Goodbye 2012. Happy New Year!


Here are some of my lessons of 2012. To be honest, my experiences over time have made me really smart. Now, every time something goes wrong, I don’t cry; I don’t question why. I just sit and analyze. I know it is boring; but it really is a better way to solve issues.




1.       Take up fitness seriously! Health is wealth. Getting out from death bed, I became a better runner in just 8 months. Now, I can proudly post timings of my run and brag!
2.      Let go of unwanted things in life. Donate books, clothes, accessories, medicines and even your precious time to the needy. It will remain in your memory and make you smile all the while.

3.      When nostalgia strikes, just watch comedy shows. Believe me; revisiting old times is a plain waste. Because it is human tendency to remember the bad times more often than the good moments.
4.      Music is the solution to almost everything. For everything else, there is Sleep! :P 




1.       Let go of people who upset you. In personal life, at work and even online. If you don’t like someone, be polite and just leave. After few days, it won’t even matter. It is nature’s tendency to fill up void spaces.
2.      Do only those things that you want to. End of the day, if it doesn’t make you smile, it is not worthwhile. Life is too short to waste time on upsetting things. Do not give-up to pressures. Remember - At first, they’ll ask you why you’re doing it. Later, they’ll ask you how you did it!


1.       Whatever happens with you today was planned long ago. So it is for good that it has happened to you. Of course, not justifiable at extreme, but always good. Like Team India’s performance! Never took practice seriously and look at what we are now! :P

2.      If it is bad, try to change it. If it good, make it best. If it already the best, preserve it. I do it all the time with my nail color, blogs, drawers, photos.
3.      People you really loved once will leave you. Be upset, as being loved is a priceless feeling. But don’t stop there. Miss them, but don’t stop meeting new people. 



1.       Make new friends. But at the end of the day, make sure you have one special friend with whom you can share your day’s story. If you don’t have someone like that, become one. Everyone here needs a BFF.

2.      But also remember, you cannot be friends with everyone. And there are definitely some people who can never be your friends. Don’t bother about such people. Learn to discard them. These days it is really easy. All you have to do is “unfriend” or “unfollow” or delete them from the phonebook. Believe me, you’ll never need them. Never.

3.      Old friends will leave you too. Let them go. You cannot stop time. You cannot change the destiny.
4.      Love yourself the most. (Most important)!!!



1.       Be happy with "Now". Keep smiling. Take things lightly. You won't escape happiness, just like you won't escape pain. :)
2.      Everyone (even your loved ones) will say something that’ll hurt you, upset you. Stay calm. Trust yourself. Think it is God’s way to test your talent. You shall succeed. Faith in self is as important as faith in the Almighty.

3.      Indian Cricket is suffering at this time. Support them. They are committing mistakes and losing the games. But so have we. Mistakes are a part of this journey called life.
4.      Do not run away from your responsibilities to your country. As of now, we are ashamed of everything happening around us. So, don’t give up yet. Remember “however far wrong goes, right is always a step ahead!”

5.      Fight, if you have to. But sort all your differences. Don’t carry grudges to the next day. When you wake up, think of newer problems. They are in infinite numbers; old ones will get boring! :P 



1.       Say sorry. Gandhiji was right. Asking for forgiveness requires real guts.
2.      Forgive easily. It is the virtue of a strong. And you are!
3.      Keep your parents happy. They will be the only people who “care unconditionally”.
4.      Stay close to your cousins. Buggers will always be there, in every occasion, to make fun of uncles and aunties at functions! J
5.      Dream. You’ll know what you exactly want in life. Someday you’ll wake up and will want to make them true. Try; go against the odds. For your dreams are yours, no one else will ever understand.



1.       Learn from your favorites. They are your beloved for a reason. Find out why and follow. Make yourself even better! Rahul Dravid has taught me a lot. How to be classy all the time! Stay dedicated, results will follow!
2.      Thank God. You have to. For He has blessed you with everything you should have.
3.      Thank me for writing so much! :P :P :P Hope it has helped you in some way!

And I thank you for reading this. Happy New Year. 2013 is going to be awesome!
“I know because making it better than 2012 is in my hands. And I trust myself! J

Extremities


To begin with: here's a story that will explain how selfish the world is!

Its about mom monkey and baby monkey. They were taken to a lab for conducting an experiment. The experiment was to identify if the mom monkey will sacrifice herself or will rather sacrifice baby? Shocking? Wait till the results...

Both the monkeys were placed in the glass container to be filled with water. Initially, when the water level was low, the mom was holding the baby close to her heart covered with her hands. As the water level started rising, mom took the baby and placed it on her shoulders. Further still, she kept her baby on her head. By now, the water level had reached her neck.

As the water level increased to her nose and then, eyes.. Something beyond "shocking" happened. No, mom didnt try to protect her child. Instead she took her baby, put it down into the water and tried to stand over the child to rise to a level above water. 
..............................................................................................................................................
She was trying to save herself over the baby!! True, Even my eyes popped out! I too fell short of words to express! I gawked at the situation! 

This is what life is all about! At 1 instance, you'll do everything for the person who u "suppose" to love the most. But the next minute, u'll have to choose between self interest (save yourself) or your dear love!
May of us reading this will be thinking "no, no! how is this possible?" I would do anything for my love (read: mom, dad, bro, sis, friend, wife, etc..)! My question: even if it means u'll have to die??

Not an easy question to answer: We have never had to experience such dreaded situations. Its ok to be selfish. its ok to be generous. But beyond a limit; U r a pushover or u r a high-maintenance!

We know: Life changes, ppl change, situations change, even nature changes! So its ok to behave as per the conditions of life. Life demands; it has its own rulebook. All we do is: B the puppet!!

Till yesturday, u were with me. U wanted me, U were so close to me, U loved me! U knew I needed u.

And today, u are nowhere. U dont need me anymore, U are too far to comeback, U found others to fall in love with. But u know, I still need U!

Thats how selfish I am! I just cant get enough of u. I want more and more! I am so mean that just my love is not enough for us. I want ur love as well. I want to be that 1 person of ur life! and the Only 1! I want all ur attention focused on me. I want you besides me all the time. I want to keep talking to u 4ever! I want u to keep holding me in ur arms till my last breath! I want you to know me and be with me even when I m not the perfect person! I want you to understand me, care for me, trust me and ofcourse, love me!!!!

I want... I just want... I want and want more...!!!
