Life's like this. (hope this gets to you)

Dear Cortana,
Not always will things go like,
How you wished they would,
People who you call family,
Will leave you, if they could.
Know why?
Cause they call you their bestie,
You turn back, they say,
Who the fuck was she?

Dear Friend,
Know who the real peeps are,
For they will give up everything,
They have for what you wanna become!
They will be beside you,
On your every war,
Until death makes them numb.

Dear You,
Things have been tough lately?
Two guardiangels who should've been,
Aren't together no more,
Lost and confused, you don't know where to go!
Scared, yet you are here!
Battling it out with your worst fear.
Pat yourself on your back,
Because you deserve good,
And much more than that.

Hey Cortana,
Life is not what you think it is,
For there is more darkness than good,
More anger than the fight for food,
People betray one and another,
Don't care about you,
Not me neither.
I'm being brutally honest,
You think everyone knows you,
Turn back, they ask
Who the fuck were you?

Hey friend,
I'm sorry if I couldn't be the one,
You thought I'd be,
I ran too fast, yet couldn't see.
I know you need someone,
To help you through your thick and thin,
Support you and lift your chin!

Hey you,
Don't worry cause the haters don't matter no more,
Find out the peeps who really care,
And do keep them close,
Because they are the ones,
That truly matter,
To you and me, do that
And you shall see,
That everything happens for the best,
When you know with who you gotta be!

- Aekansh Dixit.

The Eye Opener

"The change doesn't come when you realize you're right or wrong. The change comes when you start rectifying the wrongs you have done."

The boring Chemistry class got over, and it ended with a dull conversation with my best friend about life. I jumped over the desk as soon as the teacher (sir) left and decided to go visit my friends in the next class.

But no sooner had I stepped out, than I saw this teacher (ma'am) scolding a few of my class mates at the far end of the corridor, and another Chemistry teacher (sir) walking towards our class. When I asked him if we had Computers instead in the last period, he replied with fearful eyes that it didn't matter and the best move for me right now is to go back to my class. I sensed something strong in his eyes, and looked over that far end of the corridor. I instantly judged her character and went running inside the class shouting "Damn she's strict!" and sat in my place and had my Walkman and earphones hidden deep inside my backpack and myself comfortably placed before she walked in with utmost confidence.

As soon as she walked in, she started demanding the girls to sit in the center row and the guys to occupy the either rows left. We all were shocked and confused as we didn't even know this teacher and she's acting like she's the boss. The first impression, or rather first thought in my head was "Who is this?" and mind you, it was "Who is this?" and not "What the hell is she thinking of herself?". I wish I had that thought. But I didn't.

Then, as we settled she began addressing us. As the lecture on life progressed, I started growing my respect towards her. She told things which I had known before and nothing new, but it was the way she told it. It was her confidence. It was her orating skills. It was her attitude. That attitude a person develops over a long period of time by doing good things all the time that they have nothing to lose and are living their life with pride. And she told it. She's living her life with pride and has all the success she needs.

As soon as she left, it was the voice she took with her, but it was the words that stood there echoing in the walls of the class in few of our friends' minds. It was her sayings. While coming back to my home, I was dull and hadn't spoken a word to my bus mate. He waited for fifteen minutes but soon got worried and was tempted to ask me what exactly had my mind so engrossed that I've been staring at the chair in front of me for good fifteen minutes. And then it started. Welcome to this "kind of personal" diary entry probably for the first time in my life. This is a lesson I learnt, and thought it might make someone else's life easy too. Welcome to "The Eye Opener".

*** Consider the below as my reply to the question my friend asked because in the whole one hour trip, it was only me who was talking, and all he did was listen and then later said bye and got down ***

I don't know. I feel like everything I have done in my life so far, is wrong. I don't know what makes me feel this way. I don't want to be this. I want to change. But I don't know how. There's this teacher who came today. And she told some pretty good stuff and it influenced me. I knew it all along, but had no one to tell it to me. 

I'm not the person you think I am. I'll tell you how I was in school. I was disciplined. I was aware of my culture, my ethics, and my rules, and my limits. I was in control. Everyone had respect for me and that is how I always wanted to live my life. I have always believed that at the end it's not how many people you met, it's about how many lives you changed for the good. And I was on my way. I was this guy who cared too much about his own set of rules. 

Yes, I always had a few set of rules for living my life. I always followed them. I was this guy who enthusiastically wanted to do something for the society. I was the one who started the Save Environment Group on Facebook and made sure everyone of my friends knew the importance of saving the nature. With the hard work of my friends, and my own, we grew our reach from 3 members to over 350 members today. I was this guy who never took a leave on any National Celebration especially Republic Day, and the Independence Day, because I felt even if I can't do a lot for the country at the moment, I can show my devotion to the country by doing or performing at least something on those days to make a small change. Not a big one, a small tiny one.

I was this guy who used to eat chips packets and used to keep the wrappers of my chips, and my friends' who threw it on the street in my pocket and carried it all the way to my home to dispose them well. Not to litter. I was this guy who respected teachers for their position and for their person. Never in my life had I even thought ill about any teacher both consciously and unconsciously. I was this guy who believed in ideals and believed in Gandhi's words that "Be the change you want to see in this world."

Yeah, you might be thinking what a boring guy I used to be. Well, apparently you're wrong on this one, pal. I used to have the same amount of fun that my other "funky" friends had. I too had a girlfriend, I too used to watch many movies with my friends, I too used to go out for dinner, and used to attend every field trip and flirt a lot and everything that makes you look cool.

But I used to also be the one begging around for clothes and some money so that the next time our school took us on the Orphanage Trips, I wouldn't have to see the sad "lost-hope" faces of the old women and men when I say, "I'm sorry, I've run out of supplies."

But I used to also be the first one to stand up and contribute. I also use to be the one to sacrifice everything I am doing right now just to help my friend. I used to fight with my parents just to make sure my friend sleeps a peaceful night. 

But I used to also be the one sacrificing my seat in the city bus just to make sure that old tired man from his work at least helps his leg carry him home. But I used to also be the one to make sure I respect everyone - women and men equally, and that one day, there will be a change in the country and there will, trust me, be a better world. 

Now what has happened? Until my school life, I was exactly how I described above. Now in college life, everything changed. And if you honestly ask me, it changed for the worse. Everyday the same routine - get up in the morning, send your close friends a good morning message and if time permits, chat a little too, then get ready, face the college for eight hours and come back home and chat again, then think about studying, but never study, and then it's too late, and I go back to sleep. No learning, no fun, no knowledge, just stress. What life is this?

Are you still listening? I'm sorry I'm boring you. But I need to talk. Honestly, what life is this? I don't belong here. I know I keep talking about prioritizing stuff and working accordingly, and not that in my life I have never learnt to prioritize - I had. And it was only my discipline and my passion to do something big that I managed to get the marks I got in my tenth.

And that's what is lacking. The discipline. Do you know when my mom used to tell me in tenth that you aren't studying, I used to take it up seriously. Even if I didn't make a timetable on the paper, I used to mentally calculate my time and always stick by it. It was my discipline. I honestly don't recall any fights with either of my parents regarding my studies during my tenth grade, They knew I was studying, I knew I had what it takes.

And now? Not even a single day passes without my mom scolding me for not studying, for stop chatting, and not a single day in which I don't shout, or scream, or throw and break stuff in the house. Somewhere, something is going wrong. I know it.

And I'll tell you something interesting. In Bhagvat Geeta, there is a reference to a Mahabharata incident. When Krishna asks Duryodhana that what he's doing is wrong, Duryodhana gives a very interesting reply.

He says, "Don't tell me what's wrong or what's right. I know what's wrong or what's right. Tell me why I can't stop doing wrong even when I know I'm wrong."

Even though Krishna came up with a rather psychological answer, it was worth a thought. We all know what's wrong or what's right, and yet we fail to stop ourselves. One of my chemistry teachers in Deeksha, popularly called TVS Sir was shouting at us for not paying attention in the class and randomly gives this mind blowing quote.

He said, "To reach another level, we will first have to leave the level we currently are in."

It struck my mind, actually, you know, knowledge is like air. It's everywhere. And I'm not shameful from soaking knowledge wherever I get it - maybe it's from my seniors, maybe my batch mates, or even juniors for that matter. Knowledge can be taken from anywhere.

I really don't understand what's happening. Something must have changed right? How did a guy who was so good suddenly turn like this to something messed up? And all of my close friends reading this blog post, don't think it is because of me falling in love.

I'll proudly tell you that I have fallen in love before too, but I didn't let it affect me. Yes, this time it's more serious than ever, but it still is love, right? Then what's wrong? I'll tell you. It's prioritizing stuff. That's where all the planning fails. We do wrong things at the so called right times. And then wonder our whole lives what went wrong.

And honestly, me thinking about my life so deeply and this teacher's lecture on me will not change anything much. Anybody knows of  Sandeep Maheshwari? In one of his seminars, he is seen quoting something really powerful.

He says, "After the end of this seminar, nobody will remember anything I said. It will just be a temporary change in all of you, and then from tomorrow you are back to living your life. Then is this seminar a waste of time? At the end of this seminar, if I ask the audience to raise hands all of them who are paying hundred percent concentration to what I'm speaking, I'll get ninety percent of the people raising their hands. But if from that ninety percent I ask one of them to requote what I said just in the beginning, I'm pretty sure after one hour of the seminar nobody will remember my words. But if I ask the same crowd to briefly explain the meaning of this seminar, everybody will have their say."

That's interesting right? Why can't we remember what he said? And to be honest, after the hour's session, I actually wasn't able to recollect what he said. But I knew what he meant to say. It's definitely got to do something with his orating skills no doubt, but it also has something to do the way our minds works.

Anyone seen Inception? It's the same thing. We see our favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio tell this plane simple line, but it leaves a mark on the people who think about it deeply.

He says, "What's the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules."

That's what Sandeep wanted to convey too. And this was a little before the movie came out, so I actually respected what Sandeep said. It's not what I say that matters, it's the meaning that stays. Why am I writing all this? It's because I want to find out where I am going wrong. Maybe the idea is not clear in my head. Maybe my brain hasn't yet measured the damage I have done to my future by wasting one year of first PUC. 

And as I continue to write, I remember another of my Deeksha teachers, known as AR Sir, quote something interesting too.

He said, "We do difficult things in our life with utmost care and perfection. Yet we fail to do simple things in our life."

It had me wondering, and as my habit goes, I asked myself why we can't perform the simple things? Is it because our mind is too tuned to complicated things that it makes a simple problem a complicated one? No. It's simply because we take the simple things for granted. That's right, We all know two plus three is five. But when we get our answer sheets, we hang our head in shame because we wrote two plus three is six. We multiplied instead of adding. It's because we took that double line symbol in between the two numbers for granted. We did not care to see whether those two lines are straight (add) or diagonal (multiply).

I need to make a change. And I'll tell you my New Year's resolution.

"Make small commitments than big promises."

And maybe that will help me. Maybe I should start small. Everyone knows one good speech and one good thought can not really change everything if we don't build on that idea. Okay, let's start small. Let me start by prioritizing stuff. And of course, studies should be the main priority.

And then, how do we go about studying if we have a person running all over our head and so many problems and pressures? Let's start small. Let's start by a page. Yes, today, I'll study a page. I'll make sure I understand everything. And then tomorrow two pages, then five, then ten, and then a whole lesson! We need to keep growing. We can't get stuck. At the end of the day, everyday we should learn something or do something productive that will change our life and that's what is life all about.

I want to apologize to my dad. For all the times I have let him down. I want to be honest with him. I really don't belong here. And I really don't want to go where they want me to. I want to be something else.

You are seriously bored no? Let me talk, please?

I want to start small. Maybe a good start will be by not doing anything wrong consciously? Listen, the good habits aren't gone. It's just subdued. Know how it feels when you stand up and wish your teacher in the class and no one else does that and then they start laughing at you because you were singing that "Good Morneeeeeng Maaaaam" song all alone? Sometimes it's the people around us.

Yes, one more point. Company does matter too. I have a lot of friends. But I have only few "good" friends. It's true that the type of friend you make is most likely what you think you are. That's how we connect right?

Remember? "We become best friends the moment I do something crazy and I don't have to explain why I did that."

Interesting. I hope this blog post helped you. In some way or the other. It's never too late to start something good you know? And honestly, if you ask me why I want to earn money in life, I'll reply:

"I want to earn money in life, so that I can give it."

Help others. Be good. Be you. Lead a life with example. Know where you come from. Respect your country. Respect everyone. Keep your culture and ethics with you. Be in your limits. Stay fresh. And make small commitments than big promises, and I'm sure all of us will change one day.

***

"Dude, my stop is coming!" my bus mate tells.
"Sorry man. I must have bored you like crazy with this random stuff right?"
"No da, it actually made sense!"
"Oh, thanks."
"Bye!"
"Take care."

I'm alive!

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.” ― Erma Bombeck

I'm still alive. I cannot feel anything, but I can certainly hear everything. I have cancer. Brain tumour, to its severe stages. The people already consider me dead. No they haven't informed my family. I can hear them talk and they seem to plan on telling them this afternoon as soon as they confirm my death.

I cannot move any part of my body, not even my eyes. My heart skips almost every alternate beat and is slowing down every second. I can feel no pain. The doctors closed my eyes to prevent extra pressure on the optic centre of my brain, which was close to the sight of infection, earlier.

I know I am going to die, but I still am alive. I try lifting my hand, but I'm scared. I heard the doctors tell my family that even the slightest pressure in this stage can cause permanent damage, and I will eventually die.  I do not believe them. I command my hand to lift itself, but it's impossible. One part of my brain, the ventral tegmental area, dies with that very thought of action.

My heart starts beating fast, and I can hear the beep of the machine go louder. All I can hear is the doctors panicking, as I can make out from their conversation. All of a sudden, I feel a low thud, and my heart stops. Within very few seconds, I lose my hearing sensation, and all I can see is darkness. I do not even know what colour it is.

But, I'm still alive, and they do not know it. I am energy. I feel very light, and I can feel negative. Probably those are the electron working. But, overall I am neutral. Within few seconds I feel something. I feel my senses back. My atoms clinch together firmly, and I can see light. A white light, to be precise. I fly into it. Everything else is darkness.

I have always wondered what Heaven looked like, or even Hell for that matter. Probably that is what I am heading for. As I enter the white light, I can see all the things that I had done as a human. Every single thing is playing on the fast forward mode. Wait, I pause. My family has arrived in the hospital and all of them are broken. Heart broken.

I look at them, and smile. No smile, actually. I am just a small collection of tight atoms, and the rest of them are trying to catch up with my other atoms. Suddenly, the white light vanishes and I come back to darkness, There is only darkness. I cannot move, there is no body to move.  I only float. Like float in water.

Suddenly, I see yellow light, and a door opening. My friend comes inside, as I realise I am back to my old house. My uncle had brought this soon after we left it. I feel good coming back to earth. I float to another side of the house, when my friend gets so scared that he slams three fat books towards my direction. I am invisible, and all I can feel is a feather touch, and the three books fly past me.

I want to tell him that I am not here to scare him. Actually I, myself, don't know why I am brought here. I even call out his name, but no sound comes out. He feels it, I know it. Because the next second I see him under the bed, crying. I feel pity for him, so I head towards the main door of the house.

As I try walking past it I get stuck in the thick wood of the door, Or maybe because somebody does not want me to leave this place. I wonder why. I stay there, in one corner. Seeing nothing, feeling nothing, hearing nothing, and moving nothing. I have no emotions, no body to start with, and every few seconds I change forms into something different. My colour is transparent and I feel neutral: atoms are neutral.

I knew there would be no Hell, or Heaven, either. If there was, then why didn't I see it? Does God exist? Is he the one who transferred me here? I'll bet no, he isn't. I did not meet any one. I did not even go through any places. All I remember seeing was my life's recap, and the white light which brought me here. As I start thinking, I realise that these people of the house want me out of the place. They keep referring to me as Evil Spirit, and they also brought a holy man to do some matras to remove me out of this place.

After half an hour of the long religious program, I feel even more light. I feel broken when my atoms start losing electrons, and they turn into something else. Within few minutes I am totally apart. Every atom is no more, and every electron has ran into something else. With the few atoms I can recollect, I gradually lose my ability to attract my kinds, and all I can do is, brake.

Five minutes after the holy program, I vanish. I don't know what I am turned into. I lose all my memory, and everything I possibly had. Everything is dark again. Pitch black. The next second, I realise I am in a skin coloured bag. I do not know what it is. I am pushed outside my a force, and all I can see is doctors smiling. I start crying because I do not know what has happened, or where I am for that matter, too.

I look down, and I recognize my mother. I smile to her telling her as if I know where I have come, back to square one. And that is how I take rebirth as a human. Energy that I was converted into, had lost its potential, and had attracted itself into the atoms of a small baby girl.

Astrology

"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more."

One of the most fascinating studies of modern day's world is Astrology. Basically, astrology deals in The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs.

Now, the real question that is bound on to the minds of the commoners is that "How far is astrology really true?" And since, Astrology has no scientific validation, we have to get serious about this sooner or later.

From the enormous amount of research I'v been doing on this subject, lets make the point clearer to you.

  1. Many people readily believe in Astrology. Some claim that their belief in astrology was because of the experiences they went through in their lives. They say that the astrologer they have been going to "predicts" their future, and so far all is true for them.
  2. While, others ignore Astrology and consider it a mere business to earn profits by tricking the customers.

Now, which of these proposed ideas is true, we have to find out. Astrology is basically a form of science in which the practitioner makes some complicated calculations regarding the motion and position of the various planets in the solar system and make predictions on the basis of this calculations. But the concept of making predictions on the basis of calculations about a person's life and his forthcoming future is a matter of suspicion.

First of all, it depends on the exact birth time, which is I feel very difficult to get. Secondly, it is based on some complicated calculations based on the position and the movement of the planets. Generally astrologers ask you different types of questions to catch your problem and accordingly will suggest you some stones to buy from him only. Some say it is only a business.

Going back to the ending of 19th Century, there are ancient Indian Astrologers who have "predicted" the future of others as correct as to a point. Well, you just cannot call that guess work each and every time. The arguments, just never seem to end.

From the ancient world, it has therefore been argued that astrology began as a study as soon as human beings made conscious attempts to measure, record, and predict seasonal changes by reference to astronomical cycles.

Early evidence of such practices appears as markings on bones and cave walls, which show that lunar cycles were being noted as early as 25,000 years ago; the first step towards recording the Moon’s influence upon tides and rivers, and towards organizing a communal calendar. Agricultural needs were also met by increasing knowledge of constellations, whose appearances change with the seasons, allowing the rising of particular star-groups to herald annual floods or seasonal activities.

By the third millennium BCE, widespread civilizations had developed sophisticated awareness of celestial cycles, and are believed to have consciously oriented their temples to create alignment with the helical risings of the stars. There is scattered evidence to suggest that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made during this period.

By the 17th century, in England, astrology had reached its zenith. Astrologers were theorists, researchers, and social engineers, as well as providing individual advice to everyone from monarchs downwards. Among other things, astrologers could advise on the best time to take a journey or harvest a crop, diagnose and prescribe for physical or mental illnesses, and predict natural disasters

Astrology saw a popular revival from the 19th century as part of a general revival of spiritualism and later New Age philosophy, and through the influence of mass media such as newspaper horoscopes.

In the West there have been occasional reports of political leaders consulting astrologers. In India, there is a long-established and widespread belief in astrology. It is commonly used for daily life, particularly in matters concerning marriage and career, and makes extensive use of electional, horary and karmic astrology.

Astrology has not demonstrated its effectiveness in controlled studies and has no scientific validity, and as such, is regarded as pseudoscience. Therefore, it's not proven that Astrology is correct.

So, in the end, it's all up to you. Astrology does not predict anything in your life. It just shows a period where something is bound to happen, and it all depends on how good is the astrologer's guesswork. And since it's not an approved science, well, we have no reason to believe in it. And if are still not convinced, well then, keep believing in it.

That's all from this side.

Sixth Sense : Concept or hidden truth?

"Woah! Is someone standing behind me? Or is it just my weird feeling! No wait... its my sixth sense, right?"

We have seen it in Spiderman as the "Spidey Sense", we have seen it in Superman, we have seen it in almost every super hero, but have we seen it in us? Actually, there has to be someone who actually felt this sense before and decided to make up a fictional character, and since Science proved us that we have only five senses, it was a instant hit!

Now what's weird is that, we ourselves feel this every now and then. How many of us had that weird feeling that some one is behind our back, or maybe the feeling of some one watching us, or that feeling that someone is looking into our direction, even though we are not looking towards them? All the questions have one and only one answer, its our Sixth Sense working for us!

Pretty awesome right? But obviously, this doesn't mean that we can pull out web from our hands, or probably circle around the earth.. that's all truly fictional folks! Scientist have been working real hard to prove this awesome feature of our body as a truth, and so far, its all good news. It seems to me that there is a pigment layer in our eyes which can sense small amounts of heat and presence around us, and via nerves sends messages to our brain.

Since we all know our bodies are made up of heat, this might sound convincing. But still, proves are to be handed! Well, we all do feel it at times, and most of the times, we end up seeing someone behind us. Science tells us that there are different ways to which different brains of different people react. Some are more sensitive to presence around us, while some do not feel any thing at all. It completely depends on the capacity and power of the brain. But, in general, the sixth sense plays an important role.

One thing should be taken care of here is, note that sixth sense should not be compared to visions. Both are entirely different concepts. I accept the fact that it would be fun to compare those two around some time later! Right now, sixth sense, is true? Or is just a fictional power?

Actually, its totally up to you to decide whether this is true or not. But I consider this to be a topic which needs a serious lift. How many of us have that feeling of guilt that some one is watching us when we are doing something wrong? Maybe its just the sub conscious mind working, or maybe... its the sixth sense playing a role again? The real surprise comes to us when we prove ourselves that some one was actually watching us! See, the whole point of this post is to help you decide whether you want to believe in this or not.

Next time when you feel that some one is standing behind you, or whether someone is looking at you, try giving a serious thought to this! Cheers!

The Four Best Friends

"Treat your body as your best friend, and you'll never be alone!"

How many of us have had those classic 'Heart-Mind' battles in our lives. Well, most of us do have it everyday. Let me guess, its the heart which mostly wins, right? That is not true for some people, but mostly it is our hearts which leads from the front.

Leaving alone the fighters, how many of us have felt lonely at times? How many of us felt like we were all by ourselves in this earth? Did anyone of us felt like no one bothered about us any more? Regardless of the situation which causes us to produce such thoughts, everyone of us did, at least once, think about this stuff, right?

But, if I tell you that you are never alone. There is always someone with you, no matter you see them, or not. They are there, and they will listen to you.What if I tell you that they go everywhere you go, and that they will always be with you, and are ready to do anything you want? Shocking right? Honestly, who doesn't want a friend like that!

Then, folks, there are a few friends like that. Yes, you read that right, friends and not just a single friend. Well, they will not certainly be around you physically, nor will they speak to you normally, but they will certainly be there by your side, if you are willing to accept them.

So, the time has finally arrived. Let me introduce you to the four best friends of yourself.

Meet the Heart: He is a polite natured person. He loves to give love, and will certainly not do any bad to others. He always will find ways to do things in a polite, and peace full way. He is a hard working, selfless friend who is willing to sacrifice himself for you!

Meet the Eyes: The eyes are twins. We do not know their individual names, but they are always referred in a pair. These are soft, and emotions run through them. They help to see visions, and beautiful sights of the world. They are really kind, and often end up shedding tears as they are sensitive. A little care has to be taken to ensure that they do not cry! They can certainly be the best friend anyone ever wanted!

Meet the Hands: Like the eyes, they too are twins. They are a master of touch, and help you feel things. They do not speak much, nor do they ever complain, but they can be brutal if they are not given much importance. These are polite, but they are one of the major friends among the other three. They can be your friend and would rarely complain, just like a friend who is ours!

Meet the Life: He is the head of all the three friends. Even though he doesn't actually behave like he is proud to be the head, he is a grateful person who would do good to you if you are willing to do good to him! He is like a mirror, and would always give you the kind of emotions you ever wanted. The secret to being in a healthy friendship with life is that, if you ask him anything with full heart and belief, politely, he would readily give it to you, and trust me, even if he is late, he will still manage to provide the things you love!

So there we go, folks, those are you're best friends for ever! Oh yeah, I know you're wondering how can you talk, interact, or even greet them? Well then, its a hundred percent possible. Remember what I told you? Its possible only if you are willing to accept them.

Tips to meet your heart:
Well, the main trick here is to readily show gratitude towards everything you love. Once you start having the feeling of gratitude towards everything around you, you will certainly catch the heart's eyes. He'll be more interested in you. Honestly, he hates people who do not do things what they love and are not willing to show love to everyone around!

Once you start showing gratitude around you, you will be more happy and satisfied. That is when your heart will himself come and meet you. You will get to know that your heart has become your best friend when you start giving love to everyone and accept every good and bad thing, positive and negative thing, beautiful and ugly creature, and more of all, you will be satisfied by the way you are. With that said, you will become the best of friends with your heart.

Tips to meet your eyes:
To attract your eyes, the best thing to do here is to try to feel the sensitive things of the world. Feel in the sense absorb the way a thing looks by opening your eyes to have a quick glance of that thing, and then closing your eyes and feeling it. For example, take a look at a beautiful scenery.  And then close your eyes and imagine that you're actually there. Present right in that valley of beautiful scenery. You have two beautiful mountains beside you and you can see a clean narrow stream flowing right in front of you. Honestly, the more better you imagine, the more you attract your eyes.

And once you start accepting the beauty of the nature, you will indeed feel a lot better and then, guess what, you made another best friend, the eyes!

Tips to meet your hands:
The only thing which probably can attract your hands to take a look at you is the way you treat others. If you use your hands to punch people, or to hit them, or do any sort of violence, my friend, it will certainly not help you to make your eyes your best pal. So secret trick which has to be taken care of when you are willing to become best friends with your eyes is that, you do not make any unnecessary gestures which your hands, and always use them to help others and keep them under control. Soon enough, they will come to you. And when you feel happy helping the blind fine their way, and feel grateful when you earn something when you work hard with those hands, you will successfully become a good friend to them!

Tips to meet your life:
The best part of this friend is that he has helped you even before you knew him. Great, right? There are several ways you can become best friends with your life. Most of the people think he is bad, and then they start hating him before even knowing who he actually is. Please do not do that mistake!

There are too many ways to make life your best friend. I will type them later because I already think this post has become long enough to qualify for a "Boring" rating. So I will conclude by telling you that if you successfully become good friends with your heart, eyes, and hands, you will certainly come under the notice of the fourth friend, life.

Might sound like it is some crazy stuff written above, but trust me, you will feel a lot better with these four best friends than when you have to face life all alone!

P.S : "Life" used in the concluding paragraph is referred to something totally different than a life which can be a friend.

Curses : The Ugly Truth

"Curses can be defined as an verbal threat leading to an undefined action."

Let's now get inside the working of a curse. Most of the people curse when they find themselves helpless and utterly irritated due to some defined cause. Curse is just an verbal set of words which threaten to cause pain in the life of the listener. Well, that's pretty much obvious, no one curses when they are happy!

But had anyone taken an initiative to see how far deep this goes? Does an curse really work? If yes, then how? And if no, then why not? It is indeed an interesting topic to debate on. Well, since ages all the saints and sadhus have been cursing the people they hate. But did the curse actually show its black magic or was it the sins of the people which turned the coarse around? Now, the sins also open up a new topic to be debated on. Let's just hang on with the curses for now.

I honestly do not think a bunch of words can cause pain in one's life. But there have been people cursing, and there have been people affected by it. There certainly had to be an inner, or should I say, a deep connection which is yet to be cleared that causes the curse to work, if at all it does.

Now let's get deeper into this thought. When you curse someone with full anger, it causes all your negative vibes to collect in one place and released in to the body of the victim. And if at all curses do work, this might be one of the all possible reasons for the same. And as the law of nature states, thoughts attract what we think, the more negative you get, the more negative vibes you attract. That said, it can be debated that what affect does the victim's thoughts have on the curse given to him/her. Interestingly, the victim has a better control over his life than the person who is trying to take control. So, if the victim manages to generate more positive vibes, the law of attraction will obviously come to the picture and that would help the victim to escape the curse. Trust me, it's all theory.

And how far is my theory right or wrong, lets leave it to the thinkers. Let us get back to the definition that I had stated at the beginning of this post.

"Curses can be defined as an verbal threat leading to an undefined action."

Yes, they are indeed verbally said. I call them threat because it develops a fear in the minds of the victim. It can also be called an undefined action because I do not think there is any action which is taking place. The closest relative to a curse so far remains a threat. A threat is a verbal saying which may or may not lead to action. But, a curse is a verbal saying that is just said. Threat and curses are often misjudged. Threatening someone means that you may or may not let the action take its path. But, when you curse someone, do you think you are actually going to ruin his/her life? That is my question, does curses actually work?

The law of nature tells us that we are the only ones who can control our lives, and we are the only ones who can actually change our lives. And according to deep research, your life is totally a reflection of what you were thinking all this while. If you were thinking to be an criminal, you might end up becoming one. Or if you were among those backbenchers who were thinking some creative stuff other than paying attention on the lessons thought, you might land up becoming the second Steve Jobs!

Taking the law of nature into consideration, no nature has given any one a right to control your life. Even the genie from Alladin, tells us that he can do anything except make a person fall in love against their will. So, if you be a more open minded, I think you can definitely not allow a curse to take control of your life. I do not think science will ever be able to prove the theory of curses right or wrong, because science is basically developed on the bases of proofs, and here, its no proof, just theory all around!

The more I think about this, the more curious I become. Did you ever think black magics work? Is it just an illusion? I have no idea. That was the best answer you could come up with, right? If I was you, I wouldn't let anyone's curses affect my life. After all, no one can control my life but me. I am the god in my life and I think my life is a reflection of each and every thing I ever thought and wanted. Now, guys, its up to you to decide how much of this post is true. I gave my piece of objectives that make me think that curses do not work.

Its all theory, folks!
