I just got back from submitting the form for my voter’s id.

Standing in the queue, a gentleman’s voice caught my attention.

“Oh! I am so glad I brought it along.”
“Oh! I am so glad I could be of use to someone.”

The crowd was gradually drifting to him.

Arrogance is to judge one’s self-worth by comparison with others.

To think that one is superior to those inferior to oneself and that one is equal to one’s equals is also arrogance.

To judge our self-worth by comparing ourselves with others is arrogance too.

We may be inclined to mistake our arrogance for confidence and others’ confidence for arrogance.

We do everything for our children : good schools, great guidance system, encourage, courses, chances to explore life, love.

Choosing a good school plays the greatest role.

But after we’ve exerted our lives towards their welfare, we still miss out on one very important thing.

School is a second home they say. Ever thought about the role of the first?

On marriage:

There are so many people on this earth. Does any one life really matter? But in a marriage, you are saying,

“I am the sole observer of your life.
Your every joy, your every moment of sadness, I’ll observe.
I will watch your little successes.
I’ll watch the bigger ones.
I’ll watch how you become a kid all over again with the children.

The Indian fetish for white. Oh my God! I am really tired now. All around, the judgement parameters are just 2 – fair (kitnni gori hai!) and slim (kitni patli hai)…and solely these 2!

A poem takes birth inside the poet. It grows there.
An architect conceives the idea of a building. It grows inside him.
A sculptor takes inspiration for his models. It grows and develops inside him.
A painting takes birth in the heart of an artist. It develops inside him.

The poem is dead as soon as it comes on the paper.
It signifies life, beauty. But is dead.

PMS and men? What is the connection? No. Is there a connection at all?

A few days back, I wrote a bog on fusion in polarity. I described the fusion of both the sexes into every being. If you are a male, your female self is hidden in your dark recesses and vice versa.

Addiction
What makes a person smoke on the endless chain of cigarettes?
What makes someone drown himself in liquor?
What makes someone sniff on a line of cocaine?

Fun.
Ok!

Then, why the addiction?
I guess they have an intoxicating effect on the brain and with regular intake, you get addicted.

You’re a sensible human being. Nothing can overtake you ever if you do not allow it.

The archetypal image of Yang-yin has always been very fascinating. Technically speaking, it is a Chinese symbol representing the union of the opposite forces of the yang (masculine principle) and the yin (female principle). The light part represents the male and the dark one, the female.

The small black dot in yang symolises the birth of yin and yang and vice-versa.
