Here & There

Hey there! Can I be honest with you for a moment? Picture this: You've spent hours preparing for an assignment, carefully crafting your responses, and your internet connection drops just as you're about to submit. Your heart starts racing, your palms get sweaty, and that dreaded feeling of panic sets in. Sound familiar? But you know what? That's exactly what I faced last month. That moment taught me something valuable about emotional control – The next time technology fails at a crucial moment (because let's be honest, it probably will), I'll be better prepared - not just technically, but emotionally too. I want to share that journey with you. Quick question for you: When was the last time you felt overwhelmed? Take a moment to think about it. What triggered those feelings? How did your body react? You see, emotions aren't just random feelings – they're like text messages from our inner selves. Sometimes they're crystal clear ("I'm happy! 😊...

ज़िन्दगी की समस्याएँ एक समुद्र की तरह हैं,  एक पार करो तो दूसरा समुद्र मिलेगा,  लेकिन बात तब ही आगे बढ़ेगी, जब हम उस समुद्र को सही ढंग से पार करना सीख लेंगे। जितनी गहराई पानी की होगी,  उतना ही अच्छा रहेगा हमारे लिए।  इस छोटी सी उम्र में, उसी पानी में से जितनी जल्दी बाहर आना सीख लिया,  उतना ही अच्छा रहेगा हमारे आने वाले समय के लिए। कितने खतरनाक होते हैं ना ये समुद्री जानवर!  इनसे कैसे बचा जाए, बस यही तो सीखना है हमें! और हां! कौन से जानवर हमारे लिए, हमारे जीवन के लिए अच्छे हैं, और कौन से जानवर हानिकारक हैं,  बस यही तो सीखना है हमें! अगर ये सब जान लिया, तो समझो आपका जीवन सँवर गया। फिर आपके लिए दुनिया का कोई भी समुद्र, न ही गहरा होगा और न ही वो समुद्री जानवर,  आपका कुछ बिगाड़ पाएंगे। आप बड़ी आसानी से वो समुद्र पार कर लेंगे। बस यही तो सीखना है हमें! ~कलरव

Hello Readers!! Disclaimer: This blog is based on what I experienced last year, so please don't take these things in an ideal way! I am sharing it as this might help someone, someday in some way.  1. COMMUNICATE  It's easy to say but you need guts to even ask a simple question to the other person. Communicating makes things easier to deal with. Clarify, if you feel so! It surely avoids misunderstandings.  If you observe your surroundings, birds, animals and even plants have a very good sense of communicating with each other. So if we want to call ourselves "more evolved", we need to learn from them, how to communicate effectively :)  2. DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE Everyone has their own perspective and thought process, so we should not judge people based on our already developed mindset and expectations. Let's respect the difference of 0.1% DNA between individuals! 3. DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES Person to person, the experience varies, and therefore, their thought process var...

Life is precious and meant to be enjoyed. Don't hold onto resentment and bitterness from the past, it only harms yourself and prevents you from moving forward. In fact, life is too short to harbor resentment. We cannot afford to spend any more time or energy on negative feelings that only serve to drag us down because we never know what the future will hold. We must instead learn to forgive people who have hurt us and let go of our resentments. Although difficult, it's essential for our own mental and emotional health. When we forgive someone, it doesn't imply that we agree with what they did or that we ignore what they did. By doing so, we free ourselves from the weight of our pent-up hatred and fury. We give ourselves the gift of forgiveness, which enables us to move forward with a sense of freedom and serenity that has been restored. Letting go of grudges can strengthen relationships and build a stronger sense of communication. Resentment can cause bitterness and isolati...

Weddings in India are a celebration of families coming together as well as the union of two people. Mehndi, sangeet, and the wedding ceremony itself are just a few of the customary festivities and rituals that take place over a few days. Yet, many families are finding it difficult to cover the price of these events due to the escalating cost of weddings. In this situation, the idea of "Crowd-funded Shaadi" is useful. Couples can now ask their extended family, friends, and even complete strangers to contribute to the cost of their wedding instead of just the immediate family. People can now crowdfund their weddings more easily due to websites like Wishberry, Ketto, and Milaap. The practice is rather easy to follow. Couples can establish a budget for their campaign and create it on the crowdfunding website. They can then invite people to donate by posting about the campaign on social media. The couple may occasionally provide rewards for various levels of giving, such as unique...

Clouds are fascinating objects that can be seen floating in the sky, changing their shapes and transforming endlessly. They are a reminder of the transient nature of life and how everything is in a state of constant flux. As I observe the clouds, I am reminded that transformation is a natural part of life and that we too can keep transforming just like the clouds. Transformation can take many forms, such as personal growth, career development, or even societal change. Just like the clouds, we can transform ourselves by adapting to new environments, learning new skills, and letting go of old habits that no longer serve us. We can also be open to new experiences and perspectives, which can broaden our horizons and lead us to new opportunities. The clouds remind us that transformation is not always linear or predictable. Sometimes, we may encounter unexpected challenges or setbacks that can alter our course or change our perspective. But just like the clouds, we can adapt to these changes...

Hello Readers,  After a long time, I am back here to throw some New Year musings onto you :) There is nothing wrong to have multiple personalities inside you.  Humans, need to adjust and behave according to the situation they face. We are noone to judge others, as you don't even have any idea what they might be going through!  Instead of judging, try to be with them, be their support system! Trust me, you will see a whole different human in them. As every coin has 2 sides, the humans also have two sides -  1. One which the people around the world sees.  2. One which only an individual knows - the real one, which they might be afraid to show because of the fear of being judged, or past experiences, or anything you might not know!  I would just like to say, this New Year,  Try to Stay Raw and Real  Stay Brave and Confident! Trust me, you will find a different "YOU"  ~Kalrav, trying to adjust
