Loss of life

Life is a medley of colours. Some days are bright, while some are a dull shade of grey, like today. There are cycles of Joy-Sorrow-Joy, cycles of Success-Failure-Success, as soon as you reach a destination, you begin on a new journey. The paradox of life is that the only CONSTANT thing is CHANGE. As life progresses, we learn to accept changes and move on. There are many uncertainties in life, everything cannot be planned to the last detail. Accepting the change and moving forward is much more easier than RESISTING the change.

There is one change in particular which I, or for that matter all of us find difficult to accept....the Change of LOSS. We cannot withstand loss, loss of anything.....money, things, people..We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of something... we desperately want the lost thing back...somehow...anyhow!

Life is 10% of WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, the remaining 90% is HOW YOU RESPOND TO WHAT HAPPENS. I have made many mistakes in life, I have lost many things too, I am responsible for my attitude towards the misfortunes of this life, I always want to hold on to the slightest of hopes wishing somehow that i recover my loss, while it is much more better to move on and forget the past. I fight with my own self to let go and not let go at the same time.

But as Winston Churchill once said...Success is going from FAILURE to FAILURE without LOSS of enthusiasm. We can all choose to sit in perpetual sadness due to loss or we can rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift we have....LIFE itself...

When You Turn 40, the Roles Reverse - but the Love Remains

If you've ever watched Piku , you know it’s not just a film - it’s a feeling. A reflection. A soft mirror that shows what many of us quietly begin to experience as we near our 40s. There’s something deeply emotional, yet incredibly real, about this phase of life. You're no longer just someone’s child- you’re now also a caregiver, a decision-maker, a silent anchor in the family. And in this beautifully tangled emotional space, one truth becomes clear: the roles begin to reverse. As we inch closer to 40, we start seeing our parents not as the superheroes of our childhood, but as aging humans - with vulnerabilities, moods, and needs. They rely on us for guidance now: for doctor visits, online payments, setting up a new phone, understanding insurance papers, or just navigating life’s increasing complexities. And somewhere deep inside, they know it. They feel that shift. It makes them a little hesitant, sometimes even a little afraid - afraid of being scolded, corrected, or misunder...

Confidence vs. Achievement: Why Self-Belief Shapes Our Future More Than We Realize

During my college days, I often noticed a striking contrast among classmates. Some students were highly capable but constantly doubted themselves, kept a low profile, and underestimated their own potential. Years later, many of them are still struggling to make a mark. On the other hand, there were a few who weren’t the most celebrated achievers in college, but they carried themselves with confidence. Today, many of those confident peers are thriving in their respective fields. This contrast raises an important question: Why does confidence often lead to better outcomes than raw ability alone? Let’s unpack this. 1. Confidence as a Catalyst Confidence doesn’t guarantee success, but it fuels action. A confident person is more likely to take chances, speak up, and grab opportunities. Even if they don’t start out as the most skilled, their willingness to try often accelerates growth. Meanwhile, those who undervalue themselves may hold back, missing out on opportunities where they could...
