What I learned in 2014

1. Nothing is ever the way you expect it to be. Harsh. But true. So you could sit with your book infront of you and imagine your future but it won't turn out exactly that way. Note: exactly

2. You are you. But you are also who you want to be. So one should always keep improving their lifestyles or habits according to the life they want  to lead or person they wana be. And nothing is wrong about the change that comes by.

3. Distance can never erode memories. A tv programme or a festival could bring up nostalgia. But you should always keep up with it and make new ones to remember later.

4. Books are indeed best friends.

5. Grudges are better be gone. Easy to say though. Needs practice.

6. You must do or try or have one new thing each day. It could go from buying a diamond necklace to gaining a little knowledge about something.  You could try black tea or make one yourself.

7.You should never take your feelings too seriously. Like if you are upset, thats ok too.

8. Never let anything define you. What others think or what others say. Be self secure. Never underestimate yourself. Have too much confidence. Have no fear. Whatever anyone else says, you are always good enough to be you.

9. Doing things for people makes you happy. But you could do them out of certain expectations and people may not even notice. So you do not have to care about it. Do as much you want to. Enough said. Enough heard. Enough done.

10. Its always easier to hear with one ear and take out from another. Helps your mental state.

11. Never keep in. Talk. Talk even more than you used to. Tell what made you feel good. Tell what made you feel bad. As they say, the good doubles and the bad halfens. Because you may sulk and sulk and get nothing but depression.

 12. Having an aim gives some purpose to life. But so does love. So when one goes missing, do know you have something else or you can always find both.

13. Your life is nothing but a reflection of your thoughts and how you feel.

14. Be true to yourself, if not to the world.

15. Its okay to make mistakes. Its not okay to ponder over them and have regrets.

16. Know the difference between self respect and ego.

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...

Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time. But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with. It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves. Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner ...
