If I were to go back to those days

If I were to go back to those days 
When I woke up to fresh pollution free air .... would I remind myself that this air will not be there later

If I were to go back to those days
When there were tall trees full of healthy green leaves, to climb on.... would I tell the monkey in me bye

If I were to go back to those days
When my barefoot slushed on mud and rainwater.... would I tell my shoes- you'll have a lot of work to do from now on

If I were to go back to those days
When I was surrounded by mountains in all directions.... would I tell my solitude self, enjoy these moments for I know it would be impossible to feel this way again

If I were to go back to those days
When I could recognise my dad's bike approaching amidst a few bird calls.... would I ask myself if I can find his bike sound amidst 1000 other bikes

If I were to go back to those days
When I savoured the mangoes and wood apples, I plucked from trees .......would I remind myself these are the last fruits you plucked from trees

If I were to go back to those days
When I looked up to see the vast expanse of clear blue sky ........would I tell myself just wait for these blank spaces to be filled with skyscrapers

If I were to go back to those days
When I didn't always hear horns and acceleration noises 
When I didn't wait for the city to lower its constant buzz
When I didn't need to go to the highest floor even to see the sunrise

If I were to go back to those days......

I hope time got stuck

What are the small things you would relish If you were to go back to those days?

it's really happening

When it all happens too fast  When you realise sitting around isn't an option anymore  When you feel the anxiety building  When your heart starts beating faster When your mind races imagining the impossible When your surroundings are quiet and dark but your gut pushes you to get out  When all that was once a routine slowly starts to end  When all the mistakes replay in your mind  When all your dreams aren't only what you see in sleep but the fuel to make everyday brighter Maybe that's when life's happening  Pulling you to make your decisions and draw your plan  Urging you to succeed in such a phenomenal way that even you had never imagined  Just random feelings and thoughts  - BHARATHI SENTHILKUMAR

WAYS OF THE MIND :D

  A churning storm,   a hidden rage,   But on my face, a practiced page.   No messy feelings, just cool clicks, A clockwork heart, with hidden tricks. The ways of the mind. What happens when you are constantly questioning things you cant change. Maybe that's the turbulence of the mind. The pilot who trains to fly through the turbulence is maybe the one who becomes successful. -Bharathi Senthilkumar

Survival vs. Success

It's a common misconception that survival and success are synonymous. While surviving challenges is undoubtedly a significant achievement, it doesn't necessarily equate to a fulfilling life. This post attempts to give perspective into the nuances of survival and success, exploring how they intersect and diverge. Historically, survival was the primary goal of human existence. Hunters and gatherers faced daily threats from predators and environmental factors. Their ability to adapt and overcome these challenges was paramount. Today, while our immediate threats have evolved, the fundamental need for survival persists. However, success is more than just staying alive. It involves achieving a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being. This can be achieved through personal growth, career advancement, meaningful relationships, or contributions to society. Innovation has been a double-edged sword. It's increased our odds of survival, but it's also created new complexities. ...
