Self story 2024

The death is REAL!

2024 marked the departure of many known souls from this world, reminding me of the fragility of life. Their untimely departure has put the core of my being in freeze. Each untimely loss has cast a shadow over my spirit, leaving me in a state of reflection and introspection.

In such times, I pacified myself with the dialogue from “Anand” Movie “Babumoshai, zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi”. Embracing the moments that matter can genuinely make all the difference.

This is the motto I am embracing as I move into another year. This reality check has disconnected my scorpion soul on some deeper level from this world. It seems I have developed a sensitivity and respect for the people in my life at a deeper level. The “plastic” aspects of career, fame, profit, and happiness have revealed their true meaning to me.

No, it is not that I have attained nirvana! It is simply the heart speaking, and the mind has finally embraced these heartfelt truths that it once struggled to accept.

Here I am listing ten innermost thoughts that I frequently observe, especially during happy and sad times.

1. Live in the present but keep a bird's eye view of any situation.

2. Silence is golden

3. Take a moment to pause in life.

4. People constantly preach to improve. But we must be conscious of what to follow and what to ignore so to preserve our originality

5. Pressuring others is not the key to building relationships. Let there be enough air to breathe in any relationship.

6. Forgiveness is challenging, but it is essential for self-growth

7. Find peace within ourselves

8. And most importantly, we must accept ourselves.

9. Be genuine in life. Show respect to others. Stay humble. Embrace normalcy. Keep things simple.

10. It is most important to be alive. Don’t mimic or copy others, and have enough strength to give yourself tough love.
