Firstly, the idea of working Saturday does not fit in my brain… Secondly, it’s for six long hours… No actually, five and half long hours, thirty minutes lunch break…, Khushi interjects. Well, okay, I edit. Secondly, it’s for like five and half long hours… Lastly, ‘ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY’, I say it with a tinge of annoyance in my voice to my dearest roomie Khushi.

THE TWO ME: OPTIMISTIC ME... PESSIMISTIC ME...

Sometimes I actually feel as if I am being governed by 'Two Me' the Optimistic me and the Pessimistic me and you know actual conversation runs through my head between the two.. Optimistic Me: You can do it.., it's worth taking a risk.. Pessimistic Me: Oh.. no no .., do not risk it, what if it does not turn up the way you have thought it.. Optimistic Me: And what if it does turn up the way I have thought it.. Pessimistic Me: Well.., you actually need a reality check. You need to think practically dude just do not rush into it.. Optimistic Me: It's definitely worth a try.. Pessimistic Me: And what if it will only incur loss.. Optimistic Me: Um, just leave... Yes, our mind does have such conversation isn't it? Okay.., So if 'Pessimistic me' escalates up whenever we are trying to opt for a difficult path then you know what just tell 'Pessimistic me' to buzz off.. Yes we can actually shape our thoughts and shift our gears with it a

TO BE HAPPY...

Why is it always me..? why isn't the fate never in my support..? I give up. yes.., we all would have at least once asked such question to ourselves. So.., analyzing the thoughts and working of mind of people these days it's provident that it's so easy to play the blame game. Yes.., the blame game, it's so easy to curse our fate, to curse all the bad things happening to us, even if it is tiny it is to be blamed.. Now a days what I feel is.., to find good in things happening around us has become a big task.. yes, we all tend to see other people's success and blame the fate for those things not happening to us. Well I guess that's normal human tendency to get allured by other people's success, to may be envy a little.. But again that's just normal right..? then, why to belong to that lot of people that come into normal category. Choose to be unique.., Choose to be the one with huge heart.., Choose to be the who can genuinely feel happy for others

GENERATION GAP...

Daddy: How was your exam dear? Me: Oh daddy, it was very chill.. (me using the word chill just left my dad in the state of ambiguity as on what context am I using that word..😂) Daddy: okay so you people say it as chill.. Me: (laughing).., daddy it was very easy.. So next day again he rings me up to ask about my next exam.. Me: hello.., daddy..!(in a very happy tone..) Daddy: umm.., it seems today too your exam was chill.. Me: haha..dad, yes.. The above slab of conversation that I had with my dad just left me into a reverie that our parents do bring in alteration in their ways to break this wall of generation gap and to ease up the equation we share with them.. Well.., here the question on which I will like to throw a light is that..,"Is it easy for them?" You know what.., It's natural human tendency to resist change.., and so is for our parents.. but still they just do to share a friendly equation with us. Yes.., deep down we all know this.., bu

SMILE...

How can we define Smile? Umm.., a state and expression of being happy… right? Okay.., so before concluding on above definition let’s just ride through different forms of it.. Well.., not necessarily all the smiling faces that we find around us are happy from within… There will be many who will just go around plastering a wide smile on their face no matter what happens.. to us they appear to be happy but we are just unaware of the battle they are fighting from within.. Yes.., I will name this smile as ‘resilient smile." As all this smile does is spread optimism. It teaches us to continue to be happy on the face of adversity. Sometimes we will just go grinning for the way our day has transpired.. it can be anything, may be a good day at college.., or a good at office or you know any special occasion .. yes, it just make us feel happy and in turn brings this wide smile on our face.. Yes.., I will name this smile as ‘Happy Smile..’ Sometimes.., w
