25 and Disappointed: Humans

25 and Disappointed: Humans > God?

Many people believe in God - and idea that the God shall protect the good, punish the wrong and guide the lost. For many, God is the foundation, support. It’s the guiding spirit. Or anything. The idea of God is not something explainable in such a simple terms.

But my belief of God, being someone who is watching and all powerful is beginning to deteriorate.

The planet is burning.

Our children are starving.

People are sleeping hungry while food is thrown away.

Wars. Floods. Abuse. Injustice.

Still, we are praying?

The thing is - everything I see - good and bad - is stemming from humans.

People are saving each other.

People are hurting each other.

God.. is just there watching?

Can we say “God will help?”

I wonder at people who ask “How will you explain this miracle?”

I want to ask them - Even if that is God, why only that miracle?

Why not stop countless tragedies happening round the clock?

Why not use power to feed every child, bring water and end the pointless suffering?

If the God is almightily powerful, why the God is doing so little?

God is just a symbolic? Maybe yes. Some people need the idea of God to be in a righteous path. That is fair enough.

But the idea that God, who should be guiding all of us, seems like sitting in silent. That silence is terrifying.

Maybe, dear God -

If you’re listening,

I would like to say -

Sorry. You’re not doing enough.

Maybe, if the God is busy, if it’s just us, then this is a reminder to all my fellow humans -

Please be kinder.

Be better.

Be more human than the God, so we can be more Godly than the God.

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind. But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying. Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

25 and Disappointed: The tragedy of leaving home

It’s strange, isn’t it? We live in a world with high-speed internet, 5G, instant messages, Zoom calls and flight tickets that can take us across the country in a few hours. The world has never been more connected. And yet… we’re all so far apart. We are becoming disabled in this tech enabled world. People move away from home more than ever. To study. To work. To “build a future.” Yes, it’s needed sometimes. For learning. For exposure. But often… it seems we are allowing it quietly more than required. Maybe it’s just the system forcing us to. All the jobs are in cities. All the money, infrastructure and “opportunities”. Hence we leave. We leave behind warm meals, evening walks with parents, familiar lanes and families that actually feel like festivals. We leave people who raised us - and see them only on phone calls or during a short visit squeezed between deadlines. For what? For a cubicle in a crowded city, A rented flat that never feels like home, Weekends that vanish in chores,...

my fav quotes from my teachers

On the occasion of Teacher's day, I wanted to remember my fav teachers in school/teacher and their quotes that stayed fresh in my mind after many years. NOTE: I may not remember the exact words. These are just from my memory. Anyway, who cares? From my social sir in school:- When does a revolt rise? When people lose their patience. From my Sanskrit sir in jr. college:- There is no edge for knowledge. From my chemistry sir in jr. college:- No one wants to return from the death. Maybe death is very beautiful. Also from the same sir:- When you comb your hair, your focus should be on completely on your hair and the comb. Also from the same sir:- In a forest, the tallest animal is Giraffe. The wisest animal is fox. The largest animal is Elephant. Lion is none of them. But still he is king of the jungle. From my maths sir in jr. college:- (he said in a form of poem which his teacher told) I am going through a forest, On the way there was beautiful trees, with bloomin...
