It is good to nothave first world problems... Sometimes

‌ It would definitely be nice to have 1st world problems in life but trust me it is good to not have them. It sometimes really surprises me when I sit with my friends who are privileged. Privileged not in the sense that it is a bad thing. It is not because someone in their life decided to not be underprivileged and of course that passes on to future generations. But not being privileged myself in any sort, it really amazes me when they can focus on problems like "Getting judged", "Not going anywhere this summer", there are many but the most frequent and most surprising for me in particular would be "hating your family to not let you buy a piece of clothing, accessory, game, gadget" etc. Then there are people like me. I am happy they are paying my fees, I am happy I am getting ₹6000 a month to spend on necessities and I don't have to go and work for that money. Not having 1st world problems taught me a lot. Perhaps I am finding a way to make myself feel better but I would never trade my teachings in my younger years that I learnt being in an unprivileged family. The hard work it takes to go from Where I was to where I am. No, not mine. I barely did anything but your loved ones. Yes I definitely want a better life. Yes, I do believe that if we also had those problems we didn't have to worry about basics like food. It would have been a better life. You know what now I have really started to believe I am trying to find a silver line. But I will agree to that, that if I hadn't had this life of course eliminating some really disturbing chapters that I still and never would want which doesn't include having to wear torn uniforms in schools. I love myself for the way I turned out. I love my mother for raising me like this. So the end note would be that I am not grateful for not being able to have 1st world problems but I am okay and it is good sometimes. But I guess it's either sometimes or always, we don't get to choose in between.

Love is not enough

Practical or foolish title? According to some, there are two kind of persons- "If I have love, I can overcome any problem come in my way" and second are those "Love is important but not enough for me to work". But I don't think thats it, I think the who believes in first haven't actually found the problem that can stand between them or they have so many resources or not responsibilities behind them to just look forward to love. In real life, when you so  wanna jump over a cliff for the love of your life, responsibilities hold your hand. Or you care for someone so much that caring less for them for getting your love feels selfish.                 I feel like resources play a very vital role in your reaction towards Love. That thing that we hear "Sometimes person is right but not the timing". Its mostly for those who are chasing something else. Yes, in some cases it's not that meaningful but just an excuse to not get into all this hardship but ...

EVERYONE IS JUST WRITING A STORY

It's just so easy to present yourself as a victim. Everyone has this story of "struggle" that they think makes them worthy, good-enough, unique. Comparing is another behaviour that comes when this "victimises your behaviour". How it works is that you either tell your story to everyone and feel more satisfied when everyone sees you asa lotus that bloomed in a swamp or you listen to others telling their stories to you and you are just sitting there feeling superior because according to you what you went through is a lot and no-one could bear that pressure that you did. Now I am not sure if I could call this superior feel or inferior. So basically humans feel superior when they feel like there was some time in their lives when the person sitting in front of them had more than them, they were not privileged the same, so "They were inferior". Complex, right? Well how fascinating is this awful cycle. Now, let me add something more complex to this. If I or an...

Toys are important than lives

             Never thought while asking for that toy car from my father that having money is a bigger blessings than being alive poor. He refused, I cried, he kept procrastinating but finally my stubbornness won and I got that toy car with which I may have played for a day or two then I wanted something else bigger, expensive, fancy. Now I have grown old a bit for toys but is this what's happening in other houses where fathers are ready to buy their children toys they desire for even if costs them to take few lives. Yes, am talking about all those people who are taking benefits from this situation of pandemic where hundreds and hundreds are dying because those who had to create a protective and supportive system for the men of their country are focused on stuffing their safes with money, who are playing politics, looking for window of opportunities which can either increase their vote bank or favour their so called businesses or worse than all they are...
