Believe in Yourself


When we want something with all our heart, that's when we are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force. This force drives us towards our goals and gives us enough scope to achieve them. But there are certain facts that should be cleared before following them blindly and to avoid the misconceptions. I believe the only way through which we can reach the zenith of our ambitions and goals is to be first crystal clear about them!
In our heart and soul we should be very clear about what we want and it should not be subject to any kind of conditions; One has to be firm enough whether they want it to make it happen or not and if thats your mission, then there should be no turning back. There is no doubt that every goal is like a voyage in the turbulent ocean and it is full of storms and tempting smooth sails in towards safe harbors. You may have to sacrifice a lot of things/moments/relationships on your way forward and to get enough strength on how to overcome it; I believe following are the essentials:

Commitment

Personal responsibility

Honesty

Determination

These traits guide us through thick n thin. They are the parameters which help us take decisions and identify what is important. I don’t know about others but whatever I have “really” wanted in my life and had invested my efforts into knowingly or unknowingly, have always achieved it, then may be i was not in a position to accept it but yes if you put sufficient efforts then the soul of this world which is still a positive force will help you. There is a force whose mission is to guide us towards our goals and realize our dreams.

We often worry about the consequences of the actions we undertake. And yes it is necessary to give it a thought till some extent. But over investment of resources where they are not required is also not a good deal.


I would like to share a passage of a story from the Alchemist involving a great Seer and a farmer which I found worth sharing:
There was a farmer who always was too keen in knowing the future. One day, the oldest Seer, the farmer had ever sought out had asked why he was so interested in the future. Then Farmer said.. Well so I can do things, "And so I can change those things that I don't want to happen."
"But then they wouldn't be a part of your future," the seer had said.
Farmer replied "Well, maybe I just want to know the future so I can prepare myself for what's coming."
"If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the Seer. "If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."


So with this I would like to conclude my write up about our ambiguities we face in life regarding taking decisions for future or crimping about our past. The ball is always is in out court and even if it is beyond our visions (that may also turn out as an opportunity for new horizons.)

We can't always WIN and we can't loose every time as well. Winning is a life time journey which is full of adventures and misadventures. Whenever you start an adventurous journey you just have to move ahead with all the good and bad experiences. The ultimate goal is to complete the journey and interestingly you don't know what your destination is. It's upon you when you decide that your adventure is over and you completed it successfully. And, there you WON.

la vita è mistero


One day i might not be feeling what I am feeling today, one day i might not be mad at things happening in my life, one day i might not bother about little details at which i get frustrated and sad, one day i might not take things with so much pain as i m taking them today but one thing which i don't want to change about myself anytime in my lifetime and that is my tendency of loving people and moments.

People say God made mother coz he couldn't be present everywhere, then i don't understand why he took away my mum so early... didn't I deserved her love n i never felt God's presence either. Anyhow without wasting my time on questioning whether god really exists or not. Yes, I do believe in gods but that is only coz of my mum....she believed in them and I pray n do little things in worship only for her, thats why i always ask for others in prayers. There have been instances when i had traveled hundreds of kilometers in the name of worship and peace but whenever i reached the destination I asked God to bless someone else. I don't want to change this in ME.

My thoughts are always random as random as this blog is. I don't know whether someone will ever feel the delights of a gud reader's experience while browsing through my blog but m sorry I can't help it. If you want to read anything about me, then it would be always random....so plz cope up with it.

Just feel like writing something about love, of course everyone has their share of love in their lives and I too had privilege of it. Its beautiful, its peaceful but above this love is full of pain and if you mix it with self centered favours then it will become dangerous and complicated.

Never expect in love, believe me it pollutes the sacred feeling and it has a habbit of punishing in harsh ways, so beware whenever you tend to get away from the track. I remember when i was a little kid i loved dancing, and once during the audition of the annual fest i got that compliment from one of my senior that i was the best dancer from my age group and I still remember the delight of it. That was a selfless love, I used to dance for two reasons one becoz i simply loved dancing and secondly that I used get a chance to wear those traditional dresses (since i love dressing up especially in traditional Indian outfits and makeups).

As years passed my love for sports grew, i still remember my dad used to make me sit n see all the steffi graf's matches and from that time she is the only tennis player i love watching. I liked many sports there were no favorites rather i feel i loved the spirit of sportsmanship, I loved the enthu and excitement while playing for not only winning but to give a gud satisfying innings be it any sport. Though I never excelled in any sports but I can proudly say that I have all the qualities of a gud sportsman and that has helped me to become a better person indeed.

Now those school n college days are long bygones. Its been 4 yrs since i left my regular studies, there was a time when I used to love studying not to get high marks in exams but to gain knowledge and because i enjoyed studying, Today I am too much confused to decided over the subject that I want to study. :O :|

People say it happens in this age group of 25 around you get confused and often think about finding purpose of life, In a way its gud to explore one's depths but at the same time its really challenging to make ur own calls, But then this is the true independence of a being. Independence doesn't comes from financial security or free will to do anything, It actually lies in taking your boat towards the direction from where you get the call when your boat is sailing on a safe route out in the ocean. Independence comes when you are able to gain the confidence to take your life where your inner soul is projecting it.

I dunno whether I am making any sense here but I have so far managed to understand this If i want to be happy and satisfied in life then I will have to listen to my soul. though its too confusing and aimless at the moment but there is no other way I can live ...its suffocating.

Nostalgia


Whenever I listen to this song "Kaise Batayei" in Kailash Kher's voice, it invokes the typical emotional vinny whome very very few people really know and understands. Its one of the purest lyrics sung in one of the most mesmerizing voice I ever heard. Anyhow I am not here to talk about the greatness of Kailash's voice or of the lyricist... no doubt both are great but that is not relevant to my thoughts, so lets leave it here.

Today I am here almost after 3 months to update my personal blog about some of the things i can share here. As I promised that there will be lots of travelling and adventures carried out in coming times....well that happened but it dint involve the physical exploration of new places rather i did some soul searching intentionally n unintentionally too. I guess i m going thru one of the most confusing and testing phase of my life so far. Earlier times used to be tough but never confusing. Over some time now I have known myself better...came to know about some hidden things that i never expected that I'll do! It was worth exploring and sometimes embarrassing to know that i could be that weak. Never-mind we all learn to stand only after falling down and thankfully I was surrounded by some of the best souls with pure intentions of helping me out. I will always be thankful to them.

Life is long, life is tough and it would be always full of pain no matter what i achieve, no matter where I go.....this I'm sure of now. dunno why but i always find myself in some extra ordinary situations where i tend to take the decisions which generally people shy away from taking up...may be coz of my strength to stand by my beliefs( sometimes these beliefs are baseless, yet i decline to accept it :|) or may be because i have a habit of being adamant of doing things for which i have made up my mind.

This journey will be continuing since this is just the beginning and I hope when I will reach my destination I will be satisfied about what i achieve regardless of what i lost and be proud of how i sailed through it. afterall it is journey that matters not the destination.

Buss yar isse jyada der tak mai serious nahi reh sakti ... i ve a defaulter gene which keep getting charged up after regular intervals to cheer me up with mischiefs :)

Cheers all!
