Respect Durga


Respect Durga

 Durga puja is the festival of respecting and worshiping Durga. Generally, we forget to respect her and end up only worshiping her. 

I saw a girl of 13-14 years near a puja pandal. And mind it she was wearing a kurti with leggings. She was happy, it was evident from her face that it was her favorite festival. The place was congested but her eyes found their way to look at Durga’s idol and admire her. Durga, a female which everyone of us worship. She has a trishul in one of her hands. She is believed to be serene and composed until and unless someone tries to lay hands on her dignity. She uses her trishool to protect the world. While the girl expressed admiration for Durga, she felt someone trying to lay hands on her self-esteem. She was too afraid to turn back and face what was happening, so she chose to move ahead with her mother. 

She again sensed a touch which felt like a thorn. This time she turned back hoping he’ll be shamefaced of what he did to a girl who must be the age of her sister. Her hopes were shattered when she was unable to see a glimpse of shame on his face, instead he had a smile on his face which was the symbol of credence that whatever he did was right. This happened because he was taught to worship Durga but not to respect her. 

After reaching home, she wondered if the trishul in Durga’s hand were for the protection of the world or for her own protection.

The Garden of Dreams

The Garden of Dreams Ever gone through a situation where you saw your dreams shattered on the floor? All of us have dreams and we want to live those dreams. Let's start from the beginning. A desire develops in our hearts. With time that desire, that wish becomes so strong that we want to fulfill it. We are ready to do anything to fulfill that wish which has now become a dream. We plant that dream in our heart.  What is a dream? “Dream is not what you see in sleep. Dream is something which doesn't let you sleep". This definition was given by our former President Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam.  My version is a bit emotional one-  "Dream ia a seed when sown in our hearts develop into a plant and then tree. Once it is fully developed it starts giving fruits and flowers which make our lives beautiful". What is heart? The heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood through our body." This was the biological definition of heart. But there's one more definition whi

The Desolated Soul

  The Desolated Soul You know it's hurting when the smile has abandoned your way; You know it’s hurting when you don’t have words to say. You know it’s hurting when you spend all day sleeping; You know it’s hurting when you can’t put an end to weeping. It is the chapter of our lives which some of us have left behind; It is the chapter of our lives which some of us are still writing. Isn't this an ordinary depiction of normal human survival which some of us have left behind and some are still trying? Hurting is a part of life like gaiety. The only difference is the first one comes effortlessly and refuses to pass. You have to endeavor to heal and still there will be a trigger point which may ruin all your efforts. The second one is arduous to bring off and goes within a blink of an eye. How does pain feel like? It feels cold even if you have swaddled yourself with a duvet. It does not let you sleep even after shutting your eyes for an eternity.  When you find yourself hurting, y
