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.

Celebrity Question – daily prompt

Share five things you’re good at.

Well , most people don’t care what you are good at unless you are a celebrity..

Anyways the WordPress community makes you feel that. So here is my response if you are reading…

In my school and college days I have been very good in music and cricket. I used to play guitar and sing , I participated in choir and in various cultural programs.

Then for the rest of the time I have been a very important member of the school cricket team. We did great then, won a few tournaments and saw my name in newspapers a couple of times.

Apart from this,  the other 3 things I am good at, or I believe I am good at are video editing, writing and encouraging people .

Well if your skill is to motivate others and make them feel good when they are having a bad day, then you are doing a great job, probably better than anything else.

So my celebrity time is over, I hope you all are doing fine….

Becoming a Mountain

New Video out now on my YouTube channel

Hello there,
Are You listening?
Wherever you are
If my voice is reaching you
I want you to know
This is what you seek.
This is where you should be.
I was lost and
A part of me missed something.
What is the meaning of my existence?
Where am I going in life?
The questions without answers,
Invisible in the smoke
Of the Concrete Jungle.

Somehow I managed,
to hear a distant echo,
The call of the mountain!
Now here I am
surrendering to him.
Letting it shape me,
Letting it define me.
Letting it push me.
The struggles , the pain , the grief
All feels nothing ,
When you stand still,
Against the storm
Or the chaos of the universe.
Here I am
Becoming a Mountain.

Joy of Hiking

Doodhpathri Kashmir

Life is so much more

Beyond your smartphone screen.

The Joy of the rising Sun,

Only comes under stars and mountains.

Life is so much more,

Beyond those caged thoughts.

Let them roam outside your room with

feet in grass and head under the moon.

Hiking is your Guru,

Your perfect teacher.

every step is a meditation

Every hardship is healing.

So let your soul find its path,

In the wilderness of nature,

In the mist of the forest,

Through the winds of a nearby lake.
