Make Time

As I write this today, I realise the mistake I've made a second time. I don't know how this happens but I do know it's not good. Why do people (myself included) tend to turn away from the very things that give them peace? Why is it always so easy to simply stop doing what makes us happy and turn our back to the very thing that keeps us sane? And more often than not, there isn't even a rational reason behind our choices.

So Why are we so hell-bent on sabotaging ourselves with our own actions or inactions? I mean, hasn't life and fate got that part covered already? It's complicated, I know, but is it really though? From where I see it, it's just about the choices we make. It is a common belief that happiness is a choice and I stand by it. I know how messed up life can get, sometimes even when we're just bystanders, but the fact is, you gotta do what keeps you going or the rabbit hole will suck you right in.

There are moments in our life when it just seems to make no sense. The uncertainty and unfairness of it all just doesn't feel right but that's the test. It is moments like these that really define a person and make them acquainted with the kind of strength they possess. We all have something that makes us feel calm and we usually take it for granted. Think about it; when was the last time you did that One thing that gives you a release and freedom from everything that's wrong and unjust? Or, when was the last time you spoke to that One person who makes you feel that everything's gonna be alright? If you come up with the same answer as I did, you probably won't like it. Now ask yourself; Why? And, most probably, won't like this one either.

My point being, life is crazy and hard and messed up and unpredictable. Make Time for the things and people you love. Everything else can wait if it's costing you your peace of mind and a good night's sleep. Things will get rough, they always do, but then that's what life is all about. Do what makes you happy because, believe it or not, You Have The Power

    People generally says that we don't have time to die maybe it's true for few but mostly it's about few seconds of quality time by sacrificing reducing surfing or laziness or things like that.. to get the time for meeting people u love to.. for urself .. be selfish

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...
