BLOOM

There is a king called Vaibhava, who is so fond of nature, trees, and flowers. He planted a plethora of plants and trees all over his kingdom. Near his fort, he has a beautiful garden.

The garden has all kinds of plants from all over the world. The plants in the garden are so many that it is hard to count. The fragrance from the garden spreads the entire fort. The king has appointed a few men to maintain the garden. It is famous all over the kingdom and neighborhood kingdoms as well.

One day a worker planted a new plant sapling. All the old plants stared at him and later introduced themselves. After a few days, the new plant started blooming flowers. The flowers are so bright, just like " the Sindhur on Kali matha's forehead". The flowers look pleasant. Everyone is amazed looking at them. The king felt delighted. All the other plants felt envious. The new plant is happily blooming, playing with butterflies, insects, etc.

After a few days, a few plants gathered near the new plant and stated- your flowers are useless and are not aromatic. Flowers without aroma are not allowed in this garden. You are a lie; your flowers have no fragrance; look at us, look at the other plants and flowers in the garden they are so beautiful and aromatic. Our fragrance reaches the entire fort. People in the kingdom talk about us over and over. All of them are happy for us. The king finds peace and pleasure in our fragrance. "How useful are you without a fragrance" they questioned it.

After listening to the other plants, the new plant felt heavy-hearted. It has gradually stopped playing with its friends. Until  now it is a happy plant, blooming and smiling, but now it feels useless. It didn't take any pride in its flowers.

By inhaling all the toxic poison ("Negative thoughts, judgment") ,it slowly started fading away and feels sick. The garden doesn't seem a happy place anymore. Its mind filled with self-pity and grief. Slowly, the plant has become weak;it is even unable to bloom flowers properly. On one fine day the plant fell forever.

 



Here, it is not just a story of a plant. The plant resembles you, me, and many people in the world, suffering from criticism and judgment.

The flowers on the plant are all the wonderful and positive traits we possess. The other plants in the garden refer to the people around us, who are constantly interested in judging us, pointing fingers at us intentionally or unintentionally. It all started in the garden; in the same way, the people around us start toxicating us.

Here the plant couldn't be able to filter out the toxic air before inhaling it, and as a result, it lost all the beauty it has got. It lost the things for which it is adored earlier. But we people should shield our brain from these toxic judgments and conclusions. We shouldn't allow them to ruin our lives and lose our charm.

The world keeps judging you no matter what you have, what you are doing, or how you feeling. You are the one who should help yourself from coming out of this sore and remind yourself, how much worth you are.

You should be selfish in recognizing your worth for your own sake and always need to gloss your attitude!

Life in Metro

As usual, I was running late to the office. I booked a Rapido and started my way to the metro station. I paid the driver while reaching the station, jumped off, and ran inside without even thanking him. On the platform, the display showed just one minute for the metro’s arrival. I stood in line, pulled my headphones from my bag, connected them to my phone, and opened Spotify. The metro arrived, and the only good thing so far was that I found a seat. In the rush hour, that’s a rare win. My journey takes about 45 minutes every day, and getting a seat feels almost like a prize. Music played in my ears as I scrolled through my phone. My feet tapped anxiously — I was running late, and my mind was already occupied with the presentation I had to give at the office. Suddenly, the music stopped. At first, I thought it was a Bluetooth issue, so I reconnected. But nothing. Then I checked my phone — no balance left. I needed to recharge. *Perfect.* Another reminder that today wasn’t my day. I took...

One of the Viable Options": The Hardest Rejection I Never Got

 *November 27th**—Vikram’s birthday. This morning, I drafted a "happy birthday" text, but I didn't send it. We met as kids at a family gathering. Our childhood was fun; every time we met, it was a blast. We used to see each other at every family event. After a few years, we became serious about our academics, and our paths diverged. Somehow, we lost touch, our worlds became different, and we both moved to separate cities. I can say we may have completely forgotten each other. Years later, in 2020, the world stood still. Everyone was unsure about what tomorrow would bring, and we all started looking backward. Life was stuck; it was hard to imagine living without social media scrolling. I know the lockdown and the virus changed many lives in different ways. It took lives, created distance between some people, and gave second chances to many others who were looking for them. It cast its own strange spell on all of us. One day, while I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagr...

SUPER MOM

  I’m here to share the deepest secret of my life. This world does not deserve a woman like my mother, who is beautiful and innocent. This world has given her only pain and sorrow.   My grandmother told me, when my mother was born she is charming and really beautiful and her gracious smile attracted everyone. Both my grandparents are very much happy to have her. When she was three-year-old, it was found that she is mentally ill. My grandparents have shattered out. They were so deeply hurt and cried their heart out but they never abandoned her and they have started looking after her even more carefully. All the other kids didn’t allow her to play with them. She was not allowed to join any school. Everyone teased her by calling her mental, psych, etc. Everyone has their way to hurt her. She was never out of the house, she used to stay around my grandparents. She doesn’t know anyone else. years passed like that. Gradually my grandfather's health got worse and he is admitt...
