Familiarity from the Unknown

 A day where I witnessed so many good souls.To begin with am not a very optimistic person.I often tend to stick with that one belief that people in general are bad and do not truly deserve our trust.But there was this day that broke all of that.

It was few weeks back when I went to meet my sister and unfortunately I knew nothing about her place even which bus to board on.So right at the bus stand there was this young girl who helped me figure out which bus was it and helped me board into it.I couldn't even say thanks to her due to all the rush and chaos but was only able to wave her with gratefulness.

Clueless me didn't even know when the place where I have to get down would arrive. Seeing my state there was this old lady that was near me who reassured me saying "Dont be scared ma it's the last stop,you can get down when everybody does" and that really helped me relax.

Tracing back to the morning of the same day while I was walking to my class, a car quietly slowed down near me and a lady from inside rolled down the windows of her car just to say me that my bag was open. I was really overwhelmed and thanked her. I mean someone took their sweet time in this big busy chaotic world just to inform me that my bag wasn't closed. 

I don't know, sometimes all we need is a sense of familiarity from a stranger.A silent presence from someone.A stranger's act could settle your restlessness, a stranger's words could reassure you and a stranger's efforts could overwhelm you with happiness but what changes is that they would no longer be a stranger to you but someone who is familiar, someone who took time to see right through your soul and that's all that matters. Sometimes it's people like these that remind me kindness still continues to live in vestiges somewhere in this big round globe taking up the form of humans.

Feminism

 Have you ever come across that day where you feel nothing but complete rage. That's one such day for me today. What's Feminism?  According to me it's fighting for those rights which was once robbed from women. A Feminist doesn't necessarily need to be just women. In this context it's the fight for the marginalised. Anyone can be and should be a Feminist.  But am tired of this world constantly misinterpreting this term. Recently came across a movie called "Aan Paavam pollathathu" that made no sense. The film totally misleads the society where still few people are trying to understand what Feminism is. I am neither with the female lead nor with the male lead of this film. Both had their own flaws.But what agitated me was the way everything was portrayed. The film constantly conveys that the female lead is stupid and is expected to behave a certain way just because she stays home. Since when an independent woman meant someone who smokes. Smoking is a bad hab...

Protruding pathways

 Have you ever come across narrow path ways that eventually lead to the same place.The colony I am in has various routes running from all sides of it but no matter which street you take, you will eventually find yourself in the main road. That pretty much sums up what life is.There are these narrow numerous pathways protruding out for you.But what matters is which pathway you choose. Certain routes may take you long enough to reach the main destination while few other paths will make you reach there quickly. Few routes may have rough and curvy roads while the others may have smooth straight roads. Few paths would have traffic that tackles your way while the others will give you a smooth ride. The choices you make matters.And it's you who get to choose your own way. But no matter what you choose you will reach somewhere safely, either with lessons or with experience.The consequences depend on the choices you make but either way remember you would win however. If not for now, sooner!...
