What Should You Do If You Feel Lonely?

What should you do if you feel lonely?

Here are a few things you need to take care of when you are feeling loneliness or social isolation.

Humans are social by nature. They live in the company of family, friends, communities and work organisations. However, there are moments when people want their privacy and a little time for themselves. So they need staying alone for a while to experience positive, pleasurable and emotionally refreshing time. Being alone is a state when people sometimes spend secluded from other people, and this is their conscious choice.

However, sometimes people feel isolated even though staying with other people. They overly need people around them all the time; still, they feel cut off, disconnected and isolated from others. They do not have any meaningful human contact, and therefore they feel empty and hollow from inside. Such an emotional state of mind is called loneliness, which makes the people insecure, anxious and sometimes depressed.

Lonely people need the company of other people only out of fear of being alone. A counsellor always knows that a relationship that is based on fear remains unhappy and unfulfilling.

Lonely people are not comfortable in their own company; they continuously find themselves isolated. They cannot build deep levels of affinity with others. Unknowingly they even stop themselves from being good performers.

REASONS FOR BEING LONELY:

1.Loneliness can occur due to sudden death or extended absence of a loved one.

2.Loneliness is a response to a divorce or breakup of any long-term relationship. In such circumstances, loneliness happens due to the loss of a specific person. It also happens due to the withdrawal from society.

3 Married couples also feel loneliness when there is a lack of a loving relationship or communication between the couple.

4 Some people have a fear of being alone as they believe that their family might abandon them at some point in life.

5 Fear of being alone is also associated with a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. People with low self-esteem do not feel connected with others. They have a strong feeling that people do not like them, and they are a burden to others.

6 People fear to be alone due to medical conditions, to carry out day to day activities, safety issues in old age.

7 Loneliness can also occur due to the belief that we cannot enjoy alone. A person may never have a chance to live alone and enjoy private moments and the comfort of being alone. Because of the fear of being alone, people do never attempt to enjoy the company of them, and they always want people with them. However, if they try to experience being abandoned and then start enjoying the feeling of Independence, they become very confident.

HOW TO OVERCOME LONELINESS:

1. There are many advantages to overcome the fear of loneliness. When you are alone, you have time to think calmly, and there is a particular kind of peace you can experience. Time spent alone is sometimes can even more enjoyable than the time spent with others. So, one thing to remember is that being alone does not mean Being Lonely.

2.People who have good relations with people do not feel lonely. If a person listens patiently and helps others, do not suffer lonely. So the person who does not maintain good relations suffers later.

3.In old age, people feel alone as they start feeling that they are worthless because usually, they do not continue to work after retirement. Therefore, after getting a retirement, they should keep some personal work. It will help them feel worthy and confident. The work can be social service, some teaching to society or related to some other skill of choice. They can meet new people by continuing some job. If a person’s presence is helpful to other people in any way, he/she will be wanted everywhere.

4.Therefore each one should always explore new options in life. Take an example of actor Amitabh Bachchan, who is working despite his illness. Loneliness at any age can be handled by making ourselves wanted by others and not making ourselves dependent.

5.Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, guided meditation and soothing self-talks are a few tools to deal with loneliness.

DAY 5841

Jalsa, Mumbai Feb 14, 2024 Wed 11:59 PM

Birthday - EF - Rajinder Sehgal .. Ef Ishtar Saiyadi .. Ef Rita Varma Thursday, 15 February

‎🪔 ,

‎February 15 .. birthday greetings to Ef Rita S Varma from Faridabad .. Ef Rajinder Sehgal .. Ef Depack Timbadiaa from Kolkata .. and the DEEWARian lover from USA, Ef Ishtar J. Saiyady .. ܐܫܬܪ .. happiness ever from the Ef Family .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

Refined isolation and idleness be the bane of our existence .. nothing to work to , nothing to put mind to .. nothing to be in the look for the forward .. nothing !

Yet that is what is aimed at during the times of non refinement .. and when it comes it produces the concurrent legacies of the system described ..

Much to be done , much to be worked on , much to be, much to be attempted and much to be in the learning ..

And the elude ..

To start up again the cranking of the handle for the engine to roar .. the physical act of pushing the propellers of the craft to get in motion .. the begin of everything to be attended with the physical adherence of manual execution ..

is the strange un understandable part of this genZ ..

and by the time they do .. the next hurdle looms ahead ..

"Isolatory life can be both a refuge and a challenge, as individuals navigate the delicate balance between solitude and connection. In seclusion, one discovers the profound depths of self-reflection, fostering personal growth and introspection. However, prolonged isolation may lead to a sense of detachment from the outside world, creating an emotional barrier that hinders social bonds. The isolatory life, marked by quiet contemplation and introspective moments, allows for a unique exploration of one's inner landscape. Yet, it necessitates a conscious effort to bridge the gap between self-discovery and meaningful human connections, as the delicate dance between solitude and social engagement shapes the isolated journey."

from the intervention of thought to the desire of cutting short the expression and explanation .. there is no time to wait and watch .. for by the time these words are expressed , time has changed .. changed the Universe .. altogether ..

and with age - the philosopher emerges among us all .. in depth and longing and presence , to either sound bugles of brilliance, or conversely drown in its own stew .. !!

A Very Merry Bollywood Romance: My Personal Favourites

I'm not going to say 'there's nothing like it' merely on account of the fact that I grew up immersed in watching hours upon hours of Bollywood fantasies, but rather because I can say with hand on heart that there's something about Indian cinema that really knows how to make you feel. I don't whether it's the oozing charisma and genuity of the actors; how passions and flavour is woven into every detail and gesture; whether it's the fact that your screen explodes with unapologetic culture and colour, or the way the music surges through you like wine through water. True, it can be ridiculously cheesy (to the point where I've even had to leave the room for cringing), but when it comes to mixing serendipity with the sensuous to equate with an experience of heart-rendering love, then honestly; nowhere but India can do finer.

This admittedly comes a little late after Valentine's day, however I was inspired to collab together some of my favourite Bollywood romances of all time (or at least the last twenty-two years) to share in the hopes of inspiring your next Netflix binge if you feel the itch to dive into something different (and better) than your usual rom-com agenda.

Khabi Khushi Khabie Gham (Through Smiles or Through Tears, 2001)

'If you want to be something in life, want to get something in life, or want to win something in life, then listen to your heart always. And if you don’t get any answer from your heart, then close your eyes; think of your mother and father's names, and see how you will reach your destiny, overcome all your hurdles. Victory will be yours. Only yours.'

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in India who hasn't heard of this iconic number, this being India's answer to a cult classic like our own Bridget Jones or Notting Hill. Karan Johar's infamous blockbuster is a millennial Bollywood icon, and if you don't find yourself soaked in your own tears at least five times during the three-hour duration, then I would duly recommend getting your eye-ducts checked. And your conscience.

Khabi Khushi Khabie Gham (or KKKG as it is also affectionately known) is first on this list as it is as quintessentially Bollywood perhaps as it gets: entourages of lavish dance sequences and ornate cinematography, all the while underlined with emotional questions surrounding obligations not only to one's culture and home but moreover to one's self. It concerns the consequences of when Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), adopted son of wealthy businessman Yash Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan), dares to forsake the perfectly selected match his father has picked for him for that of the exuberant Anjali (Kajol) from the lower-class sphere of Chandni Chowk. His choice in prioritising love over tradition and duty creates a fracture in the family dynamic over a span of ten years, this only finally being addressed when his younger brother Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) chooses to repair his broken family and reunite a dedicated mother (Jaya Bachchan) with her favourite son.

KKKG is one of my first choices whenever introducing newcomers to Bollywood as it would be difficult to find much to complain about with it. Yes it has its cheesy moments and a lot of the humour might require some cultural know-how, yet the comedy in question is so perfectly scripted that it doesn't detriment the moments of extreme emotionality - on the contrary, it positively amplifies it. I have additionally always had a soft spot for Anjali and Rahul as their relationship understandingly matures given the circumstances of their union, especially given Rahul's decision to move their small sect of their family out of India entirely. Regardless they still remain hilariously argumentative and flirtatious the whole way through, their more traditional relationship being paralleled through the younger and more westernised dynamic between Rohan and Anjali's younger sister, Pooja (Kareena Kapoor). The film is a package deal for all the emotions and a bonanza of some of the best acting talent in the industry, the love story being not just between one man and woman but towards one's home and family.

BEST SONG: Title Track

Mohabbatein (Love Stories, 2000)

'Love is like life; it's not always easy and it does not always bring you happiness, but if we do not stop living, then why should we stop loving?'

Now, Mohabbatein has a far more lavish layer of cheese slathered across it than the predecessor on the list, but that may be more down to how the cast is comprised of a camaraderie of newcomers alongside more the more accomplished acting masters. Mohabbatein is the story of three students who each fall in love whilst studying at the prestigious all-male college Gurukul under the lense of the strict headmaster Narayan Shankar (Amitabh Bachchan) - his most iron-clad rule bizarrely being that no-one is to pursue romantic relationships whilst under his roof for risk of immediate expulsion. Whilst all hope seems lost then for these horny *ahem* love-struck adolescents, enter the charismatic and emphatically romantic music teacher Raj Malhotra (Shah Rukh Khan). His presence at first seems innocent enough in his encouragement for the boys to nurture their affections as Robin Williams encouraged his own students in the pursuit of poetry, especially as it soon comes to light that Raj's own great love, Megha (Aishwarya Rai), committed suicide when her father expelled Raj when he learned of their relationship; determined that the two were not allowed to be together. That same father then being the unyielding Narayan Shankar.

Mohabbatein then makes for such brilliant cinema and engrossing romance as it combines all the freshness and innocence of young love with the intensity of passions that transcend the boundaries of life and death. The sense of pathos invoked by Chopra is interweaved into every detail of the piece, from music to performance; the preposterous and absurd. The confrontations between Bachchan and Khan in this piece are far more enigmatic than in KKKG given the different stakes between a father and son and the different types of love that two men can feel when grieving over the loss of the same woman. It proves one of my favourites time and again given how, for all the playfulness and somewhat ridiculous outlines in the plot, it is the eternalised love that is embodied by Raj and Megha, and the wondrous idea that not even mortality stands as a barrier between those that truly love each other, that will be hard pressed to feel like your heart might physically glow.

BEST SONG: Humko Humise Churalo / Zinda Rehti Hain Mohabbatein

Hasee toh Phasee (She smiles, she's snared, 2014)

'You are the oxygen to my double hydrogen. Our chemistry flows like water.'

This more modern film addresses far more contemporary issues than its predecessors, the complex relationship between Nikhil (Siddarth Malhotra) and Meeta (Parineeti Chopra) abandoning perhaps much of the traditional grandeur in place of what one could argue is closer to the standard quirky, slice-of-life style typical of an adolescent British rom-com. What is indisputable is that even without as much of a flair for the dramatic and the abundance of glamour, the film still radiates with a palpable sense of heart, as it invites us to explore what happens when flustered yet well-meaning Nikhil becomes saddled with looking after his fiancee, Karishma's, eccentric sister during the week before their wedding. One can't help but chuckle and squirm as we watch Nikhil's hapless attempts to pass Meeta off as a long-lost friend to his family and friends in his and Karishma's efforts to conceal her from her own family, the reasons for her freakish personality going unspoken except for the ominous pills she keeps popping on the sly.

We soon realise the reason Meeta has been isolated from her family is due to how she chose to prioritise her academic ambitions over that of the traditional femininity and getting dolled up for the purposes of marriage and domesticity; the disappointment invested towards her paving a way for a natural connection with an equally lost Nikhil in his endless efforts to appease the incessant demands of his more materialistic fiancee. This then is what makes the film even more compelling given how it goes against the culturally ingrained stereotypes of the man managing to be the effortless, seductive hero, able to provide and fight for the woman he loves in conjunction to the beauteous and elusive heroine. Instead, it invokes a relationship about two people who feel lost in the oppression of society's expectations, the result being that despite judgemental relatives and unstable emotionality, the two are able to find something magical that can only be brought out in each other.

BEST SONG: Ishq Bulaava / Manchala

Pardes (Foreign Land, 1997)

'You've all mistaken me for some innocent little painting that you've framed in gold, and now you want me to hang on these walls in silence and become a part of this false decor! This isn't the dream I came to this foreign land with, is it?'

Now, this is a controversial one. Pardes is probably the most politically charged movie on this list as it is famous for being an incredibly evocative piece of anti-Western propaganda. It concerns what happens when free-spirited Ganga (Mahima Chaudhary) is handed in marriage to the son of a wealthy NRI (Non-Resident Indian), however the vastness of the difference in culture on top of the distance between India and America sees to it that the outcome of such an engagement comes to some horrific consequences. Pardes is primarily then about the clash between cultures when the innocent essence of India is dragged to and exposed within the more confident and lavish shores of America. This premise in itself may seem problematic and would understandably evoke outrage as America is intentionally built up as the criminalised empire in the face of the all-pure India, however, what the viewer must remember when watching Pardes is that it is quintessentially a story about consent and respect. It's about acknowledging the difference in cultures and adhering to ways of life you may not understand, rather than trying to overwhelm and consume that sense of 'otherness' like a tyrannical Frankenstein 'penetrating into the secrets of nature' and causing chaos for everyone. It is fair to say then that Pardes is problematic and the socio-political accuracy of the piece could be spat upon until the cows come home, but it is this sense of duality and complication that makes it so interesting.

The main romantic storyline of the film then may be more of a Trojan horse for the more significant aspects for discussion, but it is more than fair to say that the political stakes are squarely matched by the passions at play. After all, when the wholly Americanised Rajiv (Apurva Agnihotri) proves to be more than a little bit of a disappointment, it is the relationship between Ganga and his adopted brother Arjun (Shah Rukh Khan) that comes to full heart-warming fruition. Arjun's role as the mediator between Ganga and Rajiv in trying to fulfil his adopted father's wish in smoothing the match over quickly escalates to into him becoming Ganga's most trusted confidante and defender. One can recognise perhaps the outdated sense of chivalry in this - especially as the inclusion of the attempted rape scene does appear to be an excuse for tensions to culminate in a traditional, Bollywood-esque full-on fist fight. However, credit has to be duly cast to the writers as they characterise Arjun as possessing a rare sense of compassion and empathy, especially given how his proclamation of love for Ganga is based not on lust but his genuine desire to trust, revere, respect and protect. In addition to this, it is easy to admire Ganga for her perseverance in trying to navigate this foreign land, she becoming all the more engaging for her burgeoning determination without the expense of her self-respect and ingrained love for her home nation. The prioritisation of one another's welfare above their own alongside becoming embroiled in their sense of duty to tradition and family is then what makes their journey towards each other so compelling and heart-wrenching. Pardes is a love story with incredibly heavy undertones that would have to be entered with a particularly open mind, but perhaps once the offences have been fully digested, one can fully appreciate why the film is so renowned; with a love that is all at once devastating as it is wonderful and profound.

Devdas (2002)

'Where can I find again my lost innocence? My lost dreams? My lost childhood? What happened to my home in the shade of the trees?'

If there was ever an answer to the intensity and literary grandeur of tragic romances the like of Romeo and Juliet or Abelard and Heloise, then Devdas slaps back with unparalleled panache. If it wasn't a love story in its own right then Devdas is indisputably an affair for the senses; Sanjay Leela Bhansali's breath-taking production instilling every scene and action with such aestheticism that the Pre-Raphaelites are, no doubt, positively quaking. The story is no doubt a tragedy, following the titular character's (Shah Rukh Khan's) debilitating descent into alcoholism following his childhood sweetheart, Paro's (Aishwarya Rai), marriage after his mother ridicules her family for being descended from prostitutes a long time back down the line of their ancestry. Ironically enough, he seeks relief in leaving his home and taking shelter with a friend who works at a brothel, his emotional deterioration subject to the fruitless effortless of the heartfelt taiwaif (courtesan) Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit).

The relationship between Dev and Paro is continuously fraught with psychological manipulation as the two try to progress with their lives whilst undeniably in love with each other, the acting on the parts of Khan and Rai being so invigorating that it would not be surprising to find yourself holding your breath whenever the two are on screen. the interactions between Khan and Dixit are additionally moving as they have a deeper understanding of one another, their relationship perhaps being all the more rueful in the sense of it being a one-sided sense of self-sacrifice as Dev continues to ruminate over a love he can never have. Indeed, though Khan is typically praised for his rigorous performance, it has been disputed that it is perhaps the talent and dynamic between Rai and Dixit in their roles as Paro and Chandramukhi - the aristocrat and the courtesan - is the actual showstopper in this magnificent piece. It was never in the original story after all that the two women should have a relationship outside their original and comparatively brief confrontation over who loves Dev more, so that fact that Bhansali chooses to instal and flesh out the friendship between these two equally fierce and magnetic women is but one of the aspects that makes this film so essential and inspiring.

BEST SONG: All of them omg

Goliyon ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (A Play on Bullets: Ram-Leela, 2013)

'If hatred and pride can make a desert of the sea, then love can make flowers bloom here.'

Let's establish this from the start - Baz Luhrmann can choke.

This is how a real Rom-and Jules-adaption is done. As the most sultry addition to the list by far (seriously, phew), Ram-Leela admittedly does take a lot of liberties with the narrative. Nevertheless, any alterations or revisions that have been made are entirely for the better. In fact, even if you were to take the stance that Romeo and Juliet were as young and naive as they are in order to heighten the tragedy of violence and conflict, then it becomes more than reasonable to argue that Ram-Leela actually captures the essence of the play more than the stagnant Western replicas that have plagued us in the past. We still have the warring families, the star-crossed lovers and poetics on steroids, only that the narrative is enhanced by the rawness of rural Rajasthan to bring Shakespeare’s message to better fruition. Indeed, if you, like me then, have always been able to appreciate the ideologies behind the original play, yet remained impatient with the immaturity and implausibility of the titular characters in spite of yourself, then Ram-Leela provides the perfect amendment to all those irritations. Instead, we see two leads who are far more enthralling and philosophical, the opposition between them being so devastating given how Bhansali interweaves dramatic irony with frustrating relish. It comes down to how the Rajadis and Saneras cause the original Montagues and Capulets to look embarrassingly spineless by comparison; their inconceivable prowess in being able to manipulate even their own playing on our expectations so much that it cements the romance firmly within the boundaries of tragedy.

Indeed, we are not just treated to a brief separation between the two until the time of death, but rather the stage is reset so that Ram (Ranveer Singh) and Leela (Deepika Padukone) become the respective heads of their families and are forced to war against each other - and not entirely against their own wills either. The film encompasses a similar sense of passionate antagonisation that abounds in Devdas as well then, the irony being that the more fraught and frayed the relationship, the more your heart aches for want of the forsaken lovers to be able to make it. In truth, the film actually starts out ridiculously playfully with bounties of energy and innuendo, the fact that it is able to convincingly transition on its axis to become so emotionally straining being a credit to Bhansali's directorial ingenuity. Of course, the chemistry between the leads in Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone is near indescribable, both balancing refreshing elements of mischief and charm alongside intense vulnerability and ardour. Critics have labelled their performances as probably being still the finest of their careers (which is saying plenty, trust me), the camaraderie between the two hardly being surprising. After all, the two did just get married late last year - and on the anniversary of the film's original release date no less! So if that doesn't convince you of the quality of such a love story, then I'm afraid that you will be convinced by very little else.

BEST SONG: Lahu Munh Lag Gaya / Nagada Sang Dohl / Laal Ishq

Kal Ho Naa Ho (Tomorrow might not be, 2014)

'Listen - live, be happy, smile, because who knows? Tomorrow might not be.'

Honestly, in light of all the films that have been listed before now, with their mind-blowing cinematography, incredibly moving soundtracks and ground-breaking scopes of acting, Kal Ho Naa Ho might seem to fall a little short. It's set in the dreary din of New York, the soundtrack is more constructed towards fun and contemporary glamour, yet it is undeniable that this film is my favourite of the whole bunch. The top of my list of romantic Bops then is the story of Naina (Preity Zinta) and the many complications which taint her family; the pressure being so much that she has been rendered the constant embodiment of irritability. And even forgotten how to smile. Everything turns around when Aman (Shah Rukh Khan) enters the family's life: optimistic, charismatic and caring, he literally breathes new life into Naina's existence, so that before long she finds herself completely devoted to him in place of the unspoken affections of her closest friend, Rohit (Saif Ali Khan). What pans out is that on the verge of telling Aman she loves him however is that he tells Naina that the reason he came to New York was to repair his frayed relationship with his wife, Priya (Sonali Bendre). Unbeknownst to the bereft Naina, this is, in fact, a lie. The truth is that Priya is actually Aman's doctor and he doesn't have much time left to live.

I don't know then whether it's because the characters and scenarios are so well grounded, the dynamics and difficulties within the Kapur family are more relatable, or that the relationships between and constructions of characters are perhaps the most believable, but it's one of those films that you'll agree, once you've watched it, has an inexplicable sensibility that takes the cake every time. A lot of it does seem to be grounded in the healthy and brilliant way the love triangle is handled in the film, as any sense of complication or rivalry between Rohit and Aman is evoked as comedy rather than any serious resentment or envy. It's an incredibly unique love triangle then and this is perhaps why it has garnered so much critical respect, as the love-triangle motif is such a typical motif of Bollywood cinema (with repeatedly toxic and violent confrontations like in Pardes), that it is refreshing to see a love depicted so genuinely and platonically. It's even more heart-warming to watch as Aman does his best efforts to ensure that Naina walks with Rohit down the aisle (or the Saptapadi to be precise) all the while wielding his best façade so that she never realises that he loves her too. In fact, the affections between them are so subtle and few that the effect is paradoxically more intense, as you find yourself latching onto every fleeting sign of love between them that you can. KHNH then is another one that I recommend first and foremost, though in truth it's best not to watch it too often unless you have a few days to spare in which to emotionally recover.

BEST SONG: Titular track

And there you have it - they may not be the best according to everyone's taste, but the romances listed above are some of the most critically acclaimed and effective Bollywood masterpieces to ever grace the silver screen. Though they may start as cliched and melodramatic, with too much dance and quirky dynamic, this is always a foil to deep-rooted passions and die-hard affections - each a romantic experience above and beyond any of your expectations.

Celebrate!!! Every achievement in your life

Every individual that is born on the surface of this earth is aspiring and working hard to succeed in life. Though the phenomenon is not limited to the humans alone, we talk only about humans in this article! We can invariably see every one trying to excel and succeed in whatever one is involved into! Every effort is aimed at doing so. And let me add here, that no effort put in, goes without giving a result, – though directly proportionate to the efforts and timing! What is missing is an eye, to see the results! All that due to lack of patience, that we the humans display from time to time.

No individual can grow without getting success at the smaller summits! In fact, it is the smaller achievements that actually are the cornerstones and the very building blocks of the monuments that we see in an individual’s life.

To understand the concept, let us take examples of the monuments, huge constructions that we see across the world, leaving a few isolated examples, all have been in fact created using the smaller bits and piece like stones, bricks, sand particles, granules of cement, pieces of wood, metal and so on and so forth. But as the human mind goes, it looks at the gigantic size and expanse of the construction and gets mesmerized, forgetting that at the core of the heart, a magnanimous structure is having a very humble piece, which we do not take into consideration and just think it is trivial. Even the reservoirs, which hold the mighty strength of the water, are simply made up of such multiple smaller granules. The weight of a moving train is absorbed by the individual pieces of gravel layered under the sleepers of the rail in unison with others. Similarly, we fail to see the smaller contributors in our life, the smaller steps, the insignificant achievements that have made us the person, that we are today, building us bit by bit, step by step, day by day, event by event into a giant of a personality that we are today! Just like in case of the monuments, we often fail to see the smaller particles that have held onto each other to make the grand structures they are today. Even when we notice the broken pieces inside the monument, we perceive them as an addition to the beauty of the monument. What makes us any different?

I don’t think, if one would not have cleared class tests, quarterly, six monthly and final exams of early schooling days, year after year, one would have been able to complete, one’s doctoral studies, post-graduation or even a graduation! The very base of the shining, gleaming career and the higher degrees that one is holding and is proud of, is the very humble class test that one has passed.

If one would not have played in the gully, with bat and ball or any other sport or game, one could not have been named on the national team! Even the people racing two wheelers or four-wheelers in various national or international events and circuits, must have started on a humble walker or a tri-cycles in their early days of life.

The best of the speakers and the orators that the world has seen, must have been warblers in their childhood otherwise todays proficiency would not have been achieved.

So, dear all, celebrating the smaller successes in day-to-day life is the crux and the mantra of the growth in one’s life, this has not to be forgotten.

We all have pitfalls, non-performing days, failed tests, alone times, frugal days, no money days but remember, whatever you are facing today, must have been faced by everybody born on this planet some or the other time in their own lives. But the shining examples that we have today must have worked up their ways once again, taking courage from the defeat, learning lessons from the mistakes, taking courage and consolations from the smaller victories or the provisions of the Lord.

As it is said that, the object which goes up, has to come down! But the fall of the object cannot take away the credit, that the object had soared in the air and had achieved a peak of its own. Even the spaceships launched after reaching the destined places have to fall town or go into ignominy in their life! So, do you not throw the object in the air, once again?

Let us understand that the life brings us, both, achievements and the failures. When you are walking through the negative trails of the life, please do not forget that some time in this very life you have been a successful person, might be as a kid, as a young person, as an individual and also have a potential to succeed once again. We can proudly learn from the examples of successful people born on this earth, be it Albert Einstein or our very own Amitabh Bachchan

Take heart from the achievement that you had and learn the tricks from yourself, of that success during those days and start applying the similar rules and efforts during these – not so great times. Remember you have to also understand the forces and conditions that might be prevailing currently. Be an informed person, analyse the situation, make a strategy to court the issues you are facing and find a way to conquer them. If need be don’t forget to go back to the drawing boards, learning desks, empowering tracks and put in more efforts.

The issue is that we give up very easily looking at the uphill task, but remember, even the biggest of the issues are there, due to small mistakes committed by us. If we start taking corrective steps, attacking the smallest component, one at a time, start strengthening our mindset and say to yourself that you have got rid of one issue. This outlook to life will help you in getting rid of the downers in your life. As taught to the practitioners of the martial arts, when you are surrounded by a formidable strength of the opponents, who are out to beat you blue-black, take a position, look into the eyes of every individual, read them carefully, and hit with your maximum might to the weakest and most scared person among them. The person will be knocked down in just one punch or kick, part because of your strength (which was the maximum you had) and part because of the fear or lack of confidence (that the individual portrayed)! As a result, the entire group of the opponents who had encircled you with an intention to decimate you, will develop fear in the mind and take you as a stronger person than they had perceived earlier and will run away! Their mindset will not allow them to analyse the situation, that, their chum, who has been brought down by your in a single kick or punch, was the weakest among them and scared.

Life is like this, when you show stronger traits, the weak ones do not occupy your mind and you happen to win over the situation because of the mental strength alone, known as attitude.

When a long-distance runner or a homing-in driver runs or drives, he his focus on the reverse clock that he has built in his mind and keeps focusing on the distance that is remaining to be covered and not the total distance that he has to cover. Even the mountaineers, who attempt to scale the highest peaks, work on a very small height in a day (from summit to summit) and do not give a thought to the monumental height that they have to reach to!

I am sure, you also must be having such smaller successes, like the day you got your first job despite lot of struggle and a lineup of interviews, or the love of your life that you won over despite all the opposition, the admission of your kid to the coveted school that you could get despite all the stumbling blocks, the debt clearance that you could achieve despite all the odds being pitted against you, or even the love and appreciation that you get from your family members despite all the strong words or backlashes that you are subjected to in your professional life. The consolatory pat you deserve (should be given by you yourself) for taking care old parents, siblings, your distant relatives, challenged individuals in your own family or in the society, your contribution to someone’s wedding or hospitalisation or for somebody’s funeral rites! Pat yourself for taking that injured pedestrian to hospital or even putting the person into an auto-rickshaw or talking to a lost child on the platform or helping an old person cross the road. All these acts, which you must been involved should give you that positive thrust to go on.

Remember, dear, when the times are good you aim for the sky, the stars and the icons. But when you are down, look at the downtrodden, the not-so-able-bodied individuals, the destitute, the sufferers. You will realise you are the blessed one! You have more to celebrate!

If you want to understand the value of an eye (though you have two of them) look into the lives of blind people. And if you see the life of deaf and mute, you will realise the grace that the Lord has given you, by giving two ears to listen to the sound and a tongue to express yourself through sound bite and to sing! Look at a lame to understand the value of your legs and life of living torsos to value the gift of hands. Go around the hospitals to understand what your health and perfectly functioning organs within your body has been doing for you! Peep into the lives of childless couples to understand the value of the children in your life.

All the above can be considered as our achievements in our life. Once you look at them, you will get new vigor and courage, not only to stand up and give a bigger fight to the challenges in your life but to win them over forever. Once these defeating thoughts are put down by you, they will never return to haunt you!

Friends, please remember solitary life is a punishment. It is said solitary confinement in the jails are considered to be harshest of all the punishments! The other day, I heard a news report on NHK TV, it said, there are approximately 4 million Japanese individuals who are living solitary lives, no one or nowhere to go!

Think we are so lucky, that we are having our parents, our siblings, our spouses, our children, our acquaintances, our relatives, our friends, our pals, our chums, our neighbours, our society and so much! Why not celebrate all these things and remain happy and once again fight for the podium?

May the Almighty Lord bless all of us.
