Backing out from Indian Culture, tradition and custom...!

"The spinning wheel means national consciousness and a contribution by every individual to a define constructive national work"✓✓Mahatma Gandhi..

.I always wanted to keep my views regarding this specific topic ever since I read Macaulay's "Minutes", The governor general of India served between 1834-1838.Many of you might be unaware of the fact he delivered in his literary work which is the reason why in present we Indians want to materialize ourselves by solely drilling western ideas into our mind and attire,that is exactly what he fancied continuously since a specified time.

 It's cumbersome to take in isn't it but that's certitude people!!.

I would like to quote his words here from "Minutes" which will clarify what I actually want to illustrate::In one point I fully agree with the gentleman to whose general views I am opposed.I feel with them that it is impossible for us,with our limited means,to attempt to educate the body of the people.We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions who we govern,--a class of persons Indian in blood and colour,but English in tastes,in opinions,in morals and in intellect.To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country,to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature,and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of population''...These were his marked words...!!

...yeah even I was angry for a while to witness whatsoever he delivered is what we are beholding presently...We are Indians but still u know when it comes to show class or luxury or awe-inspiring way of life we simply embrace western products be it Louis Vuitton,Prada,Gucci, Victoria's Secret,Chanel....etc so many more..Why is that? Because they are exorbitant yet exotic isn't it? 

  I wonder now in the pandemic situation as our economy is crashing and we are agravating deteriorately we are reimbursing by using the hashtag #Bevocalforlocal hence it's nothing simply alternative title of Swadeshi Movement started way too back by Mahatma Gandhi for ,striding and enlarging our Country in terms of Business growth and metamorphosis..!! I wonder how long it will last I guess until the lockdown lifts!

...People need to understand that we must glorify our own products our own culture our own National flag the roots why we are dignified universally we were always on top and by God's grace no one can clash or contend us in the field..it's an urge from my country to coalesce to fight back the pandemic with staunch grip by not being nincompoop but by amplifying together be it business or educational institutions.And this can't be possible without stalwart clench of hands ..!!!

 

God has blessed me with a powerpack gift ever since you came to my life......yeah no other than my chota brother ...

..

      When the world is against you 

            My brother will be there for me 

When ever I feel low

     My brother will be there to cheer for me

Whenever I need you 

        My brother will be there at once

Whenever I am in danger 

My brother will be there to pull me up

Whenever I am stuck in my life 

 My brother was always there to impel me

When I tie rakhi on his wrist 

My brother vows to protect me far and wide

So when you have a brother like him 

 I feel the proudest sister ever God has blessed me with ...

... There is one thing I would like to share with you brother.and I just realised how incomplete I am without you and it's not a joke but on a serious note that's something which even astonished me as well.No single day in my life went without studying books or reading or engulfing new ideas all it was only because you were there with me the day you shifted and went out for further studies that very day was heart-rending not for me but also for mom and dad.We both used to fight terribly pull each other's hair bully each other but one thing was always there to bridge the gap we never used to sleep without conversing on various topics be it study, technology, life, future career,agony,webseries...etc....we concluded with a solution or with hillarious twisting questions why because we were each other's back.It was difficult for us to love here all alone witoutyou and yeah it might sound cliché to you but that's true bhai....

....Ur absence was more like a empty house i never used to focus on my studies or mom and dad could focus on their work.Life is not happening when you are not around but as a younger brother you progressed a lot in maturity in sensibility in mental growth this what make me even more proud to say and as an elder sister I had learnt so many things from you..

 How to enjoy life 

How to avoid negativity

How to be urself 

How to learn new things 

How to be practical

How to handle situations 

How to live a stress free life

How to speak English (yes) 

How to be smart....I learnt each and every thing from you.Thank you bhai love you 

Life is uncertain and unpredictable so make the most out of it

Don't be judgemental.Everyone has their own way of living .This is life,we all are different from each other  be it personality,perception or making rational decisions.One has to face so many stumbling blocks in his/her life to overcome miseries and agony.We are living in a world where we are judged by our physical appearance rather than mindset that we build up.You don't always have to clarify or prove others coz in doing that you will end up frustrating or detaching yourself.Attitude and confidence is the only thing you need to carry nowadays, not to demotivate or degrade others but rather by building a staunch network with people who  anticipates you,help them to grow.If you are capable of something then take it to a next level by empathizing them.We live in a harsh practical world where people are converting  more judgemental and quibbling,try not to explain things to others,appreciate them as well by simply helping them in their need coz we just forget that humanity do exist.
Since i read a book talking abt all these life changing phases that you will come across and how to deal with it in the most authentic manner thought of sharing with u guyss...coz i truely believe in growing and  sharing  wisdom with others....don't get stuck.Just because you know everything it doesn't mean you are on top of the  world and everyone else is your subordinate...be grounded,egoistic may lead to an unexpected consequences u never know..so better be humble and helpful in this progressing generation.

A small poetry by me 

......All of life is peaks and valleys.Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low~~~John Wooden

Happiness in true sense🌹

What is happiness in true sense??
 Now this must sound "centuries old" topic to many of you...Many of you must have already had this precenceived notion abt happiness..it is something associated with materialistic stuffs for instance,money,food,clothes for youngsters..and like .a child's happiness relies in playing with toys and girls cavorting around n decorating barbies.it n its endless until n unless growing phase..It is the only thing we people care abt the most..!! Bt i guess that's ephemeral..its more than that.only if you  assay it to the core.!!

That's me smiling forgetting all my worrsies behind

           I ponder over those ancient periods when our grandparent's happiness simply used to rely on plucking mangoes during summer n enjoying the most of it...that meant the world to them listening and gawking to various folktales,gothic n ghost stories used to startle n amuse them,small things we merely care about presently meant diamond to them.Debating and discoursing abt absurd,ludicrius topics were more pleasing than present's so called society's useless topic i guess...Staying and spending hours with teachers in hostels were more like heaven like my father studied away from home ..n the witty adventurous life he spent still sparkled in his eyes everytime he would   impart with us..Oh God that Face 🤩..so much that like he is in a  reverie n still wanna go back again from this fake world...same goes with my mother..same goes with me as well...!!Yesterday while scrolling down the youtube videos.."Tiny Tv" (90s kids entertaining channel)popped up n i literally can't resist myself from watching it ..It was almost 2 am i watched every episodes of Noddy,Oswald Bob the builder ❤etc closed unwillingly with tears on my eyes n a sense of pleasure i had that meant happiness to me...❤
  Happiness can be anything to all of us but those who always relies on stuffs which is depleting in each coming days must shift to a beautiful mindset of engrossing into this "World" making it more beautiful and tantalizing ..with love,pure,honesty,humanity,respecting,concering abt mere things..etc etc..is happiness in true sense to me..🌸
    I can literally spent my entire day  listening to those episodes n adventures my parents n grandparents had during their lifespan..which is almost next to impossible currently..Kids growing today has almost forgot happiness in true sense and captivated themselves in a web of technology and four walls....ahhh lets make it bigger n a better place to stay..❤🌴🍁🌱💐🌹

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of other person is essential to your own"

"Its so hard to forget pain,but its even harder to remember sweetness.We have no scar to show for happiness.We learn so little from peace"

"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life"

...this all whateva i mentioned might sound philosophical and useless to many of you guyss but this is what i find worth in this life to stay...afterall we all gonna mix up with soil ❤🙂😊🍃🍃🍃

Durga Puja

Durga puja or Pujo or Navratri,they all are similar in appearence but extolled incongruously in various segment of India,for instance,Durga Puja considered to be one of the most humoungous and mammoth fiesta in Eastern part of India followed for about five days.Presently,Durga Puja or Utsav is commemorated not only nationally but our diverse culture had outspread abroad as well and yes we are proud "Indians" ✌️now♥️.!Born and brought up in Bengal i am  bestowed to have witness the heavenly and gorgeous Maa Durga 😍once in a year.But i won't be discussing about her grandeur appearence but rather an important issue to highlight.and that would be Why we are engrossed more in fulfulling our delectation and less in religious liturgy??🙁

      Navratri is specifically celebrated in North and Western part of India namely,Gujrat,Delhi...so on and so forth.. continuing for about nine days wherein all the nine festivals are dedicated to each distinct avatar of Goddess namely☘️Shailputri☘️Brahmacharini☘️Chandraghanta☘️Kushmunda☘️Skandamata☘️Katyani☘️Kalratri☘️MahaGauri☘️ Siddhidaatri.🌹🌹🌹
  " Garba",a dance form in Gujarat is famously accomplished,everyone in their traditional attire play with Dandiya to give a enriching and colorful touch to Navartri Puja ending up with drolling sweets and prasads..😋😋
                 In kolkata,the panaroma is a bit different though,the last five days are the ones that involves the most popular practices,namely Shashti🌺Saptami🌺Ashtami🌺Navami🌺Dashami🌺.All you can behold is a huge crowd and assembling together with either familes or friends,wearing colorful outfits adding beauty to this enchanting festival and one way or other people tend to fancy this particular days giving them a break out of their mundane life and it turns out be like an "Utopia"♥️
       Are we really fantacizing our religion or is it just because it has been a huge festival we all are in a queue indulging ourselves in unusual pleasures.. that's what i witnessed and hardly any religious devotees or people performing puja's is visible to me all throughout?? Even if our culture and custom is practised purely consistently but now it doesn't make sense to me at all.Everybody has indulged themselves in their own life hardly fostering about Maa Durga, that's what i observed!!Here comes another issue to be focussed Maa Durga is labelled as Prakriti or Nature or Happiness or Greenery☘️🌹🌱🌻🌹but are we really virtuous to her?.. absolutely not.Woeshipping for about five days and using all mariolatries like flowers,sweets, confections etcand throwing it instantly to her idols as a tribute to what we call "Pushpanjali"and ultimately chocking the entire nature with dirt and filthy water, immersing her idols as an devotee but maltreating  her indirectly is what we all do during "Bhasaan"(immersing)..n that's it we are done with our so called "Religious Rituals or practises".do u have any say on that?
     Somewhere down the line we all know these is immoral but we can't go up against,well i already know and could predict the future.These might sound sarcastic to many of you guyss but even u know that its true,people won't accept it so easily.I recommend all of you to read this poem by William Wordsworth"Three years she grew in sun and shower"..a masterpiece wherein he incorporated nature as a nurse nurturing her born child like a mother..A line to remember...":A LOVELIER FLOWER ON EARTH WAS NEVER SOWN;THIS CHILD I TO MYSELF WILL TAKE;SHE SHALL BE MINE,AND I WILL MAKE A LADY OF HER OWN:"🌹🍃☘️🍀🌻🌷. that's how romnatic poets used to envisage nature as a panjandrum.♥️
  Worshipping and Devoting are contrasting in nature.For instance,if we worship to God that would include only embracing God with alluring ornaments,sweets, lightning and bejwelling God but on the contrary,devoting would be  oxymoron,it relies on our own inner improvement, selflessly enshrining people with wisdom,spread light and crucially enlighten people what is humanity and how to love and respect to your younger and elders,one shouldn't chase after a cruel queue of dishonest,brutal and obdurate but rather stand on a queue of benevolent,prudence and allegiance.. that's how i see a difference 🙂✌️
    Maa Durga is a pure form of nature and so do her powerful Mantras which holds a depth meaning inside,Divine shakti energy of Lord Shiva, the mantras are enchanted throughout the year and specially during the Navratri 🙏
     Some of them are mentioned below have a look and try to meditate 🧘 when you are in dilemma..
 "SARVA MANGALA MANGALAYE SIVE SARVARTHA SADHIKE SARANYE TRAYAMBIKE GAURI NARAYANI NAMOSTUTE"
 translation--She is the most auspicious one and the one who bestows auspiciousness all over the world.She is pure and holy.She protects those who surrender to her and also called the Mother of three worlds and is Gauri, daughter of mountain King.We bow down to Mother Durga again and again.We worship her 🙏🙏🙏

"YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU SHANTI RUPENA SANGSTHITA
YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU SHAKTI RUPENA SANGSTHITA
YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU,MATRI RUPENA SANGSTHITA
YA DEVI SARVA BHUTESHU,BUDDHI RUPENA SANGSTHITA
NAMASTASYA,NAMASTASYA, NAMASTASYA NAMO NAMAHA"
 
translation--The goddess who is omnipresent as the personification of universal mother.The goddess who is omnipresent as the embodiment of power.The goddess who is omnipresent as the symbol of peace.
Oh Goddess (Devi) who resides everywhere in all living beings as intelligence and beauty.I bow to her,I bow to her again and again 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🧘
            Here i am standing right infront of Maa Durga ❤️ orisoning her to embrace all of us with health purity in mind and heart, value and care relationships, love and help the needy ones, appreciate the ones who lost their hope and revivify the ones who is effortlessly endeavouring to reach his or her avidity...Jay Maa Durga♥️🌹🍃🍃🌺🌷🌻🍀

Be aware

"Fake people are only nice when it's convenient for them or they usually have a hidden agenda.Genuinely nice people go out of their way to help others and they have an honest heart.Stick with the ones who never let you down and keep their promises.
You can't fake that"

        It ain't an child's play to be "real" in the  Age of "Fake" era,where uttermost peeps are involved in nothing more than measuring the money-oriented gubbins despite the fact that its going to survive only for bat of an eye.Even at times i myself stuck in these web unable to turn up gawking layers of veil they are putting on isn't it??How can a person be so fake only to be loved or either to beam prior of the world,well it will become even more baffling if we try to flatten it, it's better to look within yourself.I know this is a growing era we all are battling or clashing in terms of beauty, flawlessness,immaculateless..so on and so forth..No one is lagging behind ,no one is desiring ,no one is either listening to their hearts, everyone is just being agglutinated by the "fake people" around ending up with a fake smile on face and crying out loud in a closed room where no body would ever wipe the tears but preferably be blithe but knowingly we commit such errors only to get such fake delectation."Real people will have less circle area of friends but they will be like the "Shadows" on the contrary Fake will have a humongous friends and besties but they will be like a poisonous serpent with you,harming you every inch of your body but still faking themselves.Life is itsy bitsy and while living here it really becomes crucial for all of us to elect the deserved one.Yes we need to be at tips when it comes to showcase our excellence or dexterity but with integrity because the measure of people atract you will be the "real"one never living your side.In a world of fake its a sign of relief when you confront yourself looking at a mirror with the "real" face.Try to maintain the barrier of ethics you learnt,its going to shine out like a spectrum scattering out like colors of your integrity,nobility,veracity,fidelity..etc
    Few quotes by people who i admired the most throughout my life and set an example that why its crucial to be "real" even if you are lonesome ...
∆ "Real people are rare people"•••Mansi Jain

∆"Please do yourself a favour.Don't lower your standards to fit in.Don't shrink who you are to make other people comfortable.Do find and surround yourself with people who like you just the way you are and encourage you to keep growing"•••Kristen Butler

∆"Cut off fake people for real reasons,not real people for fake reasons"

∆"Real people are like balck roses "hard to find" but they exist" •••Meghna Jain

∆"I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations",•••Robert Cormier

Handmade card

Have you ever pondered over how how it would be if you initiated doing something and you have absolutely no clue how to do but you have self esteem.Taking that along with you,something which was unacceptable and astonishing you did end up with countless prompts and praises.How would you react to it??

......Not to mention,exactly the same thing happened with me when I astonished myself by simply creating this card for my best friend.However,they too were shocked after seeing my creativity and for atleast an hour or so they kept on pampering me,like how you make it? What you stuffs you used?? This is extraordinarily attractive and charming🤎,they praised my efforts with love and affection.I giggled and replied to them,"simply focussed and because it was for my besties so I had to be exceptional"They laughed at me by retoring,"you are lying dear you have such an amazing talent of art and craft you should make more often .. it's nothing more than your innovative mind.I was like,really really dear??they said"yes ofcourse"

.......I continued and mentioned I was just a beginner in DIY and Craft segment..like designing,cutting was something I stayed mile away.One day while sitting idle I was surfing internet and scrolling YouTube videos ,a card designing tutorial fortuitously pooped up on my display I thought of watching it casually...Towards the end of video,I asked myself it's not critical as you think, let's give a try....so for the very first time ever I sat with all the obligatory ingredients,for instance,colorful art paper,pair of scissors,designing papers,foam sheets, glue etc etc....gradually I made a card by following those steps and I analysed my card was opposite to what I expected.. It was more beautiful and attractive than the video itself,simply because I added my own ideas and techniques to it....to make it more relishing and florid.

   So finally after a long and endurance pianstaking I revealed it to my parents they were equally astonished like my friend.They responded"Oh my God you made this??It's unbelievable girl??..

    ..Potential and Determination and wide mind that's what you require to make anything out of your conscious mind.Now I understood the process, this is something I amde out of that two qualities I mentioned above which resulted a frutiful climax and you yourself is shocked.It feels more satisfied when your near ones compliment you for something which was unimaginable but still it seemed as if I mastered on it..!!!!
