The time I discovered I could do something I had been afraid of doing before.

   An ancient legend says that nobody comes out of the womb of the mother into this world all prepared.This world,thus,is a ground to learn and explore.Some are quick learners while others are slow and thus lag behind.The latter goes for me.I feel I am not among those who get the job done in the first go.That is why,I botch up every task.
  Apart from all of my other weak areas,everybody perceives me as a total bloke when it comes to public speaking.Adrenaline comes out every time in such an exorbitant amount that I couldn't handle the situation and in the midst of the chills and stammers caused,my speech gets screwed.My colleagues used to pester me a lot.I never showed any feelings of hatred neither did they show any sign of remorse.But,deep down,I detested them.Their abilities of speaking confidently made me invidious.I couldn't help it.I could sense the schadenfreude among everybody.
   However,these days passed somehow.I didn't hold onto the past and had moved on.I guess that is why I finally overcame my fear of public speaking.I was leaving my school.Actually,my class was to be given farewell that year,as we had to join college,and leave the school.The night of the farewell came.Everybody was clad in formal attire,including myself.Tuxedos and formal dresses have always been the vogue of every farewell party.The coiffures all around were unique and eye-catching.The series of events went by quite smoothly.The dance part was so overwhelming that I was taken away by its effects.I danced like anything.It was somewhat involuntary.

   It made me feel strange but free.This feeling prolonged so much so,that I realized I had given a whole two minute long speech.I just couldn't believe that I didn't bungle this time.Those two minutes meant everything to me.They were my life-changers.I had finally got a voice,worth using.It redounded to my personality.

   It was a fremd day for me.I had done what I feared once.Now I could face the supercilious people who used to laugh at me.I had been waddling in a quagmire of troubles caused due to this fear which I overcame and thus,I finally came out of it.My time at my alma mater was more of a slog.I managed not to give up and thus I finally succeeded in overcoming what I feared to do the most.

Life Is Impermanent

Life – an impermanent amalgam of joy, pain, grievances, tragedies, achievements, moments of pride, ups and downs, rise and fall of people, things and times. We develop different perceptions about life along the journey ourselves, learning from our experiences along the way. Life is beautiful. Life is hard. Life can be a torture for someone. Not everyone has the same fate and not everyone is positive about their future. Our hopes are fragile, they can be easily lost by incidents and constant setbacks if one is not strong. If we accept that life is impermanent and that nothing lasts forever. Happiness doesn't last forever. People and possessions come and go like wind at times. As a famous quote by Buddha, "Nothing is forever, except change." Change is inevitable. Life is ever-changing. QuoteFancy We can't hold onto everything that is good. Not even on the things that aren't good, because there's no guarantee if they'll last or not. So, be content

15 Worst Advice You May Come Across

You must have come across a lot of people who would’ve given you free advice at some point in your life, I’m sure. “Go for that….no, don’t go for that.” And, similar comments and advice that come in like they are the ones in control of your life. They feel as if they know a lot as of experience and that we should listen in order to succeed. Well, in reality, not all of the pieces of advice that people receive are good. They are not all true. No, they are not. I have come across bad advice like most of you too, realizing it too late. I feel it’s your life and your instincts, you decide what YOU are going to make of it. Some of the worst advice that I have heard from my peers and people around me, I am going to mention below. 1. Only hang out with the like-minded people. Having like-minded people around would be a good influence. I don’t think so. Life doesn’t work that way always. Even, the people you understand the most can mislead you or misguide you. On t

Simple Indian Recipes are delicious.

Indian food, with its hodgepodge of ingredients and intoxicating aromas, is coveted around the world. The labour-intensive cuisine and its mix of spices is more often than not a revelation for those who sit down to eat it for the first time. Heavy doses of cardamom, cayenne, tamarind and other flavours can overwhelm an unfamiliar palate. Together, they help form the pillars of what tastes so good to so many people. But behind the appeal of Indian food — what makes it so novel and so delicious — is also a stranger and subtler truth. Some researchers have discovered perhaps the key reason why Indian food tastes so unique: It does something radical with flavours, something very different from the rest of the cuisines. The unique makeup of Indian cuisine can be seen in some dishes more than others, and it seems to be tied to the use of specific ingredients. Spices usually indicate dishes with flavours that have no chemical common ground. More specifically, many Indian recipes contain cay
