The Bittersweetness of Change

-
As we grow up, the fear of change begins to dawn upon our minds. We feel scared to leave our family, friends and our home behind on this certain route of growing up. But, why is change so feared? Why are we hesitant of taking chances that may change our lives for the better? It's something interesting to ponder about. 
If you immediately find the answer to such a question, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are quite great at introspect. It may also mean that you haven't thought about the question nicely. 
I recently searched for an answer to this question myself, and I suppose that I have reached an answer. 
We don't have the fear of leaving home or family and friends as much as we have the fear of forgetting the memories that we shared with them. When we leave a place that is dear to us, or when we have to move away from our close ones, we begin to miss the memories that we shared with them. We are scared to go to a new place where we have no memories of. For how can a place be called home if we have no memories associated with it? 
Going through such times are definitely tough. But, it is also important to remember the fact that although you may not be used to this new environment right now, you soon will be. It will take some time, but slowly and steadily, you will begin to adjust to your new surroundings. 
Remember, whatever happens is always for the best. Your destiny will never trick you without a sweet reward ahead. So, whenever you are going through such a time remember to take a deep breath, smile and be excited for the new adventures ahead.

Don't Give Up!

Feeling overwhelmed is a feeling we may feel constantly in life. As we grow older, our responsibilities increase drastically. And we can't always cope up with that, which may not always feel acceptable to us because of our inner mind telling us that we aren't doing enough. So, we keep pushing ourselves to go further. This tiny endless cycle keeps on going until we can't find the motivation to push ourselves anymore. Then what do we do? Getting more overwhelmed is something that happens to us unconsciously in these types of situations. But that's not the right approach to problems like these.  Instead, look outside your window and remind yourself of something that you are thankful for in your life. It doesn't need to be anything big and robust. Even if it's a small detail, it doesn't matter as long as you are satisfied. Remember and immerse yourself in that detail. And for a while, you may find yourself feeling happier, energetic, less overwhelmed and most of...

"Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet" -Vietnamese Proverb Raksha Bandhan, the festival celebrating the beautiful depth of sibling love, will be celebrated on 19th August, 2024 with joy and enthusiasm across India. This festival holds deep significance in the country's cultural heritage, symbolising the bond between siblings.  On this day, sisters tie rakhis around their brother's wrist, signifying their vow to protect their brother. In return, the brothers give gifts to their sisters, promising a commitment to their well-being.  The origin of Raksha Bandhan leads back to the ancient times of India. There are several different stories as to how this festival came into being. Here is one of them:  According to Hindu mythology, once Lord Krishna had cut his finger. Draupadi (the wife of the Pandavas) tore a piece of cloth from her saree to bind his bleeding finger. In exchange, Krishna promised to protect Draupadi whenever she needed it. This simple act p...
