Some people will get mad at you for not being who they want you to be.
One of the biggest forms of self-betrayal is living your life by their rules instead of your own.

Your task is simple:
Be kind.
Be real.
Be humble.
Keep growing.
And unapologetically live your best life.
Be you.

Be a walking contradiction.
Be strong and soft.
Be deep and lighthearted.
Be beautiful and intelligent.
Be confident and humble.
Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humor.
Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing.

The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit everything in them.
And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you’re brave enough to be yourself.
There are parts of you that you have yet to discover.
There is greater love that you have yet to find.
There are experiences that are far beyond your imagination.
And it’s all waiting for you.
Life is waiting for you.
So set aside your expectations and go explore it.

We never had the intention of going out and becoming flawed, but that’s what happens in life.
We make mistakes and we learn from them.

Be kinder and gentler with yourself.
Accept your flaws, and be grateful for what you’ve learned from them.

Hate no one, no matter how much they’ve wronged you.
Live humbly, no matter how rich you become.
Think positively, no matter how hard life is.
Give much, even if you’ve been given little.
Forgive all, especially yourself.
And never stop praying & wishing the best for everyone.
There’s no bigger form of wealth compared to GOOD WISHES.

Just because people are being bad to you, doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the same energy to them.
Don’t go through that kind of effort.
The best thing you can do is to completely ignore them and focus on what makes you better.
It’s hard, but know that you deserve only good and positive vibes.
You were not born to embrace and express negativity.
Maybe the people around you might have brought that side out of you, but naturally you’re nothing like those people. You’re way better.

Stopping yourself from doing what’s wrong is not the same as choosing what’s right and doing it.
Don’t stand on the verge of being good.
Be as good as you can be. If you can give, give.
If you can help, help.
If you can make someone’s day by a simple act of kindness, make it.
Set the bar of success for yourself as high as the best that you can be, not as low as avoiding the worst that you can be. Big difference. (Not my words.)

Goodness is a choice.

A lot of people are skeptical about giving a homeless person money.
One thing you can do is buy a homeless person a meal or a bottle of water so at least you know they will get something nutritious to eat or drink.
Last week i saw a homeless man and remembered that I had a protein bar & a pack of biscuits in my backpack.
I went up to him and said, “I don’t want to offend you, but if you’re hungry, I’d love to give this to you.”
He reacted like he had won the lottery.
I couldn’t believe how something so simple could make him so happy.

Go out of your way to help a homeless person, or someone else in need, today.
We lead a busy life without giving enough space to humility & humbleness in our hearts.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself.
It’s thinking of yourself less.

Sunday story time.. 04.

This post/story is about basic human decency. Yesterday i came across a horrible person, who misbehaved a small restaurant owner while paying for some eggy bread, pork pie & tea. He was short of some cash even though he came with entire family in a BMW X5. His argument started escalating over Apple pay, that too in a small & new cash only eatery. Later he went to ATM, withdrew some cash & paid for his food. According to his words; if you aren’t accepting Apple pay, you should go back to country side & he was some corporate employee for BAE systems. The words he used against that restaurant owner made me question his upbringing & it also made me realise what an highly educated asshole looks like. We live in a materialistic world where we literally judge someone looking at their clothes/house/car/phone/financial status, the last comes EDUCATION, QUALIFICATION, PERSONALITY & BEHAVIOUR, that too only if we enjoy a healthy interaction. So, Why these so-called few corporate employees belittle street food truck or small restaurant owners in their head!!

Because i mentioned these words “Materialistic world” & “Corporate Employee”, let’s talk about the money part first. Any engineer/banker/software developer/analyst with 3-5 years of job experience makes easy 95-130k salary per annum, no matter it’s Dollars/Euros/Pounds. Social security+Insurance+Tax, combined all are around 38-42% of entire income in most developed countries. Now monthly in hand salary comes close to 5200-6700 Dollars/Euros/Pounds.

Let’s talk about the small scale business owner who runs a food truck or a street food restaurant, here an easy quick meal costs 7-10 Dollars/Euros/Pounds. It can be a Full English breakfast/Tacos/Pastrami Sandwich/Doner kebab or a salad with tea/coffee/any kind of drink. They receive 80-90 such orders during lunch hour, mostly regular customers during a rush hour. And casually another 80-90 orders at evening because that’s the preferable time to cater tourists/students/kids/young people/couples. Total around 170 orders of 7-10 bucks food product, gross 1500 bucks everyday. Sunday everything is closed. So it comes to 1500×26=39000 worth of sales in a month, not the profit amount. If you deduct the raw ingredients+gas+rent+electricity+3-4 employees salary from that 39000, that small scale business owner is still left with easy 9000-12000 Dollars/Euros/Pounds in his hands every month.

Tried to show you an easy estimation in both scenarios. I am saying it from my experience. I know a half Indian brit who lives in Berlin, he started a ghost kichen sourdough pizzeria in Alexanderplatz in the middle of pandemic. Now it’s a small yet busy full blown cafe. His cafe is open only 4 hours every evening, but he makes way more than my salary. Even in terms of money, a small scale business owner enjoys a better financial stability compared to any employee. The good part is, EVERY BUSINESS OWNER IS HIS OWN BOSS. They work their ass off for their family, so that family can enjoy a life worth calling LIFE. I have studied 4 years bachelor’s in engineering, then MBA, now i am a PhD research scholar (still a student), i also have 4+ years of job experience as a data/research analyst & software developer. I bet that person who started a small mediocre petty drama must have studied something like i did. And most of the time people who work at multinational companies imagine they enjoy the best lifestyle compared to rest, which can be true. But does that allow anyone to be a jackass on streets? We can’t cure certain issues by cursing & shouting. Education is not just there for earning a qualification. If education isn’t making you humble, grateful & a better human, then you are simply a waste of time & energy for society.

(Forgot to schedule this post on Sunday. When i mentioned yesterday above, i am talking about an incident from Saturday. The restaurant owner i mentioned is one of my friends from A-level days.)

True me.. Tap-862..

Find someone who loves you well.
Someone who never belittles you even in the heat of an argument.
Someone who is gentle with you, but does not treat you like you are fragile.
Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you.
Not someone who is intimidated by your strength.
Someone who doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed.
It is not love’s job to punish you.
And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short.
No one is perfect do not hold them to this standard.

Find someone who is patient, consistent, forgiving, and apologetic.
Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often.
Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic.
Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket.
Common courtesy is important.
Compassion is important.
Kindness is important.

Now that i mentioned something about relationships twice in a day, my university friends will again start questioning whether i am seeing someone! Let me answer even before that question pops up. Most of my posts are scheduled a month advance. Typing these two paragraphs today right before the post goes live.

I entertained something inconsistent for a while. Whatever happened, I am not strong enough to blame or hate anyone. Let’s say, that was my fault. I am in the process of becoming single. In Snapchat, if you see my hands resting on some girl’s fine 🍑, high chances it’s either my bestie DEMI or my neighbour girl. Yes, i have a ting towards athletic girls.♌ But I don’t have a TYPE whom i want to date. First i have to be ready, next the connection must vibe positivity & remain consistent, that’s all. The most beautiful part about a girl where my heart goes little weak; when i feel she is grabbing my arms little stronger looking into my eyes with a wide big bright smile, while crossing baby/kid’s clothing section in shopping malls. Everyone knows i adore kids, they are angelic to me. 2023 goal is to become the best A+ dad world has ever seen, and i will settle to be a good B+ boyfriend/husband i guess.😂

Sometimes my white friends want to know to whom i am saying “RAM RAM” over phone instead of starting a conversation with a simple HELLO!!
Today is the right day to answer this.
This has something to do with my values, upbringing, religion, morals, childhood & my grandpa’s bedtime stories because my both parents were working.
I am not a strong believer in religion the way people portray now a days. But i believe in your beliefs.
I believe there’s GOD, a positive divine power guiding us from somewhere.
If you are productive, truthful, consistent with what you do from a clean heart, kind or humble towards other human, all of these acts are filled with godly goodness.
I am born Hindu, and i believe i am a practicing Hindu.
My religion teaches there are multiple forms of GOD, and there are multiple pathways to heaven, so all religions must be treated with equal amounts of respect & acceptance.

Let’s get back to my answer.
Before some thousands of years there used to be a King named “Lord Ram”, incarnation of god significant to Hinduism. Some circumstances forced him to stay away from his family & palace. He lived in forest for 14 years like a normal human leaving his royalty aside. During those 14 years, he fought some demons, saved his wife & kingdom after killing a 10 headed monster named Ravan. Those 10 heads represent lust, anger, delusion, greed, pride, envy, mind, intellect, will and the ego. Ravan is the example how certain negative traits can downsize good qualities & the world remembers him as a MONSTER today. Today is the date “LORD RAM” killed Ravan & “godess DURGA” killed mahishasur, this day symbolises victory of good over evil & we celebrate it as DUSSEHRA.
HAPPY DUSSEHRA TO EVERYONE WHETHER YOU ARE CELEBRATING OR NOT.

After killing Ravan, Lord Ram returned back to rule his kingdom. Under his kingdom, there was no place for any criminal or derogatory behaviour. He established a standard for men to be truthful, faithful, kind, loyal & brave. Till the day he ruled, every human being enjoyed equal amounts of respect & happiness.
So when a Hindu says “RAM RAM”, Ram is the goodness/god inside you/your soul. One Ram is for you & other one for me.
The meaning behind it is;
“WE ARE EXCHANGING EQUAL AMOUNTS OF RESPECT AS HUMANS WITH A HOPE TO SEE A WORLD LIKE LORD RAM’S KINGDOM WHERE EVERYONE IS HAPPY & TREATED EQUALLY”.

You deserve the affection that you kept trying to pour into others.
You deserve the same motivation that you tried to inspire in others.
You deserve the high of happy, without the low of sadness.
You deserve the joy of being spoiled, without the catch of having to repay.
You deserve the relaxation of trust, without the paranoia of betrayal.
You deserve to be confident, without the reminder to be humble.
You deserve to look at your reflection with eyes of awe, not judgment.
You deserve to be held forever, not for a night.
You deserve to be first, second, and third.
You deserve to have everything you want.
You deserve this power.
It is who you are and who you will always be.
BE YOU FOR THE SAKE OF YOURSELF.
VIBE WITH YOUR TRIBE.

There are two types of men in this world.

1: Work 9 to 5. Get married in their late 30s. Make 2-3 kids. Return home tired after work. Expect wife to cook, clean, wash clothes & raise kids. Watch TV at night. Get 5 blowjobs in a month. Wait for weekend to go grocery shopping. Sleep like a 80 year old at 11pm. They get mad at their family or wife to relieve the stress of work. These people pretend being happy their whole life till they retire or till they end up being broke.

2: Who has a fire in them. Who have an eventful life. Who have more stories to tell their next generation. Who build legacies. Who dedicate quality time to family & passion. Work is a priority, because it’s their choice. Who dare to love because they love their life first & there’s no negotiation in writing a beautiful love story which can build memories. Who don’t wait for weekend & who value knowledge. Basically those who LIVE.

I can’t judge 1 or 2. Do what works for you. But the first lesson of life is to LOVE YOURSELF. Nobody is born perfect.
When you love yourself, you glow from the inside.
You attract people who love, respect, and appreciate your energy.
Everything starts with and how you feel about yourself.
Start feeling worthy, valuable and deserving of receiving the best that life has to offer.
PART OF BEING A MAN IS LEARNING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SUCCESSES AND FOR YOUR FAILURES.
YOU CAN’T GO BLAMING OTHERS OR BEING JEALOUS.
FEEING SOMEBODY ELSE’S SUCCESS AS YOUR FAILURE IS A CANCEROUS WAY TO LIVE.
BE HUMBLE, KIND & MAGNETIC. (Not my words).

Date the one who cares with her whole head & heart.
Date her if you can see yourself going for a drive while blasting throwbacks and screaming crazy every word of that track without being judged.
Date her if you can see yourself at 4 in morning talking about life, goals and all of your passions.
Date her if you can have fun with her but still crawl back into her arms when you really want/need to.
Date her if she is humble but makes you feel confident and hypes you up.
Date her if she can make you feel spoiled without any gifts or anything materialistic.
Date her if she opens the door for you before leaving for work and never lets you leave without kissing you goodbye.
Don’t date because she calls you baby/boo or if she says she cares about you but just asks for money & timeouts.
Don’t date her if she talks badly about you to her friends or doesn’t defend you if they talk trash about you.
Don’t date her because things may get better someday. You are living in present, efforts are needed right now.

If the person who’s reading this post is TAP;
Don’t date her if she believes in ketchup, orange juice, vegan diet & naturally aspirated V12.

Being observant is fun, once in a while just enjoy sitting back. Just observing everything around you, crazy pretensious people, the constant postings on social media, the scandals and disrespectful behavior of actors/politicians/government officials, all may split you off because there is more to life. So just take a break, observe everything & keep on reminding yourself that; you must never become something this level of mediocre one day.

We must believe in being a true self, first you be the person you expect to welcome to your life, radiate the energy you want to be around. Learn to be humble and encouraging to all, but don’t put your time and trust if people don’t deserve. I have a simple word for it, KARMA & I do believe in it. So, be observant to not make similar stupid mistakes & create GOOD KARMA.
