lotus petal in the wind

There are so many ideas we have as human beings but we limit ourselves because we fear 1. Failure 2.Looking stupid(Resultant embarrassment) 3.What will other people say/think(The all pervading log kya kahenge attitude) 4.Whether we will live up to our own expectations The only thing one must fear genuinely,if you want to become something in life is regret,the if onlys. Everyone has dreams and aspirations,the difference lies in who is ready to look stupid or take the risk of trying.Like I had said in my previous blog post if you remain to keep your head inside that turtle shell then you won't get far. Be brave in most things, if you think you're not tell yourself that you are.Fake it until you make it. Make sure you do the things you want to do,even if it is a little at a time.The importance of just trying cannot be over emphasised! None of us want  to be on our deathbed and think, oh the life I could have had ! As the famous ad goes dar ke aage jeet hai...

The pause; The reason many of us abruptly stop what we're doing simply because we don't feel like anymore ,cause we're afraid or because we think we might suck at it. Whatever the reason it gets to us at one point or the other and when it does nothing is more important than moving ahead and moving faster so. Often in life death ,heart ache ,heartbreak,family issues ,fears and such things hold us back. We become a bit of a scared turtle in that moment!Afraid to put our head out. And yet it is when we do that we realise that it wasn't as scary as we thought it to be . More often than not, instead of procrastinating and postponing the things we need to do, we must learn to do the most difficult things first so that we feel more confident about our day! Start with a little work at a time and then build your empire based on your hustle. You have it in you to make it happen! No matter how difficult it may seem. You can reach that height.Just keep moving for...

As they say, that person who says he'll suceed or that person who says he'll fail both are true cause they believe it from the bottom of their heart. Everytime you fail in life,you need to make a choice of letting it affect you or not letting it affect you.Faliures are important as they let you grow in life but one must always learn from them. Judging yourself or criticizing yourself for failing is the worst thing that you ever do .Cause the next time you do something you will be preparing yourself to accept failure instead of succes.Then for all you know you may start expecting yourself to fail.Slowly a vicious cycle forms. Forgiving and forget principle applies here as well.You must forgive yourself for your mistakes more than being forgiving to other people.Forget the incident involved if you must but not how it made you feel or what you learned from it. The greatest mistake a person can make is to be is not to be kind yourself .It's easier to forgive other peop...

Dear Teachers, It's not just on teacher's day that we remember you,we recall the experiences we've had with you more often than you think! When I think about it, the memories are indeed enough to write a novel with, but I think I'll try to condense it as much as I can. My education in kindergarten would never have started off if not for a certain teacher who chided me for crying my eyes out at the school gate saying I wanted nothing but my mother,if not for her I am sure I would not reach where I am today let alone finish KG. Then as I progressed through school,I learnt that I must wish my teachers at each instance that I see them and rise when they entered the class.Try as you might the small giggles and chit chats from the  little ones in school continued.Some of us became notorious for talking in class. As we grew older we started realising how important it is to treat elders with respect.Then we realised it came so naturally to us.Respecting elders and the...

The most terrible mess up that we all manage to do is to second guess our own ambitions .Being ambitious is never a crime and one must never be apologetic for the same . We all have a place under the sun for ourselves .We all deserve to be the best version of ourselves and also we all deserve to have the best of everything . Loving yourself is the greatest gift you can give to yourself .Being aware of your imperfections and yet striving to over come your so called limitations while accepting yourself for all your scars and bruises and ugliness is damn important . Cause if you cannot love yourself truth be told you can never honestly and truely and purely love anyone else . Knowing that you're imperfect yet striving to climb mountains and walk through plains with equanimity perhaps will be what will set you apart from the rest .And it will make you fall truly and deeply in love with yourself 

They say death is hardest on the living. It’s tough to actually say goodbye. Sometimes it’s impossible. You never really stop feeling the loss. It’s what makes things so bittersweet.-Greys Anatomy The fine line between death and living seems thinner now than ever ,someone you just spoke to a while back is known to have died.And yet someone you have never imagined ,a new life ,a new spirit and a new story is born somewhere else .Therein lies the ironical beauty of life . Each life we come across changes us .... Some form the best parts ,whereas others not so much .We must learn to understand our fellow humans if not a lot of them at least the ones closer to us.Its not easy ,loosing someone with whom you thought you had more time ,loosing that person when you think “yes! finally I’m doing it right”. Its not easy.... Some losses touch our hearts while others just brush off whereas certain others just break us down to the core,we loose our way...

Why do we love ?why do we choose the person we love to love ?why does it seen like its ok even if our choices seem terribly unconventional?Why do we make our love the centre of our world ?Why do we make the choices we do?without a dint of guilt ?without a single doubt ? why do we forget our conventions and get shocked when we are placed in a difficult point When the love that we considered immortal seems to be not so ?when the tests never end ,when you love and yet you hate ,when you don't know what to do?do you love some more or do you just let go?do you admit failing and run away knowing fully well you don't have anywhere to go ? DO you surrender?what can you do?what would you do? Why does your heart unknowingly shatter when relationships of the romantic nature that you thought would last forever end in breakups ?or is it just me??? Why do we take a chance when you know there is a 70% chance it'll end in a anticlimax?Why do we take that chance when statisti...

Rarely in your life does opportunity knock twice at your door.As a child I was asked by my father if i wanted to go at sea I couldn't due to academic commitments. Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to interact with the silent guardians of our seas (THE INDIAN COAST GUARD) and yes it has been a privilege beyond any understanding. The very concept of being inside a ship is a dream for many among us . Well for the young girl who used to run around looking for stamps of ships,who has the love for the ocean in her genes  ,its been a Fantastic day. From the very moment of climbing on board till the good bye at the end(well until next time) it was mind blowing . Till yesterday I used to be the kind of person who would say space is not enough even if it was and the things I had were not enough even if they were,I believed in the perfect scenario to work (ie where I would be very energetic ,have all the stuff I thought I needed ,without people bothering me)and then...
