Living our destiny or directing our own destiny?!

Living our destiny or directing our own destiny?!

So here I am back in Lucknow my hometown ..and once again I am back to the struggles which the city gets for any dental surgeon, and then of course the little struggles of starting everything fresh again ! It has been more than ten days today since I came here and all that I have been doing for all this while is living in the past, and living in what cant be ! An imaginary world ! which is there with me all the time ! Its nothing but living in what if .. what if I didn’t resign my job, what if I was adamant in not getting married, what if I was settled somewhere else ! I don’t know how of many other people think like that ! So what am I basically deriving out of it .. nothing at all.. and what am I loosing by it .. i guess I am losing everything in the present !

Time and again we read way too many quotes and articles on “LIVING IN THE PRESENT” but then why is it that it is still the least that we do ! One reason which I could figure out was that most of the times we keep blaming our destiny for everything, so much so that we do not realize that in the while that we are actually blaming our destiny we are creating something else for ourselves ! Like in the while that I go in the past and think, I guess this wasn’t destined for me, I end up losing what is destined for me in the present as well ! Easy to preach and difficult to follow at the end I believe may be there is a part of destiny that is fixed and there is a part of it that we direct ourselves but everything depends on how well we accept a situation as it comes to us ..Realizing what is fixed and cannot be changed and doing the best towards what is there in our hands truly defines what we end up calling our destiny!

Ranveer Allahbadia is just the tip of the iceberg! #digitalworld

In a recent incident, popular podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread criticism for making an inappropriate remark that was deemed unacceptable by many. Thank God for that, or else we are now a society where everything under the sun is rather normalised. I wouldn’t repeat the remark here, I can’t, it's out of my scope to write anything like that. Anyway, after that so-called remark on a show run by a popular comedian, Samay Raina was aired and shared, the internet was set on fire. I casually opened my Twitter on Sunday and was taken aback by the clip which was being circulated. It looked something like this: Some people, popular in the world of the internet sitting on a panel and roasting a contestant that stood in front of them. A highly vulgar remark was made by Ranveer, and the rest of the panel members along with the audience joined in laughter and applause. ‘Ah! Isn’t all this becoming rather common nowadays!’ was my first reaction, following which ...

A drive into the Himalayas

Well, the last week of December is as festive as it can get for anybody and everybody. It’s a week that calls for some year-end celebrations, get together’s and travel. I wanted to plan something for that week since eternity but my usual attitude to push every work till the last moment, made me plan absolutely nothing till almost the 20 th of December! It was on the 20 th that it struck me that we needed to book tickets to travel, and of course, we needed to book a hotel to stay. Various places within the country, including popular destinations like Goa, were packed and out of budget for us. There were two options that we were left with; 1) stay back home and crib 2) explore something that we never explored before. After a series of discussions, we came to a common conclusion to travel to Pokhara city in Nepal. I tried searching a lot to get some details about the roads, the recommended route etc but couldn’t get any detailed post and thus I was certain to post a blog on it. ...

Do you realize what you have or should I take it away from you first !!

After a long tug of war that was going on in my head for I guess months together, I finally submitted my resignation from my current organization. And to my surprise the moment I received a date for my relieving everything around me somewhat changed. The entire experience of my moving to a strange city all by myself, and exploring things people and possibilities hovered over me. All my experiences, happy moments and good gestures by people I met on the way made me a little emotional every day. And at my workplace as well, everyone was much more expressive, and admiring for both my work and my attitude, in short, people became a little more expressive and I became a little more receptive. If both I and my colleagues would have been the same ways while I was regular wouldn’t we have made it much more memorable! I think for some reason we all are a little hesitant to look at the good side of anything, until of course we know we wont have it anymore. Or in other words it wouldn’t be w...
