Oops, I am sorry!

 We all have the habit of saying sorry frequently, in unnecessary situations, right? We usually say    “I am sorry; I am late for the class”. “I am sorry, May I ask a question?”, “I am sorry, May  I know  who you are?” …and so on. We have been taught since childhood to say sorry and it has become a tradition to say it even in redundant situations .
 There is a great saying, "Never apologize for showing your feelings. When you do, you are apologizing for the truth." 
The point is “Is your sorry sincere and genuine?” Think about it! We sometimes shower upon the smallest things in the world and leave behind the big ones.
 When was the last time you apologized and you actually meant it?
                                                At a point of time, everyone in their lives, fought  with their parents, had difference of opinion with their close friends or argued with  their teachers. Sometimes an issue might have been a snowflake and it turned out to be a snow ball, or it started with a discussion and eventually led to a debate or we just wander upon our own perceptions on what we have seen or heard, not knowing the other side of the coin. Most of the arguments get carried away because we don't listen to the other side and stand on our own version constantly. We've experienced it, right?
 We never know  what’s gonna happen tomorrow and who will  continue the journey along with us? We never know the value of others  till we lose them. We usually draw a small line between us and others thinking that, we are always right and that's where it all starts.
                                                        Today, we have an opportunity to say sorry, tomorrow we might not. So, I want you to say “sorry” to your loved ones, make a call or directly meet them, give them a hug  ,it doesn’t take more than few secs but this time say it whole heartedly! No matter what has happened and what will. You know, the power of apology is like a win-win situation. When you apologize you win both the relationship and the situation with 100% satisfaction.  “Sorry doesn’t change the past but it DOES enhance the future”. So, think about it! :)

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...
