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...

" 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...

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...

Strive to be talented not famous

Image
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 a...

YUHI CHALA CHAL RAHI!!

A very underrated yet soothing n motivational song.. which makes you dance to it's tune & leaves you with a smile, hope and faith. As what I take it, it is an conversation between man as traveller and god.. and I feel the traveller as me or every other human. The song starts by god pushes the traveller by saying is to continue the journey just as we are going and says us that you are perfectly where you should be.. and also asks us to enjoy the nature along the way & take solace there when tired.. "BADI RANGEEN HAI YEH DUNIYA!" The traveller says that the road on which he is travelling feels like he is just about to meet someone.. his heart goes through many emotions and he feels as of he is going to meet someone very special.. one whom he has wished for a quite long time..  The god just asks him to no matter what continue the journey and says him.. "AANSU KI NADIYA BHI HAI, KHUSHIYO KI BAGIYA BHI HAI" and tell him that all...

Dreams

Image
When you are a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want yo go. There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, fairy tales, Happy endings and in possibilities. Then you grow up and the innocence within us is shattered (or I say murdered) and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by a realization that you cannot be all that you wanted to be. And you settle for less or a variation of the dream. Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let the history of someone, facts and figures and anything but the dream rule our life? Don't you think our mind should change? NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. Our dreams are there within us all the time. Might be we just need to reach out far enough for them!! Inspired by: Love, rosie
