Be Heard!-

 Conformity!!

 Words are powerful. Words changes lives; Words and Idea change the world!

What is conformity? When I heard it first time, the word sounded complex to me . Here is, google answer “ Conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms, politics or being - minded!!.Umm. still complex! Sometimes google also gives up a word where I need to go for another google tab. Well, it is not google mistake. The word is that complex.🤔😤


Here is my version of Conformity. It is nothing but to say “YES” for everything and more importantly “blindly follow” what is been told to you!  Whether it is for a good reason or for a crime! Ultimately, Reflect and Represent a group!. Here, one does not have think too much.. Follow the rule book or the person who stands in front of you..!🙅

So, is it good? Have I practiced conformity in my life? The answer is Yes!! On typical situation, esp today , on  covid lockdown period, it is better to follow the rules than being outstanding i.e being at home , wear mask and maintain social distance!!👍

Where I found this conformity is as funny as it could be or makes you to loose self -value:

Some of the typical scenario I have seen in office business meetings.😈

  • Manager says meeting at 4:30. it is 4:30..! whether you have guest or your tea time!
  • Manager says there needs a comma , yes comma is Valid! Not semicolon! Vastu problem..Huh?
  • Manager says sun rises west.. Yes sun rises west..  lol..

Well, it is so funny right? Have your voice heard!  If we keep following the rule books then there is no twist in life. if we go on that way, then RIP to innovation and creative! We may not have the great leaders like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many others. They did what they believed is right and created a history!  Is your history needs special edition or copy of others? Uhmm..before you get into deeper thought..let see one more side of conformity.. apart from being funny,it could be dangerous too..

Well, where it could be? At this moment, these are places where I can think of:  👹👿

  • Child marriage!
  • Social norms that does not respect the humanity!
  • Life style that cost your happiness!

 Where else you feel it could dangerous ? Please comment👇

The reward of conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself!!💁

Meet you in next blog!

All gold..

 As part of my job, I get to embrace a lot of gold chains/bracelets/rings /earrings, and being a woman, the temptations are real, to wear and own it. These desires grew stronger day by day, which landed me in a spot through the receptionist, where there is no camera coverage and with a deal that I have to allow her to wear it for a selfie. Well, one is taken care of, the wanting to possess at least a few did not allow me to sleep. I could not afford to buy any one of them because our peanut salary gets invisible into the endless loan, education fees, and all the bills. I did not want to become a gold thief, hence for now decided to sleep over the thought.  Days flew fast as the gossip on my Instagram jewel post. Few thought I won the lottery and interestingly, few assumed that my husband is getting black money in his IT job. Whatever the gossips where, but it made me feel like a celebrity in my neighborhood.  All the unknown faces become known. I got to choose the vegetab...

Impartiality.

  Today  Mythili, “get ready soon. We are late!”. “Why in such a hurry? We have good 30 mins to catch the bus. To be specific, I do not want to wait at the bus stand. The bus stand, that has taken my son’s life. I know something happened there and no one wants to share with me anything”. She sits on the sofa, not wanting to cry but still her tears reveal the pain that she is going through for the last 5 years. Guilty and feeling helpless! Sigh! I am hoping from today the days are going to be better. Suddenly the wreath falls from his photo, acknowledging my hope. His smile and that innocence,  at least once, I want to ask him,  "Am I not a good father?" 5 days back: After my son killed himself, Mythili lost herself in a different world. She stopped sleeping and eating. During those days, my situation was the same as hers. I could not do anything much to take care of her. Once I moved to the office, I managed to divert the pain, but she locked herself in a room and wa...
