HOPE

Such a small word but its depth is truly overwhelming. Of all the emotions, I believe being hopeful is the only constant of a life where everything is so uncertain and unpredictable. Anger, sadness, happiness, guilt, regret all fade away over time but keeping faith and having hope for better and bigger things never die. 

Countless stories of pain, greed, betrayal, sadness are known to all of us but even after experiencing the greatest of painful moments, even after being survivors of the cruelest acts after all there is still a little bit of hope that never dies. The perseverance of that last amount of hope is unbelievable. 

I believe there is something in our inner selves, nature or the sun, the moon that doesn't let that hope die. When I think about these things, I am truly amazed by the capabilities of God, like its unfathomable how they designed humans, not just our organs but our inner voice, emotions, desires, and all things that are too long to be written. 

The pandemic has been live proof enough that despite all we are the creatures of hoping and desiring more, of wanting comfort, happiness but at the same time, we don't want the monotonicity of always being happy. Bad, painful moments are what increases the depth of moments of just being content, feeling blessed all the while a constant reminder that there is always and always hope ...

This picture was taken last year on the terrace of my building and I call this picture "Rays of Hope" and I think these are actually that. 

 

 Cosmic Comedy 

Yesterday morning during breakfast hours, I was just goofily dancing around the kitchen, talking to my Momma who was preparing the breakfast and this thought struck me out of nowhere that what if all the Big Bang, Earth, Humans all of it, is created just for God's entertainment.

So one day God was bored and they ( IDK what gender is god OR if they are not of any gender only like you can't put them in any category) wanted little jokers, a fine circus where the variety of acts are performed and BOOM! earth was created. 

Yes we know that our dear Earth was created billions and billions of years ago and the Big Bang happened much much before that but that's what we know, maybe it's not the truth, maybe what we call the Big Bang was just a lazy and mischievous snap of fingers, and the earth was created, dinosaurs and evolution happened to result into you, me and us - silly humans and to feed our inquisitive minds, the plot of the big bang, the sun, and moon, earth et cetera was set up. 

This little thought soon turned into overthinking and I spent the whole day thinking this and mind you I am actually starting to believe it's true. The reason for me believing is I can't seem to get the purpose of humans, like yes some of the best of us are pursuing our passions while some of us are doing normal things like I am drinking coffee, vibing to Young, Dumb & Broke, and writing this blog but the purpose is very individualistic but what is the general purpose of life and humans, why are we here, I cant seem to get the bigger picture despite thinking and then some overthinking. But the significant part is that though we are doing basic things we all are unique like each of us (I am a little overwhelmed, ok a lot by this fact) with our quirks, personalities, weird habits, minds like literally no two humans on this planet are the same but all humans are stupid in the eyes of God (do God really have eyes ? lol) some more some less, who do silly things like every now and then like how I forget why I came into the room and switched on the laptop. 

Hence after brainstorming rather than studying for college, I came to the conclusion that God created us purely for their own fun and the icing on the cake is that they gave each of us a different brain, thoughts, personalities, upbringings, and life circumstances so we all sit together or like nowadays use social media to discuss our mistakes and laugh at them later on while God up there or wherever sipping on holy water and enjoying the circus we present with our antics and what we do, with and in our lives. So I gotta go, my coffee is finished and now Momma is calling to help make the breakfast. 

 

  

 

 Rainy Season 

 ”Only a select few are able to see the true beauty that lies behind what just might seem like a rainy day or a grey sky.” – Jessica M. Laar

Season of water that comes after the hot and humid Summers telling and sometimes screaming to appreciate all the old and obvious, that it takes both good and bad, highs and lows to grow, strive and thrive. This is the season where nature reveals its beauty in spades from cloudy skies, weather that is just right neither too hot nor too cold , pouring heaven, spectacular light show across the skies, booming thunder, and colorful cities and a overall refreshing atmosphere.

 Perhaps this is the season of bathing of Earth of all its grime and impurities. When it rains it feels as if nature is receiving its fuel for replenishment. Standing in the rain is a different experience every time, sometimes the drops are gentle caressing from the gods while the other times it's like a thousand needles piercing through the body may be to wash away all our negativity, doubts, and insecurities and all the things stopping us to become a better version.

 

How amazing and truly wonderful that the temperature of lightning and the surrounding air is around 30,000 degrees celsius and here we on the ground enjoy the scenic skies unaffected.

 The rain has music for those who listen. It has the acceptance of what we are and more. An outstanding show of nature - Rainbow maybe conveying big or small, poor or rich, black or white , sad or happy or any other colors everyone is beautiful and accepted by Mother Earth.  

A Day to sing, dance, jump and skid if only we take a pause from all our problems and reasons telling No and just let out our hidden child and its childish ways for just one reason - a moment to enjoy, cleanse, let go and become carefree for a while.

No matter what for once in a while we can slow down and appreciate the beauty we are surrounded and live in and maybe and maybe the rains, the earth, nature has all the answers we are looking so hard for ...

 

These is one of the pictures that I shot last year from the terrace which is actually a pretty good place.
