Think about it...


An amazing week just passed by lot of fun, cute lions, loads of sea animals, a hell of an experience, and also the sad side effects, a harsh and annoying tan... but midst the packing and unpacking I found a piece of paper from one of my old books...
I don’t remember the exact time or date but do remember writing it, I remember it was  in the 10th or the 11th standard, after a long talk with mom, I went to my room and thought and thought and then wrote these lines…
So here goes (a blast from the past! :P)… 


Who are you?
Who are you? Or who am I? Or who is anyone around here? The normal answer anyone would ever get to this question is:
The Name... you would say I am Yesha or Tina or Pooja or Arjun or whatever...  what is the name? It’s just a tag you have got, given by your parent or anyone around you so that you respond to a particular voice.... So there is a word you as call as yourself... I respond to the word Yesha... cause it’s a tag I was given when I was born but then again it’s just a tag... it’s not the answer to who I am. Is it??
Or If not the name you would respond saying... I am Indian or I am Hindu or I am a girl... what are all these?? Citizenship, religion, caste, gender... that’s it that is who I am or you are or any one is??? Again all these are just tags given by mankind to separate one from another... just because I am born in a particular place or raised by parents having a particular religion tag or because I have different genital organs than half the mankind does not make me who I am. Does it?
Of course not... who I am does not depend on a tag given to me or the piece of land I was born in or some faith I or my family believes in! No that’s not me or you or anyone... we need to break these barriers of tagging... we are who we want to be who or what we make of ourselves... who I am depends on my deeds.. My action... and not on the actions I am planning to do tomorrow... even my past or future cannot tell who I am.. Who I am can only be defined by what I am doing at this very second, what I am thinking... that is who I am... only that nothing else. No labels, no pasts no future only me and my present thought process that is who I am or who you are. That's me and only 'that' is me!!!!!


Surprised eh? So was I when I read this after such a long time,
but then again that’s just me! :P

Love Always
Signing off
just me
