Why being confused is not an end to the journey?

The confused status of the thing called life Life can be a beautiful vacation for someone while it can be a bed full of thorns for others. Life can also be beautiful and ugly at the same time. Everything depends on the situations and how one deal with it. Life is like a journey being embarked upon, and the ugly incidents like the bumps on the road, we despise them but never forget that it is a journey, we have to complete. We do not stop when we slow down because of the hurdle while travelling, then why do we think about stopping, when life throws challenges at us? We remain in a constant state of confusion when we are faced with life challenges. We question decisions, abilities and purpose of doing something. We think we are not worth it. We unintentionally stop our efforts when we start questioning.  Questioning our own abilities is like questioning if the fuel in our car is powerful to take our car to our destiny. You are an immense storehouse of energy and abilit...

An insightful analysis of ‘happiness’

We find happiness in small things, we find happiness in sweeping victories, we find happiness in meeting loved ones, and we find happiness in doing things we love. In short, we find happiness in a million ways. This also means that all a human brain strives for is happiness. Right from the day it starts functioning, it is on an endless pursuit to find happiness, in things, events, and people. We try to do our best during our lives, and, in turn, ask only one thing in return, i.e. happiness. If someone wants materialistic comforts, it is for happiness, if someone seeks company, it is to find the solace of happiness. All in all, everything we are working upon is linked to our happiness. It is the fundamental nature of a living being, to look for happiness. In life, we try to find a million ways which promise happiness in the real sense, but we may have done everything wrong in this pursuit altogether. How? Because of our corrupt brains which seek happiness on the outside. We...

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...

Happiness in every moment

Cell is the basic structure of life. Every human being we see is built up from innumerable number of cells. So, we can call it the building block of a human being. But, inside a human being, not everything is made from a cell. Yes, this is true. Some things in a human body and mind are so abstract, that we still haven’t been able to decipher, how they exist. One such phenomenon is emotions. Emotional quotient of a human being has a major role in the behavior of a human being. I may not be knowledgeable enough to measure the magnitude of emotional quotient in a person, but I surely can understand how a person feels and responds to a particular situation. Emotions play a pivotal role in one’s life as it defines how a person will feel and react to situations. Also, if a person carries positive emotions, he/she is ought to be a strong personality who is not perturbed with the struggles of life. But wait… Why am I explain this to everyone? Maybe because I am feel...

The Child in me….

Image Source A sweet, innocent smile greeted me today as I entered the overcrowded metro to reach my office on time. It was a routine activity for lacs like me to wake up, be ready and start running the rat race of life, everyday without fail. But today, when I looked at the cute face, I realized how things change with time. The smile was being reflected from a young face, which was enjoying an early morning outing with his mother. As he was clinging tight, it seemed that her mother was having a hard time to adjust in the brimming peak hour crowd. But the smile on his face did not vanish for a single second. I began to think that few years from now, when he grows up, maybe he might travel in the same metro amid the crowd, amid the rush and then maybe this smile would not be so natural, or will not exist at all. What was different in him and me? Age? But age is just a number isn’t it?? Then it must be the weight of responsibilities that I have on my shoulders. But wait? Wh...

No place to call home….

Image source:http://stuffpoint.com/nature/image/250515-nature-endless-journey.jpg My decision to move ahead in life was a bed of thorns in itself. I knew it would not be an easy journey to establish myself as a totally different person amongst a crowd of talented individuals, but I was firm in my resolve. I left behind everything, which a person calls own and set my foot on a rekindling journey, without a second thought.   That was an opportunity for me, a blessing which I sought for long. No prayer goes in vain; you just need to stand strong to show your dedication to your goal. The same was the case with me. The things I wished for long seemed in reach, from where I stood at that time…. It was like a dream come true… But no matter how big, happiness is always momentary. What is permanent is gloom… And to overcome the gloom and sadness that hides in the crest of our heart, persistence, patience and self-satisfaction is the key determinant. Everyone feels sadness ...

The heartbeat of India: Delhi…

‘India ka dil bole to Dilli’ Every city is known for something or the other. The minute intricacies, events, stories and tales make a city identifiable throughout the world and a city is etched with a number of such things. Every city has its heritage and is great in its own sense, made of great people, who make these cities, what they are. Delhi has quite a splendid history and it would not be wrong to say that the story of Delhi is the story of India. Delhi has experienced change since ages and the city which we see today is said to be built n number of times and destroyed again and again. This evolution has given the city a spirit, which knows how to fight and stand back. The peculiar ‘Dillwalo ki Dilli’ tag sometimes is found lost, but if we look at the heart, which is buried deep inside the congested streets of old Delhi, we still found a lot of flavors left, warmth which an individual yearns for. The congested lanes, the traffic, pollution is something people crib about...
