Life

What’s more difficult? Knowing beforehand the exact moment you would talk to a person for the last time, or staying oblivious to the odds of future.In both the scenarios, though the event is common, the before & after is very different. In the 1st scenario, you know the exact moment a person will stop talking to you or the exact moment you’ll stop talking to the person. They won’t be part of your life anymore. In the 2nd scenario, you are not aware that one day the person will be gone. You both live your life as if it will last forever. ...

I never liked having my photos taken. To me, it always felt awkward to pose or smile in front of a camera, for no reason whatsoever. For so long, I didn’t even know how to smile for the camera.But lately, I have started to be part of some pictures. Started smiling (grinning, actually) for the camera. But at times I still find questioning myself “what’s the point?” People I care about, and with whom I would want to share the moments are either with me, or they receive the few images I do click. So why I click more pics, why say cheese every time we find something new, something interesting. ...

Have you heard the above quote? It’s a famous quote by German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Do you know what’s the real meaning behind it?

Even though life might not give us a happy ending.We can still read stories, watch movies, listen to songs & poems which have happy ending. Even if life doesn’t give us happy ending, stories can.In those stories we imagine ourselves, having a happy end. Getting what we feel we deserve, what we want. And that’s why stories with happy ending sell. And why not, there’s nothing wrong in choosing a happy ending. Just because life isn’t fair, does not mean our stories need to be unfair as well. ...

Many moons ago I saw the above status, and it got me thinking. Why should I work? Why does anybody work? A very high level view is, people work to satisfy their hunger. For some it’s for satisfying the basic need of body, hunger of food. For some it’s hunger of brain, they can’t sit idle, they need to do something. But it’s not that simple, it’s not a choice between these two. Everyone prioritizes these hungers depending of different parameters of their life. For some getting a day’s meal is priority, so they will do any type of work they can get as long as their basic need is satisfied. For some, they already earn enough to satisfy their basic needs, so they look for a kind of work which will give them mental satisfaction. ...

Since past few days I have been reading a book “The Course of Love”. There are many quotes which I liked from the book, but there’s one which made me think: We all constantly interpret the present through the distortion of the past. Which means our unconscious draws a connection between minor things that are out of place in present and major things that were once out of place in the past. ...

When a person decides to get married, they say, they want to settle down. Why? Settling down has such a negative tone. Why attach it to such an important decision of your life. Why settle down, when you can elevate yourself. I don’t want to settle down ever in my life. My idea of marriage is not settling down, it’s much more than that. Getting married is a very big event of our life, and it should be a positive one. Our partner should be the one elevating us. They should be the one helping us become a better person in life, or helping us get a better career for ourselves, or just help us be a better version of ourself. ...
