All of us are in such a whirlwind, that at times we forget how essential it is to pause down. As it is said rightly, “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”. Earlier this weekend, I was not at my best and could not comprehend the clarity of what I have v/s what I desire. In addition, especially when you are at such a phase you squander over social media, just scrolling. However, in a world where we are driven by automation it is crucial for us to perceive that we need to be more present in life; exceptionally at the time when we do not feel best of ourselves. However, I just wanted to convince you that it’s okay to unplug at times. First and foremost, unplugging from everything for a day or so can help you understand your emotions better, think clearly and during that remoteness you must listen to your heart, take up a book you left unread or maybe oversleep. As we are grateful that covid restrictions have eased down too, so why not spend

Read a quote and could not stop thinking about it since them: “The power of universe will come to your assistance, if your heart and mind are in unity” We belong to a generation where we effortlessly get influenced by our peers and surroundings. Interesting part is that we wish to do a few things that make us look “cool”. Hand on heart, we always know what we exactly resist. Why can’t we just be ourselves instead of just being cool? I contemplate is being yourself is the new cool. Surprisingly, even when we are matured, we want to be socially accepted. However, I am sure that if you have a habit of having a self-conversation you shall know when and what you truly wish to do. Ask yourself does this really make you happy within or does it not? While I am writing I am affirmative that you can recall a few instances. Till date, I sometimes do things which make me feel so little of myself. Nevertheless, I keep remembering myself that once you are at an ease with yourself, what others think

Do you look back, often see yourself and realize that you have changed a lot? If you think that you fall in the above category, congratulations you are growing. This thought has been muddling me for quite a few days. So, I pondered upon it and realized that it is just that we are EVOLVING. Whoever said that life is meant to be hard, I genuinely second that belief. Rather, I'd say few notions are meant to be learned the hard way. Sometimes there comes a time all you wanted or wished to do: you can see falling right in front of you. Nevertheless, you are the decision maker whether you wish to learn, grow and move on or weep upon the same. Ultimately, your possible course of action can tell a lot about you. Recently, I was clustered in thoughts which made me hesitant and curious about how and when I will accomplish what I hoped for. However, don’t you think that it’s just the process? None of us wants to be on the darker side, but it’s that you go through and be a better version of y

To humans, Last month has been really overwhelming for me. I was going through something which I hardly felt like talking about. Albeit, being a personality who loves to chatter and talk about things which are disturbing me I preferred to keep shut. However, let bygones be bygones but I am grateful to have my friends and family besides me. Hence, I had this urge to write a letter for everyone because all of us are going through some unspoken struggles; so just wanted to drop by and appreciate your courage. As it is said to make the best of a bad situation. I know you are observing and learning from things around you; recognizing what and how you feel. Such times assist us in putting efforts on how we can make ourselves feel better. One day at a time and this too shall pass. Let me just take a moment and tell you how proud I am of you as you still choose to go in spite of the fear you feel. Don’t blame or take yourself for granted when you cannot make up for something. Behind, each smil

I realized I have not recommended books in a very long time so thought of making this one. So today I am suggesting books by one of my favorite authors, Haruki Murakami. Just to brief you about him, he is a Japanese author who is well known as a novelist of magical fiction. His work is so beautiful that every single thing is way too relatable, moreover it creates a curiosity to know more about the human identity. On a personal note, I admire his style of collaborating unique stories and in the end, it always gives you the answers which we often look out for in our daily lives. 1. Norwegian Wood This book is about a man named Tori who is completely disturbed by the death of his dear friend. Eventually, he falls in love with his friend’s girlfriend, Naoko and finds his calm in solace. I am sure after hearing this you could imagine what twists and turns this would take you through, oh boy I am sure it will meet your expectations. The book transports back to his student days which is

As it is rightly said, develop an attitude of gratitude. In recent times, it is mainly overlooked, as people have been going through so much and it is hardly possible for some to be positive. As a matter of fact, gratitude is a great exercise which can allow us to tune into details of our lives which we often ignore. It could be as small as thanking for someone’s generous act, thanking god for good food and so on. Might not make complete sense to you, but let me tell you why one should be grateful. One common key in people who are successful is that they practice gratitude in some way or the other. How does it work? It is not like they haven’t been through pitfalls, of course they have but it depends on how you take it. Gratitude is something that you need to feel from inside. If you are in your down phase, start brick by brick thank about a skill you learned, if not skill thank that you didn’t get sick and if we got sick thank that you at least did not die. All in all, there are alway
