Oh Come On, Everybody Does It!
You talk behind their backs all day, but in front, you smile and sway. Why do you act, why pretend? “Everybody does it! That’s the way”.
Water flows, you let it waste. Don’t you see the damage it causes? Why ignore it, why don't you care? "Oh come on, everybody does it! It’s just everywhere”.
“You have your period? Sit outside today, while others pray to some metal and clay. What? Come on, everybody does it! Who am I to disobey!?"
You grumble at work, say it’s unfair, but never speak when the time is there. Why do you stay quiet, why not fight? "Oh come on, everybody does it!" - but is that right?
Plastic trash, you throw away. Animals suffer every day. Why not stop, why have no heart? "Oh come on, everybody does it! - anyway, that's not my part”.
She did wrong to me. Why didn’t you say it? Why did you just hide and look away? Yes, it might have caused some strife, but at least we would have cleared the uncomfortable vibe. "Oh come on, everybody does it, and why me? I didn't want to pay the price."
Just because it’s common, does that make it right? Where is your mind, your senses, your sight ? They say-

psst..do keep a watch when the “M” goes missing too!

I hear the cry when I am not in the same room when you open your eyes. I roll my eyes , dropping whatever I was doing. Here comes the first in the series of commands for the day. I see you rubbing your eyes, asking if you have to go to school, and the look of sheer sadness that f...
Why doesn’t people talk to each other more
Yesterday had a long talk with the husband on what his current projects are. A bunch of information was shared which made me excited about the IT future in general. The work maybe boring and daunting but the future prospects gives hope. Maybe I was always drawn to new tech. But d...
Identity
In the rabbit hole of food related videos, some of the most fascinating ones I watched are about butchering a whole animal.
My Happy Place
A lot of friends ask me. Some wonder secretly. Why do I build random stuff? The answer is simple. It makes me happy.I have benefited immensely from the stuff I have built. Personal satisfaction has been the biggest benefit. But when you have stuff to show, it also becomes ...
Sally up, Sally down
My memory of this song is inextricably intertwined with the movie“Gone in 60 seconds”. I just recently heard this song during a workout session and it triggered a response strong enough for me to listen to this song for 2 days straight (still playing..) and read its lyrics....
