Attemting a Tag ... If I were ...

Its been years since I attempted any tag or passed around any. In the afternoon found a very interesting on a blog titled A rose is a rose is a rose!( rose being one of my favorite plants; explains why I landed up there)

All I got to do ( and you too after you read this) is attempt these If I were(s)

  • If I were a month, I would be April ( for it marks the start of a new year according to our lunar Hindu calendar and hence reminds us of fresh beginnings and new starts.)
  • If I were a day of the week, Sunday ( for it symbolizes to me, a day to relax, to cook, not to go out anywhere and spend some quality family time)
  • If I were a time of day, I would be afternoon ( Always bright and over bearing :P )
  • If I were a season, I would be spring ( for bygone is now bygone and it is time to act and do everything afresh and fresh )

  • If I were a planet, I would have options like Mars ( Mangal is my surname so they are akin) or Pluto (My friend Khus always loved that planet) or Jupiter (Sabu of Chacha Chaudhary came from there) but I would chose Earth; for it's variety of everything.

  • If I were a direction, East is my favorite destination for Sun rises up from there.
  • If I were a piece of furniture, A plush recliner type of sofa. Comfy and relaxing yet stylish & sophisticated looking.
  • If I were a liquid, I’d be a lemonade (Sweet and tangy)

  • If I were a tree, I’d be a Mango tree. For the shade it gives out and the fruits it bestows. Not to forget a towering personality.
  • If I were a tool, pliers.( My dad used to manufacture them, and am awed by its utility. I manage to use it for a plethora of purposes.)
  • If I were a flower, A rose ( for the fragrance and the short life it has; giving out a great impact.)
  • If I were an element, gold. Always shining and also for the exuberance it radiates.

  • If I were a gemstone, Diamond - for clarity and sparkle. ( Not to mention how much females love diamonds :-P)

  • If I were a kind of weather, a blend of nice sun and good rains. ( Just like that)

  • If I were a musical instrument, Piano perhaps. ( for rhythms and patterns.)

  • If I were a color, Orange ( brightness and buoyancy )
  • If I were an emotion, The silent kind of happiness. the one u have tears in ur eyes and a smile in your heart.

  • If I were a fruit, Apple perhaps. Like the crunchy sound of it.
  • If I were a sound, the sound of rain falling over the earth. Touche.

  • If I were a car, Willy's ( Rough, Tough and likes to munch food now and then.)
  • If I were a material, Linen ( Cool, stylish and sophisticated)
  • If I were a food, Aloo's chaat ( Spicy and wonderful)
  • If I were a taste, Taste of chocolate. Rich Dark Chocolate. ( It has that Oomph factor)

  • If I were a scent, it would be a variant of musk. (For the masculine and raw fragrance it radiates.)
  • If I were an object, a book ( All knowledgeable, possibly preachy but still your best friend.)
  • If I were a song, I’d be Hazaron Khwahishen aisi, ki har khwahish pe dum nikle. ( for the zillion ambitions my heart carries )
  • If I were a body part, the brain ( for it always opposes the heart; at least most of the times)
  • If I were a place, Anywhere with large farms, meadows and a lovely cottage. (For although it shall sound like a calm place, inside it would be tough and rough, just like me)
  • If I were a facial expression, A long distant glance towards the horizon ( for the search of depth and also for the calmness that is at that time on the face)
  • If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be a pair of sandals ( for it has both, some open spaces, some closed spaces)
I wish all my friends and readers do this tag. So if you are reading it, do attempt it, but not before commenting here.
Thanks

Adopt what is right.....

I see that many people of my age group adopt certain western cultures. School students and college goers are often seen buying friendship bands and valentine cards. I feel its not right. You may think I am traditional and don't keep up to date views. But if you think a little maturely you will find out its not modern to wear friendship bands. Its rather pure pride. Now as I am talking about western culture I should tell you that I'm not against it in fact I find some of the western values very much followable like dignity of work, civic sense, accountability etc. We have to maturely decide what to adopt from the westerners and what not to adopt. Why should we go after them when we have a culture of such great versatility? -Priya Joyce

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

7 Wild healing practices That Healed Me More Than Coaching Ever Did: What If Getting Better Means Getting a Little Wild?

What if healing does not always begin with another question, another worksheet or another carefully worded goal? Wild healing practices invite emotion into the body through movement, sensation, sound, memory and ritual. This first-person journey explores seven unconventional practices that helped me notice what conversation alone could not, while keeping therapy, safety and genuine trauma care firmly in view. Have you ever spent so much time trying to improve yourself that you began to suspect that self-improvement had quietly become another job? I know the feeling. There was a period in my life when I could discuss my emotional patterns with impressive confidence, identify my triggers before breakfast and explain the origin of almost every uncomfortable reaction with the solemn satisfaction of a man who had finally discovered the instruction manual for himself. I was learning, reflecting, journalling, setting intentions and having sensible conversations about growth. On paper, I was d...
