The Visit!

What's going inside me? Visiting an oldage home was something I needed to do to understand the importance of the life that I have with my mother. There were senior citizens who hadnt seen their kids for months or few for a year.  Not just that there were  physically challeneged persons also. To start off with, I was almost in tears when I reached the place. It was quiet and green everywhere. But the quietness was such that it filled my heart with ache and  many questions, few of them were like - why wld kids do such a thing to their parents who have spent their whole life providing the kids with everything they need. Another one was, how are the parents coping up with such a drastic change in their lifestyle. And third one was, how was I supposed to act with my character in mind in front of them. I knew my eyes wld fail to pretend that I was happy to be there. I wld never imagine ever in my life sending my mother to such a place even though it was fullfilled with all t...

Expect!

How much knowing oneself is important? Will that help us to put ourselves out of misery? Like my sister said, you have to come in terms with yourself. You have to accept the way you are and the way others are. Dont blame someone for your unhappiness. Dont expect someone to keep you happy. Why wld anyone do that for you?

Just on a Writing Spree!

Hi everyone! To start off with I am not a ‘writer’ writer. I am actually an actor (for now) and ‘writing’ is one of the many revelations I encountered about myself  in my 30s, along with how bad I sing (which wasn’t the case till at least I was 25), how much I liked black and blue instead of pink (if that makes me any less of a girl), along with many more such revelations. Also, I know my introduction can never be a single title. What I mean is, I have ended up being in many different fields, aviation, BPOs, marketing, talent management, the film industry and now this. No, I am not unstable mentally, I am just curious about most of the things. My current obsession is acting and fitness.  Also, the reason why I have changed so many industries is because i feel, we (our mind and body) are so full of potential, strength, intelligence, creativity, that one particular job can never define us. When it comes to writing, I never really took it seriously...
