Our minds are coded and programmed by society in a way that we always hope for a bright future, without doing anything substantial in the present.
In fact there is no future if we don’t sow its seeds in the “Now”. It’s like growing a plant by sowing a seed ,watering and taking care of it every single day. Then hoping for the outcome.
Hope resides in the coming ‘Now’ . If you have done your part in the present then you can expect everything bright to follow. I am always excited to face the fruit of my hardwork though I don’t hope much as I haven’t always got the desired result.
Contentment is my only solace where I take a deep breath and say to myself, ” maybe one day”.
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

You work hard for something and you don’t get desired results.
You love someone wholeheartedly and you don’t get the same love.
You help someone in need and when you ask for help , you never get.
Heartbreaks , pain , disappointment, frustration all are born out of expectations, one of the biggest reasons you are not able to live your life happily.
Let it go , all the expectations are mere seeds to unsettle you. You can have all the peace, happiness, satisfaction if you just think you have given everything you can , maybe you don’t get the same vibrations but your smiling face is happy enough to not feel the pain life can give you.
You are in harmony with the universe and you will adapt to whatever direction it will try to mould you.
A tiny glow in the dark,Shivering with the cold wind.Tormented, scared to surrender ! A struggling ray in the dark Dented and stabbed to limp , Trembles by holding his heart ! A tiny will in the dark,Waging a war with his broken sword, Tries to vanish an army of dark! A fading spark in the dark, Ignites the hopes […]
I recently planted sunflower seeds and it grew very fast. I guess within one and a half months the plant gave flowers. But what I noticed throughout its growth was that the bud took many days to fully bloom.
Once it bloomed the flower continued to bloom for many days without withering. It shows that nature has its ways of educating us. You just have to obey it and listen to its whisper.
While your hardwork takes time to fully bloom ( success )but once it blooms it stays and heals all the pain you have gone through .
Like a sunflower , You shined in the darkness To bring joy to the world around. Like a sunflower, You fought with the turmoil That bruised you within And your feet on the ground . Even the time cannot bend you, As you push it under your feet. Your life ignites with your will, And not with any illusory evil..
We all have our superstitions about the first day of the year and the most famous of them is that we end up doing the same things again and again throughout the year which we do on the first day.
So it is mandatory for me to write today . I hardly posted last year and I don’t think my superstitions work. Anyways, the beginning of the year always lifts up the spirit and it’s better to write now. A few more minutes passes and this post will also end up in the draft.
Lately, if you are reading my blog these days, you will know I have started opening up about my imperfections. I become anxious pretty quickly and every now and then I get a reason to procrastinate.
I know if you overthink,you will end up doing nothing. I know you should do things just for the sake of doing them without thinking much. Well 30s is a kind of age when you know you aren’t doing right(or probably doing nothing) but still you don’t change your course. It is like you have become a robot who refuses to budge outside his code. Maybe that’s a midlife crisis or maybe something else.
Resolutions to improve
Anyways, one more year to look forward to. I will try to improve and will not set up big goals (as they make me anxious). Small goals will do. Some of them could be
Exercise more
Read more
Write and blog more
Think less
Travel more
Apart from this , I will try to fight my biggest enemy- procrastination ( who is already cursing me for writing this post)
Thank you for reading, I hope you are not bored. I will try to improve my writing too….
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 […]
