दिप्ती.कथन (Dipti.Kathan)

Today we fight with each other on very minor issues. We tend to get angry easily. We get jealous of each other, compete with each other. We are forgetting nature and exploiting it. We are getting dependent of technology unnecessarily. We are getting trapped in momentary pleasure and leading towards hedonistic culture. No doubt, its a by-product of glottalization. But where are we heading? Do we ever think? Or do we even care to think about it? We throw the wrappers on street or outside the train windows. We let the water tap open unnecessarily. While doing this we don't care or not even think about people living in desert areas. Not even one single thought about them crosses across our mind. We still ask for dowry (Though in disguised forms). We still pray for male child. We still disrespect women and abuse them by every mean. We deny the rights of LGBTQI community. We have divided eminent figures, saints and even Gods and claiming our right and authority over them. We fight with ...

Have you ever thought or think that life is meaningless? Do you find most of the things or almost everything hopeless? Have you lost or are loosing interest in those activities which earlier you used to find to be pleasurable? Does everything irritate you or make you frustrated? Do you think that there is no way ahead? If yes then wake up. Its time to reflect and introspect. Sometimes we go through such experiences which make us think that nothing is going to be alright in this particular case. Our this attitude ultimately gets us nowhere in that particular case. And eventually we become unhappy. E.g. There is a student who wants to crack one competitive exam but has been unable to do that because he thinks that he cant crack that as its hard (As most of the people around him are saying this). Because of such a thinking pattern he doesn't give his 100% in preparation for the exam. Thinking that everything is hopeless and beyond own control, he leaves everything on his destiny. Bu...

Shraavyaa met Namit a few years back. Until she met him she had some different set of perceptions not only about men but also about many things in life. The moment Namit entered her life, her life was revolutionised... She used to think that every boy is the same... Boys are restless, reckless, flirt, irresponsible, obsessed with physical pleasure and the list would go on... But Namit proved everything wrong. Shraavyaa started finding him very mature, still naughty like a small kid; responsible and morally strong ,still little flexible and accommodative; someone who is appreciative but not flirt; emotional and sensitive, still logical and realistic... What a rare combination! Isn't it? She found  Namit to be flawless... She thought he is just perfect... Can anyone be so, I mean literally so ideal or complete? Definitely not... Perfection is a myth... Surely Namit also had some flaws. But Shraavyaa has accepted them and him also as her best friend or soulmate... She may or may n...

मी बहुतेक व्हाट्स ऍपवर वाचलं होत. - एखाद्या गोष्टीवर प्रेम असणं आणि ती निव्वळ आवडणं यात फरक तो काय ? उत्तर होत, जेव्हा तुम्ही झाडावरचं गुलाब तोडता आणि त्याचा वास घेता, तेव्हा तुम्हाला ते आवडलेलं असतं पण जेव्हा तुमचं त्याच्यावर प्रेम असत तेव्हा  गुलाबाच्या झाडाला दररोज पाणी घालता. किती सोप्या भाषेत सांगितलं आहे सांगणाऱ्याने. नाही का?  मला ही व्याख्या किंवा हे स्पष्टीकरण खरंच खूप भावलं. आपलं जेव्हा खरंच एखाद्यावर प्रेम असतं तेव्हा आपण त्या गोष्टीची किंवा त्या व्यालतीची विशेष काळजी घेतो. तिला जीवापाड जपतो. तिला कोणत्याही गोष्टीमुळे त्रास तर होणार नाही ना, वेदना तर होणार नाही ना यासाठी आपण सतत तत्पर असतो. त्या व्यक्तीसाठी किंवा त्या गोष्टीसाठी काहीही करायला तयार असतो, अगदी कोणताही त्याग. त्या व्यक्तीचा/ गोष्टीचा आपल्याला ध्यास जडलेला असतो. दिवसरात्र आपण फक्त तिचाच विचार करत असतो.  तिच्याबद्दल स्वप्नरंजन करत असतो. आपलं भविष्य तिच्याबरोबर रंगवत असतो.  पण असं प्रेम आपण कोणावर किंवा कशावर करतो किंवा करायला पाहिजे?  असं प्रेम आपण कोणावरही करू शकतो. ...

Aatmaja is very intelligent. She is good academically as well as practically. But she didn't have confidence. Because of low level of confidence, she had lost many opportunities. Once she was asked to anchor one program. But inspite of having good communication skills she rejected the opportunity. How sad! Isn't it. There are many people around us who are potentially very good, capable but because of lacking self confidence,they have messed up with opportunities or have rejected the opportunities. Why? Why don't we believe in us? If you try to go to the depth of this issue, you will find many reasons for this lack of Self confidence. One of the important and crucial factors is the reactions you have been receiving since childhood about your success or failure. There are people who have been told that you are useless, you are dull, you can't do anything, bla bla... Receiving such comments hampers the process of development of Self confidence in children. Now this part ...

"Do you like to play? Then play. Do you like to sing? Then please go ahead. Do you like to dance. Please do that. Whom are you waiting for? You enjoy cooking? Wow. Kindly do that whenever you can. Do you like to ..... Then please ....." You must be thinking what I am talking about. I am doing nothing but telling you to enjoy your hobbies. Hobby is an action which you like to do or you tend to do when you are free from your obligatory duties. We develop hobbies mostly in our childhood. We adopt hobbies through the means of observation of others or out of our own experiences. It's very much important to persue our hobbies. We should never leave them. Hobbies make you utilise your time. They improve your cognitive and emotional well-being. They let you express yourself in appropriate way. If you can paint or sketch well, this painting or sketching will allow you to express your thoughts, emotions through pictures. If you write, writing will make you express you through w...

There was a village where there was no sufficient rain since two consecutive years. People were experiencing shortage of water. Villagers planned to arrange a Pooja to worship Indra Dev, God of rains. Everyone got engaged in preparation. And the Pooja day arrived. Almost everyone from the village came to the Pooja place. After some time one boy came. And everyone started looking at him. Why? The boy had an umbrella open in his hand. One of the men standing beside him asked," Beta aapne chhata kyoo khol rakhaa hain?" The boy replied," Chacha hum log Indra Dev ki Pooja karne jaa rahe hain. Indra Dev ki Pooja karnese bareesh to aahi jayegee . To main bheeg jaaoongaa na. Isliye m aine chhata khol rakha hain." The man got surprised with a sense of hope. I had heard this story long time back from someone or I read it somewhere. I don't remember exactly. But I totally remember the meaning and the message of the story. It such a hopeful message! Isn't...
