വിത്ത് (Seed).


We all have studied how trees and plants come to life. The process of germination is not new to us, both seeds of plants and humans go through this phase I feel. You must be wondering how, right? 

Well if you would have noticed, in our lives before the birth of a new version of ourselves or beginning of an idea or a venture we have found ourselves in dark times. Those dark times where we seem lost, suffocated and alone are similar to the dormancy period before the seed starts to sprout or germinate.

From there on, absorption of water, adequate oxygen, warming, sunlight and time are important for the seed to germinate and grow into plants and trees. We humans also need the learnings from those tough experiences we go through because they act as essentials needed to become who we are meant to be, to grow as a person. 

Someone who does not indulge in living and restricts themselves from gaining life experiences does not live life. These people just endure life and try to exist. The ups and downs of life and periods of dormancy are painful and exhausting but that is part of living. Holding yourself back and avoiding painful experiences will stop you from growing into someone you are meant to be. Just like the plant or tree that comes to be, from the seed. 

All sentient beings journey through life to transform into something more than who they were at the beginning of life. So don't hold yourself back, and stagnate, instead continue the journey and look forward to all those dark times and wonders that you are yet to come across. 

Remember,Growing Pains have many gains! 

See you soon! Till then keep growing 🌼...

Kasut (Shoes)

One of the things in my life that I've found interesting are the shoes I wear. The type of footwear that I wear has changed drastically over the last few years. As a kid apart from school shoes and sandals during rainy seasons, I had one pair of ballerinas for special occasions. Growing up the ballerinas were exchanged for heals and wedges.  But recently I've grown found of sneakers or sports shoes. Apart from them it's flat sandals or slippers. You must be wondering why I'm talking about different footwear to you, it's cause they have taught me a lot about myself and life...  I'm one of those people who no matter what type of footwear they buy, except sports shoes, have had shoe bites. And not the pretty ones but the ugly bloody ones. By the end of the week of having worn a new footwear, my feet are covered with cuts and bandages. What this experience has taught me is that when you try to get along with someone new or start a new chapter in your life, the diffe

Ad Movere (Move On).

 People - "It's okay, just leave it and Move on; It is all over now, just move On; What happened is now in the past, let it go and MOVE ON!" It is quite easy to say the words Move on to someone, however the process seems rather difficult.  Imagine yourself dancing in your newly brought or favourite set of clothes, you are dancing around with a glass of red wine in your hand. The ambiance is good, the music is just right and you are moving around sipping your wine, each sip brings you closer to being on cloud nine. Suddenly someone pushes you or because of your butterfingers you spill the red wine on your clothes. You are, now in a sudden state of panic even though the ambiance and music are still the same. You don't know what to do if it's your first time experiencing something like this, those who have experience know that your goal is to try and remove the red wine stains and if possible save your clothes.  The most important thing you should know about red wine

게임 끝 (Game over)

When you hear or read the word "Game Over", what comes to your mind? For me, words like failure, defeat, the end, loss, were the first things that popped up in my head.  That's what it felt like when life gave me a Game Over right before my finals with a fractured knee. It's not like the past few months were sunshine and rainbows. To an already suffocated and distressed me, came this unexpected pause. A pause that was painful and lonely, ruining all the plans I had made. Lying on the bed in frustration, not able to move because of my fractured leg was very frustrating and depressing. Every day, I woke up, the words Game Over would flash in my eyes, reminding me of my defeat. One day, I decided to download a game and distract myself from my misery. I used to love playing Crash Team Racing on PS1 with my brother. I downloaded Kart Rider. It seemed quite captivating and fun in one of the "Going Seventeen" episodes I watched.  The first race I lost, the second r
