Revamp yourself

-
So here we’re in the final week of this year! 2014. What a year it has been. The Ebola outbreak, disappearance of Malaysian airline flight 370, the Islamic state of ISIS and its beheadings, Germany winning the FIFA world cup, India’s successful mars orbiter mission (mangalyaan), A-list internet sex scandal, IPL betting scandal involving bigwigs, Peshawar tragedy, Swachata abhiyan, Saradha chit scam, the rise of a chai wala to become PM of the world’s largest democracy being some of the highlights. A hell of roller coaster rides.

Personally speaking, it was not so good year. But still it might’ve been a very good year for some. Irrespective of what happened, good or bad, our constant motive should be to revamp our self; to extract the good from everything. Take things as a guidelines and evolve as a better person. After all things happen for a reason. But do not get demoralised by the incidents if any of them have hampered you. As a friend of mine insists me to ‘’Always take the lessons and move ahead not the stories.’’

So it’s a new year, a new beginning. Let us start afresh our lives. Many of us try making resolutions in an attempt to improvise ourselves. Most of the people fail, while few succeed cause it’s actually too stupid forcing yourself to a boring routine. Simple things can be done to make life interesting. We talk & aim big things like change in attitude and accordingly plan impossible resolutions which is why we probably lose interest in it. A more effective approach would be to plan simple and something unique.

For instance, we can buy tickets for all our fellow travellers in bus. Simple but genuine kindness. We all live a stressful life. A surprising kind gesture certainly overwhelms everyone. In addition to the satisfaction of being the reason for happiness of people, you’ll also develop the habit of selflessness and generosity. Life actually seems amazing when we do good deeds like this. Everyday make at least one stranger happy and see the difference.

We’re surrounded with lots of negativity as man is increasingly becoming selfish and evil. The rise in terror attacks and crimes is just an indication of the same. There is an ever increasing need to rise up above all the hate and indifference and do good to everyone irrespective of their background. We’re here on this planet for a very small time. Let’s make it worthwhile. Do not hold grudges and have hard feelings for anyone as we do not know this might be the last time we hear from them. Love more & laugh even more.

Let us make a sincere effort to revamp our self and mend our ways to be the best we can be, for life is best enjoyed when it is simple & true. Be crazy yet sensitive. May the goodness in you flourish. Amen.

Lastly, before I sign off…

Happy New Year, folks.
Party responsibly. Please don’t drink & drive 

See you in 2015!

Little stories - from the year goneby

  2020 was a year that none of us would forget in our lifetime. A year which made the world stop, quite literally . Absolutely crazy time which threw every system, every bit of regularity there is to life and every relation out of order. Having been caught by surprise, of course, everyone panicked and made frivolous attempts to make sense out of the situation. The ridiculously long time of being confined to one’s own house drew the entire race crazy, because by definition, humans are social animals and the socializing aspect was lost. This got me thinking, how innate it is for us to socialize (even for introverts), the basic urge to meet varied people and communicate is what makes us, US! While a few, staying away from their families discovered how it is getting back home; the ones working on frontline during this pandemic realized how it is being away from family, even after being home. A lot of us valued physical touch even more and how comforting even a simple hug, handsha...

Surreal yet real

This post is a bit out of the box and a very elaborate one. It is about my experiences of that amazing, spine chilling, mother of all thrillers night. So brace yourselves. Many of you, at least the goan pals, might've heard about the famous 'Gadyanchi Jatra of Sal'. To break it down, 'Gade' can roughly be called as players. 'Jatra' can be described as a periodical festival celebrated in honour of an idol or local deity. To further clarify, the happenings that occur in this festival are mystic and can be attributed to the cause of supernatural forces. Though science does not believe in the existence of life after death, many cultures in the world have a lot of rituals dedicated to ghosts and spirits. Before some of you jump off to the conclusion of calling it rubbish and declaring it to be another post spreading superstition in this age of advancement, I ask you to further read on. Even I'm a science student and trust me I'd taken this down...

Back with a bloggy bang :P

So it's been a long time since I've written a blog. After years, I'm back to it. This time cause of another friend of mine. Thank you mate! Cheers. Let's see for how long this stint continues. Hopefully more than a year. Well more than will, I'll need continuous pestering to keep on writing and hopefully go full down throttle with it. The way summer season seems to be ghastly eating up the water resources, the same way its going on with my thoughts. Needless to say, it's summer making me ponder, what to write with the cursor being stationary at the same place for a couple of minutes to write the next sentence. Writing your first blog is always tricky. not like you don't know what to write. There are many things to write but then you cant write all of them in the first post itself. Saal bhar yeh hi kachra toh jhadna hai . So this was just a way to restart things. Perhaps a short introductory fresher's course. Hopefully it'll sustain. Till th...
