A LETTER TO LIFE!

Image
Dear Life, You are a 4 letter word just like love, lust, hate loss, fate... (Okay! Not  my dialogue but taken from "4 more shots, please!"). You are exhausting at times and I just feel like giving up. You throw more tantrums than I have ever known possible (even more than my best friend, really). You slow down, you speed up, you take time and give time. Sometimes there is sunshine and other times there are storms. But I really wonder at the thought of how you are so fragile yet so beautiful!  So tragic yet so happy! How you can be completely two opposite thing yet have meaning! I guess that's your beauty! So I try to break it up a little, take risks, love a lot and try to find comfort in trying new things. But you are never the same. You are always changing, always keeping me guessing. So I try to live you to my absolute potential. To which I mostly fail! But you know as I say "JEEWAN CHE! JEEWAN MA BADHU THY" (It's life, and many things keep on  happening i...

Passion, Love and Happiness

Image
Passion, love and happiness share a very close relationship.However, the relationship is not as simple as it may seem. Passion works in dual modes : Harmonious and Obsessive, depending on how the passion is associated with the person's identity. Obsessive passion is toxic and self destructive. The sense of excitement derived from it is so uncontrollable that it has the tendency to take over your life, your relationships and your identity. Conversely, Harmonious passion is characterized by more restraint and self awareness. The activity occupies a significant but not overpowering space in your identity and is in harmony with other aspects of your life. Two movies depict this.. Tamasha n YJHD. When I saw Tamasha, I thought that Ved is who Bunny would have become had he not pursue his passion of travelling the world They're both characters so strongly associated with their passions, that they'd crumble if you take it away. We experience Bunny's journey as he dreams and liv...

" HAPPINESS CAN BE FOUND EVEN IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES IF ONE REMEMBERS TO TURN ON THE LIGHT" - Professor Albus Dumbledore In the tragic times where we cannot find positivity or happiness is when we seek resort to fiction and remember to turn on the light! With all the mental health campaign going around I cannot help but think that ofcourse we should have people whom we talk to about anything and everything in life but of most we should be able to talk to God and our own inner self! Believe me alone time is much needed! And if you cannot find peace in this look around mother nature does have many elements to talk to and find peace and happiness in! Believe me! No matter what you are going through in life or anyone does understand or does not understand you or you think that your life is over! That cool breeze will give you calmness you need, that rain will still make you happy, the child on the opposite side of the road playing carelessly will give your inner child a nudge al...

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!

10 Things I Know to be True..

Image
I was randomly binge watching YouTube when I came across a poet name sarah kayle, in her video she said that the first think she tells to crowd who came to learn how to write, is pen down "10 things I know to be true" (as a list only, coz they are begginers) if not this than jottling down any 10 things that matter or you should have learnt etc.  And what happens further is you would discover that if we all started sharing our lists out loud.  At a certain point, you would realize that someone has the exact same thing, or one thing very similar, to something on your list. And then someone else has something the complete opposite of yours. Third, someone has something you've never even heard of before. Fourth, someone has something you thought you knew everything about, but they're introducing a new angle of looking at it. And this is where great stories start from..  P.S. - It's a fun exercise.. i did it with my people.. you wou...

Taste of freedom

TED TALKS since long when I started searching for answers that my parents, teachers and books cannot provide have been my diplomatic teacher.. and I specifically say DIPLOMATIC.. They make me think, wonder and aspire. After these 3 exercise together I am pretty sure any human would either end up being more confused or satisfied of seeing such a motivating piece, same happens with me and I just hope with many others too.  TED TALKS make me sure of one thing so far that everyone has atleast one such idea worth spreading to millions. We just need know our own topics or idea. In a recent TED TALK by ELIF SHAFAK she told: " And I think for writers, readers and for storytellers, at the end of the day, there is one main homeland, and it's called "Storyland." And the taste of that word is the taste of freedom." As much I have read ELIF'S work I know her choice of words are not such which makes her work free flow or lucid but they undeniably leave impact and you wil...
