Watching the Republic Day Parade?

So tomorrow is India's 66th Republic Day. 66 years since the Constitution of India came into life. Cool, isn't it. I am a little ashamed to say that I have not even once watched the Republic Day Parade in the past 10 years. I've always been caught up with studies or something else. And I know I am not the only one. 

We just let our routine and daily stresses take over our lives. Never finding the time to think about our nation, unless there is a media hype. That is just the way we roll nowadays. No time for our country, no time for health, no time for family, no time for ourselves, just no time. 
Sad.
This time, try to make some time to enjoy the Republic Day holiday watching the parade with people that matter to you.
I know I'm going to. Plus for the first time in history, a US president (Barack Obama) is going to be chief guest at the parade, Prime minister Modi will be giving his speech, 'Naari Shakti' is the theme!

Some day I hope to watch it live. Until then, here is where you can watch it online (live streaming)-

Being Human

After having a fairly tumultuous 2014, I realized what a crazy adventure life can be. It got me thinking. There are so many beautiful living creatures on this mad planet. What makes humans so special? What is BEING HUMAN?

We can laugh, appreciate, love, be wise. We understand time. We have awareness of death. We have self consciousness, a sense of morality. We truly are unique beings. Each one of us special. After all, all of us beat the competition of millions to come into existence. I assume you know that only sperm fertilizes a female egg. Point being, YOU ARE SPECIAL. You kind of have a responsibility to live a wonderful, meaningful existence.

It is essential that we 'grow'. Every mistake you make, every emotion you feel, every experience you have, every struggle and challenge, makes you grow. That's how we fulfill the responsibility of being human. Through this blog I hope to contribute to that by sharing my story and I hoping to hear some of yours.

THE FIGHTER

They are all over the place aren't they. Those people who have their life 'set'. It seems like they have everything that you need, right?!!

And you're thinking, "Why the fuck am I not among them? I put in just as much hard work as they did. I have it in me. I can do it. And I tried so hard. Then why?! Why? Why? Why? Why did I not get 'the rank'?"

I am not here to bash the winners. I am here to get into the psyche of the, so called, 'loser'.
No, I won't call you a loser. You are a FIGHTER! Yes! A fighter!

So read this my 'fighter'-

Life is not fair. SHIT HAPPENS. Freaking deal with it! Don't sit there and cry like a baby.
You know what you want, right?

Then go after it!!!! Do NOT let anything stop you. You are unstoppable.
You may not have it now. But one day you will.
Believe it or not, the harder your journey, the stronger you will be. If you don't struggle in life, if you get it easy, if you give up right now -
then you will remain a pussy cat. You will never be a tiger. You will never get your dreams. You will never realize your potential.
So don't compromise. Don't give up. Get your act together. And go for what you want. Keep going.
