Deception point

It’s true that you must not judge a book by it's cover or a man(/woman) by his face. But it is not always what it looks like either. Sure we all know this! For a moment, though it sounds pixilated, it’s important for you to penetrate through the muscular veneers. Ignore the sparkling jewel. Quite paradoxical it is, like the many other things in life, but it’s never too late to learn if you do not want to be walked all over! It’s better than being sorry later, isn’t it?

Talk about being nice!

I have learnt to smile and keep mum. Have learnt new ways to react to the flat and flavourless word "nice"! "Everything" and "everyone" is nice in this world. The quote line is "It's not about you, it's about other people".

It wouldn't be right on my part if I do not confess here that I am tired of being "nice" as good, or rather, "nice" it feels to be "nice" (pun intended)! As tempting as it might be, I am not here to whine. It sure takes away the glitter and glamour of the very face you are trying to put up. All of us wear a mask. Every mask has a different shade. We parade with paper faces and crumble and trash it at the end of the day. Look around and there is another face, I mean, "mask" around you. Let's give in a few exceptions as does every rule! But then, hide your face and the world will never find you. This world is like an entertainment industry with its sordid gains and vantage points. I surely have profited from it as much as I have given to it. Whining about it rather would be hypocritical. But wonder if this is how I want it to be or rather I want to be?!

Open up – espresso yourself!

A quick break. Moments you wanna cherish with someone. A chance to relax and reflect. A rainy day. Some such moments and more are incomplete without a rich, dark hot cup of coffee. The modern world is full of coffee moments….. Coffee wakes us up, perks us up and brings a clarity to our senses. It gets us moving and ready to face the tasks ahead. Coffee is a celebrated grandeur in itself. The taste and aroma of coffee just opens you up as does the song by Nescafe. An amazingly refreshing song. Beautifully picturised. Wonderfully sung by Aguilar Shunza. Check out the music video. It’s class apart! And the lyrics, so insightful and immensely meaningful. I being an avid coffee drinker, this is one of my favourite ads. Truly a spirited and an inspring melody.



You can be rich
With no money to spend,
You can do everything
When you understand…


You can be mother
When you are a man,
Open up…
You know that you can…


Open your eyes
Open your mind
Open your thoughts
Don't stay behind…
Open up, open up…


The key is inside you
To open your mind,
You know what is out there
Your heart can't be blind…


Open your eyes
And open your mind
Open your thoughts
Don't stay behind…
Open up, open up…


Erase all the borders
And start in your head.
Open your mind
To thoughts seldom said…


Open your eyes
And open your mind
Open your thoughts
Don't stay behind…
Open up, open up…

It's time people open up... to their hearts!
