Lecrae quoted- ‘If you live for people’s acceptance, you will die from their rejection ’.

In the midst of pleasing people, we forget the most vital approval, ‘the self-approval’. Everyone’s opinion has become so important but our own. Where did we leave ourselves? Why are we so scared to take a stand? We manipulate our statements to make people comfortable. This can be out of love, respect or mere social convention. But is your behavior being reciprocated by them? We always have answers to this question but we avoid the truth for their false approvals.
It’s not in our hand to change other’s perception but it is definitely in our hand to accept them by being indifferent.
 They have no clue how much they have hurt you but you know how painful it is.So stop pleasing them.  
Jackson Brown says, ‘Don’t forget a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated’. You did your best to make them happy, but if they can’t see your efforts don’t let yourself down. Instead appreciate yourself for trying. Your intentions were pure. We don’t need to be perfect for others but we definitely need to be satisfied with our life. That comes from self-acceptance.
Explore yourself, your choice, your dreams, your goals, your actions and most importantly your soul. To be beautiful is to be you. The day  you find there are no regrets from past and you accept your present with a smile and dignity, is the day when you are prepared to overcome all the consequences of any misfortune. Acceptance is the key to soul’s happiness.   

With unanswered questions,
I lost my destination;
So I chose a road to revive.
Solitude became my companion,
I fell in love with myself,
                Okay, I have learned to survive!

Being Mother...

A woman plays many roles in her life-->daughter,sister,wife and finally a Mother.Being a mother is just like being CEO of some core field company for her.Different kind of women have different approach towards their life.But when it comes to motherhood,what we find is "Unity in Diversity"!Let me authenticate my statement. Very first category is that of my mother.Many fall under this category.She is the one who works before and after her marriage,but once she expects a child,she compromise her career and devotes her complete life being a caretaker of her child.Her love acts as a strength,but emotions are not less than weapon.(personal experience). Another category comes forward is that of working woman.She gains her own position,creates a benchmark and expects her child to cross it.Her emotions and love are not less than that of first category,all she adds to her love is a bit practicality which proves out to be strength for her child but lack of time creates distance ...

Deserving Attention

   Picture Courtesy: Ankita Pal Chhotray Dear Akanksha, Wish you and Aarya a very Happy Birthday! It gives me immense pleasure to publish this blog on your birthday. Arya’s birth on your sixth birthday was the most remarkable coincidence I have witnessed in my life. I feel proud to see you both growing up, especially you getting involved in your parent’s business during your vacation. The best part is you even started enjoying it. Eighteen years back, I remember the only ambition you had was to marry Hritik Roshan. LOL! Time flies! In these many years, we have evolved from neighbors to friends or let’s keep it simple ‘Soul Sisters’. The foundation of our relation is the ease to be able to communicate our views and perspectives to each other. We have the ability to discuss and provide sufficient information. And when I say we discuss, we don’t just talk but try to understand each other as well. Now that’s what I call ‘being friends’. Since you will be a grad...
