Dont be afraid to fly


Dreams are our ticket to experience a whole new world which we long to be in.
As a young kid we all had a dream to become a doctor, and then ,when we went to school we wanted to be a teacher, when we went to see the circus we wanted to be a joker and it kept changing frequently as our minds wished.

Adulthood changes all the rules of life. We can't be naive anymore. The world out there can be big and bad and we always have to live by the sword. The flip side of that can be- we can get cut easily. Dreaming gives us a chance to be a kid again. In our dreams we can be anyone and still noone judges us. Dreaming and hoping are the two feelings we must hold near to our heart and not let them slip at any point of time.

Many people are afraid to take the lead and want to follow all the time. They can lead but are afraid if they go wrong, then what? But if you keep thinking of the consequences, you will never be able to get anything done in the first place, forget about failing or succeeding. When life offers you to take the lead, grab it. Treat that opportunity as your wings and learn to fly. To go someplace, you have to start somewhere. You might fall, get hurt. Everybody does. Dont give up. Not yet, Never. Like Maya Angelou says - We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. Even if you fall for n number of times. Get up, and keep going. And the only place to go is - ahead. Eventually you will get there ,with your hardwork and gumption.

As is rightly quoted by Earl Nightingale -

"Never give up on your dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."

The only roadblock which is difficult to cross is yourself. When everybody else believes in you ,its only you who doesn't believe in your ability. So trust yourself and all other things will fall in place.

Why drinking tea won't change your skin colour.

It's not a secret that in our Indian society people still look at dusky skin colour with much disdain. They will talk about how progressive they are but at the same time twitch their nose at anyone who do not conform to their standards of beauty and intellect. People still think drinking tea which is dark in colour might literally change their skin colour. So the more you drink tea the duskier you become. I cant decide who is more stupider - the people who are perpetuating this to be true or the people who dont drink tea in the fear of getting duskier. Nothing could be more outlandish than a beverage getting to decide who can be fair and who cannot be fair. Furthermore someone needs to tell the dogmatics that the colour of the skin is different because of the melanin in our body which has changed and evolved according to the climatic conditions and relocation of our ancestors for their survival. Just because one is dark coloured you cannot differentiate him/her. The only ...

Is your emotional bandwidth taking a dip?

Dont we all occassionally need a break from the daily grind? We sometimes are so emotionally drained that we cannot handle anything more. We exercise, eat nutritious food, sleep for more than six hours and still feel exhausted. Is it because there is too much on the plate? So much is expected from you. Kids want to play with you, hubby wants to know where his socks have disappeared for the 23rd time, you have to decide what you want to wear for work, inlaws just called to know when you can spend time with them, boss wants to know if you can prove your mettle and that he has not made a mistake by hiring a woman who has two kids and a lot going on with her. So many decisions. Small or not, doesn't matter. The fact that so many people are dependent on you for all the answers can be sometimes overwhelming. When as friends, women talk and share, they expect to get support from each other. They share stories and experiences and ask- what do you think? Am I doing the right thing....
