Don’t Preach, Reach

Life is beautiful for some and not so beautiful for others. Everyone has a different view of it. Those who see beauty in life are the ones who cherish each moment of it despite of its oddities. While some may not be able to see beyond the negativity of it and hence, unable to see its beauty.

In life you may fall in any of the two above categories or you may shift yourself from one to another over a period of time. At times we fight hard to keep the positives alive, while at times the circumstances overpower us and cloud our thinking.

The best part of human life is; that we are capable of sharing our feelings and emotions with others. We have people around us to share our sorrows and double our happiness. 
But, at times we fall prey to self-loathing and inferiority complex. We may avoid sharing our feelings with the fear of being mocked or judged upon. We may consider ourselves as a misfit to our society or feel as a failure. 
These feelings lead to many consequences some emotional, some physical and some life threatening. So, what to do when stuck in this situation….REACH….stretch your hand and ask for help…..you may be surprised to see the number of hands reaching out to help.

While it is easy to advice, it is very difficult for a person who is deep drowned in negativity to call for help…so what shall the others around them do….REACH……take out time in your life to know about the well-being of people you care. Talk to them, look out for any negativity, look out for signs of negativity and above all DON’T PREACH……because advice is not the best medicine always. Give your love, your time and you ear….to help them out.

In today’s modern era, when we have so many means to stay connected, people have become more disconnected. Cases of suicide, depression, anxiety, self-loathing have increased significantly over the period of time. So, stop for a while and look around…you may find someone close to you shouting for help.

Friends at times the hardships of life can break a person badly. It may damage them without their knowledge. So, just REACH out to them, make them believe in the beauty of life because sometimes lending someone a fresh view can instill the life back into them.

Remember….A view from mountain top is beautiful; but it is better if you help someone to see it with you.

“Happy Birthday my dear friend, you have aged beautifully. Wishing you many more glorious years.” “Thank you for your wonderful wishes, but aren’t you a bit late today? I mean the whole world has wished me in morning.” “Yes, sorry for the delay, this year your birthday has brought more sleep hours; you see.” “ Yes, indeed.” “So, 68 it is. Tell me about your experience of the period of time” “ Hmm; so it has been a difficult journey…for being conceived for 2years, 11 months and 18 days my birth was a difficult task. I am happy that a veteran like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was given vested with it. I was happy to be in the form I was born; my documents were beautifully handwritten in calligraphy.” “Wow; that is amazing. You truly are special.” “Indeed, I am. My features were inspired by kids of other nations; to give me an in-depth character and wholesomeness.” “Really, that is unique. You have seen so many generations; so many people and so many changes, share some insig

Art of living So, I started with my blogging again. Every day I planned to write something beautiful, something extraordinary, something that stood out; so as to tell the world “ I am BACK ”. But, suddenly life took a 360 °  turn and all my plans went down the drain with the new Virus in town. Suddenly, the talk changed from future plans to survival at the time of the pandemic. Quarantine became the new norm, while plans of travel turned to name random names to the rooms of our house. During this sudden shift life became the most valued assets, long lost friends became a daily call and time became a commodity freely available without any restrictions or speed. So, life is on a halt now and so are my plans for a celebratory blog. Hence, I decided to simply pour my heart out on this one. This quarantine period has definitely taught me ways and means to live my life and not to merely exist. Over the past I have learned:      Life is full of surprises :     As

Bring your own Blessings (BYOB) Let us begin day two of the challenge with the letter ‘B’. I have been thinking a lot about the topic for this one and after many cancellations finalized the above. Now we are mostly aware of BYOB an urbanized version of going Dutch or rather getting your own drinks to the party. This is basically a system of sharing expenses and also giving the sense of being a part of the party. Okay, just kidding it is none of the aforementioned and is the basic way of partying when everyone is practically broke. So, moving on from parties and hangouts. Oh, the nostalgia ! Just like we can share the burden so that we can enjoy a party of a hangout, we can share the burden of sadness and negativity by simply bringing our blessings with us. Blessings are a beacon of hope in the vast ocean of negativity. They are prayers of a better future, a way to assure someone that ‘this too shall pass’ Now, the question is how we can bring our own bl
