Some of us die every minute by keeping things bothering us.
It could be our actions or the actions of someone else.
We don’t have to fight with ourselves but vent it outwards, speak up, and settle. Otherwise, we will live our lives with a burden.
One harm we could do to ourselves is living with regret or burden. Our life is limited and precious. We have to live to its fullest.
Any relationship fosters co-existence, respect & growth. Most of us crave success and are hungry for accomplishments.
Sadly, the animal kingdom thrives on superiority, jealousy, and many other vices. Not everyone enjoys the success of others.
A lucky few find partners who help the other person without expectations.
Someone who celebrates success and motivates failure. The virtue of growth keeps both going without external pressure.
I was walking from the station. It was not that dark, just foggy and cold. Northern India gets into a thick sheet of fog. It results in many road accidents and delays in flights and trains.
He must have been in his fifty and one eye covered. He mentioned the eye operation he had undergone. It was a property fight with his sons. My talkative vice must have made him open up or my smile. He introduced himself as Kalandar. We continued talking and ended up catching over a chai. He was on his way to Delhi to her daughter’s place. She was married a few years back and worked in a private bank as a clerk.
Kalander mentioned this was his last train for life. Afterward, he will stay and die in Delhi with his daughter’s family. I asked about others in his family. On hearing this, his eye went numb, and his voice mellowed. He mentioned that he lost his wife six months back in a road accident.
He did not say much about his brother and other members. He asked me what am I doing here. I mentioned I was there to see my parents. I don’t know what happened to him, and he started crying loudly. I asked what happened.
Kalandar: babuji agar beta nikamma nikla to bete ke paas he zake marna padta hai na. (a useless son results in dying with daughters and family.)
Me: Aaz ke zamane mae beta bete kaise alag hai.(How is a son or daughter different in this era?)
Kalander mentioned that his son took a huge loan and moved to the Gulf. It’s been over six months, and he has not sent any money. At the same time, loan sharks made Kalandar’s life miserable.
He is on his way to her daughter’s home for life after selling his ancestral property, his two bulls, bullock cart, and flowering sarso plants.
I had not much to say besides hugging him and crying. I got a call from Mom and was called for dinner.
Are we not like travelers? We dive into our thoughts. Our action follows. We make rules. We break the rules. We continue traveling. We make friends, we leave friends, we switch sides, we survive.
We travel in love, anger, rage, and all other seasons. We become responsible, socially acceptable, and law-abiding domesticated humans.
Our travel stops once we lie in the grave.
Apne khwab liye chal pade hum is kasbe se us saher ki aur is umeed me ki zindagi ne kuch acha sanjo ke rakha hai.
Sapne to Kai hai aur pura karne ka hausla bhi hai. Bas kuch waqt ke liye mayusi aum gum ka andhkaar AA Zara hai.
Ek khud ke kasmokash ka dwandyudh hai ye. Khud se khud me zindgi ko zine ki khwaish hai.
Aisa kehte hai ki takdeer ka muqadaar apke hausalabzaye ka mohtaaz hota hai. Apke taqdeer ki sayahi par apke mehnat ka pasina duba hota hai.
Khud pe hausla rakhiye, kamaan kas liziye aur ho zaiye tyaar. Apke chahat hai, apka sapna hai, sab hoga apka muqaddar.
We are responsible for our actions. We cannot change the world or others. The sooner we realize, the less traumatized we will feel. We can only help others to a level with support. But it should not come on account of harming ourselves and our sanity.
How can you take responsibility for others’ actions? This action will make you only guilty and weak. We have to let go of things for our sanity.
People like to play victim cards to gain sympathy and our attention. They like to blame you or emotionally drench you. If you will suck into their scheme, it becomes a
nonending loop.
The sad part of being sick is that you are bedridden. Your smell & taste sense takes a toss. Your brain gets crowded with many thoughts, good or bad. You start craving for people whom you love and like around you.
Last but not least, you start behaving like a kid seeking all the attention.
There are so many things I can be thankful for. I am alive as one. The other is that I still have control over my consciousness.
The world we are living in gives us all the ingredients to get lost or get into FOMO. With age, we will realize that our sanity and the company of a chosen few matters.
The sooner we distinguish our needs & wants, we will start living without worrying about finances. The loved ones will accept us for who we are, not because of our car or bank balance.
Your health. What you put in your mouth, who you meet, and what you think should matter to you.
Your poop speaks a lot about your health. I am not kidding. I am serious. The emergence of research in the gut microbiome domain makes it more evident. I remember reading – 10% Human and Guts. Both books impart the same information. All these years of understanding myself more, my choice of food, and my daily habits resulted in a better life.
These books mention how our human body has bacteria and many other organisms. It also mentions some of these bacteria are building blocks and shape us into who we are. They help with every stage of our life, including mood, health, and longevity.

Haven’t Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism mentioned these since their inception? Our science is finally catching up with religion.
Every passing year has things to teach us. The world is connected more than before. We survived COVID. We are at war now. Many lives will be lost. But for most in the world, life will continue passing by.
I have my list of how the year passed. Many things progressed in my personal and professional life. With age, I feel more and more content with everything in life.
In the end, we live in our thoughts. Everything outside, from wealth, relationships, or accomplishments, is secondary. The sooner we accept it. Nothing much will matter to us.
We have nothing to review besides how we think, observe, and feel about ourselves and how we live in our thoughts.
