Why I started writing this blog?

Ever since childhood I have been told by my parents and grandparents that whatever you do in life, just make sure that you never hurt someone or never succeed at the cost of others happiness. This thought has been the basis of my entire life. At the very core I have always tried to be a good man, someone who can be looked upon, someone who is a problem solver and not creator in others lives. 

Then came a phase in my life when I started questioning everything around me, every person who was a part of my life seemed like a negative influence, every talk that I got involved in only led me down the path of spiraling negativity and I lost control of my own thoughts.

It was the time when I had the deepest realizations, most of them eventually never made sense after a while but some of them had a life changing impact on my thought process and personality. I realized how people can be perceived just opposite of what they stand for, how our mind plays trick and fills the gap with negative thoughts, and most importantly, I realized that no one in this world is a bad person after all.

Everyone is dealing with their own struggles, they have their own set of guiding principles in life and at times they may not align with a generally perceived notion of being good, but no one ever wants to do bad things intentionally.

Try to remember one person in your life, who said that he/she intentionally wants to harm anyone or wishes for something to go bad in someone's life, I bet you would struggle to find such a person. That is because everyone wants happiness and support, everyone wants love and friendship, no one wants to spread negativity in the world. It is just that at times people loose track of their own intentions, they themselves struggle to understand what they want and why they want and often are perceived as anti-social elements in the community.

I started writing this blog because I wanted to talk about the struggles of people who face such hardship in life, I wanted to talk about the mental health concerns, I wanted to talk about the aspects of life which go unnoticed, I wanted to talk about the good part of our existence and maybe if possible help other see the same. If I could touch one soul with my writing and help him/her come out of the miseries, the purpose of my writing will be fulfilled.

This blog is the anecdote of my learnings, my fears, my failures and my perspective of the world that surrounds me, and I will always try my level best to always present a positive perspective through my writings.

P.S. - I would always be grateful to my elder brothers - Vinay Tiwari (My integral support system) and (Dheerendra Bhaiya (DRDO scientist and now also an Art of Living Teacher) for helping me see the good in everything and everyone, despite the struggles and hardships of life.

Live Laugh Love💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Don't try too hard to fit in, let things fall in place with time!

Trying too hard to fit-in in any group, community, society or network can often lead to a feeling of being left alone. It can also be pointed as one of the reasons behind people feeling lonely or unacceptable at times. But, think it this way, Resistance is a very natural phenomenon, everything in nature resists change at every level. Change can only be brought upon with gradual and positive efforts, that's is the only way, or else it will feel like an act of suppression or intrusion. When we try too hard to fit in, we make ourselves vulnerable to others opinions, we do things which don't actually align well with our core nature, we try too hard for others to like us that at times we even start compromising our self esteem and self-belief for it. This act of getting validation from others and seeking a sense of belonging is what makes us feel lonely and sad when the expected feelings are not reciprocated from the other end. A few things which I can think of, which might help you...

I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am

"I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐚𝐦" Yes! read it again, and let it sink in for a while. This quote by Thomas Cooley says a lot about how we perceive and judge our own selves. How we indulge in the act of being liked, praised and recognized by others and how we lose our own identities to become someone who after a point doesn't resemble the real us. We all start out with a dream, a dream that makes our eyes shine, which makes us all welcome the rising sun, But as we grow up, we let go of those dreams and start doing things that would make our parents, relatives, neighbors or even strangers proud. We shed the wings of our desires only to rest in the safe nests, we get so trapped within our own minds, that we neglect to see the real world. We give up our dreams of a lifetime, just so that some people will one day pat our back. But is it really worth it? Is it really worth to live for an identity...
