Path forward

What is the difference between letting things come to you and trying to achieve something 

Is it ok to push yourself to be better, to try to do the best in everything you do. To find the issues and problems to solve.  The world, people set expectations and define boundaries in which we have to perform and live in. I know I have always pushed the boundaries and I think that has what has gotten me where I am now. But I think even when the there are best of intentions there is heartbreak and disappointment and the feeling of being let down, when they are not reciprocated with appreciation. Then there are times when 

I never thought that conflict between trying to always do better and be better 

so maybe the problem is the expectations at the end. But I am not sure how much more detached I can be.

social media & opinion

I tend to go on and off social media and I have never given it much thought why... I suspect there is a reason, must be.
Last couple of days I have randomly scrolling media (social and otherwise)... and something struck me, everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to say something talk about something. I always thought to have an opinion you have to be well read, understand the subject matter, understand the audience, understand situation and even understand opposing point of views. Opinion was expressing yourself in context of what you know about and be ready to change it as more information comes your way. But it isn't the case anymore it seems everyone "wants" to have a opinion as soon as the first piece of information comes our way. The word opinion has become almost same as random thought with no or almost no knowledge.

Opinion, leadership and confidence were meant to have depth... and come from a genuine place of knowledge.
The world could do with little less opinion and a lot more living by example.

random thought

To discover oneself is as important as anything else in life and so is to accept oneself.

Thought

I have realized that it is difficult to forgive yourself not just for the things that you have done wrong but also for the things that you have done right.
I have realized how comfortable it is to be with people who are not constantly judging you.
I have realized that no matter how simple a sentence you say if the person you are talking to does not trust you will extrapolate some malicious meaning out of it.
I have realized that it is difficult to deal with inflated egos but even more difficult to keep yourself humble without letting them walk all over you.
I have realized that it is difficult to heal thoes wounds that were given when you are going through tough times it is difficult to
I have realized that if you are always nice to people they take you for granted.
I have realized that some people will stop for you only if they need you.
I have realized that a lot of problems would seize to exist if we want them not to.
I have realized that if you want you can see only good in people.
I have realized that some people always think that they are better than others.

Blank Slate

When was the last time anyone used a SLATE. Remember the black stone, wooden edge, 12" by 12" flat surface and the white chalk and the duster. Yes now you remember, oh the endless scribbling and erasing and those coloured chalks - blue, pink, green. Mine was be used to add 2 n 2 or sometimes to draw random patterns to be converted into mendhi or rangoli in the later years. The slate would vary from the back of the door to the floor to the back of nice wooden bed frame. But how I liked to clean it all - to draw something new or to write that new equation from the algebra class or fix my mistake in theorem proofs. So it is with life. Slate, chalk, duster - life, actions, support system, difference being there is never truly a blank slate in life other then when we are first born. Well some will dispute that too with rebirth parallel universes etc etc. but for now I will start at the blank slate.

We have such different ways of interacting with people and sometimes even when we have best of intentions we mess up. Care too much, care too little, try too much, not try at all. How to fix it?
If only we knew ...

When silence sets in and you look at your life...

What do you see...
The moments that you let failure engulf you?
Or the moments that you picked yourself up?

Whom do you remember...
Those who gave you a hand to get though tough times?
Or those who stood by just watching?

What makes you feel proud...
Those triumphs that everyone patted your back for?
Or those that in private moments make you think yes I did that right?

Who are you most comfortable with...
The person who always agrees with you?
or the one who honestly disagrees with you?

What do you appreciate more...
Always being told the right path?
or making your own way?

What do you value more...
A fake complement?
Or a sincere silence?

What guides you through life...
Every one's expectations?
Or your own decisions?

What puts smile on your face...
Acquisitions of life?
Or a smile on faces you love?

What gives you peace...
nature?
or nurture?

And what gives you happiness...

सवाल

क्यों कभी कुछ सवालों के जवाब नही मिलते और कुछ जवाबों पर इतने सवाल उठते है
क्यों जब किसी हादसे से दामन छुड़ा के भागो तो वो तुम्हें अपनी गिरफ़्त में ले लेता है
क्यों जब ज़िंदगी हम सब को अलग अलग सवाल देती है तो हम उससे समान्तर ज़वाब चाहते है
और फिर क्यों हम दुसोरो की ज़िंदगी मैं अपने ज़वाब ना पा कर उनूंहे ग़लत ठहरा देते है
और क्यों उनकी ज़िंदगी मैं उपने ज़वाब ना पा कर नये सवाल उठा देते है
क्यों जब तिनका तिनका कर ज़िंदगी वापस जोड़ती लगती है तो पालक झपकाने से ही बिखर जाती है
सवाल सवाल कितने सारे है ये सवाल और कहा मिलेगे मुझे जवाब

There is this subconcious voice in your head(or maybe heart) that tells you
... yes, it is about time that you picked up the pieces and move on
... But yet it is not the time to put these pieces together maybe it will never be...

Maybe somethings need to remain broken...

Bit by bit you learn how to hide your sorrow,
slowly you become numb to memories
gradually u become disillusioned by emotions
just for the one you love... but is it love then?!??
