Log Kya Kahenge!!

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?

  2. Exactly. 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.

Working Mothers

Hello everyone!! here I am back with another queer inquisitive thought of my mind..."Working Mothers". I have often wondered that when a child is asked to introduce oneself, the sentence he is asked 'where does your father work ?, and your mother what does she do?", "is she working or not?" Why can't the question be reversed and the question asked about the father is also asked similarly for the mother. Surprising the concept of maternity leave always existed, and most of the women preferred to take it after the child is born as that is when the responsibility doubles. But what about Paternity leave?, it took us so many years to realize that a father is also responsible for a child's upbringing. A mother who joins office soon after child birth is looked down upon. Instead of supporting her people will ask her "why so soon it's only 3 months or 6 months." Did anyone for once ask the new father, "why so soon it's only been

Optimistic vs. Realistic

Today when everything around has slowed down and we are stretching ourselves to achieve our full potential by managing both home and office, we often tend to loose ourselves in all the hustle bustle. We follow the same routine and have become machines. In this everyday tussle we forget who we are and what are our wants. This is when we start sinking in the world unknown and we 'try' and search the brighter side of our lives but when we fail to do so we tend to curse our luck and everything around us. If you have noticed closely, we will always find two sort of people around us firstly the Optimistic category who will just overlook the negative and ugly things around. I feel they live in a wonderland of their own and wish to see only happy things around them. This style of facing our life is definitely good as we stay away from worries and tensions, but the discord strikes when something bad happens and we can't look beyond the sadness that is when we sink into the dark un
