Your CALLING : On the other side of FEAR

"The things you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling."

Time and again, you'll be handed over a set of rules to follow... a code of conduct to please others... a magic formula to succeed...

And time and again, you'll realise you're getting swept away by the current, landing up where you cannot recognise the world of your dreams. Yes, a lot of water already flowed down the bridge while you were busy chasing the mirage shown to you.

Learn all the rules so you can break them like a pro. Someday. Meticulously. With perseverance. Always paying heed to what stirs your soul. And if there's some pain involved in the process, it is most likely going to act as a launching pad for you. Come what may, do not confuse yourself between that 'mirage' and your 'dream'. Listen to what makes your heart beat a little faster, your eyes sparkle a little brighter and your feet tap a little louder. That, my friend, is your 'calling'. Something that is not going to let you merely exist. It will make your existence richer... and serve you with the peace of mind.

The catch. You can't fulfill your calling in your comfort zone.

They said, "We're afraid."
"Come to the edge", he said.
They came. He pushed them and they flew.

Be a Princess Charming : An Open Letter

"I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I'll be wild, difficult to find and impossible to forget."

To all those lovely girls who keep getting trapped in wrong relationships - Give yourself a chance. A chance to celebrate the woman in you. A chance to admire yourself. A chance to treasure the person you are before you hand over the key to your heart to any Tom, Dick and Harry!
In a society where every chocolate, every bouquet and every compliment that you receive is 'boomeranged' as an Instagram story, you must allow yourself to tear down this facade. It might be painful. Nevertheless, endure it. And ask yourself a billion-dollar question, "Why is it that I have to fight for attention?" The answer isn't pretty, you know. There were days when the 'pretty girl' in you had been winning all her secret battles, wrapping men around her dainty finger...and then one fine day, you landed up in a position where 'pretty' wasn't pretty enough anymore... the lipstick had started losing its gloss, your Limeroad wardrobe had stopped doing its trick and no matter how much your baby toe bled after a high-heeled session, you always found yourself crying to sleep in utter loneliness.

All because you never let the beautiful girl in you bloom into a gorgeous woman. You never let that wanderess find her own way like a drop of free water. You had become a slave to your people-pleasing habit when you should have learnt to love yourself - mind, body and soul... to express your being in more ways than one... to leave a trail for people to take notice. Work on yourself before you decide to embrace another human being in your life.
