Liberty of Time.

Liberty of Time.


              One of the basic lessons we have learnt in these testing times is to survive with the basic necessities (essentials) and do away with our comforts and luxuries. Economies around the world are on the verge of collapse and we are perplexed with the utmost question of "to be '' or "not to be". Depleting resources at one's disposal  adds to our worries.How to keep our body and mind sound when we are surrounded by the whirlpool of death and debt? Such long weekends and indoor confinement seems like a long saga. There is no escape from the innumerable thoughts that keep on occurring every now and then.Economic insecurity and colossal  ideal time at hand is the common phenomenon experienced by one and all. 

Is this forced vacation going to economically and psychologically drain us forever? or as the famous quote by John Milton says,

 " The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, 

                         a hell of heaven."


What if we utilise this ideal time in the most efficient way ?

 No, I don't want to preach to you to follow any time table and be the  most efficient human being. We all did the same for years and there's no need to continue with the same. We all are unique and hence there is no point in chasing what others are doing and in what activities they are investing  their time ? As we have enough time at our disposal so there is no paucity of time but there is paucity of creative thoughts. Here again I am not advocating any specific creative skill that one needs to harness but we all certainly have something exclusive in us so why not harness that skill only for oneself rather than for others. This solitude is the period for introspection and knowing oneself , then do it as you please. By all means you have the full liberty of investing your time as you want. Believe me this offer has the greatest possible returns. Instead of finding faults in your near and dear ones,why not find the point of excellence in oneself? Utilising your energy is such a way that you get exhausted by the end of the day and get a sound sleep to keep you psychologically robust for the next day. Your investment in self recreation will bore you heavy dividends in the form of psychological rejuvenation. Hence grab the offer before your energies are drained out!


Though we are surrounded by testing times and scarcity of economic resources   but abundance of psychological capital in our arsenal will definitely assist us in winning the war with this invisible enemy called corona.

The Pristein Ring Master : A circus called the world

A poetic reflection on leadership, chaos and hope. The Pristein Ring Master   People gathered to witness the world’s oldest circus. At first, performers like fire breathers and jugglers brought delight, Aerialists — trapeze artists and acrobats — amazed the little ones with their flights. But soon, the strongman gave a stern look to the tightrope walker . The magician tried to douse the fire breather’s flame. The clowns — once beloved — entered the ring, And played the worst trumpet known to fame. Their friendly tussle turned too real, Peace, to them, was an unfunny deal. As with world leaders who, too, reject stillness, Addicted to noise, chaos, and the ringing of cash registers. Amid the uproar, the absence of the Ring Master was deeply felt. A cry rose from the crowd — where was he? Behind the dark curtains, a shadow stirred, And from it emerged the Ring Master, finally. With a whip crack and silent grace, Even the furious clowns froze in place. Normalcy returned, laughter r...

The Gini and Me

The Gini and Me I once opened a bottle and a gini came out. The stories I believed as a child melted quietly in my youth— never real, yet never forgotten. As I slided toward maturity, AI gripped the world around me. I want to bottle AI. Remove it, use it, pack it again and again— like a tool, not a tether. Let me feel the wind with skin, not sensors. Let me fail, foolishly, and laugh with no algorithm watching. Let me look as I am— with no filters. Let me be a human— with a brain and a beating, perseverance spider.

Essence of life

A contemplative poem on life journey. Essence of life lies in moving on — from stages of attachment to detachment , desires to nothingness , compulsion to repulsion , selfishness to generosity , darkness to enlightenment , fakeness to authenticity , certainty to uncertainty , vocal to silence — and sometimes, just being an observer and not being judgemental.
