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.

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. ...

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 ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
