WHAT YOU GIVE POWER, HAS POWER OVER YOU!

In the times we are living today, all of us have (and are surrounded with) opinions about everything and anything!

The fact that anyone and everyone is welcome to voice out their views, opinions, experiences is a great revolution and an amazing change in the times of 2020!

As long as it’s on contemporary, political, economic issues etc. – opinions are welcome and these days any topic is pretty debatable and quite constructive as well.

But when it comes as one’s opinions on an individual – behavior, character, background, class, color etc. – it takes a different angle altogether and why not?

To be honest, I have witnessed how such judge mental views can hamper anyone be it you or me for that matter specially when the individual is hardly known to the specific person.

It affects in a way – that sometimes people lose their qualities just because they are judged by people i.e. society!

Sometimes people give up the things that make them unique just because “society” judged/didn’t find them worthy enough.

And sometimes, people end up giving up their existence because they are so affected by the society – societal norms and pressure!

They succumbed not because they were weak – but just because those people had a heart to understand the “so called societal norms”.

But tell me something what if we ask some questions to ourselves rather than being affected by all of that – (answer lies within us)

Why are we so affected by people being judgmental of us?

Why do we let it affect us so bad that either we self-doubt ourselves or retaliate?

Why do we give someone that much power over us to dictate us? Overrule us?

Why do we have to give such people that much of importance?

Why does someone else has that authority to tell us how we are and how we aren’t?

Why are such people are even being heard at the first place?

 I mean I’m a person who loves herself. No matter what – the situation turns out to be I have the audacity to love myself even in my bad phases (trust me on that – they have been never ending for quite some time now) I don’t let anyone have that power on me to demean me – judge me – belittle me!

 

Who are they to do that to us?

Aren’t we capable enough to understand ourselves what’s good for us and what’s not?

Aren’t we mindful enough to process only the positivity and not the negativity?

Aren’t we educated enough to know that we don’t need these kinds of validations from anyone – mind you anyone but ourselves or the people who are our own!?

Why to give such beautiful powers to people who aren’t worth even a dime?

 

They say, what you give power – has power over you!

 

THINK – why to give that power to someone who isn’t worth even a dime forget anything else!

In this beautiful life – if we don’t negate these kinds, what are we actually focusing on?

 

Breathe Positivity – Exhale Negativity!

Love & Light To All!

IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A TURMOIL ; THERE IS A DIVINE PLAN BEHIND IT!

 

To be honest, all of us have a life which is exactly like a roller coaster ride.

Believe it or not, it works the exact same way – let’s just replace fear with a little low days and excitement with happy times. (fear and excitement which are the emotions we actually feel in a roller coaster ride)

It is just the same way you know – the same way it goes up and down and it’s a continuous process which keeps happening till the time our heart is beating.

And in that, life just happens to all of us – what we make of it is all up to us.

You see, it’s a gift – and that gift should be used or to just leave it as it is – is something which is totally in our hands.

They say, hard times are the worst to overcome and I am sure it is (having first hand experience on the same – can vouch for it) but but but – I made sure of one thing in those times and i.e. to believe that there is a reason behind all this!

Yes, the mere belief that in the end everything falls into its place has got me where I am today. It’s not been easy but it’s been worth it and the fact that this belief has made me into such a calmer – stronger – wiser human is something my people would know of!

So all of you who are reading this right now, understand this – specially when the hard time sets in, if you’re going through a turmoil – there is a DIVINE PLAN behind it!

You might not see it then, but eventually it all adds up to it and you know that it did and that my readers is the best feeling ever – to evolve in theses hard times with the belief that there is a divine plan behind this – makes each one of us STRONGER – WISER – CALMER and the BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES!

So hold on – keep going and never ever stop believing that all of this is happening for the best days which are yet to come!

 

Love & Light To ALL!

LIVE IN THE MOMENT - BUT DO WE?

                                        

Right now, we are all in a middle of pandemic where nothing seems certain, with each day something new is coming up making it difficult for all of us to cope with what we have and to prepare for the uncertainty - the times we are living in.

But honestly, we are going through something which you could say is darkness till now – and it’s often said that after darkness – light follows. I know it’s too cliché but its true as well. If you ponder on the little things in your life that has made even a tiniest bit impression of positivity – you have your light within you! In fact, we all have so much to be grateful for – to look forward to – to do things we never did simply because we were hustling between so much to do!

This is the time (as it already has hit pause) to focus on those things we never could do – we never thought we would find the time to do!

You know it’s like always struggling to find that time to do things that give you immense happiness (apart from your daily hustle bustle) and never able to do so. But then, the universe does work in our way I guess – this is a brilliant time to work on yourself – to find yourself – and to do things you love the most without any questions asked!

All of us before knowing what 2020 will hit us with, had so many plans to do and it all came crashing down when we were all confined within the four walls (or whatever number of walls you have :p)

For starters, it was okay because we were still grasping and processing whatever was happening around us and then came a time where we were left wondering of how life would be post pandemic.

We thought all of that, but did not wonder if we could make the most of this time. They say – LIVE IN THE MOMENT – but do we?

In times like these, where efficient people are doing their best for all of us to come out of this crisis quickly and happily – the least we could is to believe in the power of “everything happens for a reason” – it won’t make sense now – but it definitely will eventually.

I know it’s easier said than done, but I really believe – whatever situation we all are in, it is what it is – the only power we have is to either sail through this time happily with a lot more positivity for anything and everything or just sulk about it – make it more worse than it is. It’s really upto US you know!

With that - let’s just re-find ourselves a little more, love a little more, be kind a little more and just be thankful a little more always and forever!

Time Heals Everything - NOT!

The fact that losing someone is one of the biggest pain - is WRONG. The biggest is when you have to live without them. They say, never grieve the gone because they will be around in this life and in others to come in any form and the soul always recognizes

. 

What if in this lifetime it’s not as easy it seems!?

Losing someone close isn’t easy. It’s like you won’t see the person anymore around you. You won’t be able to reach out to the person when you feel like. That void – will always be there.

They say, Time heals everything. Does it?

I beg to differ from this – it heals nothing. In fact, we just learn or should I say get habituated to live with the VOID.

The VOID – almost kills you from within and you never know if you will be ever okay again, because some places are irreplaceable.

But as they say – show must go on! All of us, try our best to not let the VOID reflect in our life but tell me honestly – at the end of the day – it still comes back right?

TWO YEARS LATER...

It’s been a long time, almost 2 years that I have resumed penning down again. I remember when I had just started doing this, way before when a blogger meant being on Instagram and YouTube!

 It’s the digital age today, and looking at so much talent in my current and upcoming generation has not only given me immense inspiration to start writing again but also re-find myself.

 I remember always wanting to return to blogging but something or the other kept me away. My life has changed 360 for the good of course because nothing really bad happens until you make it in your mind! (a firm believer in everything happens for a reason)

 Oh well, reading my first three paragraphs is giving me the feeling that this post will have disrupting thinking which is what happens when you don’t do what you love the most!

 Well, now that the pandemic (which the world is going through) has given some good time off from work (basically no commute time now all thanks to WFH) I think I’m going to get better than before!

 So yes! Welcoming myself back to the thing I loved the most!

 Now that I am 200 words down out of almost how many I don’t know yet because I don’t want to stop now, I’m finally picking up how I used to love this, but yes with time a lot of improvisation has come in me as a person!

Okay, there we go again – so distorted it is that I’m talking about two things at one go completely off track and annoying you as well. Right?

 But this is how my brain right now is. Want to write everything now with every tiny detail yet remembering something or the other and wanting to mention that too!

 Phew! Its going to be fun yet tiring because we all know how the human brain is specially mine always yapping away no moment of silence whatsoever! Hehe!

 Oh, one interesting fact though, as we see the bloggers today – dashing their way through posts on blogpost to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other platforms – letting the world know about their profound talent (which is how it should be) I on the other hand was/is a little not too sure about this. I mean when I first started writing and blogging here, I blogged as an anonymous person. 

Why? No not because I’m scared of revealing my identity or inferior or superior complex but only because I liked the fact you write like a anonymous person and when your posts motivates or inspires or make someone smile or touch a chord with any of readers stopping at your blog – that person shouldn’t just start finding me on the social media but just feel good on what they read about one of the blogs and feel good without knowing who the person is or what it is!

Sometimes, not knowing where it came from – is a good thing you know! I mean when I started this, I made sure I was an anonymous and loved the readers, bloggers I engaged with in the process because those people had insights of their own and very unbiased, they would write to me vice versa. I mean to be honest, till date only 3 of my very close people know about this blog. Rest, I never flaunted it way back then and I never will do it today.

I mean getting followers, traffic reach on one’s blog is so needed today (of course for people who do this for a living) but for me I do this because I love writing. I want to be the anonymous one and just yap yap and yap away as always and come across that anonymous blogger who touches a chord with someone or the other (to help someone in their dilemma only through writing about things I have encountered so far) and that gives me immense happiness.

I mean the mere fact that I was always excited to log in to my blog to check about who I am going to strike a good communication through my posts or theirs used to make me happy and excited! The fact that you meet people through this way too and in the most humble and amazing manner (expressions of words). So yes! I am back to do it again and this time I shall not stop no matter what! 😊

Btw, does my writing sound a little better? Hehe!

Told you, will get the hang of it again as soon as I let my fingers and brain do the talking and not control them! 

P.S. Idiot Talk is resuming soon! :) 

Its TIME!

Its been a long time since I have poured my heart out here…a lot has happened all this while.. and when I say a lot..it is A LOT!

I had given up writing because I couldn’t think straight, but here I am trying to de-clutter my brain once again by doing the best thing I do… and that’s this!

 WRITING……

Expressing comes easy to me but only in written form..I suck at expressing verbally.

Anyway, the point of writing this today is because all this while I could talk a lot of positivity in me through various ways be it quotes or songs or finding little happiness in little things..

And now I can’t… I just can’t..

I don’t talk much to people because I don’t know what to say, if it’s the right person to say things to or not… the thing is I feel suffocated now..

I don’t know who to tell things to without that person judging me...and no doubt I have the best family who has my back always but I just feel If I tell them how I am, what I feel..they will only be troubled more…

The thing is..

I have had my share of tears & emptiness,

I have had my share of compromises & sacrifices…

I have transformed from a spoilt brat to a person who does everything today but I still am at the losing end. As I pen down my thoughts here, there’s another tear trickling down my cheek. 

I know everyone has struggles but honestly I can’t take it anymore. 

                                                                                               To be continued....

A Special Blessing.. .

My life took a turn when I entered the last step of my life as you know with all the major shuffling happening in my life since then.. There was one special blessing which i was blessed with which obviously I was unaware of until NOW...

Okay I don’t know where to start from...  whenever I picture you... Just a thought about you brings a smile on my face and also that demented laugh of urs: P so you know what you are to me:P... (p.s. love that smile you’re having now while reading this..

It’s quite funny actually how we never even acknowledged each other irrespective of being in the same class and having exactly the same opinion about each other (which was wrong ok! :P) I mean if I go back to that day 2 years back..It’s so hilarious what we were and what we have turned out to be... :P and let me tell you this today that no regrets J what happened had to happen to make our bond strong and it did indeed..

 

Today I can’t imagine my life without you.. i mean you are one piece of my life if I lose it my life would be a complete maze.. You are a piece that god designed to fit in my puzzle (life) and only mine mind you: P.. (you know what i mean :P)

I never knew I would actually have someone so close to me after a very long time... I never thought that place in my life can be taken by someone else again... I never thought someone would understand me that well again... I was living my life closing that part of me and never revealing that to anyone.. But you came along.. (My little angel) and just as angels make everything perfect.. You did the same.. Yes SUD you really did that!  I know I have never said all this or hey wait maybe I have :P but I bet you don’t remember them as clearly as I am saying it today :P (and we both know the reason WHY! :P)

Anyway, moving on who knew we would turn out to be this way one day: P but we did and am glad this happened... i am thankful to that wonderful (9^th October 2011) night which has made us what we are today together  (touchwood)!! 

I don’t know about you but bhagwanji really blessed me when he gave me you in my life.. my bestest friend all I wanna say is and i know you know this..my favourite line to you .. “mere dil ki yeh dua hai kahin durr tu na jaaye..tere bina ho jeena woh din kabhi naa aaye”  :) :) 

And yeah right now you must be soooo pissed with me because its your birthday and I haven’t wished :P but it’s okay because after reading this i don’t think you’ll be pissed.. :) 

You’re the bestest friend anyone could ever have! You put sense into me when I go completely insane (which happens most of the time :P) and jab tak i don’t hear “kumar please don’t do drama ok” from you i really don’t get back to my senses :P .. You’ve supported me every time and everywhere...at times am also at fault and knowing that also you support me in front of others..woh alag baat hai baad mein meri class lagati ho :P and to be honest i love that! that cutest tone of urs when I apologise and you say with full on attitude “yea its ok” :P deep inside you are smiling but bina attitude ke do u ever do anything? :P but you are one person I have no objections when you give me attitude...because I love yooouuuu soooo muuchhh... and you already know what I can do for you... and excuse me mere bas ki sab kuch hai ok :P (and I proved it that day :P) ..  you’re my strength..and my teacher as well :P you know what you’ve taught me ok :P and my support system irrespective of the fact that am right or wrong.. One thing am sure of is no matter what happens you’ll always be on my side and I know u will ..you don’t show it but I know it :P aaand jitna u cover up naa your feelings and everything with your attitude...I know it all ok! and you also know that :P ..

Okay I have never said this but yeah I really admire you for your undying understanding nature.. I mean seriously Sud.. even am not that understanding and maybe after having you in my life I have become more understanding towards people..circumstances..life.. but seriously hats off to your UNDYING UNDERSTANDING NATURE MY GUNDII :P .. hahah you really thought ill miss this here? :P

Am just going through all our pictures..videos.. oh my god sud what a drama we r! But the best moments of our lives ever... oh wait a better way to say it.... time spent with you is always..... LEGEND---wait-for-it----DARY! :P  now please don’t give me that expression of “uff ankita” :P because you knew this had to come :P

And I also remember our fights :P which I don’t think has ever affected our bond in anyway.. no matter how many arguments we may have..I have seen one thing in us.. it doesn’t really effect our bond in anyway.. because we know whatever happens we stay united and thats what makes our bond special...

Thanking Amity only for one sole reason and that is YOU... 

GARIMA SUD  = a gem of a person..an angel for me who is sooo pure at heart..straightforward and would never intentionally hurt a soul, selfless (yup u are.. i proved u that day :P) and hey also mental! (cant forget your demented wali laugh :P and i do it so nice baby :P ) a complete idiot ... arrogant bitch! :P yeah u read that right... :P aaaand a full on drama house :P .. but a friend everyone must have!

 Sticking through the toughest times and dancing in my happiness is what is called a true friend and that is what YOU ARE!

Cant ever forget that unconditional support from you...that belief when I had lost every inch of hope it was only you who kept saying all will be fine.. Knowing everything which wasn’t in favour still giving me blind hope...  aand in the end you won darling..even bhagwanji had to listen naaa...because he also knows what a pure soul you are! Love you all the more for everything SUD!

 And oye.. ill always be with you forever n ever..and can do anything for you my bitch :P J and please not that dialogue again ok :P

Love you lots baby! May god bless you with everything you wish for! 

If I believe in friendship today... its only because of you girl! Thank you for being with me and giving me the best gift of my life... OUR FRIENDSHIP...CHEERS!
