「何週間か前、電車で寝てる人を見たんだよね。」
“Picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost.”
I was born, brought up and now working in Delhi since the day I arrived on this planet.
With the holidays right around the corner, squeezing in some time for yourself can…
I’ve recently realised how to deal with my anxiety and fear of failure. It’s through appreciating the journey itself that you’re destined to find happiness.
I’m a massive goal setter. I always make sure I know my 5 year plan and create multiple routines centred around…
FEAR VS. COURAGE: The Battle for Happiness
Life is a bear sometimes. The hand that was dealt rarely feels quite right. Many of us look down at our cards and see a straight flush of routine, finances, schedules, dim corporate lighting and the hair on our head leaving for a better paying job elsewhere on our body. What I’m…
I said these words holding my mom’s wrist looking directly into my father’s eyes. That was three weeks ago…
I remember standing there holding my mom’s wrist trying to find a pulse. I had a profound sense of supposed responsibility as I looked at my father and my uncle and my…
Come to think of it, I don’t even know why I’m writing this but I might as well go on with it cause most…

Everybody says that we have to focus. We have to focus on one thing only. Then we’ll become successful. Or an expert. Or live a happy life. Or whatever.
I love spending my vacations at water bodies, but the beach is my absolute favorite. I love the warm sea smell that permeates all my clothes and seeps into every inch of my skin. I love how the sand gets between my toes when I stand in knee deep waters and every wave sinks me a little…
Whenever I tell people I am travelling alone, may they be friends or security officers, I usually get the same response…
Sometimes, you need a getaway. A break from your mundane existence. In such moments, a lonely walk among the pathless woods or a silent…
A few words for those that disagree
One of the most popular statements going around these last five years has been “Love Yourself”. As if. Media makes it sound quite easy to do: just look in the mirror and say something nice about your appearence, then hug a tree and voilà. I’ve had a very particular…
“How many children do you have?”
You await the season’s first snowfall.
Traditionally, this time of year is a welcome relief to you. You bask in the cool winter breezes, your lungs burning as they inhale sharp bursts of freezing wind. When it arrives, the season’s first snow — pure, white, clean —…
I told Beryl that I won’t be moving out. ‘Oh that’s a relief.’ She said and took my face in her hands. We both laughed.
It’s not always easy. She asks me about the computer and what I’m doing on it and many times asks me why I’m here. Her daughter…
Have you ever wondered if it had been requited?
Would you be braver, conquering tasks otherwise too daunting?
Would you be softer, knowing someone loves you despite your faults?
This is the most underrated law in the rule of dying. Many humans go to their grave without living their full potential and often times, they die with a haloed cliche: “if I had known”. If you’re not living by your own terms, if you’re…
Love.
Such a strong word. Such a bold statement, and lately a word that was so foreign to me. Until I met him.. He awoke something in me, something that was…
I met her 10 minutes back, I was having an idli at a roadside corner when she came to me holding a bunch of handcrafted wooden key-chains, selling them at 20 bucks apiece. She had gone to every man and woman standing at that corner and everyone shooed her away with a look of disgust and words of…
We are lying on its side in her bed, naked.
I’m hugging her from behind.
We are talking about us
I want to see the world
She wants a house to call home
People often ask me how I find satisfaction from learning science. Now I’m going to share with…
Umair, it strikes me that there are voices on the American left that judged from a European perspective would be neoliberal, and they are people who really don’t center their speeches on bathrooms, video games, and pronouns. E.g., Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. To be sure, in the USA they are perceived as left enough to create a vision of the…
I still remember what I was dressed in. A white collared training shirt, and track pants of the purest black. I remember…
Just like in skateboarding, life takes balance.
Hehe
Well said, couldn’t have put it any better. Actions of a select few do not define all the rest.
In a nut shell.
The moment when ur asked by a stranger if the 3 kids that just cut her off in the store was yours. And u reply and say no. Your just…
Maybe you are missing something (just a little detail) : share your knowledge (even is not yours) . Try to teach something to someone else without waiting something back. You will feel better. You will feel master . And finally you will trust your self. The base of all : trusting yourself .
Isnt’it ?
Respect to fellow humans is a basis of civilization and global culture. Every mind holds 1000 ideas and every mind expands horizon of civilization. What truly separates us from animals is higher degree reasoning but somewhere along the line we forgot our basics. Many leaders in the past have spent their lifetime to create awareness on who we truly…
Everyone is a bit crazy at the moment. Graduation is nearing and the pressure of securing a contingency looms over like a monolith. The bubble we’ve grown to call home is crumbling, and it’s difficult to deny we’re all a bit scared of what lies on the other side. The “real” world?
We are at an amazing time in the story of human existence. This age of technology is changing the face of the world at an amazing pace. What excites me the most is how it is bringing us together with people and ways of living that we might not have experienced before. World travel…
I came back from abroad, bringing my new insight in life to people in my old life. Instead of excitement that I had ventured on my own journey and learned to think (as a human being suppose to do), they started to judge me for my decisions and new view on life. It was painful at first, but then I realize something: I had a different journey so…
I remember being scared as a kid. If you go to the playground now you will see children running and playing. They just want to learn and have fun…
Don’t let it go waste.
You are actually a minute part of the universe, probably you make 0.000000001% of the whole concept of existence, probably even less than that. No one gives a fuck about what you think, your thoughts don’t matter. Unless they are good, healthy and neat. Now…
Quando me dei conta, estava no meio do nada, sem saber se devia ir para frente ou voltar atrás.
Já se viu em uma situação assim? Sentir que está no lugar errado, no trabalho errado, no país errado, no mundo errado. E por mais que você tenha uma família…
Life as we know it today is one big blur. People of today’s society are to ignorant to take a moment and wonder why where all here. No one truly understands the value of life as no one can think deeply enough to even scratch the surface of understanding everything. Everyday people go around worried about money and living an ideal life when no one…
“Empty spaces fill me up with holes” (Espaços vazios me enchem de buracos).
Primeiro todo o seu tempo livre era preenchido com atividades tão sem conteúdo que eu me sentia desperdiçando os meus dias. Horas no facebook ou em frente a TV quando eu poderia estar fazendo algo mais útil da…
My Exceptional Woman Friend Denise
By Judy C.
Which leads me into the new segment on JudysHighHeels.com. This is called “EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN”. Who in your life is a woman you feel honored, blessed, grateful and happy to call them your true friend?
What happens when you decide to leave your comfort zone? Well, first of all, you start to THINK. Because…
The Beginning
A 6 year old girl on a flight with her parents, she is not playing around trying to wreck everything around as she usually do, she is just…
Instead of just sitting at home, watching TV, reading reddit, browsing stupid things. When have you actually gone out, did something nice for someone else. No rewards, no fucks given.
Write to be Free
Freedom can mean multiple things. Freedom could be walking in the direction of oncoming traffic, because you are on the sidewalk. Freedom could be smiling, even though you fail to understand yourself at that particular moment. It’s letting what is be. Letting yourself be. Freedom is not so much about leaving…
So sometimes, after pondering life, I have a rare moment of deep and meaningful thought that I fade into. I think about politics, crushes, music, war.. AKA the world around me. I realized recently after one of those rare contemplations on my life that I’m not living life to its fullest. I’ve been so caught up with crap around me that I dont focus on…
Like The Joker said, “if you are good at something, never do it for free.”
Truer words haven’t been spoken. Numbers have been similar for me.
Thing I like about your writing is the thing I hate about your writing. It makes me uncomfortable. I need to get my core shook up once in a while. Whether I like it or not doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I continue to grow as a member of the human family.
Btw I just got your book, I will let you know what I think (bet you will be on pins and needles over that huh?)
Past being the past, nothing in the present may change the memories of the past as well as any effort can’t be done to foreseen the future.
Memories are delicate features of the human, untouchable, invisible to naked eyes of human but the feelings given is…
For some reasons, a collectively self-approval intelligence of my past life recalled again.
This came at just the right time for me . Lately, I have been feeling stuck and just a few days ago, I’ve been changing my routine to spark my creativity. Thank you for the reinforcement!
Lasting moment
I won a huge job last night, the moment of happiness, excitement and heightened joy didn’t last more than a moment. I had enough wine to celebrate this biggest job I’ve ever been awarded.
When I woke up this morning, everything is back to normal. The usual life, the usual morning walks…
I hate you.
I hate you for leaving me.
I hate you for being there and me being here.
Kitchen in Australia …
Anyone who seeks to turn the emotional energy of trauma, horror, towards compassion and kindness seeks the deepest wisdom known. Our culture has a dearth of love. I applaud all those who seek to grow that seed. The need is great.
13 small things you do that people use to judge your personality
Let’s start paying attention.http://flip.it/cm93_
I believe the author is claiming that there is not enough of a safe space for men to join the conversation.
Definitely agree, the friends one issue interesting. It’s a balancing act because you can’t judge others who are further along their journey or far behind. Nurture all connections which are resourceful
Happiness
The person you’re with won’t always make you happy, but you’ll always be happy as long as you’re happy with yourself.
Silence. Your heart gets sombre, it disperses a sense of revelation, a pure gem of emotions. Being unsaid, yet, letting out everything not…
PROBABLY NOT. IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE!
Life is certainly full of its ups and downs. I know it’s something very cliché to say, but they’re usually clichés because they’re true. I haven’t been writing much lately, not much to talk about or not much I wanted to talk about, I suppose. Recently I made a huge mistake and ended up…
No one is safe there anymore. And speaking out against it can in fact be very dangerous indeed. Here is an excerpt (and yes teaser) for a soon to be released book detailing a glimpse into the extremes of this corruption and how wide spread it is in American society today, showing these…
welcome to my page of complete randomness where I will be posting whatever weirdly astounding happenings that occur in my life.
hope you enjoy ✌
Here I am, starting a blog yet again. Hope never dies, right?
I’m not trying to achieve something great here. It is just a way for me to express my thoughts without inhibitions of any sort (yeah right, like that’s going to happen!) But jokes apart, I have been feeling this need to ‘express’. I am not sure if writing is my…
Stories are created by our own, not out of thin air!!
Another phrase you need to change in your life is “need to.” I generally don’t “need to” do anything. I “choose to” do the things I do. Change that phrase in your vocabulary and you recognize just how poorly you make some choices in your life and how you inflict pain upon yourself and your loved ones.
