Holding The Child

-

Opening the eyes from a fantastical dream just to be pulled into the reality of a boring routine. The moment we wake up from bed feels as if we have fallen into a dark tunnel, the path visible just by a single light source produced by someone above your role. so that you can walk the path of predefined tasks. Feels comfortable yet the darker parts of the cave pull your enthusiasm. Is it needed?

We are born to explore. Whether it's a huge jungle or a handheld device, we have come here to run in all directions. The excitement, the adrenaline rush of looking forward to an unknown used to be high. But somewhere on the path, we have a grown-up to get scared of diverting from a comfortable path.

Getting all your assigned tasks done is always important. It is as if you are getting your minimum requirement completed. Our mind sits relaxed for the final achievement. But, pulling your brain out of the comfortable cushion will be even more exciting. It is as if, having an amazing meal every day and sleeping, is fine. Getting up and walking a bit, pumping extra blood all over your body is much better for your mood.

The uncomfortable exploration is always scary. There could be a deep valley or a high mountain. Still, taking a step out of the straight line gives you a tingle. I am not talking about executing a whole new career, but just an extra step. Every once in a while, step out of the path. You might find a luscious garden of a whole new dream.

Our inner child still wants to try things out of the ordinary, but our grown-up self holds the hand tight. Let it loose a bit. Let the feet run.

WEEK-IN #3

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
