The black swan

We all know the story.... A girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom, but only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a prince. But before he can declare his love, her lustful twin, the Black Swan, tricks and seduces him. 

Devastated the White Swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself and in death finds freedom......

                                                                                                                         - Black Swan 

At times, I get carried away by my deep thoughts far somewhere... somewhere which is a beautiful place, where there is noone, just me, my wings and my freedom, noone to stop me from doing anything, noone to stop me from following my dreams, noone to hold me back from running behind what I love, noone to tell me what is right and what is not, a place where there are no defined rules, a place of beautiful dreams, where all you do is what you love doing, where there are no boundaries, where there are no fears! You are free... In my land, you are free to fly as high as your wings can take you, noone would be there to stop you, to slash your wings, to put you in a cage! Noone!
 
And there in that mysteriously alluring world, I flap my wings, look at the beautiful sky that calls me with open arms, I flutter my wings again, I push myself up, I flap my wings harder, I push myself again and there I go... High in the sky... sky that is smiling at me, towards the clouds that are murmuring a beautiful song... I fly... Full of ecstasy... Full of life... Noone is there to stop me... Noone! I laugh, I dance, I sing, I fly...I fly... high... higher... highest... in the sky of ecstasy... my perfect enigmatic world!

And then, something jerks me off, pulls me down to earth and drags me to reality, from my perfect world to this not-so-perfect one! Was I conjuring again?

Have you ever wondered if given a chance to ask and own one thing in this world, what would that be for you? Some would say money, some would take their lover's name, some would choose to be the best, someone would go for some materialistic thing. You know, what would be my answer: Freedom... Inevitably! Undoubtedly! I am even ready to beg and implore for it! That much love I have for this one word called freedom... I think thats the most valuable thing a person can possess. Freedom to live your life as you want! Freedom from the worldly boundations. Freedom to own your life. Freedom to call it yours. Freedom to do what you like doing. Freedom to be free. Freedom to fly.

Freedom to be you, without anyone's permission

Even after-life looks beautiful if one gets their freedom there.

We all know the story.... A girl, pure and sweet, trapped in this world. She desires freedom, but only fulfilling her desires, living her life her own way can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a dream. But before it can declare it's love, the cruel world, the Black Swan, tricks and seduces it, snatches it away.

Devastated the White Swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself and in death finds freedom......

Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not a Tuxedo!

I was reading an interview of Priyanka Chopra in one of the magazines the other day and there was one thing which she said and which captivated my mind immediately and frankly, I do not remember anything from that interview apart from that one thing! To some ques, she replied “Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not like a tuxedo!!!” Wowww… what a saying and how true… If you can carry your success in a subtle and a causal way, nothing like it… But that’s an art! Believe me! Carrying your success in a positive and a natural way is really not easy! I mean its like being flamboyant but in a natural way! But the problem here is presenting this flamboyancy into a natural way sans attitude which most of the people, unfortunately are incapable of doing! Ahhhh…. And great are the people who sometimes cross limits of showing off! They just love to show off and cant live without it: They show off their wealth, their status, their success and some people are even much horrib...

The transformation of an arranged marriage to a love one!

“If I get married, I want to be very married.”  ― Audrey Hepburn Arranged marriages: Lets look at what wikipedia says about it: Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was common worldwide until the 18th century. Wait a second, does that say '18th century'. Yes, it indeed does. The world has moved on, and we, Indians are stuck, stuck in between a combat. A fight of deciding where to go, which side to choose and whom to follow: our old traditional culture or the west.  Anyways, arranged marriages still accounts for an overwhelming majority of marriages that happens on our land. Though we do celebrate love, but only in movies and we are doing that since last 4 decades, but when it comes to applying it literally, it suddenly becomes a stigma! Love marriages are still considered a taboo in major parts of our society. Anyways, I am definitely not here to mak...

Dear Myntra and Flipkart, thanks for snatching away my freedom!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”  ―  Charlotte Bront├л ,  Jane Eyre I am an avid Shopaholic, a compulsive one! At times, I feel this is some kind of a disorder I am going through. The moment my salary is credited into my account, I start shopping! And within the first week, I am broke, I am left with no bones! And the rest of the month goes in waiting for the next salary! Its like my wallet has a hole. I guess it has... Anyways, boom of the online shopping sites have actually galvanised this disorder, much to my disdain. The moment I get little time in office, at home or for that matter anywhere on this planet, I just open my laptop and start browsing, drooling over the thousands and thousands of pretty shoes, dresses, accessories, just craving to see them in my wardrobe! I just always open these sites with an idea, rather a very clear one of 'window shopping' but then, in the middle I don't know wh...
