PEOPLE I MET LAST WEEK........


Hope the Monday blues are gone and you are up on your toes for another fantastic week ahead. We have all been hooked to the digital territory for a long while now (90 days is long….) And we get to meet so many people across digital platforms. Last week, I came across four brave, fiery, naive and sexy women on my #DigitalDabba (Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney + Hotstar) I know. You have already started guessing their names. Yes. You are right. They reminded me of the fact that even before we were tagged as #WOMEN we are #HUMAN. If you ask me I would say each one of us is special in some way or the other not because we are women, but because we understand what being a woman is. It struck me then that I should share what I felt about these 4 women with all you.

 

#Disclaimer: It is not a review of the movie / show / character / screenplay. Nor is it a comparison of who was best. It is plainly my opinion about those women who made me sit up and watch all along without even a blink (a little exaggeration helps boost my lethargic pangs).

 

1.      #LIFEGOALS – Each one of them I met had different life goals. The first one was a pregnant woman who had lost her eldest kid few years back and was not sure if he was alive too. It was gripping to see how a mother can go to any extent to see her kid safe. The second one was a fiery woman, a mother of three, who tries hard to survive and put an end to the dark business of drug dealing taken care by men of her family which was the reason she lost her husband. The third one was an innocent little girl, all of 18 – 20 who lives in a village and falls prey to the dubious ways of someone she accidentally comes across all thanks to a wrong phone call. The last one, is someone who loves to be like any other normal woman but has to pretend to be abnormal to realise her normal goals.


2.     #STRENGTHS – Despite being pregnant, the first one made it to the end and found her lost son. What surprised me was, the fact that she was pregnant (8 months I guess) turned out to be her greatest strength in getting to her lost kid. The second woman on the contrary made it a point to let the world know that her kids were her strength, no matter what. The third one was a naïve little girl but found her strength in her own instincts and presence of mind. The last one, proved to me that our greatest strength lies in being totally unapologetic about oneself.


3.     #FATALBLOWS – The first one had almost caught up with the person who had been abducting kids for a while now only to figure out that her son was not only abducted but was tortured both physically and mentally for all these years by one of her best friends from childhood. All because of jealousy and being compared to her ever since they became friends. The second one had succeeded in getting the drug business closed at the cost of losing her younger sister to death only to realise that it was her family that was behind her husband’s murder. The naïve little girl runs away from home and comes to the city to meet the man whom she had fallen for only by talking on phone. That is when she finds out the truth about him and is shaken. The last one initially seemed the tricky type who lures men for her physical desires until a secret about her is unraveled which made me empathise with her only to leave me happily confused in the end.


4.     #GIVEAWAYS – The first one taught me that life punishes us for mistakes we have not committed only to teach us lessons we would have never learnt. The second one taught me that kids or no kids, a lioness will always remain a lioness. She just needs to be reminded of the fact at times. The naïve little one taught me that even though we come across people who are there just to take advantage of us, we should not stop believing people, instead we should listen more keenly to our instincts. The last one taught me that no matter what you do or what you say, people are going to talk about you. So, there is no point in faking it. Rather embrace yourself and move on.  

 


I am sure you must be eager to meet them too by now. If you have guessed them, go ahead and meet them. If you have already met them, do let me know how you felt. Would love to know that.

Monday Mornings

Monday Mornings taught me that it's fine to forget the sweet memories of yesterday and move on to the goodies coming forth. During my early days of life Monday Mornings were filled with gradual lethargy caused due to the remains of the previous days' fun and frolic leading to come up with various reasons of not going to School but in vain. A little later they marked the excitement of getting back to my pals with juicy gossip and blabber within me and I started looking forward to the Monday Mornings. End of school and it looked as if these Monday Mornings would never turn up again in life. And they never did....till date. Monday Mornings taught me that it is not always what happens but also who all were with us when it happened that that makes it a special memory.   When in college it was a different story altogether. We considered it to be the best day of the whole week when we used to spend the whole day scheduling our week on submitting assignments with " Better late ...

A Religion called TECHNOLOGY

How many of us understand our religion let alone following it religiously? None. Now that was way too easy. Most of us actually get irritated on the name of religion, yes, you read it right. IRRITATED. Might be because it's so complicated to understand and more so to follow. Yet, there's a strange thing which I have noticed. A special religion which we keep following while we study, play, work, dine, gossip and even when we need to communicate to one another. A religion which we follow sub consciously all through the day and can't do without. A religion, called TECHNOLOGY .  A religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs - Wikipedia says it.   We don't wake up to the tinkling of our Mom's Bangles, we don't g...

Change - the only constant in any equation - LIFE.

According to the world's best teacher, everything does not remain the same and the essence lies in not remaining the same, for better or for worse. Anything that stays the same for long either becomes stagnant or turns out to be an addiction. This teacher of mine taught me that it is an art and there are no masters or leaders at it, only beginners and followers. An art that can make a world out of nothing or nothing out of the world. An art which is seldom taught but definitely learnt by one and all. An art which can turn the tables upside down. An art called CHANGE. As a kid I always wanted to change the way people around looked at me but could not help doing much about it. With the kind of ways that I chose, it was but evident that people around would surely consider me an insane nut with few loose screws here and there. Pity. Every now and then at School and College I wished for a change in what was being taught to us as it was like trying to learn something which I was not ...
