THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI

 The monk who sold his Ferrari, The secret, and Autobiography of a yogi...

All these books are related to spirituality and kind of self-development.

I am the kind of person who believes in spirituality, I mean it has been part of my life from my childhood directly or indirectly.

This reminded a memory...from my childhood..as I said I wasn't able to spend time with my grandparents but there were people who were about my grandparent's age who loved me...there was this old woman who was the owner of the house we rented..may age was about 6 or 7 at that time... she was a wise lady, she took care of me soo much... I used to spend a lot of time with her...and there was a community of some people related to meditation/ spirituality...as I said it was always been a part of my life...I heard a lot of stuff like we are not our body we are soul, we are what we think from an age where I wasn't even aware of anything but it definitely influenced me...and at that age of 6,7 where I am not even able to understand anything, I used to ask these kinda questions to that old woman frequently... "what is the purpose of our life?" "Why are we born" I don't know where I heard, or how that thought came into my mind... I strongly have that memory of me asking those questions and she is surprised and trying to answer my question and I don't know how I exactly feel now remembering that memory kind of amazed maybe. I mean that's a question that makes question our whole existence.

coming to those books... basically, I am not that book person, I love reading books, but I never really read an actual book, I mean an offline/real book, those books are those books which I read offline/in real and I met these books at the correct point of my life when I needed them the most, I don't know if they influence me much if read them in future.

Those books made me learn about being grateful/ gratitude, I may not seem like I am grateful but deep down I am really thankful for everything that I have, they say gratitude is the thing that makes you stay grounded and happy, those books made me think differently, in another way they changed my perspective about life, I haven't completely changed but I have definitely changed the way I used to think, books really help you to become a better person. read a book, no matter what book, it helps you in some or the other way at some point.

As i am always a fan of writers, i don't care what kind of writing it is if a person is writing something it must be out of experince, i just really have respect for them, they put exactly what they want to convey into words, it's really hard to do that.

Love is..??

Hmm... Love is??! Maybe love is missing someone, no matter how busy you are. Maybe love is liking the things that person used to like. Maybe love is an endless hope. Maybe love is that smile we get when we think of them. Maybe love is the pain we are aware of but still keep chasing. Maybe love is going back to the same person again and again. Maybe love is longing for someone, even when you know they won't be yours. Maybe love is finding comfort in their memories, even when they're not around. Maybe love is realizing that, no matter how far apart, they are always close to your heart. Maybe love is both joyful and painful, hopeful yet uncertain. Maybe love is confusion and clarity at the same time. Maybe love is...(you finish it!)                                                                  ...

I was unlucky...

Yes... yes... I'm still alive. I don't know why, but I always start my posts with "I don't know"... maybe it reflects how confused I am. Hmm... moving on to my life. As you can see, I'm hardly able to write, and now I'm at a point where I can clearly see that both my love life and professional life are messed up. I chose the wrong path, even after all these days of thinking and choosing with so much consideration. And now, I don't know how to get out of either situation. I've committed to a job role for a year that isn't related to my core subjects at all, and I've given my heart to someone who can never love me the way I want. Both of these are hurting me. These days, I'm just stuck in a loop of thoughts, or else I'm crying. I take things seriously... seriously to the heart and head. I don't know how to live with all this mess in my mind. I'm just happy that I have this blog, which is like my sanctuary. I know no one reads ...

so far 2025 is...

So far, 2025 has been hard, maybe the hardest. Every past year was tough, but this one feels like it's draining the life out of me. I left my job with hope, and it hasn't even been three months, yet I already feel like a loser. I mean, sometimes I even feel  underconfident because it's been almost a year since I graduated, and then... These months feel like three different lifetimes. I went on a trip in January, which was cool...because it was Kanyakumari. And then, again... I lost my uncle...Something I never, ever expected to happen. And now, I'm going through a tough time in my relationship. I mean, why do I have to go through all of this? It's not like I'm sitting idle. I'm taking on-call shifts at a nearby hospital, thinking about a startup, and applying to hundreds of jobs. But still, I feel like a failure.  I know, I know...I’m not a failure. I’m much better than this. But every single year, life keeps testing my patience and tolerance. At times, I’ve...
