Give It A Shot

Should I do it or should I leave it?
Will I be able to achieve it?
What if I fail?

These are the questions which each one of us faces more than often. That constant uncertainty of the future is a bloody strong force which is ever ready to hold us back. And as it happens, it usually succeeds in its efforts.

But what is it that makes this force so powerful? In my opinion, the only reason why we fail to try something is our inner fear. That fear of losing or the fear of failure is what stops us from trying what might be the best path for us. Since an early age, we are always motivated to win. We are told that we are the best at what we do and that is somewhere correct but what we are not told is that it is not always necessary to win.

Not everyone can be a winner in everything. And there is no harm in losing. Yes my friends, it is absolutely fine to lose a game or miss an opportunity or make a wrong decision because it is them which give you experience. They teach you what not to do and compel you to make a better path for yourself. The fear of defeat should never come in the way of choosing an unknown journey. It does not matter if the path seems difficult, it is you who has the strength to make it easy.

If you've understood what I'm trying to convey, get out and give that activity you've been thinking of doing a try. No matter how, just do it. But at the same time, don't be afraid to fall. You can always get up and retry, and even if you don't, you'll be able to cherish the feeling that you Gave It A Shot

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
