Being an orator is power but being a listener is also power. Wrestlers may have the power but those who are diseased also have the power. Fire has the power but what it burns also exhausts the fire and that’s also power. Whatever exerts is a display of power but whatever endures is also the power. ~Manal AQUIL

I understood that listening is a skill when I have been through something when I wanted to express it but I was not having the right listener. There were complex and conflicting thoughts and I was scavenging for someone to listen. And in this journey of holding my thoughts inside, I have encountered many listeners, some were curious to know what I had to say, some listened without comprehension. And after living in isolation with just my brain and journal to understand what I feel, I learned a lot about myself, the human brain, different ways of expressing emotions, and different types of listeners. Moreover, many counseling sessions helped me conclude: 1. There are some listeners but they don't validate your misery. 2. There are listeners who will listen and propose solutions. 3. There are listeners who uplift you after listening to your story. 4. There are listeners who listen but don't process and they ignore. 5. There are listeners who will challenge your thoughts. 6.

Strength doesn’t just lies in winning a war, debate or argument. Strength lies in being kind to the one who wronged us, forgiving what we could not, and letting it go of what we don’t want to lose. Strength lies in justice even if it bring us loss. All form of strengths does not need display of strength. ~Manal AQUIL

 A caged featherless bird gets an ample food  but neither the sky nor the flock. Wandering birds have no limits in the sky but are food to some and have to find some. Easy food OR food to some? One day she dies with food in the cage, not knowing her flock and the sky. Or one day she dies being a prey, leaving behind a mourning flock and knowing limitless sky. -Manal AQUIL

Sabki apni soch aur sabka apna khwab hai.  Toh aage chal ya peeche chal,   Sabka apna maqsad, Sabka apna mukhaam hai,     Ess bheed mei hum sabke maqsad se anjaan hai.     Phir kehna kaise aasan hai k yeh kaamyab aur wo nakaamyab hai .     -Manal AQUIL

We surpass all the insecurities; the moment we accept we have to do it all ourselves for ourselves. -Manal AQUIL

 Kindness is not just being kind to someone who looks good commodity, it is to whom who looks nobody, to whom who may not giveback, to whom who will never giveback, to whom who will never giveback and that is where the believe lies that it doesn't have to come back from the same source we were kind to but it will come back. -Manal AQUIL

Although it’s a basic science we all know that mind and body are connected via neurotransmitter. More the neurotransmitter faster the processing of information in the brain and vice a versa is also true that lesser the neurotransmitter slower the processing. As a result, how fast or slow our processing is will eventually determine our reflexes which ultimately determines our overall personality and behavior from being extrovert to introvert, happy to sad etc. Now different neurotransmitter like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins etc. have different role to play and different sources to acquire and imbalance of any of it impacts our coordination and thinking. Although, there is lot to learn about human brain but after understanding a little gist of it I realized and coined a thing "Relationships are made up of neurotransmitter" rather Relationships are made of love or in other words " Rishte pyaar k nhi, neurotransmitter k hote hai ". Whether its a relationshi...

Sometimes we don't know our hidden treasures until our treasure is invaded and just when our defense mechanism tries to protect everything that we are being stripped off, we know what we are . -Manal Aquil
