A Discontent Sojourner: Now Free

Image
Are You Liberated Yet? With no intentions of questioning the "freedom" so often quoted and misquoted from News channels' endless debates to some University Scholars, I  wish to bring into foreground a far more important connotation of the word "freedom". When we talk of liberating the world and other sections of society, we just mean by giving them something that is fundamentally essential for their existence but never the "freedom" in essence. That's because we cannot give somebody something that we don't have yet! With all of us, the "so-called educated lot" the word 'freedom' conveys basically just our independence to make decisions, and act too. If elders or for that matter just other norms or controllers of society are not able to curtail our ways of doing things our way - it's freedom. Really? Let's rethink.... How we think or act is again based on our own limited experiences and knowledge gained ...

Listen!!

LISTEN!! It is often said that where animals "know," humans "know that they know ". Knowing that we know is the core capacity of human beings. We homo sapiens are more than sapient or wise , as we have the distinct capacity to know that we "know." This capacity for self observation is explosively powerful capacity that makes a man responsible for his actions. This can be termed as personal consciousness at times, but it goes beyond the physical organism, and is to be discovered in extended field of culture, society, nation or even beyond that...... There is a collective mind, also termed as "nous," where all our previous experiences of this and past lives are stored. This "collective Mind" is a kind of repository to which we all refer to when we act or take decisions. Hence, we all have the same source or in simple term, same dictionary to consult to! So, Unity and not Separatio n is our underlying reality ! It is our awakenin...

MEMORY IS FICTION

Image
To begin with, let me make a disclaimer that it has nothing to do with psychological theories etc...as I am not one who has read psychology as a subject for any degree, but yes, I have read Bergson and Deluze for my research purpose for understanding of memory concepts. Here, I am more concerned about the practical way of looking at things than theorizing and preaching... Now, is the reason for bringing this up: "For my friends especially to know and accept that their thoughts and lives are made by their own way of keeping those memory banks". We find it strange that we aren't able to remember why we opened fridge or our own password for opening up our email at times, but we remember the dress some girl (looking better than me 😠) wore with those high heeled catwalk shoes .. or may be ... what our relative once commented on our cooking not-so-round chapatis. Technically there can be reasons for that, but I would like to bring to foreground that it's more so...

SOMEDAY

Hey Dear All, This is my first post. Hence, I would like to begin with a brief introduction about myself. I am qualified English lecturer, an IELTS Trainer, an English teacher, an enthusiast who loves to explore, and experiment a lot with cooking. Well, did I mention the toughest job: Mom of two hyperactive kids aged 9 and 6 years. This post is about that "Someday" that we all are waiting for from eternity. Yes, that "someday" when we will start going for walks, or, reading our long-time to-read list of books, or going on a trip with good old friends... and.. for moms... even when we will once again start working their career out. We are waiting for rain to pour on everything down, and just give us a blank page where we can write that "someday" story. It is that one consistent thought that never left us from school days until now. Postponing all our "inner desires" for a moment called "Someday," knowing so well from inside tha...
