Appreciation Post

The world we live in is a jumble of all sorts of people and things. Some are good and some are bad and some are just as they are. Every day, we walk through our life criticising this and complaining about that, but how often do we praise and appreciate our blessings? You certainly won't like the answer to this one.

Wherever we go, whatever we do and whoever we meet, there is always something that is not right. For some weird reason, we have set the bar of our expectations so high that nothing is good enough. And then we say life sucks. It sucks because you sulk

Being happy and positive is not something that will get served to you on a platter, it is the aura you create for yourself. The moment you choose to ignore the things that aren't the way you wish them to be and start focusing on the small joys of life, your world will change. Instead of looking at what could've been, observe what Is. Life is too short to live with could've, would've or should've.

Just pause for a minute. Stop doing whatever you're doing and think about the 5 things that have made you feel good in the past 2 days. If you can come up with a list, Awesome! Repeat this process every once in a while. And if you're unable to do this, you need to take a hard look at the way you're perceiving the world around you. Because you may not have control over your environment, but you sure as hell are the one who decides how it affects you

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...
