When we worry about something is due to we fear about it. "What is fear?" According to me fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. When the word " fear " comes to my mind. I think of an emotion that's caused by bad emotion.It's an quintessential emotion. If we ignite fire, and the fire will burns or fire burns. Is this a fear or we have knowledge that fire burns ? What does fear do, rather than making us paralyze. Every where around us, fear follow us. In every part of our life.We all fear about what society will think about us. What other will gossip about us. If we do something different from society. By fearing we are favoring them,of what they want. Here whom are we benefiting? Dont you feel we are benefiting society, by following what they want. Or our parents, because they are controlling you from that fear. But is it beneficial for " You "? We al...

What if I tell you, that whatever it is you are looking for or seeking in your life to appear, is in turn, seeking you? Doesn’t that sound incredible? It is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world to know that what we are longing for is longing for us too. In one of the casual conversation with my roommate one day, she said something that got stuck on my mind for quite some time.

So she explained: “stay in the present, remain focused an...

" Did I Moved On ?"

I mean let's get this straight. These four pegs of whiskey are too blunt for my taste. I need something stronger. You say you got my letters six days back. But I've never been writing them. It's been a month. I'm trying to block your memories off my mind. I mean I'm not some Freud or something. But I know that won't work. Fucking lost my mind over some shitty word like love. I mean who the fuck puts down four letters together and tells the entire humanity to justify an entirely limitless emotion inside it. A feeling that knows no bound. So, come back to the point. Who's writing those letters? Do you have another joint? I need something stronger tonight. DO you imagine things lately? Did those letters seem like mine? You undoubtedly know my handwriting, don't you? Funny, is there nothing you don't know about me. How are you going to remember those anyway? Your mind will block me out. Eventually. I guess you imagine me sending yo...
