Birthday - Another Year Begins

3rd September, every year on this day, I get mixed feelings. I am always very excited when September starts because I keep waiting for my birthday when I am treated as the most special person. And then my birthday actually arrives, I suddenly get the feeling, that I have become one year older :-p

My 24th birthday was spent in my office working, answering calls for bday wishes, receiving gifts and then struggling to reach home in heavy rains. :)

This year was spent gaining a lot of new experiences, meeting new people, learning new things and trying to grow as a better human.

Yesterday, on my birthday, a lot of people wished me. Some who have been wishing me from my 1st birthday (My parents because of whom I exist today), some who wished me for the first time this year (My new Friends who are a blessing to me), some who have been consistent in my life for almost ages now (My sister, cousins and a few of my very “Old is gold” type superb friends who make my life just more and more beautiful each day).

Life keeps teaching us new things every day and every year, there is only one promise, I make to myself that Vidhi – “You need to still be a better human, nicer to the world and the people around and continuously improve in what you do.” I may not be living up to the expectations of all the people around and not everyone may be happy with me but according to me, the most important is to live up to the expectations of your own self and I guess, I always make sure, I do that.

Finally, Thanks to all those people who wished me and made me feel special and nice! Love you all…!!

"Rejections"

At a general friendly conversation, my friend said “Rejections are a part of life.” The statement really meant a lot.

How do we handle rejections? No human would want to be rejected by anyone in the world. But it happens and it happens very often.

People may not like the way you think, speak, look, behave or even dress. But does that mean, we are wrong or does it mean the other person is. It’s an argumentative topic. Each one can have their own opinion and they also have the right to talk about it openly.

Most of us, if given a serious thought, are not able to handle rejections even after being a grown up adult. And that’s something all of us need to learn.

It is okay if there a few people who don’t like you or who would not want to be with you. The world does not end there. You got to just be yourself, do what you want and say what you think fearlessly.

Talking fearlessly, at the same time, does not mean hurting someone. You got to be assertive and need to explain things in fewer words.

It is okay to be rejected. Try to take it in a positive way and if you can’t do that, just ignore it… :)

Poetic Thought

Sometimes nothing seems to be fine

Not even a glass of wine
Family and friends seem to be so unhelpful
Because you think no one around is merciful
When you are alone, you want people around
And when you are in a crowd, you think you should go inside the ground
Don’t think you are alone… You have a pure soul and you have your life
Learn to live… Learn to dream… Learn to Smile

Important... Really??

Yesterday I was just thinking of the word IMPORTANT
Dictionary meaning of important - of great significance or value;

We have important things to do and important people in life. I was just thinking of someone who I would not be able to live without. I thought for a while but then came to a conclusion that there is no one in this entire world who I cannot live without.

Had a discussion with my little sis on the same (Let me tell you, she is too smart for her age), she opined “Didi, important people don't not mean we will not be able to live without someone, it is someone without whom, there will be emptiness in our lives" And she also mentioned, important people keep changing in our life which is so true.

There are just a few who will be forever with you and those are the ones who are worth giving the due importance.

People who we think are really necessary for your life may not have the same opinion for you. We need to recognize the right ones and keep them with us forever.

The only point I was trying to make through this write up is that No one is Forever, Life is a journey and we have to find the right companions for this journey and make life worthwhile.
