Life!

Ever felt everything that you wished for, desired or wanted to cherish as yours is beyond your reach? Sometimes there’s no way to get there, nothing to be seen, no path, no guide, in-fact no hope at times… Coming to an important question, why do we look for or want what’s unknown to us? Or assume how our response would be after we have it?  Haven't you wondered sometimes, that what we wished by all ways, may not be the right thing to gain?  In that case, isn’t it beneficial to believe in going with the flow and accepting whatever comes your way, without a single question as to why me at all, this day?  Wishes…we all have too many, isn’t it? Some are just beyond sight while quite a few have been heartfelt prayers from a while.  Not a single ray of sunshine to guide this row, yet we continue to hope in search of it over and over.  Isn’t it stupidity or lies to oneself, while expecting something near to impossible to happen? Is anything impossible at all? Something...

  Every accomplishment, person or result in life has a process or journey preceding it, isn’t it? Now given a choice between experiencing the whole journey to reach this destination vs ‘the final destination has arrived’ what would you choose?  Seems like a simple choice, why take trouble when there’s an ‘anywhere door’?!  But let’s make this a difficult one… It all starts with where does one want to go? What’s your aim? Is it a University, a career, a person, an exam, a consequence of peer pressure or just footsteps of your inspirational idol. Is it good to have an idol? Well that’s a completely different story, for some other day!  Once a destination is determined, we start attempting to work towards achieving it. Assuming it’s achieved, there’s no motivation to move forward towards something else? Or rather a short term of aimlessness prevails until another aim is found. Why not aim for the ultimate then? Going back in time, before achieving what one would’ve alwa...

  Everything that begins has to come to an end… isn’t it?  But how can one determine an ending that’s apt for anything at all?  Is every ending painful? Does it always have to be beautiful? And most importantly is it always for the best?  Whether it’s that friendship that touched the heart for months ,or something that began with a ton of false expectations, or just a concurrent cycle of the academic calendar… It’s funny how we want to freeze some magical moments, and live them over and over again, while some or rather most are best to forget forever, than the rest. Yet, overtime human tendencies haven’t evolved, we only like to recall the best moments.  But haven’t you wondered, about those tough times leading you to this magic?  There’s some beauty in that struggle, isn’t it?  In realising how overwhelming situations can be overpowered with determination or finding the ones who mean the world and would stay by your side no matter what the t...

2023 was supposed to be my year!  How is that, it’s already falling apart?  Probably 2024 is the one, isn’t it? I hope it is… We all have this feeling, don’t we? With every passing year, we hope it’s our year. A time when everything goes in your favour, major changes towards a promising future take place and life magically isn’t the same anymore.  While this is possible, it may not be feasible.  Everything is a mix of some happiness and sorrow . Having that heartbreak, which may not seem very healthy, is a long term benefit for oneself, that has taught a ton of lessons. Instead of consuming oneself for someone who wouldn’t even care, it’s better to get shattered all at once and start afresh. Not that everyone is soughed but sometimes it’s just people behave way too differently. That affects… Doesn’t it? Memories flash back and it gets difficult many a times.  Careers, missed opportunities, or just those targets to be achieved, become far fetched. It all seems ou...

Ever felt like everything is ending? Nothing’s there, that can keep you going? It’s all just getting too much to take at the moment? Now, can you recall one of those beautiful moments when everything froze, your heart skipped a beat, eyes couldn’t believe, or you seized to exist… I wish life could be redefined with these! But they are probably too short and too few to be named. What actually happens when nothing works? We stop believing there’s a way forward, and anything can go our way… Or even worse we anticipate everything is now going to be against the current!  In these tornadoes, we forget to chase what we truly love, dreams, aspirations or what actually once kept us alive! That childhood fascination or some of those, to be considered unrealistic dreams… Isn’t there that one thing, which you want to do once in your lifetime ? An experience that you know, would touch your soul and make your heart sing… We all know what that is, and as we experience life, more of these are boun...

  Somethings we never imagined could ever happen actually become a living reality! Have you ever found it a tedious task to believe such a thing?  We live with our notions and assumptions of how everything is and how everything can be. Sometimes the assumption is right while at other times we are left heartbroken. But no matter what it’s practically difficult to predict everything accurately. Does that mean it’s impossible to save oneself from being hurt? Or is it dangerous to dream?  Probably not, until you allow yourself to get shattered into pieces. Everything does happen for a reason and once that is known and the lesson is learnt there’s no looking back… Trust is another complicated combination of alphabets that many may not understand or live upto. Trusting the wrong person or even trusting the right person way more than required can tear any equation apart. Both sides you may end up blaming yourself. Either for believing in the wrong person or believing so much in ...
