Time oh time!

"I wanted to complete it but I never seemed to have enough time." We might get irritated hearing this ageless excuse from others, but the bitter truth remains that each and every one of us easily let ourselves be handicapped by the so called constraints of time. We would love to do a million different things every single day but ultimately, we are perfectly content to let it stay the way it is , a dream. And we chose to place the blame upon the merciless, but never complaining frenemy, time.We often complain that time just seems to slip past our fingers and never seem to know how the hour hand moved so much without our noticing."If only I could have gotten the time to do this yesterday" is nothing more than what it tries in vain to disguise, an excuse.

 Why do we succumb to our laziness(very prominent in my case), our tendency to delude ourselves into thinking that some things can be postponed to eternity? But, what we fail to foresee is that the twinges of regret that engulf us by showing the "what could have beens" can never be postponed...In such cases, the moaning and moping that inevitably arrives chips away at more precious hours of our already limited time. This endless and vicious circle never ceases to wreak havoc and so we continue our lives, without the peace and happiness that we crave..

 Will there ever be a way out of this? Sure there will be, for how much ever we seem to lament about not getting things done or not living our lives the way we ought to , if ever there was one in the first place, we seem to at least not come to a full standstill...

 Nevertheless, the trick is to just push ourselves with the much needed determination keeping the final goal as a prize to win at any cost and to just keep going on and on and on for when we reach our destination, the joy awaiting us will be unparalleled.. And it should be kept in mind that no goal is big or small for every achievement gives us the impetus to move forward... And when we do this, not even time can keep us from getting to where we want to be...

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...
