Ode to Instagram

 Instagram,You are Menaka.

Photoshopped,Autocorrected.
You are beautiful
You are Perfect.
Your world is perfect and happy.
You lure me.
You fascinate me.
You attract me with your beauty products...
Your designer clothes entice me.
Your music videos hook me....
Your reels keep me dancing .....and twisting....
Your cooking breaks my diet...
Instagram You are Menaka
I am Vishwamitra.
How much I concentrate and control myself.....
I get mesmerized by you
I leave my studies...
I keep my chores and responsibilities waiting for completion....
I burn my food and spill the sambhar....
My kid crying....my parents moaning.....
Instagram, You are Menaka.
I am Vishwamitra.
My cupboard is full....
My plate laden...
My bank balance empty
My credit overdue
But I get smitten by your Influencers  ....
Who surround me with discounts and sales.....
Who take me every site....every corner....
From cloud to cloud....
City to state ...
Country to countryside.....
Instagram, You are Menaka 
I am Vishwamitra.
I maybe broke and broken by heart ,mind and pocket ....
But you carry me to a fantastic Fantasy.
I have spent everything ,lost all- Myself, family,friends.....
But Instagram has never made me be alone nor feel lonely......
Instagram, You are Menaka...
I am forever your Vishwamitra.

DEDICATED TO ALL IN REELS AND SHORTS.

I QUIT!!!!

  I Quit!!!! Yesterday, my kids favorite teacher,a very motivating person who helped so many students perform better .....a disturbed student, a student finding it difficult to cope,an average or below average student  ....so many of them,he not only taught them to fare well but boosted confidence into them to do well with their life......such a person QUIT......He ended his life by hanging himself in his house....leaving a bereaved aged mother,a dependent wife and 2 very small children behind. Few days back,a Radiologist committed suicide while another Post Graduate student succumbed to Depression. Life is a challenge. Life is unpredictable. To all. Just as a Sinus Curve....there are Ups and Downs in life. Students have pressure of exams. Youth have professional career pressures. Adults have umpteen challenges. Finance,Relationship, Career,Illnesses....Peer and Society pressures.....Loans and EMI  .....Bull And Bear Stock Market add to the pressure.If added Addic...

How much......is too much?????

  How much ....is Too much????? I happened to visit my Paediatrician friend. An IAS officer brought her 2 month baby for check up.The baby was crying while passing urine.Urine tests and culture showed no infection. The concerned Mother showed a methodically maintained book on number of times the 2 month was breastfed,pooped, burped,passed motion,flatulence..body temperature..etc etc....We were surprised by minute details noted every moment of the newborn by the apprehensive but diligent new Mom. Now we come to the part .....How much....is too much???? To maintain asepsis....the overtly careful mom.....had wiped the private parts of the baby ...each time it passed urine or motion.....with concentrated hospital Savalon antiseptic solution...... This resulted in inflammation of the baby's soft mucosa over private parts.....making every passing of urine agonizing and burning....... Today,we have Apps and gadgets....Technology and information.....which help us monitor and modify ou...

Agnee- Path

  Agnee-path Agnee = Fire Path- in English means Way....Road. Feiry Way....... Do you remember of village melas...festival fairs..... A man would blow fire.... Walk over hot charcoal fire...... As a kid all this would be exciting to see...... I would wonder.... Can I too try these stunts???? Childhood is full of innocence and simple life Small things give immense joy. As we grow.....Expectations increase. When reality doesn't meet the demands of ever expecting mind....... We start blowing out fire.... Path we tread....feels like Hot Charcoal...... Ambition is good for growth. But an impatient mind.......wants that growth to be fast...... Expectations race ahead..... Reality lags behind...... Peer Pressure adds fuel to the developing frustration...... Social Media makes us Cynical...... Is Social Network bad???? No.Technology and Digitalisation has made life easy. Social Media has made communication easy. Globe has shrunk.Anything ,Everything....Anyone....Ever...
