Success in my terms!

The very first thought that crossed my mind when I read the topic was: Success! What actually is Success? Isn't it a relative term? We generally measure success in the following dimensions: Money, Fame, Excellence, Happiness etc. People who become rich, People who excel in profession, People who manage their talents well, and People who always smile are the ones who generally are perceived to be successful.

Having stated all that, measurement of success certainly depends on the context.

For example, if we take Indian culture into consideration, we will have new definitions of success. In a typical high class Indian society, success majorly is evaluated in terms of wealth and power, while in a middle class Indian society, success is measured in terms of proficiency in career or business. But in the most prominent lower class Indian society, success is just to survive; it is just to manage two times food; it is to wear new clothes once in a year.

In the landscape of life, we face certain unavoidable trade-offs.

We rightly aspire to fight back against odds and find the meaning in our lives. But due to excess social conditioning we develop certain stereotypes.

Success = f (wealth, fame, career, context)
Looking success only in wealth, excellent career or fame is not at all correct according to me.

I believe, Success is outplaying yourself every time you find a chance.

For me, definition of success changes with stages of life. When I was in Standard X, success for me was to be the Class Monitor thrice in a streak, while when I was graduating, success was in to be the best over-all student of the college.

At present, Success for me is to live every day chasing my dreams. I reward myself as successful if I manage to take that step toward my goal every day. For me success is not the results, but the effort in the due course. Very interestingly, success is in over-coming your own short-comings and bettering your own skills. In simpler terms, When I wake up at 07 a.m. (even when I am damn sleepy) and go for some health exercises, When I attend classes with full enthusiasm and attention, When in breaks instead of killing time I follow up with my committee members and When I am back after college I spend time honing my skills, learning new stuff, I find myself successful.

Success is in small things.

I firmly believe, success lies in small things. Living the day according to your plan, lending a helping hand to the needy, having a passionate ambitious life and sharing smiles wherever we go are the perfect components of a successful life. In an ideal world, success and happiness should be completely overlapped. Aligning our plans such that accomplishment will make us both happy and successful is what we should aspire for. But due to external pressures and social conditioning we tend to stereotype success with widely accepted parameters.
In the end, it’s our life. Once we start finding happiness and success together, a strange delicious calm comes over.

Yes I aspire to be famous, Yes I adore excelling in what I do, Yes I find satisfaction in outplaying myself, Yes I want to be successful!!

For the time is limited and we only live once.

Love her happiness (not her!)

This is a small tale about love. Love here is not the type of love we usually imagine.Couples engage endlessly with each other, they start observing life in every non-living thing, for them the wind always come blended beautifully with romance.They eat,laugh,cry,travel with each other.Sitting for hours in a park holding hands, or just taking sun-bath on a sea-coast, visiting temples together, and that theatre fun one cant forget.. 

Oh love is such a beauty!!

Sad part is only a few are destined to experience these. Here we take a turn to the kind of love we wanna discuss today.. Lets talk about a person who deeply loves her freind(Ahh it hurts to call her just a 'Friend' but she wants this,so be it!) He knows that she had barely thought before just saying : Look I have no interest in these things (She meant 'He') He doesnt get to talk to her,doesnt spend time with her, But this doesnt really affects his feeling. He even after being a quant-pro wrongs the equation as:

Amazing life + Awesome Career + Adorable family - 'Her' = Life. Plain life. A heavy heart waiting for her.A saddening state of incompleteness. But what I think is, real love is in maintaining the same feeling for her even in these times.This is a test which you have to pass to taste the real ambrosia of love. I know this seems to be highly irrational and idiotic to wait for her till the end and ruining your life, but believe me oh fellas She will come some day if you sincerly love her.. If you wanna trade your entire life just for a smile on her face..

And just the fact that she is happy now without you is way more than enough to stay content. Because if you really have that string feelings for her you will want just one thing : Her Happiness (And not her).So it becomes the job of universe to bring her to you once you display that pure and intense feelings for her..Rest, look she is happy! 

Nature ~ Conscience

Do we wonder what these trees want to speak? Do we realize how melodious this silent breeze is? What does it mean when a cold breeze kisses our hairs and cheeks? Why is the sun  so generous with the just pleasant warm rays?

Yeah, they are all set to embrace us.. 

Cuz nature is nothing but the nexus between our self and our conscience.
