Life is a journey. Some days you are gonna meet people who share the same path as you. Some days you are gonna meet people who don’t.
Some days you enjoy the present, some other days you plan the future, some days you miss the past.
Some days you will find the life to be very easy, other days to be so tough that you want to give up. It’s always going to be two steps forward, one step backwards.
No filter. But the truth is it was not snowing, but I wanted a picture like that, so I got some snow on by myself. Clever.. ain’t I?
Just a throwback from my trip to Shimla two years back. It was the first-ever trip with my sister @priya_gupta025. Hell lot of joy for me & some tiredness for her, as she does not have that much stamina to walk miles after her accident in 2014. Back then I thought I lost her, but God bless. The most loving person in my life, who has been a best friend since I was 4 and she was somewhere around 3. We love each other to the moon and back, even parents don’t get to interfere in this relationship.
Now I remember all the best memories of my life. One being, dancing with my sister after coming back from school, for hours with music cassettes playing on an old fashioned tape recorder. Sometimes, there used to be weddings in a marriage hall in our neighbourhood and we used to dance on those beats in our home. Tell me in the comment section, what’s your best childhood memory?
My quarantine time has started going well now. Life ek lambi chutti ki tarah lagti hai, a vacation that I negotiated for myself and it’s working. I enjoy the morning, the night, rains, moonlight, sunlight, food, Netflix, music, sleeping and everything that life brings me. Haven’t felt this grateful and lively for a long time.

I’m going to explain what shadow work is. When you integrate back the hidden parts of yourself. Sometimes we hide good parts of ourselves or create false beliefs about ourselves, due to social conditioning when we are told that some of our values are wrong, we reject them too. All those parts of ourselves are rejected and that is called the shadow aspect of mind.
There was an English teacher in school, who I respected like anything and always tried to get his appreciation, never ever actually made me feel better. He would compliment other students for their potential, and not me for my growth.
In 8th standard, there was an inter-school debate. A senior student was supposed to go for it, but for some reason she backed out. So I was chosen to deliver a speech so tough. I didn’t know those words, I didn’t get time to memorize those 4 pages and now I think the speech was so long that it was actually out of the time limit that was given. So ultimately, me having not much experience on stage, with no one to encourage me at a new school and actually being under-qualified for the quality for speech that I was given. I was nervous, then I started shaking on the stage. I was scared, people were looking at me into the eye and I just completed as much part as I could and came back and cried.
So the thing is, I kept thinking for years that I have a stage fear, but actually I don’t have. It was just one more identity imposed on me by the wrong people, wrong circumstances, which was not my original self.
The teacher wanted to show his vocabulary skills instead of winning the debate and preparing the students for good. That’s what is called being self-centred. And I kept thinking for years that if he thinks I am not good, maybe I am not. But now look at me, you just completed reading the whole story & I have realised that I love being in the spotlight too.
Give up on the definitions of yourself that society has conditioned you to believe in.
Never let anyone tell you that you are not enough, you deserve less or you can not make it. You have all that it takes.
