Set Your Life On Fire!

With the festivities all around the corner and the aura of lights all above the only thing that ticks my mind is to "Set yourself on fire and seek those who fan your flames"...
That's what one should do. At least I make sure that I take this opportunity to set 'myself' on fire and let my worries ignite,rather than burning crackers and causing a mayhem, because that's the only way I can bring in the lost charm, the new found happiness and the likes of it back to life. Isn't it? I've always believed that one shouldn't let the 'kid' die inside, it's the only one that keeps you alive. People today strive to be happy 'with' people, 'by people' and 'for people', what for? Once a smart chap told me a priceless axiom that read as, "Make sure your anger is the most expensive and your happiness is the most cheapest thing in your life!" Awestruck, I was a little taken aback for a jiffy then,that how such a simple thought never caught my attention,however now I seem to apply it every now and then.The only reason that people seem to be more stressed nowadays like never before is that their happiness lies in 'others' and not there 'self'. They've forgotten to live with themselves, always demanding the presence of someone's 'company' from going to the market to leading a great life. We are social being's and socialization is bound to take place, it just does not hold survival value rather it's solely essential for inculcating growth and development. But socialization shouldn't bring in dependency.Should it? That's not what it's meant to do. We meet people to learn from them,from there experiences and make sure our journey is smoother and better. And it's straining to see people going into a long phase of hibernation because a friend ditched them, committing something as gruesome as a suicide because they had a bad life. So what? Who doesn't? Who has it perfect,no one. It's meant to be perfect in it's very own imperfections. When you start to look at people who don't even have a penny but still that 'hope to survive', who don't have a good family but still the 'belief in there ability',who don't have more time left to live as they wanted to, yet they try and make the most of there present, who don't own a bright future but definitely a bright present, its then that you realize the worth of the word called 'LIFE' and you come to realize that , that's what you are missing out on. No one is blessed with all the good things in life, the goodness lies in yourself and that is what you need to seek.The day you stop pointing bad things in others and realizing good in yourself, The world will then never seem to be daunting rather a blissful place to be in.Make sure you spread happiness wherever you are,make sure that you take the moment and make it special and make sure that you live your life as if there is no tomorrow because there might be none! Every shot must be your last and with just one thought in mind....

Best thing that Eva Happened To Me!

There are some things in life that change you as never before,that help you come out of your cocoon and see that the world is a beautiful place to be in. Those things that bring out the best in you and leave a mark upon your life so much so that it reflects in your personality. It reflects in the kind of a person you are. Yes I am talking of something that intense and that impactful. Every one would have or if not will for sure once come about such a phase in their life that makes them realize a little bit of their own self. I am fortunate to have had one such enriching experience so early in my life. It was 9th September 2012, at around 8 o'clock in the morning, when I was waiting for my induction into one amazing Organization called 'AIESEC In Chandigarh'. It had all begun from there on,I mean that life changing experience, but the spell had been casted much before. One fine afternoon, in a very jazzy Cafe', I was called for my final interview with the President of the Local Chapter,as any amateur I had my own preconceptions of that interview,but believe me or not those 2 lines during my interview made me change the way I thought then and the way I think now. Which were,"Who are you? And why are you here?" As an idiot I started blurting out things that we are made to Ratta-fy (mug up) while giving our bio,but that wasn't what the question demanded,it's now that I understand that. That deep insight which that young fella had then wanted me to gain, still somehow seems to revolve in my head all the time. When I told him this later,he smiled and said,'that's what it was meant to do to you". ;) I had no idea then of what I was getting into,but just that it's some big Organization that will provide me with a good enough experience to add onto my CV and nothing else. My induction happened and I got recruited into one of the most smartest department of the Local Chapter,that I then did not realize and still dissatisfied with it I thought that I won't be sticking long into the Organization and would leave it in a month or so,making one or the other lame excuse (which of course later on never happened). There were certain people in the Organization that had got me inducted and when they heard that I wanted to leave they made sure I didn't,they made sure that I stuck to it longer and had my own experience.I can never thank them enough.They made sure I stayed not by making any fake promises about the kind of learning's that they will impart me but by giving me those life long learning's for real. I started realizing slowly and steadily the essence of the Organization, learning about there culture (which is thee most coolest aspect of it) and knowing of stories of different alumnus of the Organization. Thinking that,maybe I don't fit in here because these people are way too cool for me. It was then that someone in the Local Chapter told me, that it's not that we are cool and you are not, it's just that we have discovered our true selves and you are still figuring out,once you are done, you will be way more cooler that what we are :) And then there was no looking back, I worked crazy,had mad fun,met amazing individuals,went on some very amazing meetings and made my own story, a one I would never want to forget and a one that made me realize a little bit of 'me'. From a girl who could never gather the confidence to voice out her opinion in front of 5 people, who was not-so-very social,who was abashed about the kind of personality that she carried, to a one who can hold herself with aplomb, has friends in various parts of the world and can easily reach out to hundreds of people,I owe it all to AIESEC.That's what it has done to me and I am truly proud of it.
