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. ...

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...
