Adios 2014, Hola 2015!!!


They say what you do / what happens to you, on the first day of a new year, goes on for the entire year. I do not know how far that's true or could possible have anything to do; but there is no other better way (I guess) to start the new year with, than doing what you love the most. So, here I write the first post for this year wishing you all a very very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I am sure what's gone has gone for the better and what's arrived has arrived to make your life best. The year that's gone by has surely had its own set of happiness and love, ups and downs, positives and negatives; let's hope this new year will bring in a serenity that you may have desired all through the past year. Here is something I wish to share with you all, which if you like, are most welcome to follow :-)


1. DO NOT make any resolutions. Live each day to its fullest. No need for short-term or long-term goals even. Simply let each day takes its own course.

2. Work, if you do, but spend time with family too. 

3. Make new friends, but don't forget the old ones. 

4. When in doubt, simply strike it out. Not happy with something? finding it hard to come out of it? Think. Think. And Think some more. But simply let it go if you have even an iota of a doubt about the result. 

5. Don't work too hard towards mending things that may not benefit you at all. Sometimes, we have to be selfish and take things in our own hands.

6. Live for yourself and for those who really matter to you and care for you. There is no point in banging your head against a wall. As a result, you get hurt the most while the wall stands tall.

7. Don't burn your heart out because of people, circumstances and situations. Mind you, you are a loner even in a crowd. "All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players." -Shakespeare

8. Learn to ignore especially those who have an uncanny habit of annoying you to the core. No need to bite a dog, if it bites you.

9. Feel blessed about all the gifts that the almighty has bestowed upon you. Even the air that you breathe, is a blessing. 

10. Be grateful to people who help you in need/distress. They were there beside you when the whole world turned their back on you. Be good to them. They will be with you forever. 

I do not know how far I will be able to do these things in person. But the very thought of writing it and sharing with you all makes me feel I have climbed one step towards achieving it. 

The past year brought with it the most memorable and most forgettable moments for me. I would definitely want to chuck the latter, for my good. However, it isn't as easy as it may sound. If not completely shunting it out, I can work towards "forgetting" the bad/worse of 2014. Let's hope I succeed in that. Let's hope even you all succeed in doing so. Stay Happy, Stay Blessed. 

Ending with a few quotes, which I loved and I hope you will too. 

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment." Marcus Aurelius
"Pure gratitude is a state of giving. When you are in a state of heartfelt gratitude you are radiating a powerful electromagnetic field around you. The radiations from you are so pure and powerful that they touch all those you come into contact with. The effect on others who receive what you are radiating would be impossible to trace- the ripple effect from one person to another never ends." The Secret Daily Teachings

The city moves on

"Everybody is everybody in Delhi but nobody is a nobody," That's what I felt was the punch line of the movie "No one killed Jessica." Based on the real life story of Jessica Lall, the movie depicts the entire episode of the murder of the model in Delhi. There is not an inch of a doubt that all the audiences to the movie had already known what the movie was about to show, but i am sure not many of them would have known the suffering that the victim's family had gone through over those years of fighting for justice. The movie aptly depicts how the so-called "high class" society of the India's capital survive and have been surviving irrespective of what happens around them; despite the fact that the matter in concern involves them as well. It is indeed impossible to understand the people of Delhi with its increasing mixed breed of people from all across the country. Who is who? here, in this city? no one knows. However, everyone is someone's s...

The Window

You have been there all this while, Without moving anywhere, to change in style, Oh! how will you move? You are just another non-living creature, merely a window, existing for the sake of it, in every house or building or office or car; But The Window,I am talking about, does not exist 'merely,' It is The Window, that has shown me everything A tree stood tall outside it, 13 years ago; It still stands tall, only the leaves wither away every new season; It is the same window, that has accompanied me when I was low or happy; I stared out of it into the sky imagining where my life will be years down the line, penning down some memorable poems, or the love letter; It stayed there, while my life moved from childhood to adulthood; I cried sitting next to it, when I was reprimanded, I cried sitting next to it, when I missed my love, The Window, is still there, only the things outside have changed, so has changed my equation with it, I no longer sit eve...

A RANDOM THOUGHT

For the past few months i have been thinking of writing something on my blog. Whenever I switched on my laptop, and opened a new microsoft word document, words just refused to flow out of my mind. It seemed my mind was all blocked. No ideas, nothing, i just sat in front of my laptop looking at the screen and wondering what to write. Days turned into months but words refused to flow. Today, a few minutes back I got a call from my friend, (whom I was actually thinking of at that very moment)and don't know what? just what struck inside my mind and I thought lets open the blog directly and start typing something!! Atleast I would get some worthy writing even if it is not great enough! I dont care whether whatever I am writing now is even making sense to anyone, all what I know is the fact that I felt like writing and that's why I wrote. In the past few days I read certain blogs on WRITING. One of those posts had mentioned that when you want to write just don't let it stop, go a...
