and sisters united in diversity, a humanity where there exists no differences between ourselves and our fellow neighbors, a humanity where we learn to respect each other’s personal opinions about life and finally a humanity which is filled with boundless love for one another transcending all social and cultural barriers, paving the way for a greater ...

An Old and Lonesome Village House.......

It’s yet another bright and sunny evening, and out stands a house in what appears to be quite a darken state, reminiscing on how beautiful a dwelling it could create for it’s potential and deserving buyer. With a broad and wide expanse roofing, filled with the intricate Goan tiles of the Portuguese era, it stands still, filled with lot of sorrow and grief of not having been a worthy dwelling of a previous resident. Having gone through lot of troubles and sorrows over decades of being abandoned and left to wither off with the weeds and the wild plants, for once did it get the relief that it was going to have a new look for itself to fit in with the beauty and glamour of it’s other neighbors in the vicinity when it’s owners were indeed getting news of a potential buyer to resell the house to. Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed at as the seller had given up on the offer of buying the house and so it was left to once again embrace the state of loneliness and cope up with...

Evening of another Friday...

It’s another bright and beautiful Friday evening, and behold the sun, with it’s bright and boundless glory, magnifies the skies with it’s bright and everlasting rays touching upon each and every single life-form and creature on this earth. With birds tweeting as they prepare to make their way into their nests, with flowers almost drooping as they prepare themselves for the arrival of night time and with mosquitos buzzing around as they prepare for their feast before sunset, it is indeed a beautiful sight to behold!!! A slight trail of wind meanders it’s way through the tall and wavy coconut trees, filled with a lump sum of coconuts to declare as pride for having made it so far as achieving greatness in their lifetime, the dogs barking as they prepare to head back on their usual duty as guardians of the night and finally the unexpected sound of one of a whole lot of young middle school children playing endlessly till the arrival of Angelus time signified by the to...

A Hut in the Woods....

One blissful evening, I sit out, gazing at the thick and luscious vegetation I see infront of me when suddenly, I spot a small and a very intrigue hut, set out in the woods.   A very eye-catching one as it appears to be, it stands out amidst all the darkness and the solitary nature filled with the creepy sounds that characterizes the arrival of night time and late evening..... A spot on for many wanderers, it arouses in one’s mind, the curiosity of one can imagine the variety of activities that the people would be doing in that shelter. The tartar sheets that it is made out of makes it really stand out and be a focus of attention amidst all the other objects of nature and the environment that it is surrounded with....   A ceaseless collection of the various popular Hindi tunes dating back to the late 80’s and the 90’s can be heard from within the confines of this temporary shelter which is what it is as a way of bringing out life into the otherwise quiet ...

Looking at Hairdressing as an art!!!!

                                          It was around two years back, I went out on one particular day to a new salon in the U.A.E , as usual for a haircut but this time it had to be special as it was for the Farewell which was going to be the next day in the morning, so I had to have my hair set the previous day in order to look good for the following day. So as usual, I went to the salon which is a bit further away from my house, I entered the salon, waited for my turn and then when the hair-dresser was free, I went to him. The hair-dresser was a Filipino, indeed a different nationality, and as I heard that Filipinos are very good in cutting hair, so too did I expect that he would cut my hair well and give it the style that I desired to have. Of course not forgetting, I did have along with me a few photographs resembling the style I wanted which I showed to him with...

Social Media- A Mind Game

I was just grasping today over something which I felt was worth making a mention of especially considering the fact that today, it influences both our personal and professional lives a lot. It is nothing but social media. Social media which for us started off as a way of connecting with our close friends and family members today has had a really profound impact on our day to day lives. It has really influenced us a lot in the way we think, our opinions we have on various matters of interest be it either social, or political or in most cases to do with our own personal and professional lives. Having been on social media for the past four years, I have gone through all the ups and downs of what it really takes to be an active user, first on Facebook and now on Instagram. The one thing that I would really like to make a mention of, especially for those who are hardcore Instagram users is that, that there is one thing in common that really affects us all on this platform and tha...

Meeting Zubair Sarookh

It has been quite a while since I last posted on my blog but I just thought of sharing with you my experience of meeting Zubair Sarookh when I had just returned back from U.A.E this month. To all of those who don't know who Zubair Sarookh is, Zubair Sarookh is one of the most famous YouTubers based in the U.A.E. He makes a lot of videos which range from comedy skits portraying the casual lifestyle of the common man in various aspects, to reaction videos where he reacts to any video which has become really viral on YouTube or TikTok and finally he also does vlogs where he visits any new restaurant or supermarket or an attraction in and around U.A.E and actually goes about promoting it in his videos. So in doing so, it can also be said that he has business dealerships in order to go about promoting specially the supermarkets, the cafe's or any new restaurants that have come up including saloons and perfumes too. So that was a small brief about him. I had met him when I was lea...
