Do one experiment. If at all you like to go out of your way to have fun. Go to YouTube, and search Spanish songs. There will a list, also a mix of 50 songs. Then start that playlist. Then sit back, and close your eyes. Feel the music. You won't understand a word. But if you could enjoy that music, you have overcome your inertia. I know inertia is a physics' phenomenon. But all humans have it too. People go to specific restaurants and only order the food which they know, and find it nice. People  avoid to shop at new places. They hesitate to try new technologies (specially oldies). So going back to my faceless nameless. Once you find the first experiment interesting, try the 2nd one. In this go to places you never been, closer to you. Preferably where you can engage in some conversation. Listen to people. You might think what crazy stuff is this. Trust me, it is interesting. You will come across things you never even heard. Tell those people your opinions. Sh...

So everyone has got a choice. I made mine. We decided to visit a new place. Elephant head point. A long walk was required. Majority wasn't ready to do the journey. That's not a new thing though. Tougher roads are always raw. Less crowdy. When someone tells you that 6 km road is yet to complete, first thing comes to your mind is, have I chosen a wrong option, but never back down should be your attitude. So you start walking, and keep walking. The clouds of doubt gets cleared. You start believing in your choice. So once I understood that I am capable of handling my own decision, the confidence raised to a new level. I started observing awesome things. Every obstacle turned into a learning tool. All the day-to-day stuff was vaporized from mind. The valley view was spectacular. And the best part was the echo of my name at the point. You know, at least once in life, visit an Echo point. You will understand why it is necessary to hear your voice.   And one more ...

I hope you are familiar with the names. Of course, that's an idiotic statement. Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. So being a crazy Sherlock fan, I recently watched an episode of a series named Elementary (Its a Detective series with Sherlock in modern avatar). In that show, Sherlock made one quote. For balance, there has to be one Sherlock and one Watson, always. Sherlock is the smarter but rude guy, while Watson is the kinder one. What he implies is, when one member of a bond changes behavior, it is the duty of the other one to maintain the balance. No one would like to watch two Sherlock Holmes in a single story. Its their way of complementing each other that keeps them and us attached. Isn't that the story of every relationship, friendship, or partnership? A bonding is only strong if you maintain that thought. The day both are Holmes they will keep fighting, to prove who is the better one. Simultaneously both Watson's are useless too as they a...

I always ask myself, why the first thing always matter? Be it the first bike, first job , first book or first love. There is something mystical about these first things. They leave an impact which stays with you forever. So I kept thinking for a while. And that's when it started raining. I know everyone loves first rain. It will be hard to find a person who doesn't. The smell of soil. The cold breeze which arrives on a hot sunny day. It's like arrival of a beautiful girl in mechanical engineering department (Only Mech boys will understand)...lol. The atmosphere is suddenly so calm, even the earth is like, dear Sun time to get a break. And then the first drop on your face. Suddenly you realize how much awesome today is. For a moment that tiny water particle makes you smile. And that smile is the key to my wondering. Every 'first time' gives you a pleasant experience. Whenever you are going through tough times, you recall that smile. And that's...
