5 beautiful Rumi quotes

Ever watched an Imtiaz Ali movie? Rockstar? Love aaj Kal? Or maybe tamasha?Then you would probably know who Rumi is. The beginning of an Imtiaz Ali movie is often a Rumi quote. I recently went to watch Love Aaj Kal 2 ( don't judge :/ ) and again it began with a Rumi quote "The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you" 
Every word written by Rumi feels beautiful in every way , so I curated a list of five of my favourites.

1. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open ?
2. I am a spark from the infinite.

3. Out beyond the ideas of right and wrong , there is a field. I'll meet you there.

4. While the mind sees only boundaries, love sees the secret way there.
5. Love is not an emotion , it is your very existence.

From one metro station to another

Image
My metro card lies in one corner of my messy almirah , it hasn't travelled for days. I definitely miss the frequent trips to Nehru Place , McDonald's and dilli ke momos and random trips around the city with my college friends.  Now , we have been quarantined for so long that mental health is not even a thing anymore. Desperately waiting for everything to be normal again. Check out my YouTube Channel-  https://youtu.be/KcQIg33h4wE

MAHABHARAT - a result of impulsive actions of the female characters

Image
Mahabharata has seen ferocious female characters right from Ganga to Gandhari ; Hidimba to Ahilawati ; Kunti to Draupadi. The characters knew how to make their voice count , had numerous vardaans and some were just mystical beings. However, the Mahabharata war ( originally known as the Jaya war ) can be loosely considered a consequence of the impulsiveness of these female characters. Starting from Satyavati , the second wife of Shantanu ( the father of Bhishma Pitamah) - Satyavati was a daughter of a fishermen. Although , she loved Shantanu she was insecure about the future of her children ( who hadn't taken birth till now). She wanted her sons to sit on the throne but this desire of hers was threatened by Bhishma or Devratt , as he was known in his earlier days. To save his father's love and to make her step mother feel secure , Devratt vowed to stay a slave to the throne of Hastinapur , never become the king and observe celibacy. Though, Satyavati was sat

7 years of YJHD

Image
Yeh Jawani hai deewani or YJHD is the "dil chahta hai " for 2000s kids.  Jaise kabhi Goa ka plan successful nhi hua , waise hi Manali ka bhi nhi hoega. Plus , yeh coronaaaaa. When Bunny said ,  "Mai udna chahta hu , daudna chahta hu , girna bhi chahta hun bas rukna nhi chahta." Accept it or not we all felt that. We have all had that crazy gang - the nerd, the vagabond , the guy who is ALWAYS up for fun and the crazy tomboyish sii ladki and at the end of the day that's all we got. That's all we will take away with us - MEMORIES. And when Naina said - " Yadein mithai ki dabbe ki tarah hoti hai , ek baar khula toh sirf ek tukda nhi kha paoge."  She is right.  Memories hi toh hoti hai that keep us going. The happiness we get after opening an old album , going through those moments again is amazing. Plus , kahin pahuchne ke liye kahi se nikalna toh padhega. One fine ( or maybe not so fine day) we will leave our school friends be
