Something

Felt an intense desire of writing something today; something for my own Korner Kafe. Days are tough for me. And such times always call for someone who can give us his/her time to us for some thought sharing. And at times we have no one around us who can be trusted for this. I was simply wondering whom to call and who would be ready to waste his/her time in order to listen to my bakwas. No name seemed reasonable. Then suddenly the bulb of brain enlightened and I remembered the purpose for which this blog was actually created. How could I forget my own Korner Kafe; a paradise for all tired and frustrated minds?

So here I am. Pressing some random keys on the keyboard; And I don’t know what exactly I had to share. Anyway, to start with I think there are some issues; but I've ignored them already. I’ve grown past them. Then comes career, which I am least worried about because unlike few months back; now I have a goal, a measurable, time bound, meaningful and achievable goal. Relationships came under the issues mentioned above. Health is tip-top except some minor dust allergy symptoms. Family is supportive as always. Money is not a problem. Friends are in plenty, contacts strengthening day by day. But still something seems terribly misplaced. There is a huge vacuum inside which doesn’t let me perform up to my best. Something, that’s holding me back. And I don’t know what this “something” is. There is a certain irritation or frustration regarding something which seeks my attention every time I spend some moments with myself (which I occasionally do).

I am starting to feel better with the sound of keys hitting the base of the keyboard. With every word appearing on-screen there is a hope that no matter how hard that “something” tries to hold me back; I will bounce back. I will make a comeback, that too huge, and very soon. in all aspects of life.

If good times don’t last forever; bad won’t either. It’s all about faith. Hare Krishna :)

Have You Boarded The Right Train

True happiness comes from within, not from outside, it comes not when we achieve something worthy, it comes when we take the right step in the direction of our dreams. Success is a journey not a destination; hence it's not about having achieved your goal, it is about working in the direction of your goal. If you are happy with what your are working on; you can then be certain that you have taken the right path; if you are not happy with your work let me assure you; you have boarded the wrong train. And it will affect your performance in the long run. time is running out; have YOU boarded the right train??...think over it.

Hare Krishna :)

My Favourite Poem

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
