What do you enjoy most about writing?

Writing is something which gives you strength if you are feeling weak. It makes you feel better as if the words on the paper want to share your tears. It is nothing but it is everything.

Writing is something which pours emotions of the heart or the light of the mind on the paper.

It becomes your perfect teacher when you just want to focus and try to give your best on the paper. In this way you forget about all the worries of life, a perfect meditation.

Writing becomes even more powerful when it finds its reader. The impact that writers can have on their readers can truly change the world we live in. And so writers should always choose his words wisely.

For me, writing is meditation just like reading. It makes me forget about a bad day in the office , also it makes me truly present in the ‘Now’. And yes to become a good writer you should read more.

Your Reactions give you peace.

What brings you peace?

When people listen to you, respect you for what you have done to them , gives you a lot of contentment and peace.

When you help people, respond to them kindly in spite of them shouting at you angrily, gives you peace.

Yes, it is difficult to be kind and compassionate ,especially to those who only want to disturb you. But staying calm in such situations only makes you stronger and the other person weak.

Regret only comes from negative reactions, positive reactions only give you peace when you think about it after sometime. So never ever underestimate the power of goodwill, kindness and compassion.

Things or Experience

List 30 things that make you happy.

Near Joshimath

Well if you seek happiness in 30 material things, then you can never be happy at all. I truly believe that true happiness comes from experience rather than things.

Traveling, trekking, walking or even playing a sport can give you true joy. Material things can only give you temporary happiness which fades away pretty quickly .

I truly feel alive when I am traveling or trekking. That feeling when your heart is pumping while the cold wind coming from the mountains kisses your face in the presence of a roaring river nearby .

And your eyes passes the message of the greenery around directly to your soul. You are nothing but a speck of the beautiful creation. Your heart , mind and soul truly get aligned to feel that moment of happiness.

No material things can give you that divine happiness.

Habits I enjoy most

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Somewhere in Himachal Pradesh

I really like to trek or hike in the shelter of nature. Apart from this, I love to read and write (mostly blogging).

Sometimes I play guitar and sing too, this was my favourite hobby but as time passed  I became distracted towards other hobbies and it became a passive hobby.

The real purpose of these habits or hobbies is to make you feel alive so that life feels like a gift and not a burden. It really makes you live and enjoy the present moment without the worries of the past and future.

So just like me, keep yourself busy by doing something you love most and if you are bored with one , try something else but never sit idle in your free time.

I am who you Imagine

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

At Alpathar lake

 

Like a whimsical wind,

Flowing from the mountains,

Down to the  jungle of green,

Whispering to the souls ,

Freeing them of the earthly burden,

I am who you imagine,

Free from every attachment,

But loves to roam

Where your heart,

Finds your soul…..

And your tears,

Find your loving emotions….

I am who you love to imagine….

My feet want to sing more

singhpiyush60892 Comments

What are your future travel plans?

Buran Ghati

My feet want to feel it again,

The snowy trail to the sky above.

Or the wet greens of the meadows,

Before it sleeps forever….

My feet want to push it again,

Beyond the pain and bruises,

Through the forest and bushes,

Farther, a little bit more….

My feet want to sing with my heart,

The song of mountains and seas,

To the north and south,

From the earth to heaven…..

I want to trek more and push myself to higher altitudes in the Himalayan region. For that I am working more on my fitness. I also want to explore more of the untouched Himalayas in the coming months.

Fighting  Hate

singhpiyush608911 Comments

What would you change about modern society?

Hate is on the rise.

Religion, caste, colour, country have become new weapons

to differentiate people.

Showing Humanity is considered a weakness.

So the time has come,

To put your ego aside,

And save this world,

This creation of God,

From the demon called hate,

Through your divine weapon,

Love , respect and compassion.

Maybe you have to go through pain,

Maybe you have to face a war,

But you should not deter

From your path of love,

Because the world you dream,

Is not anything else but this.

Your peace , your heaven lies here.

And heaven sometimes needs sacrifice….

Soundtracks

What do you listen to while you work?

Follow me on YouTube

There is no option for me to listen to any kind of music while working. But while writing or blogging I love to listen to the soundtracks.

My favourite musicians when it comes to soundtracks are Hans Zimmer who produced heart touching score for the movies like Interstellar, inception and dark knight, Hildur guðnadóttir for Joker ,Ramin Djawadi for Game of thrones and Scott Buckley (you can find his music on YouTube and in many of my long form videos).

These soundtracks strike a different chord with you and really touch your soul. If you are writing poetry or an emotional piece then these soundtracks can really help as your thoughts overflow when you are listening to one.

True Happy moments

Which activities make you lose track of time?

After crossing Afarwat peak of almost 5000 m altitude, we reached Alpathar lake.

The secret of happiness is something to do. And if that job is something you love most, you lose track of time.

From school timings to office hours, from healing physical wounds to recovering from personal loss, from day-night to seasons, humankind is governed by time. In fact such is the law of our universe that without time our existence would not have been possible.

But still, we are so scared of time. We are so afraid of the end that we hardly enjoy the rest of the time. To be honest this mess is not given by time itself but it is something which we have created . Why do we panic when we run behind time, purely because we wasted our present, our ‘Now’.

We wasted our ‘Now’ by doing nothing or by worrying about our past regrets and future worries. But there is a way out of this mess.

Do something which you love most, get lost in that hobby, job or work . Create that obsession which makes you blind to the negativities of past and future. This will make you truly present in the ‘Now’ as time ceases to exist in that moment, truly a happy moment.

For me , when I am hiking or trekking in the mountains , I lose track of time. My entire focus is on the treacherous trail and when I am tired I am rewarded with the beauty of the surroundings. Cold icy winds, snow laden mighty mountains, the wilderness of the terrain make me lost in the ‘Now’.

Also when I am blogging, I lose track of time. Yes, sometimes I lose my words too, but then I shift to reading.

In this way ,if you keep yourself busy and not wasting your present then you can at least eliminate most of the negativity if not being truly happy.

Am I running out of time?

singhpiyush608913 Comments

What bothers you and why?

Kongdori meadows gulmarg

Don’t know why it feels more than before , am I running out of time?

When you were a kid you hardly cared about time. You were engrossed in something or in some thoughts that you hardly felt anything passing. Time ran so slow that it felt like you have the power to dictate time.

Then you  started growing and slowly it seemed that the time was running quickly and has almost surpassed you.

And Now, you are far behind it and slowly losing hope of ever going to catch up with it. Maybe there is a scientific theory behind this feeling but surely all our worries, all are disappointments have a great deal of time’ s involvement.

What I think I can do to tackle this feeling is to keep myself busy in one or the other thing. This will surely stop me from worrying about the past or future and keep me in the ‘Now’

It’s difficult to be consistent with this, but you have nothing else but this to save yourself .
