10 Signs of an "Emotionally Intense Person"

On many occasions , I have stumbled upon many different narratives , from writers belonging to a multitude of backgrounds on discovering the type of person you are . I have concluded that there is a rare and diminishing tribe of people called the "Emotionally Intense People " Who are they , how do you know them , identify with them, do you connect with them . Today's blog is a simple checklist that I have created , these are some percolated thoughts on this topic. I am clearly an "Emotionally Intense Person" and that's why some examples may have an very "Indian" context however I am sure such people exist globally . The checklist is in no specific order . We "breathe" everything : Emotionally Intense People don't zoom past anything without breathing it in, people , places, weather, music , aroma, food and even characters in movies . They will connect with everything around them. We "feel universe and divinity"...

Series of Freudian Slips

This is my Blog Post number 163, but just the second and the last one for this year. When I started blogging, I couldn't place my finger on what I wanted to write and why. I just wanted to write ...that's it. About Life, my experiences, the music I listen to, The poetry I read, The ghazals I live with. It started in 2009 but somehow could preserve posts only after 2011. Anyway, today's blog is about the Freudian slips in this year and thoughts which have been bubbling in my head. The one reason I didn't write many blogs this year also is "Fursat". I started this Poetry session last year and it did give me a very different perspective into the poetry I read and write. I did write quite a bit of poetry this year. A lot of my Freudian slips did find their eventual outlet in those ill rhymed couplets. Blogs, do however have their own charm. I try and weave my thoughts with some poetry and one song. As I do every night, I feed my ears ghazals ...

Sojourn of Self Renewal

This wasn't planned to be just a year-ending diary note on the calendar year 2023, it wasn't planned at all. 2023 was very unlike other years, the closest relatable year being the year 2000. So quick glance at what happened in the year 2000 first. I decided to return to India for good after having lived in Australia for 5 years, I had paused physically, emotionally, socially, financially, and intellectually. Similar things happened in 2023, but the year 2000 was a game changer for me, I hope the later part of the year is pointing to a changing game, hopefully for the last time in life. Today's blog is about what I did and learned or reflected upon in 2023, like a summary of takeaways from 2023. In summary, 2023 was a year of "pause" So here are my notes from my almanac of self-renewal. #1 - We don't truly understand the "Why" of life, we focus on the "How" of life? Humans are just what they are programmed to be, a producer and a consumer, ...

Semi Sachha Soul

I started writing this blog 12 years ago and found time and content for a few years regularly. I posted my last blog on December 30th last year and this one took one long year to graduate from sticky notes, Voice notes to myself, and the few WhatsApp chats I send to myself. Today's blog is about five intrusive and persistent compulsive thoughts, They are a concoction of the key takeaways of this 3 year-long journey of self-introspection and my obsession with being vocally self-critical. All of us at some stage of life say "I wish I had known this sooner", writing down all this in my blog often serves me as an "Emotional Almanac" but for a few folks who follow my writings, it could trigger the same thought. All lanes of thought are not clearly segregated, they are in their natural flow, just like traffic in India :) Yutori - Learn to find "Fursat" One of the key things I learned in the last three years is that I wish I had discovered the Science and...

Future Indefinite Tense

Sometimes a few thoughts , a few incidents and/or observations which trigger a blogpost but sometimes I stumble upon a piece of poetry , which triggers a multitude of thoughts . Today's short post is about this this track . A precious piece, Every word is crafted with precision . Chal, chal ve tu bandeya uss galiye, Jahan koi kisi ko na jaane ....... Kya rehna wahan par sun bandeya, Jahan apne hi na pehchaane ........ Reh gaye hain jo tujhme, Mere lamhe lauta de ....... Meri ankhon mein aake , Mujhe thoda rula de ........ Khwaab jo hue hain khandar , Khwab hi nahi thhe, Ik neend thi neem si....... Kho diya hai tune jisko, Tera hi nahi tha, Ik haar thi jeet si....... Kitna rulayega ye toh bata, Rabba ve tujhe hai tere rab da waasta....... Chal, chal ve tu bandeya uss galiye, Jahaan koi kisi ko na jaane ........ Kya rehna wahaan par sun bandeya, Jahaan apne hi na p...
