Sushi Speaks

It's been really long since I published something here. I wasn't that busy but was searching for ideas to share something meaningful. In the last 2 months, I took up a part-time job at a bakery in a hospital. I was put on the line on the back where I had to make sandwiches, salads, and wraps for the customers. Many people back off when they are assigned that duty. But I really liked it.  There are a few reasons why I liked it and wanted to share them. Food is something that is right at the top in anybody's life. It is like the most basic necessity for any living organism. How do you feel when you are done with a really long day of work and you go out to grab some food and you get some extra food than you asked for? It makes my mood happy seeing that extra food. ALWAYS! There is a different kind of satisfaction when you see someone smile seeing good food at the end of the day. And that satisfaction gets elevated when you are the one making that food. Ain...

Shadows As a kid, if there was a power outage in my house, the whole household used to gather around one lit candle, and I remember playing with the candle flame and making different kinds of shapes with hands to see how the shadows are cast on a wall. I am sure every one of us might have done this in our childhood.  img source This was all fun until you had to study these phenomena in physics in high school. A shadow as defined scientifically is " a dark area or shape produced by a body coming in between rays of light and a surface". It is a simple everyday phenomenon that we observe.  A few days back, I was watching some comedy programme in which a guys shadow comes alive and gets him into trouble. It was a stupid comedy. But that got me thinking about shadows in a different way. It has been quite a while that I wrote something from my thoughts and this started feeling like something I could relate to things that happen to us in life.  The ...

Feelings!! I came across this question when I was going through Quora recently. How do I mask my depression so it does not effect my day-to-day life? And this got me thinking. Is this even a valid question? While I came across this question, I also happen to watch a video on FALSE POSITIVITY in one of the Ted talks. I will attach the link to the video at the end of this post. But the video talks about how we judge some of the emotions as bad. So I replied to the question above as follows,  Why do you want to mask something that is a natural feeling? Why does the world see anger, depression, unhappiness etc as all bad? Aren’t they with us from the time of birth? If you are feeling depressed. Be so. Why do you want to show something other than what you feel? Would you mask your hunger to stop affecting your day to day life? All these so called negative feelings are part of life. There maybe a day you stop being depressed. Let everything flow naturally. It isn’t a no...

Memories Hello everyone. Thank you once again for staying tuned to my blog. Your views inspire me to write more and more. I am not a frequent traveller. But whenever I travel, my destination is always home. No matter how far you go, how far you live, your home city is always the best. No place is better than your home city. My home city, Hyderabad. I can travel here just to have chai all day. I always wanted to try out the new places that serve different types of tea.  I'm right now in a coffee shop that is called Chit Chat Chai, trying out their different teas. What else can be a good place to spend an afternoon to sit down and put down my thoughts.  When you are alone sipping some chai, sometimes memories run back to you. Maybe the place, maybe the food, maybe the ambience, maybe someone else beside you discussing something, maybe the bus you see outside the window that you used to travel in, all these can get back some sweet memories that ...
