One of my finest moments of 2024. Read here for that

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….

Kuari Pass Trek (Lord Curzon Trail)

singhpiyush6089Leave a comment

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 […]

Morning Muse

Trail to Thajiwas Glacier Sonmarg

As my Eyes Open to

The morning Glory,

I witness the presence

Of a shining dream,

Maybe the dreams of

My closed eyes,

Nudged and pushed

My soul to the open eyes.

A Dream comes alive

Through the light of the heavens,

The light which turns the white

Of snow and ice,

Into jewels of peace and calm

For my tormented soul.

And the Green shimmered

Of life and Hope….

Who are You ?

Unconventional Mindset

How are you creative?

Dal Lake Srinagar

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.

Merry Christmas to all

Our Identity

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Contemplating at Kuari pass

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.

Happiness on the trails

When are you most happy?

Alpathar Lake

” The secret of happiness is something to do” – John Burroughs

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.

Life is Unpredictable

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Garhwal Himalayas Uttarakhand

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.

The Goodness you leave behind

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

We hardly know what people say behind us. They may act good on your face but it is not necessary that they talk about good things behind you. So , it can be said, that most of us are extremely curious to know what people talk about when we are not around them.

We cannot please everyone, we may show kindness to everyone but we might not get in return. Though it is in our hands what we do to others. Well, it is quiet in our human nature to react as per our surroundings. If someone hates us, we hate them back and very few of us are hardly able to react in a kinder way.

Anger , hate, enmity all come to us so easily but it never gives anything good to the world, or even to our mental peace. The world we live in is still alive or going well ( at least for the most part) because of the few good people who choose to spread kindness and love in spite of the hate they receive.

For me, you can even win over your enemies by being kind. I have seen people when they come at you with anger , if you talk with them kindly they calm down very quickly and most importantly they regret showing anger at you . I think this is the magic of goodness and kindness, it is what we call as order in the chaos around us.

We have a limited time in this world as humans, let’s make this world a better place to live in by being good to others especially to the unfortunate ones. We might not get anything good in return but we have to stay calm for those who understand  and will remember you when you are gone.

I may not stay here for long but my goodness should stay here immortally in the hearts of the people who understand me or who will one day understand me.
