Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,

How are you dealing with 2020, so far?

Working all night, sleeping all day,

Missing those idiots who make me laugh,

Spending the days that never return,

I feel so dumb right now

6 words are not enough

To explain this madness!

Chores, Rationing, Fear!

My daughter, Family, Frustration!

I do hope that you make

Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly

(with a mask)

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world. I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves. It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people. But how does one love someone who hates themselves? Let's see. I want to love you no matter what you do whether you hit, beat or curse I want to love you no matter who you are genuine or a toxic farce I want to love you no matter what you throw defenses, screams and abuses galore I want to love you You know why? It's the only thing that's gonna set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...

The Art Of Acceptance

" Acceptance, in human psychology, is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. " - Wikipedia Hello Wanderers... an august April to you (pun intended :P)! March has been a month of earning too many brain wrinkles (which appear when one attempts to learn or apply something new), academically, spiritually and emotionally for me. And here I am to share my insights on the art of acceptance ( which would have made March so much more simpler for me ). What does acceptance have to do with brain wrinkles? You'll be able to answer this question by the end of this article. Now, before I start, let's get the basics straight. We lovely hoomans, with our amazing brain capacity and fantastic ability to analyze, create and predict, sadly tend to falter in one area where all other species seamlessly succeed - ACCEPTANCE.
