Alive

The world is in a mess. From the middle east to Africa to Asia to Europe people are dying because of war, famine, disease, and hunger.

Millions are getting displaced everyday in tribal war, religious war or country battle. These people are working hard to build there new identity and because what they have gone through, it will take time.

How lucky are we to live in a world with enough food to eat, school to study and healthcare on the call.

I feel blessed to be living in India. We are not perfect, but inching towards getting better. We have our challenges, with time we will fix it.

Muskile

Muskile jo bhi aaye, ji lenge hum. Har muskil se kar lenge samna hoker nidar. Insaan hai ji hum, humne pathar pighlaye hai aur chaand ke chakkar lagaye hai.

Kya nai kar sakte hum agar hausla hai. Kya nahi kar sakte hum agar kuch kar guzarne ki kavayaat hai.

Insaan bann jine ka mauka kuch ko hi diya hai uperwale ne. Baki sab kideee-makaude hai ji.

Apne khuskismate ko taqdeer bana lete hai aur ho zate hai apni manzil ke taraf apne kadam liye.

Zindgi hai mere, jina hai mujhe apni marzi se nidar aur bekhauff.

sulking

There are times in our life when nothing is in our control. We gave everything we could. We don’t have a time machine to fix past mistakes.

What matters is your commitment. It helps you reduce sulking. The constant question monkey mind throws at you: what if you had done this or that.

Death of your loved one. You gave the best possible treatment and your time. You will not live life in regret, because you were there beside them, taking care.

Companies success. If we had not raised so much money, we would have focussed on building products instead of launching new products for pumping valuation. You will not have any regret even if the ship fails, because you are aware.

Most of us live a good amount of life sulking. It is like a virus that continuously plays as a rewind tape in our thoughts. It gives us all the disease.

shadows

Are we shadows of our past, experiences, or learnings?

As we grew, many learnings got transferred from our ancestors and forefathers.

We still have restaurants with secret recipes passed to each generation, like making cheese, bread, or wine.

Some remaining folklores are passed through generations. With the change in society, we care least about them.

But the shadow is still deep within us. We can not escape it for our new identity.

view

Goodbyes are never easy, especially where both sides want to be in the journey but not stick to a common viewpoint. Not having an aligned view in the journey will cause pain and frustration.

Be very careful with what you are getting, and how far can you align with the person or organization’s ideology?

Our life is limited, so are the relationships we build.

victim

Playing a victim card can take us somewhere. We cannot live life with it. The world is a miserable place. Every other day something happens, and it will occupy the centre stage. You have to heal your trauma. You have to face the world and make your life count. No one else can heal you, but only you and your fearlessness.

move

How many of us die without expressing our love to someone. How many of us live in our permutations and combinations about life. How things have changed if we had done this or that.

Our brain likes to confuse us. As a result, a good amount of present gets wasted thinking of the unchangeable past. We dwell in the past and stop living in the present.

I am not saying I am perfect. But I realised about it living half of my life. Our present is what should matter and it will cement our future. Our past is gone, be it good or bad. We have to move on.

Women’s Day

A woman has to go through many challenges in her life. She is a multi-tasker: a mother, sister, wife, or entrepreneur. She has to compete with men and society every day to prove her worth.

Religious fundamentalists in a few countries have made them an object for pleasure or baby-producing machines with all the restrictions.

Thankfully things are changing, but it is just a beginning. I hope the coming decades will get much better.

Happy Women’s day. Many have gone against all the odds and made life for themselves. I am lucky and blessed to have a few in my life. They are a source of power and positivity to me.
