SLOW DOWN..!!

Waking up early, rushing to the workplace, working assiduously the entire day, coming back home fully exhausted and finally ending yet another day without having a word with family, without laughing your heart out at least once and without LIVING life. Just work,work and work. This is how majority of people spend their life or rather I would say waste their life. In a blink of an eye, your busy days slips into years and there you are on your deathbed, regretting for not having whale of a time and for not celebrating life.

We are living in a society where success is measured in terms of money. If you have a heavy bank account, congratulations, you are successful. How asinine! Since, nobody wants to lag behind in this race, they are running after money and chasing their VAGUE dreams."To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." is very well said by Oscar Wilde. All eyes are so fixed on money that they refuse to look around the exquisite world. It has become so difficult to even laugh and have a moment with your loved ones. But, life doesn't mean to live so seriously and so busy.


Its absolutely fine to have goals and dreams, but, enjoy the journey of achieving those goals. Look around you and you will find beauty everywhere. Spend time with your family, walk barefoot in garden, read deep books or do whatever that soothes your soul. Take pleasure in small things, you will make a big difference in life. Make memories because you earn money today, you will spend it tomorrow, but, if you make memories, they will be with you forever. Don't make plans to live your dream life in future because life is uncertain. This day can be your last day. Life can take an arduous path anytime. So, don't wait. Slow down and apply brakes to your busy life. Add some spice to your daily schedules and wait for that big change!

    Such thoughts now-a-days have actually no value...the truth is lesser number of people will agree with you.
    though i feel the same about life and journey as you have written here.

    Well! I know it is difficult to slow down for a while and enjoy life but this is the only way you can increase your productivity. Moreover, my work is to make people aware of what is right and what is not. To accept my advice or not to accept is totally up to you :)
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Keep Coming :)

RISKS- By Janet Rand

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.                                                                     The person who risks nothing, does nothing,  has                                                              ...

"I AM FINE THE WAY I AM"

Image
I was in a clinic and was waiting for my turn to consult the doctor. Since it was taking too long, I just got into a conversation with the receptionist. She told me one incident that surprised me and I was miffed too. The receptionist had a friend who was slightly healthy. She did not look that awkward, but her close friends teased her and advised her to shed some weight off. Now, that girl took it so seriously that she went on dieting for weeks and ultimately was admitted to a hospital where she died! Just imagine the extent to which people go just to get a letter of approval with the signatures of this society! We all have a bad habit that we want to be loved by all. We don't want our haters to exist and this is the main reason why we don't accept our imperfections. In this struggle of becoming a perfect person, we end up becoming a messy person. If you want the world to love you, there is no need to pretend and be fake. It just requires a simple action: you need to l...

DISCOVER YOURSELF

The stage was set. All lights were dimmed. Holding their breaths, were the ecstatic students and staff, jam packing the auditorium. All eyes were fixed on the stage. And then, I entered, the spotlight was on me. I was completely on tenterhooks. My blood was running cold as it was the first time I was breaking out of my shell and shedding a part of my so called "studious" image. Above all, I was the protagonist of the play. Pulling myself together, I delivered my monologue and the crowd went crazy, absolutely smitten by my acting. I also ended up receiving "Best Actress" award. At that moment , I was introduced to a new side of mine. I always thought that acting was a hard nut to crack for me but I DISCOVERED MYSELF that day. Same goes with my writing interest. Books are something that intrigue me a lot. But,writing was surely not my cup of tea, I used to think earlier. One day, I just happen to write something which was admired by all and so, I created this blog...

A MASK TO MASK THE REAL YOU!

Image
The sun climbed over the skyline. The rays streaming through the window, fell gently on Amit's face, disturbing him from deep sleep. After much wallowing in bed, he finally got up, already exhausted from the thought of going to a business party.  But, his despair melted down as he saw a huge shelf thrusted with books. His eyes gleamed and a wide smile, symbolising his love for books, flashed on his face, pushing away the sorrow. An hour later, Amit was all decked up, dressed up to the nines, sporting an immaculate black tuxedo, that he had apparently bought from his hard-earned money just to impress everyone. He looked in the mirror. Everything was perfect but, one thing was missing- the mask!  As soon as he put it on, he turned into the Amit of the people. The introvert and 'not a party lover' turned into a gregarious and a party person. The 'book lover' turned into the one who would say, "Books? How boring!". So, there Amit was at the pa...
