Random Musings:Part 2

Image
I am Receptively Open Minded! What I mean by receptive, is that I have the necessary tools to comprehend new ideas and theories even if they don't end up adjusting my own personal opinions. I am always open to listening to and understanding what others have to say, Whether it involves a counterargument in a debate, an opposing view point in a political discussion, or something else a bit more controversial. I still find it within myself to give in to the opportunity to learn something new even if I disagree. Everyone is entitled to have their own understanding of things. Opinion's are like assholes. Each one,has one. And we each stick to our own. We can open up to people we think we can speak to. Not everyone may agree with you. Not everyone may stand besides you. I too regret opening up to some people and it just bugs me knowing there’s a few out there who didn't even deserve to know me like that but do. But the most important thing to do is to learn. Learn f...

Random Musings:Part 1

First of all you..you right over there, you are special. Your big specs , that extra weight , those braces, And nothing… nothing will take away your beauty from you. Beauty is not always about having dimples , not having pimples , 6 foot height , or slim out of Size 0 diet. Instagram filters can hide your ugly face but not your ugly personality. Stop caring about what people say or what they think about you. Because their feelings will change according to their priorities. People spend their whole lives trying to live up to other peoples expectations and being told what to do. But rather, be free. Do what you want to do, when you want to do. Reach for the sky cause life has no limits or boundaries. Boundaries are just other peoples fears or other peoples limits and expectations. We have only one life, have no regrets, no enemies and no fears. There are going to be days when no one will call you up or bother about you or your problems. It doesn't matter. Because what goes around ...

A Rain of Fire and Gold

Every city has its own history, and the history of each city is marked by a catalytic event, just as each ones life has a certain central event around which it is organized. For New York, it is now the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. For the Mumbai of my time, it is the floods on July 26th and then the terrorist attacks in 2008. But there was an earlier trauma in the psychic life of the city, which marked the before and after for old-timers.. Fort Stikine " This is not acceptable ", protested Alexander Naismith, " Such a mixture of Cargo is nothing short of suicide ". But the authorities were reluctant and Capt Naismith had no choice but to follow the orders. It was after all a time of war. And so it was not within his rights to refuse this mixture of cargo. He had to bow to the inevitable. The world was at war in 1944. The Japanese had already crossed into India from Burma, and the British government was directing all efforts into ...

You Are Not Alone

Image Drawings by- Solar-citrus You would be surprised with how many people in your life could be going through depression at this very moment.  People hide it like a paper bag over their heads out of fear of being judged, made fun of, seen as weak, or just not taken seriously.  Depression should not be taken lightly, it holds us down from our purpose and potential in life.  Those who tell you that it doesn’t exist have never experienced depression in their life, therefore not understanding the symptoms and how it’s something that cannot be fixed in a day!  From my experience, depression arises from the gap between truth and perceived/wishful truth. When things don't look the way you expect or want it to, you feel helpless and when you feel helpless, you give up, fade away, despair. Your feelings are real, your feelings are shared upon millions. Don’t hide it, talk to someone about it. With the right help, you can rediscover you...

Wherever the Road Leads Us

Over the last 4 years, I have traveled to multiple places, mainly South of India. From Manglore to Silvassa, from Hyderabad to Matheran, from Kashid and Alibag to Malsej Ghat etc. To add to that, the multiple amount of videos that I used to take during my trips. A few days ago i came across a wonderful travel song by Mickey Mccleary. I was very inspired by the video concept as well as the lyrics behind them, so i decided to make a small video compilation of the places I've been to recently, using the same background score that inspired me to make this. And so this video was made.

Danke King Klose

I couldn't hold back my tears. The joy of watching him score. The record was broken. 16 World Cup goals and Ronaldo was finally beaten. Miroslav Klose had officially become the World Cups all time greatest ever goal scorer. How long have I dreamt of witnessing this moment. 12 years ago the same legendary Ronaldo broke Klose's dream of winning the WC when the mighty Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the finals. And now 12 long years later, Klose had his revenge, by not only beating Ronaldo's record in front of him (Ronaldo was present in the stadium) but also against his country, a perfect icing on the cake. What followed later was a complete annihilation of the Brazilian national team. Brazil lost 7-0 to the Germans. Their biggest ever defeat and Germany had its revenge for 2002. And as usual Klose's feat submerged to a much larger headline. But that itself is so typical of Klose. 15 years of playing at the highest stage of world football and yet Klose has somehow always m...

Words

I wish life to be as simple as words, Just like a sky full of birds.  I wish every one could follow their heart, And make their life happy and smart.  I believe good things comes to those who wait,  And trust me it will be the best you get.  So fly high with invisible wings,  And enjoy life's unexpected swings --Pooja Naik
