Intro

Growing up.... Many of us have fantasized that growing up would be the ultimate bliss... We would be able to take charge of our own life, live it on our own terms...  but the actual bitter truth is that growing up is synonymous to coming to grips with reality....  It involves dealing with hard,  cruel stuff with no time to breathe...  That beautiful bubble has burst now and we have no choice other than trying our level best and keep our neck above the water.... Yeah I know....  too depressing but life is not a bed of roses...  Still each day...  every day...  we learn something.....  we realise something and we also find something which helps us to keep going on......

To like or not to like

Why ever do I have this insane need to be liked by nearly everyone I meet? It is bad enough that I subject myself to a ruthless introspection day in day out,  I invite others to do it for me too. We might totally agree with the fabulous ideals of being one's own person and vow to love ourselves no matter what. But, at the end of the day, we are just lying to ourselves and climbing up the ladder of hypocrisy. Each person is entitled to their own opinion after all, however utterly biased and ridiculous they may be. But, it is vital to remember one thing, in this highly complicated and unbelievably unfair game of chances that life is, there are more wonderful things to trust our heart with each day. We may be presumptuous, hot-tempered, immature or even hopelessly wrong on all counts but fortunately or unfortunately, we are human.And, even if this incessant worrying and this uncalled obsession does not warm us to many, at least it shows that we care. And all said and done, what mat...

The Shakti within us

  There is a power beyond comprehension and logic that thrives on belief alone. It spans across countries and religion but the undeniable truth is that it is bigger than humanity itself. The reverence attributed to gods and goddesses is an essential part of Indian culture and tradition. The captivating presence of Goddess Shakti reverberates far and loud across temples and innumerable Indian homes. Stories of the many embodiments of the almighty goddess find their relevance even today making them immortal. Goddess Durga who was created by the combination of the powers of the Lord Brahma , Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva was victorious in ending the reign of terror of the demon Mahishasura. Goddess Bala Tripurasundari , portraying a young innocent girl valiantly defeated a demon who preyed on the vulnerability of women. Any story about Indian Goddesses is incomplete without the mention of Goddess Kali whose righteous rage successfully vanquished the Demon Rakhtabheej. Goddess Kali ensu...

Slow Life or No Life

The whole purpose of working hard and studying harder is to have a successful career when, hopefully we can finally start to relax. Not to burst the bubble, but simplicity lies in perception and not in fact! In other words, the road to success and the ensuing journey is hardly as simple as it may seem. Eventually, every eager traveler ends up falling into either of two destination potholes: a no-time-to-breathe life or a monotonous life. Each has its own undeniable perks as well as disappointments, yet the bottom line is that happiness has once again taken a humble backseat. Is having a monotonous life that bad or are we miserable simply because we just cannot help but get trapped in the clutches of comparison?   Blatant continuous comparison with our peers, analyzing each and every aspect of ours and their stress-riddled lives to the point of sheer insanity. Having balanced working hours with enough time to relax with family and do something you love can surely not be detrimenta...
