What are you Hiding?



Strange but true, when guests are at our doorstep and we are unprepared then What do we usually do? 

We hide things and we hide sometimes alot more than just things.In a hurry, we wrap up what we were doing and clothes go inside the almiras in the wrong places.


Dust is cleaned as much as not to show and pinch the eyes.There is some unwanted stuff which also finds place with our dear possessions.Things we never intend to keep, gradually mingle to become a little wanted.On this occasion when unexpected becomes exciting and we welcome the new guests with open arms, how much we change to please them and the abode goes through a mini makeover.And now we are not unhappy , we are good with this change. We have hidden what we do not like, we have the guts to showcase things which might appeal to others and not necessarily to us. Its critical to know what was put where and to not start liking the current status quo. Or is it?

The same happens with our relationships. Often in times of discomfort with people in life, we hide and camouflage to please usually ourselves and seldom others.In a house we do sacrifice and make that extra effort, but not in life.Relationships start rotting and the Almira of thoughts becomes hap hazard. In the scheme of clash of likes/dislikes and hate/love we temporarily adjust but never permanently.Not till we forget that this was what we did not like.Is it that we can skew towards opinions and preferences easily if we keep ourselves neutral.Are we becoming more and more egoistic and rigid not towards our preferences but because we have conditioned ourselves and derive a sense of self from it.Our definitions of possessions, emotions are strangely defining us today. And we will hide our real self under this garb to later realise that secretly we did enjoy what we claim to hate.


So sit and think, what are you hiding.And when the guests leave your home, when random thoughts and people leave you alone, do find time to think, why are you hiding yourself in good/bad/ugly/beautiful relationship or phases life. Lets love ourselves and not restrict what we think we are.



We are as wonderful as we wish to be. There is no limit to being what you want to be.Pause for a while and accomodate others in your journey as well, do not mould yourself as per others and do not try to fit others in your scheme of things.The ones who wish to see the real you will, and others well, will one day merge within their scheme of things to become likeable.Welcome all the guests with eyes split wise open to see yourself through their eyes, maybe they do see the best in you.They will see what you cannot and believe in you when you don't.Do remember, when somethings do not fit the scheme of things, either we keep them till we find space or we pass them to people who have space.People, friends, emotions, money, things, pictures, possessions and thoughts should never be hidden, else they might show up at the wrong time.Only hide your fat, it never harms to hide extra pounds. That is smart.Oversmartness is when we hide what we cannot manage.
