Chasing sunlight

Coming out of the office building in the evening and seeing it was still bright outside was so refreshing. I never really cared about it in India; never thought I'd crave for something as abundant as sunlight. UK winters certainly changed that.

It will take only a few more days of spring to get used to late sunsets until we stop valuing the sunlight. Only for winters to return and make us crave it again.

We run the rat race for abundance; abundance of money, success, possessions, power. Yet, we easily overlook what the universe teaches us through sunlight—abundance doesn't necessarily guarantee satisfaction or fulfillment.

In the end, perhaps life isn't about chasing endless abundance, but about stopping to catch the lessons the universe tosses our way, hidden in the everyday hustle and bustle.

The light may be what you want, but to darkness you cling. -AS

Money and fame doesn't mean the person is leading a happy peaceful life. A person undergoing a psycho therapy is automatically considered as a " crazy person". This brings shame to the person suffering. Do we even realize that there must be number of people who are scared to seek help just because they are afraid of being judged by the " sane people". We are all at fault. We as a society are responsible for making these people suffer more. The mentality needs to change. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc are NOT to be taken lightly. "Sleep over it. You'll feel fine in the morning" - is NOT the solution for it. Age, gender, profession, status, fame are NOT the parameters t...

The Recap

Have you Ever wondered what must be happening after we die? Its said that our whole life flashes before our eyes.Imagine it's true and that you are getting the recap of your life.Probably all that we will see is running the "Rat Race".An unending loop of the boring routine we wake up to each day.Somewhere between shuffling jobs,earning more money,we all are living a plastic life.Wouldn't you be bored to be watching the infinite loop of living the same routine?Would'nt you want to get a nice last recap of your life?Yes!!Probably quiting the rat race is not the required solution,obviously you gotta think about your daily bread.But make sure to take a little time off for yourself,love yourself,spend some time alone,love the people around you,spread the happiness by sharing joys,well then maybe the recap will leave a footprint in your heart forever.Afterall,it's the blessings that stay with us in the parallel world. -AS Photo courtesy : https://google.c...
