Snakes & Ladders

What is the first or maybe what are the initial tjoughts when you hear this ? The game yes obviously, what more ? Maybe the typical one where you get to somewhere snd get pulled down by someone/ luck or just some happening if not induced by a person or thing There is something beyond these 2 immediate thoughts i could think of , rather heard it from someone and got a ready hand experience so thought to pen this one When you plan or think or something to be done for or with somebody special/close/ important be it family or friend or anybody who matters in some form The amount of thought or effort being put in to make the occasion special would vary depending on how important is that person or occasion, the emotional bonding/ how much you know the person or closeness / your own nature in terms of your thoughts being put in / the detailing or casual behavior - its a combination of involvement of self and on the other person both  Finally assuming the act done was not meant to be a tic...

The Only Control That Matters: Mastering Yourself

We often hear people say, “I am in control of the situation.” Usually, this means things are happening as they want: people are reacting as expected, situations are unfolding smoothly, and outcomes match their plans. But here’s the deeper question: are we truly in control when everything seems to fall in place? Or are we just experiencing a temporary alignment of circumstances beyond our control? The Illusion of Control Over People and Situations Expecting people to always behave as we want is like expecting a lion not to roar in the jungle. Everyone has their own emotions, priorities, and choices. Situations, too, are shaped by countless factors outside our influence. So when things “fall into place,” what we’re really experiencing is temporary alignment — not actual control. The Hardest Person to Control: Yourself Here’s the irony: while we try to control others, we often struggle to control ourselves. In anger or strong emotions, we say or do things we later regret. We o...

Being over protective

 Protecting, over protection, love - Do all of the above mean the same ? Or are they similar? You are generally protective about people you love and when this protection becomes over protection is something we really dont realise at times And trust me this happens hell lot of times Especially with parents , siblings or i guess any relationship this could be the case When we ourselves dont want to b told what has to be done every time but we do expect that the person we”love” should hear us and do just the way we want, no deviations pls  He or she can never get wrong, and the definition of wrong here is anything which one does not think is right is definitely wrong and how could he/she do this wrong There is no individuality left perhaps, its dependence on thoughts, actions and so to say even the thought process A person may appear independent but is somewhere mentally dependent and is always looking for a validation from the other person Knowingly or unknowingly he does that a...

Mann kaisa hai

 Mann kaisa hai ? Is a more deeper question than a “How r you” which is a generic question and the prior one is a more specific one on how r u feeling ? Could you feel multiple feelings at the same time ? Yes  About the same situation or thing or person ? Yes And multiple feelings about multiple things or people or situation at the same time ? Yes  What you think what you would want to divert your mind towards also largely drives what you feel how you feel At times even if sick you may feel normal nice but sometimes its sickening within Past thoughts, current feed and what should have happened or what should happen - the apt mix of these is quite essential to have a balance of feelings  Anything more than adequate in any form leads to over anxiety or happiness or sadness or just being lost in thoughts Apt way is dont over think , be in present, optimistic etc etc etc and so much good and apt sounding mechanisms But easier said than done I think seeing positive in all...

Adaption to change - part 1

 How is it to adapt to a change ?  Self adaption or adaption by others in case you are the one who has changed or who others think is changing ? This part lets speak about changes in personality or behavior instead of some materialistic changes And more to start with change in self and how people would react to it. Had this change been bad (the word has its relative degree) the reaction of people obviously would not a good one one would want “Bad” relative coz say a teenager from a conservative family decides to watch movie with friends or travel etc and may argue or fight to make parents agree. This would be change in behavior and parents may not really like it and feel its teenager tantrums. Extreme bad like getting into a bad habit deserves a nasty reaction. Lets talk about the more interesting part now.  When one wants to change for self good, say be calm when he appears to be landing into an argument or not argue or accept a mistake calmly or just be quiet. Since thi...
