As Melody Rose says " The important people in our lives leave  imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but  they are always there in your heart, because they helped  form your heart. There’s no getting over that. " How true is it..?! If you introspect your own life, you'll  realise that just a handful people actually fall in the  afore mentioned cadre but if you look at your friend's list  in FB or for that matter any social networking site they  would be anywhere close to 250+ on an average. Do you really  know all of them in depths? So which statictics are true? I  would say, instead of going by the statistics which is just  a random count of numbers based on some absurd formula as a  base; it is better to follow your gut instincts though at  times serendipity just about manages to throw in the  surprise bloomers which act as warm respite.  As you age, you'll come to realize that pleasing...

Life's journey is made of many sojourns. While some are big, some are small. This journey is accomplished with many people who come across as travelers in our lives but some last life long. As we grow, we know we need more of such real lasting ones to make our journey more meaningful as life when lived alone often leads to sadness, loneliness and melancholy but when lived in the company of anam cara's often turns out to be joyous as happy times get multiplied and testing times are divided and feel less harsh. What happens when suddenly in your life, you feel as if you've been hit by a whirlwind and someone known feels like an unknown ..?? No matter what you cannot relate with that person now the way you did earlier. Life comes to a standstill momentarily till you're able to collect yourself and figure out what went wrong in the relation. How did it turn sour? How did the bridges turn into gaps and further into chasms? How come you never saw the storm coming and ...

Sometimes life writes stories that nobody could imagine. Years back, I set on a quest to find out my calling in life. That further led to defining the "I" in me. Till  then, I used to always say to the people around me that I am  destiny's favorite child, thanks to the trials n'  tribulations I had to go through from a very young age. After a lot of soul searching and introspection; I now  define myself as under: This is ME rebel, thinker, realistic, passionate, emotional soul!! I AM a soul in search of her calling, a professional in pursuit of her goal, a heart seeking it's own realm n' pristine love, a child-woman yearning to break FREE..!! Will I ever get to be all of it or is it just a fragment  of my wild imagination where I am demanding too much  life..?? How often and for how long has such similar  thought crossed your mind..?? I am certain, I am not the  lone one longing for such simplicity from life tha...

“It's hard to determine where to draw the line between  being nice and not hurting people's feelings, and  standing up for what you believe.” It was a very recent experience when I landed in a similar situation and realized that such, too, could be  the case that life could dish out to you. My only best friend  with whom I share my life's one of finest relation on the basis of friendship based on  the premise that we would be there for each other  come what the situation be took me through it. In a platonic relation all  you seek is time and nothing else. Not the clocked and  timed ones but the once in a while kinds where you live  in a world of your own catching up on each other and  you're in a "ignore" mode with regards to the world and just spend quality time with each other. All  was fine till one day, a span of time ear marked as such by him alone (a genuine surprise for me), got  traded for a business d...

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.. " Firstly, set yourself free; no matter what rules surround you. If you find them tolerable, tolerate them; if you find them too obnoxious, break them. Realize that you're free because you are aware that you alone are morally responsible for everything you do. With some people you spend time; with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right kind of people. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. Never rely entirely on the stats for most of them are created on the spur of the moment and, also, do not take serendipity seriously till you have vetted it yourself. Just believe in your capabilities and surge a...

Why is it that a particular ambition or relation or venture or association becomes so mission critical in our life that we cling on it as if it were a life savior and tend to collapse within should the endeavor never take off or goes kaput in between? Why do we let it affect us so much that we fail to recognize the pleasant things that life has to offer us at that point and time and yet choose to wallow in self pity and get warped in it? Momentary withdrawal is understood for it is a part and parcel of human life but why do we take permanent decisions on temporary situations? Always remember, success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. Whenever you're in conflict with anything or anyone in life, there is one factor that can make the difference to sabotaging the situation. That factor is attitude. No matter how far you've gone; you can always turn around. Handle the situation precariously and you've let the situation slip outta your h...

Holding on to the past is like trying to breathe life into a dead body that has already breath its last. It's the pain to revive it even when you know that it's gone and now all that remain are memories of the times spent together. Curtains down, one act of the play is over. The stage is empty temporarily for new and existing characters to take on their role. No one is singled out here. We've all had our share of losses but yet how we handle them is what defines the rest of the course of our life. Not letting go of the past or inability to overcome the past is like being caught in the vortex of the time warp that holds you enmeshed within it but there is no way out unless you wanna remain in the black hole forever or you wanna make an endeavor to step out of it. Its been a year less than a decade since I lost my dad but the mere thought of him or any family moments of get togetherness or any cross roads brings back his flooding memories rife with pain insane. Life...
