Freedom

Freedom cannot be given, taken away or earned. All of us are born free no matter which gender, age, nationality or culture we belong to! 

Whether you are a home

maker waiting to take that long awaited solo trip or a passionate lover who is fighting with his parents to marry the person you love instead of arranged marriage or a creative person with a lot of inputs waiting to put your point across in the meeting in front of everyone; in all these scenarios you feel that your responsibilities, your burdens, parents, or your colleagues are stopping you, but if we think deeper we will realize it is our own fear which is taking away our freedom. 

‘Freedom cannot be completely embraced until you say goodbye to your fear.’

The famous advertisement ‘Dar ke aage jit hai’ should have been actually ‘Dar ke aage freedom aur growth hai’. Because any victory or success can’t be guaranteed, but being obsessed with it can surely keep us away from many lessons of life. 

Being raised with the motto of being successful or doing things perfectly and being scolded when we did something wrong has taken away our natural freedom of making mistakes. Do you remember riding your bike for the first time or requesting your parents for a pocket money or approaching your crush or giving that public speech in school or giving the first interview of your life?

The truth is all of these things had a risk of failure but the beautiful fact is that you made an attempt anyway, you chose freedom to give yourself an opportunity to make a mistake. 

That’s what matters to learn and grow, so why do we chase success or victory? Shouldn’t we chase freedom?  Freedom to live the way we want, to speak our heart out and to make mistakes freely!

“Never wake me up from my fairy-tale"

Why that someone special is needed? Why do we look for 'not so casual' relationship? Why after a while being unsure about someone makes us anxious?

“No, no, not again dude, you have messed enough already,” someone freaked out so

loudly that he had everyone’s attention in the coffee shop.

“Relax, I haven’t taken that step yet, I am just kind of thinking on those lines,” came the reply from the other fellow. Well I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but a little break from the novel when you are as it is going to get disturbed didn’t seem so harmful.

“What, no, you always say that in the beginning and then eventually say you don’t have control over what happens!”, the protesting friend said.

“I know, but what to do? I had no clue that first date was going to become so interesting. I was hoping that we would just have general talk over a cup of coffee and I would head back home and nothing else. But it didn’t happen. We had freaking amazing time together… and she is so awesome dude… Do you know how multitalented this girl is…. She is an artist, a guitarist, a tarot card reader and also a fashion designer. Our conversation moves from one topic to another and it just doesn’t get boring”, he continued with sheer excitement in his voice.

The listener friend had a constant ‘I know where this will lead to’ kind of smile as he sipped his coffee looking at his ‘crazy over someone’ friend, which I could notice from the mirror at my side.

“Your Green Tea , Maa’m”, the waiter interrupted my focus on them.

This got me thinking, I wondered why people decide to get into a relationship, sometimes even after having a little idea that it might not lead where they want it to be. Why do we crave for partnership at any cost? Why do we let our heart lead shutting our logical mind? No matter how strongly we try to suppress our feelings for someone, eventually our heart gives in. Sometimes under the influence of alcohol or at times just an emotional burst out or after meeting a close friend we pour our deepest secrets. Secrets of desiring someone, feel like calling or texting that someone, want of having that someone around, or may be just hoping to see their one glance, or perhaps the wish to get closer at a deeper level than the present state, or the dream of perhaps imagining your future with them. And they all look so lovely when we actually see them oozing out of our mind may it be with any external stimulation. But once they are on the surface, you feel wonderful. If it happens alone, you are elated. If it happens while conversing with a friend you hug them tight for getting this out of your system.

But once you see them and whatever they are, you unconsciously start acting on them. It is kind of procuring a license of ‘go ahead’ which you have been waiting for without your knowledge. It seems right because now they are open in front of you. And you no more have to be confused or run away from these feelings. It starts growing on you faster than you ever thought it would.

Once you have allowed yourself facing this inhibition, all cards are turned opened in front of you, and all that remains for you to do is taking the next step.

“Yes dude, I am thinking of going to the Leh road trip with her group of her friends next month…yes…and also…. We can go to…” the new lover boy’s loud voice caught my attention.

I lost them again as it went from the Leh trip plan to the bike rides, then bikes, cars, and my attention got back to the topic of my interest.

How exciting it is in the initial stage, where we slowly discover each other’s choices, our common interests, the moment when you feel the spark in their eyes, the enigmatic phase of ‘thinking of you’, ‘missing you’, ‘can’t wait to meet you’, so on and so forth.

Where does it go wrong then? What goes wrong? How do we forget these beautiful days? The initial attraction and passion fade away, and that’s true, it does. So what glues us together? Beyond the initial spark or what motivates us to hang on or to make it work with someone? It is certainly a conscious effort to make it work, a decision made by both partners involved.

“Dude…… but ……what about  Sneha? When was the last time you spoke to her? Have you really given up on you guys? I am sorry…. If I am interfering too much… but I was just concerned as you guys have not officially broken up yet…. So…..” the curious friend’s logical question added an astonishing twist to this story, I was more intrigued than before now.

For a long time I didn’t hear any respond. I tried checking from the corner of my eye in the mirror. The lover boy’s head was in his hands and he was staring at the empty plate in front of him.

“……….. She had texted…….. She was……… I don’t want…..” his charged up voice was suddenly gloomy like an unexpected stream of rain pours & fades away in few seconds.

I hated not being able to hear the whole thing though, for a moment felt like even requesting, “Dude, could you be a little louder, please?” I smiled at my stupid thought, looking down in my cup. That’s exactly when his husky voice caught my attention.

“What’s making you smile, Nisha”, he asked taking off his coat, settling in the chair in front of me.

“Nothing, I was just ……. Well… forget that… How have you been?”

“First of all, Sorry, I kept you waiting, I would be lying if I say I have been happy without your texts, calls, or our meetings…” Both of us went quiet.

We had been together from past three years, and today was the exact day, when we had met each other in the same coffee shop. From foreign trips to our bank account’s passwords, from our professional struggles to our family issues, from our fears to our success we had shared more than it was possible to delete now. But still we had decided to delete. Why? I surely don’t know. But somewhere I felt that I waited too long for him to take the next step, to ask me to marry him, which he never did. He had his own logical reasons, responsibilities of his house, and though we did discuss this in the past, we never really came to any realistic conclusion, and that used to piss me off even more. Hence I had to put an end to this one sided driven relationship, I felt like giving it some destiny, perhaps even he felt so. But it wasn’t happening in reality. And then one of the cold winter nights, I had told him that we should move on.

His eyes had changed a lot from that night. I saw pain but no expectations in them. Or was it there? Did he expect me to talk about getting back together?

“Hey Nish…. here’s all your stuff”, my heart stopped listening to that ‘Nish’ sound in his tone; felt like that Nish was being called once again. And she was lost, completely lost.

He handed me a heavy bag of all my belongings which remained at his place, my extra pair of clothes, cosmetics, our photo frames, and lot of memories which might going to turn into thorns for him and for me too, may be.

“I have already sent your courier as I mentioned in the text, it may reach you by this weekend,” I told him trying not to look into his eyes, which were now slightly moist.

“Thank you, for everything” he smiled pushing his chair back holding the table with his hands, I just couldn’t look away. His smile……!

I got up from my chair too without saying anything, was trying to bid a goodbye. He started towards the door, perhaps with a heavy heart dragging his feet, and suddenly he just turned around and asked, “Fuck this shit, do you want to give us another chance, Nish, please? I so want to…..”

And that’s exactly when my stupid phone beeped loudly flashing a what’s app text filled with hearts from Aditya “Baby…. 6:30 sharp today? Hope u r done with ur meeting with Ninad, and got all ur stuff back. Can’t wait to see u my love…” Ninad saw that too. It was too loud not to notice.

“Well…. I guess you don’t want to…..” he left neither finishing his sentence nor his coffee.

I didn’t stop him. I had to reach my new adventure before it could turn to this level, before I could face this reality with him too; I refused anything and everything that might get me out of my fairytale.

Happiness

Happiness

“It found me when I felt I had to walk miles and Climb Mountains to get it. All this while it existed so close to me that I had no clue about it. I was all busy chasing my perceived version of happiness and I had lost myself entirely while doing that. Perhaps I enjoyed the pursuing and the directionless search out of some insanity, but never realized when it had crossed the limit of being my passion and was turning into an obsession, and gradually a burden or may be a low level of depression.

And now I just find myself still, welcoming the natural and unforced set up of my new original happiness. Happiness inside me.” She had a wide grin on her face and a grateful sparkle in her eyes.

After the therapy session, Vipra opened her eyes and shared her unique experience with her new best friend and her life coach Dr. Khan.

She looked into the mirror and could feel her own dazzling energy around herself. For few minutes everything remained silent, and it felt better that way to everyone present in the room.

“ I owe many thanks to you, and have no words to express them. It was like finding a giant tree to hug, lean on and rest under its shadow after being tired running for years,” her satisfaction was evident in her words.

Vipra had been into an unusual kind of depression and emotional traumas which she herself hadn’t recognized from past 10 years. The multiple unsuccessful love relationship had taken a toll on her sentiments. Being a positive thinker and a fighter she always believed in moving on and never giving up on love. This enormous optimism had practically helped her to get accustomed to the post heart breaks and the healing process. Forgiving, forgetting and reconciling seemed right tools for her when each time she gambled with her feelings. It hurt a great deal but she kind of enjoyed the pain too. It was a melancholic state which she found comfortable to deal with.

For years, her professional success and family support kept her strong. These sides of life were sailing so stably that taking care of any other didn’t seem necessary at all. In fact none of the other sides seemed damaged, they just appeared difficult on the surface for a while and then she would naturally take care of it in her own way.

However all of that which was growing in the unknown abundant corner was ignored by her.

Vipra had no clue that her ‘never say die attitude’ had let her not realize her own wounds. She needed to see them, accept them and stop repeating her actions which caused them. Her attempt of self-healing or positive thinking wasn’t proving wrong, but ignoring so much of her own sentiments in the entire process was slowly damaging her strongest walls inside.

Vipra’s confusion between how much to give unconditionally, how much to love without expectations based on her spiritual beliefs; would often clash with the rationality of real life. She was fearless, open and lively in most of her romantic encounters. They started off well, brought a lot of joyous time to both the partners,  learnt and explored. While living that way she had said a lot of ‘No’s to her self-love. Her inner self kept dying with every step she took towards pleasing someone else. She didn’t even realize where empathizing had ended and ‘take me for a granted’ phase had started.

After being highly disturbed for a while and experiencing the impact of her brokenness on her self-confidence, she slowly sensed that there was something wrong in her life. Her unconscious always kept telling her something, which she couldn’t hear. The effect was slowly seen on her high energy in her work and personal life. There always seemed to be something unsettling which she could never point out.

She survived in that state for several years until she met her new life coach by Coincidence. Dr. Khan happened to be a life coach at her new organization. She met him during one of his one to one coaching sessions with another client. She happened to overhear the therapeutic discussion while using the cooler at the corner of a foyer of her department.

After a few unplanned conversations with Dr. Khan, made Vipra felt a bit secured in life. Suddenly the anxiety was diminishing and she just became a bit relaxed. This motivated her to move forward and formally ask for his help.

Dr. Khan being a genius in psychiatry, motivation, numerology, mythology and other expert areas naturally helped identifying her inner fears, she was astonished to find the accuracy in his analysis of her life without sharing a single detail on her own.

His unconventional psychiatric sessions were beautiful and insightful. He helped her find her own talents and gifts with the help of numerology, mythological analogies, life stories, and his liberal approach of consulting. Gradually she was healing.

The formal sessions began on daily basis, and today here she was in her second last session, feeling more poised, calm and sorted. It was as if nothing was going to take away her inner strength and newly found self-worth ever from her.

Dr. Khan replied to her appreciation, “ I am glad I could help, but you don’t have to thank me. This has become the purpose of my life. And it surely seems like a professional duty but deep inside it’s my real goal of being alive. So I would in fact thank you for helping me getting closer to that goal. This brings happiness to me.”

Vipra was overwhelmed and had no words to thank him enough, she just remembered his memorable first words of their first session “So Vipra, are you ready to find the real happiness this year?”

She was glad that she had got up from her desk, went near the cooler and overheard this master speaking of all the wisdom that day. She knew she had found her way at that moment and this time she didn’t ignore her intuition!

On DEATH

On DEATH 

Today you are here; breathing, walking and watching the world around. Tomorrow who knows you might be buried or turn into ashes. In a blink life is over. It is absolutely unpredictable & our journeys are mysterious. All that is true and known to me is NOW in this present moment. The one I can feel and sense here. The one after this & the many lined up afterwards aren’t in anybody’s control. 

I don’t own my life as I have no guarantee of its length. And surprisingly no one can give that guarantee. Not even the astrologers, doctors, scientists, priests, nor the wealthiest and wisest human beings. And that’s how no one owns it. The only owner of it could be this very moment. What’s wonderful & bountiful is filled in this moment. One can only trust that and go ahead with life as it pleases you. Beyond this there’s no assurance or no indication of anything that might come your way.  No matter how terrible or frightening it could be, it clearly gives no such prior intimidation. Someone you used to sit, laugh, dine with yesterday could be gone by today. That’s such a heartbreaking fact, which of course many of us must have seen, heard or even lived.

Death is so final and unsettling. What remains behind are only our memories. That’s especially for the ones who mourn and are shattered after seeing their loved ones leaving the world in pain. Even for those who become awfully silent and tearless, cold as ice. Again going through turbulent emotions and extreme heartache but unable to let it out in front of anyone else or even themselves. And then there are the acquaintances who extend their condolence & remain supportive in every formal way. But worst is the category of those who lose their mental balance or identity or go through a physical trauma or an attack. This vulnerable chunk then becomes the next challenge even before coming out of the grief of the dead.

There’s no category which can be defined as right or wrong at such tragic times. And we might fall under any of these depending upon the circumstances, our bond and closeness with the dead.

Such an intense & sensitive subject; so far I have never had that nerve to write on this. Several times before I had made an attempt but couldn’t get it right. And even now it’s not going to be a guide to anyone who is going through such pain.

Nevertheless what occurred to me strongly was the fact that among all these categories what about the one who is dead. Who knows where he travels; what he goes through; whether or not he can feel the emotional pain. There are all sorts of theories about ‘after death’ in different religions and there are various rituals to be performed to ensure that the soul is at peace or finds its way to heaven.

Apart from the theories I feel the soul comes and leaves your life to show you something. It tries to give some underlying message. No matter which of the above categories you fall under and the soul might have played the smallest or biggest role in your life; the bottom line is it came in contact with you for that shortest or longest time with a purpose. May be a reason which isn’t so noticeable or obvious to our normal perception. There are some things unrecognizable to us instantly. Deep within they all have a reason to tell us, show us, teach us something new. A message to be read & comprehended beyond the conscious world. Perhaps something that exceeds even our bonding  or relationship with that person; a universal message of life for us to unravel.

Like, I have surely learnt the value of my present moment with some recent experiences. And surely trying my best not to dwell between the past and future but to focus all my energy on my NOW.

“What not to forget in Adversity”

                    “What not to forget in Adversity”

Don’t you dread those unexciting, gloomy times when you feel nothing is going right? Such moments are so stressful that they don’t let you sleep peacefully. 

Yes, I am referring to every situation which doesn’t work as per our expectations. The disappointment can appear in any manner.  It could be something smallest as forgetting to add the most important ingredient in your recipe or anything biggest like losing your most important PPT on your presentation day. From losing your phone in an auto to having hard time with your boss, from breaking up with someone you love to having a dispute with your parents to claim your freedom, from getting upset about the daily chore which got delayed to not able to understand where exactly your life is heading. Urban life is full of chaos. Our routines are filled with plenty challenges in almost every aspect.

And while this plays on our live screen, we inadvertently search for a solution in the easiest way possible at the backstage. Solutions are not always the permanent ones, but bring some relief for time being. And everyone tries this as per their own capacity, choice, beliefs, values and obviously the circumstances. So indulging in a loud party, drinking all the worries could be someone’s decision or else talking it out with the closest person overnight for hours could be an alternative for someone. Pouring your heart in your journal or smoking it up with weed could be the answer. Meditating, joining support groups can help to find peace or simply thinking over them for hours would be the only thing possible. And then at times these issues are suppressed till such a great extent that they only raise their heads when people end up having irrational fights or when they become anxious for months, years without realizing why! Perhaps this is the worst thing out of all.

No matter what it is that bothers you, it has to come to the surface. Acceptance is the foremost important step. Such perilous times steal all our positive energy and push us to the edge. Though we never physically fall, but on emotional level we lose our grip with every passing second.

All the self-help books, therapists and our well-wishers constantly try to uplift our broken spirit with greater messages. Such affirmations sound very soothing but using them in a certain way is something that most of us aren’t aware of.

So pondering over these low periods of life, it struck me that how your own research & theories can help you a great deal. Mine taught me few lessons which I would love to share.

 This might sound odd but try to give up the thought of perfection. It’s not at all important. Acceptance, as mentioned already. Become selfish and do what feels right to your senses. Stop trying the repetitive methods of solution, try alternatives and keep changing them till you are happy. Ignore and literally avoid all that triggers or increases your problem. Make mistakes and allow yourself to make many mistakes. Talk to yourself aloud in mirror or whatever that suits you. Cry and empty your heart alone or with someone who is your favorite listener. Take a break and go back to your happy times via pictures, videos or any sorts of memories. Start afresh as if nothing ever went wrong; don’t expect it to be successful or perfect even in this attempt. Just do it to enjoy the process or to tell yourself ‘hey see, I tried’! Stop thinking over who would like it or not, you love your ways- that’s all matters. Yes, listen and consider opinions but trust only your gut. Take charge and push every intangible obstacle that underestimates you.

You might lose yourself thousand times in adversity but regaining your positive self back ten thousand times is the only way out. In fact, adversity exists to remind us of our enormous powers which we seldom explore, as usually there’s no need that arises with such a great intend. It enters to stir your soul, and to turn you into something you are meant to become.

So next time you have hardship, sit back relax and just say, ‘bring it on, I have nailed many like you before and I am prepared to drown and bounce back again with this and many like these in the future.’

Ocean of Freedom.....

 

And finally the journey begins, making its way through the woods heading towards the unknown!

 

The high mountains bring the joy of witnessing the serene nature. The rocks & high walls of greenery add to the giant feel of the surrounding. The huge rocks glued on the valleys are welcoming you if you peep outside the window. The steep turns just seem never ending, It gets better as you move ahead on your way.

 

The mother nature teaches you in so many ways you cannot even imagine of. The fearless act of every living thing instills some kind of energy in your body. It gives you a silent message of following every calling of your heart. It whispers in your ear the truth of lifetime, you were born to live free, you were born to breathe free, you were made to pursue things suited to your mood,  you were meant to follow the path directing you naturally, no inhibitions can stop you from reaching the best of yourself.

No force can limit your enthusiasm. It’s you who is the designer of this path, you can build the pathway you want to see it built. You may follow the wind, you may follow the cloud, as long as you listen to the voice of your authentic self, you have no worry of getting lost.

 

You are ready to take that leap the moment you decide you are ready! There’s no one & actually no one has any control over it but you. Every desire & each random thought has to be lived fully. ‘Getting rid of all that holds you back’, is the key to your inner self. Run & run fast behind the deep calling of your soul & don’t run behind what the external “you” is leading you towards. Because the external part of you might be practical but clueless about its own existence. Follow the route to your passion which doesn’t let you stay quiet until you live it thoroughly.

 

Wandering like this might sound crazy. Isn’t it? It is. In fact totally insane. But the thrill that doesn’t let you sleep from nights after nights has to be manifested some way. And after all, what could be the best way to express it by just simply touching the deep wishes of your heart. The inner self blesses you every time you follow its instructions, it embraces you & thank you for giving it what it really wants. And the more you ignore it or hide it under the carpet it is bruised, it is hurt & it is helpless as it cannot even express how it feels. So honor this desire & bless your soul.

 

Far away from your routine when you bring yourself to the unknown just unleash all your ties. This is the time to just let be. This is not the moment of setting any boundaries. What’s wrong & right, the do’s & don’ts aren’t so important. Dive deep into the ocean of freedom & spread your wings to fly high. There’s no today & no tomorrow & no yesterday. This is the moment filled with total zest of your entire being. Let  it take you wherever you need to be, simply listen to it & cherish being alive.  

 

 

 

The invisible pieces of Peace

47 48 49 & finally ……… 50. As I was gradually reaching the last bend of this count, I sensed some enormous satisfaction from within. The triumph wasn’t only about successfully completing the 50 stomach crunches it somehow got registered as one of the feel good factors in my mind. After the state of mental or physical achievement what remained behind was ultimate peace. And that made my evening, it really helped me to think clearly. There are some moments in your day which works as a miracle, when they occur they manifest some sort of revelation. It felt as if I had conquered some challenge which worked like a breakthrough. Even my other hidden gifts have been illuminated. Unleashing this side of you can be so alluring & it surely helps to strengthen your self-worth. And whatever guides you to connect intently to your inner self, gradually leads you to peace.  

 

Wow, all this while my belief was fixed that peace can be attained by meditation, by some sort of spiritual practices or by reading such stuff or may be joining a forum that teaches you about how to better connect with self. Now all these sources are all around us these days. And so many people find them so beneficiary. They are certainly; I don’t deny that fact, I respect them because in their own way they are helping the world to find peace.  However this workout experience made me see the never seen before. Peace isn’t something that can be found in only the ways I have known so far. Yes these ways are well known and workable, but that doesn’t mean one has to be only limited to these sources. I mean I might ask or in fact I have asked this so many times that how do you concentrate on your breathing while you mediate, as I tend to lose my focus every now and then. I have even discussed this issue with my friends who meditate on a regular basis. They gave some great suggestions according to their knowledge & experience. And I tried following it in order to learn how to meditate and then find inner peace. I am not sure how far it worked though, it surely felt nice to implement their tips.

 

Nevertheless this new discovery pushed me to think beyond the conventional concepts of finding peace. Look at us, in a life full of chaos, stress, workload, responsibilities etc. most of us find it tough to either set some time aside for activities like meditation or we are bombarded with so much information that we get confused which one should be followed!

 

Hence when this little thought struck me, I immediately decided to share it with everyone who might find it helpful. And as deeply I pondered, this finding itself brought some sort of peace to my mind.

 

So here’s what happened in my head, as I was excited about the ‘workout’ combined with ‘peace finding’ therapy it drew my attention to different activities in a day. Basically I just played my routine and tried searching if I ever had felt the same way by any other task. I had become very inquisitive to find answers to several questions popping in my head. As I went on with that mysterious notion, I couldn’t believe it but I did find a lot of similar activities like workout.

When I finish my procrastinated training project, or when I cook some innovative snacks for my loved ones, grooming my pet, watching my favorite television series, the brisk walking in the evening, reading that interesting chapter of my current novel, having a heart to heart conversation with a friend, pampering myself at home, indulging into some lip smacking delicacies, having hot chocolate at my favorite coffee shop, making that most awaited trip to some exotic destination, resting in mom’s arms, watching the sunset or the crescent moon, smoking a joint after a long time and tripping over that enigmatic state. And the list goes on and on. I am sure there are many more which I can’t even recall right now. All I want to say is these different routine experiences might carry a feeling of accomplishment, fascination, serenity, happiness, satisfaction, or excitement at first but as these moments come to an end all the above emotions get transformed into peace. Maybe all of this brings me closer to myself, the real me. And that’s why it becomes apparent that this is where I have to reach ultimately. It’s like every time I have one of these experiences I visit that inner peace in smaller pieces. These various moments show me the glimpses of that immense paradise. These beautiful elements of life have great value and hence we must make them our priority as it leads us to our best path.

 

It’s just the matter of introspecting. Once you are able to identify these precious moments of your life, it automatically solves most of the doubts in your head. You realize that everything has a reason and every incidence has a meaning. You no longer wait for someone else to solve your problem, because you realize that another person can only be there as a guide but to see that route which is meant for you is only up to you to find. Everything is connected and there’s nothing irrelevant happens in our lives. All these lessons meant to proceed towards our purpose of life. It unfolds so naturally that it’s miraculous.

 

And this is how I can certainly say that peace is scattered all around us. It can be hidden in these varied experiences. It wouldn’t occur to you so easily, but living through these moments definitely meant to direct you towards peace. As it’s so clear that at the end of it there is this inexplicable stillness which fills up your mind. It could be anything, any situation good or bad, once it’s over completely there is a long silence which is motionless. This is the real moment of peace. You no longer chase it, it’s always there,  present in front of you. Mostly we fail to realize this due to the conceptual definitions of our beliefs.

 

Nonetheless this new theory has personally helped me a lot to become calm. It might sound odd but it certainly worked. May be it wouldn’t be harmful to look at peace from this perspective. By connecting it to everything that we do, we would be getting closer to it, understand it better. And as life goes on with such instances so would peace. Hence there’s certainly no end to it, as it follows in a parallel way.

 

Here’s hoping all of us to find peace through any convenient sources feasible to us. And the invisible pieces like these are truly magnificent.
