Free. Open. I try not to miss the point.

#Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can end up being the punishment of #Sisyphus if any stage goes astray.

If not for the #songs and #poems, I wouldn't quite know how to put half of my thoughts and emotions into words.

#Ecstasy is experiencing more than two happy elements in a single perfect moment… Drinking hot chocolate as you hike in a dreamlike valley. Listening to Richard Wagner just as you spot Neuschwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps. Cigarettes after Sex.

An attack on the #conscience is the most effective one.

[Shruti Chowdhry @shrucan]

Is it a little shameful to think that I would never be able to support a cause if that threatens my life in any way?! #Thanking all the stronger #protestors.

If looking too closely makes things distorted/irrelevant, then so does looking at the #GrandSchemeOfThings. There has to be an optimal mid-point from where everything makes perfect sense.

#GoingNative may not let you rule in the strictest sense, but it is even better. It shows respect for the people, self-belief, peaceful integration, and you leave a lasting legacy. #AlexanderTheGreat #LawrenceOfArabia

“Buddham Saranam Gachhami” means taking refuge in the #qualities of Buddha and not Buddhism per se. Likewise, we can learn from the teachings of many gods/wise (wo)men at the same time. Happy #Janmashtami!

All the #similes and #metaphors have given way to #AF.

#Judgement comes in the way of understanding people.

#Shrinkflation can apply to services as well and not just to products. My 1 hour gym class ran for 45 minutes.

In today’s world, the #FirstWorld and the #ThirdWorld problems are colliding.

[Shruti Chowdhry @shrucan]

#Poetry can be #FirstWorld too.
The last poetry slam I attended covered topics like poverty, immigration, discrimination, body shaming, slavery, etc. And yesterday’s open mic poetry was all about the perfect day, seasons, pets, food, children playing, art, etc.

[Shruti Chowdhry @shrucan]

I was a judge at a #PoetrySlam today. I almost voted down a poet who related another issue to his own to empathize, before I realized I was liking poems, I could relate to, more.
#Empathy shouldn’t be a function of what we relate to and #Judgment should be impartial.

[Shruti Chowdhry @shrucan]

The perfect time to enter an #ArtGallery is an hour and a half before closing. I can leave thinking - oh no! I wanted to see more but they wouldn’t let me. #lol

Isolated communities have a #SubCulture. #Islands #Mountains #SmallTowns

What does this mean in the context of certain A*** and J***? It belongs to whoever that can pay for it. #Religion

[Shruti Chowdhry @shrucan]

No free bags mean no privacy. Everyone knows what I’m eating for dinner and what I’m drinking afterwards. #PlasticPollution

Sticking around for long makes one a #legend.
