Little things MATTER

Isn't it kind of absurd that people think playing sports is more of a time waste than it is a blessing? Yeah, sports are one of those many little things that makes a person happy, gets a smile on the person that is definitely worth a million and also, it brings the mind and body at peace.
The same old, "Don't play else you will do bad in your exams" or something so confusing as, " you are thin hence you don't have to play ". It's things like these that are so annoying. Playing sports is more than just a physical exercise. It's a way of life. It helps in developing so many characteristics in a person. It helps in team spirit, mental and physical discipline, peace of mind and problem solving skills. There's a famous saying " leave a man alone in the ground and that is when you'll see how their behaviour is "
I had the same old monotonous life growing up. I was never into much of sports and physical activities. But then, around 6 years back, I found eternal bliss. I found out that there's more to life than just four walls of your room which have no meaning whatsoever. I was introduced to this ecstatic sport of basketball. Basketball has transformed my life. It's helped me in so many ways like understanding a person, teamwork, and the best of all, peace. The amount of joy I get while playing the sport I love, it's immeasurable. Eventually things will fade, priorities will change, even passions will change .. but one thing that will thing always  remain constant, the one thing which will always be there no matter what is my love for Basketball. Everyone will obviously study, pass out, do well and everything.. But at the end, it's only these small pleasures of life they'll miss.
I don't want to have those moments where I introspect and then realise that I haven't enjoyed my life. I have. And basketball will always be the ONE THING which I would never stop. Find the passion in you, play , not to win , not for the sake of playing but for the mere fact that the sport will bring the widest smile on your face.
Play for the love of the sport and never stop.

The need to EXPRESS

In today's day and age, the world we live in, is a condescending mixture of bitter sweet occurrences. Some may be good, some bad. Because of all this, many of us would cave in and not do anything about it, many would find solace in themselves, and some may just be hesitant to manifest whatsoever they feel. " EXPRESSIONS" are a very important factor and expressing what we feel is imperative. The society we live in "forbids" us to exhibit what we feel and we as puppets on a string, don't do anything about it. We listen to the strangers of our society, following what those strangers do and confine ourselves with those isolated emotions kept hidden from everyone. Some people even feel that, to show emotions or to reveal what they feel weakens them, makes them more vulnerable, more prone to getting hurt. It isn't true. When we articulate what we feel, our brain goes through a rush of emotions; joy, sorrow and also mixed some times. Ever seen a painting, h...

A nature lovers photography

Hey guys, so starting off. I really wanted to talk about something I hold extremely dear to my heart. The art of Photography. I'm not that adroit at This , but I would love to give it a try. I'm am engineering student , and torn between my academics, extra curriculums and my long term goals , I just wanted to take out time to do something that really gives me happiness. "Photography" , it isn't just a word. It's a way of life. The joy a person gets when his camera is able to catch the perfect smile of a new born , or when the never ending "see you tomorrow hugs" of the good old school friends still remains intact in their albums. Many people mistake photographers to be happy and expect them to lead a life that is superior. That isn't true. A photographer sometimes just captures the smiles of an other person because he misses the smile of someone dear to him. Taking photos, and exploring the adventurous, fun , and possibly EVERY thing of anyone a...
