To the one’s, we share soul with – “Animals”

“An image of two elephants fleeing a mob that set them on fire has won top entry in a wildlife photography competition”.
“India award for burning elephant photo”.
Woke up to such headlines a few days ago. Though it was a busy day with a lot things lined up; something just kept knocking my heart again and again. And it was that visual where an animal was battling the brutal deeds caused by us.

It’s surprising that humans just separated themselves from animals because they assumed they are the more evolved ones. No doubt we are the evolved one’s or may be not ? I think let’s leave this question to each of its own.
When ever we see a human act in a cruel way, we simply characterize them as ‘animals’. But humor lies in the fact that the only animal that displays cruelty is humanity.
How far do you think we humans are going to head with such privileged perceptions about ourselves?
Recently in one of the districts a cow was buried alive because she was creating havoc around the place. I guess we really are pretty much evolved and privileged to take the decision of when and how we can take away someone’s breath. The question that we raise is animals are coming into human settlements. But don’t you think it’s just the other way round. They were the one’s who had the privilege to be a part of this universe much before we evolved. How sad is it to see that we are killing our own roots.
I am personally not an animal lover but as a human I feel it’s a great concern; as we are all busy fighting for equality, land, and blah blah. But what we tend to forget is we need to fight for humanity.

The image won top entry in a wildlife photography competition. Question is; is it something to be proud of ? Or is it an alarm for each of us to wake up and realize that animals share with us the privilege of having a soul and they deserve equal amout of love and respect.
Anthony Douglas rightly quoted – “Be kind to every kind, not just mankind”.

Caution-Abortion
What is freedom to you ? What do these rights mean to you ? I guess the first question itself should be; are we even aware of the rights we possess not as a citizen of a country but as humans ? Look deep within yourself and ask this question.

There has been this revolution of feminism. Like it is funny because 70 percent of the humans address every other women standing for feminism as — ‘Oh!! You are the feminist kind off gal’ Feminism stands for equality and therefore men and women and everyone who feels being human first than a woman or a man; have a voice to equality are ‘feminist’.
So yes be proud to be one!!!

It was important to get the basics clear or else I guess it would get too complexed for us. In this universe millions of creatures are fighting their battle’s to survive. Because it says ‘survival of the fittest’. But yet each of us have the time to leave our battle’s and jump into a site we are completely unaware of. Out of no where today ‘Abortion’ is an issue and I feel the next issue would be to ‘Breathe’.

When a women decides to end a life which is a part of her do you really feel it’s so easy? Is it fair on her part to bring a human into the world where she herself isn’t sure about her own life? A thousands of factors can be included of which only she is aware of. An infant isn’t a product of her only. No matter what the circumstances are; it is limited to her and her better half and no third entity has the right to be part of this decision. As humans more than being empathetic it’s high time we have the courage to exhibit empathy before having an opinion or voice.
For having a country safe and secure for a women to live; it’s important for us to build a world where women have the right to take their own decision, live on their own terms and just breathe. It’s this simple! Before pointing fingers at the character, decision and morales of a women aborting a part of her; look into yourself and courageously ask yourself how would you feel if someone else would take a decision about your body?

So heres to everyone who stands there to take a decision about every women’s body; be caution or else our decisions would lead to the abortion of your not so needed thoughts.

With tears in her eyes Hazel Grace practices her goodbye speech for her love. As Augustus Waters wanted to hear what his loved one had to say after he leaves the world. Hazel thanks him for his love that is their own ‘little infinity’ and she wouldn’t have trade it for anything in this world. I am sure none of us will ever trade anything on this universe for love; or would we?
Love! I don’t need to explain it; we all know all that it means. Its beautiful, safe, its all about happiness. But it takes a lot of courage to value it. Because nothing is forever treasured unless its valued. We do value it but with terms and conditions applied. As well as we look for all the possible guarantees and warranties. So yes, we do trade love but as humans for our so-called safety and comfort.
We all have had our share of experiences and drama. But we tend to form opinions and a sense of rigidity within us rather than learning from it. These lessons teach us what is to be loved and what not. They teach us the real essence of love. But instead of embracing these lessons we form a path to walk in our minds that isn’t necessary at all. We always choose the tough way because we have been hurt. We assume that we need to be alone or not trust or fight and so on. But sometimes its important to choose the easy part and just release yourself and your heart from all of this.
My experiences have taught me to set love free. It made me understand that love isn’t about whom you can live with or without; its about living and let the other live as well. It gives you the strength to chase your dreams and blossom in life. And in todays time, love should be the cord that gets you closer to your friends, family, career and yourself. Take a while and do revisit your experiences.
So, to all the Hazels and Augutus out there; don’t look for a love that’s beyond infinity instead love in a way that forms your little infinity. Be the unexpected light in someone’s life. Guide them on their way to their dreams. Just walk each day hand in hand and don’t wonder in the thoughts of the future. Just get on a rollercoaster that rides within the little infinity.

Depleting Ceiling
The world is indeed facing global warming and our very own ozone layer is getting depleted. Isn’t it a matter of concern? Women empowerment is raising its bar. Elections are at its peak. Mee Too moment just shook the whole industry and on and on. But are we even aware about what exactly is happening in the ecosystem? All we do is pick up various phrases from around and pore it round. Do we ever take the effort of observing what it is that needs our attention as citizens? What it is in our surrounding that is actually changing? What is it that is depleting? And now needs to vanish off.
There was a ceiling made year’s back and mind it a really strong one. The ceiling was made of firm ideologies and opinions. Unbreakable it seemed. As humans we have the tendency to be biased towards all that is easy and all that has the majority. Talking about majority; men just came into the picture. The basis of this ceiling was the strong opinions of this majority of men. It was definitely difficult for women to find their way high up professionally and personally. The majority stood there; waiting for women to climb up and swiftly pull them down. Not an easy way for the women though. But the never give up attitude kept all going. Women have stood strong and have made each other stronger. An era has begun where humans need to be empowered and not any of the genders. Question is; has the ceiling broken?
I can surely see cracks on the glass ceiling and if I see clearly then the ceiling has been already shattered. With all the revolutions coming into existence the ceiling has been shattered way long back. Then why are women still weighed in these terms? Why are women always been addressed with all these special terms? It’s important to keep the weighing scale same. It’s the society that needs to understand that equality isn’t about empowering women above men. It is about let the women make best use of the opportunities they have.
In the whole chaos of who’s over whom we all have tend to forgotten that at the end of the day we are humans. As stated before majority forms prejudices and the majority stands together as humans. So before feeling sad; about our very own ozone layer let’s take out some time to be happy about the depletion of the ceiling. Let’s just vanish the glass ceiling, let us accept it’s broken and welcome are selves to world of equality.

Thanks for joining me!
