DISCOVER YOUR HAPPINESS!!

Do you hate people?
I don't hate them…I just feel better when they're not around.
-Charles Bukowski

Don't we wish it were the same for all of us? Don't we wish solitude was the only bliss we could ever have? Sometimes we do coz the same people who mostly anchor our existence are the ones who drain us EMOTIONALLY!
Blessed by this instinct to socialize, man cannot  possibly exist in isolation and this is where the problem begins. A large part of our lives involves the constant struggle  of trying to find the perfect set of people with the same compatibility as ours and an even larger part is spent trying to fit in. And as appalling as it may sound, more often than not this constant struggle meets with little success. The more we try to keep things together, the sooner they all apart. The more we try to stay close to people the sooner they leave. When I say leave, I don't mean they say goodbye, pack their stuff and promise us not to show us their faces again. Its about the change, its about how they were and what they eventually turned out to be.
 The funny thing about Relationships is that even if they are intricately woven they are immensely  fragile. You can give your 100% to someone and still not be sure about where do you stand in their lives. But that's the thing about love, you can chose who you love and so CAN THEY! Doesn't mean you aren't good enough. So when you don't know where you stand in a person's life Just WALK AWAY!! Or rather RUN.. 

It is ultimately about discovering happiness and most of us try to discover that in people around us. This is where we go wrong coz in the end we do end up realizing that Real loneliness is not necessarily when you are alone. And of course being alone never feels right. But don't you go off to sleep alone every night and don't you wake up all by yourself. Who else feels your pain  when you have a cut on a finger or a bruised knee. When you don't derive pain from people why commit the heinous blunder of giving away YOUR right to be happy to people who, eventually might as well leave, And when they do that they take away all your happiness leaving you to shreds, breaking you to pieces, so many that it is hard to pick up. 
It is okay to be in a room full of people and keep staring at the wall thinking about what purpose you have in life. It is okay to live your life on your own terms and be unapologetic about it. It is absolutely okay to wait for the right bunch of people even if that calls for waiting for the rest of your life. Your happiness is your privilege, giving it away shouldn't come with ease. Loneliness shouldn't be detested, rather you should learn to embrace it as an opportunity to get to know YOURSELF, how strong you really are and that YOU depend on no-one for your happiness. It will go on to create a richer, deeper, more vibrant and a colorful you. 
When you are trying to run away from yourself, remember that eventually you have to come back to yourself. You need to fight, and discover the real you, and then there is just one winner..
Trust your story and enjoy the journey! Discover this rare privilege called "HAPPINESS" not from anyone else BUT Yourself.

PS: Thank you, my little piece of sunshine for another life lesson..Not that it is gonna change the fact that, for me, happiness is YOU! Only and Forever :*

Remembering the Good, in the Goodbyes.

Home is my happy place.   Gone are the days of longing for a vacation away from Home. Now, coming back home is a vacation in itself. The otherwise constant cribbing about so much to do and so little time meets with a momentarily halt and benediction comes in the form where there is “nothing to do and all day to do it”. Almost 10 days into, what I would call the longest vacation of my college life (EIGHTY MIGHTY DAYS), I wish to reconcile with my productivity. Marking my beginning with a blog post. It took a while to come out of the trauma that the Eight Semester had in store.The occurrence of events prior to the foregone conclusion were nothing short of exhilarating but their culmination was predictably devastating.  Sometimes, home isn’t a just a place surrounded with walls, it is a feeling that comes with people around you. Finding home in a hopeless place (Read College) was certainly baffling but the obscurity faded as familiarity with the faces f...

The Cup That Counts...

2 nd April …Rings a bell??? Well quite yes, coz a year ago this day witnessed history being created…As Dhoni cleared the fence for a four and Yuvraj had an immense outburst putting his closely guarded emotional side on display, As the Indian cricket team members walked around the Wankhede stadium carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders amidst loud cheers from fans and celebrities ,the camera focusing time and again on a teary-eyed Tendulkar...This was no ordinary celebration on an extra ordinary day ; WE HAD WON THE   CRICKET WORLD CUP …And with  the very thought of that special moment these scenes flash across our minds, triggering those emotions which went out of control on that special day ... This was a moment for Indians to cherish whole through their life, a moment which ushered a wave of patriotism and a moment which once again made us all proud of the fact that we are Indian. Millions of Indians ,even those who were not really keen followers of the game h...

Kangna- Hritik Controversy: A misguided case of Man v Women!

There has been a constant media trial surrounding the controversy which stemmed from Kangana's recent interviews in a couple of talk shows. The one with Rajat Sharma at Aapki Adalat generated widespread buzz, so much that there were dozens of memes doing the rounds even weeks after the interview ended. Some branded it as a publicity stunt for her film Simran while others lauded the effort of an Industry outsider taking on the big wigs of the Bollywood business ( Shortly after the nepotism debate after the Koffee with Karan episode). There was another interview that followed with Barkha dutt which was basically an English translation of everything that was already discussed on Aap Ki Adalat. So, people who haven't watched it yet aren't really missing on anything new to the story. Having taken those interviews with a pinch of salt and considering them a regular dosage of ordinary bollywood masala, I never chose to take sides. However, I would not deny the fact that K...
