Vidushi Gupta : The SoulHome

Lou Suffern is a businessman,running all day,everyday,always wishing he was two,capable of being in two places at the same time.He worship work,and think his family cannot fire him,but his work can,and therefore neglect the people he share his life with.But then one day,he meet someone who changes his life,and he actually turns into two.And then,another day his life changes again,and he realises he should've paid much heed to his family,because at the end of the day,they're all that matter. When I finished reading this book "The Gift" written by famous Irish writer Cecelia Ahern,I was stuck.And no,I wasn't stuck in the book,but instead in the point that the writer made in the end.I could keep myself in the protagonist's shoes,and if you read the book,I can bet you could too.This could've been anyone's story in any part of the world. When a baby is born,everyone around celebrates.They take care of the baby,providing him/her with everything he or sh

She checked her phone for the time.Six A.M,it flashed.She rose up from her couch,went to the kitchen and made some coffee for herself.She hadn't slept the whole night,not for a single second. She hadn't even gone to bed,sat on her couch the entire night,and now she knew it was useless to go to sleep,she would have to wake up in an hour anyway.She went to the balcony with her mug,and sat on the swing for which she had searched the entire city.It was a mid October slightly chilly,but marvelously beautiful morning.She loved fall,the season,the falling leaves,the laziness,everything about it always brought back so many memories.She watched the street intently. She saw some kids riding to school,her school,and immediately time traveled seven years in past,when she used to go to the same school.She had studied in it for fourteen years,and it meant home to her. She felt nostalgic.The same she felt about this city,her hometown, where she had lived for the past twenty four years,basic

"I am nothing special,of this I am sure.I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life.There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough." When 'Noah Calhoun' from 'The Notebook' quoted these words,he meant he was content in loving someone.He clearly excluded Allie's love from his 'enough'. And when he quoted these words,we all wondered,whether as readers or the movie audience for a second that how can he still love and miss Allie,whom he hasn't met in fourteen years,neither has he heard from her even after 365 letters,and most of all,whom he had seen with someone else.(He saw Allie and Lon in the city,remember ?) Even though Noah and Allie were very much in love once,and even though Allie still thinks about Noah,she is clearly depicted to be in love with Lon and is happy marrying him,until she has a reun

As humans,we all have a tendency of being hopeful for our things to happen.We often live our whole life in expectations . Expectations from ourselves of achieving our ambitions, expectations from others to act in a certain way we want them to,expectations from external happenings to turn out the way we imagined.As humans,we want to have everything our way,so we keep on expecting things and as a result,keep on hurting ourselves when our expectations don't get fulfiled,which is more likely to happen in the world we live in. The ocean of our expectations is vast . Profession,grades,relationships,people,places,dreams,we expect so much from so many aspects of our life.We even expect so much from a single day that sometimes we just base the beauty of the day on the outcomes of our expectations. If we did achieve what we had expected,then it was beautiful,and if we didn't,the day was plainly sadistic. Same is the case when it comes to people.In relationships,people sometimes ought to

"Before you fall in love with someone else,fall in love with yourself.Before getting to know someone else,try to know your own self.Who are you really,ask yourself this question.Don't get confused between what you've and who you are.You're not your professional degree,you're not your passions,you're not the materialistic things you own,and you're definitely not your favorite color . You're not in the things you've always thought to be yourself.Ask yourself this question "Who am  I  ? " and if you get an answer that includes what you do or want to do,what you have or want to have,or what you like or dislike,you need another answer." Finding oneself is the most difficult,yet the most important quest for a person.Some people live for 90 years but  still don't know what really liberates them,or what are the things in themselves which makes them feel most  alive.But sometimes,you can locate a 16 year old,describing themselves so b

Pain is a natural phenomenon.Pain can strike someone,anyone,anywhere,at any time.Pain could last for a moment,or can even last forever.Pain can be physical,spiritual,emotional,financial.Pain can be measurable,or too much to handle.Pain,sometimes can be absolutely hilarious,and sometimes could be as dark as depression.Pain can be secretive,or can be like an open book.Pain can be understood,and sometimes hits beyond definitions.Pain can be shared,pain can silently be taken to grave.Pain can be yours,pain can be mine,pain can be their's.Pain,just like happiness,comes in all sizes,in all forms.But it comes,it surely does. If we're all surrounded by pain,in different forms,specific to every individual's life,why is that only very few decide to be vocal about their's ? Why is that only a few amongst us have the courage to show that they're in pain ? Why is the only a handful have the ability to cry,share and talk about the feelings they're feeling ?No,honestly,plea

There is this one quality of human beings,that is so powerful when they're kids,but slowly starts diminishing as they grow up-the quality of learning.Tell a 3 year old a method of doing a thing,and he/she will intensely observe it and try to learn the same.Try repeating the process with a 30 year old and watch them go all egoistic.Tell 10 new things to a bunch of 10 children,and they'll listen patiently.Try telling 10 new things to a team of 40 year olds,and they'll out-rightly ask how many of them are profitable to them. When we're young,we obviously are devoid of knowledge and/or wisdom. And that's why we've this urge of knowing things.Children want to learn,they want to learn everything. They want to learn about science,and they want to learn about philosophy. They want to apply physics in reality,and they want to act in a shakespeare'n play.They have this passion of wanting to know anything,everything.The field of concerned knowledge,the subject,its app

Okay.So the Valentine's week has already started.No,I'm not saying so because I am regularly updated with the correct day and date,but because valentines is written in all the ambience. The proverb,"love is in the air" was probably written in this month of February. The season of spring has begun.New born leaves,sun again rising and shining,beautiful noons,and subtly cool romantic evenings.Romance is all over on nature too.Yes,it's the season of romance,love,affection and care. A lot of you must have already started to prepare for this week.Buying roses,chocolates,cute teddy bears,a list of promises already made  for that special someone . Haven't you ? And thats great,truly appreciable. But what about the unfortunates ones,who won't get to celebrate this 14th February with the one they love ?Are you guys feeling really low? I bet you're. Sometimes,love tests all of us . Sometimes love tests itself. And sometime,time tests love.But out of all these t

When someone asks me what is my biggest acheivement in life,I really don't have to think for an answer."My failures", comes the prompt reply.The questioner, obviously, doesn't get my answer."How ?" comes another query."Because, if today I am standing strongly by myself, that's because I fell numerous times yesterday." Failures are the stepping stone to success.We've all learnt it when we were children, and we even used to learn it very enthusiastically, probably because we didn't knew what failures really means.But as we grow up, we start facing failures.Sometimes we fail in an examination, sometimes we fail in a relationship. Sometimes our career gives us a bumpy ride, sometimes our health is stooping low.Even failing in being happy is a failure.Failures, failures everywhere.But you know what is the worst kind of failure ? Failing to accept a failure is the worst kind of failure.Failing to learn from a failure is the biggest failure.
