Do we overburden our mothers?

This topic may seem unnecessary but the depth of this line is huge. Do we even realise that the things we do in our daily lives, the way in which we live everyday, have so many things related to us as an individual but fall upon our mothers.

Very basic things like washing clothes or making food or hanging wet towel outside and not keeping it on bed, the list can be long. Why do we just keep doing these things so casually and our dear mothers are soo sweet and innocent that they don't utter a single word against it, drifted by love for children.

She will never ask you to do all these things but does it mean that it should continue as it is? It's something which should be done by ourselves without someone asking us to do.

After all we all are growing, will go out to study and will probably marry eventually and then we struggle. We take these as burden whereas these are basic activities which should be done by everyone capable when you are young.

The cases of domestic violence, exploitation, divorce etc. make the headlines of the news and then we wonder why there's so much violence in society. No habit is developed in one day. It's the sum of all the activities that we have been practicing since our childhood.

Once we become mature we should realise this thing. And It's not difficult at all to be self independent not just in terms of finance but also in doing things on our own like cleaning our utensils or making our bed etc.

Some very basic ones. This doesn't cause any harm but will just provide a sigh of relief to them. And all of us should want that happily :)

Let's take responsibility of our own things whether small or big.

Huge respect for Mothers🌻.

Teachers : who never Complain

What does it mean?

Am I talking about their generosity towards us on the day of parent teacher meeting by not spilling the beans about us? :) It could be but that's not what I mean here.

For me teachers are one of the most patient beings I have ever met.

Do we ever bother ourselves to think that our teachers, who look so patient and content from outside are at times very bothered from within but they do not let that out on their faces or let it impact their teaching. I wonder how difficult it must be.

Students hardly notice and realise all these things and at times forget that teachers are also humans, someone's father, sister, aunt etc. and we just casually make fun of them and talk ill about them with our friends and make certain comments infront of them which makes the whole class laugh but they and we feel there's nothing wrong as such in it.

But have we ever asked them how they feel about it? Not really.

Teachers know their students so well, they really have eagle's eye but sometimes they feel helpless too, by looking at the students who are so lost in gossip and enjoying their student life that they forget to have respectable gesture towards teachers.

The way in which today's youth is forwarding troubles them but it's not entirely in their hands to fix it. Students themselves have a major role to play here. Why to talk about them by crossing the limits with your friends even if jokingly, aren't there any other topics to discuss? Do we really think it's appropriate? Just give a thought

There's a famous proverb in hindi, "Jab Jago Tabhi Sawera".

Honestly what it takes to respect teachers and in that matter everyone. Respect doesn't only mean following their direction, having good grades, speaking with them in a humble tone etc. but what I mean here is the gesture towards them, feeling of that respect for them.

One shouldn't try to play smart with them or take their humbleness or simplicity for granted because they know all but, just don't express at times. What we think is casual or just a small joke in class may cost us in future.

"Gurukul parampara should always be guiding our behavior in front of our teachers"

I firmly believe that youth is capable of moulding the society anytime. And it's never too late as I said. If there's evil there's also goodwill they are the two sides of the same coin. Both are always present to counteract and balance each other.

Don't respect anybody for the sake of respecting. They are in that superior position because they deserve it and one may realise it with time as they mature.

What grand does it take to be respectful?

So be kind and humble and keep respecting them

A very happy teacher's day to all ☀️🌻

P.S. No anti-youth sentiments here :)

You give coins to me and shopkeeper scolds me

U might wonder what does the above statement really mean? I was just sitting and relaxing when I gave money to my helper to bring some commodity from the market so instead of notes I gave her coins. The above sentence was her statement to me. She said "sikke aap dete ho daant mereko padti hai dukan wale se".

This line triggered my brain cells to think why and how come have we created such absurd notions?!

Coins are legal currency and equally valid as notes. The main thing isn't this, the fix here is, what's the motivation behind these kind of mindsets, I mean it's just a simple thing. Let's take a very basic example, everyone must have given coins to friends or classmates at some point of time in their lives for any reason and we tend to hear that "chillar nahi chahiye" ya "chutta apne pass hi rakho".

Why have we degraded the value of coins to this extent? And nobody actually thinks about it or gives a thought to these minute things which happen around us. This was a very basic example but, there are many abnormal things which are there surrounding us which lack any proper explaination and solid base but we tend to ignore these or not pay attention and then these get internalized and continue for ages.

There's a need to open our minds and be receptive and caring towards others and not to make unnecessary fun or react when it's not needed.

Mindset

Such thought-provoking lines on a mere sheet of paper. It could be anything in place of CASTE, whether it be discrimination/ inequality/ stratification/gender. Mindset is behind all these things which isn't changing but, why? Why don't we try from our side as an individual to bring change? Who will do it for you? And for how long are you gonna wait? If everybody will keep thinking that how does it even matter? Or what can we as individual can do, this mentality is never gonna change and it will continue as it has always been.

If we are educated and aware of its ill effects but are still not doing anything other than just talking about it then, it's very difficult to bring changes because all your knowledge and education go in vain. No matter if this thing has been continuing for hundreds of years or thousands.

We realise it now and it's never too late.

It's quite difficult for elder people to change it because they have internalized it so much, but YOUTH can contribute in wonderful ways to upgrade this. Things which need change should be changed now...

Every contribution matters even if it's a small one. Atleast start it. There are number of ways to do it. Find it by yourself that at which level you can do. Live and let others live, by live, I really mean it.

Why should I be heard?

This line popped in my mind this morning. Does having a right to speech also means the right to be heard? Because, until your needs and genuine demands aren't heard the right to speech can't be realised to its full potential. I think we all irrespective of any age, gender, race, nationality etc. have the right to exercise all the rights.

It is high time that we need a scissor or a knife to cut this loop.

But then the question arises that who is that scissor/knife and in which market it's sold?

Can a scissor/knife sold in regular markets fulfill this job? No, right, because patriarchy isn't a physical thing but an age old mindset and a evil. Hence this regular ✂️/ 🔪 is of no use. But, there's no doubt that these things are very much used to keep patriarchy alive and to haunt the oppressed section, mostly women. If you know u know🩸.

Ok, so, the main point is who has the power to shatter this centuries old system? Is it an individual or a group? Can a fair person end it or a tall dark handsome man? These questions are foolish because patriarchy is not sth which will end with just a snap. A combined effort is the need of the hour.

I strongly believe that no one can do it in a better way than today's youth. Their voice is always more heard, has a lasting impact and a deep effect than done by an adult in 30s or 40s.

Youth have unimaginable powers. It's just that they don't realize this and therefore are not able to channelize their power in the right direction to make society an egalitarian one and a better place to live. Most of them get carried away by fantasies of social media.

But that time is not very far when youth will come together to bring revolution and a system free from patriarchy. Why to fear to raise our voices against patriarchy's ill effects after all we all have the right to speech ;) I am utilizing mine by writing. You also do and

our voices will be heard💫

Living Life in a PG

"Living in PG is an essential chapter of living a sound and stress-free life which nobody should skip"

~ Anushka

PG life helps one in personality grooming and to be a better human being altogether. U learn to adjust in different situations, to cope up with things, to manage things on your own or in other words most importantly be self-dependent which instills in one a sense of power and courage to face every upcoming situation of life with a smile on your face.

It helps one to get out of the comfort zone of living in home and face real life challenges and obstacles or in other words come face to face with real world.

Once you experience it, you can see on your own what wonders it brings to you.

"To soar high in the sky it's necessary for the chick to step outside the nest"

~Anushka

To get a better idea of this you can go through the journey of a hatchling to nestling to finally fledgling when it's ready to leave the nest to learn to fly and survive in the wild.

NOTE- 'PG' word used here is equivalent to hostel or flat

LIFE IS A RACE

Everyone tries hard to be in the race of life either by hook or by crook. It doesn't matter if u run fast or slow but do you even walk? Cuz not everyone can come first. But everyone reaches their destination sooner or later.

Be a rational human being. U deserve every right and liberty not on the basis, if u are rich or poor, u belong to higher caste or lower caste rather because u are a human being in the first place. We all are SAMAJICANS.(People living in some society(i.e SAMAJ))

Question the unquestioned ! Be Afraid of being Afraid.

Do Extraordinary

"Why to always go with the ordinary and not aim to do something extraordinary?" Something out of the box, out of your comfort zone. You never know if that thing brings wonders for you.

Learn to take calculated risks. Always think big.
