MEH!

 

Read at your own risk!  



Zombie taking over…

  •        Why is Haryana pronounced Har-ya-na in every language but Kerala pronounced Ke- ral in Hindi? Why is the ‘a’ eaten? Makes no sense and bugs me to no end.

  •         Why is that men graduate from Master to Mister at 18 and that has nothing to do with their marital status but for ladies Miss is unmarried and Mrs. is married and this vague Ms. is not understood by anyone? 

  •         Why do people you love and who supposedly love you back, go out of their way to cheer you up and get you to smile only to wipe it off your face moments later? It makes no sense and drives me nuts!

  •         Why do we ask questions and not pay attention to answers if it isn’t what we wanted to hear? Isn’t it better to ask our own self the question and be satisfied with what we want to hear? External validation sucks!

  •         Why is it that when people meet often, they have nothing better to do than bash someone up (not literally)- either someone who is not around, or the Government or anything, apart from those that are present? Hypocrisy or insecurity or just habit? Why meet so often then?

  •         Why is it that when you call a friend or relative, who hasn’t thought of you or called you, they launch an offensive on how you never call them? They are almost successful every time in getting you to sweat and mete out explanations in your defense until you hang up and kick yourself for calling and then again, for getting on the backfoot for no reason at all.

  •         Why is it that you are brave and dismissal of consequences about things you know you shouldn’t be doing like eating an ice-cream when you are trying to lose weight, only to regret it a moment after you’ve enjoyed the last bit? (I just ate one!) Occasional indulgences are good but how often is “occasional”?

  •         Why is it that parents have to motivate their kids to study and tell them to aim for the stars, when they despised it themselves and didn’t aim that high either? I hardly remember anything from school save for the languages and basic math. Why don’t we teach them to go with the flow for that’s what they’ll learn at 45?

  •         Why do we love people for their uniqueness and then want them to become like us?

  •        Why do we need to control everything and believe we are God’s answer to all problems, when our lives are clearly not balanced?

  •         Why are we acting like morons and bringing about the lockdown only to crib about the situation?

  •         Why do people portray themselves as victims or martyrs when they want their way? Isn’t that a form of emotional blackmail? That is weakness, so why not empower ourselves instead?

  •         Why bother writing a blog when zombie takes over?

    Hahahaha... LOVE IT (mind you - All caps)!!! The very same reason why people talk about your ‘attitude’ but don’t look at the circumstances or what made them change their ‘attitude’ in the first place! We are hypocritical... judgemental... incorrigible... despicable.... We are humans!
    P.S. I did it again!!!! First comment ☑️ Muchness happening 🤩

      Thank you so much my dear Anvita! You have been egging me on forever! Actually, I was in a "meh" mood! I was even wondering whether I should post it and then I just did on my little cheerleader's insistence! I am glad you are grinning! :D

25 Insights into the Aquarian Woman

Credit:pinterest.com Being hooked on to zodiac signs from as far as I can remember, I have read and continue to read a lot of material on the same. I would be lying if I said I read about all sun signs with the same amount of interest and to the same detail as I do a select few (for obvious reasons)!! In fact, very often in posts I make references to someone or the other being of a certain zodiac sign as though that was self explanatory as to why the person acted in the said manner! My husband keeps laughing it off as nonsense! He believes that every zodiac is attributed with the same characteristics and that the astrologer uses different words to make them look different. I beg to differ. Simple test being, check your friend list and categorize them as per their zodiac signs and then you’d most definitely see the pattern. Exceptions do exist but then they are just that! Thanks to Google I check various astrology sites. Some are useless sites which have done the cut, c

#MeToo; How Does that Eradicate the Problem?

Image
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, women on social media are busy posting #MeToo on their status, to show the world how widespread the problem is. Do we really need a survey of this kind? Have we been blind and numb so far that we need a survey to show that women the world over, have faced sexual harassment in some form or the other? I’ll bet that not a single woman has reached 20 without having faced the same- and not once! This survey won’t give you the #MeToo’s of uneducated, below poverty line women or even women who are educated but not tech savvy or women like me, who think this is a waste of time, for isn’t it obvious?  Credits: feminismindia.com                                                 Our social media is full of emotional ranting and ravings of people who let out their frustration on how everything that is happening around is decadent in nature- I understand the frustration but how about coming up with a solution and not just coming up with one, but

Is Education Limiting Imagination?

Credit: Youtube Recently, a friend shared a post on one of my many whatsapp groups which I happily ignored as I glanced at its length till another friend, whose opinion matters commented on the post. Her comment got me reading the longish text which turned out to be a story- “The Little Boy” by Helen Buckley. A mandatory read for all parents and educators across the globe. Credit:Pinterest.com A little boy goes to school and his teacher announces that the class was going to draw. The boy cannot contain his excitement and begins to draw from a plethora of images that run through his mind when he is stopped by the teacher who says they were going to draw a flower. His enthusiasm doesn’t get dampened, instead, he pulls out his pink, orange and blue crayons and begins his work when the teacher stops him and turns to draw a red flower with a green stem. She now asks the class to draw. The little boy liked his flower more but he keeps that to himself and begins to draw wha
