The other day, I was going through an interview when this thought struck me ,are Lies & Storytelling the same ?We lie to hide the truth from others, we lie because we cannot admit the truth ,We lie because we fear speaking out the truth as it will leave us alone,we might be hurting somebody if we speak up the truth .Ok that’s lying then what’s storytelling ? Storytelling is the power of telling stories that must have happened ,A piece of News that you have heard and you narrate it in a little dramatic way to get the attention of the listener .But Now if you actually see there is a thin line of a difference amongst the two in both forms we Lie to defend ourself even though we know we are wrong,guilty of taking the wrong side ,but again it might seem wrong to you ,but it might be the right thing for the speaker .At the same time stories we tell to entertain ,to make our imaginations run wild to impress how good we are at speaking ,Stories transform us to a magical place to a make believe world for us it might be dreaming while others laugh and say he is living with such a big lie.But for us its a fantasy a world that we create for ourself to be happy and defining the reality in others terms the truth that we know ,,but imagination is a lie for others ,but we are living by being hopeful for things to turnaround .

Is Love a sin?
Love, we are always very shy of admitting that we are in love, especially since we feel love is a crime. How can romance be a crime, a felony, a mistake. Romance is the most beautiful relationship that one can have on earth besides that of a mother and a child.
But strangely when romance is discussed within family and friends it almost becomes like a sin.
The big question that comes across between families are what does he do? Where is he from ? Are you mad to fall in love?
And then if love turns into a love marriage proposal then it is not love but war.
Where is the boy or the girl from, how much does he earn? How much is she educated? Where will they stay after marriage? How will they survive? How long will they remain in love? Will the marriage survive the differences in terms of class, or caste?
All I am saying is that if the reason behind the big decision is love, and the decision is between two partners who are going to live their lives together then who are we to be so judgmental?
Have we ever found true love?
Do we really understand love?
Do we practice compassion?
Are we matured enough to judge other’s love and romance?
If we worry about so many reasons in life can we be really happy?
Are we at peace?
Will we able to love anybody ever truly, if we are so anti-love ?
Ultimately the decision of being together for lovers should be left to them. If they are legal adults, they understand the consequences of romance and love marriage. At the end of the day they could be as wrong or as right as we are in our life if we look at it form a larger perspective… Are we perfect, have we lead the perfect life… So let love chill!

Love is in the air!
Love is the common factor that can bind us yet we so often take for granted.
We live in a world where we differentiate so much amongst people. Right from the colour to the appearance and to their social status that we forgot that the most important aspect of judging a person is how he or she as a person makes us feel in their presence. They maynot be good spokespersons or savvy conversationalists but their positivity rubs on us and we feel attracted to them in silence. Simply their presence makes us feel happy and proud of being around. Their calmness is contagious like the serenity of a lake. We can spend hours around them without being distracted or bored. Perhaps it’s the love that connects.
On the other hand most of the times we get too judgmental about people. We want them to behave in a particular way and be of a particular status or personality. This is when we miss the essence of love. The essence of love is to just be. The rest is all waste of time and idleness of the mind. The mind having nothing better to do misses out on the moment and tries to act like a big bully. It tells us what to do instead of how to feel. It takes us away from the real essence of being to rather the meaningless pursuit of what is unimportant in the larger scheme of things. So to love and feel the love of others is more soothing than the best of wine that you have ever had.
