Sometimes



Sometimes, the truth breaks you,
it breaks you to see the light,
the light from the cracks of the pain,
the cracks from the bruise,
the bruise that you said it’s alright, 
the bruise you let it to be a scar,

Sometimes, the truth breaks you,
to see the scar that reminds you the truth,
the truth that you chose to ignore,
the truth that you defined it to be a lie,
the truth you thought it to be an illusion,

Sometimes, the truth breaks you,
it breaks you to be kind,
the kindness that lets you to hope,
the hope that lets you to be optimistic,
the optimism that lets you be emphatic,

Sometimes, the truth breaks you, to build a new 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...

we miss you :(

The one who never complained, always smiled and amidst all the pain stayed calm. People say be like lotus and bloom in a pool of ditch… but my goal is to be like You, my dearest Maama…  it’s been three full years without you!! Yet I still cannot accept that you are not here.  To me you are still there at your store, staying super busy minding your own business… One of my fondest memories of my childhood would definitely be seeing you work endless hours and still be very warm and fatherly… Your way of treating everyone felt so godly that no one could take your place. That heart of yours was so pure… always...  It hurts so much to know that you are not here with us… and that everything broke apart… Not talking to you while you were here, considering that I still have time will always be my biggest regret of this life…I miss you so dearly… those people around you didn’t deserve your love and kindness… they didn’t recognize your worth while you were here…...

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 ...
