Your Life, Your Way

We watch a lot of thing everyday, but only a few of them manage to leave an impact and stay with us forever! The video adopts a funny method to tell us about the rules of the society and how it treats the people who try to bend them. The society is personified as a sadistic man who takes pleasure in bringing you down. The question here is - would you succumb to these rules or live life on your own terms. If you succumb, no doubt your life will be very easy, but will you still be happy? I doubt that! Resistance can make life hell but there's a greater chance you'll emerge victorious. Its time for you to take chance and bend the rules. I believe, there's no point living a life to make others happy. At the end of the day, you are the one who matters the most and if someone calls you selfish, I guess its okay to be selfish sometimes.

 We must remember that all the things we enjoy today, are fruits of the efforts of people who rebel against the society. I'm not promoting total rejection of society. All I'm saying is dont fear to live your dreams because others may not like it, dont fear to say what you think because others may not agree with you, dont fear to be yourself.

 A lot has been said about this in contemporary movies and videos like these. Despite this, there could be someone among us hesitating to be who they are. I'm doing my bit to bring the slightest change in their thought. I hope I could encourage you to bend the rules!

A Special Post On A Special Day

  Today (December 3) is International Day of Persons With Disabilities. Every year, I make it a point to post something in my blog to create awareness. But every year I encounter a question – what new things can I tell the world about my disability? A lack of clarity makes me fear that I may be giving you the same information year after year. We need wheelchair friendly infrastructure in cities, inclusive educational institutions are required and more job opportunities for the disabled are a must. We know this.   All this is about what can be done for me. For a change, I thought I must write about what I can do for myself. Even after the government, doctors, teachers, family, friends and God have done their part, complete benefit is possible only when I start taking care of myself. Saying Yes To Professional Help I used the term professional help because it means different things for people with different kind of disabilities. For some it could be speech therapy and for others it

Say no to infantilization of the differently abled

 "Why does she need to wear a saree?" "Why don't you have Parikshit check your leave balance before you apply?" "Why don't you have your mum oversee that transaction while you make it?" "Let me ask your mum if I should feed you two chapatis or one." I'm used to these kinds of questions and statements being thrown at me all the time. I knew something was off, but it was not until last year that I realized it is called infantilization. What's infantilization? For those who are reading this word for the first time, infantilization is a form of ableism where differently-abled adults are treated as children. We are treated as something less than who we are. In doing this, the able people often make decisions for their disabled counterparts believing that they are incapable of deciding what's best for them. On the occasion of the International Day for Persons with Disabilities, I thought it would be nice to discuss this phenomenon w

To Everyone I Know

Image
I never realized until now that I'm a little in love with everyone I know. A post I shared on Facebook sometime ago reminded me of this love. As I read the post, I realized that there's something we love about everyone we know. With too many things to do, we often forget it, but that doesn't mean that the love doesn't exist. The popular idea of love that we have created, prevents us from seeing and appreciating the various other ways in which it exits. It could be in the most insignificant things that people do or say casually. It could be in just a smile or holding the door open. I see love in so many things people do for me, but sharing food is my favorite way of sharing love. Chocolate says I love you, like nothing else :) Every person that I have ever met has taught me to love a little more. Sometimes, I take a little while to understand, but thankfully I do. So, I'd like to pause for a moment and acknowledge the unconditional love from everyone....
