This is not just a quarantine frustration blog, on the contrary I am quite enjoying my quarantine period. It's not everyday that we get a chance to discover ourselves and spend quality time with our loved ones. This blog is created to find an answer to all those subconscious thoughts which we bury somewhere and eventually give up on the tussle that life throws at us constantly. I am just trying to speak my heart out and reach out to all those who think alike. Please feel free to judge and comment as I am new here and any sort of comment is most welcome, will wait for them with open mind. Till then enjoy reading!!
The Question that always haunts a human mind is "Am I doing it right","should I do it","can we take the chance", so on and so forth. We think and think till we do what we are exactly expected to do not by us but by all those judgmental eyes waiting to grab that single opportunity where one can be demeaned for doing it in an improper way. But then who decides what is proper or improper, it's the crowd out there and we are their sheeple. Let me go a step ahead and take the liberty to explain it as per my understanding.
We often think that,I am a smart Independent person capable of taking my decisions, that's exactly where the wheels start churning and churn till we contemplate so much that we end up doing what we didn't quite approve ourselves of doing. Why is the mind always triggered with what is expected of us rather than what we expected from us?
This 'log kya kahenge' factor has ruled our lives for so long that how so ever hard we try to prove to others that we do things our way it doesn't go that way.
The fight starts from childhood, for example, a boy plans rather aspires to be a chef or fashion designer- the choices are believed to be ghastly and looked down upon even when a few of the best from both these fields are men, still unfortunately the monotony of social expectations could not be broken. A girl aspires to be a pilot, civil engineer or a politician, she will be harrowed and showed the cons of how these are not the correct choices for a woman.
The question is why should we be boggled down by what others think of us why do we have to follow the usual? why can't a man be a house husband or stay at home dad while the lady of the house earns for the household and pursues her dream. When the people involved in the arrangement are comfortable why bother what others say. Why can't things change and be done as per ones choice. Maybe its easier said than done. However times are changing and there are people like late Sushma Swaraj, late kalpana Chawla, James Rubin,Todd Palin who have proved that breaking up with the monotony of thought has made them more successful and happier.
This 'log kya kahenge' factor has arisen to such an extreme that it has affected all the generations in some or the other way and one or the other soul has been crushed and forced to give up on their dreams or thoughts. However the question we need to raise here is how long will this be tolerated and will it be allowed to get the better of us?
Awesome, it must have crossed or is something everybody has in the mind but no one has actually came forward and spoken or written about it. You came, you wrote and gave some people to really think and do the required work as per there wish without thinking the common fear of " LOG KYA KAHENGE". 👌🏻✌🏻👍🏻😊
ReplyDeleteExactly. Even I have also faced this type of situation many times. But could not tell anyone nor express it to someone because I thought in this materialistic world every one thinks of money only as per today's scenario is concerned.
ReplyDeleteSo true...all that one is concerned about is money and the benefits...
