Anger issues stops you from growing and glowing

Image
 Anger is not just an emotion; it is a fire that spreads internally and externally, which ultimately burns down everything that you have built, including your relationships and peace of mind. Remember the times when you lost your close friends, close relatives, your girlfriend, your boyfriend or your job ,and the list goes on..... Thats because of this emotion called anger..... great achievers know how to deal with anger especially with the short-tempered ones that make your blood boil and wanna make you hit few people or scream at people, no doubt many people who are at the top like big actors or cricketers usually have a calm tone and they talk very slowly in a steady manner. They do not get triggered easily, that's because of their experience and their ability to control their emotions, especially the most dangerous, or I would rather say impactful emotion.... anger. Let me tell you a small story about Mr Das, he was a short-tempered and angry person but was very sincere towards...

Worrying is a waste of time

Image
 A few years back I started playing cricket again after a bike accident, I gained a lot of weight, my body lost the reflexes that I used to have and on top of that, I felt like shit when I looked in the mirror.... I was always worrying about how I gonna overcome this, what if this happens ??? what if that happens ?? and things like that.... I used to feel awful every day... I started hating everything about my life... but anyways I went to the nets sessions, I used to feel low because even the junior players used to comment on how bad my physique was or my struggling game was, when I went to bat in matches I was sledged a lot by the opponents with words one cant imagine and their reactions really pissed me off ..... then I got really frustrated and decided that I needed to take a break for a week and went window shopping alone to the nearby mall to find some inspiration... to my surprise I saw few books on stoicism which talks about having the ability to endure pain or hardship wit...

"No Matter What You Do, People Will Talk—So Live Your Life!"

Image
  Are We Living for Ourselves or for Others? Have you ever noticed that no matter what you do......wearing your favourite colour shirt or capturing a picture of nature.......someone always has a comment to make?  It happens everywhere at school, college, the gym, and the workplace. And, of course, our relatives and neighbours are often the first to judge. People are naturally judgmental. It’s part of human nature. Because of this, many of us work hard to present ourselves in a way that gains social approval. We buy things not just for personal happiness but to shape the way others perceive us. But is this really necessary? Does loving someone solely for their social status bring real happiness? Is it worth paying EMIs for cars, bikes, or properties just to receive validation from others? Are we truly living the life we want, or are we just trying to fit into an image society has created for us? Instead, we should focus on what genuinely brings us joy. We must love people ...

"The Cost of Haste : Why Rushing Often Backfires"

In this digital era, we are habituated these days to get things fast due to the smartphones in our hands, we want food we swiggy it, we want snacks we zepto it, we want a bag we buy it on Amazon, we want to clean our homes we book via urban clap, we want bus tickets we book on red bus and the list goes on. Thanks to the power of technology we can get these things or services within a few minutes, but that doesn't mean that the nature of human beings has changed or is it???? We human beings need to build ourselves step by step right from our knowledge, skills, career, body and of course our relationships, this reminds us all that    “Rome wasn't built in a day”.  We are part of nature and nature has something called a process and it can't be rushed how hard you try,  Let us look at this through a  kutty story...... Mr.DAS was a sincere man who was consistent with his work, he used to wake up early in the morning do his meditation, brush his teeth, read t...

From Likes to Life: Rediscovering Myself During a Social Media Break

Image
  A few months ago, I went out with my friends for lunch at a beautiful seaside restaurant along the East Coast Road. The view was stunning—people playing on the beach, fishermen guiding their boats, friends laughing as they braved the waves, couples deep in conversation, children flying kites, and athletes practicing surfing against the rhythmic crash of the tides. It was one of those moments that felt picture-perfect.   As I soaked it all in, I realized my phone battery had died. At first, I thought it might be inconvenient, but soon, I discovered something refreshing: I was completely immersed in the moment, undistracted. There were no notifications dragging me out of the conversations with my friends, no impulses to capture the view for Instagram stories, no dopamine hits from new messages or social media updates. Just pure, unfiltered presence. It was calm, pleasant, and deeply soul-satisfying.   But then, reality hit. As soon as I got home, I plugged in my pho...
