When nothing works…



Plans that we had conceived are swayed away !

Many a times they fructify while at other times surprisingly different outcomes are encountered. We do not know who caused them and how they were created. Some major shakeups just come from nowhere like a typhoon which leave behind stillness and nothing is same any more !

Some new order is seen, a new arrangement of the constituents of life!

We try hard to find some things or hold on to others, yet we never find them or are able to preserve them.

Maybe we are born with some entitlements decided by we don’t know who. May be god, may be that is destiny !

Does this give a grim picture of life, making us humans a pawn in the hands of some unknown power?

It gives me more power though to think that I don’t control everything and that some things are beyond me.

With this thought I can blame myself less for my failures which makes it easier to move on and start all over again.

Being inactive and leaving things to DESTINY is no alternative !

We get something only when we have sown the seeds at some point in time, knowingly or unknowingly.

The cause-and-effect relationship works most of the times !

Life is a series of trial-and-error acts put together. Some work, some do not. More we try, higher the probability of finding the desired outcome.

Success does not always come with meritocracy and by being the best but it is also about being at the right place at the right time.

This is called opportunity.

Sometimes it is not important how much we know, but who we know !

More we expand our knowledge and awareness, more we work towards new and unknown, more the number of trials, higher the chances of encountering those much-awaited opportunities.

It is just about sowing the seeds. Higher the numbers sown, greater the probability of them germinating.

If we still don’t find what we want, then what?

Time to shift the gear ?

Could be we are entitled to something different and better.

But do we have the courage to change the direction and confront the unknown and begin the journey all over again?

Possibilities exist, finding them is the key.

Finding WHO you are meant to be and not WHAT you are meant to be...

This is the code to decipher !

Can't shy away from KARMA !

I die to live !

  I saw his photo on the social media  among the dead, the cruel pandemic had snatched him away from us for ever. His life had just begun, he was supposed to live for many more years. After all, hardly anyone dies at that age. He was just perfect, a beautiful family, good job, superior intellect  loads of creative work done .   I try to control my life's events and plan for future to make it safe and live able. Yet, I lose control when un planned situations arrive un-invited. This is the hide and seek of life. For some life is picture perfect whereas for others nothing works. We are in search of answers to such questions constantly wondering what is the mechanism of life, can we create a rule book and just follow it? Life would be simpler, but life continues to be an enigma. It is interesting that I did not choose to be born but once my journey began, this life which was not my choice became so much just mine that I am dying to live. Everyday life tests me, I go through pain and

Why hermits are happy ?

Why are hermits happy ? They don't wear trendy footwear, expensive watches or drive big cars. They do not have the privilege of social bonds , affection from family and friends. While I am writing, I am wondering what is the basis of my question ! Why should they not be happy? Who determined  what must make us happy or unhappy ? Social construct , is it?  It is  formed over centuries which leads us to believe what we believe in . It exists because humans acknowledge its existence whereas it may not  exist if  seen objectively. If one is unhappy, it is  because S/he got things contrary to this construct. Tough is to break free from it and create a new one. To break free means to rebuild the frame that we live in, the frame which defines love, hatred, desirable, undesirable, success, failure and so on. Freeing up the mind from pre existing and filling it up with new definitions, This is creativity ! Can we  just flip this construct ? and see the magic unfold.

Final destination

On my birthday, I take a moment and look back and I see a girl  who used to be  quite aspirational and ambitious, who tried to plan everything in advance , all her anticipated successes and joys, based on her limited knowledge about happiness and success. She went about achieving her planned success with great energy, worked hard and displayed exemplary will power. She made choices which she thought led her towards her planned goal of happiness in personal and professional life. She was indeed quite picky about her choices and she felt totally in charge of her life. Fifty years hence, I seem to have reached some unknown destination.  It seems no planning worked. So many surprises in life, never ever imagined situations swipe away the current state like a storm takes away with it everything that is there on the sea shore. Alas, I can’t go back in time and change my choices. Fear cripples us. The fear of where will my livelihood come from? Will I have food, home, health, money in the
