Life Lesson #153

Time. It has abilities to move mountains. Literally. You know about the Tectonic Motion, right?

And it also has the ability to make things happen. Life isn't so complicated after all. It keeps evolving, day by day. Your thoughts change, your beliefs become stronger and life goes on. Every day, we learn a little more about us. The bad. The good. The worst. The best.



There are a few realizations I have come across:

1. We MUST be Strong enough to face our fears. It is the only thing that holds us back - even mentally. Heard this before? The Old Gyaan? Facing fears is all about doing the thing you think you cannot do. It could range from some situational changes to starting up studies to learning artistry. Whatever it is that you have given up on because you are too afraid. Why hold back? You have a world in front of you. Whatever happens, will also run its own timeline and bring you towards light. Believe in that. Believe that whatever you do, you will be okay in the end. Risk it.

2. It is alright Not to be Perfect. Some people always aim that, but the road is never ending. It will always bring unhappiness. Yes, we can try to be better and we should, but we must not beat ourselves striving to be someone we cannot be. The Goal should remain to be "Yourself" - your very own abnormal and weird version. Even if people around you except you to "Walk like a Model" or "Cook like a Chef" or "Dress Like a Fashionista" or "Speak English with an Accent". You have your own goals pal. Abide by them. Not try to be according to what others say. Improve the personality and develop the thoughts which you want to. Which you think You need. Which you know you should improve.

3. Listen. Connect with People. The biggest lessons we learn are from people we meet in our day to day lives. Observe the qualities, abstain from the negative. Figure out why someone is the way that they are. I don't believe in being judgmental. This world will be so much better if we try to understand each other rather than putting them down, or using their weaknesses against them.

4. Sense of Humor. The ability to joke about "ourselves". Not others. These laughs only get us out of the gutter. We are introverts or ambiverts -- but we can always try not to keep people at such a distance that we cannot even reach them when needed.  Make good friends. Have a hearty laugh.

5. Refer to 2nd. Be your own version. Follow your own principles. Who Am I to give all the Gyaan, eh?

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 ...
