Nature's Retribution

"ಶ್ರಾವಣ ಬಂತು ಘಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ ಬಾನ ಮಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ...ಏರ್ಯಾವ ಮುಗಿಲು ರವಿ ಕಾಣೆ ಹಾಡೆ ಹಗಲು" - ದ.ರಾ. ಬೇಂದ್ರೆ




Shravana is the mark of begin of Varsha Ruthu in the great hindu calendar. It is believed that nature takes form of enormous power during this season and there is a very thin line between being glorified and horrified. It is not new and doesn't require special notification, to describe the events unfolding across globally. 

Be it floods in this season or heatwaves later on, a trend has now begun to watch the clips and images, feel in sympathy, and give great amount of money, food and water, and other basic requirements to the extent of our best capacity to the ones in need. But what's the afterwards here? 

Do we indeed realize the impact of these calamities? They carry an imprint so invisible yet so punitive.

Dear fellow humans,

We are long overdue in doing what's really required to do from our end. Please understand the importance to preserve and protect ecology from the likes of our conveniences. Plastic is causing grave danger to us, improper treatment of sewage and garbage is poisoning us back, land is aging due to over exploitation and mass concrete constructions, and what not is happening to add to the list. Cutting down trees, encroaching lakes and forests, endangering animal species, extinction of agriculture, excessive use of synthetics in the name of technology, are few of the several ways through which we are parading this planet. If we don't take deliberate actions to stop all this, I am afraid, we won't have any answers in the future, or worse we won't have a future at all. 
  
It's not a joke, or a time-killing articulation! There will be no economy when there is no ecology. We are costing too much than we can afford to withstand.

Don't doubt, you are born with a true purpose..

There's uniqueness inherent in being a woman. If you would ever doubt it as a limitation, you will have your life half wasted right there in that thought. The world we live, we all dream of making it a better place than as it is. In the process, disguised misogyny in the society, is an inevitable experience to all of us. Nonetheless, don't broaden your tolerance too much about compulsive society. Just like how slacking the outhaul allows to sail smooth, it is required for us to cut off the false compulsions which are forced upon us be it child marriage to gender violence. There is no wrong in being a loving mother, sister, wife, or life partner. But don't let that naive emotion overpower your capacity to be a bold woman in the first step. Little amount of skepticism is needed for the right balance, isn't? If and when you feel something is amiss in your surrounding, dig deeper with courage even if that makes you struggle. Don't delay to question it, don't hesitate to express your differences of opinion, and most importantly don't subside your own intuition about it. Let the world talk on all the duties and conquests a woman should achieve to ratify being a woman, it's what the world is best at, to talk and talk. It's you who have to be aware of the purpose your born for. No matter the odds, every woman has the force required to fill the space with her own aura. Women, from all walks of life, from girls to ladies, give yourselves the freedom to conquer that space. Cherish your charisma, hold on to your passion, and chase every last opportunity that is left to show your way out to create your own enigma. Respect the surrounding, but don't have to be submissive to their dominance.

You would like a short hair? Want to make feel your fingers and feet happy? Like to own a car? Want to be an entrepreneur? Would you like to lead and serve people? Fly a flight across globe? Sail across the ocean? Aspire and achieve them all! Because there is only one world we have in this universe, and we too are it's rightful inheritors.

Cheers, ladies!

Ruled by Misfortunes

Falcons, they say, would follow the Falconer.. I am afraid we are not that true followers at all. It is so absurd, our claim of belief upon the God who loves peace. All of us, irrespective of what faith we believe and what religion we practice, we say our God is supreme lover of peace and prosperity. While we are equally lost in strange paths of modern society, where we do not just condemn fellow religions, but we look forward to seeing the end of each other. Little do we believe, in this process we are deliberately marching forward to our own end.

The whole world today is being open and exposed to threat... Unimaginable and unforeseen, still profoundly ignored at all levels of seriousness. Just think for a moment that when eating one's breakfast one could unknowingly trigger a bloodshed in some corner of the globe! That's the proximity at which we live closest to threat and risk of life today. Bombs are right in front of the footsteps next-door.. neighbours not really neighbours, but watchdogs to overpower humanity at the first opportunity seen.. home services with free goods and subsidies growing us weak economically (it's unnoticeable but true).. public badgering political remarks all over the space without any true purpose.. world leadership crisis costing bigger than expected.. media is the new era judiciary and house of justice.. who's and who's of the world living without a care about the downtrodden.. nothing is as simple as 'survival of the fittest', 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction', or 'apple falling down from the tree'... Our world is too complex to study, so intense and most amplified.

Rooting the hatred for fellow humans and humanity to faith and Gods we believe in! Could anything exceed this ultimate shame on our civilizations?
