A Student for Lifetime

Called up my mom today afternoon for a general chat, she says “I am painting the wall, can we talk later?”. As the call ended, the only one thing that hit me was how cool stuff my mom is still doing at this age. It’s so inspiring to see my parents always doing something interesting – like going for a jog early morning, trekking, playing badminton, working with NGO etc.

The best thing my parents preached: “Beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you. It’s the biggest wealth. The world has so many lessons to teach you. Consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school and your life as classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as full-blown crises. To succeed you got to be open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest university of all, that is, the universe itself.

The times when I lost badminton matches, banged my car and failed in relationships….all gave me lessons. Failure is never an option; it's being able to walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, 'cause that's really why we're here, to evolve as human beings. To grow into more of ourselves, always moving to the next level of understanding, the next level of compassion and growth.
And I believe that there's a lesson in almost everything that you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move forward and being more of yourself.
From last 2 months, I have been closely working with inters & college’s students - the thing that I have learnt from them:
  •      Being who you are (No mask)
  •       Not being judgmental
  •       Open to experiment & learning’s
  •       No fear of failures
  •       Being crazy, laughing just because you want to
  •       Loving & caring selflessly
I am student for the lifetime. Before going to bed the one thing that I ask myself is, “What I have learnt new?” And I answer – I learnt a new style to bun my hair, I learnt a new vocabulary, I learnt what hurts people, I learnt how to console my friend in a new pattern, I learnt a new song…
I want to learn to swim, skydive, ballet dance, play guitar, bake yummy cookies, skating & many more..
I know that I m getting better from yesterday…I am getting to be more of myself…I am living the way I want to…I m learning something new every day!

Happy Learning Friends!

Death to living….

Today my parents closely escaped themselves from a drastic car accident. These are few of the worlds that my parents shared with me:

Felt what it is like being so close to death. Today just as we returned back to life, we now value it more. Living a materialistic life & trying to build a so called image in society is not what it is. It’s what goodness you leave back before you go for ever. Live to the fullest, love madly, do all that you want to without fear. Don’t fear death; fear the guilt you would have of not doing all that you dreamt when you take your last breath. Death is a fact which you can never change, but what you can change is the way you look at life & your living.


I remembers my professor & later my mentor from my X-Company always saying to me, “You live as if there is no tomorrow”. I lost this kind of me somewhere, but yes, after all that my dad & mom said to me today, sure I will get myself back to living as I used to.
