Simply Positive Thoughts

The one thing that has been constantly coming across my way is the fact that everyone is rushing all the time but getting only one of the two things – either tired or nowhere. Being a Sherlock fan-girl, I decided to enter my mind palace and use the Science of Deduction to understand this unsatisfied thirst to run. My crazy-twisted-out-of-the-box thinking has helped me conclude that one of the reasons for failures is poor sense of judgment and a rush to jump to conclusions (ironic much?). Let me put it this way, any action requires to go through 3 phases before we declare it a success or a failure. These 3 phases are: -           Debate before decision -           Decision -           Implementation The first phase is very simple (but also simple enough to overlook) but the most important one as it involves weighing all the pros and cons of making...

I hav e picked my pen up after a  good 5 year break. I didn’t realize that being Ms i-don’t-have-time-to-write was going to lead me nowhere. Covid-19 pandemic has led me to pursue every minute habit of mine that I had time and again in every phase of my life, some of them being the simple ones like painting and gardening and reading, others being adventurous (as adventurous you can get while at home) such as cooking (talking about a person who had entered kitchen in her life only to gobble food down!) and playing cards (I wonder why I never learned that before), woke up one day and chopped my hair owing to the lock-down madness, and of course, the gym-freak girl has finally learned to meditate (talk about extremes!!). The introvert version of me who yearns for a peaceful life has had all her wishes fulfilled. This person, who’s life’s aim was to stay locked up at home, is finally materializing at least one of her dreams. I look back at the last 60 days of staying locked up at home ...

When you think you are all alone in a crowded street. When you are screaming your lungs out, but no one can hear you. When you begin to feel that you are invisible. When you think no one cares for you. Even worse, when you think everyone is conspiring against you, how do you come out of this situation? If you let this moment get to you, you will feel the end nearing and that maybe you won’t be able to pull through. But this is what needs to be understood, that this moment you’re trapped in, is just a moment, a mere phase, which too shall pass. A speed breaker is there to slow you down, not stop you. But a red traffic signal asks you to stop before you can proceed. Tough situations may slow you down, tougher situations might stop to. But there’s always a green traffic signal that will allow you to proceed. In such situations, just cut the engine, sit back, relax, think over all the things that made you reach to this place. Why have you stopped at this point in space and why you sh...

I have been given eyes to see the world, brain to process what I see, and my body to respond accordingly. If I’m one such individual, I am bound to have my opinion as to how I see whatever I see. You see a glass that’s half full while I could see it half empty. Who is right? Practically, both are correct. You could have your own perspective as to the glass being half-full, that does not make my perspective wrong. It is just that maybe I see things differently as you do. That does not make you right and me wrong or vice-versa. Do you think you have the right to call anyone “wrong” just because they are different from you? Do you think the one who reads a book becomes a nerd while the other person who goes out with his/her friends to watch the book-turned-movies is cool? One does not become inferior if he/she sins differently as you. “There is your truth and there is my truth. As for the universal truth, it does not exist – Amish Tripathi”

2012, the time where everyone is busy running their own race. Task accomplishment is the only aim that can be heard everywhere. You get stressed so much that you plan to take a break for a day. But that off day seems so costly that you decide against your will and continue your work. What is so important that it makes your life similar to a machine? A machine may wear out, its parts are repairable, but not your parts. Can you replace an over stressed brain? A man is so busy in finishing his job for the day that he took a pill to avoid his constant throbbing of the head.                       This happened for a couple of weeks, and his negligence resulted in something serious for his head that now his neurosurgeon has asked him not to exhaust himself even for an hour. I would like to pose a question here, his job was so important that his health needed to be neglected? His headache was a means of his head to ...

As long as you are not dumb, you have one of the world’s greatest superpower, the power of speech. An infant’s cry tells a mother that the child needs her. Speech helps you to exchange thoughts with each other, tell each other that you love them, you need them, and you care for them; apart from your actions. Even if you are miles away from your loved ones, you can converse with them. It is absolutely correct without a doubt that your actions speak louder than your words. A boy can easily say “I love you” to a girl, but he will have to prove it so that the girl can realize. But what if you are miles away from your loved ones? Then in any kind of communication, the only thing that will help you to hold on to your relation is words that you utter. Once the feelings are declared, it is sometimes felt necessary to keep reminding others what they mean to you. This helps a lot in assuring that even if you fail at anything at times, there are other things in life that you have achie...
