WHAT DO YOU SEE?

It may sound unrealistically simple, but honestly everything good or bad starts with our perception. Our perception determines our corresponding response or action(s). By having the right perception, a problem doesn’t magically disappear, but we assume the right posture to keep our minds open to seeing the “good” inherent in that problem. First is our understanding and acceptance of the fact that life itself wouldn’t be called life without its fair share of challenges. The openness of our minds to the acceptance of this fact absorbs us to a certain extent of any rude shock, when such challenges show up. In every battle we choose sides – but more appropriately in this context, we must choose sight. To every coin there are two sides; every word has an opposite; every positive has a negative and every bad has a good… bottom line is shift focus from all the ‘ifs’ to the ‘cans’. Choose to see the possibilities in every seemingly impossible situation. And while this might seem unreali...

IT’S OKAY TO BE SAD.

Ever noticed how you hear loads of messages, teachings, and expositions on being happy always, and surprisingly your mood never improves? Well it has happened to me a few times, and at first I thought I was probably having a midlife crisis, but again I wasn’t at that age yet (even though anything is possible in today’s world). Anyways, my conclusion is; it’s okay to be sad. Honestly, I think most of us overlook this fact, and that is why we are sad in the first place. We go through life in some robotic manner, moving from one phase of life to another while playing the super hero. Every now and then we hear how we should stay happy always and then the Doctors pitch in and tell us the many benefits of smiling and how many nerves we use. Though I do not dispute any of these, but can we be honest with ourselves for a minute – it’s okay to be sad. It's okay to not understand how you feel even sometimes, it’s okay to be confused, it’s okay to beat yourself up once in a while… the sec...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

Ramblings... or Not II

Today I realized that you can be in the midst of a crowd, yet be alone... Today I realized that the heart can stop feeling, even while beating... Today I realized that one thing more scarier than fear, is emptiness... Today I realized that there aren't just two sides to life, too many curves we don't see... Today I realized that without the willpower, a frog will remain the same even if it kisses a Queen... Today I realized that people never change, only circumstances do... Today I realized that we only see what we want to, most times not what we are supposed to... Today I realized that life is so short, we have no clue... Today I realized that as long as we are alive, there's a risk for everyone...

Ramblings... or Not!

Today I realized that you can feel the same kind of pain twice and even over and over, without a clue how to stop it... Today I realized that choosing the one we love is not as important as being chosen by the one who loves us… Today I realized that love isn’t really what we think it is, it is pain, sacrifice and hard work… Today I realized that when people are in so much pain, death loses its fangs before their eyes… Today I realized that depression isn’t a sign of weakness, it could happen to even the strongest of men… Today I realized that therein between black and white, lies the grey line…. Today I realized that the most part of our lives are shaped and defined in those grey lines… Today I realized that finding happiness isn’t a big deal, staying happy is the real battle… Today I realized that there is no such thing as one person or thing being finer than the other, it is only a product of our malleable minds… Today I realized that daylights are easier than night...

Dotted Lines...

It’s not just a ‘like’ And it’s more than a psyche My heart goes on a hike Every time you look in my eyes It’s more than a frown But not enough for a crown My pain runs deep and down Sometimes I think I might drown Damn sure it’s more than a tear I bet it’s more than a fear I don’t know if you can tell But it’s more than I can spell It’s more than just the monies And sure not about the hunnies It’s a whole world of mysteries Nothing is ever as it seems

LOVE OR LOGIC?

The ones we love hurt us the most, They can’t see us even though we are close But only with them do we feel at home I can’t live with you, but can’t live without you You reach for me, but fall right through Yet when I pray, I pray more for you One day we are here, the next we are gone Our scents and smell, lingers till dawn Our hopes and dreams, with the wind all gone A child is born, and with him a dream comes He learns to run, and he learns to love Then he falls in love, is he right or wrong? We think we know, but do we really? I ask This life we know is naught but a mirage, Every decision taken is a means to an end If we know not tomorrow, then to what end I ask?
