10 years Challenge

Visited Social Media just some time back and saw people taking 10 years challenge. They are also nominating others to take up this challenge.

I started thinking - Do I have any photo of 10 years back? And the answer came - No.

But the thought train didn't stop there. I started thinking - How was I 10 yeas back? What is my mental photo of 10 years back? (as ultimately photo depicts you the way you are or portray!) And the memories travelled across my mind.

10 years back i.e. around 2009, I was in Ruparel, pursuing my SYBA degree. I was very active in extra-curricular activities also. I was full of energy and enthusiasm.  People who have been knowing me since really long time would surely second me. (I know!)

I have so many happy memories around this year like winning many Elocution competitions, excelling in academics, working as freelancer writer and so on.

And now when I look back at 2009, I really  smile.

My college days give me many rays of hopes, brightness, happiness and all the constructive and creative elements in life.

For past few years, I was not that active as a person. I was away from writing, dance and photography also. But it doesn't mean that I didn't achieve anything. I achieved many enriching experiences which are motivating me to move ahead and to grow more as a human being.

Human life is all about changes as the saying goes, 'Change is the Constant'. I too experienced many changes and they have made me what I am today.

I am writing again.
I am dancing again.
I am clicking photos again.

And I am learning and living again.

Guys,
Thank you for giving me a chance to go through these memories of last 10 years.

Take care.

Yeh dil bole,"no extra!"

I have seen one advertisement where a water tap is fixed in village and it gets opened one morning. That's a dessert area where one man was walking and he sees water flowing on the white marbles of isolated bathroom. He comes and quenches his thirst. Another woman see him drinking water and she also comes to drink water. And like this entire village arrives there, quenches its thirst, fills the vessels and still the water is not stopping. And then voice over comes conveying a message that - the entire village quenches its thirst in the same amount of water used by urban person to take a bath... And it was one more 'aha' moment for me. I had read in one philosophical book, we should never overdo. I have heard my parents and grandparents saying that we should never overdo. Now what do I mean by 'overdoing'? In the above mentioned example, it's clear what is 'overdoing'. Consuming more than what is required is overdoing. Demanding more than what you actua...

Purpose...

Sometimes people wonder, what is the purpose of their life, why have they come on this earth, what their life is made for... I won't be surprised at all, if you say that you are also one of them. No worries. This question walks through everyone's mind at least once in their life. Some people happen to ask this question early in their life, some ask later in their life. It doesn't make any difference until and unless you get the correct, to be precise, the satisfactory answer.  You have whole right to be confused for some time or even longer time. But you have no right to be there forever. Remember, the purpose of your life and your chosen career may not go hand in hand, seemingly. But believe me, everything is connected at the end. Currently in your life (education, career, personal or social relationships etc.), perhaps you are  doing something by looking at which others might be feeling - what is s/he doing? But trust me, if you are clear with your goal, if you are capa...

"India is my country"

"India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters " Remember we saying this everyday in our schooldays? Of course you remember. People belonging to various religions, castes, sub casts, socioeconomic strata live in India. Consequently our languages are also different. It's a country where all live with love and peace though sometimes we experience conflict resulting from this diversity. My nationalism says that we should respect every religion, every caste in India. Not only I but I think most of us, we believe in this. But do we all follow this? Recently I came across one person who was requested to greet by saying 'Namaste' or 'Namaskar' while taking one video for some official work. But he was not ready to say 'Namste' or 'Namaskar'. While being asked about this, he said "Sir didn't you look at the 'Religion' in my form? But the same person was ready to say 'Hello'. I found it strange. He was ready...
