Darkness and light

An eye for an eye. Tit for tat. These are things that we have grown up listening to. 
Many circumstances in life hurt us. People and situations can have such a bad impact on us. Some people lash out in their anger without thinking the problem through. What were the circumstances behind the lash out or the reason behind such illicit behavior. Revenge might seem like a very good option.


Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can. While watching a movie, this line got stuck in my head. I'm a person who strongly believes in this. It's always darkest before the dawn. So how ever bad a situation in your life gets, you should believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Same goes for those who believe in revenge. There is no need to rush off at someone who fired out at you or put you down. If you believe in revenge; it shows you are actually a weak person. It shows you are not able to withstand the downfall and rise up on your own. You are a person who will only be able to get up again after you have returned the favor.

 What we fail to understand is that there is a reason behind every action.
Some people are just short tempered. Its their upbringing. So does it mean they can blame it on their roots? Definitely not. I believe it is something that can be changed over a course of time. It's like substance abuse. It might seem like it wont go away but it is not impossible. It's just very tough to give up.

 At some point of time in life each one of us would have fallen prey to some form of revenge or hate feud. But it's how you react that decides the fate of that feud getting out of hand.

 Some people do these stuff to other people cause they too were victims of such attacks but they haven't found a way to get out of the mess. They think that if they hurl the same insults back at someone else they win. But that achievement is short lived till they find their next victim. I think its because they think they can't forgive themselves or think they are not good enough to live like normal people. There's always a choice. You can either be a good person and talk to the person or go ahead and be just like him or rather worse and hit him back. But just think for a while. What are you gonna get out of hitting him back with the same insult? Pleasure to soothe your ego that you are better than him? Or think about how you could talk to him and find out the reason for the attack and find a way to bring him up. Not only will you have saved yourself but also him. Bring a smile on other people's faces not a frown. Make the world a better place to live in. You must be the change you want to see in others.


You can take a stand and be the light to pave the way for those whose souls are darkened.

Brown Family Problems

Namaste! :) I hail from a brown family with rich Indian roots. Now that sucks. The diversity in culture and language might be good. But honestly Indian traditional customs are so narrow minded. They play a lot of importance on family values. Well, in one way that could be good and I do appreciate it but on the other hand it goes to an extreme end. I do realise that times are changing but this is not a problem that goes away so easy. No matter how modern a family you say you come from; as long as your Indian, you face the same issue. They care too much about what society thinks and mind you, Indian society is very bitchy and judgemental! Every neighbour or older person ( called uncles or aunties) play a major role in your life. You may try your best to keep them out of your life. But they ain't going nowhere. They will have a say in your life. They end up being the ones deciding where you study, who your friends are and ultimately who you get married to! This is the most ab...

Brown Family Problems #2

And continuing from my previous post.. Dowry as I said earlier is kind of like a price tag. You hit the bull's eye when you get your target right on the money. It's quite a debated topic with a lot of laws in place to abolish the practice of accepting dowry; but that's all just in paper. In order to come into effect it's gonna take a long time. It basically means changing the mindset of a chunk of society which can be quite the challenge. Another thing about Indian marriages or so would be the qualification of the bride and groom. If the bride is a doctor then she can only get married to a doctor. Equally important is your religion or caste . Getting married to a person not from the same caste or religion is like the biggest sin anyone could commit.If  He/she proceeds with a marriage of such sort, they would bring on themselves the shun of society and family. The family would practically disown you and kick you out. Trust me I am not exaggerating when I s...
