When going gets tough, tough gets going!

Read some where, "God gives the toughest battles to the best of his soldiers" and this single line definitely was a morale boost for someone like me when i was going thru the worst.  While i was going thru a constant battle between love and self respect; battle between social stigma and individual space; between being selfless and selfish; or maybe between being happy and being content; this simple yet strong thought gave me strength to become selfish enough to save Self respect and individuality and stand alone, fight for the correct than succumbing to the stupid social stigma of loosing self respect in the name of being loved!

It was definitely one of the most encouraging thoughts that caught my attention even in the state of despair and acute depression. And helped me to regain the lost confidence and bounce back with an impact!

Today, when i look back on the journey, feel proud of myself, though still not sure how did i get through all; but yes, learnt the most important lesson of life; "If you can't stand for yourself, nobody ever will, not even God himself!"

Always wondered what can be the worst than all what has ever happened around me. And like always life proved that this is not the worst; its yet to come. Few years back when mom's reports were out i was shattered. It took a few years to accept the Cancer! And now its mundane.

When life became normal with acceptance for all the atrocities it has gifted, once again life showed it's cruelest act; and with this i rest my case and stop wondering about the worst state !

Though there are a few bundles of joy who have arrived in this world, still the lost ones have left an void for ever.

May the spirits rest in peace and God give strength to the loved ones!

Just a few days ago, Cute Li'le Angel happened to be in the town on a business trip, and as usual, we almost fought the hectic schedule, city weather and the traffic to have a meeting for a couple of hours. Somewhere we both knew, that there is no formality of meeting, instead more a need to see each other, our own way to cope up with the fast moving life!  As usual, our conversation was much beyond about the life we are living, and more focussed on deeper thoughts. Obviously, we know each other like back of a hand, and still, love to know each other more when it comes to how we are evolving as a human being in this world. And, every interaction we have, inspires a blog here!  This time, the thing that remained was, "Learnings in life" over a cup of tea.  Guess she was not very sure, that even at this age, we are still learning about how to conduct ourselves. But for me, I was pretty sure, i have a long way to go when it comes to learning things. For me, it is more about ...

You Are More Than the Mind

 'The real "you" is different from those thoughts. You are reacting to every thought that visits your mind. By reacting to all of them, you are paying attention to your thoughts and feeding them, allowing them to exist. That is how a troubled mind creates a chaotic world.' This is an excerpt from a book am reading. A book which happens to be a fiction, and i didn't expect to read such a deep line in that one. It made me think, ponder upon even after days of reading the same. This is something that i learnt during Vipassana. My understanding of this is "Things keep on happening around you, whether they are good, bad or negative positive for you, completely depends on how your brain processes it, which is again dependent on what have you fed it in terms of thoughts and inputs (like reading, watching, etc).  They say, we create a version of reality in our mind, which is a product of actual happenings, our thoughts/ideas and our reactions to them. What you pay at...

An year of Metamorphosis!

-
Since the last post, life has been overhauled. It's been six months, and life is completely different now. A lot has happened in these six months, and I cannot relate to myself anymore. The person I was before April and the person I am now are two completely different human beings! Definitely, I have become more boring than earlier.  This year has been the year of firsts! Many things happened for the first time with me, and I did many new things.  Getting fired Vipassana Living in negative temperatures with basic means  Not planning anything  Noble silence for 9 days (Trust me the best time of life) Living without a phone, internet, and family  Lived at an altitude of 3500+ mtrs from sea level  Rushed mom to emergency for cardiac care Went on a trip with my Angel Welcomed a baby girl in the family. The first daughter after me! When she was born, no one in the family knew what rituals we had for a baby girl, as the ones who did all of them when I was born ar...
