Being Mind-Fucked

I believe, chaos in mind acha hai…much like, Daag ache hai!! ;)


Honkkkk…Honkkkkkk…Honkkkkk, the car behind was going bonkers. Caught in the traffic of thoughts in my head I forgot for a moment where I was standing. I was creating a big traffic at the redlight. I realised I was in the middle of a chaos. A chaotic mess of thoughts in the head.

In this 20-something age when the career is taking off, one goes through too many thoughts, decisions and opportunities. Its the time when the dreams we have from life is having to face the real life, its the realisation that its not going to be a fairytale and things are not going to go according to plan, its about the struggle to find the right balance in life, to choose the right career path or maybe even the struggle of answering the simple question, “how to be happy?”.

For myself, being the ambitious person I am, this choas is majorly self created. It exists because Im restless about life, impatient about where life is headed and insecure about how its not in complete control. There is little knowledge in me to write about how to solve this mess in the head but what I do know is that this chaos is good.
Long time back, I had heard,

“All great changes are preceded by chaos.”

At the current moment, I cant agree more to it.
The mess in the head doesn’t let you sleep and often distracts you as well but its an indication that you are probably living life and playing to the edges. Whether its a midlife crisis when you have a job but want to do more or are confused about love, it all tells you that you are pushing the limits. That you are doing things right and you probably need to just continue doing it.

They say a peaceful mind is required for going big in life, I say its only when there is chaos you can come back to being peaceful. Simply meaning, having chaos in the head is the perfect first step to being peaceful in life.

So go on! Enjoy the traffic in the head.
