THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

Image
 'To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live."     - ENZO You must be curious about the title of today's blog, right? I too was. But then I realized that life is nothing but a race course. And we all, are drivers. The race is of course long- but to finish first, first you must finish.  No no no, I wasn't bit by a 'wisdom bug' suddenly. I'm not Robin Sharma, and won't talk about 'that monk who sold his ferrari'! All this gyaan is coming from a recent (and the BEST) movie that I saw. It's called THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN. Honestly, today my words feel incomplete. I cannot even begin to describe the exuberance you'll feel while watching that movie. It just hits the right spot at the right time! I so badly wish that I could somehow explain you how it felt. I'll give it a try. It has Enzo as its narrator. Well, Enzo is a dog. A golden retriever, to be more precise. His owner- Denny, is a ra...

THE ROAD TO BE TAKEN..

Image
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by; And that has made all the difference. I was in class 10 when I read 'THE ROAD NOT TAKEN' by Robert Frost for the first time. I found it to be so intriguing and ambiguous solely because of the fact that the poet did not go in the mainstream and follow the herd. He took the road 'less travelled by'...  Well, poetically, it seems amusing. But, when you have to face a crossroad practically, none of us have the guts to actually go against the rules. To be honest, I am at one such crossroad. Almost all readers of this blog are at an age when they shall be finally deciding what their future is going to look like. It's even terrifying to think that an apparently small decision right now, might have a considerable impact on our future.  Those who know me, know it very well that I don't like to follow the crowd. It's not that I have ...

THAT OLD WOMAN..

Image
Ever felt angry on your parents? Mata rani will get angry if you say no(vaise bhi navratre chal rahi hai). Of course, we all get irritated by our parents. Me too. Whether it's their constant crippling about 'khaana khaa le' or 'come back on time' or 'moong ki dal banai hai'.... IT'S QUITE HUMAN.  Let me give you a few situations. You guys think and analyse that what would be your reaction in the following cases-: 1) you had an exhaustive day. You finally lay down on your bed and go to sleep. You're probably dreaming about you winning the oscars..  And then, suddenly someone wakes you up with a creaky voice. 2 ) you wish to have some 'me' time. But, you have to take care of someone, say your younger sibling.. 3) You not only have to cook dinner for yourself, but for someone else as well. And that too, every single day!! 4) Being a good samaritan, you even made food for that person. But, he/she being a ****, showed tantrums and refused to eat t...

HAPPINESS ISN'T ALWAYS HAPPY

Image
Well, today's post isn't just a regular post.. It isn't about you or me. It is about something quite peculiar.. For this, I would like you to meet someone first.   Meet S(short for stick figure, so no reference to real life). You'll always find S smiling. He is an easy-going guy without much problems. He's got a very loving family too! His parents are SO COOL! Whenever S is angry, his father would imitate his mother to make him laugh! But, S has a weird problem... Whenever his parents make him laugh, he feels a strange fear in his heart... S has the bestest friends as well! They play with S, laugh with S and enjoy with S! But, whenever they ask S to come with them for a birthday party or any other party, he straightaway denies it. It's not that S is shy or introverted. He's just.... AFRAID. Afraid of something we have no idea about.. S CAN BE HAPPY, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO BE HAPPY. Quite the opposite, right? S thinks that he doesn't deserve this happine...

A VERY RELATABLE POST

Image
Hi everyone! How are you doing? I am pretty sure life is sucking out the life from you..  I apologise for a delay in this post. Coz this is already THE MOST POPULAR blog, with a total of 11 VIEWS on my previous post. 🙄 Kehte hue bhi sharam nahi aa rahi mujhe toh😅🤦‍♀️. I absolutely understand your eagerness to read my utterly boring blog(ab toh share kardena yeh blog plss) I know that the title of today's post says 'RELATABLE'. And till now, I've only talked about my misery, haven't I? Well, tum log konse kam ho? You too are reading something which has literally zero use in your life, man! (Mazaak tha, don't take it seriously. Maze se padho mera blog😁) I too am a normal human being, just like you. I'm sure we have many 'RELATABLE' things in common.. Meri mumma bhi ek din purani daal ki roti bana deti hain😅.(although it tastes good, broo!) When I get angry, I make sure to throw away the remote, but not so forcefully that it breaks. I also think a ...

SONG OF THE WEEK- PART 1

Image
 Maine nadiyon pahadon se poocha, Unn logon ko kaise manau,  jo ukhde ukhde hain thode, unko wapas kaise bulau? Mujhke nadiyon pahadon ne bola, koi bhi khafa na hai tujhse.. Haan tu he khafaa hai bas khudse. The above lines are from the very first song that I've chosen for the first edition of 'song of the week series'.  The song is..... drum roll please... KHUD SE by Osho Jain.  Man!! I mean, the song is so pure! To be honest, I have little knowledge about music. I just listen to whatever soothes my ears. And, 'Khud se' is a song which is a delight for the ears!! And of course, the lyrics! More than a song, it's a story. Or a confession.  He starts by saying that looks like the world is somewhat angry with me.. But, no issues, I myself am angry with me(main bhi khafa hun khudse).. But yaar, I seem to find a much deeper meaning in this song(itne dhyaan se Robert Frost ki poems padhli hoti, toh baat he kya thi😅). Jokes apart, we all have those days when it's...

EXAMS- EK ANSWER TOH BATA DE YAAAAR

Image
 Before beginning with today's post, mujhe aap sab ek baat batao. Is there any difference between the terms 'financial decision' and 'financing decision'?? Well, some geeks would say yes, but people like me (by me, I mean the best people on earth 😜) would of course use these 2 words interchangeably! However, if I interchange them in my BST EXAM, then I shall get ZERO marks! I mean, come on!! I don't have any problem with education, but the way it is imparted in this country, is what makes me angry.  We classify questions as 6 markers or 4 markers, but never think about their usage in our goddamn real life. FUN FACT- yesterday I went to buy groceries with my dad. There was a 30% off on everything (perhaps, discount makes my parents more happy than me😅). My dad asked me to check the bill. I tried using geometry to figure out what angle did the billing person make with God's photo next to him, so that he won't lie.. But, of no use. Then, I tried to recall...

SONG OF THE WEEK- Part 0

Image
Kehne ko saath apne ek duniya chalti hai,  par chupke iss dil mein tanhai palti hai.. I wrote this because this is the song I'm listening to while writing today's post. Well, don't judge me on the basis of my song choice. I'm a little cringy in this matter😅   So, a very close friend of mine suggested me that I should come up with a series of 'SONG OF THE WEEK' on my blog! And, I said why not!(coz I'm already out of ideas lol) I have a weird song collection, to be very honest. Most of the songs in my playlist are from early 2000s, something like 'koi kahe kehta rahe' or 'kun faya kun'. There are neither any English songs nor any latest songs. There was a time when I used to be an Ed Sheeran fan, listened to all of his songs on loop. But, then I realized 'kahin toh hogi woh' se better kuch nahi hai!  I just don't get the thing about English songs.. I mean, they don't make any sense to me. For ex- So baby, pull me closer in the ...

Life is good, isn't it?

Image
Na jaane kyu dil mein ek ajeeb si khamoshi hai, Jo zubaan pe hai, woh dil mein nahi, Aur jo dil mein hai, woh zubaan pe aa sakta nahi. Life is the best present I've been given so far. But, it is true that it would have been better if I did not have it anyway. Life offers so many opportunities! I can totally do whatever I want! But, the fact that the rich, affluent and males get most of them is a different matter. Life is full of joys! I have so many nice human beings in my life that make me want to be a better person! But, it is indeed true that they'll leave as soon as they get their purpose fulfilled from me. Life gives me a reason to wake up everyday! Yes that's a different story that I'm not able to sleep anyway.. Life is full of wonders of nature that exemplify beauty! But, since when did nature start demanding 'entry fee' from us? We all have one of those days when we just don't feel like waking up.. Whether you didn't bag that promotion, you aren...

ANGER- WHEN PIZZA DELIVERY GUY DOESN'T GIVE EXTRA OREGANO

Image
For this post, I googled 'quotes on anger management'. I came across a quote which I found queer. It said 'Anger is one letter short of danger'. I mean, what kind of a quote is that?! Well, Anger is one letter short of 'Hanger' as well! This got me even more angry! Apart from boredom, we all go through anger as well, right? When your crush ignores your texts(been through that😕), when elaichi comes into your mouth in the very first bite of biryani, when your parents don't allow you to go out at night.. I have innumerable examples.  Have a look at this photo. Although it was clicked more than 12 years ago, but I still remember that I was angry as hell at that time! Why? Because the photographer refused to give me his camera. Quite foolish, right? But, it wasn't so foolish at that time..  Maybe the same is happening now as well! What seems a significant reason right now, might just become an act of stupidity for us later!  Look who's talking! I once go...

THE STORY OF MY BLOG

Image
 'Socho ab tak kya mila hai itna kuch sochkar, aaj kuch na sochne ki baat ko bhi thoda hum soch lein..' I know that this has literally ZERO reference with today's topic, but I just wanted to mention it to give an aesthetic look, lol. Yep, it's me in the above image. But, 10 years ago! Since then, good photos started vanishing from my life.. It was clicked on the day of diwali. I miss those good times, when I was able to have this WIDE SMILE, without any single thought going on in my mind! No, I'm not Vijay Mallya that I have to repay Rs 5,000 crores, but still.. Let's start today's post with some old memories. Remember those days in your childhood when bringing a packet of chips to school was equivalent to bringing some treasure? When a trip to ice cream wale bhaiya, us standing on their cycle and taking hours to choose our favourite ice cream, was sheer JOY! When papa used to call from work and say "be ready, we'll go out today". Man, it was n...

THE 1ST EVER BLOG OF MY LIFE!

Hi there! Everything good? I hope so..  You cannot even anticipate my level of excitement, as I write the 1st ever post of the 1st ever blog of my life! I feel obliged that you've taken out some time out of your immensely busy schedule to read my blog. Oh come on! Who are we kidding? You and I both were procastinating some work, which led me to writing this, and you reading it!  But, on a serious note, starting a blog has been on my wishlist forever. So, thank you for being a part of it.. I desired to have a blog which would be relatable for people in every walk of life. I thought about something which all of us go through. After a lot of anticipation, I figured that BOREDOM is an invincible part of our life! Whether we like it or not, we all have to do some things reluctantly, which ultimately leads to the phrase- 'it's too boring!'. Hence, my blog. You can come here at any time of the day, and talk about what makes you bored(pls don't say my blog gets you bored😢)...
