What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Gulmarg summers
Memories are immortal. Memories are our best gift. We have limited time in our material form but our memories continue to live in the hearts of the people we come across.
Sometimes these memories make you great but the greatest memories are those which bring tears in the eyes of the people.
So, we can’t guarantee how long we can live but we can surely make great memories by sharing love, compassion, kindness and generosity. This will surely ensure our existence for a long time , maybe till the end of time.
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Our brains are coded to dwell too much on our past and future. Time is the most impacting dimension that defines our life. It is up to us to either become a slave of it or hold its strings and dictate terms.
There is no denying the fact that the past teaches us many things and gives us precious memories ( that eventually make us humans). But it is highly elusive, it plays tricks with us when we commit the mistake of identifying with it. We destroy our future by connecting it with our negative past. Even this destroys our present
Yes, it’s difficult to get rid of negative things of the past but there is always a way to do that and I always try to deduce methods to do that. The magic lies in the present. You certainly have something to get fully engrossed in the ‘ Now’. You can take inspiration from the past and use that to your advantage.
What you should ignore , avoid or forget of the past
Embarassing moments
Fear generating moments
Failures that could have been avoided (including silly mistakes)
Regrets
Accidents
Emotional moments especially the loss of someone
What you should embrace of the past
Success but don’t make it infuse arrogance, in fact learn from it and use it as driving force in the present
Failures to learn from mistakes
Good memories of your loved ones
knowledge you acquired
Anything that can boost your productivity in the present
Well, apart from this, try to get fully engrossed in the present. The best way to do that is by doing something which you love most. When you are totally lost in the ‘Now’ in doing something which you enjoy then you hardly think about your past or future. You totally forget about time and make your present as productive as possible.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
Many believe that our paths are laid out long before we are born and continue to another after we perish. Is it true that our lives are predetermined? Is it right to say that we are puppets of a higher order? In the world of Artificial Intelligence and robotics, the brain is coded to perform […]
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.
There is nothing static in life. Everything changes with the blink of an eye. At one moment, you are celebrating and the other, you are mourning.
There is so much to be anxious about and so much to be happy for. But what matters most is how we go smoothly in our lives. Our attitude towards our lives.
Our calmness in times of distress, our balance in times of happiness, decide how long we can go and fulfil our purpose in lives .
Life is an adventure and you have a part to play , you have to fight in difficult times just like you enjoy your good times. There is no running away from this adventure, only forward is the way..
Keep Going
