A Phone Call to the One in My Dream

Image
Hey. Yesterday, something strange happened in my dream. Let’s go through my dream to get an idea of what it was like. Now, you are in my dream. After seeing a social media post of my friend Rupesh, Me: It has been a long time since I have not called Rupesh. I should call him now. Where is my phone? Oh. Here it is. Oh my God! I don’t have his number on this phone. I should check his number on my older phone. Then, I called him. The phone rings. After a few phone rings, someone receives my call. Someone: Hello, who’s speaking? Me: Hello, I am Abhi. Is it Rupesh’s number? Someone: I am sorry. I am not Rupesh. Me: I am very sorry. I think I have dialed the wrong number. Someone: Don’t be sorry. I am not Rupesh but it is definitely not a wrong one. Me: What? I didn’t understand what you just said. Do I know you? Someone: If you don’t know me then, why do you talk to me at times? Me: I don’t remember you. When did I...

It is all About Willpower

Image
Introduction What are the things needed for completing a work successfully?The answers to this question would be like the following. Some would say hard-work, some would say luck, presence of mind, curiosity, speed, talent, patience, etc. But all these things are of no use if there is no 'will' to do the required work. Explaining About Willpower Through our Daily Life Stuff Doing a work without a will is like eating something you don’t want to eat or eating when you are not hungry. And if you do eat when you are not hungry then it doesn't feel like eating the way it should be. Let us take an example of a car which has an auto-driving mode, good mileage, good shock absorbing facility, enough space for storing stuff and seating space for enough people. However, the value of all these features would be zero if there is no fuel. So, in our case,   will   acts as fuel for doing a work successfully.

Some Things in His Backpack

Image
  One guy after putting some things into his backpack moved ahead on a street. The street wasn’t crowded very much but it wasn’t lonely as well. While walking on the street, the backpack guy reached the location of a bus stop and stopped there. At that time at the bus stop, a bus having a lot of people going towards their destinations arrived, and around 4-5 people got out of the bus. One lady and one guy among those people kept walking after getting out of the bus and the others remained there at the bus stop. The backpack guy went towards a guy who was standing at the bus stop wearing a dark blue formal shirt and black pants. Backpack guy: Hi. Blue shirt guy: Hello. Backpack guy: Are you waiting for someone to pick you up from here? Blue shirt guy: Yes, I am waiting for another bus that would take me to my place. Backpack guy: Before you get into a bus you might like some things that I have. Let me show you. The backpack guy took out very well and neatly f...

Positive or Negative Vibes Having Influence on People

Image
There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.” In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important . So, just keep calm and relax.” Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed both demotivating and impatient but the oth...

Everyone is Different from the others for a Reason

Image
In my childhood, after seeing my sad face, my mother used to say, “God has given equal abilities to everyone, we should never feel lesser than anyone.” Then, I used to believe that and smile back to my mother. But now, I think that the Almighty has made all of us different from others so that we can make our own identity different from others and the difference comes from lots of stuff. So that we don’t look like a copy or replica of others. Usually, we don’t get this and try to do blindly what others are doing without knowing ourselves properly. Everybody begins his/her life in different surroundings.   A person gets his/her qualities from the surroundings where he/she spends his her time. An Example of how Rohan and his life can be different from others Let’s have a look at this scenario. There is a boy named Rohan. Both of his parents are working. Everybody knows the amount of responsibilities parents   have on their shoulders as both of their parents work...

Taking Out some Time for a 'Me Time'

Image
What does ‘Me Time’ mean to me? ‘Me Time’ means a lot to me. It makes me enter a zone where I can keep account of my good works & mistakes of my past and the stuff which I have to do which I feel would be good for me. The good works whether small or big make me motivated especially in the times when I don’t feel so good about myself. The mistakes make me check on the stuff in which I have to learn from or improve in. After thinking about these past stuff, I plan things for moving ahead in my ways and do a little Pranayama and exercises. I do these things because I think they are going to be beneficial to me. ‘Me Time’ is very important to me We go through many situations in our life. We get many thoughts in our mind. We meet different people with different mindsets whether they are our relatives, friends or any stranger. Apart from these, we also have certain duties and goals in our life which sometimes get away from our sight because of the above-mentioned ...

Tests or t20s in Your Life

Image
In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team. Can life be looked upon as test cricket? I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you ...

With Great responsibility come Greater Distractions

Image
If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced. Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things studen...

Start From The Basics, Start Easy

Image
When you have a work in hand, always start from the basics. Complete the basic, smaller and easier parts of the work, first. If you do so, then you feel fresher, positive and confident to do the rest  of the work. Practically, you can examine that  the people who work out the basic, easier and smaller parts initially, complete the work more successfully than the ones who do not do the same. So, start from the basics and start easy.

The Exams got Over

Image
Those were the days of the year 2010 , Vijay had only one exam left of his 10 th Board Examinations. The last exam was scheduled to be on the next day. He had the books and notebooks ahead of him, related to the subject he had exam of. His eyes were on the pages of the books & notebooks, and he was thinking about how to answer what kind of questions, what kind of questions he should answer first, had he read enough to get good marks in the exam, and how his life was going to be after the exam. He had a little bit of nervousness about the exam and a lot of excitement about the exam getting over. One of the reasons for his excitement was also that the results were going to be announced after around 2 months unlike in the cases of other final exams he had appeared from the beginning of his school days till class- ix, where the results used to get announced within 10 days of the last exam. The Exams got Over Finally, Vijay’s exams were over. That time, how good or bad his e...

The Target set for the Relationship

Image
Kashish, Rohan, and Rahul were hanging out at Rahul’s place. Kashish: Are you scared? Rohan: Scared? Me? Yeah. A little bit. Kashish: You should be scared as in the previous meeting you had very much opened your mind. Rohan: But, what’s wrong in having an open mind? Kashish (with a little anger towards Rohan): Nothing is wrong with your open-mind. The things which are really wrong are the things which you had said to my father that day. Rohan (with a shocking reaction to what Kashish said, the reaction had a little bit anger too): Oh my God. Are you serious? Never in my life, I have spoken any bad words to or for your father. Kashish (continuing her anger): I am not talking about that, you idiot. It’s about…………… Flashback At Kashish’s home, Kashish’s Father (to Rohan): I have no problem with you two being in a relationship and I don’t mind that she is earning more than you, but, you should earn a certain amount and know the art of saving to ...

In a classroom of class-III (class of 8 year old kids in India),...........Tushar was sitting next to Amit   Tushar (whispering to Amit, while the teacher was teaching in the classroom): Do you know, what does my father do?

It fell off from My Pocket

Image
It was 11:32 in the morning that day. Dhruv was sitting in the stands of his college cricket ground all alone. He took out the mobile phone from the left pocket of his pant and went on to phone-call Sanket. After 2-3 rings, Sanket picked up the call.   Sanket (to Dhruv in the phonecall): Yeah. Say. Dhruv: Why didn’t you come to college today? Sanket: I didn’t feel like going to college today. Yesterday, I had a hectic day due to the practical sessions in the college and some other personal stuff. So, I thought that I should take a day off today. Dhruv (with a little laugh in his tone): You are talking like you have taken a day off from the office instead of college. Sanket: Yeah-yeah, but trust me, yesterday in the college seemed like a day in the office. Dhruv: Okay, keep that aside. I have messed up something and I thought that I would feel better & lighter if I share it with you. Sanket: Yeah. Say it and feel as much light as you want, but do it quickly as I ...

The Guy and the Kid seemed like Father and Daughter

Image
One day, in the afternoon, at a railway station,   Ramesh booked a train-ticket for himself and got on a train with his small backpack . The heat was not much that day, but also the weather that day, was not utterly pleasant. Ramesh started searching for his seat by looking at the seat number on his ticket and checking the numbers on the respective seats of the train with the one on the ticket. In a few minutes, he found his seat by passing through the standing passengers and wandering vendors of snacks and Tea. After seeing his seat, he thanked God that it was near the window, he didn’t have to climb up for his seat and the chances of arguments regarding exchanging seats, seemed very low as people around his seat, were sitting very comfortably on their seats, especially the gentleman and the kid (A girl) with him, opposite his (Ramesh) seat.   The guy and the kid seemed like father and daughter . The kid was smiling and giggling very cutely and was very playful with her f...
