Follow your love :)

 “Don’t feel stupid if you don’t like what everyone else pretends to love”. A famous quote by Actress Emma Watson. Is this quote relatable to our lives? 

Have you ever pretended to love something for your friends' sake? Do you worry about what your friends will think for each and everything?

Could you honestly say that you have never done something like this. Don’t be shy to answer. It is actually common. Even  I have been through such situations. As I  said it is common, it doesn’t mean that it is a good thing to practice. As you get aware that you don’t like this and you are doing this only to satisfy others, ignore that situation as a whole. Do only the things that you feel comfortable and you believe you are happy at. 


The decisions you make, that can be anything like having a coffee with friends or something bigger in the family or friends circle that can even change the flow of your life, should be yours only. You have to think whether the decision taken will make you happy or sad. 

Imagine your best friends are calling you for a dinner party. But you don’t want to go there. However, you can't refuse them. What will you do? Will you go with them for their happiness or just tell  them that you are not coming. If you say you are not coming, it will hurt them for that moment only. Or utmost you will be out of that friend circle. Nothing more will happen. They will forget those things soon. But if you go , you will have to adjust a lot. Why would you have to adjust? Learn to say no where you feel it's needed. 


Your thoughts will be yours only. No one else can make you happy other than you. So be different in your own way. Live the life you like. The people who follow the crowd will not be that successful. Instead find your own path and live like that. That is the secret key for your success. Keep moving. All the best. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a great day.

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
