SoulfulUnsobriety

Life is not for a day or two, at least not for the billions and zillions of us! Life is not just made up of one single ingredient; it has a little bit of everything. From happiness, to sadness, from victory to defeat, from tears of joy to tears of sorrow, it has to have everything, only then it can be entitled as LIFE! I believe, sometimes, it is okay to not be okay. It is okay, to not have won a prize you were expecting. It is okay to not get married to the person you were deeply in love with. It is okay to lose something. It is okay to opt for an easy path. It is okay to eat a calorie-rich food when on diet, once a while, or cheat in on gym for that matter. Life cannot be planned. If it is planned, then it's not life! Once in a while we come across someone, who we love utterly, whose happiness matter to us the most, who even though they hurt us, we smile and keep loving them more! Maybe he/she won’t love us back. Maybe they will. But I guess it is okay! You won’t hav...

It’s the birthday of someone special person. This post is for you, like my previous one and the one after this, and many more! The co-author & co-owner o this blog - Celesta Mathew !! Very less than often, we meet someone, who is so lovable, so crazy and so understanding. Who stands through thick and thin, who makes time even when they don't have time! Who being 6 years younger than you, gives you inspiration. Inspiration to live, to love, to write, to be as you are, to be one hell crazy person and to take life as it comes. I met one such person, 3 years ago, on Instagram. Yes, you read it right. On Instagram! When I first saw her Instagram profile, it was @cbabylovesall and the 1st thought came to my mind was who the hell is this girl? Some weirdo, maybe! Who knew, this weirdo would later become an inseparable part of my life! We started texting through DM, and in no time we talked like we knew each other for ages! We tagged, we talked. We tagge...

A t around 2 am, I received a text from her, asking, “How do you distance yourself from someone?” Without even thinking about it for a moment, I replied, “It’s all in the brain I would say. If you want to distance from someone, you just stop thinking about it! If you still think about it, then think of the good memories. And that's it.” “What if there are unresolved issues?” she asked. “You can’t resolve everything”, I told her, “There is a thing I have learnt and I am trying to follow it too. It’s difficult, but not impossible. Let go! Some people, some things, some opportunities, and some memories!” “What is they’ve done things to you that hurt you the most because of your past? How to let go of that pain?”, she asked. “Think, that everything that happens, happens for some reason. Don’t think of it as pain. Think of it as if you got a problem, fine; now let me make sure I don’t let it happen, again”, I said. She might be in tears, by now, I felt it, when she tex...

Chapter 3: Shankara's Secret Shiva reflects back all things material. He holds on to nothing. To him, everything is as ephemeral  as camphor. That is why he is called Karpura Gauranga , he who is as white as camphor. The goddess stands in opposition of Shiva as both the radiant Gauri, producing light, and as the dark Kali, consuming light. While Shiva sits still in the north, she comes forth swaying from the south as Dakshina-Kali, demanding to be seen.  The goddess is naked with her hair untied and drinks blood. Her nakedness is an invitation to sex, hence childbirth and life. Her lust for blood is her acceptance of death. She is born life and death. Her unbound hair is a reminder that she is wild and raw. She is Shakti, energy, constantly on the move. He, on the other hand, is still the hooded cobra. He shuts his eyes to her. Determined to get Pashu-pati to help humans, Shakti dances on top of him. She hopes to transform Shiva, the insensitive God, i...
