A Will to Survive ….!

-

 

Well , that was me ,  last time we met …!

Back to doing what I do best ….ummmm….ok…..haha ?! ..just a man , and his will to survive !

I keep on doing this..writing ….not losing the grip…ummm…on the dreams of the past..!

Ok…It is merely not to survive….you know ….but to thrive .. and to do so with some passion , compassion , some humor …and yes….a little of some style …!


Life is not to simply exist.. or to survive …but to move ahead ..to go up , to achieve … to conquer ! I am Maharana Pratap !....errrrr…Ok….that’s a bad one …..my bad!  hahahahaha.

Jokes apart !!  yes…it takes a positive thought to survive…and thrive ..!


Adapting to the situations and dedicating to the present moment ….is what I mean to survive….a surrender without giving in…you know !

I always wonder …how I write to inspire ....how I write to motivate ….the big words…the astounding  sentences ….the unbelievable me ……! And then after all these rubbing of the mind ….life says to me ….”buddy ….your bad !”

Dear Life ,

Let me tell you …This is not the will to survive …but the will to prevail !

I look at my scars and see something else…..


For all we know ….our scars show pain and suffering ..!. But if it is there , they also show the will to survive …..right ?

We’ve already gone through hell…. I have…. So , now I give my best shots ….It is not only survival now … it is winning !

Ummmmm…….I’ll survive …..somehow ….  I always do !


I know some people ….who are still struggling …. Well… guys…. Let me tell you .. You will survive this too!!


When I started to write …. Never thought ….I’ll survive this far….but now …come to think of it ….I’ve survived a lot back then..….…and I will survive whatever is coming ….

I am not the biggest …. And I am not the brightest ….nor I am the best .,…But I am quick to adapt ….hang on …. I’ll survive ….!


I know …. It gets a lot boring …when you get the same word back to back ….. Then you start hating the word ……you stop reading ….you look for other options….but , after reading this article ….. I’m sure you’ll survive …! Hahahahaha

 

“ It’s about doing whatever it takes , and those with the biggest heart will win .”

-Bear Grylls

And…by the way …..Survival depends on what you do…not what you think !


A friend , met me lately ……remorse and forlorn … He told me that he was not good at anything ….Well , the discussion ended with him understanding that survival is a talent … and that he had aplenty…!


I balance my survival skills with my wife…..She’s also got some great survival skills …she is street smart  and a fighter herself…!

To hell with sugar and spice ……she’s got the determination , courage , sacrifice , talent and guts …..

Hmmmmmm……..in the end ….what matters is …… I survived ….hahahahahaha !


To end …

Fear is always there ….you know ….but there’s more ….the survival instinct…..and all we have to do is just manage it !

 

Hope to survive ….to tell another tale !

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
