Sometimes



Sometimes truth breaks you,
 it breaks you to see the light,
 the light from the crack,
 the crack from the bruise,
 the bruise you said was alright,
 the bruise you let become a scar
 
Sometimes truth breaks you,
 to see the scar that reminds you of the truth,
 the truth that you chose to ignore,
 the truth that you defined as a lie,
 the truth you thought was an illusion

Sometimes truth breaks you,
 to show you the mirage,
 the mirage of your success,
 the success that cost you your love,
 the love you once took for granted.

Sometimes truth breaks you,
 to show you the parts of the regrets,
 the accepted regrets from the mistakes,
 the mistakes that seemed like a last chance,
 the chances you hoped would last forever,
 the hope you desired for one last time.

Sometimes truth breaks you,
 it breaks you to be kind,
 the kindness that let you hope,
 the hope that let you be optimistic,
 the optimism that let you be empathetic.

Sometimes truth breaks you, to let you live with you…

All I hear is work!

The key aspects that most employees consider while selecting any employer would be compensation, growth and career development.  It is very important to also consider and ask questions about the workplace, the health of the potential team that you'll be joining and the environment that an organisation provides. Don't go with "What worse can happen?" Also, when a person leaves org one of the many reasons would be work environment.  Now, how can an organisation of let's say 100 to 20000 employees be responsible for one person's exit? and how can this be standardised as each employee is unique?  A 2022 study in the MIT Sloan Management Review cited toxic work cultures as the top driver of employee attrition—well above job insecurity or lack of recognition for performance.  The report said leading contributors to toxic work cultures included failure to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), workers feeling disrespected, and Unethical behaviour...

I'm fine! I'm thrilled

Yayy, good news! Congratulations!! Maternity shoots It's a ! Baby shoots How lovely...   My grandmother used to say, " becoming a mother is the most beautiful moment a woman can experience ".  She hasn't slept properly for days, doesn't even know if it's day or night, just doing the routine job of feeding the baby, and celebrating with others . When asked about how she is, she says, " Yeah, um, I'm fine! I'm thrilled ," but she questions herself why she doesn't feel that way. She musters all the courage and with fear expresses her dark emotions, about how she's going through a weird feeling that was supposed to be cloud nine. Her family calls her a monster , telling her to get out of that space and be there for her child and to Grow up . She curses herself, filled with guilt for not being able to care for her child the way her family wants, the way society expects, and most importantly, the way she dreamed all her life . She still ...

One day...

One fine day, a long, painful problem got resolved, and then I decided to thank the lords for helping me solve them. I looked up the auspicious temples listed online, according to history and mythological stories. It did take an effort, travel, money, and time. But hey, it is where God resides, isn't it? So I made all the arrangements accordingly and was ready. While waiting for my flight in the lounge, I read the news where a state was almost drowned due to floods, and the lives of at least hundreds were just destroyed. Families were washed away in this turmoil. I thought, what bizarre that these families must have done to anger the same Lord I was going to visit! Appalled to say the least. On my way from the airport, while in the car I noticed a bunch of homeless people in a hurry to find shelter as it started pouring out. They had about a 2x2 area which was covered by very cheap and, to my perspective, a dirty plastic cover.  I was wondering why they are on the road...
