New Year, New Me??



So, it is that time of the year where people start to pen down their New Year, New Me to-do lists! 

 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS - Do they really matter? Are we really on par with what we planned a year ago? The ultimate truth is that, by the time we actual made up to those resolutions, we would have aged more than we could think of! One thing that we need to fathom is that we can never predict our future for we don't even know what's to befall us the next second. 


No matter how hard we strive to achieve those goals within a year, it is never going to be that easy nor will it meet up to our own expectations. A year may sound like eternity when bestowed with fresh 365 days, or 366 days, since it's a leap year. But when we actually step into it, it just speeds off!

 Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that nothing is to happen or change. Just that, we might not perceive the change. Time seems to fly by in a lightning pace, yet life progresses slowly and steadily. There might not be much of a change that we would have experienced from a day-to-day basis. But, when we look back to a year ago, so much would have changed.

Change is the very nature of life; all we have to do is welcome it. No man ever became newborn again; no book became paper; no tree became seed. Welcome change, and choose what kind of man you become, what kind of book you write, what kind of tree you gain shade from. Be resilient! It is one important quality that allows us to be knocked down by life yet get back stronger than we could ever imagine. Rather than letting failure overcome us and drain our determination, we should find a way to break free.


Having said what I have to say, the future that is ahead of us is something we have to endure regardless of anything; be it an ordeal or a pleasure. What I'm driving at is that when life hand us a lemon, let's not settle for a lemonade. If we want to pair it up with a shot of tequila, why not? Even if it does not turn out well, at least we can pat our shoulders for giving it a go! Instead of dwelling over the past and dreading over the future, embrace each day as it is. Let's allow today to teach us as many lessons as possible, and fill it with whatever our hearts desire; so that we can cherish the end of the annual cycle.
Happy New Year, folks! :)

Respect Is All It Takes..

We always claim to love someone so dearly, yet somehow or rather hurt them. We love our parents, but argue with everything they have to say. We love our children with all our heart but don't even have time to sit with them. 'I love you', we say! But, do we really mean it? Is love alone sufficient for us to live "happily ever after"? What is love when we can't even sit together for a little while? What is love when greeting good morning and good night is all we do? How is the feeling 'love' reasonable enough to carry on with life?  No! Mere love can't make us feel on cloud nine. For a little while; probably yes. Life-long? Certainly not! I'm not an anti-love person nor am I preaching the rest of the world to stop loving. I'm just stating a fact that many of us seem to turn a blind eye upon.  Let's start from the basic. A husband and wife relationship that is solely based on love doesn't take eternity to last. When they ...

The Beauty of 21st Century

Time and time again, the human mind never fails to allure me. It intrigues me how easily influenced our mind can be. Pessimistic influences from our peers are understandable at times; but we ourselves beguiling it? To say, "That's  beyond my understanding", is an understatement! More than that, it is surprisingly shocking to fathom how self-centred people have nurtured into. People are too beauty conscious and are always in pressure that society imposes. They let others define their beauty and this phenomenon, little by little, embeds into their subconscious mind. The way they look physically is never satisfying and, in turn, they gravitate to wanting more. A self-created image forms in the mind and they consistently keep comparing themselves to it. Flaws are the only trait that they see and calories are the only maths that they mastered in! Well, weighing scales, on the other hand, are the most dreaded equipment. Every time they stood in front of a mirror, they...

Why Suicide?

It blows my head off that we are almost heading towards the half-year mark. Doesn't time fly? Time simply flew and the olden days' memories stay fresh in our minds. Or rather, dark memories bug our soul! From the title itself you would have figured out that this is going to be either a controversial or a macabre topic.  I am indeed baffled with the multitudinous cases of suicides that made way to the headlines in no time. Of utmost honesty, I have read at least 9 cases of suicides in a matter of 3 months! My mind went on a roller coaster ride with limitless jerks and twists and turns. I started thinking, as always.  Why do people commit suicide?! That very question lead me to an extensive (approximately 2 months) research. After much needed browsing and readings, I would like to equate suicide to GIVE UP! People simply had given up love, hope, joy, trust, job, dignity, and most importantly; life. They get tired of facing failures, agitated with their...
