Torn apart in different directions

What do you do when your faith is shaken What do you do when your belief is said to be wrong What happens if that is the basis of your life What do you do if you world is turned upside down Do you silently accept the change Do you become resistant Does this make your life better How do you adapt to it I feel like I am being pulled apart I am confused about the direction to go Sometimes A new path seems a better idea I might be bad to both And feel less gulity I may get lost But does it matter to be Torn apart in different directions

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...

Live the moment - A Happiness Mantra

The world is full of surprises and of course, shocks. We are put in situations where we forget to smile and frown becomes a permanent part of our face and life. But then, too much of anything does not make life interesting. Life is a mixture of all things, smile, tear, anger, success, frustrations and many more. Life has not been fair to me and it always vice versa also. I was also not smart enough to understand or accept life. But change is the only thing constant in life. And growth happens whether we like it or not. Growth is generally all rounded, emotionally, physically and also spiritually. A yoga class made a change in my life. It was unexpected and strange. The change was refreshing and gave me different perspective of life. They taught me the most valuable lesson of my life Live the moment is my new mantra. Every minute of our life is unpredictable. Nothing is permanent in our life. Neither smile nor tear is permanent. Nothing actually lasts. But that does not mean we ...

True colours during Gray times

How do u define a friend By the amount of time we spend with them By the amount of time we spend thinking of them How do u decide a friend By the work they do By the background they come from By their character By their social status Or by your instinct I always decide a friend by my instinct I define a friend not by the amount of time spent with them But the quality of time spent Spending even five minutes of time with them Should create a impact or make a change Even a smile or a tear is worth the time spent with them Does not necessarily mean we will develop world economy or something Just a word or touch to warm a cold heart or day The most basic requirement in the world Is always very simple Its just the feel of feeling loved A friend can make us feel that Whether we spend time with them or not But this does not mean we always make the right choices Some hasty decisions lead to heart breaks Sometimes instincts also fail us The true test comes in times of ...

Fear Not, I am with you

Fear not, I am with you These are your words for me Whenever I am depressed or lost Just that I don't feel it sometimes your presence That does not mean i dont trust you Or my faith in you is diminishing Its just that I am losing hope Not in you But in me and life I am not sure of where life is taking me And I so insecure and lost The loneliness engulfs me And stops me from trusting Sometimes I feel myself gasping for oxygen And searching for some light Your words strengthen me Yet Life throws so much at me And the weight is so much for me to bear And I feel weak again

Light in the end of a dark path

Optimism is not only a vital part of our life. It also forms the basis of our being. It is something which is equally important as oxygen. Sometimes do not understand the importance of optimism. Life has a lot of unexpected turns and twist. Sometimes these turns are not exciting and pleasing as always. Life’s base rule always has been except the unexpected . Optimism is like two sides of a coin. The good news is that optimism is generated internally and we always have a reserve of positivity in us. Except a few pessimists, all of us are programmed to be optimists. We are always trained to see the positive side of life. We try to move on with whatever life throws at us. The bad news is that positivity does not always spring up when needed. There are points in life when we feel lost and scared. We reach a place where all ways seem blocked. We need an external factor to boost us up. Just that the size of the boost up differs based on the situation we are in. Sometimes a chocolat...

Every decision has an equal reaction

Every decision in life has an equal reaction. This can be good or bad. The decisions can make a significant change in our life.   Some changes can leave a scar and also make us stop from taking decisions.   This can make our life stagnant. My career has always had its ups and downs. I was never clear what I wanted in my career. Nothing interested me and I found it difficult to stick to a job. I had a certain set of expectations. I wanted the job to interesting, exciting and thrilling and wanted a lot of stress. More important I wanted my job to keep me busy and happy. The biggest expectation of all was love for the work I do, a sense of satisfaction. I wanted to try all kinds of jobs before settling for one. Sounds stupid, right? But that is how I started my career. After some interesting jobs, some boring jobs, I finally settled to a job which I liked. I happily settled into a media relations job. The job was a mixture of everything I wanted , It gave me opportunity t...

A dedication to a person who made my day special

Every day in life is a challenge. Be it small or big, we have to spend a lot of energy to win it and keep going.   We don’t succeed in all challenges. Life is not just roses and smiles. It also has a fair amount of failures and thorns. The failures can either be a stepping stone or just a part of experience. Nevertheless, the energy we spent remains the same.  Be it getting a local train to office Be it finishing your targets on time     Be it balancing your work and family Even be it finding your favorite food I am a marketing professional and every week was full of drama of running about for completing of targets, balancing life and work, stealing some time for myself and tired short weekends. I found myself being exhausted and worn out every week end. After a point of time, I realized that it was difficult to regain the lost energy on Monday mornings. Monday is meant to be gloomy since eternity and mine is not an exception. Like the sweet rain...
