Because Life Matters!

A post from 2014!

We always hear elders saying 'patience is the key. You just have to wait for the right moment and the right time'. Maybe we are too arrogant to listen to these words time and again. But yes.. These words do make sense. We all may have had a time where giving up on something that we always dreamed of is the only possible solution we have thought of. But a little more struggle to hold on to things might have actually worked. If you have to let things go,then do it. If it were to be yours then surely it'll get back to you. There are loads of times where you might actually feel left out and all alone even when the people that surround you are your own friends. The reason maybe-that one person who makes a difference is not around you. The best way to escape from this problem is to smile and convince yourself that life goes on even when things fall apart.They say even your shadow abandons you when there is no light.

We make many friends in a lifetime.It's not about how many people came and left but more importantly how many people stayed till the end. Life isn't about all success..but merely how many failures you succeeded. Life gifts you happiness in the least expected times. Opportunity knocks on every door but only once. So make sure you are alert for even the tiniest knock..

Life's all about compromises and promises. When you make a promise,make sure you stand by it.. Ego is something that would tear your life apart. So let it go..The moment you think of giving up on something,think why you held on to it for so long..For every one reason to give up on,think about the hundred reasons you want to hold on to it.. Maybe a little more effort would do good. Like Chetan Bhagat said - "Its not books or the presentations that you will remember in the end. It's the fun and laughter that will keep you alive even when your insides are dying..." Its all the people in your life that matters in the end of it all.

Life - Upside Down!

It is 6 in the morning. My alarm rings and I am up within 5secs so my next door neighbor will not complain about the alarm waking them as well 😋 कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मिः करमध्ये सरस्वति । करमूले तु गोविन्दः प्रभाते करदर्शनम् ॥ Just while i am rubbing my hands and placing them over my eyes - I hesitate to touch my face, I am suppressing my cough and trying to check if my throat is hurting? This has been the pattern for almost a week now. This new virus has not only drained people physically but also mentally. For some of us, this dry cough, sore throat has always been a part and parcel of our lives. But now even a minute of these feeling send a shiver down our spine.One is always worried if this routine is an indication of the scary virus. What is more worse is the thought that if you have got it and are giving it to others as well. While sharing is caring, given the current situation as the doctors and govt is appealing - at this hour of emergency, what is required most f...

Trail To Peak!

2020 has indeed been the worst saddening years for most of us. For me, the weight of having to cancel the long pending trekking of the Himalayan ranges had added more pain. However, with having got extra time with family and many small outings with family 2020 ended pretty well! With the descending curve of COVID in Dec, our Org had also rolled out an update that we could return to our office(though not really compulsory) from Jan. I returned from my hometown to Bengaluru during the Christmas holidays and settled in. Bengaluru had almost returned to normalcy by then. So during one of our chai meet ups, one of our friends re-iterated the thought of trekking again in 2021. Since all of us wanted a much needed get-away, all of us without a second thought agreed that we replan our 2020 trekking and within a week we rebooked our slots for Deorital Chandrashila Trek via Indiahikes(IH)(Due to covid in 2020, we had received voucher from IH which we re-used). And then began our rigo...

I Am All Ears!

With so much of negativity from the past months, life has become so so unpredictable. The unimaginable is happening and it is even so more hurtful when you realize so many helpless lives are at stake! In the light of events happening in and around us, I wanted to write this blog with a purpose to convey that - every cloud has a silver lining! I am sure each of our patience has reached its limit and all that we are longing for is this whole virus battle to end - as soon as possible! I am with you. Yes, the same is the state of my heart and the state of my mind. Initially, while the pandemic began all I could think was will I be able to survive this? Will I be ever able to go home and see my parents? Will I ever get a chance to continue with my travel plans for the big year 2020 as it was planned? Of course! Park it all.. Time is uncertain but what keeps me going is the fact that each of us are fighting the same battle. So if someone is doing their part to stay calm so can I. ...
