Goodbye 2014

Another year ends… Its a goodbye to 2014.
How fast the time flies. If I just think about the end of 2013, I was a completely different person with a completely different state of mind, different thoughts, different priorities, in short a whole Different ME.
Changes happen for good. Nothing is static. We just grow. We just Move on.
2014 gave me a lot to cherish, lot of memories, lot of experiences and yes, I discovered a new Me. If I just down at the memory lane, I may have wet eyes with a smile over my face, my expressions may change very randomly.
Professionally I am more stable. I move out of my comfort zone. Took challenges. Faced failures. Rejoiced Success. 
Personally I grew a lot. I have found a child in Me and also discovered a serious side of me. 

In all, I rejoice 2014. Looking forward to 2015.

Also, Wishing all my readers..
" A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!"

We learn from failures.. Not from success...!!!

Try.. try.. until you succeed...!!!
We all learn, we are meant to learn and we only learn from failures. Failures act as stepping stones in life. Mistakes we do once teach us hundreds of lessons.
I look around and see lots of people depressed or demotivated by failures. They give up. They don't want to try again. They take their steps and accept failure as their destiny. Its so heart-breaking to give up your dreams and accept something that you never thought of.
Every champion faces challenges. Even stars cant shine without darkness. Our struggles and pain is what makes us cherish the success even more. The spirit of never giving up is what makes us stand out.
Each failure gives us a chance of introspection. We get any opportunity to understand our own self in a better way and making the best use of it.

“Rise and rise again until lambs become lions” 
― Robin Hood

its just that we become stronger....!!!

Our experiences.. our struggles... our battles... our encounters in life..!!!

As time flies away.. all these things does not make life easier.. its just that we become mature and that is what makes us stronger. The more we move forward in life.. the more determined we become. 

Each of us have our own separate battles to face and we need to fight on our own and all alone. We have certain paths to cover and our destinations are different and so with it our roads also differ. Move on.. conquer new challenges.. overcome your fears.. climb up the mountains.. and there you will emerge with flying colors

I personally believe 

"If life throws lemons at you.. be sure to catch them and make a lemonade...!!"

My scars make me what I am...!!!

Broken into fragments, tears in eyes, aching heart, a doubt on yourself.. all such emotions and thoughts come hurrying towards us when we end relations and move away from people who played an important role in our life.

People don't stay with us forever and nor do any relations come with a warranty card. But still it becomes hard for us to face broken relations. We get ditched, cheated and have broken hearts and all this take us into a state of trauma. But is this the end? Why after such encounters we detach our self from some feelings. Why do we get scared of falling in love again or why do we stop mingling with people.  Well.. I don't have the answer to this question.

I have often heard and read that we should move on.. The show must go on. Yes, it does goes on.. but it takes time. Recomposing our self to accept some realities takes time. But somewhere in this process we do lose a important part of our self. Losing will not be a appropriate word.. instead I should say in this process we find a part of our self. We know what makes us weak and what makes us strong.

As an individual who has faced these emotions, I feel its a part of growing. All these things makes me think the way I think today. After many heart breaks and ditched and cheated upon many times, I have become an individual with my own set of rules and have my own self-respect. I still do fall in love, still face heart-breaks, still cry out my eyes, still go in low and sad moods, but in the end of it all, I am strong, stronger than I was ever before.
 I walk with my head held high. I have experience of things. I have come out of traumas. I have lived it. I have pain. I have love. I have tears. I have emotions. I have scars and they make me what I am today.

Its OKAY not to be Perfect..!!!

The biggest tragedy of life is that we all strive to become perfect but we forget that the only thing that is important is the to become better than what we were before. The only competitor we have is ourself. In the race to become perfect we tend to take steps that eventually have a negative result. Be good to yourself and the world will follow. 
Its OKAY not to be Perfect..!!! 

It's true... I Crave You...!!!

When I have lots to say but don’t have words to express

When my heart is full of emotions but I am unable to show

When my eyes have lots to convey but none to see in them

Then is the time I crave for you…!!!

When seeing group of people talking and laughing

When checking-in to new places

When sitting in solitude

Then is the time I crave for you…!!!

When the night is at its peak

When the stars are twinkling in the sky

When the peace takes over everything

Then is the time I crave for you...!!!

When my head bows in worship

When my hands fly up in discs

When my eyes capture in them some magnificent views

Then is the time I crave for you…!!!

Day or night

Happy or sad

Close or far

There are always moments when I crave for you..!!!

Profession - Joy Or Stress???

The most commonly asked Question “What do you do??” 

Some of us are happy to answer it and some of us answer it but not that happily.

Our profession and career play a vital role in our life. Infact, this is what somewhat becomes our identity. Our social profiles on Facebook and Twitter also contains at least a tagline of our careers leave alone the whole big professional profile on LinkedIn.

Whatever we do in lives for our living is definately important to build as an individual.

But do we chose our career correctly? Are we all happy with our professions or sometimes we do feel that I would have done better in some other. 

Atleast, I do feel this. Being an IT professional, a software developer to be more precise, I do sometimes feel that I would have done better if I would have chosen my career differently.

Recently, I meet someone who asked me “Do you belong to software industry?” I replied “Yes”. But there was something that made my voice a bit unusual. That guy owns a quite well-known designer clothes shop. He was happy and excited when he heard my reply but also showed his discontentment as being a business man he could spare good time for his friends. Soon a discussion started between my group and this guy which was nothing else but each trying to point the cons of their jobs. None of us were speaking of positive things. This made me wonder that do we justify ourselves when we chose our career.

Well, this is just a small incidence but most of face the same situations. We are never content with what we do. But on the other hand, I even have friends who just love their work because it is not only their job but also their hobby and their passion. We can always see the difference when we meet such people. When passion becomes the source of earning it makes us work double hard and also the input at any time is always at its best. 

You happiness some what depends on our professions because we spend nearly more than half day working and if the work is stressful then it surely affects the other time we have with family and friends. We all may not be able to make our passion as career but we can surely spend some time with it. After all, it somehow makes us happy and makes us what we actually are.

True Love has NO Ending...!!!

Every love story does not have a happy ending. Some love stories are meant to stay incomplete.

Each one of us have fallen in love, love that we accept or love that we maynot accept. Sometimes we have the courage to say that it was love and sometimes we don’t even understand this amazing feeling and leave it buried deep down in our hearts and never unveil the reality.

I personally never could understand what LOVE has been for me. 

Is the feeling of caring for someone unconditionally a part of love or being jealous seeing that one person with someone else. 

Is it smiling just at the thoughts of that person or is it in grinning stupidly looking at them. 

Is it in praying for them when they are away and always wishing good for that person.

Is it in silently observing them from far away and taking away eyes if you are caught. 

There are this enormous list that confuses me. Well whatever it is.. it is something that surely is beautiful. All the small things that you tend to admire about one person openly or secretly is anyways beautiful. 

It is actually amazing to think how people change when they sense the presence of love around them. Love is always surrounding us but it takes us lots of time to sense and feel it and when we realise it we seem to be lost in the magic it does on us. Things that we never have even thought start happening in our lives. Days and nights seem to be colourful and beauty of everything is beyond what words can describe. 

The true eternal love doesn’t need anything to stay alive. Its meant to be there forever and always. Distance or togetherness doesn’t affect it. It just make it stronger and true love is a strength. 

I believe Love only makes us stronger and more stern. If we have the courage to love someone more than ourself, then there is nothing that cannot be achieved with that courage. Its only a matter of time when people start believing the power of Love. 

And yes, each love story may not have a happy ending but to make it perfect depends only on us. 

LOVE is bliss and people who have been in love will surely agree with me.

It all just reminds me of beautiful song by Boyzone:

You’re the air that I breathe

Girl you’re all that I need

And I wanna thank you, lady

You’re the words that I read

You’re the light that I see

And your love is all that I need

Just like a castle of sand

Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands

And just like a flower needs rain

I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain

Think Big... Think Positive...!!!

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” 

― Albert Einstein

How the incidents in our life affect us… I feel this when I look back today. 

Sometimes the decisions we take make us travel the less travelled road. We are alone on that path but its only our faith that gives us the courage to move ahead. 

“The Road less Travelled” was something I always heard and read about but soon I felt I saw it too. To come out of comfort zone and live in a completely unknown world is something that we all fear at some point but believe me its worth it. It teaches you so much about yourself and how the world is. You socialise with different type of people, go around and see a whole different YOU. A newer and improved version of oneself is discovered. And moreover, the courage, strength, confidence and all something that is just amazing.

Every step in life is to remove the negativity and embrace the positively. Each decision we take teaches us something or the other. We all have a new set of experiences with every new move we take in life. 

This all may just look like a thought process but this though process is something that change the life of many around us. The way we perceive things is all a matter of thoughts. To nurture our thoughts is our responsibility and they make us take decisions which affects our life.

The way we take life and the lessons of life depends only on our thinking and to change it for good we just need to change our thinking.

You are the Owner of your Emotions...!!!

I look around and see most of the people complaining about something or the other. Some seem to be unhappy with their personal lives, some are sad with their jobs, some complain about weather, someone who is shouting on some product company, someone angry because they were stuck in traffic and got late to work and the reasons for people complaining is just countless.

All of us seem to be missing something or the other in our lives. We expect more and are never happy with what we have. Majority of us don’t even try to figure out where the problem came from. I even see people worried or complaining about how others are.

This is something I am unable to understand. 

All of us seem to complain about things but we never try to find a solution for them.

We get angry because of traffic on road but we don’t prefer car-pooling.

We complain about get wet in rain but we don’t carry a umbrella or rain-coat.

We are upset because of our personal lives but we don’t try to discuss it with our family.

We are unhappy with our jobs but we never try to find better jobs or do something to improve our career.

Getting angry, upset, sad etc are normal emotions but letting these emotions take a upper hand on out life and our living is what we need to avoid.

Just live and face it all. 

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” 

- Oscar Wilde

Cherish the moments.. not the milestone...!!!

Stay Inspired..!!!

Life is all about taking risks and leap of faith only makes us lose our fear. Go ahead, take a leap and you will surely come out with flying colors. Every time a bird flies, it is just the leap it takes and the result is that it flies high in the sky and touch the horizons. So brace up yourself, and be inspired and stay inspired.

7 things to love about Dehradun...!!!

Dehradun, often called as Doon Valley, geographically located in the State of Uttarakhand and situated in the foothills of Himalyas is one of the cities I just love belonging to. Being away for sometime has made me me miss the city and here I jot down few things that I most remember about Dehradun.

SCENIC BEAUTY AND WEATHER

The scenic beauty of Dehradun is mesmerising. From the valley the look of the mountains all around and on the outskirts the peace and look of the city is just beyond what words can describe. And how can i forget the look of Dehradun from Mussorie road, it is something that most of feel is just beautiful.

The weather is just awesome. Rain, clouds, sun all are in the best proportion.

HANGOUT ON MUSSORIE ROAD

The famous Mussorie road and maggi points which are one the best points to hangout and recollect memories and create few more new rememberable ones.

FAMOUS INSTITUTIONS

IMA, FRI, IIP etc  being the major attractions which add to the heritage and popularity of dehradun. Both these institutions have beautiful structures.

MAIN MARKET

Paltan bazar can never be replaced by malls. The evening strolls is also inviting to the youngsters to do some window shopping and enjoy a ice-cream at Gaylords.

WATER FALL

How can I forget the water springs. Shastradhara, Gucci pani, Lachhiwala and various springs like Shikhar falls, Bhatta falls attract a lot of people to enjoy in midst of day routines.

PEACE

The peace of the city is just amazing for meditations and the calmness attracts a lot of people to have Dehradun as a place to rejoice.

OUTSKIRTS AND NERABY PLACES

A few kilometres drive and you can go to the well known Mussorie, Dhanaulti and its outskirts , Rishikesh and its beautiful surroundings and also Ponta sahib cannot be forgotten.

The stroll on the mall road that one can never say a 'NO' to.

These are just the few things that people who have stayed in Dehradun will agree with. Each one of us who has spent some time may that be days or years in Dehradun will always cherish going back

PS: This post is dedicated to all Dehradun Lovers, so called Doonites.

Keep the Fire Alive..!!!

Sky above.. earth below.. fire within…!!!

 Alas, this is what every adolescent feels. There is always a span of time in which we feel unstoppable. We just fly… fly to never come down.. fly with the ambition to touch the sky… we just have the urge to move forward and to never stop…amazing is that feeling. 

But, where does this feeling vanishes off after sometime. Why does the energy drains out?

Its not that we forget what we wish but with time the flair goes away and this is what is we need to control. We need to keep the fire burning. The fire to get keep flying and keep moving forward till the last breath and this fire is what distinguishes us from all people. It not easy but it is not impossible.

“Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.”

I Will Win Not Immediately But Definitely...!!!

Inspiring yourself and staying motivated is too important.

A positive attitude is something that can only help you live life differently from what others may do. Difficulties and hard times are just there to test our patience. Give your best shot to whatever you do.. and you will in the end emerge a winner with flying colours…!!!!

PS: This quote has always inspired Me.

Always SMILE...!!!

SMILE till you have teeth…!!!! 

Life is full of problems.. but staying happy and smiling is what makes us cope up with everything. Tensions or pain is in everyone’s life but you never know when your smile can bring a smile on someone’s face and make that person forget his/her problem for sometime and what is more beautiful then making someone happy even if its for a small time.

A smiling face is always adored and it makes us look beautiful and who doesn’t like beauty. So live it up and smile even if their are problems coz a smile lasts for some seconds but the memory of it lasts forever..!!!

The Call Of LOVE..!!!

Aloof alone here I stand

with love in my heart.. that has no end,

You made me smile…you made me cry

you made me wonder… you made me ponder.

Time passed.. my love grew

unconditionally drew me toward you,

Each day each night

I wondered what it was 

to be in love with you.

I couldn’t say

I couldn’t accept 

the love that was within,

The feel that i had for you

was far from being revealed.

You were away.. you were far

with someone i didn’t knew,

I cried all night

to gather the strength and

wished that you realise.

You left.. 

I cried,

You came

I rejoiced,

Each day was full of pain

yet the love was not in vain.

You matter to me

more than words can explain

Standing away.. all i could say

i’ll love you with all my might

hoping one day u’ll be mine..!!!

The World is a Stage and We are the Actors....!!!

Life is a theatre and we all play our roles. We have the whole world as audience and it depends on us who we give tickets of the front row. It our choices and its all unto us as to how to decorate the hall for our performance. Each one of us adds spices as per our taste in the script given to us. The ups and downs are the symbol telling us that we are still alive. 

Often I see people relating their life to some movie or song. They feel exactly the same as some character. The circumstances seems similar to the one faced by us. Hence, we often end up relating to Theatre. 

This life is full of surprises. The twist and turns in the movie makes us wonder and sometimes we end up with a OHHHHH or sudden reactions of shock, surprise or happiness. All of us need to play roles and the better we act the happier is the public. But behind the curtains is a stage.. the BackStage where each one of us knows the real us. The mask is off and our originality comes out that will again relate our life to some movie. 

A new day, new start but again amidst the big mystery of theatre. We cannot run away from the acting but we can bring life to our roles. Get involved. Get going. Play it and the Theatre will be SUCCESS.

I’ll quote a famous saying of William Shakespeare, 

“All the world's a stage.” 

A far away voice......

Thousands of thoughts that cross my mind in just fractions of seconds amazes me. From family to friends to lover to career to future to life to dreams to reality.. all in just no time at all. And when i try to compose my thoughts into words or into something fruitful the result is a big failure. All this surprises me as once a calm and composed person has now turned into a person with messy thoughts. The thought process doesn’t end here. It actually starts from here once more forming a cloud that can burst at any time causing the world around to look up and realise that a blunder took place. 

This world has millions and trillions of people all lost in their own world but somehow each one of us has this state of mind at some point of time maybe just for moments. It depends on person to person as to when this state changes and how long it prevails. This is thus the time when the thoughts of our own mind play a devilish role in our life. This is the the moment when even surrounded by thousands of people you can hear a faint voice from the background telling you that you do not belong here. You feel that something else is controlling you, that someone has taken over you and you observe the whole scene from a whole new dimension. You don’t hear what people are saying but you just observe the complications of life and also how entangled are the people.

Alas, you have to come back and realise that you are here in between all this mess living a life that is somewhat mess at times and then you think and get back to this world with a smile.

Is it LOVE??

Recently some events and realizations made me think the difference between LOVE and LUST.
These two 4 letters made me think a lot for nearly two long days now and finally i decided to write something on it.

LOVE is something that bounds us to someone (purity involved) and LUST is something that wants the other person to be bound to you.
If I love someone, it has to be unconditional. I cannot expect the other person to love me too. And the day i feel it a necessity for the other person to love me the same way then that day this LOVE converts into LUST.


Love is never based on person's looks or who a person presents itself and you never have a image to maintain as what you are is only what you show. On the other side, Lust is somewhat based on physical attraction and nothing to do with feelings.

Love and Lust is most misunderstood and thus the result is a huge disaster. If the relation is based on lust then somewhere at some point of time the gut feeling arises speaking of DANGER. Thus, to differentiate the feelings is very important and also a challenging task as "Love is purity of heart and Lust is just a demand..!!"
It always take time to build love but lust comes in moments. And anything that takes time is worth maintaining. Right?

Never Give Up..!!!

All of us have hard times in our life. It may be related to career, business, relations or anything else. These hard times depress us and even may make us feel that are life is unworthy. But it is really so?
If we are unable to run, its okay, at least we can walk.
We need to cherish what we are able to do and always keep the spirit of keep trying. The day we end hope is the end where everything finished, it is thus the day where life ends and where we need to go in depression.
To add to this thought, here is an amazing quote and always inspires me-

Today is a Present..!! Live It..!!

The past is an experience,

present is an experiment and

future is an expectation.

These words have a deep meaning that one needs to soon realise in life.

Our life has its past, future and a present. The worry of past and future always tends to destroy the present which is a beautiful gift. No matter how bitter experiences we may have had, it can never destroy our present till we give it the power ourselves.

Incidents, people and things of the past should always be kept in the past and their thoughts and presence earlier should not make us regret the present we live in. The expectation of something is always a source of disappointment ( as i mentioned in a earlier post too ), so the best of all is just live in the present and make the best out of it and worthy enough to cherish.

Life rewards you unconditionally but you need to deserving for it. If you don’t know the meaning between past and present then you can never understand the future. If you cant perceive your gifts properly then what is the point of them.Beauty of life can be felt only when we live it. 

“If you live in the fear of the future because of what happened in the past, you’ll end up losing what you have in the present…!!! “

Keep Moving.. Keep Learning..!!!

All of us dream of things that we want in our lives and also imagine a world of our dreams. We believe that life will some day give us things that we want and expect. We dream, we hope and we live.  Often these dreams may be unrealistic but we still dream of them. But to understand what the real world is all about we need to move out of our comfort zones and analyze the world. We need to take steps that lead us to learning and experiencing new things.

Well, I took the same step and relocated. New city, new people, new environment, new things and definitely new experiences. Life is all about realizing and learning. Isn't it?  Away from home, family and friends it becomes difficult to manage things initially but it is just a phase where we take time to settle but these are good learning days of life and here I am learning lots of things. Learning to be independent and manage myself that i thought would be easy but its not that easy. :P
Now here I am, 2 weeks in a new town somewhat happy and somewhat sad. But I will surely make it a great learning experience. Make moments. Live life and make it worth living. Life's amazing if you know how to make it amazing. Life's worth making realization if you know how to analyze and realize.

Finally, I would just like to add that Dream as much as you can. You never know when they just come live. :D

Words are mightier than Sword...!!!

Words often leads us into the unexpected and this is often true in case these words are written to describe one's feelings.

Often there are feelings that are hard to share with anyone. These may be the ones  of love, hurt, jealousy, care or something more intense that I am not aware of at present. These captivate us so badly at times that we chose a way to let these flow out and its none other than words. We write. Write just to let go from the pain that these feelings give us by staying within but does writing anything does justice to the real emotions behind it. Can we actually portray the feelings in our words properly?
I always felt that we do enough justice to our feelings by writing them out. But I just realized that writing something may give us freedom from the heaviness but if someone comes to read it and perceives it differently from the way we wrote it then it does pains more than ever.

I have often heard and read at places-
" Do not give explanations. Because your enemies wont believe it and your friends don't need it."
But if your friends only misunderstand your words, then wont a person feel the urge to give a proper explanation. And thus here comes once again the importance of words. The words we chose to explain or describe something needs to be chosen properly.
Simple things do get complicated when these words show their real magic. A simple thought can change the world often if it is illustrated using powerful words. Simple feelings can be twisted if improper words are used. A smooth going life can be devastated if your words are wrongly interpreted. Weird.. Isn't it? How just your words can change it all.

Strange is this world where the disclosure and sharing of feelings has become so hard that the feelings that come from deep within without thinking needs a lot of thought when it comes to displaying them.

SECRET ADMIRER (FINAL PART)...!!!

….and yes i fell in love..!!!!

(BEAUTIFUL WORDS AREN'T THEY… )

Love, attraction, infatuation is something that we all go through at one phase of life. All these feelings seem to be all around us and we get captivated. The world seems the best place and people in it the most amazing creatures. (yes i call them creatures because they are very difficult to understand) Each one of us when in this phase of life feel that the world and this life is the best place to live in but believe me all that glitters in not gold. All the shining feeling soon comes to an end and the world becomes seems to be worst place and the people in the most disgusting creatures.

Same thing happened with our heroine of the story, the so called feeling of love soon disappeared and hatred took its place. The place where she loved going soon become a place which she most hated going. She felt a urge to run away where no one can ask her how it all went about. There was once a time when she hated when her "admiration" didn't come to the office but soon she started this feeling better as his presence brought goose-bumps in her stomach.

Things took a U-turn in her life. She was forced to think about her feelings for this one person who all of a sudden became so important that his decisions and choices affected her so much. 

After a lot of introspection, she realized that love and admiration are great feelings but there is no point sacrificing everything just for nothing. A person who cannot respect you and your feelings at the correct time doesn't deserve to be the one to be shown all your love. Being strong enough, she took the decisions to move on in life and move away from things that have been hurting. Soon came the time when this decision of hers came into play.

Admiration that was once formed without knowing anything about the other person can obviously not go away that easily but it can be respected. It can be nurtured to make yourself more strong and understanding the physics of living happily. Grudges and pain can be kept in the heart and lead to our own destruction or people can be forgiven and we can move forward with a head held high. 

At some point we do have realization that are necessary in life and can surely be a turning point in life.

"Making someone a part of your life is amazing but it is indeed beautiful if you are a part of the same person's life."

This person will always be special to her and his place will surely never be taken by anybody else but the lessons he has unintentionally taught her will always remain by her side even though she is moving herself away and she will be his "SECRET ADMIRER" and yes she had fallen in Love…!!!

WHO M I ???

I was once asked "What are YOU...??? What classifies and designs YOU...??? What is that influences YOU...??? What is that makes you what you are today..??

That was the time I was forced to think on the questions that just came by and I couldn't find a suitable answer. But today is the time that i have realized a perfect answer to these questions.

Its something that i wish to share here.

Something that influenced me and made me more firm on my roadmap of life.

So here it goes...

Its You and Only You...!!!

It is often said, "All that glitters is not gold..!!! " But it often takes time to understand this fact. We assume that nothing can make us hamper our belief on the things that matter a lot in our lives. We start to believe that we can get everything that we desire but its long before this misconception comes to an end.

A person best companion is his own self. We may fall in love, have friendships and wish to secure our relations but does these things last long. There comes a time when we need to decide that what is the foremost priority in our life, what is that cannot wait and what is that can be neglected.

Its the law of nature that anything that gets to a peak has to come down. Each individual faces a dilemma in his/her life and this makes us think as to what is correct and what is not.

Often the things of most importance takes a back seat in life and we focus on things that can are just diverting us from the actual path.Each one of us have a aim in life and this aim varies from person to person, sooner or later we come to understand this aim and we realize that every action and situation that occurred in our life was something that was trying to make us understand that aim.

The things we need to learn are always learned and it takes its own time to settle in properly. 

As it can be truly said that " Lessons of life will be repeated till they are properly learned..!!!"

Beauty lies Within..!!!

We all at some point of time get attracted to people. We let these people influence and feel ourself captivated. This is generally the time when we feel that a beauty is making us spell - bound and the concerned person becomes fascinating all of a sudden. 

But is physical beauty the actual measure of attraction. Do we really call a person beautiful if he or she is physically attractive. 

Well, we may do so but its does not last forever. With time the physical beauty fades and also the attraction vanishes. Soon we realize that the outside beauty can only last for moments before the reality and beauty of one's soul becomes the priority.

What actually matters is the inner beauty and this genuinely makes a person BEAUTIFUL...!!!

I personally find the most beautiful things about a person almost never physical.

Wealthy is a person who.......

Just browsing through and I found this image in front of eyes and it made me stop scrolling down the page.

In the materialistic life of today, we all think that money can buy anything and everything but of course this is not true. Money is just a part of wealth but never the way to measure it. It is something that can make us buy and possess things of comfort and joy but never the things that create joy. Real joy and happiness comes from things that make our heart smile and not just our lips. The smile that is smiled with the heart is the one that is adored by all.

Owning and possessing things that cannot be bought by money is the real source of joy and thus shows the real wealth of a person

After all, its the people who gather around your coffin that matters and not the cost of the coffin.

VALENTINE MANIA...!!!

Its 14th February, Its Valentine's Day, Its the day of love-birds, its a day to cherish and feel love, a day which is celebrated as a festival by all the lovers. 

After a whole week of enthusiasm and valentine mania in people, today is the day when we can see lovers making vows and showing their love. Across the world, people in love have a great zeal about this one day of love. But there are people who consider all this a perfect crap. 

I personally have seen people who are against this season of love and have various reasons to hate it. Some say this this is wastage of time. Some may say this is one of the most ridiculous idea and i have even seen people saying that we don't need a single day to celebrate love, for us each day is valentine day and we celebrate love each day. This is when i feel like saying "Come on guys, Give me a break". All these things do not convince me at all. Can someone celebrate love in such a way for each day of the year. Yes, you can love somebody for each day of the year and even for each day of your life but is it possible to the same for each day with your loved one. Is it really possible to avoid the small bickerings and arguments that any couple may have. Is it feasible to gift your lover with gifts each day? :P Well, everyone knows the real answer to these questions. 

If you really love someone then certainly you do need to show it too. Surely, Valentine's Week gives a great chance to people to show their love and live in that ambience. In today's busy lives, people do not have time for their self let alone their partners. In any relation time indeed has a great role to play and i individually believe that showing love is a necessity in present scenario of living.

Mischievously, I feel like adding that this one week even allows the market to be wrapped in the color of love. Hearts, cupids, roses, chocolates, greetings and lots of other things can be seen everyone and they indeed give a feel to relish and you don't need to be in a relation to celebrate love so why criticize one of the purest feelings of people. Live it.

Finally, when its all about love and Valentine, then I would like to end it by quoting:

“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

Wishing All the readers A Very Happy Valentine's Day…!!!

Agony of Life...!!!

"Expectation is the root to all heartache…!! "

-William Shakespeare

Wonderfully quoted and so truly believed, this quote by William Shakespeare raises a sense of self question in me. It makes me think about the depth of life. It makes me think of my life.

Often we are in pain and curse ourself because we have been hurt by someone. But does someone really has the power to hurt us? No. Its us only who hurt our own self and then by some means blame others for being the cause for our pain and suffering.

I personally had many heartaches and the reason i felt it was because I expected from people. I believed that I will have my so-called close ones with me during my trauma times, they will support me and be by my side. Here is where the heartache begins. Just because of expectations. I expected things from people and it never seemed to have given the happiness i thought of, instead it left me with a feeling of insecurity and scars on my heart. The moment we count on something or somebody to be the source of our joy and happiness comes the time we allow intruders in our space. We realize and feel a discomfort and inconsistency. We ruin prospects of any upliftment and the journey of life becomes a stress.

Heartaches distress us and we feel a certain kind of resentment towards everyone and this bitterness gradually becomes a stain in our soul. This is very harmful indeed. So, why risk? and it is not a small risk. We expose ourself to the danger of repulsion and hard feelings towards the world.

So, the question that arises in my mind is Why Expect? Where does these expatiation arise from? 

The only valid answer coming to me is because we tend to the same things for others or believe that we will be doing it when the time comes. So, again the problem emerges from ourself only.

So, simply do things and acts of kindness without expecting the same in return as it will only lead to pain, suffering and wrath towards people.

“If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.”

Its Only about Realization...!!!

Often we come to realize that things are not coming in the way we want them to be and feel depressed at the thought of it. We always are in a state of mind where we wish our past to be different and always wish for some things to happen in future. But life is what we live now. Its far beyond the dilemma of past and future. Its all about just today. We need to accept the past and also embrace the future with whatever it brings on us. The person we are today is just because of what we have seen and gone through in the past. Things are never to make us suffer, instead they redirect us to something far better than we can even think of at that particular moment.

Its never the end but its always about the path and journey to reach that end that needs to be cherished and believe me when you do look at your past, you will surely realize that everything that happened was to redirect you to something better.

Blessed Indeed...!!!

"People come and go in your life but only very few leave a footprint in your heart…!!! "

We meet many people of every sort in our life but we get attached to only a few, who indeed become special to us in just a small amount of time. The presence of such people is always a source of joy and contentment to us. I too have such a person in my life, to whom i dedicate this post of mine as its his birthday today. 

We all desire for some qualities in the special ones in our life but all these are just mere things that seem to be of no more importance when you find a perfect person with whom you can share your thoughts and yourself. You may be different in caste, culture and thoughts but the little bond that ties two people together is above everything else.

It takes times for any relation to blossom and it is indeed difficult when you are unable to give that time as your special one cannot be close to you. Such a case is surely heartbreaking. But this is not the end as some people feel it is. It is just the beginning of the understanding that is needed in any relation. You start cherishing the small time you spend, the little talks to have, you care unconditionally and more over you believe and the more you believe the more you feel the worth of it.

A very similar thing is there with me. A friend cum support, always there by my side in just a small span of time. The moment when we thought to make our bond stronger and stability in our friendship was the time when he had to go away from me. Difficult it is for us but also its testing our patience and our commitment to the great bond we share. The level of maturity and clarity of thought is just one thing that has made me adore him. 

The distances between us is going to a big one and we know it but this is what makes us cherish even our fights let alone the good times.

Blessed to have a friend like him. He is surely going to be great partner and also i always wish the best for him. Happiness and success is all I pray for him.

“Friends come into our lives and friends leave our lives. But friends never leave our hearts. And best friends always get to stay in the best places in our hearts.”

MISTAKES...!!!

Each one of us make mistakes in life and their happens to be a time when we feel guilty and hate ourselves for these mistakes, but is making mistakes a crime or a sin. Not at all. Making mistakes is a part of growing, part of learning and surely a part of realizing.
We as individuals have no right to judge anyone or even our own self but the type of mistakes we make. Its just a stepping stone. If we keep the guilt of a mistake then we can never look at the new horizons it provides to us.

"Make mistakes.. learn from them but never keep the burden of it... coz it is going to hunch your back for sure...!!! "
