Snippets of the mind by Gagansvaid

16. You could feel lost as much as you feel found like in life a new awakening seeps in. There is not much to think than responding to the situations around. Some people see challenging phases at a young point in life while others see these phases later on! Some achieve greater things at an early age while others see struggles before settling. Everyone takes one's time in short, and that is the spirit. They say that "believe in the process, it will all be alright." Then there is a thing about belief. Every person needs to believe in the potential of one's dreams, to see things happening likewise. Another inspiring thought goes like this, "if there is a will, there is a way." There could be instances that you don't reach those heights where you had been aspiring to reach, but that doesn't mean that you lose hopes. Getting to the top of your aspirations should not be how success be defined. The process is a beautiful thing, so it should be lived w...

14. The father waited for his son to come and sit next to him, so they could interact about life ahead of him; the son a great achiever didn't have time for his father, since he was busy updating his bio on facebook, to tell his friends what he was doing. His virtual friends congratulated him, and he spent time in thanking them for days; only to take away that moment of glitter and the proud feeling from his father, on his son's achievement. A relation was at one place built  with the world, whereas a relation that should have meant the world stood secondary to the son. "The times have changed, or have we changed them for ourselves?" Something to wonder and think about for oneself, isn't it? ‪#‎ artistaddress‬ Snippets of the Mind, Mindful Stories To read all the Snippets, click  here

13. Facing Troubles to Breathe Easy! Every day is a new date with struggle. Every afternoon, every evening, every night—one word, struggle, struggle, struggle. This is what penetrates, this is what remains; struggle is in every lane.  By writing about it what do I want to show? That I am afraid, or am I not able to cope up with the times or simply, is my way of working incorrect that I am trying to pace up things, and am not able to do what I am trying to, or that it is taking time? What is it that prompts me use this sort of speech in this very writeup?  I have asked many questions and think that it is the time to answer them for me, for no one can do it better for me than me, myself. I write it because I find peace writing about it. It is not only to add another blogpost to my blog, it is also to add one experience that I am living at the moment. For I believe in writing things because they would make me happier to read days later, when I am well off in one way or the...

"Connection bhi na badi kamaal ki cheejh hai.., " this dialogue captures you in its vibrance and vivacity. It is indeed true that it is connection only that makes you go back to watch the film of your favourite actor, the Baadshah of Bollywood. The film is moreover based on a fan of the superstar, enacted by him only.  "Jabra Fan", the song which hit the blockbusters prepared the fans to eye towards the releasing date and finally the date is here. "A date with your star" , would not be wrong to call this day. After looking at the fan following of Shahrukh Khan, it can be understood that the release date of the film actually means a lot to his diehard fans. When I use the word "diehard" for his fans, I mean it in a way that these fans have stood by him through thick and thin. Whether his films hit the blockbuster figures to a high or didn't win many hearts, his fans were always there as his greatest support system.  Although it came a...

12. Many sides within of you lie unknown to the world. As much as you hide yourself, that something unknown that lies in your heart pinches you a little, and a little more. You feel combustion in your heart, your mind begins to boil like iron—then finally you say it all. Now you are free, you are calm, once you have let it all out, that you have released finally what otherwise created problems for you.  In saying the truth maybe you shall lose some people you thought would always understand you, but you came out honestly at last. You said all that lied in your heart, you are free as wind is with no strings attached. The people who were to stay, are still there while others have left behind or their own ways.  You are smiling now, knowing that you can be who you are with your people and that there is nothing to worry; you are home with yourself, and yes your people who understand you, would never leave your side. They shall guide you, and never let you become who yo...

11. Being there, not being there, you are still there. All lies in your mind, what you want to see, that you see. ‪#‎ presence‬   ‪#‎ artistaddress‬ ———— To read all the Snippets, click  here

10. (Meeting Yourself) "Those eyes looked up at me once, those eyes no longer look up at me now. Those eyes are experienced now." Life comes to all of us in different volumes. We are never so easy to be read, we are deep or at least I am deep. Some people would be straight forward in their interaction with others but I do feel that even they would be lost in their understanding of life. I am sure even they would be left to ponder over who they really are and what defines their identities. For as much as they try to be clear, they face the reality of the world which isn't always familiar to their conscience. They are not the God's that they can predict the world or their destinies, they have to live up life, and write their own stories. Hard work is required, struggle is required and the willingness to accept and work the challenges is very much required, to knit our stories.  "To be who you dream to be, you have to knit your world that shall take y...

I think I had known you, Even before I heard your voice  for the first time- I think I had seen you When I say, I had seen you- I never mean that I saw your face, What I mean is, that I felt  your touch, in the pearls of wisdom which generated in my heart, whenever I sat alone or was lost, I found you sitting next to me. In my good times- you were my companion, In my bad times- you were my optimism, For, companions can often support us in following a wrong path- where we are treading, but optimism would connect us, to humanity. I had to figure out right or wrong, I had to figure out who I was? And your presence gave me all answers, helping me form a bond with you, a bond that is faceless,  yet has the most breath-taking persona, a face I try to find through the light and resonance of the winds, in this fast moving world, I long to meet you, and tell you that I respect you the most; and searching...

7. There are those moments in life when I want things to fix but it appears that things are immovable. I feel lost, I feel like I am powerless; devoid of any energy to go beyond. There is a lot of work that I long to do; there is a lot to perform, to achieve in life. So much so that the thirst or call it passion does  not disappear into anywhere. It just comes up, it just makes me stronger but guess what I lose on the part of life where I have to actually move things. At the same point, it is not that I am unsuccessful fully—all that happens is, that somewhere or the other I am adding to the river, droplets of my toil. This toil is towards my dream, a dream that I see and have been seeing for a long-long time. For me people become barriers and they appear immovable to me—but that is how life is I feel. Maybe they are the forces who make this life worthwhile. They are the ones who bring as much energy to me, as much strength to me—that later on in life I would be prepared to st...

6. There are commitments in life, and then there is commitment in different forms. One is the commitment that we make in personal life, and one if the commitment which we make in the professional life. In my view there needs to be a difference between the two and if two friends are working together, then they need to follow a different relationship at the work-front.  The next important topic I want to talk about in my article is, values. I think values can't be taught but should be felt. I feel, values need to be there in the real sense of the term; for the goodness and wellness of this world. I feel so! UNDERSTANDING. There needs to be that space within our hearts to accept the other person as one is. Not to completely let that person over rule you, but while you give that space to breathe to the other person, that person should also provide you with that space. It has to be a mutual thing and if it is not, then there is nothing happening right between you. There ha...

5. I have always been inspired by my mother. In childhood the way she started her day, with preparing breakfast for me and lunch for school. The way she taught me late nights, prepared meals for me with all her love and heart. I have always been so much inspired by her.  Then I grew up, from school to college and there came a point in life when I started disagreeing with her. Her ideas about my life and my ideas for my life clashed many a times, but she always found happiness in my happiness. Although she had many dreams for me, but I couldn't stand up to her expectations. Still she never left my side.  When I look at this bond between me and my mother I thank God with all my heart for giving me such a close friend in my mother who could play both the roles perfectly. Like mothers are and we have seen in films or real life—the best film, we can see how a mother can sense what is cooking in her child's mind instantly. Now that child grows up into a man like me, throu...

4. Today when we are no longer in a relationship of love, we are actually in a relationship of love. Breaking the ties of being considered lovers, we tie a knot of being considered lovers. We tried to understand what we meant to each other, and finally in this journey I can say that we have found our place in each other's life. Friendship was a word over which I always pondered, but with you in these last two years I have felt it, I have lived it and yes I have understood what it means.  A wonderful feeling which gives rise to a craving for each other. A craving to see the sunshine in each other's eyes, to feel the warmth of friendship in your presence. I couldn't have asked for more in this college life, than a friend in you. The present gives me an enriching feeling to be proud of my luck, which brought us close.  Starting from the time when you made me realise what it was to love, to the time you made me realise what it was to be friends. I had been a wanderer sea...

3. Be those the  passages of th e heart or be those the rhyming scales. Altogether knitted together I had my soul asking me several questions. But matter of factly, the soul was questioning itself. So it had to answer itself as well. The difference of my soul and the 'me' had to be sorted out. Or moreover why was it, that I was trying to mark the difference between the two if both meant one only, that was  'myself' . My soul and 'me' questioned their individual identities and then agreed on being just 'myself'. Nothing superior or inferior when life is like a boat while I sail in it incessantly. I sail in my thoughts, in my reactions, my reflections over different issues, concerns which form their presence around me. The questions I discussed about already so far, are dealing with my past, present and my future.  In order to find their answers I hit many junctions, and the hunger doesn't descend but only perpetuate and grow. In findi...

1. Who are you what defines your identity , is one such question that I have been asking myself for a long time over and over again. I like to dance on my own tunes, I don't expect an audience to see my dance, for it is what I do for myself. I like to sing, although I wouldn't ask for an audience to listen to my songs. I want to write, and this time I want an audience that talks to me. For the many roads that I followed in my life, at the end it was writing only that took away my heart. This is a field where I do not compare myself with anyone else, because like in arts—everyone has one's different artistic approach to go about understanding the subject one is working on, given one takes that field seriously. In dance also, or in any form of art this can come into view. There are competitions to find out the best competent out of a group of artists. There is nothing wrong in that I feel. For winning or losing doesn't make us better or worse. What it does is to for ...

Right from the very beginning in life, one knows that life is not to be led doing nothing. There is a lot one has to do, in order to live it in a mannered way. But yet again, what 'manners' are according to me  'good manners' might differ from the thinking of different individuals. From my point of view 'good manners' would be to stay in harmony, and to keep on finding whatever you think connects and clicks to you the most—in terms of your goals. This has to be a journey of innate self discovery where you may find obstacles from point to point; but that does not limit your potential, rather strengthens you on the other hand. By 'good manners' I also mean, being an ethical citizen, and abiding by the moral duties which you should abide by being a citizen, or simply for humanity. I mean to comment on your overall wellness, which also says that, 'you should not drink and drive' and you keep yourself in limits and be acceptable in the society. The...
