Do you have an opinion yet, no...get one now.


Aren't we all getting too much opinionated? I am not saying it's a good or bad thing. Who am I to decide, right? However, I genuinely think the world will be much better with one less of an opinion. So I try not to give one, atleast on sensitive matters and unless asked for one.

These days any Tom Dick and Harry has an opinion about how to run a government. I mean seriously. Also like I said I dont have anything against having an opinion. Every fool has it too. Its your right. All I ask though, is it necessary to give it to all, unsolicited, on each and every matter. Isnt it exhausting?

Who wouldn't want to be a person of knowledge than to be a person of too many opinions. Having a say in all the things is unnecessary. Having no opinions at all when needed is also shamed. What needs to be done is having your opinion and holding to it until asked for it. Otherwise it loses its value.

People who choose to remain quiet on sensitive matters have their own reasons. For starters they might not want to confuse an already confused person or add one more layer to an already complex situation or add fuel to an already dangerous outrage. But all we do is sit and judge and opine.

Is your opinion really going to matter is what you should be asking yourself? If not why give one. If its going to change someones course of action for the good, then you shouldn't hold back as well. Gauge the situation and then act, which people seldom do. Instead, what we do is, we act in haste and then gauge the situation but then it's too late. The damage has been caused. And there is no turning back. You cannot unscramble scrambled eggs, can you?

We think our fellow men are in such dire need of our views and what we think is right that we want to share them instantly. Even Archimedes must have waited for a split second before shouting "Eureka, Eureka".

These days everyone thinks they know it all. Nobody wants an unsolicited advice.
In situations where you feel the foolishness is killing you, dont suffer fools gladly either.

Here's the thing to remember, being opinionated is a good thing until you respect what others opine, you should agree to disagree before the situation turns volatile and you should hold on to your opinion in sensitive matters unless asked for it. br />

Small niceties will take you a long way

Today I want to write about the thankless job we all are doing silently without complaining or standing up for ourselves when is required.Being a mother, a homemaker is as thankless as it gets. I ask myself- why do I not think about myself first. Why do I not love myself the way I should. Why are we conditioned as such that the moment we get married and then ofcourse when we have kids, we put ourselves later than everyone else. We should be asking the men in our lives this question - what joy can a woman give to her family if she herself is deprived of happiness. Now you will say define Happiness. I think happiness is very overrated. You don't and cannot run after happiness as It is not an object. It is a feeling of total bliss. If people think that we cant complain because we have the basic necessities and then some more, they are fools. Owning and buying things and objects gives us pleasure and not happiness. We are just human and not super moms or uber or ultra moms. Th

Help yourself because no one else will.

There are some days when you just get too tired. Emotionally tired, physically tired, mentally tired. The feeling to not do anything sticks with you for a long time. The melancholy which sets in is depressing and doesnt seem to end. The light at the end of the tunnel seems fictional. All that you can see is darkness around and you being dispersed in it. You want to come out of it but you cannot. Darkness is ruthless and its grip tenacious. If you let the feeling linger around you all the time, it will pull you in more. But as soon as you try to free yourself from its shackles the better you start feeling. What got you here wont get you there. It means everytime you are sad you have to use different tactics to come out of the sadness. The same way wont always work for different situations. The more you work at it, the better you get at it. Meditation is one fantastic option. And by meditation I dont mean closing your eyes and sitting for hours together, trying not to thi
