Changing yourself

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

When you are born , you are hardly aware of fear. As you grow , you come across various obstacles like fear , self doubt and low will power . These negative thoughts stop you from progressing in life.

But , apart from this some of us luckily come across courage. To some it comes from within and to some it comes from people around them like parents, teachers, friends or coaches.

When it comes to me , I was an introvert kid. I hardly made friends and that made me extremely nervous on stage or speaking in public. My only source of strength was my parents.

With time , I progressed slowly and I somehow dared to perform as a musician on stage and sometimes I spoke in public. I came to realise the more you will push yourself to do difficult things , the better you will become. Practice is the biggest key.

But then time passed , I got failures, few successes here and there but mostly I was dented by a new obstacle , Procrastination!

I am the king of all Procrastinators. Things which I should have done a long time ago are still pending now. My sane mind shouts at me to do certain things but I somehow manage to ignore . I sometimes feel an invisible force is pulling me like I am a slave of someone.

I guess , procrastination is the enemy of many humans. It surely diminishes the capabilities of a man. It diminishes the will power as well which is the after effect of this. You already know how to tackle this , you just need to stand up, move and start doing without overthinking.

I hope in the near future I will tackle this problem in a much better way. And fear, I will try to face head on, it doesn’t matter whether I lose or win , what does matter is my fight. 

I hope my fellow readers , you too keep fighting because life is not only about struggles but your fight against struggles too.

A Night that felt like a dream

Are you more of a night or morning person?

Pabbar Valley Himachal pardesh at night

It rained and snowed throughout the trek (Buran Ghati pass Trek). The days were spent in frustration as we walked under the angry clouds that thrashed us with sleet , snow and rain. We walked among the angry mountains and we spent most of our time in tents at camps.

Just before our summit day ( buran pass), it snowed heavily and our chance of crossing the pass looked bleak . But then just at the exact time we had to start the climb , the clouds found their peace and they opened up to reveal the beauty my eyes weren’t expecting.

The entire landscape glowed with snow under the light of the moon. It felt like a different planet, maybe a paradise looked like that. The peace of that night flowed on the cold breeze that came from the sacred Himalayas . It whispered the tales of Gods that roamed in those valleys from the beginning of time.

The whole experience probably stayed in my mind like a precious jewel which is impossible for me to forget.

So now whenever I think of nights , I think of that night which really felt like a fairytale. Since then whenever I wake up in the middle of the night , I feel the same shiver which I felt on that night. And sometimes those memories come back as a dream on some nights…..

My adventure suit

What are your two favorite things to wear?

I love to hike and trek in the mountains. Whenever I am in the wilderness of the Himalayas with my favourite trekking shoes on ,I feel I am in a fictional world full of excitement.

I really love my High ankle, waterproof trekking shoes and my trek pants with 4 chain pockets. I keep my pocket friendly gopro cams and sometimes my gloves in those pockets. It really gives me the feeling of a warrior on a mission.

When I am not hiking , just the glimpse of my shoes and trek pants give me a hell lot of positivity, as if I am transported in the shelter of nature, looking at the broader picture of life.

There are certain things in life which give us true happiness, not because we use them but because we experience something greater because of them.

Can’t live without technology

What technology would you be better off without, why?

I took a lot of time to write this post  . I thought of all the technologies around me and wasn’t able to detest any. I mean how can I face the heat of North India without an air conditioner. Then I thought of smartphones, TV , information technology, internet, all of them made our lives so easy.

On one hand it has helped us so efficiently in COVID times , on the other hand it has made us lazier . We hardly walk or cycle to go from one place to another. We hardly read books to get the answer, when it is easily available on the internet. 

You can go on and on talking about the pros and cons of technology but just like the fundamental rule of nature , balance is the  solution. We should avoid the excessive use of technology and constantly check our over dependency on it.
