Why you should have a unique perspective in life

 Most of the time you hear people say the same thing over again and again. "I’m going with the flow! I am doing this because it is woke.(Is it just me or this term is so generic that nobody really knows what it even means anymore) This seems like a legit option because so and so guru or motivational speaker said that I would be successful if I did this. I am going to sleep only 3-4 hours because the great entrepreneurs did that."

Whilst I respect their willingness to hustle and the crazy hours and sacrifices that are needed to make something profitable, what people do not understand is that happiness is subjective and everybody takes a different path to reach it.

Sure you can be motivated by your role models but blindly incorporating it in your lifestyle without thinking whether you really like the change is what many people do. Success is arbitrary, and nothing is or should be greater than your peace of mind. Regret is worse than poison, and those moments that have gone shall never come back again.

Learn to views things from your own perspective whilst you are still young. Obviously, I mean young at heart because there are people who are above the age of 50 who are as energetic as teenagers whilst there are young 20-year-olds who feel like they are stuck in a dead job.

Whilst entitlement is also another issue amongst the young. I shall discuss that in another article. All the greatest artist in the world have made themselves known because they had the guts to view the world from a unique set of eyes, something that most people are hesitant to do. But the best pieces of work are usually created by those who have the guts to follow their own path.

These are the people who are truly in control of their future. These are the people who shape their destiny. These are the people who go on to change the world.

5 must-read books by celebrated author Haruki Murakami

 The Japanese author is known for his fictional realism intertwined with elements of mysticism. A perfect blend of simplistic dialogues and settings combined with philosophical musings makes a Murakami story appealing. His non-linear narrative and ability to attract a large audience have seen him reach the pinnacles of success as an author. Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1949 and attended the Waseda University in Tokyo. Murakami opened a small jazz bar along with his wife post-college, running the place together for seven years. The Japanese author had his eureka moment in 1978 seated in the bleachers of the Jingu stadium while watching the Yakult Swallows vs Hiroshima Carp game. An American baseball player Dave Hilton came to bat, and in that instance, Murakami knew he could write a novel. After that, he wrote his debut novel titled ‘Hear the Wind Sing’ for which he won the Gunzou Literature Prize for budding writers in 1979. That was the start of a stellar writin...

I would break any rule

Rahul got up at 11:30 and the curtains were wide shut which created a very dark surrounding. There was little to no sunlight penetrating the room and covered in a double blanket, leaving the bed seemed like a monumental task in itself. Rahul had seemed so assured about his life just a year ago and on that cold winter morning in December, he seemed as lost as ever, struggling to maintain basic hygiene and good health. He also struggled to get through normal chores. He had just started a new course and taken a sabbatical from his workplace. The year had been tough with heartbreak and funerals at distinct intervals reminding him about the reality that life would end one day. He managed to get up as he boiled a cup of black tea for himself with bloodshot eyes that made him look like a stoner. His mother silently watched as she rolled chapatis to near perfection. She had gotten so good at doing this that she could do it with her eyes closed at the moment. She looked at him and tried to must...

The Seething Depression

Every now and then a door bangs so loudly that the reverberations leave you startled for days on end. The noise may fade out but the fact that someone who is so close to you can express so much rage and anger is scary. It also tells you so much about what you thought about people. People most often do the things they tell others to refrain from. We live in a world that likes to preach secularism but has already constructed divides in its own mind. A race that loves to harp and crib about almost everything under the sun, yet almost instinctively spills lines such as ‘there is no point in cribbing.’ The point is that there is nothing wrong with venting from time to time. To err is only human but to accept your flaws is divine. It gives the other person so much clarity and also equips those upon whom you have the influence to do. People at times can be very careless as to how their actions and not their words can affect the childhood of people, breeding a generation of people who never re...
