The Assorted Affairs

WHAT IS WRONG IF WE CHANGE OURSELVES??? -SUKANYA SINGH The world is full of opportunities still. Do you believe everything can be fixed once again and we all could live with peace and harmony? Yes??? Well if you believe then you are halfway there already. Come on! Let us all strive for a better place for a land of love, understanding, no wars, no violence just love, colours, smiles, and positive vibes. We all know clearly that the world is sinking day by day. People are facing major difficulties. It has become hard for all of us to carry our responsibilities, duties in a proper way. The smooth functioning of life has turned out as ‘Rough operations’. Complaints and loads of harsh statements are flowing from all four directions. Rumours regarding the diverse religions, their people, culture, dress sense are being flooded with by some ‘social-culprits’. Small children are being put into work still, minor girls, even toddlers, and month’s old babies are being raped, killed, an...

-Sukanya Singh The advent of social media has led a huge impact on the lives of people. It is a widely accepted form of media in the world today, because of its innumerable merits. It is seen that more than half of the population of the world spends most of their time with the social media platforms like – YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Whatsapp, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc. Social media not only connects people from different nook and corners of the world, it also aims in sharing information, education and entertainment instantly, without a delay. It is that form of media where every single person bearing an internet connection can exchange words, pictures, videos and what not? We are all familiar with this type of media much more than the traditional, print and the electronic ones such as – Street acts, puppetry shows, the newspapers, magazines, television, radio, etc. Now days we get to enjoy these forms of media in the social media itself. We use to get the online newspa...

-Sukanya Singh A ‘good health’ specifies a ‘calm and composed mind’. A calm and composed mind is the ‘gateway’ to your ‘successes’.  The universal truth with which we are all aware about is that, earlier, there was absence of technology. That era witnessed people maintaining its health and wellness all by the ‘manual means’. By so, it is referred to the process, how mankind practiced the physical and mental exercises such as meditation, yoga, jogging etc, absolutely without any kind of machines; any kind of technology.  World today can give us chapter and verse on various technologies. It is all about ‘a tap of a button’.  A small device like a smart phone can operate almost more than half of our day to day tasks within seconds. Right from waking up early in the morning with the help of alarm clock, jog one’s memory to drink water after every particular interval of time, from maintaining diets to reminding someone of one’s birthday, anniversary, graduation day and what no...

-Sukanya Singh We often complain of us being misbehaved by people. We recollect them at some point of time and feel very sad, we cry and sometimes we break down. Let us not forget that there are some sections of people in our society who always face and struggle with such humiliations, criticism, insults and what not.  These individuals are not the ones who have come from another planet, but from the human wombs of our mother earth itself. Most commonly we called them ‘Transgender’ or to an official statement ‘Third Gender’. These individuals are most probably the most affected people in the world who have sacrificed their life, compromised most of their wishes, desires, family and friends, in order to dwell and feed their stomach, in a diversified society of a country like India. Here are some such individuals who not only made up their mind to live life fully but also to make people of their common identity a worth living. Some of these special gifts of god are blesse...

-Sukanya Singh People are becoming very busy day by day. They hardly get time to take a deep breathe even. They are running after work, running after money and the cycle is continuing. In the 21st century, people are getting a very less or little time to spend with their families, friends and loved ones. ‘Quality time spending’ and a ‘Hello’ have become very challenging these days. In this process, people are becoming unaware about the fact that they are becoming mentally unstable, physically weak and socially inactive. This is appearing as a real threat to everyone. We would like to introduce a special therapy in today’s story which will help you a lot to release your nerves and provide you the opportunity to chill...just chill and enjoy your life!  “A Vacation is what you take when you no longer take what you have been taking.”-Earl Wilson Yes! The therapy is none other than the ‘Vacation Therapy’. Now you may ask how it helps. Let me ask you something. How did you fe...

-Sukanya Singh In one of my early stories ‘Must read on Self-Publicist’, I have defined about certain sections of people in the society who are totally dependent on the resources which they inherit from their ancestors or family and showcases them before people mostly in a negative way; delivering unwanted vibes among the rest. They do not create or even wish to create or earn the varied assets by their own such as- a house, a vehicle etc. Their so called ‘Dad’s money’ is the only element for them to show off and nothing out of their own. Today’s story has some twisted perspectives added which some people take into their account and go ahead before the society to describe the word ‘Royalty’. It is not something new for all of us that everyone in a society is different from the other. We witness different choice, interest, wish, passion and many other aspects of human endeavour. The term ‘Royalty’ which some sections of the people take it in some other way, has a deeper mean...

-Sukanya Singh ‘Love’ is the purest form of sensation. It is very fragile and should be handled with utmost care and responsibility, in order to fulfill the true meaning of it. It is said and believed that the divine being has made someone or the other for each one of us. It has already been decided in the heaven. No one knows how, when and where we would meet each other but it happens or it will happen! It feels heavenly when we are into someone, or get attached to our partners in our life. It is the best feeling in the world that most of you have experienced already! It is the colourful form of joy and happiness and something that puts somebody in a different arena of their lives, away from the general life. The same relationship or the feelings deteriorate when one or the other could not cope with one another. It becomes very hard to take such situations and grief. All that you achieve is sadness, tears, heart ache and insecurities all around. You feel like the one total...

-Sukanya Singh Society is upgrading, people are modernised, new ideas are explored with creative skills, and technological convergence are making people closer day by day and establishing them with wide principles of variant theories. Materialistic developments are at a great pace in today’s world. But the inner engineering of a human mind and their thought processes still needs to improve. I was on the way to college, I heard a lady talking to another lady that “... she is getting married with a Bengali Boy. How will she survive there?” I observed carefully and can make out that their expressions were very much unwanted. It is this small juncture of words of that lady that forced me to research on the ‘intercaste marriages’ for are they really so harmful for the people of the society?  Lord Krishna in the sacred book ‘Gita’ also encourages the intercaste marriages. He says “the practice of caste discrimination is manmade and those who follow it are termed as ‘unmanly’....

-Sukanya Singh It’s been very long I wanted to talk about the matters of concern of the society. This story solely reflects my personal experience. I am sharing some of them here along with my point of view. ‘Parenthood’ is a huge responsibility. It is not at all easy to perform. Introducing a little one to the world and bringing them up with the basic needs, is not the main aspect but how you raise them is something to be given importance to. Are you performing your duties towards your children correctly? Are you making them grow with a peaceful and creative mind?  The first kind of problem which I want to share is ‘The fight between parents in front of their children’. This is a very important topic on which the parents should give importance to. I remember clearly a small girl from Guwahati, poured out,” My mom and dad use to quarrel always. The situation gets worse when he beats up my mom. I am afraid of him. I fear speaking to him.” Such incidents put a very negati...

-Sukanya Singh Sometimes, we meet certain people in our life, who sacrifice most of their time and energy for us. They are not our family, relatives or friends. These are those individuals, who do almost everything for us, like our family members. Sometimes, we do not grow with our parents and siblings or relatives and friends only, but also with ‘them’, who plays a very important role in our lives, by extending their helping hands towards us. Most of our families have them. We take help from them for every single little aspect, right from washing the utensils to washing the clothes, cars, cleaning the house, gardening, cooking, ironing, marketing and many more. The ones about who are we talking about are generally termed as ‘servant’.  Most of us have already experienced that these helping souls play numerous roles to satisfy and fulfill our needs. We are very lucky that we stay with our parents, siblings together. But these are those poor fellows who for the sake of e...

-Sukanya Singh The early days were raw and beautiful as well, even if the technology was missing. The early days were very simple. People had no any complexities in comparison to today’s members of the society. The world was green. Bird chirping was louder than human voice, fresh river water could be found, fresh air could be inhaled, people were real without fake masks, they maintained some form of decency, disciplined life, respected and valued mother earth, helped each other, appreciated one another and most importantly they carried the legacy of reviving the humanity in every prospect Coming to the 21st century, human voice is reducing the nature’s voice. The rivers are big huge drains now days, polluted air, polluted soil, one’s real face and soul could not be identified as they are hidden behind the fake masks, absence of decency, not at all disciplined, hurry, rush, helping each other is very far, time for one self is difficult, appreciations are absent, jealousness ...

  Whom should you compete with?     -Sukanya Singh What is ‘competition’? It is a situation where one tries to be more successful than the rest and win in whatever and wherever they participate or engage. A competition is very necessary to boost, encourage, motivate, and determine oneself along with others. The world without this situation would not have been able to call in developments or the changes in each and every aspect present on the planet. Do you think people are defining the term ‘competition’ in a genuine way these days? In the name of competition, do you think people are bringing in changes which are helpful to them and the society? ‘To compete’ is human nature. Let us see certain situations which people created in the society in the name of competition. Trust me, these are really very funny!!! Hahaha... ·          Now a days we see if someone buy a new car, there are some people in the society who try to beat t...

      Body shaming: Good? Or Bad?     -Sukanya Singh What do you think, are we schooled enough??? Even though we have certain level of degree certificates in our hands??? Are we worth a five star??? Let’s take a deep look of what this piece consists of.   ‘Communication’ as we all know, plays a cardinal role in our lives every day. It is like the daily supplement as our food, shelter and other day to day survival necessities. Communication is the exchange of words, varied genres of emotions and feelings with one another along different ways. But now-a-days most of us revolve around certain interaction pattern where one intentionally hurts one and other gets agonized at the same time.   Communication, the art of expression...   Yes, ‘BODY-SHAMING’. This particular refers to making or delivering critical and extremely lacerating comments about someone’s body shape, size, height, complexio...
