It’s funny how we often catch people saying time waits for no one, get your hands on it before it leaves you behind, you’ll never get a hold of it again, you are going to regret not acting right at the right time.
In all this hassle of keeping up with everything we are told to do, we just don’t realize how important it is to take a break. 

Take a break to keep a check on yourself, to see where you are going,

Is this where you really want to go?

Is this really where you want to be?

The road you’ve chosen, is it truly meant for you?

Is this what you’re ready to commit to, is this what you’ve been looking for? 

Did you ever even decide what you’re truly looking for or you just joined this race of chasing time?

We are all so busy fitting in these predetermined standards set by our environment that we hardly try to understand what we want leading to limitless anxiety, stress, and frustration to calm down which we indulge in practices that may look like an immediate relief but not a permanent solution. 

In our 20 years of education where we are basically taught to understand theories and prove theorems if we could even barely touch this topic of the inner voice and self-concept maybe we will all accept this fact with our heads held high that we don’t necessarily have to fit in!

SEEK PLEASURE IN SIMPLICITY

We as a generation are a set of people who are usually confused, terrified, uncertain, over-optimistic/pessimistic, trying to have it all, commitment-phobic because of lack of worthy examples to look up to, or because our relationships perished sooner than a glass of milk.  I have said it before, and I'll say it again! We do not express gratitude enough. We do not appreciate the little things in life. We are too busy working towards and looking at the bigger picture that we miss out on the comfort and beauty of reality.  The pandemic has taken too much from us already, our loved ones, our normal lives, and our will to socialise. It's high time we start acknowledging the things that we generally do not give enough credence to. It's due time we start smiling at the simple joys, as the big ones aren't happening like they used to.  Appreciate the ones who even make a faint attempt at reaching out to you from their equally busy schedule. Do not hesitate in reaching out to pe...

Jack of Crisis, Masters of Denial

  Sinking in the sea of crisis, human-made, situational or self-induced. We aren't looking for solutions anymore. We aren't wasting time sulking. We are straight-up pushing it all to the deepest, darkest, rarely visited corners of our heads. After all, living in denial still counts for living, contrary to facing the feelings that leave you lifeless. We are eating, drinking, sleeping off or sleeping with the crisis. Pretending to be as unbothered while denying the fact that it burns like a gin and hurts like a bitch. Faking, hoping to make it. Skating through life while the fire within simmers only to erupt when least expected.

Life, Choices and The Opportunity Cost

  I am a planner. I love planning, but, unfortunately, planning doesn't usually love me back. From the earliest of days, I have had this compulsive need to plan the hell out of my life. Planning is my comfort zone. My biggest pet peeve is not knowing what next. Naturally, I hate bizarre concepts like surprises; they are a series of misarranged and chaotic events. Neither do I understand, nor do I appreciate the thrill of uncertainty.  But being a planner, I understand the importance of making choices. I understand that life is choices. At every step of the way, you're presented with at least one. You can be as cautious as possible, as mindful as you want and as aware as you think, but no level of planning, no length of pros and cons list can ensure that the choice you are making is the right one.  I studied this concept called "Opportunity Cost" in school. By the book definition, it goes - "the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Ever...
