New Year, New Hopes, New Promises !!

The first week of the year went pretty well. I started my year doing things which I love the most -dancing and acting. I spent most of my last week dancing and preparing for a class-party drama . It was a week filled of excitement, fun and enjoyment 🙂 . Even dedicated time to myself and my dear ones.

Hoping I remain satisfied throughout the year. My new year resolution is to focus more on myself, to give more to myself, think less about what others are up to and above all, improve my health.I read it somewhere that your twenties are supposed to be your “selfish” years , the time when one should definitely think about their own desires and interests. I wish to do that !!

 I am purposely making my resolutions public, because then I would take more efforts to keep up with them. My goal is to have minimum regrets and complaints at the end of the year !!

I have many plans for the upcoming weeks, and months. All I can do is believe I will achieve all those goals. I am just glad I had a great start to the new  year 🙂

Off the Track!

Something is wrong with me these days!  Weird things happening to me!  Or rather I am behaving weirdly….

Many things have changed in me. I don’t like the changes though. I am becoming lazy :-/  I get late for college everyday. I am the kind of person who preferred getting up before the sunrise, I believe watching the sunrise gives me energy for the whole day. Never in the last 3 years I have been late continuously for about 2 weeks.

I am a litte lost these days too. Yesterday I got in the wrong train. And now, today,  I forgot to get down, realized after 3 stations . Waiting at the platform for my Andheri train,  I am wondering what is  wrong with me!!

Another complaint I have from myself is that I am sleeping a lot these days.  Like more than required. I used to go on for days with sleeping for 3 hours also !!

Maybe I am just too tired being punctual.  Or that my exams were so exhausting that my body and mind wants to relax.( Even though I took many breaks 🙂 )

I don’t even spend much time with family. I just go home, finish some of my tasks and sleep.

I write less these days. There was a time I posted daily.

Maybe I have just entered the lazy mode after being in the nerd mode 😉
Whatever it is,  I will be back on track. I have to,  and want to…
Life is all about believing in oneself ultimately…:-)

Time is the Ultimate Master

We all have complained and still do , sometime or the other , about people changing their behaviours, attitudes and thinking. We may like some person since years, but start disliking the same person later in life. Then , we eventually start blaming ourselves for the wrong decision , or the wrong situations. We always compare situations , and people ,” You were not like this “, “You haven’t done this before” or a simple clean statement -“You have changed”. 

These are some of the dilemmas we all face in our day to day life. We interrogate ourselves and try to find the answer of “What went wrong?” It is just that the time is dynamic and never-pausing. Time decides the situations , need, and behaviour. 

Where changing times is the reason for many problems, time is truly the best healer too. I have realized that it’s not in our hands to control certain things.We should accept that priorities change with time too. Continuously thinking and trying to find a solution would not help always. Sometimes it just better to leave the things as they are and let time take the decision. 

Time will give the answers to all our questions.. just hold on and keep faith and trust. 🙂

Finally … !!!

Yeah, finally , I am writing a new post. Finally my exams over . It was like a time attack. So many presentations,vivas, exams in so less time . But finally they are over.

A lot of things happened to me , in the last 1 month. I turned 21 too 🙂 Oh this is my first post after turning 21 !! I realised who are the people who really care for me , love me truly . I am very lucky to have such people with me , always 🙂

College kept me busy most of the time. I had almost no social life. Even don’t know what is going on in family. But I am supposed to behave professionally and maturely as I am doing MBA( My professor’s favourite dialogue). 😉 Truly, but now I think I am immune against pressure / stress/ excessive multitasking, Thanks to college. I have lots to update, and narrate my lessons learned.

Will be catching everyone’s posts too 🙂

Happy writing 🙂

In the limelight

Finally done with my research proposal submission.  Not that I had to struggle a lot for that,  but sometimes the happiness is just because it’s over.  😉

Happy to have some time for myself. It was an amazing day today and I am very happy. One reason being that the submission is over… another is that I was in the limelight.  😉

Yes,  in the limelight, for my acting skills,  for my entertaining power and my ability to make people laugh.  🙂 And also for being a good and active student too 😉

It feels amazing to make people laugh,  to make someone forget their worries and to make them laugh till it hurts. I laugh with them too. I really like it when people appreciate me,  as an actor,  as an mimic. 

As a child, I always wanted to be an actress,  or a dancer.And then A phase came when I was keen on being a writer. But dreams fade eventually.

But today, I have no regrets , even though not a writer,  a blogger,  with decent followers. Even though not an actor,  I exhibit my talent. Not a dancer,  but will never leave a chance to dance, everyone is aware of it 😉 . In the limelight, not on a big stage,  but it matters…Life is all about living up with your dreams and realizing then too.

A big big thanks to everyone who encourage,  appreciate,  and for their love..  I know I am awesome 😉

Keep Laughing.

Smile More, Laugh More

Its difficult to define happiness, it’s a feeling experienced,  felt and expressed.  When asked to define happiness or reasons behind it,  we wouldn’t have a perfect answer.
My friend asked me yesterday,  reasons why I am always smiling and happy , and highly motivated.
I couldn’t give him the answer. So I went introspecting myself to realize some of the things,  which make me happy.

I find happiness even in the smallest possible things, starting from seeing the sunrise,  seeing the sunset to as minute as a good friend complimenting or appreciating . Nature is my biggest inspiration. It defines life,  with all it’s shades..  Brightness,  dull,  cloudy,  darkness.  Every day has some thing or event as bright and inspiring as the sunrise and as hard as the darkness of the night.

Another simple thing I follow,  smile, a lot,  whenever possible. There are many benefits of it.  It reduces stress,  keeps a light mood.  Even if people think you are mad at times..as long as its doing good to you,  it’s no harm. Research claims that smiling and laughing more is very healthy and it makes us more happy.

Dance… It’s another thing which makes me happy. I always dance a little, everyday, whenever possible. It makes me forget my worries and frustrations.  As Vh1 says,  Life is a dancefloor and You are the music. Life is incomplete with us. Do one thing which makes you happy and forget the rest.

Help someone,  bring smile in someone else’s life,  atleast for that day 😉  . Helping others makes me happy too..

Don’t think what others think about you. Just be yourself. Because when we dont we are just fooling ourselves. Stay away from negative sources and people. And think that life is awesome,  the psychological factor always helps.

And last but not the least,  writing makes me happy, I will write even if no one reads 😉

Remember your ABCs to Achieve your Dreams!!

image

Day before yesterday while coming home from college,  I saw a lady selling posters near the station. There were many people surrounding her. It made me curious and even I decided to check out the posters and other stuff she was selling.
I came across a very beautiful poster but a very beautiful message on it

To Achieve your Dreams
Remember your ABCs

Avoid negative sources, people,  things or habits

Believe in yourself

Consider things from every angle

Don’t give up

Enjoy life today; Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.

Family and friends are hidden treasures. Seek them and value them.

Give more than you planned to give.

Hang on to your dreams

Ignore those who try to discourage you.

Just do it

Keep on trying ,no matter how hard it seems. It will get better.

Love yourself first and foremost

Make it happen

Never lie,  cheat , or steal.  Always strike a fair deal.

Open your eyes and see things as they really are.

Practice makes perfect

Quitters never win and winners never quit

Read,  study and learn about everything important in your life

Stop procrastinating

Take control of your own destiny

Understand yourself in order to better understand others

Visualize it

Want it more than anything

Xccelerate your efforts

You are unique amongst all of nature’s creations. Nothing can replace you

Zero in on your target, and go for it!

A 10 rs poster but such a beautiful message . It is rightly said everything is not valued by its price. Will always try to remember these in life. It made my day 🙂

I am alive!! ;)

This is just an update to inform that I am alive,  and totally fine . It’s been a long time I haven’t written anything nor I am updating my friends these days.
My life is college now,  and college is my life nowadays. 😉
In the last 3 weeks,  I was in college for 2 sundays too. I dont even message my friends a lot these days. Some of my school friends have even stopped asking me ” what’s going on ” , as mostly the answer is tests/ presentation. Whenever I get free time I prefer spending with my family. 

Still everyday,  there’s something to cherish, something new to learn,  and few regrets too. And on the positive side,  the bonding between the college friends is becoming strong day by day as we understand each other well 🙂

Hope to post soon and regularly !!!
