Liar Liar

Lies, lies and some  more lies. I have heard people say it that lying is a bad habit. I think if you can lie convincingly then lying is good.

It is not you should lie when you are on stand, you might go to jail due to purgery.

 In life it is the most important thing to lie to yourself. You need to believe those lies, They are our saving graces. Tell yourself daily that I am the best thing that happened to the world. Tell yourself you are going to be great. Slowly but surely you will believe it too. They are not lies per say, they are the things we don't believe we have been told otherwise.

They seem much truer then our words but they make us doubt ourselves. Self doubt and disappointment within ourselves lead to bad things and believing never does anything bad.

It is like that story where everyone assembled to pray for rain and a child brought a umbrella. that is what those lies do to us. They make us believe the unachievable is within our reach.

It is just that it is really necessary to survive this world because no one likes the truth. Not even us. It should be a fairy tale. If it isn't? We need to lie and say it is a fairy tale!

Believe because there is no better lie then this. :)

Beauty Beneath

I was one of those people who believed that if you had inner beauty that was all to it. As I have aged, I realize it is very childish to think of inner beauty as the only valued quality. i think outer beauty too matters. I am not taking about plastic beauty or kilos of make up. I am taking about taking care of yourself. Looking nice!

If someone comes to me and says that I only care about inner beauty that I just want to ask, do they like compliments or not? If they do and they are lying to themselves and others too.

Inner beauty and outer beauty are like the sides of a coin. Both matter. you can't just be good looking or  never care for yourself. Hiding beneath bad choices in clothes, huge glasses is simply wrong. God gave you a gift by making you, please respect by taking care of it. 

I know i am ranting and all but all this takes to me one question. If we can't love ourselves as we are then there is point of living. But is it wrong to look good ? I mean i get that love yourself and be proud of you are. I am not asking people to get plastic surgery. I am just saying a dash of lip gloss never hurt anyone. A good haircut never made anyone frown and above all, a compliment never made anyone cry.

So why to go in this debate of good or bad. Just be the best of you and that means a little TLC and I am all for it. Because It's about Marketing these days and no one likes a bad product. 

Keep smiling and Keep looking Good :)

Diwali Blues ;)

As diwali approaches, I am confused as what it signifies for me. I am not a huge diwali fan especially since my mother decided to make it work hard and no sleep week for me. Diwali is about sweets, new clothes, wishing people, bursting crackers and decorations. I am not sure which one I personally like. If i were to be honest, I'll say none.

I am ambivalent about my feeling and about diwali. I like the lights, the colors but they are not that great.. I am more like a person who would like to celebrate when i want not when everyone else is. It is a nonsense thought. It is mine and I am like that.

I want diwali time to be time to chill and relax not become a day where it is all about work.

I think diwali is about lighting the inner light, not your house. It is about sweetening  your lives not making them. It is about being fair in life, being righteous, not about following some tradition.

Diwali had made me realize after a hard work and bone crushing pain, that one cup of tea i share with my family is more satisfying then new clothes, crackers or even pooja. It is the time to bond :) and bond you should.


Call the people you won't otherwise call, distribute sweets to people who you don't like, give crackers to kids who can't buy their own and help your mum this diwali. She too needs a day off.. :)

P.S. this is after diwali but started before diwali.
