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. ...

Sometimes, the people you love, love you back.And sometimes, the people you love, love you back, but they love some other things too.Things, which could possibly be their dreams, their aims, their passions. And , sometimes to achieve them, they probably have to choose between you and their dreams.If they choose you, you become happy.To some extent, even they do.But after a while, they miss their goal.And they miss it so terribly, that they could even start blaming you as the reason for their non-compliance with their wants.And then things start falling apart.No one wants to be with someone they've tagged as their symbol of failure. On the other facet of the coin, if they instantly choose what they want to achieve over you, sadness is an immediate result. You both love each other, and that's true. Love for a passion cannot destroy love for someone.So even in this scenario, things are falling apart, because  success that is achieved by paying your relationship as a price is prob...

This weekend,I was watching one of my favorite flicks of all times, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara   (You won't get another life),which is,hands down,one of the best road-movie ever made.3 friends.From 3 different professions.With 3 different approaches towards life.The movie is all about how they re-discover their true-selves,their own spark,which they have lost while being busy,and most importantly,the meaning of life,through a road-trip across Spain. Road-trips.Honestly,how many of us have ever wanted to go on one ? The answer is,everyone.The country whose roads you want to measure,may differ,some would want to go to France,or Italy,or Australia,or India.But the downright spirit to let yourself free,to let your soul breathe,doesn't change. But,what is it that makes a road-trip  so  different from the other conventional means of travelling,like air-planes,trains,buses ? Our soul,just like our eyes,loves  everything  colorful and beautiful.Everything that it c...

When was the last time you said thank you and meant it? When was the last time you were grateful to someone who did something for you?  When was the last time you appreciated someone beacuse they did something nice and correct? Remember? We all understand relationships. We understand we have a relationship with family, friends, spouse, colleagues.But that is not sufficient. Today, what we need to understand is the value of relationships. We need to understand, that we need them.We need to understand, that relationships are not just not about taking, they are about giving too.And giving just don't mean materialistic pricey gifts, you could gift someone just by your words too, and they could mean the entire universe to the receiver. Your mother cooks for you.Everyday.Three times.For years.How many times you have appreciated her meals ? Do that today.Your father is doing his job since years.A lot of times he would've wanted to just leave it and do something he actually loved to ...
