The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars: Navigating the Cosmos of Your Heart

Any one of us may have experienced that cosmic dance between connecting and detaching, in which the pull of the past becomes interwoven with a promise of the future. In some moments, we are like a cosmic ballet of emotions; other times, we seem like we're caught in the gravitational pull of a black hole. Let's talk about it.

Imagine a universe that symbolizes your life for a moment. The Sun represents your current happiness, the Moon the past, and the Stars, all the endless possibilities that lie ahead of you. 

The Sun: Your Shining Moment


You have found your star, that person who makes the world a little brighter, warmer, and full of light, all of which did not exist for you before. So this will be your Sun. It is wonderful to have found happiness, but at the same time, it is vital to work out this relationship. It's your oasis in the desert and your safe harbor in a stormy sea.

But let us not fool ourselves. There is Helios, mighty indeed, and not shining throughout the whole sky. There are areas of your heart that will always be dark.


The Moon: The Past's Pull


What used to be your constant companion now seems to be moving further away, though it still pulls at you. It's an orbit that you have traveled a hundred times before. Pain apart, there is comfort in what's known. The Moon speaks to shared laughter, dreams, and maybe even heartbreak.

It's okay to look back at the Moon. It is a part of your story, and your story shaped you into who you are. But remember, the Moon doesn't dictate your future. It is a celestial body, beautiful and mysterious, yet ultimately an observer.


The Stars: Your Bottomless Potential


The Stars are the most exciting part of this cosmic journey. They stand for infinite possibilities, for unchartered territories, and for dreams yet to be realized. They are a promise of a future that is yours alone to fashion.

When you get caught in the pull of the Moon, remember the Stars. They are there, waiting for you to explore, to reach for, to become. Your potential is boundless, and the only boundaries set upon you are the ones you create.


Balancing the Celestial Bodies


So what's the procedure to dance with these celestial bodies? How can we balance the warmth of the Sun, the pull of the Moon, and the allure of the Stars?

* Honor the Past, But Don't Reside There: The Moon belongs to your story but doesn't define you. Respect its presence by learning from its lessons, but not letting that dictate a future.

* Nurture the Present: The Sun is for current happiness. Cherish, grow, and protect it. That is what everything else will be founded on.

* Embrace the Future: The Stars represent your ability. So dream large, set goals, and take action towards fulfillment of those aspirations.

* Setting Boundaries: Yes, help someone in a really lousy space, but don't forget to tend to your own being, too. It means setting clear boundaries and effectively communicating them.

* Take Care of Yourself: This path requires energy and resilience. Take good care of yourself, whether through exercise, meditation, or simply time with loved ones.


Remember that you are at the controls of your spaceship, and you can always decide on a different course in life. Let the Sun, Moon, and Stars guide you; but it's you who will choose the destination.


This is a journey, not a race. There'll be days when the moon's very propitious place others, stars seem so distant. But if you keep your eyes toward the horizon, then you shall find your way.

And more importantly, you are not alone in this. There are multitudes of other individuals on their cosmic journeys. Reach out, share your experiences. Help each other out. Together, we can light up the darkest corners of the universe.

Bengaluru Blues

Image
  The horns continued to honk, a dull hum beneath the cacophony of squealing brakes and incessant "beep beep" of auto-rickshaws. Rajesh reclined against the worn seat of his auto, the sun beating hot upon the thin plastic canopy. His leg pained, a throbbing ache that refused to abate. It had been broken in a hit-and-run at the Silk Board junction, and it was healing slowly, too slowly. He observed the crowded Hosur Road in Bengaluru. Buses emitted black smoke, inching through traffic like giant, lumbering brutes. Motorcycles, with two or three riders, sped by, their horns contributing to the cacophony. Peddlers wandered between the stationary cars, hollering, "Sir, Madam, idli, dosa!" above the din. It was a chaos of frustration, a cacophony of impatience, and Rajesh, trapped there as a witness, had a bitter taste in his mouth. He was once a programmer, a coder. He had ambitions of having his own company, of creating the next hot app. He even had a notion, something...

The Cubbon Tale- Short Story

Image
  The sun let loose its warming rays over the lush decor of Cubbon Park. Tall boughs of a majestic Banyan had reached out on the ground forming an umbrella as tentacles offered a canopy sheltering families spreading out their baskets to have a picnic there. Cheers and laughter among the children playing badminton and football fill up the ambient peace. A little girl, Sonia, was playing with a shuttlecock. She let it fall beside a tree trunk and then ran after it, ponytail bouncing with every step. When she picked up the shuttlecock, she heard strange moaning sounds behind the tree. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she peeped behind the tree. What she saw wrinkled her forehead in worry. A couple, young one, embracing each other passionately, locked mouths, hands exploring each other's bodies. The girl figured they might need help, thinking the moaning was painful. She hastened back to her mother and pulled at her hand. "Mommy, Mommy! Those people need help!". Her m...

The Cubbon Tale - Ashwin Alex (Short Story) Reflection

A Tale of Generations  The short story, "Cubbon Tales - Look Closer," reads like a seemingly simple tale about a child's curiosity and a mother's dilemma to explain something that is essentially a complex social norm. Yet, beneath all this lies an intense commentary on the changing values of generations and the friction caused when old meets new.  The Clash of Cultures: The story is based on the act of public kissing, which is considered inappropriate by the older generation but harmless by the younger generation. Sonia is the protagonist who seems to be confused regarding her mother's reaction to the couple's show of affection. She portrays innocent curiosity that reflects a generation less held in shackles of tradition and more open to expressing emotions freely. The story reveals how the emphasis of the older generation on social norms is against the desire for self-expression and authenticity by the younger generation.   The Power of Observation and Ques...
