Chetan Bhagat's speech "everyone should read"

Nature designed with a random set of genes and circumstances in which we were born. To be happy, we have to accept it and make the most of nature’s design. Are you? Goals will help you do that. I must add, don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

You must have read some quotes – Life is a tough race, it is a marathon or whatever. No, from what I have seen so far, life is one of those races in nursery school, where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One last thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. One of my yoga teachers used to make students laugh during classes. One student asked him if these jokes would take away something from the yoga practice. The teacher said – don’t be serious, be sincere. This quote has defined my work ever since. Whether its my writing, my job, my relationships or any of my goals. I get thousands of opinions on my writing everyday. There is heaps of praise, there is intense criticism. If I take it all seriously, how will I write? Or rather, how will I live? Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

Dreams come true...


I dream and forget, I make a wish and forget... but dreams awaken me and wishes come true.
Things happen on its own way and make me realise that it was wat i had dreamt and it was wat i wished someday.
Everyday while am on my way to office, i ensure i pray to a jain temple which i pass by and visiting that temple was jus a taut "wish i could" and tats it, nothing more!!!
sunday evening, while me n dad were returning frm the visit to his frnd's place... he suddenly said annu come let's go to tis temple and i was dumb stuck with so many tauts:)
when i went inside, it was so pleasent with a peaceful atmosphere decorated with natural lamps, something new, different and divine.
they were taking harathi and i doubted i would get an oppurtunity to do it, after everyone was done... the person who was performing it called me and gave it to me to do it:)

Pursuit of happyness:)




Saturday afternoon is spent in an ideal way of watching a sensible movie, with intense feel.
Its a movie but not like any other movie which has all struggles and a sudden success but a common man life which moves us by his disappointments, missed oppurtunities,endless failures, sickening pain ...  accompanied by his son. finally it tells us that pursuing success can be only through toil and dreams.

It makes you appreciate your own circumstances and feel an eye to happiness should be the essence of life.

Thanks to my frnd who made me watch this movie:)

A dance in the rain which i have never tried but always will want to and you will know with whom it is all with, rain is been always to me a showers of blessings of love from the angels in heaven.
Wish this wish comes true:)
