Strive to be talented not famous

We never know what works in our life or what road plan did god have for us.. I thing we can be sure of is that he has something for us.. he made us for a purpose to be fulfilled.. life never works according to plans.. but one thing that we can guarantee ourselves is to be happy in life n work hard n be super talented.. being famous is something that just happens to you.. that can never be a goal for anyone.. And shouldn't be.. 

The same is explained by Maisie Williams in her ted talk. Arya Stark in game of thrones - that would be a good explanation..



"In a world where literary anyone can be famous I hope to inspire people to be talented instead. Talent can carry you so much further than 15 minutes of fame. So why am I telling you all this? The very fact that I am here giving you a Ted talk now is so far from anything at what I was capable of.. even while writing the bio for my speech made me realize that in a decade everything can be changed and so has my life..

 I am an a emmy nominated actress, an entrepreneur and an activist.. Yet no formal qualification to my name. when I left school I made it my mission to continue learning even though I never wanted to set foot in classroom again..

 Who knew what's going to happen to my life in the next 10 years? I surely had no idea. I never had, and its working out ok so far. So trust that you are good enough. If there is one thing that I have learnt is that there truly is a place for everyone.

 Ask questions, and laugh in the face of people who say that they are stupid questions. Be open to learning and admitting when you don't know what the hell is going on..

 Refuse to hold yourself back and dare to dream big"

TWENTY SIX… 26… I keep repeating this age in my head again and again.. this is how old I am now… young I am now??? Who knows.. as the song goes “ Old, but I'm not that old, Young, but I'm not that bold ” Birthdays come with defining and reiterate things, maybe re-defining them. I have had mixed feelings about birthdays always, I love other people’s birthdays. Would walk an extra mile just with the thought that it would make them happy or feel special. But for my birthday as far as I remember I have either felt too overwhelmed by attention or too into my head with thoughts. I have always been an overthinker. Hence, a pointless rant with my overbearing thoughts. I am basic and watch almost everything that pop culture sanctions. I wasn’t into moon or flowers that much when I was younger but now I love them and never let go of one opportunity to show world how much I love them and how much comfort they provide me. I collect a lot of quotes, all of them basic, generic, roomy, inte...

FAILING WELL

Today I saw two small girls playing badminton; a very common game.  The two girls were playing with a lot of effort. Hitting hard with the racket, running for the cork, teaching each other and scolding each other. But they didn’t know how to play they were making small baby steps in learning it.. This continued for days,  2-3 hours each day. Their temperament was motivating.. Even when their cork didn’t hit the racket for this long they keep on playing and telling each other techniques that even the other barely knew (Literal trial and error). And even when they hit the cork, it flew in some other direction rather than where they were targeting.. In spite of this they motivated each other picking up the cork and giving it another try hoping this time somehow it would work and they would learn it.. But even though they didn’t  learnt it they went home happily and satisfied. Smiling cause they played and hoping that they will try again tomorrow and knowing that they will kn...

In the silence between the thoughts, I feel you In the breeze that touches me every time I stand with something in mind, I feel you In the certainty of future, I feel the you In the bad deeds that I did, I feel you  In the movement fading, I feel you In the comfort of birds chirping, I feel you In the beauty of sun setting and moon rising, I feel you The talk with my Amor and Amica, I feel you In all the I love you's, I feel you In the laughter and the tears around, I feel you I feel you here with me always I feel you in forever I know and forever I don't know I know you and I trust you, I love you and I feel you!
