Bright light bursting forth,  into the dawn of  a brand new zenith.  Golden rays soften the land  with newfound warmth.  Infinite possibilities of  this grand awakening arise,  manifold choices  presented to us all. With the dawn of this new day, choose we to let past wounds & future fears determine our way? Or choose we to stir and awaken  the limitless glories  within and around us? Let us choose now and dance with the rays of the newborn sun. 

Here's a spoiler about life: you predestine your emotions. You and only you are responsible for your mirth and misery. You will continue to suffer as long as you revert back negatively to everything that is said to you and happens to you. You live in the illusion of emotions as long as you are a reactor. Reactors align their well being to outer situations, people and things. They wait for that magical moment to come by which will change their life and only then they'd be living a dream. Their life is determinded by 'when that happens.' We go about drifting, trying to make sense of what it is; oblivious to the secret of our happiness. So if you truly desire a life of prosperity and peace; make a statement of purposefullness. Decide how you want to feel and let not outer riffs influence it. You're allowed to feel good for no reason, so do yourself a favour and loosen up. Let your self go and be free. Don't wait for these feelings to comeby through certain ...

Humming to your favourite song on the radio, you're enjoying the drive and the road seems smooth. You're all set to go out for camping at a beautiful hill-station. Just then you sense a disturbance in the engine and the car comes to a halt. You try your best to fix it up but all your effort goes in vain. There's no sign of any help which you could use. The path now seems to be filled with prickling hardships and the the sky is dark and gloomy.  Like a lonely and perplexed traveller, the roads to your destination seem obscure. You're disheartened because of the sudden turn of events. Uncertain of how to commence your journey again, you sit down by the road. You curse your fate and feeling depressed, you say to yourself, "Why does this happen to me, life? Just when I feel that I'm in a happy place, you bring it all down."  But there's nobody around to listen to your misfortune and you're made to accept the bitter situation.  Lost in your though...

Independence day greetings to all. Today we celebrate 70th year of freedom. August 15, 1947; a day of remembrance to all the brave souls who devoted themselves with their everything to witness this day.  However, beyond the enthusiasm, one has to introspect on whether we have really achieved what our forefathers dreamt of? Are we independent as individuals, are we independent in terms of our identity, our thoughts?  One of the main aspirations after independence was the need to carve out the Indian identity within the people of the country. We've come a long way rising up as a family and we have a long way to go still.   Amidst all the social injustices, political chaos & inequality; India still possesses the power and potential to evolve. PM Narendra Modi said, "If India faces lakhs of problems, it has 125 crore brains which have the ability to face and overcome those problems."  We have the capability of moulding our nation. We are brimming with idea...

I think we all struggle with the issue to embrace our true selves. We struggle to accommodate our flaws. We struggle with our different insecurities. We struggle with those chaotic thoughts of comparison and what-ifs.  It's easy to talk about  loving and accepting yourself but it takes a remarkable mental, emotional and spiritual maturity to own upto your own flaws.  So we start off with recognising our flaws. It's always good to know the truth rather than keeping yourself in an illusion. After we recognise those flaws, we try making peace with it gradually. Be courageous, open up about your flaws. Accept that they're a part of you like they're a part of everyone else. Practice humility, let go of that ego. Your ego would only be a hinderance to your goal of self love.  As you're at peace with yourself, you'll realise that maybe your flaws aren't irreversible. You can work them out. You can set a goal and work hard and be the person you always wished...

They say home is a feeling. I seek home in different people I meet and in the places I explore.  My home is in the happiness of the beautiful beings around me.  Home is when I feel a vibe with a familiar soul. When I ingage in a deep, captivating conversation on what more's to life.  Home is finding myself in love with the character of that book I read. As I find myself deep in the world of words, that's homely.  Home is listening to the soul reaching music which either just wants to make me dance and jump or just sit quietly, inhaling the serenity of that moment.   Home is the solace I find in my mother's arms which makes me feel like everything is going to be alright. Home is the feeling when dad just can't help you shower with love even after being a tough man.  Home is when my pets shows their unconditional love, home is the happiness playing with these irresistibly cute creatures realising love needs no words.  Home is the tranquili...

We are let out open into this wonderful creation. We don't know who we are, why we are here or what is our purpose of being here. We're let free to fathom our being. We move along the path, we view different things. We meet different people. We feel the moments as we take steps. We tame our curiosity.  As we go deeper into this creation called life, we submit ourselves to the reality. We perceive things as they are, we don't bother to challenge what it is.  We overlook those brief moments where thoughts rush into our mind, questioning the collocation. Maybe some of us fear difference, some are tangled into lethargy and some just exist about.  Each one of us have some thousand beautiful worlds inside our mind. The universe says, everything you need is within you. You are here to create your own reality and not just be a mere existence in someone else's reality.  "Learn more than is normal. Be strong. Show courage. Breathe. Excel. Love. Lead. Speak your t...
