Playbook of a Wandering Mind

Be Patient! Patience is one of the rarest virtues to be found in human species these days. I just ask people as to what is wrong in being patient? Well the only answer I get is it takes too long, the wait is till eternity, who will wait that long etc. etc. So where did our patience go? We still have to wait, but why can’t we do it patiently anymore? What brings me here to write about this virtue today is a fact that I got to know very recently- which is that 94% of the entire Universe is made up of dark matter and scientists say that this dark matter, such as black holes and other such things, they don’t know what it is and why is it there but what is a fact is that the Universe, the world- us would not be able to survive and thrive if not for this 94% dark matter. What we need to realise that there are many things in our life which seem like this dark matter and those things can be unsettling, scary and emotionally traumatic, at least I speak for myself when that i...

“The pessimist complains about the wind, The optimist expects it to change But the Realist, adjusts the sails" -William Arthur W ard In life, all of us people are faced with situations where we are pinned to the wall with little or no freedom of movement, at such times we lose hope and start giving up.

But in the end the only thing that really matters is that we get to choose what we got to do about it. And so if one decides to fight against the current, be angry about the situation, to argue, to complain, that person will never go anywhere except where the current takes...

It’s been a long time since my last post here. I agree that I have been very busy, but I usually only share when it’s something that is close to my soul. This time it’s something that I have been working on for a long time, a thought I had and I was just postponing it since quite sometime- reason being my reluctance to take on a thing so huge that it scared me and I didn’t even find a name worthy enough to suit this cause. But the name and approval have come after a long wait and fight for it. And now as the name suggests, Meher means Benevolence in English. Bit of a background here, I began the process about a month and a half back and the name itself holds humongous importance for me. The cause was worthy enough of the name. The cause that has been taken up is supporting an orphanage which houses females with a troubled/abused past. The stories I have heard of little kids being abused has always appalled me at many levels. I mean how can one even think of abusing even ...
