Love Aaj Kal

Why is it that whenever we have to say goodbye, milna bohut zaroori ho jata hai. Like the last time. It just needs to happen kind of thing. Is this built in us from movies and what we've seen in media? Life is not a movie though...no matter how much we try to reenact what we see on the big screen, it just never translates into real life. There's no guy who will come running after us when our train is leaving, there's no guy who will come marching in right before you're about to say "i do" and say "i object". These grand gestures, these fictitious moves, don't exist anymore. We're in the pleasure seeking generation. We've become that. Quick fix in other words. Many things aren't done right, many things aren't considered, because what are we thinking about? Ourselves. We want to be happy, even if it's for a temporary time. We want that euphoria, that pleasure, and we forget our existence, what our soul actually wants. Some people are in touch with themselves, they know right from wrong, they see the important things in life, they think before they act, but this is a very small minority. I'd like to think i have my head screwed on properly, but then i look at the rest of the world and just sigh. Love aaj kal is a great movie, with some unrealistic aspects they have portrayed, i think everyone who watches the movie can find a scene that is totally relatable. But because it is indefinitely a movie, the ending will remain "movie-like". Shit like that doesn't happen in real life. Because, it's not all what it's cut out to be. Really. Avoid karle na yaar.

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
