myriad of little things

 Even after getting admission in Dental college, a medical aspirant resents and regrets all his years of being unable to crack the NEET UG exam. A UPSC aspirant goes on giving his 7th attempt at the age of 33. This is the sad reality of the cutthroat Indian Competition System that inevitably makes the clearance of exam as an accolade of achievement to be worn and thus get validated by society. It impacts the mental well-being of lakhs of students who sit for these exams and makes them like a horse with blinders just to focus on the target and 'if you fail you are good for nothing' they say. A lot of them are just enrolling in entrance tests due to their parents' aspirations or even when they are unaware of their interests or capabilities. These are the questions to current education system and the society: What about those major proportion who fail?  Are their careers put on secondary options away from the pedestal? Why are they not trained to explore other unconventional o

                 Perfectionism is like a cursed apple given to the Snow White by the Witch queen.   Perfection has become an aim due to increase in living standards with time. This attitude is inculcated in individuals as soon as they began their schooling. Soon, this becomes a major issue when they enter adulthood with so many responsibilities and burdens. Now, if they keep on aiming for perfectionism in their work or themselves or others, they will waste time, money and other resources.  Apart from that, being a perfectionist can sometimes even make you a ' maniac' with those burdening expectations which can't be fulfilled. This can spiral down to stress, anxiety and depression. At this hour,  ask yourself :  "Is that really important to be on top? Am I sacrificing my mental peace and happiness to get the perfect work, score or relationship?" "What is perfect in the very first place to start with?" In reality it's  NOTHING Just our own and expecta

" I have been overthinking so much, cooking up my stories... far from reality, have lost what is even in my sight and the moment... which I know will never be back... Oh, I've been so messed up...." What is the way of life? What in the world are religions or scriptures trying to teach? Out of all the philosophies today, I wish to talk about the fundamental thing that all religions and beliefs focus upon that is BEING TOGETHER . It's so simple message yet difficult. If everyone would be same as you and me, there won't be fun! We all have different mindsets, and we are here to adjust in this world. The people of God talk about being honest, truthful and kind in our deeds, and preach about not doing bad karma.  What is it all for?  To live in harmony for us and others.  " Fear the God, your life is like a steam of water, "  they say.  Even I don't think myself as a faithful servant of God, but I do believe that preaching religion is good as long as it

We all struggle between whether to listen to heart or mind.  When mind is full of negative thoughts it is always better to choose what the heart says, what the heart wants to feel.  The gloomy days are over now, rise up and heal. When you are doubting yourself, you are making your soul feel powerless and deep inside you are hurting yourself. Sometimes accepting the reality is the only option, you can't always run away or look upto everyone for help. All you can do is look within and trust the process. 

 Even surrounded by almost everyone you might feel so lonely at times. Sometimes you are just tired of everything. Waiting for just one magic to happen. Somebody to fill your heart with love. Love is all what you hope for. Love that binds everything. You see love in everyone's heart but not yours. You are searching for somebody to uplift your heart. And in your search you stumble, you break and you fall. You ask yourself again and again how can I love where I was broken. How can I forget all the hate. How could I hate and how could I forget what I valued. I had lost myself all in vain.

"It all starts with believing in our destiny that whatever has been done is good for us and whatever has not been done is still better ." Whenever I look upon my current life compared to my past it always seems better. I won't say everyone to start comparing their past with present because you may have gain some and may have lost the other but rather state that, gratitude considerably leads to happiness and contentment. My friend jokes about my behaviour of  connecting the dots in everything. Yeah, I won't deny my habit to see patterns in things, people, and life too. But ain't it true, that practicing gratitude removes down a thousand kilo burden upon our lives?  Yesterday, I was looking at a cat in my garden and wondering that this cat could have been my boyfriend at some point of life in the my birth cycle. Now don't ask me why only boyfriend?.. I have an inbuilt romanticism...girls generally have it!  At the same time, I was thankful to be born as a human
