A beautiful piece contributed by a fellow traveller, Tushar

Dare to believe there's song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe

Too many people hold themselves back
when they should be reaching out
Too many people on the wrong track
Led astray by a seed of doubt
We don't have to live that way
the sun is up on a brand new day

Dare to believe there's a song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe

Too many people say its alright
Never see a need to change
Too many people hiding their light
Underneath a cloud of pain
We don't have to bow our heads
Lift them up sing for joy instead

Dare to believe there's song in your heart
Dare to believe in your dreams
Nothing can stop you from playing your part
As long as you dare to believe.

Conversations with myself...

The journey that we all thought would never be the same...or was OVER... We were so busy believing in others....believing the final verdict lies in others hands... Confusing the path to our own happiness which to us seems so hazy and unpredictable...!





Conversations.......

I Stumbled upon 2 beautiful people who asked me to attend "conversations with myself"....had no clue what it was going to be about....went there with an open mind hoping to get undoubted clarity on some unanswered questions in my mind.... But its not about getting answers or solutions.....I would say its about finding yourself, in the world where others make you dance according to their beats....which in due course my friend makes you lose your sense of rhythm and 'your' love for dancing!....

"Conversations" is more to envision why you chose to dance in the first place... :)... and to understand that dancing to your own beats makes you most happy.


Understanding who I am and not letting anyone defy the real I is a challenge that we all face....but again the will to fight and win that fight is all upto "I".... I have my own ways to battle the world and hence no one can do it better for me...


We all have the answers .... I had the answers, but i could not come to terms wi
th them...i needed a push and various life experiences that made me sit back and think "shit aint the only one in the world that needed that push!" ..





"Exp
osing" yourself to a great number of feelings, experiences and adventure, may shape a path that you never knew existed...for yourself...or for another :)...

More than often, things dont go according to plan. From a delayed flight which upsets an entire schedule to life plans going awry. Most of the times these things happen because of circumstances beyond our control.

The issue is not that we cannot control the circumstances. The issue is how we respond to those circumstances. Helplessness? anger? despair? But how are these emotional states going to change anything? Those circumstances will happen anyway.

I have discovered a way to deal with such situations. When ever something like this happens, I force myself to step away from the situation and try and look at things very objectively. The problem is already known... Can I now look at the possible solutions? In some cases I do find solutions. In others where no solutions are in sight, like in the case of a delayed flight, I find it much better to just accept the situation. I cant fight it, and its useless to even try.

But there have been a few occasions, when something beautiful has happened. Suddenly a third option, completely independant of the situation crops us. And that experience has become a cherished memory.
