Wishing and hoping are my two favourite words.

Wishing and Hoping are the two most beautiful words which means so much to so many different people. In my little world these two words are always floating around me. There is no day which passes by where I have not wished or hoped for something better.

There is a lot of suffering in this world. So many people are struggling to feed their families, to build a new house after a tornedo wiped off their old one, to get on with their lives when a near one meets with an accident or gets affected by a major disease. Still people get on with their lives. They show so much courage and resilience in the face of adversity. I bow down to all such people. I want to tell all the people who are affected that they are not alone. I want to tell people who are about to quit, that please dont quit as this may be the last leap they may have to take. I want to tell people who are depressed, that they are stronger than they think they are and that they will come out of it sooner than they think."We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Nothing is far out of reach. You just give up in the semi finals and lose out on the chance to win the finals. Wishing and hoping have so much power in them that they can transform the difficulties and hurdles into miracles and success. When you fall - Get up, shake off, hold on. Dont lose hope. Keep wishing, keep hoping. And you will get the power to move on.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence". - Helen Keller.

Small niceties will take you a long way

Today I want to write about the thankless job we all are doing silently without complaining or standing up for ourselves when is required.Being a mother, a homemaker is as thankless as it gets. I ask myself- why do I not think about myself first. Why do I not love myself the way I should. Why are we conditioned as such that the moment we get married and then ofcourse when we have kids, we put ourselves later than everyone else. We should be asking the men in our lives this question - what joy can a woman give to her family if she herself is deprived of happiness. Now you will say define Happiness. I think happiness is very overrated. You don't and cannot run after happiness as It is not an object. It is a feeling of total bliss. If people think that we cant complain because we have the basic necessities and then some more, they are fools. Owning and buying things and objects gives us pleasure and not happiness. We are just human and not super moms or uber or ultra moms. Th

Do you have an opinion yet, no...get one now.

Aren't we all getting too much opinionated? I am not saying it's a good or bad thing. Who am I to decide, right? However, I genuinely think the world will be much better with one less of an opinion. So I try not to give one, atleast on sensitive matters and unless asked for one. These days any Tom Dick and Harry has an opinion about how to run a government. I mean seriously. Also like I said I dont have anything against having an opinion. Every fool has it too. Its your right. All I ask though, is it necessary to give it to all, unsolicited, on each and every matter. Isnt it exhausting? Who wouldn't want to be a person of knowledge than to be a person of too many opinions. Having a say in all the things is unnecessary. Having no opinions at all when needed is also shamed. What needs to be done is having your opinion and holding to it until asked for it. Otherwise it loses its value. People who choose to remain quiet on sensitive matters have their own reasons. For

Help yourself because no one else will.

There are some days when you just get too tired. Emotionally tired, physically tired, mentally tired. The feeling to not do anything sticks with you for a long time. The melancholy which sets in is depressing and doesnt seem to end. The light at the end of the tunnel seems fictional. All that you can see is darkness around and you being dispersed in it. You want to come out of it but you cannot. Darkness is ruthless and its grip tenacious. If you let the feeling linger around you all the time, it will pull you in more. But as soon as you try to free yourself from its shackles the better you start feeling. What got you here wont get you there. It means everytime you are sad you have to use different tactics to come out of the sadness. The same way wont always work for different situations. The more you work at it, the better you get at it. Meditation is one fantastic option. And by meditation I dont mean closing your eyes and sitting for hours together, trying not to thi
