A fresh perspective matters

 




Amidst all the uncertainties that lie before us, take a moment to step out to see the moon? In the midnight, there might be a tune hummed by the cool breeze that you land up liking or lose yourself in the starry sky. Breathe consciously. But does it help to find the answers to our baffling questions? Does it help to feel less confused in this world where information is being bombarded from all directions? Or is it urging us to be 'irrationally' positive?

 

Robert Morgan once wrote, "Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and may be objectivity."

 

Sometimes it's difficult to imagine the puzzle pieces in front of us can ever be turned into one picture. We invest our time, energy, and run around for the right guidance and with some idea we start to join the puzzle pieces. But the journey is not meant to be smooth? Probably that's why the achievers say that "Process is more important than the result."

 

And don't the setbacks strengthen us more than our achievements? When the path seems too difficult that's when we need to take a step back and wait like in a match of volleyball we take a 'time- out'. This break is not meant to be a solution but a guide that leads to a solution.

Takeaways from the Council of Europe

Image
  The Council of Europe is an international organization based in Strasbourg. This is of the key institution that promotes human rights, democracy, and the rule of law across Europe.  I attended the presentation on the work of GRETA (Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings). I was glad to learn that at the Council of Europe, regular summits and meetings are held to discuss key issues and priorities of the organization, and this time in May 2023, the summit will be held in solidarity with Ukraine. Today the flag of the EU which has become a shared symbol of European integration was chosen in 1955 by the Council of Europe and eventually adopted by the EU in 1985. I managed to get collect some interesting facts regarding the Council of Europe but I'm always on the lookout to learn more ...

Nuances in life

Image
  At times we want to pen down our thoughts of the times when we were speechless. Sometimes the words are not enough. Sometimes the time passes too fast. Or sometimes we sit with a pen but the paper in front remains un-inked for hours.   Every conversation that begins with 'Hello' carves its own path - long or short. Sometimes so short that it begins and ends with the same 'Hello'. Or sometimes we stand and immerse ourselves into the short silences during the conversation.   Why are these nuances in life?   Sometimes the sky is multicolored and sometimes simply blue. At times the breeze is too strong and sometimes it is all still. The walks in the woods relax us and sometimes the stress of performing breaks us.   We are the followers who lead at times. We are the change makers who resist at times. We, who are trained to run, are also at times expected to remain motionless.   Why are these nuances in life?   Some sea shells, broken or intact, lie at the...

The Noise and The Silence

Image
    The rays of sunlight were reaching out to the muddy road through the leaves of the dense trees. And there was a complete silence. As if the silence was ready to write its own story. The clear blue sky would witness the story writing. Till now several sounds had evoked sentiments, what would the silence want to express? The pages of the book waited to be inked.    In the background, a butterfly was playing with the wind and some birds were flying from one branch to another. But the silence was focussed on the leaves soaked in sunlight. The book laid on her side. The usual hustle and bustle was rendered calm. The benches laid empty. The fresh green grass on the side of the muddy road looked greener than ever before. It felt that the surrounding was helping the silence to express herself.    The silence turned the un -inked pages of the book. And after several years...   The noise and the usual hustle and bustle of the city life returned. The sil...
