Lost in the crowd


At various points of this continuously running life, each one of us come to a point where we feel stuffed. Stuffed because we see a number of people around us, people who are successful, the achievers, looking at whom we always feel low because we are not at their level of success.
The people whom we see all around us, make us feel lost in the crowd, not even like the ones in the same crowd. We simply feel left out of this world, just because we begin to feel that we are not a part of this crowd. We are then left to believe that we are left behind to a place, where no one even bothers to look at us. This situation arises at various points, because of our failures, and also because we over expect from ourselves. We make ourselves believe that we can do this and that and even more than that, which rise our own self expectations. And as we move on, without fulfilling our own expectations, we feel lost and left behind. In this process, what we are doing is just losing our own self confidence. We gain self-confidence when we start believing in the power of our dreams and feel successful in our own eyes. But in reality, what we do, is just compare our own abilities with others in the world, and during this comparison, we feel lost because we feel not much powerful than the other one.
This is just because we are not him/her, but we are just ourselves. Our ability is our own and that is why we are unique. This inequality in the caliber and confidence make us feel lost because we are not able to find someone similar. We always end up saying that he/she has much greater salary or a big house but we forget to be thankful to what we have. Do we ever find ourselves saying that I have a salary which caters to my needs? Or do we say that no matter how much big house anyone might have, I have the perfect set of people with me to make my house a home, a place to which I can feel attached?
No, we never ever thank the life for giving us what we have…
That is why we end up feeling lost in this crowd…..
We also end up running faster like the crowd which focus more and more the success and materiality in the life and end up showing gratitude in our life. We end up being thankful, that is why we end up being lost. In this success hungry world, we forget to look at the smaller things of happiness in life.
We do not feel grateful that is why we are lost
We do not adjust with the flow that is why we feel backward
We find no one to push up ourselves that is why we feel low

First be grateful, then earn confidence…. Then motivate yourselves and see your dreams take off to greater height in the future……

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

Yuun to mein - Hindi Poem

After days of being in solitude and calm, my mind took inspiration from these famous lines and my pen started working to complete a piece in the form of a poem.  ' Yuun to mein tanhaa hi tha safar mein Log judte gye karwaan banta gya….' Kuch mili apni si shaksiyatein Aur unke hi sahare me aage bdhta gaya… Sikha mene bahut iss safar mein… Naa jaane kyu fir bhi me pichadta gya… Jo sath nibhate chale sang mere… Unse hi me zindagi jeena sikhta gya… Ek aasra mil sa gya tha uss karvaan ki chaav mein Aisa laga jaise hu mein samundar ko cheerti naav mein Jaana tha naa mene tab Ki ye karvaan bhi chhalava sa hai Is kaarvaan ka sahara sabko hai Par apna yha koi na hai Khud par shaq to kabhi na tha Kabiliyat par ek anjana sa yakin sat ha Koshish ko apni kamm na karunga Apni manzil ko rahunga me dhundhta Kal ko ye kaarvaan rahe na rahe sang mere Manzil ko apni mein paake rahunga Koi ho ya na ho sang sath dene ko Sukoon ki chaav me ek...
