Lipstick under Burkha



The phrase "lipstick under burkha" shows how women in strict societies hide their true feelings and dreams. At first, it meant hiding one's desires, but now it represents female empowerment and rebellion 
against rules. It highlights the difference between how women act in public versus how they feel wish to be from inside. It's more like their wish and not societal pressure. But doing it publically may cause serious challenges. Today, it stands for freedom, self-expression, and the fight for women's rights, showing that many women want to live authentically despite societal pressures. This change reflects a growing understanding of women's identities in different cultures and their wish. Force over wish should be absolutely zero  in my opinion.

"The value of Presence"

Image
*'The Value of Presence'* Once upon a time, a father was deep in thought, consumed by worries about his status and the need to acquire material possessions. His young son, eager for his father's attention, tried repeatedly to engage him, but the father remained lost in his concerns. Finally, the child shook his father gently and asked, "Why are you so serious and sad?" The father set aside his papers and replied, "I'm planning to buy a car to maintain our status." After a while, the son returned with a different approach. "Dad, come to my room and lie down on the floor. Look at the ceiling—see how high your status is now? You don't need to work so hard for it." With a smile, the boy continued, "Instead of a car, I gave away everything I had from my box, my all cars, to show my love and happiness for you. Will you pay attention to me now?" The father realized that true wealth lies not in possessions but in the momen...

Dronacharya

One Question for You, My Viewers: How Would Eklavya's Story Unfold in 2026? Imagine this: It's 2026, and Eklavya is scrolling Instagram late at night. He stumbles on a reel of Guru Dronacharya—yes, that legendary guru—training disciples in a high-tech gym in Indore. Archery? Nah, this is modern mastery: strength training, endurance drills, and mindset coaching for life's toughest climbs. Eklavya, a devoted soul from Bhopal, fires off a DM: "Guru ji, I need your guidance!" But travel costs? Sky-high. Fees? Out of reach. "Sorry, beta," Drona replies politely. "My ashram is here in Indore—come join us."Heartbroken but undeterred, Eklavya pleads over messages. He's no ordinary seeker. His dream? The sacred Kailash Mansarovar Yatra this year—a pilgrimage to Lord Shiva's abode. But three massive hurdles stand in his way: No guide: Who'll train a total beginner? Breaking investments: Fees demand dipping into his hard-earned savings. Zero e...

Real game v/s childhood game

Image
Our great grant ancestors have designed games, activities for children in such a way that it becomes first hand experience, safe, playful activity for kiddos. But when it becomes real challenge or game of life, we don't have patience to wait and be graceful enough  to the challenge. This is the only game in childhood, when does the game reach such a level that the wheels we play with, becomes a maze of the life. Where patience, time giving, concentration, ample of opportunities and failures becomes bridges to learn and overcome the version you are to the better one. Everyone likes to play with wheels when they are young but when this wheel becomes a responsibility... (चक्रव्यूह) then the same wheels have to be pushed forward with vigor and enthusiasm. Positivity and upgrading oneself at each point brings humbleness in oneself.
