Everyone is just a stranger.

Can we really know someone? Can we really say we know a person inside out unless we understand what makes them 'them' and unless we know each tiny bit of what happened in their lives? The more people I meet, the more I realize how little I know. About people. About the world. When your friends come to you and share with you something that bothers them some trouble of their life and ask you for a solution you give them your advice just painting over the old tiny pieces collected from some small observation you made about them their life or from your own life. But is this right? When people ask you to enlighten a path for them should you really tell them what you think is right? Do you know enough about them to tell them anything at all.. Life is making me humbler. It is showing me each day I cant get more wrong if I judge people. Judging anybody on what they say do or think is the worst mistake i can ever make. It is impossible to say what makes someone what they a...

Race is long. In the end, it is only with yourself.

When I came here and I began to meet all these people, heard their stories, observed just how talented everybody is, it overwhelmed me.  ’You walk with your head held high with confidence brimming to the top and you reach a place feeling you have finally achieved what you wanted to. But the race isn’t over yet.’ Everybody I met somehow just seemed to have more of what is required than I have. It seemed like they already knew so much more, as if we just began the race and they are already ten steps ahead.  Standing at this point you really begin to question everything you thought about yourself. All the pride you took in your achievements. You begin to think, why are you here? Why did they take you and put you here? With these people! You believed in yourself, in the challenges that you have faced and the person you became. After all that hard work you put in to evolve, to grow, here you are, thinking probably all of that meant nothing. It freaks you out. It terrifies you i...

What if I was dead? The "Unsuccessful-suicide" note

Image
How do I feel right now? A) Contented B) Blessed C) Propitious D) All of the above Answer? D. I am very happy today. More than happy. Reasons? Too many But you know what is it that I think about on this joyous day? I am thinking what if I were dead right now? What if I had killed myself that day when I wanted to? What if I had given up when I so much wanted to? And what if I didn't wake up next day when I so much did not want to? Unlike all other what ifs that we keep weighing in our heads each day, these what ifs have an answer The answer is that I would have missed out on this day. I would not have seen the day when I am carefree, gleeful, strong and almost euphoric.. I was the person I loathed the most back then.. I am the person I love the most today! What changed? Wrong question. Who changed? Much awaited question..  I did Dear tearful pain stricken poor little girl aka past "ME" I am thankful to you for you took that chance on the present "ME...

Unless you know what you truly want.

I am going through a stage in my life where I have to make some of the most important decisions. Just when I feel over-burdened with this responsibility, weighing each possible option and their consequences I began to realize how fortunate we are who have the chance to get to choose. Only sometimes you get a choice. Because there are times choices are made for you and there are those times too when you have no choice at all. If you are one of those lucky few who have this chance to choose you will often see yourself standing at the face of a fork end of the road. And suddenly the great lines by Robert Frost run through your mind.. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both" The question still lies there. Which one should I take. One road takes us on the path of fight and other takes us on the path of a flow. First one will challenge you each day offering a battle in order to reach the final end and the second one is the peaceful ...
