Don’t let success defeat you In simple words ‘attainment of a goal which one intends to achieve is called success. But attaining the goal is not so easy it needs a lot of effort, planning, consistency and determination. Success becomes easy to achieve only when we meet the requirements which success sets for itself. Goal is in fact desire and as we know human desire is hardly fulfilled. The more we aspire to get, the more our aspiration to get more increases. In fact every step what we take and later achieve is success when we wake up in morning and go on bed at night is also sort of success since during this period we make an effort, make plan, use our conscious and come back on the same place from where we started our days. Our every conscious steps and its accomplishment is success.     Same zeal and the efforts we have to apply in order to preserve the success the way we exert in achieving it. Sometimes we lose thread of success from our slight mistake and...

Sense of Insecurity & the Way out Everyone has a dream of secure future therefore in order to get desired result one makes indefatigable effort. But the fact is that the more we strive to be secured the more it creates a sense of insecurity inside. Uncertainty in surroundings, lack of self confidence and attitude of ‘take it easy’ gives birth to a feeling insecurity. Sometimes sense of insecurity itself becomes one of the biggest reasons for further aggravating the mindset. Vin Diesel has rightly said that Its insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams. ’Negative mindset brings negative result but those who set feeling of insecurity aside and strive to overcome impediment of negativity pave the way to some extent of a secure tomorrow. Irish Novelist Joyce Cary said ‘For good and evil, man is free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. Peo...

A page of my diary Kavita is  in fact not different from others although others call her egocentric because she thinks only about herself because she always takes care of my pain, my problems, my grievances, my welfare and happiness but if she really is self centered in her feeling then what  is wrong in her approach as her self-centered feeling is the consequence of her deep love for me, if we both care for each others then why are being targeted. If people don’t like our affinity, our feeling for each others, why don’t they close their eyes. We don’t like  people to look at us with a disgusting feeling, at our love. It is true that we are a part of society, we must take care of surroundings and society instead of confined within self and exposing our likeness towards each other. At the same time we don’t like others to pry into our silent love  it is also fact the Ishq can not be hidden but what can we do we can not stop loving each others. Our only mistake i...

Fragrance of Remembrance One day every  creature has to perish but what remains is remembrance. Every creature is a mortal being.  We always enjoy melodious twittering of pets but after releasing them from cage only one thing we possess that is remembrance of its voice,acts. Human beings are not different from caged pet. Nature gives them life, feed them, arrange stuff for their entertainment, teach them how to live, how to perform, then after a certain period of time they are released from the cage for an unknown destination, unknown world. Quran says “ Every soul shall taste the death ……………” Death is an end of human life. Departure of a soul to another destination. Hence every living creature has to accept the truth that end is imminent. The period between  birth and death is very short. One has to act and react, laugh and make others laugh , get pleasure and also experience sadness and so on. In brief one has to do all things in this very short period of time...

Sense of Responsibility & Accountability If one doesn’t have sense of responsibility & accountability one can hardly bring harmony either in social or in personal relationship. We are not absolved from accountability towards our surrounding which assign us responsibility we must keep in mind the fact that our sulky and indifferent actions have enough potential to create chaos and helter-skelter kind of atmosphere where we live. Actions of a person speaks that how honest and sincere he is towards the responsibility assigned to him. Everyone  in anyway is accountable to each other because the system which we have made and live in demands participation of one and all in performing duties, responsibilities hence simultaneously we have to be answerable to others directly or indirectly for whatever steps we take. Thomas Paine said “A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody’ Personal relation, social relation or relation...

He sits on mat lying in center of the room covered with red brown cotton sheet over it. He brings out a big piece of neatly tied cloth from his pocket of Kurta wherein he had tied coins after wrapping up his play. His hard earned money.

Criticism – in brief Self Motivation is the Best Solution Criticism is not allegation rather as dictionary says ‘Disapproval expressed by pointing out faults or shortcomings, in other words A serious examination and judgement of something.’ Some welcome criticism on the other hand some deem it obstruction. Constructive criticism open the way of creation of new product with a new invention and new dimension on the other hand criticism which is based on revenge, myopic are the result of ignorance. A learned critic can never be deadly since he researches the creation from all angles then discuss upon it.
