Unhappy? Create a happy mood folder

-


The lockdown is taking a toll on everyone, making us feel depressed and stressed out. We want to get back to our previous life, but we are all stuck at home. While the mood of despair can make us unhappy and sad, the answer could be in trying to remain upbeat even in these gloomy days. How do we do that? Why not create a ‘Happy Mood’ folder and fill it with anything and everything that makes you happy, after all we are living in the world of technology! Open this folder whenever you are sad, unhappy. Kind of cool, right?

So, here’s a sneak peek of my 'Happy Mood' folder:
  • Tom and Jerry: A classic, any day!
  • Dexter’s Laboratory: All for Dexter and of course Dee-Dee!
  • Urban dictionary: Shakespeare and Aristotle would have died twice over reading some of these definitions!
  • I am so wild about Wilde: No pun intended here, I really love this guy. Don’t believe me, read him. Although, ironical, this is one of my favourite Wilde quotes: “A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.”
  • Songs of Kishore Kumar: Lovely Kishore da, and his amazing songs - cheel cheel chillake, Aake Seedhi Lagi Dil Pe. Then there is the legendary – Meri bhains ko danda kyun mara
  • Andaz Apna Apna: 'Ooii Maa!' and 'Aai laa!’, this cult movie I can watch anytime. Highly frivolous and stupidly entertaining, ‘Crime Master Gogo naam hai mera, Mogambo ka bhatija, aaya huin toh kuch loot ke hi jayunga’. Epic!
Then there are funny messages, inspirational chats, memes that always bring a smile on my face.

Maybe, it’s time to create your ‘Happy Mood’ folder too!

Hugs and love :)

    Part of my happy folder are the baby and toddler videos of my son. Guaranteed to make me smile :-)
    My U is for the uniformity I experienced in my own country upon returning from the sensory overloaded jungle:

Apology is just saying ‘I am sorry!’

-

Apologizing is not an art. And, come to think of it, it is not even a science. It is just an expression of admitting to that stupidly dumb thing you had done, which could have been otherwise avoided. Then, why is it so hard to apologize? There could be multiple reasons, but the prime one is you know you have screwed up, you don’t want to face the ramifications, there could be explosives at the other end, and you don’t want to basically face the music. But that’s the escapist route. I think the best way to apologize is to apologize the moment you know you have done something wrong. Don’t linger it. Because not only you are prolonging someone’s pain, but you are also pushing your luck too far! Next comes the question, how? That’s simple too. Just tell the person that you are sorry. There isn’t any need for prolonged explanations, bouquets of flowers, boxes of chocolates or expensive gifts. A simple and sincere ‘I am sorry’ is enough to let the other person know that you had...

Badrinath Ki Dulhania…A great movie on clichés

-
Image
Brides in India are supposed to bring loads and loads and loads of dowry. That’s the truth of the entire country – be it the hinterland Bharat or the upwardly mobile India. A girl is still a liability, and boy an asset. And yes, we don’t believe in family planning, unless we are lucky enough to have sons during the first few attempts. To hell with Beti Bachao Beti Padhao! We are here to raise a generation of girls who are taught to remain in their ‘ maryada ’ and boys trained to become MCPs. Now imagine such a heavy dosage theme turned into an entertaining movie. Did I hear impossible? With Badrinath Ki Dulhania, that’s exactly what newbie director Shashank Khaitan made possible. In its outer packaging, this rom-com looks fun and entertaining, but the deeper themes of dowry, gender inequality, women emancipation, sexism, interweaved in the movie portray the condition of the society we still live in. It is in this very ‘progressive’ India the protagonist Vaidehi (another ...

Will I ever become a published author?

-
Image
I am a writer, editor and strategist. I have been writing since I was 10 years old. I have written numerous poems, short stories, articles, blogs, white papers, research papers etc. etc. etc. However, in one aspect, I have been failing myself constantly, that is, being a published author . I dream to hold a book with my name printed on it as the author, and despite having varied ideas, somehow, I fail to execute them. I constantly keep pushing this one major bucketlist item to the bottom of the list. I keep questioning myself, why do I do it? I don't have dearth of ideas. I have been writing for years, I certainly know how to write and edit. Then, why do I just do not start writing and finish a book? The answer could be in the following questions: 1. Am I afraid of being judged by what I will write? 2. Am I scared that I will fail miserably as an author? 3. Am I focused on other priorities in my life / career that I cannot give sufficient time to write a book? 4. Am ...
