I have been extremely fond of pets. My first ever pet was two baby rabbits that my parents surprised me with. As a child of 5, I was evidently terrified of a tiny creature. A pet changes one’s daily routine moreover one’s life. It turned out to be a blessing. I loved coming back home from school to these tiny, adorable faces. It all took a drastic turn when I developed a respiratory infection which is when I had to give them up. My heart sank and the thought of not having them around ever was shattering. At an older age, I developed a love for dogs however I knew dogs wouldn’t be allowed in our household. I was sure my infection did not persist with these fur balls. As I grew further, the talks of having a pup evolved surprisingly by my father. I searched the whole city online but failed to find anyone. A brief amount of time passed and then the universe blessed me with a baby labrador. With no help or experience, I decided to raise it by myself. Loaded with scratches and kisses, I embarked on a beautiful journey with a pup. That 5-year-old child in me was happy and content once again. After a month and a half, we welcomed another pup to the family. My soul was happy. An animal tends to fix a part of us that we didn’t even know was broken. May God bless all the animals out there. :*

The universe works in mysterious ways. Ways that are inexplainable. It takes a whole new vision to in first place witness such an action. All our life we observed a pattern that was simple. Life went from school to high school, college, and eventually a job. I thought the same that I may work and excel in what I studied because that’s what people do right? Well, it was only until today I discovered otherwise. Instead of seeking a job I “need” I always asked the universe to put me in a place I am supposed to be and I was accepted to anything that happens. I was made familiar with an idea that it is not necessary that I stick to my “job”. I didn’t understand it at first but once I did I realized how much I want to do something I actually might ENJOY doing. It then may never feel like work even if it doesn’t concern what I studied. Nobody else needs to understand this vision. Be it from the beginning or after a few years, it’s never late to start what motivates and pushes you as an individual.
ps- It’s good to be back. 🙂

Only if we could see what the universe conspires, we will never curse it for putting us through pain. You didn’t get that job, that relationship didn’t work out, an opportunity missed, a failure in something, it all happens for the good. What’s important is to keep our aura positive because law of attraction is real. You attract what you choose to feel. Not easy, yes but worth a try. It’s okay to fall weak and cry, we’re humans not robots but it’s important to not make it a habit. We eventually get through and the feeling after getting out of the misery is priceless. If we are going through hell, why would we stop in hell, keep going. 🙂

It’s always said “life is unpredictable, uncertain”. Have been hearing it since forever but with time, we actually experience it. Anything, anytime may change and we need to be okay with it, no matter how special something was to us. We need to trust what the universe has planned, it maybe good or bad. There is nothing either of us can do about it, rather we can train our minds in a way that we are comfortable with anything that life presents before us. Just hang in there, be patient. Believe that you gave your best and if it does not turn out as expected, just know that’s not planned for you, it maybe something better. 🙂

I always had the fear of an audience. The fear was so strong that, it overpowered everything I was doing. Keeping aside everything else I was capable of, I focused on this one drawback. No matter where I went, a sense of submission and intimidation could always be felt inside. It constantly kept pulling me back until the day I finally thought to myself, I lack literally nothing. It’s all in the mind. We never know what people around us are actually thinking of us. We make up our minds to a thought that we are less and act exactly upon it so now I started to think, we are all the same. We all feel we lack something but the point is how much power it has over us. So I started to think, it’s not a drawback and just something I need to do more often. That was it. I never felt the same way anymore. It all instantly turned peaceful. It’s beautiful how much a turn in thought can change your perspective towards life. 🙂

I always wondered why are romantic relationships harder than friendships? Friendships are rarely susceptible. A romantic relationship is understood to lead somewhere like marriage and different sorts of obligations. Friendships may last forever without worrying about “where is this going”. It’s also sometimes unfair to put the pressure of every relationship on your partner. I believe there are separate relationships to do all sorts of stuff. You can have a healthy relationship with your partner and still want to do certain things with someone else and that’s totally okay, and that understanding may help ANY relationship last forever.

I grew up in a middle class family, a typical Indian household, watching plenty of bollywood songs, movies. I pretended to be a heroine, walking down my homemade ramp. Watching actors on TV, made me want to grow up to be famous and rich like them. As I matured, this thought took a huge turn. It’s beautiful for them but I realise how difficult their life turns and how it’s under constant scrutiny. I did not want to be rich or famous anymore. I now intend to have a life of quality and a mind that is at peace and content. A day closer to myself and loved ones, I strive to be happier than yesterday and more at peace in the future. 🙂

Ever since I understood the meaning of love, not just romantically but love for friends, parents, cousins, it has been a beautifully painted picture. It’s always innocent and simple when you’re young because that’s always pure, you don’t know much about what you feel. However as we grow, the definition changes individually for our relationships, even parents, yes. I’m a grown up woman and today I have no definition of the word. That doesn’t mean the world has made us a stone but I’d rather say, I leveled up. It’s now respect and appreciation of whatever we have been presented with than longing for what’s not there. To reach here, there’s a path of too many lessons but it’ll all make sense soon. Nobody is constant, only we for ourselves are. Easier said, but it’s worth it. 🙂

Everyone around a budding human expects so much of him. They once made everyone believe that this is what they want to do and that starts it all. For me it is law. Yes, it’s something I want to excel in however little did I know that it’s all deceptive. We think we know but we still don’t know until it’s tested. 5 years of study and yet today somewhere it doesn’t feel complete. I’d like you to know that it’s absolutely okay. Around all the suit up corporate men and senior counsels, judges it’s okay to go blank and yet know where you’re heading. That’s complicated, I know. This fraternity expects everyone of us to be well read and well spoken, most of us are yet, that doesn’t define the path. Throughout the journey, we meet a plethora of people, some stunningly intelligent and some mind numbingly weird. Strange how we all are standing together. There are times when we look at our mates and wonder how far they’d go while we unknowingly doubt our own capability. It’s funny sometimes as we witness how they all behave like professionals before even actually being one. Today, I’m a lawyer and I’d like to share another piece of wisdom, it’s ok to not know everything. I recently was in a situation that had me realise that I know something of everything and full of nothing and it wasn’t a content emotion. I realised it’s never too late to understand what we want to narrow down to. It’s totally OKAY to not walk with crowd. 🙂
We are all the same.
