Be a doer!

Do you happen to be one of those who think a lot, but are unfortunately able to do very little, to make it all visible and real? Ever wondered, why you act like that or why you are unable to act at all? It is surely not as others remark; “you've got no talent”, “you’re useless” it’s perhaps, because you find it very difficult to summon-up all your attention to one thing, as you want to do so much! So, why not face and settle it?

Frankly, I believe, anybody can become whatever they have ever aspired. It is all just a matter of courage and dedication towards achieving that one crazy little diamond, thinking about which you spend night and day. So, here is a list of things you can do to go be a doer, instead of sitting back at your rocking chair and overdosing yourself with caffeine.

Wake-up early- Kicking off the sheet at the early hour is beneficial for all; doesn't matter whether you are a student,a working professional or a home maker. Time is money, so why waste it by snoring till late?

Feel the smell of sweat- It’s kind of sweet, you know the post workout smell of sweat.  Undeniably, exercising has countless benefits; it not just arouses the healthy feeling, but also helps you attain a balance which is a must have and of course, improves your reflexes which are a great add-on to the personality. So, do it whenever you get the time, but make sure you do it!

To-do-list- Yes, that funny thing is a good habit to have. Keeping up a to-do-list helps you structure your routine and gives you the opportunity to work out on the loop holes. You can do the listing thing in a creative manner, and then you will see how achieving each target, would give you the opportunity to have so much fun!

Treat yourself- It’s very important to encourage the self, by treating yourself well. Each time you achieve a milestone, treat yourself, maybe with a blossomed flower, a warm cup of coffee, a chocolate, or anything at all that makes you feel delightful. 

Meditate, to gain focus- By suggesting meditation as a solution, I am not asking you to sit at one place, enchanting some random mantra, with your eyes closed. I am asking you to do whatever that makes you feel wholesome and united; it can be gardening, travelling, writing, cooking, painting, dancing, or whatever. Just try to bring-in harmony and synchronization to your inner cosmos.

Become a self-critic: Because, it is just you, you alone who knows the exact. So, only you can give yourself the best possible advice. Actually, we all do know when and where we falter; it’s just that we hesitate to accept it. But, the moment we convince ourselves to face it, we can actually do lot great!

Flush out the toxic: Yes, please do that, else it will all just ruin your inner calm. Of course, people will make variety of assumptions and some will also daringly suggest and preach that too with an overly-bright confidence, but, I suggest you to flush-out their random comments and let only hope lit your heart.

Embrace your real-self and be fearless: Pick the courage-up, face your fears and knock them off. Common’, we all have boxful of fears, but to truly and fully live each moment, we have to rise above & beyond and allow ourselves to experience a wholesome growth.

So, I hope, you hereby shall give yourself another try, because “Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people, So when did we all get so fearful?, Now we're finally finding our voices, So take a chance, come help me sing this”-Emeli Sandé - Read All About It.

7 Kickass reasons to stay actively blogging

So, what do you think of bloggers, that they are perhaps some ‘overly-hopeful’ writers who think that they do have a handsome amount of readers? Why do you think bloggers blog, to add-on something to their portfolios, to thereafter earn fame and recognition? Or to do something on their own, for they feel totally screwed-up by the systems they belong to? For they have ideas and opinions worth keyboarding and for the rest of the people worth reading? Blogging has startling side-benefits that are sadly not as obvious to casual readers and random commentators. So, today, I’ll put out to you 7 kickass reasons to stay actively blogging, despite of the things that people throw at your face to shut you up from blogging. I hope you be all eyes!

  Gives you a sense of accomplishment: To be able to convey to people, your true opinion is one of those very important things which otherwise can cause constipation and make you feel totally entrapped. Having a personal blog, is like having a platform to openly talk.

            Gives you stability: People come and go changing our lives back and forth. But, keeping up a blog gives you stability; makes you feel home every time you come back to it and type out your randomly popped-up ideas and emotional flux.

          Gives you visibility on Google searches: Yeah, it happens if you manage to be quiet active on your blog. Who doesn't want to be up on the Google searches? After all, it’s like the virtual hall of fame, being where makes you feel great and motivated to go on and experiment some bit more.  

       You get acknowledged: Whether we accept it or we don’t, the fact remains that we all yearn for a sort of approval and acknowledgement, from the ones we live around.  By keeping-up a blog, you not only get noticed by your old pals, family folks, distant relatives, ex-bosses and colleagues, but also by new random people around the world, whose opinion of your work happens to remain unflavoured by your real-life identity and thus makes you feel wonderfully fuelled.

    

          You like a tree grow: Frankly, there isn't anything like keeping-up a blog, you nourish it and it nourishes you back. Isn't that a beautiful enough? And, through the process you will see yourself making leaps and bounds of personal growth. It enables you to do much more with your life and thus brings you closer to yourself.  

          You flourish as a writer: We all write, so in a way we all are writers. But, when you start up a blog and you do have the motive of achieving readership and then you make you sure that you write creatively and while doing so when you push yourself beyond the limits, you become better. And, practising extensively can only make you perfect.

          You evolve and your dreams seem to be shaping into reality: When you work for a company, you contribute to its growth. But, when you work on your blog, you contribute to your individual growth and take steps towards fulfilling your dreams, provided you keep it consistent; not neglected. And, if you do it all religiously, you will be amazed to realise just how accessible your dreams can be.

So, happy blogging!

Recipe of a happy life

It saddens me deeply, when I see people who are incredibly capable, of abundantly contributing to the society, sitting low and thinking of nothing but quitting the process called life. And, this is mainly because they are unable to hold themselves when their expectations crash down. No matter how many scholars, musicians, film makers, have tried to convey to us all that we mustn't keep expectations from anyone, we still happen to not adhere.

And, some such people who do manage to have the nerve to make the final cut are then remembered as cowards or mere victims. But, is this the kind of end, any of us ever desired? No, everybody wants a happy life. So, what really is the recipe of a truly happy life?

Be truthful to yourself: I think, happiness is an inside affair and you thus shouldn't depend your happiness on other people’s conduct towards us. Though, it’s easy said than done but I suggest you keep your focus onto the goal of your life and let nothing become a hurdle. Because, once you let hurdles mount then you will lose big chunk of time and energy which sadly might never come back.

Count the good things: Most of us have the habit of digging out the flaws and imperfections rather than being grateful about the things which fortunately we have and other don’t. And, that is how we lose the opportunity of beautifying our lives. To lead a happy life we must habituate ourselves to count the good things and then use those things to their best and act constructively.

Stop comparing yourself: The worst thing that you can do is compare yourself to others and shape the understanding of your real self on the basis of other people’s opinion, which happens to exist only on the basis of sheer assumptions. Social networking sites have only deepened the problem, making it more difficult to address. People put up their photographs and opinions with a sense of freedom but sadly their happiness in relation to themselves is entrapped by the number of likes and comments which other users might put, in case they fall in agreement with the content you post.

Dare to disagree: Where and when required, you must dare to disagree. None of us were born in bulk; we all think and feel differently, thus it is humanely not possible for us all to land in agreement each and every time. So, you must let it out to live light and free.

Find a place for your head: It’s very important to find a place where you can go to calm yourself down, because of course there will be lot of things in life which will tense you out and tear you into two indecisive halves but if you have that one place (physical/emotional/spiritual) then everything can be worked out.

Embrace your mistakes: It is impossible to make the required improvements, if you don’t first locate and accept your mistakes. We all make mistakes, because we all employ different ways to address our day to day challenges. And, once we grow an understanding with ourselves we then become more forgiving towards others and evolve into better selves.

Work-out: The best way to channelize everyday frustration constructively is by exercising religiously. When you will work on shaping yourself fit and healthy you will eventually start feeling good about yourself. So, what’s stopping you?

Cut the chord with pessimistic people: Our outer reality and circumstances have impact on our inner cosmos; optimistic people sow seeds of hope and bright possibilities, whereas pessimistic people would simply rove the roller of doubt on your imaginary garden of hope. So choose wisely, live well.

Do whatever you love doing: If you suck at painting but you love dipping the brush in the paint bottle then go ahead do it. Do each and everything you like, till it doesn't hurt you or the ones around.

There are infinite recipes of a happy life, provided you are ready to try and taste it.  

Shoot high, straight to the sky!

I see a lot of people giving-up on their dreams, at the stage when they should forget everything else and put-in all the labour that they can, to make their dream come to life. So, here is attempt to bring to you the most powerful quotes by the most beautiful people, to help you pump-up your kicks and shoot high, straight to the sky! 

May dreams of each of you out there, come true and may your lives become more sorted and beautiful. 

8 simple ways of attaining back your lost equilibrium!

Everybody needs motivation, to carry-on through the hard times. But, in a day & age where more and more people are becoming ‘anti-social’, or I should rather say ‘selectively-social’, it’s kind of becoming more difficult for us all to address our motivational draught. So, what to do? Well, here I am to offer you a list of things you can try to attain back your lost equilibrium.

Gardening: Yes, I suggest you to mow your lawn all by yourself.  Vibrant lush of plants arouses hope and deepens your sense of aesthetics which adds to your life a sort of meaning and abundance. It actually works, on my last birthday my mother brought me a sapling and asked me to take care of its everyday nourishment and I did kind of laugh but at the same time I was excited to build and grow something on my own. And, now when I see that plant grown up beautifully, I feel kind of accomplished.

Let the rhythm take control: Good music can always get hold of you and cuddle you to its process of soulful nourishment. But, you have to be a little careful while hand picking tracks from trending genres. I suggest, you lend your ear to instrumental music; Sitar, violin, guitar, piano, flute and in fact, it would simply be wonderful if you could try your hands onto any of these and let the music take over.

Go get a ticket: Do you know, what’s the most beautiful thing about films? I believe that it is, that they offer you ride to a different land all together and bind you to its intensity, making you forget your current of ambiguity and troubles. But, yes you get to be picky about the genre again. And, I suggest you should try watching biographical films and sport films instead of gluing yourself to romantic or suspense thrillers.

Tighten-up your laces: In our stiffly scheduled routine, we lose out on our health and end-up with multiple medical conditions. I believe, 30 minutes of brisk walking is not only good for your physical health but also it will help you gain back the lost focus and reflexes.  Remember, life is all about taking right decisions at the right time else you’ll end-up regretting all through your life. So, I suggest you should wear back that Nike.

Munch good, feel good:  What we eat and drink does not impact our body, but also influences our thinking pattern. Munching-in fresh fruits and sipping good amount of fluid can help you regain a mental balance and shall eventually drive you to go further without sitting back and regretting. Trust me, when you munch good, you do feel healthy and lively!

Paint a stroke or two: Frankly, anybody can paint. In fact, it’s great fun to paint your random visions and to thereby put-out the clutter. Composing a piece of art is a process of beautification and self-discovery. You don’t have to be a Van Gogh or Leonardo da Vinci; you just need to be yourself. So, get a white paper pad, some paint tubes and get started!

Take that backpack out: Yes, I meant travelling. It is pretty important for us all to take breaks and move out to breathe fresh air. Travelling allows you to come closer to yourself and trust me, nobody can ever motivate you the way you yourself can. It helps you become a spectator and see your life differently, making it easy for you to then think of apt solutions and implement them with newly fused-in courage and hope.

Thou shalt do the dance! : Well, I love the ending of “Evens almighty” for this one dialogue especially which Morgan Freeman, the almighty, delivers as the new commandment. Really, I think dancing-it-off is the best thing to do. Dancing, as an activity is so intriguing and intense that you can simply shake-off all the negative vibes by religiously moving your butt.

Don’t let your brain be chewed!

Ever wondered, why our generation is not able to produce any epically extraordinary piece of art& literature? Why our anger is aimed in no particular direction? And, why at all there is so much anger boiling up in our heads? It’s because, we are letting our brain be chewed by forces which actually are controllable, provided we try. Here is a list of things towards which I suggest we better grow intolerant.

“Whatsapp”: Yes, that thing! Hasn't it become one of the most annoying app? It chews away your time, patience, and of course your brain. No matter how much you may deny this, but I rarely across people who aren't affected by this trending trash. The addiction is so severe, that people these days find it difficult to poop without checking the possible new messages on their Whatsapp. And, as it still happens to be free, people randomly keep sending messages of sheer irrelevance, assuming that to be able to use this much-talked-about app, is an act of empowerment.  

Facebook: There was a time, when I had thought Facebook could actually do great, if people start focusing on things other than posting-up photographs and checking-in at different places, just to maintain a visibility, yes this was when people from different states and countries were uniting with the supposedly felt solidarity, over Facebook for various issues. But, gradually I saw it getting back down, when people just couldn't resist from putting-up selfies. It’s become more of a selfie-book than a Facebook. Its content is somehow intriguing because most people love drama and it’s a user friendly social networking site. But, can any of us deny the fact that it does eat away a lot of our time, which we could have invested elsewhere? It’s anyway all for the namesake, isn't it?

 The great Indian soap opera: I fail to understand why at all we haven’t grown intolerant towards the overly-obvious and dramatically ridiculous Indian soap serials? They all start-up with supposedly distinctive themes but they all end-up deliberately drowning into the same sea of loud dialogues, heavy jewellery and gross costumes, marriages, murders, property disputes, and silly love affairs. And, they actually provide no new approach to our way of looking at the individual and the society. People tune their minds to these programs and relate themselves to the characters, because they don’t have other attractive options on the television. Unfortunately, almost every channel these days, is serving junk wrapped in different names and packs.

Baseless trending Rap: Anybody these days goes out and makes a music video, wearing heavy gold chains, an awkward baggy pair of jeans, with foreign models dancing to the stupid digital beat in the background. These rappers ‘read’ out simple and rhythm-less lyrics to which people can barely connect. Yet, such people end-up with heavier pockets than those who with sincerity and a message contribute to the music industry. Though, there are a few rappers who have excelled a great deal by labouring hard on innovating sensible lyrics but the rest others are just popping up like mushrooms and are simply producing tracks which can in minutes chew your brain.

Fake smart heads: Last but not the least; avoid close encounters with people who like fake doctors give you odd prescriptions. Such people would always tell you, to do and be this and that. But, don’t ever forget that it is your life and you were blessed with enough brain and heart to decide the right thing for yourself. And, thereby I suggest you to be a daring experimentalist who could discover and shape his/her world-view by their free and independent choice, rather than following somebody else blindly and becoming just another copy.

I believe, there are a lot of things getting involved in which, we end-up draining big chunk of our time and energy. And, we can work on it only if we are able to locate and accept it. So, here was my attempt to draw light and your attention on five of them.

Don’t try hard to fit-in, when you can totally rock by fitting-out!

Perhaps, the greatest reason of why most people lead an unhappy life is, because they are totally frustrated by not achieving satisfactory success by labouring hard to fit-in. We readily choose to forget our real selves in the race of becoming like everybody else. But, every now and then, when we come across Facebook quotes “be yourself” “you’re unique” “Know thy worth” and this and that, we always tend to put like and share it wide. Here’s a list of six open suggestions, to help you stay high while you choose to not-fit-in. 

Selfie-syndrome: Squeeze, bend, raise eye brows and pout! Is that it? Is that how we must register our days and put it across our page? We surely, don’t experience our moments like that, then why must we fabricate it glossy, in order to be accepted? If everybody becomes same, then don’t you think world would become just a terribly boring place? Share your real self and encourage others to do the same.                                                                                                                                       

Fairness addiction: Don’t go get your skin bleached to achieve a fair skin tone. You are blessed with distinct features; learn how to appreciate that, instead of running about experimenting fake fairness assuring products. Be remembered for your fair approach, not your fake-fair tone.

Dress-up only for yourself: I see a lot of people trying real hard to fit-in their bodies in apparels which are “trendy and brandy” and most of the times they end-up looking awkwardly trapped. So, why not just give-up this habit which not just makes you look trapped and constipated but also doesn't give you the breathe-free comfort, which is a must to enable yourself to put 100% into your work and other matters of priority.

Pick-up the career You desire: This is way too important for any ambitious person. Making the right choice at the right time is the trick to success in both; professional and personal front. Don’t get into the career which your friends and family advice, if you don’t agree with their choice. Dare to stand-up for yourself, be bold enough to prioritise your dreams and aspirations, no matter how wild and weird they may sound to others. If you can dream it, then you can do it.

Marry, if you want to marry: No matter how digitalised India is becoming, it still holds the chronic social outlook. Haven’t you seen uncles and aunties saying with their eyebrows raised “Oh she’s become of marriageable age, I’ll help her parents find the match before it’s late” while holding their overly-loaded dinner plates at marriage or other functions? They are least interested in food, but far more interested in other people’s marriage status, no matter how many degrees these uncle and aunties have in their kitties. So, such people were, are, and will sadly always be there in our not-so-dynamic society. Make sure you don’t end-up marrying a complete stranger just due to sheer societal-pressure because you just don’t need to fit-in and earn such people’s certificate.

Why sniff weed when you adore eating fresh pulpy fruits? : You visit any high school or university, you can easily locate kids experimenting drug and liquor in secluded corners or in their car-comfort with loud music. Well, experimenting is not a bad idea, but following just for the sake of fitting-in a trending lifestyle alternative, is not so cool at all. Do whatever, but don’t get carried away. 

Live your life on Your terms, not on somebody else's.
