mirrors aren’t failures.

Motivation doesn’t exist
There are people actuated by joy. Few others are impelled by pain. Discipline can drive; so can fears. Many of us dream similar dreams. Few who dream do it whatsoever. Few others choose to focus elsewhere.Continue reading
Beyond Victory
Success is not what it seems.
He wins her.
They live together.
They mutually split.
He wins the race.
He boasts and forgets values.
Arrogance becomes his armour. Continue reading

Leave – Six Word Stories #10
This is in response to ‘The Saturday Six Word Story Prompt’ by Shweta of ‘My Random Ramblings’. The prompt for this week is ‘Leave’. I was left alone with boredom and so there are quite many six-word stories on ‘Leave’.
Leaves are equally anticipated and hated!
Eyes rewind memories when leaving school.
Farewell – none wanted to leave home!
Leave your burdens to fly high.
Don’t leave heavy words remain unsaid!
Invisible Foe
Disclaimer:
The post is lengthy, around 2000 words, and is not a substitute for any kind of professional medical advice.
For those who’ve made guesses on the title, the invisible enemy is depression and not COVID. The pandemic may end sooner or later but the air of despondency never seems to leave.
I’m deeply affected by the news of Mr. Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise. I’ve adored his movies as well the heights he has reached, and this was out of nowhere. I also got to read his interest in astrophysics, appeal towards tennis, his astonishing bucket list, and talks on his constant learning behaviour. In short, these indicate that he was someone who could pull off many things together and was such an ambitious soul.

Just like how this tragedy popped up discussions on mental health all over the internet, it also triggered me to write this post. However, I don’t want my words to sound like sympathetic music. Continue reading

Turning Point in 20s when you Understand what Life is
Trying to become independent is a serious controversial issue of almost every youth. This is the stage when I’m about to step out of the college life into the real world. And, in fact, many of my friends are leaving before me.
When we had a funny chat recently, the topic our convo ended up was ‘Life’. The questions included were…
- Will we ever meet again?
- Can we manage stuff all alone?
- Can we face the world ?
- Will we satisfy the expectations that people look at us with?
A lot more can be added to this list.
Even I was confused when this happened. But something has to make the life move on, right? Continue reading
