Escapism

Escapism as defined by different word power sources is the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.

Escapism is not running away from the distress, it's just finding ways to remain stressfree as well as rigid, content and continuous all through the path of life. It lessens the turbidity and helps the tainted soul attain some freshness.


Human nature is always demanding something new to happen every moment so as to keep flavoring the dish called life.


For a teacher

For a student
For a businessman
For a housewife
For a loner
For a youngster
For a lost lover
And for all of us here on this earth embraces in the viscious circle of life and death there are different ways to create fantasy out of the blue...it's not about quitting, it's about bringing in a change. A change that can make you feel rejuvenated, relaxed, entertained and pleasant. 

I started writing this post (on 28 July) with a self-centred stimulus when I saw a picture on Pinterest titled Escapism.

 The picture featured a girl stepping ahead on an endless road not knowing where to go but it seemed as if she wants to run away from the realities for a while so as to gain the momentum for the ordeals to come.

To a common man escapism may sound fleeing away or quitting but it's actually the other way round. It's an opportunity for one to discover other aspects of life which bring in new energy, zeal and mirth and in turn help you deal with the present situation as well.

Now, the very next day (29 July) I saw this

The teaser released by Bear Grylls.(Adventurer @DiscoveryChannel) featuring Indian Prime minister.


It was so fascinating for me not just because I am a Modi fan but because of his ardent and impeccable style...I found another meaning to escapism, his charm and amity amidst the Wild swept off all my ignorism.


I adore the way this man has helped us Indians escape various myths associated. The way he represents and presents the state of his country at the frontfoot is incredible as well as incomparable.


No place where he is not making a Mark... leaving no opportunity to bring forth the beauty of his country not only verbally but empirically too.


Excerpts from his response on appearing in the show Man Vs Wild -:

"For me, this show presents a great opportunity to showcase to the world India's rich environmental heritage and stress on the importance of environment conservation and living in harmony with nature. It was a great experience spending time in the jungle once again, this time with Bear, who is blessed with indefatigable energy and quest to experience nature at its purest," 

He took this wonderful step as part of life beyond politics, needless to mention, he still had his country on mind along with the environment conservation. Can't this be taken as escapism from the political field while still strengthening the same during the escape. That's powerful indeed. Waiting for August 12!


31st July aired the shocking news of 

mysterious disappearance of CCD founder VG Siddhartha followed by his death.

He is supposed to have jumped off into a river from a bridge as he could not make up for His debts.
As per media he wrote a note -:
"I have failed to create the right profitable business model despite my best efforts. I would like to say I gave it my all. I am very sorry to let down all the people that put their trust in me. I fought for a long time but today I gave up as I could not take any more pressure...," his note read.

What kind of escapism is this? 

Agreed , you tried your best , but sportsmanship says you have to be alert till the end of the game, no matter what!

Dedicated to the Coffee king - EPHEMERAL

Murk comes along with splendor but when things are resplendent
They take away the murkiness
Veil it at someplace, where it seems to be indiscernible;

But who knows that this glory is “EPHEMERAL”

And one day unwittingly turns into a gloom………
Days pass by, so do the months and years;
Life stays the same whether it’s far or near.

Somberness or aura walks hand in hand ,
To make vibrant the charisma of life
That at times is BEAUTIFUL and at times PAINFUL.

Though I don’t know who YOU were,
But still I hold the sentiment of great grief;
Unfathomable, which obligates me to bring out
Something for YOU, and says you were a part of our proximal vicinity.

Escaping from a particular problem is not a solution. I think we should fight with the issue

In the making of 'The Best'

  I n the making of 'The Best' Actions speak louder than words. To prove yourself you don't need to shout   it's just that you have to be patient   let your hard work speak   and make some noise loud. Success will always choose the best and if you are ‘ THE BEST ’ , better than the rest then why to vex.   Competition!!!!  Competition!!!! Competition!!!! began the day you were born Not for you to be shattered or to get torn. It is everywhere but it is nowhere, But you have to beware and apprise yourself -   Silence and patience are wonderful virtues    to build up a calm and pleasant personality. Give a SHOUTOUT to YOURSELF –   I’ m not running any race Because I know I am THE BEST better than the rest. As I see the rest trying to chase Rising high or   falling in disgrace   WHY to chase! When I can win at my own pace.  ...

THE WINDOW

  Self Love is the Greatest Love Most of the days, She sees! you look at her , You look at her, to be jealous and not appreciate. You look at her to replicate and not learn from her. You don't look at the way you are always supported, You don't look at the way you are always respected. You look at her, to know what's cooking besides her. That's your problem, but it casts a spell of low spirits on to her. That's Why She has kept The Walls High And Firm Around the Self She owns. She now tries to honor, The Self She owns, in a Safe Keeping,  So That Nobody Can invade Into Her Space whether looking in or peeping. As its not once but many a times, you have tried to breach, but God's grace, You couldn't reach. To break that window you need to have a class   Breaking each and every  pane of glass. Why Should She Build A Door In Her Walls and Allow You in. She is humble, You are full of Pride.She always strides against the tides, to fill the void discerned by her sm...

The Short (Hair) Cut to memories

Bored of those long locks growing incessantly, as if there was no way to stop them from growing. It felt like the never ending set of problems which pop up anytime - anywhere, just at the moment when trying to settle.  So thought of getting up to bring to a halt, the boredom and monotony around. A new hair cut gave another revival by the end of this year. a revival of new hopes with a new year approaching and bringing in solutions to various problems just lying aside.  A little bit of change here and there brings a spark that ignites an urge to a blissful living. In these past 9 years, I never left home without them, except for a rare moment. This time without informing them and taking advantage of them being independent individuals now, I stepped out. As I returned home my kids were surprised to see the change and it felt for a moment that lot of energy has been added to my aura which led to invariable smiles full of surprise.  It felt as if the hard rock I was carrying ...
