I just stumbled on my blogger account after 4 years, I am no longer a teen as suggested by my username. I just went on scrolling on things I have written before and I felt kind of proud of what I have written before, so I thought why not start it again because mostly it will be me who will be reading it. As I am trying to find a topic to write about while sitting in my hostel, (yes I am pursuing MBA from IIM Kozhkode, and my 18 year old self would have been so proud and happy) I stumbled on the thought: what makes a story worth remembering? The kind of stories you remember even after years, an episode of some favourite series or cartoon you remember vividly and you just get excited to narrate it again, or a childhood memory from summer vacation or something that happened in your school or college or workplace or a trip! Just pause here for a second and think about the story which is on the top of your head after reading this sentence. And it's alright if you can’t think of anything right now. Sometimes our brains get too foggy because we are too busy just surviving that it just pushes back all these stories. But there must be something you could think of. Next time instead of doomscrolling allow your brain to get bored, think through things (not overthinking guys!) Think about what was good in your day, a cup of coffee also counts, try to relieve the present moment. Just feel the air passing through your nostrils, or the air brushing your arms and all the sounds you could hear around you.. You exist in this beautiful world and it is not by any chance. You deserve to be here and see all the beautiful springs, sunny summers and cozy winters. So, let’s get back again to the point, what makes a story worth remembering? All I could think of is that the moments you were fully present makes it worth remembering. I could never forget when I went water rafting for the first time, because I was fully in the moment and I was feeling alive because the flow of the river was threatening me that it could take it away from me in a split second! So guys the key is stay present, not the easiest thing always but keep trying :)

Pain Demands To Be Felt

Do you remember when Hazel Grace in the book ‘The fault in our stars' said to Issac that ‘Pain demands to be felt' when he was moaning over his ex Monica who dumped him because he was gonna blind after few days. It sounds ridiculous telling a person in the pain that pain demands to be felt. But now wait a minute and just wonder what if no pain existed in this world. Neither physical nor emotional. Wouldn’t be our lives more easier? It would become more easier to get over your ex or sleep peacefully when you have a fracture in your arm. Sounds amazing. Right?  Now just imagine you are walking bare footed on a beautiful morning and you get a thorn in your feet accidentally, but as you don’t feel pain you don’t bother about it but that thorn dive deeper in your nerves and you are dead another day. We feel pain not because it is meant to be like this. We feel pain so that we can do something about that, we can dive deeper towards the reason why we are feeling that pain and how we c...

The World Of Imagination And You

Imagination.. What an amazing word. Isn’t it? We all humans are blessed with the ability to imagine.  We all spend a significant amount of time while imagining the things which are not likely to take place in actual world. It is somewhat like teleportation. We are just teleported to the strange and amazing world of our dreams where things work according to us and that world really seems to be a wish granting machine. We are adorned on the thorn and we are the king/queen of that world. We are the one who make rules and decide each character and it’s significance. It is only the ability of imagination that we get to read amazing Harry Potter series or watch that all wonderful Disney and marvel pictures and hear to the great poets. But you know what every thing have two sides so does imagination. Someone quoted that “we suffer more in our imagination than reality. “  When we are busy imagining our strawberry world and get some failure or challenge in our real life. We literal...

The Invisible Light Inside You

Embracing the light inside you is the best gift you can give to yourself this Diwali. While lighting everyone we often forget to switch-on lights for ourselves. This year wasn't a great one for most of us. Many of us lost our loved ones, many of us went through a long time of grieving, sleepless nights, heartaches, fear of never seeing some faces again, breaking relationships, confined to four walls all alone with a rectangle in your hand. But you know what, the best part about remembering these all sufferings and pain is to celebrate yourself. You, yes you overcame it all alone, when even the closest ones refused to hold your hand it was you who managed everything alone. Even in the darkest of your time you texted or called someone for knowing their well-being, when you needed the love and support most, you still chose to hand it over to others. So yes, you need to celebrate yourself. Moon can't see its own light and beauty, but you know it can't be described in words...
