Expectations


Expectations – Guess this word bothers us a lot in our lives. Expectations on results, on our lives and on others. Especially the last one worries us. The higher you expect on anything it leads to nothing but disappointment. You may say, one needs to have a hope in life. Yes, we need hope for something but there is a thin line between an expectation and a hope. Hope is a wish, it is different from expectation. Hope is flexible, we wish for the best. We know it can go wrong and we are ready to accept it while hoping for best. There is more success rate to hope than expectation because expectations usually fails a lot.

        Hope is love where expectations are rigid, we tend to hold on to them. Problems were never the issue, your expectations to it were. You assumed something to happen and it didn’t. You crippled a lot because you had high expectations. That’s why they say “Expect the worst and hope for the best.” It means don’t lose hope till the last moment but don’t be clingy either.


                We also have high expectations on others. To be the way we want. Some people run fast in life and expect others to do the same and when they don’t, we get upset. Remember no one’s gonna live your life. Everyone has their own pace and place . There is a saying “Don’t blame other for disappointing. Blame yourself for high expectations”. Don’t be upset when they are not loving you back nor replying to your texts or getting the things done on time nor being there when you needed. Just because you invested your money, time or love there isn’t a rule they should reciprocate the same. As Monica said, “Welcome to the real world, it sucks! You’re gonna love it.” Whenever you are giving yourself away, don’t expect it in return. Instead hold your feelings back, it's gonna help you a lot. Life isn’t always a return on investment policy, it’s like a cancellation refund you don’t get back full but still you are gonna get something out of it. Let your hope not hurt you but help you to become a better person.

                                                                                                                                               Sushmitha

Be Kind to your Mind!

As we are in the Mental Health Awareness month, it is really important to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Mental health depends on many factors such as handling situations, family imbalance, peer-competition, societal pressure, trust issues and etc. Research says the people in our lives and around us impact on our behaviour also. We meet a lot of people with different personalities. Some makes us happy, sad, angry while some make us feel guilty for what we are by pointing out flaws. Your tribe decides your vibe. So, who are your tribe? Let’s see the common types of people we come across in our lives.                The Socializer a.k.a Extrovert – these people always take initiatives, makes friends easily, always ready to help others and are party poopers. They are optimistic but little dominant in nature. These try to cheer you up when you are low. The Home Alone a.k.a Introvert – these people have very few fri...

The Quarantined Mind!

      Days passing by, we have no motive but to wait for the lock down to end. Today, we are talking that there used to be a time when we were rushing to work in the congested traffic, attending meetings, hanging out with friends, going out on weekends and prioritizing things has brought a new meaning for B.C i.e, Before Corona.                             Life is unpredictable – well yes, the perfect example of what we have been going through the past few days. Economic crisis, Recession in jobs, deaths, cancellation of travel is what we hear all day. Each one has a different story but today we all are part of one big story COVID-19 sharing the common emotion - quarantined between four walls, social – distancing and hoping for a tomorrow. What do we call this? World War 3? A Phase?   Or a Trauma?             Everyone’s doing their part and making the use o...

A gentle reminder..

  Dear you, How are you? Yes, I know you are not well. I know you are blank, confused, depressed and your heart and mind filled with void. Trust me, so do I. Can’t help to hold back my tears when thinking about the loved ones we’ve lost so far. I write this with deep grief and anguish that all we can do today is to stay calm, strong, pray and help as much as we can. We all started the new year with a positive note that yes, maybe the pandemic is near to the end.   Well, guess we celebrated too early. Despite several warnings we received around the globe, we chose to ignore it (Self-decision). It’s not late though, yes I mean it’s not too late though to still come back to the same place we were a year ago. Yes, it hurts to sit between the four pillars. Yes, it kills us to move away from our loved ones. Yes, we still can’t go back to our workplaces or our colleges. Yes, we have to resume our vacation plans we’ve made all these days. YES, YES YESS….. and YES, the pandemic has...
