Anagnorisis

Clothes, attires, drapes, covers, furnishings all adorn either us or the ambiance, expresses our taste and at times leaves behind an impression or becomes a style statement. We spend a lifetime trying to gather the best around be it a beautiful dress for the cocktail party or the new drapes complimenting our wall papers. From time to time we do take care of our skin as well. We generally do not skip our facials and skin treatments and often tend to spend an enormous amount to look younger on each birthday.

In the rush for life what we tend to forget is our body, mind & soul. The trio which keeps us going. Health is often neglected in the race for home, work and life. Minds are burnt out and pushed to the limits so much so that they stop responding and is at unrest most of the time. Our souls have given up fighting the battle of life. And our very essence of existence is no more alive. Our conscience is dead. We do things the way our dead mind orders but the soul does not permit. The needs and wants of our day-to-day lives are taken care of but the mind, body and soul are tired. They are longing to quench the thirst within. Our inner self lives with the hope that some day we would rise above the ostentatious ways of the world & resurrect ourselves. It's time for anagnorisis.
