Give A Chance

"He didn't apologise, why should I?" "
She was mean to me. Why should I talk to her? "

It is often that we think about such situations and come across several different dilemmas. These are moments when we say that our heart desires something but our brain guides us in an opposite direction altogether. No one generally knows which path to pick and often it is our Ego which seals the deal.

What I have come to realise now is that it's very simple to just blame everything on the other person and walk away, but it takes real guts to stay. I don't say that you should forgive everyone who does something wrong and hurts your feelings. NO! No one has the right to mess with your emotions or take you for granted. I'm talking about those who try to make it up to you.

Only those have the ability to hurt us from whom we expect. And if we expect something from a person shows we care for that person. If a loved one has hurt you, if someone has been a jerk But  genuinely realises their mistakes, I think it's a good idea to give them a chance. Chances are they'll screw up again and hurt you even more, but there are far greater chances that things will go down the positive road and you'll get another reason to smile. The risk is one worth taking.

Life is too short to hold grudges and be mad at someone. Trust me when I say this because I have been there and done that. You gain nothing out of holding on to the past negativity. I'm someone who has probably hurt several people and vice versa. And that's the reason why I'm saying this. "Give A Chance" The other person may not deserve it, but you do. You deserve every excuse to be happy and at peace.

Maana humse ho gayi, ikk chhoti c khata
Hassdo na tum zara, do na humko yun saza.
Tum jo hass pade toh ab hum bhi mukuraye
Aao mil ke saath gaayien, dil se dil bhi milayien

      There has to be a limit as to how many chances you give someone. Never give someone an opportunity at the expense of your happiness

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...
