Category: Behaviours and Attitudes

Humans display different types of behaviours when they interact with each other and the environment around them. These behaviours are the direct outcome of the attitudes that one possesses.

Dissect Fear and get rid of it

A 36-year-old Indian origin Stand up Comedian died on the stage in Dubai, while he was talking about his own anxiety. You try to be stronger, you try to be immune… you try whatever, when anxiety strikes, it definitely does and no Gyan can help. Gyan can only irritate. 
Build kindness into the system, build forgiveness into the psyches, build relationships that do not have the judge and the victim. There is no cure for this epidemic of anxiety and social awkwardness. 

Humans are social animals…, just like most other animals. The only difference is that we are layered and therefore blessed (or cursed) with brains, that develop in leaps and bounds for good or worse.

Introversion or extroversion cannot be the parameters of ‘smartness’, as the prevalent societal norms make people think. It is the place that you have given to ‘fear’ in your psyche that decides and defines you as an introvert or extrovert or ambivert.

Why does social anxiety get the best of the tribe? Why do successful entrepreneurs seem to be the conquerors of fear and doubts?

Trolls

They don’t wait for the explanations,
they do not empathize;
but they do track you with all the accusations, barbs and threats, in order to correct whatever they perceive is wrong with you and torment you in the public eye.

They start from the keyboards,
they start from the smartphones;
travel through the crazy alleys of perceptions, land onto the ears, transferred to the brains, once started they do not stop
you will not even know why!

They claim to be informed,
they project affiliations,
to history and to logic, they show inclinations, they claim to be real and perfect;
but they are none of those since
they are born every day before they die.

They might be humans,
they might be bots;
toxicity is their theme without any inhibitions, but they always have an agenda,
to breathe hate and seek attention;
they will try everything under the sky.

Do open your mouth, let the words flow
let the world know;
that you think otherwise, without crazy intentions. While the pulse races,
and the brain weaves the stories of hope,
they can’t subdue you, let the trolls try!

Being normal

Conformity is a major building block of the giant superstructure of Normal. Normal keeps the engines of the human structures of society, culture and politics, oiled and running. Those who stick their necks out and decide to create their own path and walk or even better, sprint on it, are not ‘normal’. On the other hand, conformity is the way to go for the most because it ensures survival. The jagged edges of exceptional do not bruise their inner child, who is scared as it is. Fear ensures conformity and courage challenges it. Courage leads to extreme successes and failures and many times failures are the stepping stones for success and vice- versa. Success is like walking a rope above the ocean of conformity. This is so because, success thrives on exceptions and challenges. Success needs its own path. Do you still want to be normal?

I

I am so I

isn’t that what troubles you?

if I become you

won’t you still be troubled?

Din

In the constant clamour

and the din,

the voices of reason are stifled.

The helpless voices on the periphery

can’t even reach

the windows of their homes.
