A thing of beauty is joy forever


I remember reading this quote by poet, John Keats in my high school. I used to wonder maybe being beautiful is the happiest thing in one’s life. As I grew up I realized that my thinking was wrong.

A thing maybe visually appealing, but if the quality is poor nobody would want to own it. Often when we go for shopping we get fooled by external features of an object. When we buy it and it’s not up to our expectation we don’t take a minute to throw it away.

It’s not only applicable for objects but for some people too. There are many who are so beautiful and attractive to eyes, but when it comes to their behavior, it’s filled with envy and hatred. Such people are the most toxic to the society. They make friends with an intention of hurting and cheating. They are characterized by a very sweet tongue and a bitter heart. They can never be friends with anyone. They are always left alone at the end. If you are going to fall for their candied words then be ready to face the consequences. It’s true that often we are tricked. But we can always learn a lesson from it and stay aware. We can entrust a person but once the trust is broken we shouldn’t be so foolish to believe them again.

I have seen many such people in my life, who have a fair skin tone but their hearts are blackened. I would always like to give preference to a person who is very humble and polite though not attractive rather the proud one with good looks.The moral of the story,Beauty and beast comes to my mind - 

"True beauty comes from within:its about being kind to others. It also shows how the beast is turned to a prince by beauty’s pure love for him."

I agree with John Keats, a thing of beauty is indeed a boon in each one’s life. A person who has a beautiful character and conduct can make anyone’s life blessed. Often many prefer the one who is  appealing to the eye and in this effort they forget the most important aspect. The one who is less attractive but has a pure intention can do wonders. They are like an oasis in the middle of desert that can help to survive. They should be always held tight and kept close in life, which leads to happiness and joy. Physical appearance fades away with time, what remains at the end is good deeds and good thoughts. So always reach out to kind and good hearted people and never lose them in life. They are the ones to be treasured.

You are a mother now

My life completely changed when I saw those two pink lines. He was equally elated. The first thing people started asking me was -" Do you want a girl or a boy baby?" Honestly I didn't want a girl and I had my own reasons for that. I didn't want her to be a show piece whom people would judge. I didn't want her to be a epitome of patience and allow anyone to oppress her. I didn't want her to be a entertainer in the name of marriage. I didn't want her to live her life according to others wish. I didn't want her to cry alone and suffer just because Allah made her different. I didn't want her to be like me!  But Allah had other plans. He blessed me with a girl. The day I saw her, I started crying, I didn't know whether it was out of joy or sadness. I cried my heart out. She was so tiny and the nurse said she was just like me! A relationship between a mother and a child is the purest one on the earth. I started falling in love with her ev

To live or to die?

You know what's the toughest stage in life? It's when you don't know whether you want to live or die. Your mind is just confused, stuck and blank. Somedays you want to achieve a lot of things in your life and somedays you just don't feel like getting up from bed. You feel like you have no reason to live and no reason to die either! 'You got one life and you need to live it according to your terms!' - I have heard such lines from many life coaches and others. But do we even get to live according to our terms? If you are a woman- then you don't have choice in anything. Even if you are independent, somewhere your life always gets stuck between family and career. Woman are just trained from childhood, trained to be people pleaser. You ate a chocolate without your parents permission, you are a bad girl. You chose black t-shirt- you are bad because your mother likes white. In this cycle, we forget what do we like actually? We eventually start killing o

True vs Fake

Sometimes grief just eats you up. You feel like crying loudly and tell the world that you can no longer handle it. You are just done with your life. Sometimes you can't even cry and there is a weird sorrow inside your stomach. You can neither vent it out nor let out a cry.  I wonder what has my life turned into. A complete mess! When you think finally things are falling into place, that's when you realise it's beginning of a new obstacle. The only question which remains in my mind is 'Why me?' I never thought that a girl who always excelled in studies will fail in life. Failure never hurts me but the expectations which I keep from people does. I always thought a heart which is truthful can live a beautiful life but that's a complete lie. A liar lives the best life. You should know how to trick and manipulate. But I still haven't learned it yet! I don't even want to!  How do fake people live? I always wonder. Aren't they tired of putting u
