GOD- MYTH OR TRUTH

GOD- MYTH OR TRUTH

Shocked or thinking that the writer is Insane because she is writing something which cannot be challenged or proved???

Well I am neither an insane nor challenging the unprovable fact. Coz for majority of people across universe GOD is THE TRUTH; an IRREFUTABLE TRUTH. But some of we writers have this habit of challenging the irrefutable facts based on incidents which have occurred either in our lives or in the lives of people closely associated with us. Certain set of events and incidents which have occurred in the recent past, have left me pondering whether God really exists, is he actually the ephemeral truth or just a myth. I Hindi we say “ Mano to bhagwan, nahi to pathar”, now I actually have started feeling is he really the GOD or only a stone whom we believe in not because of trust but out of fear.

This world is an ensemble of people, good and bad, some who live for others and others who use fellow human beings just to make their selfish ends meet. Once their target is achieved, goals met, they throw aside their prey as if the poor human being is nothing less than a tissue paper. They do not even damn to care about the feelings of their prey. Yes I purposely and categorically use the word prey, because that is what the victimised souls be addressed as. Poor souls do not even realise that all the attention and importance that they are receiving is not because they are good or they hold importance in someone’s lives, but because they are important for achieving some selfish ulterior motive they are completely unaware about. Because their of inherent goodness and belief that GOD DOES GOOD TO THOSE WHO DO GOOD TO OTHERS, they fell victim to such multi-faceted double edged sword individuals and get finally mutilated once their need is over.

If GOD really existed then such injustice would have never happened with the noble people and those who hurt and use others would have been penalised to such extent that even their shadow would fear in doing such deed again to anyone. But no our so called GOD does not do anything and history repeats itself. Some other noble soul falls prey of such selfish and mean people and get vandalised. If GOD really existed then justice would have happened and the ill doer penalised. But no the fact is that ill doer lives the life on his/her terms and conditions, traumatising good people one after the another with not even a pinch of guilt in soul. Why this injustice with us, the good people?? Are we paying for our goodness or for providing a helping hand to all in need???? Is being a good human being a crime?? Is believing in GOD a bane??? We all say GOD will set all equations straight and ALL WILL BE WELL!!!!!!!!!! But neither does GOD do even to all nor does the wrong does gets punished.

Now I seriously neither believe in GOD or THE KARMA…. Both do injustice only to those who believe in them!!! It seems being good and just is a crime in this world… Coz both of them only lead to your insult, humiliation and mockery in the world. If GOD really existed then at least Self Respect of someone would not be made a butt of jokes… Someone would not have become a piece of mockery to such an extent that the person would lose his self-confidence and faith in oneself. If this what GOD is all about and if this is what is reaped off on being good, I wish to get rid of my goodness as soon as possible.

For me and for many people like me, our Self-Respect is more important to us than even our lives. If our GOD cannot protect our self-respect or rather if our GOD is a mute witness of the slaughter of our self-respect, then I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS GOD!! THIS IS NOT THE GOD I WAS TAUGHT TO BELIEVE IN SINCE MY CHILDHOOD. When it comes to self-respect and justice, even if GOD needs to prove his existence, then HE HAS TO. He need to punish the wrong doers and set forth an example that if you play with the emotions of someone, the only punishment you deserve is EXTINCTION. Yes extinction, coz such people are a harm to the society. Do we need such people who use people to fulfil their own selfish motives or we need people who wish to serve society selflessly.

I am sure all of us need people who cater to the need to building a society which is for the betterment of mankind; which makes this earth a better place to live. If GOD really exists then he has to help people like us to get justice and get the selfish stock of people eradicated. If this does not happen, and if this selfish bunch of people prospers, I will stick to the title of my piece- “GOD IS A MYTH”.

The Last Leaf!!!

THE LAST LEAF

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

--Robert Frost

So true are these words said by the great poet Sir Robert Frost. Each passing year makes me believe how true these eternal words are!!!The world remains the same, birds chirp, wind blows, sun shines but we need to move ahead in life. Each passing day posing new challenges, showcasing different arenas, visiting different locations, meeting different people. Each day I wake up with a new vigor, an extra energy to explore new avenues of life!!!

Each day I do new things, I succeed in some, fail in many but still I learn a new lesson in life. I meet new people daily, some of whom I chat with, some of whom I just pass a smile and some I do not even notice. This is not the story of ME but WE. All of us face this situation daily.  All of us face this situation daily. We meet people, forget some but a few become a treasured part of our life; our integral self!!

Each year passes like a Saumur Sault. We face situations which make us learn from it; grow better as human beings. It again depends on us on how we take these situations. We might become strong from it, ready with a new vigor to face new challenges in life. Alternatively, we might get discouraged by these hurdles and take few steps back from our “Karma” path. It is our own view point and willpower which might take us back or forth.

Year 2015 has passed!!! It was a mixed bag of emotions for all of us. Some memories bitter, some sweet, some memorable others disheartening. We met and ensemble of people, did plethora of tasks and faced innumerable obstacles. All these gave us experiences which made us a bit different person in a year. I don’t know what others feel or think but I feel myself a different person by the time I enter 2016.

2015 taught me a lot; how to analyze people and situation, tackle with testing times, overcome sorrow, find joy within you and moreover how to keep the fighter inside you alive. That one spirit if ignited gives you a reason to live and move forward in life. I do not say that every year that comes holds goodies within. But yes it gives us strength to fight all odds and enter the thresholds of new times. For me 2015 was pathetic. All despairs, little hope. But I firmly believe that “When the darkest phase of night comes, dawn is about to spread.” And this hope kept me optimistic to move ahead in life. At the end the dawn showered upon and though the Last Leaf shredded by Autumn it gave a hope that spring is around the corner and life will blossom again.

The Last Leaf of 2015 is over!!! But spring of 2016 is around the corner; Spring of hopes, desires, wishes, friendship, love!!!! I hope 2016 gives us all whatever we wish to achieve in life, to live more, love more. I hope the spring of 2016 be fruitful to all of us. Till then keep the fighter within you alive because I have heard somewhere “Mushkilon ka hal aksar mushkilon se milkar hi milta hai”.

Lastly I am really sorry for not updating the blog since long. I know any excuse is not worth an escape for the mistake done but I really got a bit tied-up in life. I would henceforth try to be regular in updation. Please feel free to share your feedbacks on this piece of work. Your words would help me improvise myself.

Till then keep smiling and spread happiness around!!!

Loads of love,

Women Empowerment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Women Empowerment

Hello guys? How is everyone doing? Wish you all a very Happy Navratri and a very Happy Dussera too!!

Actually I was in a jinx as to what should I write in my next post and a friend of mine suggested that I should write something on “Women Empowerment” and I thought what could be better than the occasion of Navratri to pen down my thoughts!

Navratri a festival which marks the strength which each and every lady within her! A festival which potrays that how powerful a lady is and how dangerous she can be when it comes to protecting herself and her family!

“Women Empowerment”- the name when read or heard seems very impactful but according to me it has started getting its proper recognition down the line 5-7 years only. 20-30 years ago women were considered inferior to men in each and every field. Many of our mothers were not allowed to study further post 12^th standard because a learned lady was considered a taboo in that period, being financially independent was far from approach!! Back in those days the only work of women was to take care of their families. Slowly the world progressed and we saw transition in the thinking of people. Our generation is lucky enough that we got a chance to get a very nice education, motivated for pursuing professional studies and become self-reliant.

There was a time when people were not willing to appoint a female in the organization with a pre-conceived notion that they are incompetent and even if they were appointed, they weren’t paid or treated well.

Today the world has witnessed a paradigm shift in the thinking process. Women are now equally or should I say more competent than men. In each and every sphere of life right from school education, to clearing competitive exams girls have given a tough competition to boys. Whether it is the field of sports, arts, entertainment, politics or aeronautics or businesses, women have made their mark! Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, Priyanka Chopra, Hillary Clinton, Sunita Williams, Indra Nooyi the list seems endless, but they have achieved such milestones in life that everyone idolizes them and aspires to follow their footprints. It is due to the contribution of these great women that the world realized the power of Women and bowed their heads in front of Women Empowerment!!! Women have earned their empowerment and the world is now in awe of it!!!

Women Empowerment is not just being equal to men in all spheres of life, it also means empowering ourselves with our strength. Each one of us has that innate power to identify between right and wrong, good and evil; the need is to invoke these traits and to use them for the betterment of humankind.

We should fight against the wrong happening around us, stand with the people who need our support. That would be Women Empowerment in true sense!!! If we get an excellent lifestyle to live but we do not help others to have a sustainable lifestyle; then we are not respecting the opportunities that we have been blessed with. We need to be always ready to take steps to make world a better place to live in.

A woman according to me has always been the cause of revolution in world! From Draupadi, Rani Laxmi Bai, Queen Elizabeth, and Helen Keller each one of them brought a revolution in the era they belonged too. We now need to replicate these steps in the era we live in. We see lot of unjust thing happening around us especially on woman. When a woman is beaten, insulted or abused most of us just keep quiet trying not to be involved in others matter. Why??? Because we feel that by doing us we might end up in trouble or our name might catch up negative publicity. This is very stoop thinking because if one human being will not support another, how would this world be a good place to live in!! Remember what happens with others can happen with us too and then we might feel the pain that others underwent through.

If Draupadi would have kept mum then Mahabharata would never have taken place and this world would not have got rid of evil. She raised her voice and brought a revolution which liberated humankind of all evils and led to the beginning of new era.

We celebrate Navratri to pay homage to Goddess Durga! Goddess Durga was such a strong lady who didn’t think twice to kill demon Mahisasur in order to get earth freed from pains inflicted by him.

We all now have to make a part of Goddess Durga and Iron Lady Draupadi enlightened within us so as to fight all evils. That would give a true empowerment to us and we would feel more proud that we rendered our role as a responsible member of this society.

These are my views on women empowerment. I would appreciate that you too share your views on the same!!!

Till then take care and spread happiness!!!!!

Reporters- A journey to be cherished for life!!!

Reporters – A journey to be cherished for life!!!!

“After thunder the rains must come....”

Yes these words exactly depicer the journey of my beloved show “Reporters”.

Reporters – Khabrein Dil se Dil tak! – it is not a name of just another show; but actually a title of revolution. A revolution which it brought in the Television world which before 6 months was dominated with saas bahu saga! It came as a thunderstorm on 13^th April’2015 @ 9 pm and showered upon us a story which is so relatable to the life of a common man, so practical, so believable. Each character depicted a trait which is present in each one of us. Everyone of us has a small portion of Kabir, Ananya, Richa, Manav and Malvika too in ourselves. All of us have a pinch of these traits and these spice up our life!

In the journey of 6 months Reporters has shown us the entire spectrum of human emotions and turmoil which we all go through in our journey of life. The Jaane Se Pehle (JSP) moments actually taught us lesson of life and I have always mentioned that to me JSP’s are like soothers and healers.

People say that Reporters did not fair in TRPs but according to me there are certain things which are above the TRP games and Reporters is one of them.  It has set a benchmark because it never let the essence of the show get faded for the sake of silly TRPs.

Yes, Reporters is a cult show, whether people accept it or not, they just cannot ignore it.

As the show has now bid adieu, I would like to pay a small tribute to some of my favourite members of this beautiful ensemble who made this historic event possible. Words are not enough to express my gratitude but I still want to give it a try; wo kehte hai na ki kaash se koshish bhali

So here I put my heart out for you:-

      Shristi Arya and Goldie Behl:- From Remix to Reporters you guys are just unbelievable! You do magic and set benchmarks impossible for anyone to achieve. Salute to both of you!

      Satyam Tripathy:- I am big fan of yours since Left Right Left days. And I am so happy that even after 9 years you recreated the same magic on us. LRL changed the face of Indian Television and Reporters repeated history! Your JSP moment idea was amazing. JSP was actually the USP of Reporters!!

      Shivangi Verma:- I am following you since your first show Hamari Sister Didi. And I must say that you are such a natural actor! How effortlessly you act! From Mehak to Richa your transition in simply WOW!!!!

      Puru Chiber:- Ronnie made friendship eternal!! And only you could do justice to it. Everytime I saw Ronnie’s friendship is so badly missed my best friend who is no more. Fabulous job Puru!

      Kritika Kamra:- You are among those few female actresses who has always opted for unconventional shows and potrayed them so well! You literally got into the skin of Ananya!!!! I simply loved the fighter spirit and Never Say Die attitude of Ananya. Thankyou for giving us Ananya!

      Sammeer Arora:- First of all a big big big thank you Sir for always replying to my FB posts. I am big fan of yours since EHT days. What a thriller series it was! No nonsense, straight to the point, a crisp strong story line. I was in awe with the show!!! Little did I know that 4 months post its ending you would recreate the magic with Reporters, again a tight gripped story which so real and believable. What touched me the most was that you always respect your fans wishes a lot, whether making Ronnie and Richa meet finally or Ananya sharing last JSP with KabirJJ

You are such an amazing person who though being a cult personality always took time to chat with all of us and respect our wishes! Thank you sir!!

And last but the best my hero Rajeev Khandelwal – Rajeev, the name says it all!! I am big fan of yours since KTH days. But fell crazily in love with you as Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat of LRL. Even post 9 years I still watch LRL on YT and miss it like hellL Your leaving LRL was a bit traumatic for me but I was happy with the niche you carved for yourself in Bollywood. Honestly I missed you lot on TV. I had even lost the hope that you would ever return to TV. But as what my Capt Rajveer said” Jab tak saanse hai tab tak umeed hai aur jab tak umeed hai sipahi har nahi maana karte!!” And finally you came back on TV as Kabir Sharma! Uff your attitude, persona, body language it all killed meJJ But honestly no other actor could do Kabir Sharma except you. They could not even come an inch close to the character! Only you had that flamboyance to potray that character. The way you reply to all your fans on Twitter (though I never get a replyLLL) is so heart touching! You care for all of us so much. And all of this makes me fall more and more in love with you! So thank you for giving me Kabir Sharma which made me relive my eternal Capt Rajveer (I dunno why but Kabir’s character always gives me flashes of Rajveer).  Love you forever!!!

So this is my small tribute the Reporters. I hope everyone likes it and I wish all the people mentioned above somehow get to read it. Sammeer Sir please help me in this !!!

Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end! They just mean that we will meet soon!!! With this I end my long emotional journey...

Aur Jaane Se Pehle, I would like to dedicate a song to entire Reporters team: Tumko bhi hai khabar, mujhko bhi hai pata, ho raha hai juda dono ka rasta, dur jaage bhi mujhe tum meri yadon me rehna, Kabhi Alvida na Kehna, Kabhi Alvida na Kehna!!

Loads of Love

Different Strokes

Writer within you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello guys!!!! How is everyone doing? This is my first hands on experience with writing and I hope I don’t disappoint anyone of you. So before I start writing I would give a brief introduction of myself.

Hi guys I am Megha, a marketer by profession but have a passion towards words!!!!!!! Yes I say it as words coz I have not written anything before, but I still have a flare for writing! And I thought as this is my first post I would write something which is relatable to all of us.

Writer within you!!!!!!!! Isn’t it really true!!! All of us young or old have a writer within us. We may not be as good as professional writers but we do have this flare of penning down our thoughts. Each one of has this within us whether consciously or sub-consciously.

As a toddler the writer within us reflected in the lines that we sketched on paper to express our views. Unable to speak we used to draw lines of different styles to express our sorrow, happiness, anger, fear and pain. Yes those were the signs of “Different Strokes” of life which mostly go unnoticed J

Slowly as we grow up the writer within us also grows up and this time he is vocal! As a kid we make many imaginative stories just to express our different thoughts and expressions and sometimes to grab others attention J

Gradually the thought that “Pen is mightier than sword” turns true and the pen gives us the strength to put down our thoughts on paper!

“Personal Diary” I believe is the first sign but the most prominent one to prove that all of us have a writer within us! All of us at one point of time have written our Personal Diaries where we put our heart out and penned all our emotions which we were not able to share with anyone! This is the power of pen which enables us to sketch our emotions on a piece of paper and make that small diary our best friend!!!

Slam books! Again is an example of the writer’s skill thought this time the person who fills the book J

So as I said all of us have a writer within us. All we need is to understand this to nurture this writer and to encourage it to express our thoughts some of which are even unknown to us. This writer can even help us understand ourselves better and turn us in a better human being!!!

So that’s all for this first post. I have just found the writer within me and I am encouraging it to help me know myself better. I would appreciate that you too join me in my this journey and share your thoughts with me!!

Will continue adding “Different Strokes” to this writing journey of mine!!!

Till then take care and spread happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loads of love,

Megha
