Why fit in when you can stand out! Ace yourself, race yourself, build yourself, but in the end be yourself.

One day you are so tiny that you think nothing can fit you just right, then you grow into people who are still trying to fit in, only this time not into some clothes or footwear but in this society-the groups (the nerds, the cool gang, the fashionistas).. Bravo job done there! How much pride do we take in willingly giving in our identities and wearing someone else's influence just to fit in.!

Why kill the perfectly unique person you are and become someone's fake twin.

Why sitting down for a while, taking a break from the race is a sign of weakness when embracing defeats is all we have been taught since the day we gained our sanity (though still a lot of gaining pending there for all of us). We all need a little recharge once a while, some sweet and harmless cheat codes, and some shoulders to carry us for a while.

I propagate self-sufficiency and self-dependence and strength and so will our clads but that is never a hint to believe that being weak once a while is an offence. What in fact is a crime is sinking deep into dependence and losing faith FOREVER. 

We all are meant to fall and rise even stronger than ever.

I do not write something unusual. I just extend a reminder of what is known to you. Because we have made ourselves the believers of someone else's words over our own.

If even 10 of you amazing readers decide to flaunt your true self tomorrow, my work is done. Because you people will create a chain further.

Trends are called trends for a reason. They are supposed to change.

If something is a pole star (constant) in your life. It is you. Embrace every bit of annoying detail of oneself.

Let us all tell ourselves how much we love our own selves. If you are having trouble loving yourself then you need to work on the flaws and not disguising to be someone else someone else's qualities.

No one can be a better YOU. The very Beautiful you. Yes YOU. YOU Indeed. 

Sheetalism# Season 10

SOCIETY- if rearranged "O YES C IT" (society on look out for gossips)

One day at a time.

How often do we find ourselves in tight spots, fighting a battle sometimes with abstract issues and not just real humans.Saying bunch of times will be an understatement. The panic created due to hustle bustle and hush hush of societies, the illogical chatter by the self proclaimed disciplined society is what has become our legacy. Well some moments created by society are real soap opera material super candid you see(tried a little punch of sarcasm there)..Well it's a Sunday and I cannot just start off too heavy there but then, they say its modern society and generation gap that some bits of society are their to judge the EVOLUTION (a positive word untill it comes in the hands of our society). Kuch toh log kahengy, logon ka kaam h kehna that one has been quite a song for a long while but still holds true. The world talks about who invented internet or phones and the like. Well I am keen to know who invented gossips, judgements, demeaning, superstitions, and the like. Well who ever did have probably cursed the believers and practioners bad but the bliss of breaking the curse stays with us..One day at a time people but start your calendars with different hopes and resolutions. We need to buck up.

We do not ask for unreasonable freedom, all the society needs is a make over, a better outlook, eyes full of love and pride and not judgements.

If footsteps are to be taken in a forward direction, they cannot be taken with chained feet.

Guidance and support, understanding of right and wrong with logical rationale is what this society needs. It is high time we stop being super critics and grow and let grow.

Sheetalism#Season 9

CHOICES- They choose to be tough,are you?

There will always be a road less travelled, a road with a left and a right turn. And even when you think you do not have it, you will always have it - A choice, yes a choice is somehow always omnipresent (present everywhere). Sometimes you are lucky enough to realize they are more than one of them and sometimes you wish there was just one of them so that you did not have to make a choice from an amount of choices. How can sometimes other people's actions and judgements change your set of choices, even wondered? I bet you all did, found answers as to how these choices are webbed and how they manage to be a linked string? Well, I say our choices are a subset of many sets, they sometimes change as fast as we catch on our next breath of air. I wonder how from one single set of choices, different people make different choices, how our each choice has a different outcome, a different judgment and different consequence. I do not feel anyone ever wishes to make bad choices, they are all either made in search of comfort or a better ending. But when did we start making choices first time in life. Don't remember right?  Well its the first moment we got control of something, we got to analyze something, then why do not we remember it at all? That is because we live in a world where every single thing is over rated. Huh, pretty much..

Choice of clothes-decide our character, choice of religion-decide if you are a majority or a minority, choice of food- hmm, that is the interesting one.

We are made to believe that we have a choice, and sometimes that we do not. But do we really? Or sometimes we are just trained to adopt the choices of the society.

Independence should not be just restricted to ideas, thoughts and imaginations. If this world was allowed to make some honest choices which were not hurting anybody but the fake veils of society, I believe a lot less would have been our losses.

Why protect the non-living (some old stigmas in our society), when we have real people to save from struggles.

I choose to choose to do the right thing. What are your choices going to be?

You do not have to act too smart just because someone will otherwise think you are dumb.

We were not sent here to get our tags of smart and dumb, poor and rich, pretty and ugly, winner and looser.

We were sent to live, but how many of us has changed that choice since a long time.

Life o Life - What would you have been with "Lights-Camera-Action"-An absolute delight.

I wish life was a movie..
All moments in 3D..

With apt background music..
With songs and scenes so classic..

Some would have lived an Oscar life,
Some would have described their's as a flop life..

Directed by God, produced by Satan..
Edited by humans and promoted by alien..

Could have been scary and treacherous...
 But at the same time adventurous..

Some fantasies would have turned into real..
Some horrors and fears may have seemed surreal..

For every moment would have been an enchanting one.
Everything would have been on record, everything that has been said and done..

For everything would have been about art..
And all things would have been off to a perfect start..

A play and a pause button..
And  bad memories would soon have been forgotten..

Every catchy sentence ever been spoken by you.
Would have become a dialogue and would  have associated with you..

Happy moments could have been relived again and again..
And lessons could have been learnt, only this time not in vain..

Always it would have been a happy ending..
With evil failing and good winning..

For God would have bought tickets..
Only to see us get nuts..

For all would have been famous and mighty heroes..
And lesser would have been the number of people feeling like zeroes..

But would it be really good, if life were a movie..
I leave this to you to decide if such life would have been eerie..


Sheetalism#PoeticPhase2

Mending faults leads to lesser jolts..
This fast moving life needs some halts..

Hold on to moments so dear, especially when you are in fear..
You came alone and so will you leave and that is a fact so clear..

All the mysteries, stack of miseries, traces of history..
When put together,will turn into a classic tapestry..

To come out of all "Ifs" and "Buts", deepest of ruts..
All you need is a perfect recipe of power,control and guts..

When in life tables have turned, remember it is your moment to shine..
Because changing situations in your favor is no crime, if life would be all sugar, then what will be the purpose of time..

Freedom to boredom, stardom or moments of conundrum..
Just be you, because the best is in you, do not search for love because love in it's best form is you..

Tears are not for naive but for the brave ones too because journey when tough, is tough for amateurs and winners too.

Sheetalism#Thepoeticphase1

Validating the Validations

All our life we get busy passing tests-school papers, college exams, security checks, ownership checks, we need approvals, we wait for validations. When I see around even our identities go through checks, age checks, background checks.. all sorts of checks. Sometimes we threaten our own existence, sometimes we have help from "too interested in our lives" strangers.

Where do we all come from, where do we have to go and where we actually go? Our identity was gifted to us by our parents, we work on it our entire life and yet we look for validations from people who can never know us better than we know. And its a chain, the one seeking validations from someone also plays the role of validators for others. Why be a part of this cycle at all?

We mean different things to different people, yet we fall for those who won't understand our worth. Why do we feel the need to "Lean On", why not strive for self sufficiency..when our own shadow is not always around, why do we expect someone to just be there always. Be someone's support if you can ever be but why keep forgetting that if you can be someone's support why not be your own lifeguard.

When the life sets sails (BIRTH) or when the journey comes to a halt (DEATH), we are not asked for permissions and it just happens. Neither the beginning is in our control and nor is the end, then why control everything around.
　
Don't let NEED decide someone's IMPORTANCE in your life. Don't let IMPORTANCE be your NEED.
　
There are no validation rules, then why play the game. Be your own critic and admirer. Trust me sometimes ONE is just enough.
　
Sheetalism#Season 7

Memories - They are our momentos, our real treasure. We pay them visits every once a while. Make sure they are worth it.

Moments of clarity, flashes of realizations, they are all too rare phenomenon, moments of disparity and dearth of aims all way too perennial. Making volatile decisions and we are on a spree. We love fine dining yet we are mad for the roadside Gol Gappas. We love the rains and the soulful songs...we can all be decked up in crop tops and can be elegant in those beautifully draped sarees. We always have an opinion. We always day dream. We will wander and make emotional choices but we own the strength to groom every person. We go off track yet magically manage to create new paths. Sometimes we take 10 steps forward and find ourselves 20 steps back but we are some superhuman wired classically. When at the age of 70, we will be sipping a nice cup of coffee(without sugar), we will be taking a stock of our lives and be madly in love with ourselves wondering how did we manage 70 with so much insanity around and so much of insanity inside us. We are doing nothing but creating memories, completing our journeys in the most beautiful manner possible. Be a part of someone's journey, add value to it, and create a memory for them because memories are what we cling on to. No matter how much we say live in the present, we all cling on to those little memories. We are not just made of fleshes and bones, we are made of memories.

Let’s perceive it all this way: For good things happening, we take it as it is just a beginning of happy days, for the bad things we see it as the end of bad days is close and for one’s we can’t decide, let’s take it to be a memory, a food for thought, a flashback story for our 70ies.

Never Quit it. Each one of us has the stardust to create memories and moments.

Nothing to lose. Get to work lovely creators.

Sheetalism#season6

OPINIONS - They are casual, surprising, contradicting, mind boggling, classics yet merely opinions.

Opinion matters, but whose opinion matters is an intriguing question, isn’t it? For some none of the opinions matter, for some society's opinions can take them for a toss and some feel family's opinion is all that matters, while some believe that their opinion alone matters.

We all happen to have opinion about almost everything, be it Kejriwal, Modi, Salman, strangely even a new born or deceased person.

OPINIONS- Opting to Pursue Insightful Nuisance Infinitely and Overburdening our Nervous System, that is my definition of opinion.

Recipe of opinions: A pinch of reality + clarity close to sanity+ Ad-ons (they are the best ones) = Wide spectrum of OPINIONS. A market that never closes, never gets out of stock and launches new products every millisecond.

Well there are bad opinions and good opinions but in the end they are just opinions, far away from reality or clarity sometimes even sanity. But then there are great opinions too. What I write is an opinion too, not every opinion suits everyone or every situation. Hence we have tailor made opinions in the market, we create a good opinion and yet there is always a bad side to that opinion. We have an opinion about our neighbors or the weather, or the people we work with, opinion about food, opinion about clothes (which we are wearing and more on what others are wearing)..But then how do we decide which opinion is correct and shall be given the honor of "opinion-one in a million"..Naah, that is undiscovered and undecided forever. And we all like to keep it that way because it makes our life exciting.

Where opinions are just meant to be opinions, we fight battles over them, when the time comes to fight battles instead of being a knight in the shining armour we are still making opinions.

Sooooo, in my opinion, let’s give opinions some rest and create things which are to stay...

Opinions are important but then importance is also only an opinion.

Sheetalism#Season5

 

If Life was history, it would not have been such a mystery..

Sometimes in life when you cross roads with fear and chaos and you decide to firmly carry on your journey in a similar fashion but only more fiercely, I can tell you that your dreams are not far away from reality. Imagine when a nice cup of coffee or Maggie or just chocolate or for that matter nice music can cheer us up, then why do we raise our bars for happiness at times.

Why when hurdles show up dancing mad in front of us, we try changing paths or look for dependency when we are the classic problem solvers of our problems. We humans are funny, we very well know how to create problems for us or others but when combat is needed we fall short of efforts. I have always sometime in life wished for a fairy godmother to grant my wishes but what I did not realize was that I was one myself because who is better than me to know my problems and what I need. We place trust on people whom we meet only for a while. We trust that the cook in restaurant will give us food just fine, or the auto guy will drive us home safe, or the banks are going to keep our money safe. Yet we forget to trust ourselves for our own problems and our own life.. Common. Sometimes a ME is just enough to create WE. Take control.....NOT OF OTHERS BUT YOUR OWN SELF, because control is one strong thing..

Sheetalism#season4
 

EVOLUTION - Does not always leave TRAILS

Stuck in the cobwebs, we have learnt to smile. We put up a strong face and  find strength in miniscule things. Some take U-turns and some take a detour and some just wander. We have developed our individual defense mechanisms. We look for "emotional retirement plans", we cling to memories and yet move on. We are crazy creatures We are HUMANS. We say no offence yet we offend, we say we are kidding yet we are not, we say I love you yet do not express...we are weird cuties because we still find ways, we learn and we amend...we have invented emotions of our own, somewhere between reaching for and climbing the mountains, we end up carrying them. We always have a priority list and some of us keep ourselves on the top of that. Loosen up...you do not always have to read between the lines, sometimes the beginnings are the end and sometimes moments create history.

Sheetalism#Season3

Take the fall, make the right call, curb creating emotional wall - Everyday is yours and no win is small.

We all spill food while eating, some do that often and for others its a rare case. We all yearn for love and some appreciations once a while. Yet we all have taken hold of our careers and shaped our lives and are ever progressing. We have missed our parents and friends,we have cried through the nights and have still woken up the next morning to face our fears and life. We all are strong in some unique way. Some have lived far from home for years, some have given up love, some have struggled a lot on career front. Yet none of us have stopped living. Why today then?
When we have bridged the gaps so huge, when we have fixed cracks so wide, we have fought battles in a fashionable barge...today, tomorrow and forever when you are living make sure you live. It is your journey, you need to navigate, look at the maps, stay handy and protect yourselves, create and capture memories. Take control. Make mistakes, love abundantly, pose stunningly, wear your crown but do not forget to carry your guns because though not every battle is gory but,what the hell, we should be prepared for the worst, because in the end there will always be an "Us" a "They" and an "I".

SHE- Who is a letter more than a HE and prefixes the HE.

For a road so long she needed to be strong. She was and can be demanding for she knew she could graft her own story. She might not get to see something perfect yet she perceived nothing short of perfect. She would know that stars are out of her reach today yet she also knew that will be low hanging fruits for her one day. She would never kill but rather die. She would not hurt but rather suffer. She would not pick flaws rather beautify. She could not be tamed but she learned silently. For she was strong and will always be because she was true and joyful. That she can be you!
