what-not-ism
Post the age of twenty five our knowledge base is full of these words and more. Most of us by the virtue of our education get boggled down or perhaps up by one or more of such words. It demands a lot of time off us and not to forget immense energy.
I recently had a conversation with one of my friends who was hell bent on knowing my views on communism. I of course was slightly amused because honestly the political ideology I hold today can easily be called most weird ever. Anyways.
Are you interested in knowing my answer?
I said, ” The only ‘ism I believe in is Richa-ism.” And I mean it. I have created a la carte of sorts and added whatever I liked off the huge pile of ‘isms around me and yes in turn processed a new kind of thinking called ‘Richa-ism.’ Please note, follow it at your own risk 😀
What I basically wish to express is that crossing the quarter of a century mark do not weigh yourself down by things or concepts literally built over centuries. Rather create your own set of things and beliefs and follow them.
Another added advice, stay out of conversations where such debates flourish. It should be another ‘been there done that’ aspect of growing into the golden age of thirty. (Notice that I have now stopped using the word dreaded and started using the words golden age of thirty!)
What is it that you have shed off? Another ism subtracted from life? Share your thoughts with us.
I like Richa-ism 🙂 A profound post about making your own set of rules and following them boldly…love it.
I love Richa-ism 🙂
Guess from past 5 years I have always followed only what I believed from my experiences and same goes for my Rules 🙂
I like Richa-ism…Maybe I should come up with Naba-ism :D…The one thing I have shed of is trying to please a certain person for I know no matter what I do I won’t be good enough …Who it is well maybe someday I’ll write about that 🙂

Hahah..I think it’s best for each of us to create our own isms 😛 sounds good to me…
Richa-ism. I like it. It’s a ‘To each, his own’ -ism. 🙂 An interesting approach!
I think I really like the concept of richa-ism. Sounds pretty awesome to me! ♥
Ha ha – great read, as always dear Richa:-) I for -ism = super! Richa-ism is awesome:-)
We all have our own ‘isms’ that make us feel comfortable wherever we are !! Love your richa’isms, dear 😀 Be richa’istic always ! 🙂
As you said ism should be unique.. our life..our rules!!! 3 cheers to Richa-ism

Smile, it makes (y)our day!
Richa-ism rocks!!! Very profound and how relevant.. In todays highly mass opinionated world.. It is very important to hold your own ground with your own thoughts .. My-Ism that is what we all need to follow … I may not voice out my-ism all the time because sometimes it is futile and sometimes not so important that other people also know or opine on your beliefs..what is important is that you know and you also know how to let all the other isms go… Lovely post yet again !!!
ISM(e) bahut badi sach hai 🙂

I am yet to shed a few ism….i like Richa-ism though 🙂 also yes! it is not dreaded, it’s golden thirty…good post girl…i love the picture.
now tell me abt the pic acccompnying eac of these posts
I am in process of shedding pessimism which can be totally depressing for me and God knows that I don’t need more of the depressing stuff in my life, your posts are so lively and full of inspiring thoughts. Yay for Richa-ism 🙂
My philosophy is based upon “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Spread some sunshine along the way as you go along in life; Don’t be a messenger of gloom and doom; Be a truly caring person; Help other people around you. I’ve long past the age of 30. Next month (should God allow me to live till then) I’ll be 81 years old. I stay busy; writing, quilting, singing, being happy. I enjoyed your posting. Best regards to you.

Hey nw that is profound! And brilliant…
RICHA-ISM!
I love this one Richa! Don’t just believe in the Isms but in yourself! Great photo with an equally awesome quote – fresh from Richa-ism no? 🙂
Amen, Richa…..let’s follow our own isms!
I let go of everything (almost) I held close to myself at one point. After much thought did i pick what i felt was necessary. Feminism, friendships, family, Reading and Writing and some amount of prioritization made their way back to my life!

I love the idea of Richa-ism! I’m trying to let go of perfectionism, and though it’s a work in progress, I’m getting there. 🙂
Now this is a new religion, I hadn’t heard of! But I get what you mean – at the end of the day we have only have ourselves to believe in.
for me, it is “FollowYourHeart-ism” these caste, religion, social differences doesn’t come to my heart… so the -ism I am suggesting is a good one, I hope Richa-ism is pretty much like that 🙂

Once we cross that 50 mark, we learn to shed all isms – including our own ism and realise that the only ism that exists is the ism of the Lord. It’s the best ism I have ever encountered. Like your I word. It gave me food for thought.
Excellent one!

Your writing gave me an impression you were far older than 25 🙂
Congrats on the maturity you display.
Richa-ism is good as long as you don’t inflict others with it – which you don’t do, of course.
Isms are not bad, not unavoidable either.
Nice One !
creating your own set of beliefs.. that’s how we should live.. It’s tough… but we have to!!
