The ILLUSORY of life

"MIRAGE", An optical phenomenon which is witnessed by an individual due to the refraction of light. Everyone would know the scientific "definition" or the scientific way of describing what a mirage means, but the following is with no relation to what scientific theories have to do with the terminology.
So basically, mirage is a deceptive yet a very comforting view to the individual which gives them "hope", A hope to carry on for the next hundred feet just to see that it's destroyed. Deception, it's a part and parcel of life. Every thing and everyone can be illusive. Deception is what shapes the superficial world we live in. One second life gives you this bewildering and joyous moments, and the very minute you start enjoying it, life takes it away from you.
But that's the way life is supposed to be. One can't expect all good and no sorrow. Or one can't experience all the pain and gain no happiness whatsoever. Life is about give AND take , win AND lose. Not just about who crosses the finish line first but about how we make our life after finishing last. Yes, people will be better, they'll be more successful, but HAPPINESS, that isn't measured by how good you are at what you do. It's about how well you do something you love.
Many people describe a mirage as an "unrealistic hope" that can't be achieved.. But I say otherwise. Life is a mirage. Not everything you see is how it is going to be the way it appears. It's going to be scary, it's going to be daunting, it'll even want you to quit and stop trying. But don't. Overcome the deception. Overcome the layers and unravel the mystery. Get the better of life and conquer it. Make the hundred steps you took in the hope of finding something amazing count and make sure you do your best to deceive life itself and succeed.

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...

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...

The Guiding Path

"LEADER" , a word so wrongly anticipated by many of us to be a "controller" or a person who has some type of authority over another or simply, a person who dictates the terms and we as puppets on a string, agree to whatever he has to say. That is not what a leader is. Everything described above relates to something that is completely opposite of what a leader is supposed to be. A leader is a person who gives you a task, helps you accomplish the hurdles, helps you overcome your fears and most importantly, acts like a support when you're about to fall and picks you right up when you do. In the world we live in today, it's very difficult to come across people who possess the qualities of leadership. The current scenarios and current situations define rulers as people who dominate another, or who hand out tasks and do not do anything to help you achieve your goals. They aren't leaders. They're rulers. How rarely do we ever come across people who actu...
