Life in words

Someday all of this -- the struggles, the waiting, the moments of self-doubt and wondering --I wish all of this will make sense. 
But for now, I'm trying to have comfort in knowing that I'm trying my best.
Although it is hard, I have faith that I'm learning to be kind and gentle with myself for a start.
Trusting that maybe the struggles are here to make me strong and prepared for my future.
All these moments of self-doubt and wondering, keep me buried deep 5ft under worries and questions!!
Watching all the things around me change constantly, makes me question What am I doing, sitting around putting each brick of my dreams together. 
Valuing each opportunity to make myself a better person.

Seems like the small obstacles are actually not obstructing my growth.....It is my own mind, my own thoughts that are slowing me down.
Although it seems as if staying responsible and disciplined is hard, I find much more hardship to stay in the present without feeling guilty about the past and feeling insecure about the future. 
When I'm reminding myself to stay in the present, 
When I'm reminding myself to stay without having any of the desires that are far gone, 
When I'm reminding myself to only expect what I've worked for,
I'm feeling a certain amount of unfairness prevailing within my heart.
I feel I've come some way down the road but already questioning when I'll reach,
I feel it is not me who has lost the small pleasures of getting to contact my grandparents or any other relative or friend......It is the clash of these great walls of ego that happens to forget the existence of humanity.
I feel I've gathered some understanding that things don't always happen the way you expect them to.
But no one is going to own up to your failures, mistakes and even success but you.

So in the end, I realized it has always been only me all along. It was me who choose all this to happen (knowingly or unknowingly),
It is me how is sustaining through the tides of life and
It will only be me who will own for each of my actions.

    Bharathi,
    Human brain inherently has two brains 1.chimpanze brain(core) 2. human brain.(The Chimp Paradox: The Acclaimed Mind Management Programme to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence and Happiness Book by Prof Steve Peters)
    Human Anatomy itself designed to be reactive and fearful around the environment, because always human tend to use chimp brain. But, if you're conscious enough about this and when you always "Think Again"(book by Adam Grant),you'll use evolved human brain to be responsive rather than reactive.
    “The longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches from your head to your heart.” -Andrew Bennett
    So, never worry about external world and be focused on your self and improve your self-knowledge to identify your ikigai(https://www.sloww.co/ikigai-book/) and work towards it, will avoid all the sufferings and remain blissful.
    I hope you get this message as I infer and live your life happily by being in the moment.

EARTH DAY '24 - THE FACTS

It's  2024 and Global temperatures are rising at an alarming rate . The average surface temperature has increased almost 1.5°C (about 2.5°F) . The loss of biodiversity disrupts entire ecosystems, impacting everything from clean water to food chains. 58% of the global population, or 3.8 billion people face water scarcity and we should question the loss of biodiversity in another post, as the list is longer than ours! Thanks to our ignorance of other residents we share our planet with ! The oceans are not giant trash cans! 88% of water is filled with plastics. We are at the situation of consuming air polluted at 53.3 micrograms per cubic meter. Now I'm not surprised 544.9 million people in the world face breathing issues!  Deforestation, desertification, and other forms of land degradation are reducing the Earth's land productivity.  1.83 billion trees are planted every year, while 15.3 billion are cut down due to human activity. This means that one tree is planted for...

Book review of A Thousand Splendid Suns: A Tale of Resilience, Love, and Sacrifice

A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini is an emotionally gripping masterpiece that dives deep into the lives of two Afghan women, Mariam and Laila, whose fates intertwine amidst the dangerous backdrop of war and oppression in Afghanistan. Through vivid storytelling  Hosseini weaves a narrative that not only captures the harsh realities of life under Taliban rule but also celebrates the enduring strength and resilience of the human spirit. At its core, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a testament to the power of love and friendship in the face of adversity. Mariam, a young girl forced into marriage at a tender age, and Laila, a privileged yet determined woman, form an unlikely bond as they navigate through the challenges of life under the oppressive regime.

A green shadow

In the midst of emerald fields, Where nature's beauty never yields, Lies a shadow, deep and green, A sight that's rarely seen. It dances among the trees, Whispering secrets on the breeze, A cloak of verdant hue, A symbol of life anew. It stretches across the land, A guardian, strong and grand, Protecting all that lies beneath, From the harshness of the heat. It's a reminder of the earth's embrace, A symbol of its endless grace, For without this green shadow, Our world would surely fallow. It's a haven for creatures small, A shelter for them all, A place to rest and hide, From the scorching sun outside. But this shadow is more than just a shield, It's a symbol of life, forever sealed, For without the greenery it holds, Our world would be barren and cold. So let us cherish this green shadow, For it's a gift from nature, we must know, A reminder of the earth's might, And the beauty of its green light. - Bharathi Senthilkumar
