Varun but Vaguely

 I've always considered mistakes as a part of life, I learn by making mistakes and find making my own mistakes much more interesting( most of the time) and you know it's all fun and games till it all starts to get frustrating. some mistakes you make, some mistakes make you. it is all about the moderation in which both happen, in my recent past I've been making a lot of mistakes and repeatedly been making, it is one thing to make mistakes for yourself and the whole another when it starts to affect others. mistakes only make sense if you learn from them. as Einstein said, " it is a fool who keeps making the same mistakes hoping for a different result."  keep your mistakes to a minimum and always try to learn from them, see, life gives you chances its only a matter of time when you wake up and start using them. I believe God helps you in times of need and all things happen only by the grace of him. it's your duty now to make the most of it, take some help and run...

  Relapses are  really bad, they make you question every decision you make; you question your hard work your will to work harder, or even the purpose of doing what you do. All the patience, the hard work, persistence, the way to build your path all come down to nothing. It can be frustrating. But you know life never stops it keeps on going whether you want to go or not. So is the philosophy with relapses, it doesn’t matter if you are a cocaine addict or heroine. Whether alcohol is your vice or nicotine. Might as well be the modern drugs of porn or social media. If you don’t want to do it and your mind and body force you to do it, then it’s a relapse! And I don’t think it is something to be shameful of, instead you have to be proud of yourself to choose this tough path for yourself and people you love. Relapses are a part of the process and learn to walk only after falling a few times. What really matters is how long are you willing to stick with the process and how far y...

  Life is a full circle. I feel like whatever we do ultimately prepares us for something that is yet to come; take for example your school curriculum, whatever you are taught each day ultimately appears on the test paper. The same happens for life as well. The only difference is that we don’t know the syllabus. We keep on reading, writing may be the doing part, all that happens to us is a test or maybe a preparation of it. A story that highlights this phenomenon is of the great warrior prince of Yemen: Hatim. The brother of the princess Hatim is in love with is under a curse to be molded in stone; given by a demon. To kill the demon, Hatim has to answer 7 questions/ riddles. Each answer weakens the demon and releases a part of his body from the curse. The quest for answers forces him on an incredible journey. Every step of the journey puts a test in front of him and he has to use his morals and intellect to get ahead. Interestingly, all the previous milestones and people ...

Just like that, we start with something else one of the journeys ends, and 1 more starts. We only are the passengers freely flowing in the cosmos, we get born, we travel and somewhere our journey ends we don’t exactly know where it begins and ends. We don’t even know if it ends. According to Bhagwat Gita we take several births and live several lives and deal with such people, the deeds we do, the emotions we create in our fellow passengers is what we call karma. The written note of everything we did, do, or will do. The balance sheet that decides what we deserve and how much . It has a line where Krishna describes that he and Arjun have had many lives spent together only that parth doesn’t remember them. Then is the western philosophy of YOLO wherein you only live once and whatever is there that is this life. We live once and die too only once. All the good and bad are summed up only in a lifetime i.e., birth to death. The Indian philosophy adds these two. It gives us the conc...

 In life we always want stability, what do I mean by this? It simply means you need to know what is going to happen next, we are engrossed in the future so much that we watch 2 and a half-hour of a movie just for the climax, do you ever sit and think while watching the movie, wth am I watching and why the hell!! But you still sit and test your patience, kyu ki paise bhare hai! Generally speaking people waste more money long term thinking they’re saving short term, buying cheap brand clothes and Chinese products are a few examples, the happiness of saving money now outweighs the fidget itch it will cause long term, i.e early wear out or poor performance by the product and turn to buy such products multiple times will get more money out of your pocket. Similarly knowing the climax of a movie will spoil it but we willingly go to the astrologers to find out how we’ll end up! I’ll tell you what happens in the end…YOU DIE! We had a meeting with our teachers regarding the upcoming e...

  6 months later I had gotten a chance to go out, it’s not that I saw the world after 180 days I just didn’t get a proper reason to move out, but today was different. We had run out some grocery and my brother and I decided to go to the mall and get whatever we need, we packed some of the extra bags with since we knew how we shop and they charged us extra for those feeble plastic bags they have there. All set with the essentials we arrived at the mall, much to my surprise the mall was just crowded as they were before the lockdown, the COVID-19 era hadn’t changed much of the human society, we go out just as much, only that we wear a mask when we go out. that’s it! We reached and wondered the place, nothing has changed, all, as usual, we collected all that we needed and head out. I noticed an old lady standing in front of the line, she was quite strange, wearing a scarf, a knitted sweater with an umbrella in her hand, and a baby pink sari inside. I wondered who wears baby pink! A...
