When nothing in life makes sense, when you feel lost in the polluted urban jungle which you call home, then you have to go back to your roots, the wilderness from where your species evolved. That place, those mountains from where you truly belong. After another difficult year , I decided to go for another […]
Desire, hope , expectations and aspirations are the driving forces of human civilization. If someone asks ,”who are you ?” What will be your answer? After contemplating it for few seconds you will get to know that your desire or aspiration is your description. Your success or failure in pursuit of your desire becomes your […]
Creativity is something which comes from an unconventional Mindset. From the beginning our minds are coded with rules , regulations and customs of the society.
If we learn a skill , we are hard wired to do it in a specific way. Therefore it’s difficult to innovate but those who dare to do so , more often than not become a sensation and people follow that afterwards. These people are highly creative but sometimes in order to become more creative people spoil the basic part.
So , creativity is quite difficult to follow. And for me too it came with difficulty. Whether in music or in sports I wasn’t able to do much because I didn’t dare to venture into unknown territories. I guess overthinking is the biggest enemy of creativity. When you overthink you mostly venture into negative mindset territory and come back to your usual path.
You can fail a few times if you venture into new territories but you should always have a strong faith to keep going. The world we see it now is purely because of few people who dared to venture into unknown territories. Their creativity built our modern world.
So break all the shackles that are stopping you and become who you are by being creative. You may fail a few times but you won’t have regrets that you didn’t try.
We are born as nothing. Then we embrace everything from our society and finally become a reflection of them. But what really stops us in becoming a bad version of our society?
Our Parents
They nurtured us, made us a better version of them and tried to give all the happiness of the world. But sometimes we lose our way, become arrogant or sometimes distressed.
In those moments if we are under their shadow or try to remember them, then their words come alive like a source of strength etched in our memories. And once again we stand up, correct ourselves and become what we truly are, a better version of them, our true identity .
This is the biggest positive influence on many of us . So whenever you feel you are lost just try to remember them or be in their company, it will surely help.

To Keep moving is the way of life. You face the worst of days but to get stuck and keep cursing those negative moments, only ruins everything good that might happen next.
Yes, it’s difficult to not give a damn about disappointing or sad moments but just keep one thing in mind-
You can’t change your past so just forget about that, so now what’s next you can do?
And just like that make plans for your next commitment. This will make you forget those negative moments with the hope of something better in the future.
When you are so engrossed in your work so much that you forget the passing of time, you live in the ‘Now’ without the worries of the past. That is true happiness which resides deep within.
For me, I feel most alive when I am travelling or when I am trekking in the mountains. It’s like a meditation in the wilderness of nature when your entire focus is on the tricky trails without the thoughts of past and future. Here ,your biggest reward or happiness is being present in the lap of mother nature.
Kedarkantha Trek is the most famous trek of the Indian Himalayas. It becomes a winter wonderland in the winter months (December to February) due to plenty of snow. Many take this trek as a pilgrimage because of various Legends related to Lord Shiva. The name itself is connected to Lord Shiva – Kedar means Shiv […]
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.
A man who stood tall,
Against the cyclone of time.
A man who stayed with his love,
Till her last breath,
And kept his promise.
The promise to be the mother,
To be the perfect father,
To their most beautiful creation,
Their kids….

Most of us believe that God has created us, but some skeptics want proof. I guess the biggest proof is always around you, they not only created you but also ensured that you grow up under their shadow to become a perfect image of them .
Yes, they are your parents, they are living Gods around you. They are the epitome of sacrifice , a perfect example that God not only takes care of you but also forgives you if you lose your way.
Exactly 13 years ago ( quite a coincidence with this prompt) my mother took her last breath. She was suffering from kidney failure. My father stayed with her till the end like a pillar.
He used to stay all night with my mother when she felt the pain after every dialysis to give her comfort and in the morning without any sleep he attended his office duties . My mother in her last days was extremely worried about me and my 2 sisters and so my father promised her to be the perfect parent to their kids.
Since then that man has ensured everything in the world for his kids. Like a mother he cooked food for his kids, like a father ensured the safety of his kids and like a God stayed with his kids in their bad days.
It’s quite impossible for me to give back everything to him but I will try my best to be a perfect son. I guess you should worship your parents every day, a time also comes when that baton is passed on to you to become an image of them.
An element of that light is there in all of us and it’s up to us how soon we recognise or realise about that .
Expectations are the biggest enemy of humankind. Whether you expect from your loved ones or from yourself, your wishes hardly come true. It’s like a cage you want to put on yourself or on others to get the desired outcome.
But life always gives you surprises. It doesn’t run according to you. You can see dreams, work hard for it but it is not necessary that it will come true. Disappointments are the result of expectations.
You should follow your path of karma religiously but you should never worry about the result. Let the future comes the way it is. Let life take you where it wants to. Give it scope to show you its colours. Mind you it always has something good for you.
I always have resolutions for the upcoming year, I am able to follow some of them but I never expect anything from the future. I Just try to live the moment that is passing now.
Let’s make our ‘Now’ as beautiful as possible and these moments in the present will surely make our future bright.
