Saw my Grand Ma


Wandered all around the farm though I was recovering from my leg injury. I don't know when I will get a chance to have a look again. The smell of the soil was making me so pleasant. Felt as if I was there for years.

Sat for a while under my favorite guava tree. Few feet away my eldest sister has been resting under the soil for 13 years. She left us hoping that the rest of the family would be benefited. Poor girl.

 The coconut trees reminded me of my hard toil. Today, they are too tall. I can't climb up them any more. At the same time, I’ve recognized that the farm was lacking some trees that I’ve been watching since my childhood. This kind of incidents waver my aspirations of protecting/planting more and more trees. I used to think of buying all the trees around the village and putting a label on them to protect from cutting off. How greenish it used to be. I don’t think I am too far from doing that.

 Followed the old path after checking everything around in the farm. That slowly led me into the village. There were some people wished me and said that I've become lean and it is because I wanted to earn more money. I just smiled and continued walking. I walked into the village on that shiny afternoon. There she was having her lunch sitting on the porch. The two old eyes became teary after recognizing me. Felt so nice to see her again. I wasn't sure of seeing her again when I left a year and a half ago. Could see a lot of change.

My two grand parents have become more older. But, have got a new home. How good it is? Longed for a better house for decades, finally they have got it. Though it is not an all-new home. Old house is renovated. But, it means a lot to them. They feel so happy in it. Thanks to my brother to make it happen.

Freedom???

One person asked me, "Are you surprised to see the freedom here that you don't see in India?" I know what you are trying to interpret from this question. Yes, you are right. The context was about having a close relationship without marriage with whoever and whenever. IS THAT REALLY A FREEDOM ABOUT WHICH YOU CAN NOT REVEAL TO THE WORLD? IS THAT REALLY A FREEDOM THAT YOU CAN NOT CLAIM OPENLY? IS THAT REALLY A FREEDOM TO  ALWAYS REVOLVE AROUND SEX? IS THAT REALLY A FREEDOM TO HAVE ONSs (One Night Stands)? I call it extremism, not FREEDOM. I call it Hypocrisy. Why am I writing this post at all? Does it matter? Forget about it.

Oh God! When will you get lost?

A belo3w 10-year-old girl was s1aitting in front of God before going to school and pleading with Great God to make her do well on her sports day. A 6-year-old boy was praying to Great God to make him stand 1st in his exams before going to school. When will this God leave these young minds, very young minds? In fact, it is not the young minds who are to be free from the concept of God. It is the parents' minds which are to be educated. If a girl has to do well in sports, she must practice well. "You play the way you practice, not the way you pray to God." If a boy has to do well in his exams, he must study well. A well-prepared boy will not get failed if he doesn't pay God. Or A boy without any preparation will not do well by just pleading to God. When will this God get lost from the very young minds? You aren't what you believe or say you are, and you are only what you do and how you do it. Someone said that “When you come to an end, that’s where God begins

Is your Dad bad?

Have you ever been asked,  "Is your Dad bad?" Well, let's unpack that. Do you stand by idly while every Tom, Dick, and Harry insults him without cause? Do you allow others to exploit him? Is it fair to assume that someone labeled as "bad" is incapable of any good deeds? Speaking up for a father who may have made mistakes doesn't necessarily equate to love and affection. It's about navigating complex emotions and setting boundaries to protect oneself from toxicity. Personally, I have no desire to return to a turbulent existence devoid of both love and hatred. In that state of neutrality, it becomes clearer to distinguish between good and bad. I often find myself pondering the selfishness of humanity. When people are in need, they turn a blind eye to flaws and faults. But as soon as the need disappears, they're quick to compile a laundry list of wrongdoings. Ultimately, managing priorities isn't within everyone's capabilities. The b
