Understand this:
You can sound confident and have anxiety.
You can look healthy but feel like shit.
You can look happy and be miserable inside.
You can be good looking and feel ugly.
So be kind.
BE KIND because every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce.
You look for reasons it is not doing well.
It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun.
You never blame the lettuce.

Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person.
But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.
Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.
That is my experience.

No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.
If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

I am slowly learning how to just be in this moment.
How to survive.
How to exist.
How to live.
How to thrive.
How to understand that I cannot control life.
How to understand that I can only experience life in both it’s light and it’s dark stages.
I am slowly learning how to laugh and cry and feel through it all.
I am learning how to welcome the confusion and the joy that come with loving and living and breaking.

I am slowly learning how to accept where I am.
I am slowly learning how to simply believe in what I am becoming.
I am becoming a better version of myself, and that journey is just AMAZING.

Sometimes it’s better to just let things be.
Let people go.
Don’t fight for closure.
Don’t ask for explanations.
Don’t chase answers.
Don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

You got to keep fighting for you because no one got you like you got yourself.

I think the biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand.
We listen to reply or retaliate, that’s the starting point of downfall in every beautiful equation.

LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND.

True me.. Tap-1183..

You’ve got to ask yourself what you’re living for, who you’re living for, and if none of those answers begin with you then you’re living your life wrong.
You’re living a lie.
Everything you do should revolve around you.
Every person, every place, ever moment should start and end with you.

This is your life and you shouldn’t spend it on dull things, in people who don’t understand the type of love you carry within your bones.
Because you only live once and it’s your job to make it count.
So let every day be yours, own it and never apologize for being who you are.

Constantly analyze yourself.
Figure out why certain things upset you.
Question your own motives.
Understand your behavior.
This creates a pathway for change.

Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF FIRST.
BE REAL & BE A HAPPENING AUTHENTIC VERSION OF YOURSELF.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. West blames Russia on invading a democratic European nation. Russia sites own reasons that may or may not seem reasonable to most people.

Life doesn’t always go in a straight line.
Things get messy and tangled.
And our paths twist and turn in many directions.
The right things happen at the wrong time and opportunities get passed by.
Some things happen that we just cannot understand in the moment no matter how badly we want an answer.
And some things that we wish would happen just never do.

Life can be a little messy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be wonderful.
Because even in the messiness, even in the mistakes and missed chances, even in the midst of not knowing what to do or where to turn, there are still so many beautiful moments.
There is still love and joy and light.
There is still laughter and kindness.
So maybe life is messy.
But maybe, it doesn’t need to be anything else.
Maybe it’s in all of the messiness that we can see all of the things that matter most of all.

When I was fighting depression, I remember hearing this expression and not understanding it at first.
When I decided to implement it in my life, a whole new world opened up for me.
Change the negative, self-loathing thoughts to positive, self-affirming ones.
When you’re positive about yourself and everything around you, you begin to see the world in a different light.

KNOWING THESE 7 FACTS WILL MAKE YOU INFINITELY HAPPIER:

1. Wake up every morning, say, ‘this is going to be the best day of my life’, and it will be.
2. The moment you realize you are responsible for every aspect of your life is when you are completely free.
3. You don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy.
You just have to understand yourself.

Savor the moments we enjoy and know that those we don’t will pass.
6. The self is always changing.
What matters is how we create the self we wish to be every moment.

NINE SENTENCES TO REMIND YOURSELF EVERYDAY:

• Hard times, pain & lessons; one day they’ll be your strength, your awareness & your blessings.

• Stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves.

• You’ll never look good trying to make someone look bad.

• Save your explanations for those that are determined to understand you.

• Give your silence to those that are determined to misunderstand you.

• Most people react with retaliation while responding, few listen & very few people understand your words to reply with decency.

• Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom.

• Don’t be upset from people you don’t respect.

• Life is not tiring. Wanting life to be a certain way but not having the confidence to make it that way, that’s tiring.

If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a place to sleep,
you’re richer than 75% of the entire world.

If you have money in your wallet, a little change, and can go anywhere you want,

If you are alive today with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week and die.

If you can actually ‘READ’ this message and understand it,

4 Habits to make you MENTALLY STRONG:

1: Delay gratification.

The ability to delay gratification can be a big predictor of success.
Mentally strong people have the ability to prioritize the long-term over short-term pleasures.

2: Show up on the toughest days.

Often it’s the days when we don’t feel like showing up that end up being the most important ones.
Proving to yourself that you can show up on tough days builds your resilience and mental strength.

3: Positive Self-Talk.

One of the fastest ways to tear down your mental toughness is by speaking negatively to yourself.
Mentally strong people understand the importance of being your own biggest supporter.

4: Don’t dwell on things.

Allowing a problem or situation to dominate your mind, is another quick way to lose resilience.
Mentally strong people focus on what is within their control, and take action on it as soon as possible.

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.

We humans do not understand compassion.

8 Rules for a HAPPY HAPPENING LIFE:

1. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
2. What others think of you is none of your business.
3. Time heals almost everything, give it time.
4. Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
5. Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know the answers. Answers will come to you when you least expect it.
6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
7. Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world.
8. Understand the difference between WANT & NEED. Follow what you feel.

Relationships between family, friends, significant others, and colleagues are complicated and full of learning experiences.
Nobody comes into this world knowing everything.
We all go through different experiences, make mistakes, have successes, and then make more mistakes that we can learn from.
The ability to trust and listen to the people in your life is the foundation all healthy relationships are built on.

While talking to friends, make sure you are really listening to what they have to say and aren’t distracted by something else.
You owe that to them and you would want the same in return.
Trust is a bond between two people that is found only when they are able to listen and understand where the other person is coming from.
That to me is the only key to friendships and relationships.

Sunday story time.. 05.

My grandpa died before 4 years at the age of 97+. He lost memory during his last few days. But whenever he was able to recollect his thoughts & was able to understand what’s going on, he used to talk about his involvement in Mahatma Gandhi’s khadi movement during India’s freedom struggle. Khadi means hand woven cotton fabric.
He used to preach few things till the day he was alive;

1. Saying/wishing/greeting RAM RAM is not a religious thing, even though LORD RAM is the highest celebrated deity in Hindu religion. It’s about seeing divine in other human life & exchanging equal amounts of respect for that reason.

2. The biggest sinners in this world go to church/temple/mosque very often. Because they have to keep reminding god to wash their sins.

3. 10% of your wealth/income must go towards DANA (in Sanskrit it means DONATION), donation towards helping underprivileged & upliftment of society.

Not a secret, i own a small health supplement business since September-2017. And now that business enjoys a loyal customer base because of good quality products & quick customer query resolution. With those fitness enthusiasts in mind, i started an athleisure clothing brand in August-2019.

Like every other human, i am not perfect & my business is also not perfect all the time. Especially the atheleisure clothing brand i am talking about, not talking about profit or loss. My operation is small and we never made a loss. I am talking about clothes not being perfect sometimes. While manufacturing/stitching/printing, in few cases there’s a misplaced logo or a packaging label mishap, a stitching at wrong part of the clothing material or short hoodie strings, so we reject few clothes while passing it through quality testing. But even those quality reject clothes are completely usable, sometimes even i use them as my layer-1 clothes during winter. Like previous year, this year too we will go to a nearby orphanage & a refugee shelter to donate some winter clothes/blanket/woolen socks. There’s an amazing feeling of fulfillment while giving it back. I am forever grateful to almighty for giving me little more than i can consume.

(In case anyone wants to join, i have updated the address in our CMU university group. Please don’t try to overcrowd the place, 12-13 people are enough. It bums my mood to see people roaming around without mask, so please wear a mask while coming.)

People never understand “what you want to do” is always connected to “what you need to do”.

Suppose i want to be an engineer, i need to study engineering.
Suppose i want to a writer/musician/athlete, i need to learn & practice writing/music/sports.
Suppose i want to get fit, i need to workout.

What you want to do doesn’t make any sense till you aren’t following what you need to do first.

Eleven meaningful truths/lessons on life:

1. Average human life is relatively short.
2. You will only ever live the life you create for yourself.
3. Being busy doesn’t mean being productive.
4. Some kind of failure always occurs before success. And both success & failure can be equally amazing.
5. Actions without intentions are like walking without using legs, doesn’t make sense.
6. You don’t have to wait for an apology to forgive other people. There’s a tendency of CHEAP, it keeps getting CHEAPER with time.
7. Some people are simply the wrong match for you. Keep checking who’s coming for good time & who’s coming with good energy!!
8. It’s not other people’s job to LOVE you; it’s yours.
9. What you own is not who YOU are, it’s about how you purpose what you have.
10. Everything changes for the better.
11. Forever takes forever to build & behold. (Not my words).

Never regret being a good person to the wrong people.
Your behavior says everything about you,
and their behavior says enough about them.

Some people love you.
Some people love to be around you.
Some love what you can do for them.
Understand the difference.

Learn the difference between connection and attachment.
One brings consistency, the other is fakefuckery.
One gives you power, the other sucks the life out of you.

We already know that no one is perfect.
But knowing that doesn’t keep us from doing things we might feel badly about later.
Your mistakes & understanding to own them makes you unique.
But when the same mistake is repeated often; that’s a sign of inconsistency in your character, which can later birth numerous bad habits & a peculiar tendency to become a systematic liar.
Start from owning your mistakes one by one.
I’ve found in times like that it’s best to come clean and own your mistake.
People will be so much more forgiving and sympathetic when you are honest about it because they can relate.
Even better, you will inspire them to do the same thing by showing them how honest and beautiful you can be without being perfect.

Stay strong.
Tell on yourself today about something you feel badly about having done or said in the past.
We should regret our mistakes and learn from them,
but never carry them forward into the future with us.

You have to chase the things that ignite you.
You have to do the things that bring you joy.
You have to surround yourself with the people who bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted and celebrated and loved.
You have do the work to heal yourself,
even when it hurts especially when it hurts,
so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you.
You have to put yourself out there,
and you cannot worry about what other people think,
you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because you are scared of how you will be perceived.
You have to be unapologetic in the way that you exist here.
You have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space.
You have to believe that you have purpose.

Because our existence is finite.
And as hard as that is to understand,
as hard as that can be to connect with,
from time to time remind yourself that in the most human way we are all living on borrowed time.
We live as if we are promised the experiences and the potential we are chasing,
we live as if we have control over what happens to us.
But we don’t, and that is liberating,
because it is pressing there is urgency within the lesson.
It is meant to wake you up.
Life is meant to be lived. (Not my words).

Mama once said;
“We don’t just entertain friends/relationships outta fun, we build them over time, we respect them & we keep them. That’s why never accept or serve discounted garbage”.

I was in my teen days.
I was still getting pocket money from parents.
I wasn’t able to understand those heavy/right words.
I thought my mum was talking about not buying discounted clothes/stuffs or wasting money with friends during weekend trips.
Most of my friends know i hate discounted clothes now too.
In fact, i don’t have a single piece of clothing from any fast fashion brands.

Coming closer to my 30, now i am understanding that she told me not to hangout with people who have discounted/cheap personality/approach/attitude/mindset, It took me almost 14 years to figure out the real meaning behind those wise words.
Being a MAN means progression of understanding, knowledge, acceptance & virtue while developing better habits.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch it to understand how your shopping habits are shaping a climate & humanitarian disaster. There’s a reason I never buy clothes from H&M, Zara, TK Maxx or any store/brand with 50% discount board. I buy clothes which cost at least a hundred quid or more, and i wear them for ages. They stay with me because, I know I have spent enough money to buy them. And i fully remember how much I paid, I have a photographic memory. Fun part is, I still have t-shirts, jackets, hoodies & sneakers from my 8th grade & engineering college days which fit perfectly even today. FYI, I am a sneakerhead & my love for watches is something divine.)

Each of us leads unique lives with experiences that nobody else will ever completely understand.
Your story holds so many valuable lessons that can help inspire, teach, and motivate someone else.
Should you choose to share it!?!
In life, I have heard so many different stories.
Just by listening, I learned so many different things.
I’m so thankful I found the courage to share my story as well and talk about what I’ve been through.
Not only has it helped me, but it has helped give perspective and strength to so many other people, my people to be precise.
I encourage you to do the same.

Share your story with someone who is worth your time.

TRUST is a bond between two people that is found only when they are able to listen and understand where the other person is coming from.
That to me is the key to friendships and relationships.

Relationships between family, friends, significant others, and colleagues are complicated and full of learning experiences.
Nobody comes into this world knowing everything.
We all go through different experiences, make mistakes, have successes, and then make more mistakes that we can learn from.
We all take our own sweet time to trust, evaluate, make a move, prepare and proceed.

When talking to friends or anyone who’s a part of your life, make sure you are really listening to what they have to say and aren’t distracted by something else.
Most people just listen to respond, reply, retaliate or react, which is complete nonsense.
Listen to understand, COMMUNICATION is the first step to TRUST.
You owe that to them and you would want the same in return.
The ability to trust and listen to the people in your life is the foundation all healthy relationships are built on.

In our lives we experience many different kinds of friendships.
On the rare occasion we encounter someone so special that we just know we met for a reason.
These are the kinds of friendships that last forever no matter what city you live in or how often you speak,
no matter how old you get or what phase of life you are in.
It’s the type friendship that has no judgement and sticks by you even when you fuck up.
It’s the kind of friendship that makes you understand unconditional love.
Maybe you met your most special friend when you were 4, or 14, or 35… or maybe you are yet to cross paths.
It happens at different stages for different people.
But when it does, there is no greater comfort than knowing that this person will be right there beside you to share the happiness, the sadness and everything in-between.
Never, ever take these friendships for granted.

This paragraph is for my close friends. Yes i have a secret Instagram account since a month, it’s more like my travel timeline diary. Hardly 8-9 close friends know about it. Ask each other, let’s see who spills the bean first. I post few pics when i go to a new place, flight window seat view, some islands, coffee, the best pizza in town, my sneakers, it’s a raw me with privacy in focus. I hardly have 20 followers & i get 20-30 likes in each post. Recent 30 posts have likes or comments from 1 or 2 blue tick verified accounts.
NOW THE TASK;
My only rule to achieve something is; I allow myself 2 years to get it done or I just leave it like it didn’t exist. I was planning something big in 2019 for 3-4 months. Corona happened, i had to take a pause. I am already 3-4 months short of those 2 years. Go to that secret Instagram account, figure out what’s that i was working in 2019? Those blue tick accounts have a pattern. Once you have an idea about the answer, text me the title of it. The first person who gets it right, your expenses for our weekend trip & next vacation is on me.

Sometimes it’s better to just let things be,
let people go,
don’t fight for closure,
don’t ask for explanations,
don’t chase answers,
and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

And also sometimes it’s the little things.
It’s the shoulder/forehead kisses and cooked breakfasts and the “drive safe” texts or a long mail/letter on your birthday/anniversary/celebration milestones.
It’s those things that for some reason make you feel more loved than you ever have before.
It’s easy to plan elaborate nights out, meetings or small weekend trips, when someone can make you feel so happy just by doing the smallest things.
That’s when you know you’ve got something special in someone special.
It’s never about finding the right one.

You’re going to realize it one day that “HAPPINESS” was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship.
Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you.
It was never about being like the others.
One day, you’re going to see it that HAPPINESS was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go.
Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself.
It was always about embracing the person you were becoming while being consistent about your approach towards yourself & others.
One day, you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people.
It was always about you. It was always inside you.

You’ve got to ask yourself,
what you’re living for,
who you’re living for,
and if none of those answers begin with “YOU”,

You’re living a lie.

Everything you do should revolve around you.
Every person,
every place,
every moment,
should start and end with you.

This is your LIFE and you shouldn’t spend it on dull things or boring people.
Don’t spend it in people who don’t understand the type of love you carry within your bones.

So let everyday be yours, own it.
Never apologize for being who you are.

Suddenly social media has created so many experts who brag about their success stories.
Most of these only talk about their success.
Half of these dumbfucks have little to nothing success in their field, rest half are just scammers.

Genuine people who made it big will never sell their recipe to success.
Because it’s personal.
My journey with my relationships, friendships, religion, finance & career, all are personal to me.
I may give tips to my son one day, but why will i tell some random person to follow my steps & make it happen, if i already made it so far walking on my own!!?
Nobody helped me become what i wanted to be.
The journey wasn’t smooth sailing.
And i also know nobody will put similar effort to be where i am.

Ask Elon Musk how he got into Tesla without founding it & how it’s the world’s highest valued automobile manufacturing company in stock market while making only 0.13% of cars in this world!!?
Will he ever tell you in a while how that happened?
It’s consistent rigorous efforts of time & discipline, that’s paying off right now.

Stop selling success stories.
Now we live in a world where people first need to know what they shouldn’t do.

7 FACTS TO MAKE YOU HAPPIER IN LIFE:

1. Wake up every morning, say, “this is going to be the best day of my life,’ and it will be.

2. The moment you realize you are responsible for every aspect of your life is when you are completely free.

3. You don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy. You just have to understand yourself.

4. To love yourself, simply be yourself.

5. Life is in constant flux. Savor the moments we enjoy and know that those we don’t will pass.

6. The self is always changing. What matters is how we create the self we wish to be every moment.

Grandpa once said “If you are confident about your views or values, never expect others to certify it”. I was still in my teen days when he said it. He died at the age of 97 before 3 years. I am somehow understanding his words how & why. I talk a lot about building confidence to develop a stronger self-esteem, which can later help in growing self-respect further. Let me explain all in few words;

1- Confident people don’t force their views on others. They don’t force their beliefs on anyone else whether those beliefs are political or religious. They have a clear understanding that these beliefs in choices are personal for everyone. They may stand up for themselves when others oppose, but will never challenge what other people think nor feel the need to tell them that they are wrong.

2- Never compromise your values. Having defined core values is foundational principles to any pursuit in life. Confident people live in alignment with their values and will never compromise themselves what they hold dear. They use these values as they make decisions in both life and work. Even if it means giving up something desirable in the short term. When it comes to confidence one thing is certain, truly confident people always have the upper hand over the doubtful and the skittish. Because they inspire others and they make things happen. Embracing the behaviors of confident people is a great way to increase your odds for success which in turn will lead to more confidence. (Not my words)

Toxic people are not new to life. World is filled with narcissists & liars that we can’t sideline. But that situation becomes often if you don’t set limits & establish boundaries. I would rather say, you must do both for every equation in your life. Let me explain why/how;

Set limits: Complainers and negative people are bad news. They wallow in their problems and they want others to join in so that they can feel better about themselves. People often feel pressure to listen to complainers because they don’t want to be seen as insensitive or rude, but there’s a fine line between lending a sympathetic ear and getting sucked into their negative emotional spiral. You can avoid this by setting limits and distancing yourself when necessary. Just think of it this way; if the complainer were smoking, would you sit there all day inhaling the second-hand smoke? Probably not, you will distance yourself and you should do the same with every person who’s toxic.

Establish boundaries: This is the area where most people tend to sell themselves short, they feel that because they work or live with someone they have no way to control the chaos. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Once you’ve found your way to rise above a person, you’ll begin to find their behavior more predictable and easier to understand. This will equip you to think rationally about when and where you have to put up with them and when you don’t. If you let things happen naturally, you are bound to find yourself constantly broiled in difficult conversations. But if you set boundaries and decide when and where you’ll engage a person, you can control much of the chaos.

Two things in life are really really important, “MEAN WHAT YOU SAY & SAY WHAT YOU MEAN”. Apart from these two, yes there is a fun humour element to life which completely depends on your personality. If you connect to what i am talking about, of course you know most people fuck it at the end somehow.

We all try to hide truth, feelings, certain incidents & tales of own faux pas. Back to those first two important things in life, very few understand it & follow it.

Valentines DAY.. How to!! FOR MY BROS..

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Whether you wanna woo your boo, asking someone new out on a date or you are in a mood to get laid; take these tiny tips from your bro. A few lines of man-to-man talk.

1. Remove all deodorants from your closet today. Get a cologne/perfume, a good one looking at your budget (The best one I can suggest as it’s my all season good to go: DAVIDOFF COOL WATER). Before you meet her, a mild spray near back of your neck & earlobes. Don’t ask why!! Your girl deserves a well groomed person who values styling & smelling nice.

2. 4 days left for your date night, I mean 14th February night. Right after you wake up every single day from now, grind a big piece of ginger, add some warm water to it & drink it without thinking taste. Ginger is a natural thermogenic antioxidant & it helps to correct the amount of blood flow to overall body parts including your downstairs department. Now you know why.

3. Clean your bush & make sure to apply some extra virgin olive oil to stay away from unnecessary body odours. Get some nice boxer shorts as well.

4. Understand the importance of keeping it classy yet low-key while dressing up for special occasions. Wear a sleek wristwatch, dial not bigger than 42mm. Just for one day, ditch your sports shoes or Balenciaga Triple-S kinda moonwalkers.

This is a screenshot from my Instagram stories. I usually do this social service every year to some stupid friends.

Last tip: Own who you are for real. When you are talking to your partner or future-partner, make sure you lie/hide nothing. Be blunt about what you want from yourself & from the other side as well. A truthful person is hard to resist & people take no time to get intimidated. Tap OUT..💪👍
