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 chocolate is more than enough to make a day. Chocolate has always been special to me. She lifts up my spirit and makes me strong. The myth is as chocolate melts so does our problems. It might sound stupid. But that’s was chocolate means to be me. I have always craved for her whenever I am depressed and down. I am of the opinion that few kilograms in your body are sometimes better than a few pounds in your heart. It is true that have I have gained a few kilograms. But it has helped me battle so many depressions in life.
Sometimes surfing also helps. Window shopping in my favorite sites like flipkart, jabong, etc. One of my favorite sites is Housing where I get different options for places to stay. Surfing clears my head and helps me understand the problem better.
Sometimes we need something bigger than chocolate. I was in a full on depression due to a lost relationship. I felt I was on the end of the world and life was not taking me anywhere. A friend, who I was not very close, wanted to meet me and I reluctantly agreed. Within minutes of meeting, I started to ramble. I am not in the rambling just to anyone. I felt like talking only because the person warm and could feel a lot of positive vibes
            After an hour or so, I felt light and better. I never knew an hour of talking who make me feel so better. It gave me a new friend and a lighter heart. I felt a major change in me. Sometimes people don’t realize or intent to lend a helping hand. Yet it just happens. Maybe it is way God has planned it. It makes us feel loved and fills your life with hope and optimism. Strange things happen, Even if life does not happen to be in the way we want. Still there is always light in the end of the dark path.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
