Threading the needle of Pain


It’s a weird thought, how many of us would actually like to connect with people through their “pain”.

Emotions are something that we humans are sensitive and possessive.

Pain considered being a negative emotion, all sensible humans tend to connect with the sufferer in the notion of making them feel better but at the end it’s to just self comfort their own emotional sensitivities than to that of the sufferers. When in pain actually all those comforting phrases and the sympathetic looks will not help the person but on contrary it would make him/her in pain more defensive and repulsive, as most of the time we are overwhelmed by the emotions of pain rather than the cause of the pain.

“Selective connectivity with Pain”, it’s a fact that we don’t want to connect with everyone in pain, I guess the world would have been a better place then. It’s the self shield of ignorance that we have created to protect our happiness. So do we connect to people in pain for our gains in the pretext of forming a common ground of emotional understanding? It’s hard to believe a person when they tell you they understand “how you feel”.

Will time heal the pain in you? I understand it does not! “Time” would only distract you from the past but we will always remember what we surpassed especially in difficult times and that’s why we tend to grow emotionally stronger with suffering .I believe the universe around you would never give you the pain which is beyond your existence. So do not find an easy way out to thread the needle of pain in life…the effort of living through the pain is worth it!

Sex, Me and the World

This three letter word of curiosity which would pop up everyone’s eye and alert the ear of all gender. I often wonder what is that ingredient present in it that can stimulate a person more than caffeine in the coffee.

To define sex is quite close to impossible, as I cannot just limit it to the mere pleasure created by physical energy but its much more beyond that, Sex not only defines an individual in this world, it also gives genitival features and attributes associated with it to the individual. To add on, the world around us tries to define the individuals sex the way the world wants it to be looked upon. Today well agreed by the elders of the society that sex has become a commodity, money valued commodity! The advertising world or the entertainment world would proudly agree to the fact “sex sells more than anything else”
As we all know through sex an individual can connect well to another entity.

So where does sex leads us to, its often referred to as a symbol of strength, love, it makes a statement at times, for the sexologist its keen ingredient that can keep the couple happy in martial life, at times its used as a weapon of oppressing and humiliation, Sex has gone far beyond to create an industry today where women and men equally are exploited…and so on..

To me I feel it’s an “Expression”, an expression of one’s individuality, an expression through which an individual inherits and moulds himself around it, an expression through which he makes his presence felt in the society, an expression by which he creates a new generation.


In today’s existence when we protest for the freedom of expression in our society and else where in the world, the thought surpasses my mind was it by Choice, Influence or by Force that I chose my Expression’s. In the present world where till to date parents are apprehensive to talk on this subject, same as to other institutions let it be religious or educational.Sex now being a negative word to be looked upon .I ask the world where does this “Expression” takes itself …? Doesn’t it deserve a better acknowledgement than limiting itself to be associated to just physical behavior..?
