The fear of walking in the dark

Yeah, it is dark everywhere
Pitch black
Not another speck
Not a sound
All silent
I can hear my own breath
The inhaling
A pause
The exhaling
This giving me chills
Giving me goosebumps
But still
Here I am
Walking in the dark
Fighting the fear of it
Because that’s how I will be strong
This walk
Will either make me or break me
But I need a change
I need to overcome my fear
And this is how I deal with it
Avoiding it is not my cup of tea
Going headstrong is
And that is what I am doing
Feeling that fear
Claiming it as my own
Taming it
And I am sure
I will see that light
That hope
Which will make me victorious
Which will give me satisfaction
Which will give me strength for
All the next battles
Coming my way
Now, I know the feeling
It is my own
And now I can walk fearlessly in the dark

P.S.: Hope we all can see the hope at the end of our problems. Good day. How are you, people? Today’s song pick is Everytime we touch by Cascada. Next video named FREQUENCIES – Part 1 is out. Hope you can connect to it. Welcome to my YouTube channel, Darshith Badiyani.

Others are important

Do you think

That others are important?

Are we important?

Am I important?

And important how?

And important why?

I cannot motivate myself

I definitely cannot motivate you

How am I going to motivate others?

It’s all a sham!

All bullshit and rubbish

The world doesn’t work like this

The world works? I doubt!

It’s all myth!

The happiness, the sadness, the truth

Only pain is true

We’re here for suffering

All suffer we will

So, when we’re suffering

Instead of WHY ME?

Look around and try to

See the disable people

The poor

The unfortunate

The fools

The lost

And feel  that you’re doing OKAY

You’re not doing AWESOME

You never will

But sometimes DOING OKAY is AWESOME

And maybe

Just maybe

Help those others

And this is how it is

Seek inspiration from others

And give it back

Hence it proves

I am important

You’re important

Others are important

We all are!

Feel important!

P.S.: Just because I don’t like to talk much or love to be with myself or respond to the comments late doesn’t mean I don’t like humans or my life is not going well. I am all fine and I am listening to good, new songs. Latest is Late Goodbye by Poets of the Fall.

Actually, I had made a video on “OTHERS” in July 2016(I am awesome!) and it’s here.

Importance of others:

I am not a blogger :P

It’s a saying that, “IF YOU DO NOT WRITE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR BLOG OR RESOLUTIONS OF THE NEXT YEAR BLOG, YOU ARE NOT A BLOGGER!”

I did that mistake 😀 I wanted to write but it’s not important and hence I ain’t troubling and torturing you with boring and usual stuff. This site is for the thinkers and unusual thoughts 😉

What did you do on New year’s eve? Oops! Happy 2018 to you and everyone you know and don’t know 😉

— I hope to make more videos and become more interesting during this year ❤

— I want to read more books and smile more and behave more and grow more 😉

What are your resolutions? Car? Home? Savings? Good luck!

Can you share some of the easy ways of saving some portion of the salary? Or investing it in anything? Because I have bad at both in 2017 and with 2018 here, I want to learn new things and implement it 🙂

FYI, I don’t get excited that easily and for me, midnight of 1st Jan 2018 was same as any random day. Am I crazy already? Or I am not there yet? 😀

P.S.: Please subscribe to my YouTube channel for travel/motivational videos, Darshith Badiyani ❤ We’ll start 2018 with BELIEVE ME by Fort Minor. A separate vlog and blog coming with title “INTERESTING ME” 😉 Are you excited? 😀

Mistakes and how to analyze them

We all do mistakes and some of us do blunders, including me. But, wise people are those who learn from their mistakes and come out victorious by not doing the same mistake purposely.

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” – Johnny Cash

Wanna know what kind of mistakes I have done?

  • Not listen to my parents in some of the situations, which led to my loss/harm somehow.
  • Not trying to save money even after working for around 3+ years. I should start using a piggy bank.
  • Buying so many books a regular basis(No! This ain’t a mistake), but not able to read all those books is. I cry at the sight of those beautiful creatures sitting there in the cupboard and all I can do is bat my eye.
  • I am a selfish guy. See! There it is out in this universe and I feel relieved. I have been telling this to most of my friends and frankly speaking, I am getting various reactions. Why am I doing this? Because we all are selfish and I want everyone to accept it. Just try to think and assess.

I can keep on going but all I want to let you know that we’re full of mistakes and we gotta accept the fact that we have to keep on evolving to have a good life so that we learn more from our failures and mistakes than our successes.

If my cell phone falls from my hand, it’s because I was careless or because of something other or someone else. If the same is done by someone else, I start thinking that they did knowingly.

So, to tell in short is, my mistakes are granular in size and other’s mistakes are humongous or blunders.

Ideally speaking, this should not be acceptable, but, as humans, we tend to do it. We tend to be impartial and follow favoritism. Now, don’t tell that you’re not your own favorite. I love myself.

So, before getting angry and trying to judge others based on their mistakes, think by being in their shoes and by being rational.

Good luck and do check out my video on the same topic.

P.S.: How are you, people? This is Rains of Castermere from GOT. Just 1 more month for GOT new season ❤ I love B’lore and my life. What about you? Do you love the place where you stay? Do you love how you spend 24 hrs of each day? Please do share your thoughts 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taming my own demons

It’s difficult, just like everything else. Or, it’s easy, just like everything else.

Henry Ford rightly said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.”

With me, it’s the same. And I am sure, with you all, it’s the same too. But my inner heart says that most of us just fail to have a strong will power of DOING IT.  To have a strong will power means to have a strong character. To have a strong character means to have a strong guidance throughout our life(childhood, youth, and next). To have good guidance means to have good people around ourselves everywhere(home, office, friends). So finally, to have good people around ourselves, we ourselves have to be good first. To be a good person, we have to be good at heart.

To become or remain good we have to tame our demons, regularly. It’s similar to an app’s update because new changes and features keep on coming. Or, new bugs like the Ransomware virus ruling the market since 2 days. So, it’s important to evolve and keep on taming our demons to stay good and then only good things will happen.

How to tame our demons? Good that you ask. First, we have to be strong mentally to face them, keeping aside our fear of facing and also the fear of losing. Then, we have to prepare for the face-off. What to do when we actually face our demons? What tricks we can play? Like Mohandas Ranchod Das’ words from the Movie ‘3 idiots’, i.e., ‘Aal izz welll’, we have to keep on reminding ourselves that no matter the outcome, it’s always in our favor or whatever happens, happen for a reason and we just have to try and forget about the outcome.

Taming is not an easy process and a time consuming one too but it definitely gives the expected result if tried regularly and with dedication. Many try to stop smoking or drinking or biting nails(yeah, that’s me!) but we fail the first time. Forget the first time, we fail the 50th time too. I have always failed in the case of biting nails but in the back of my mind, it’s there. I want to get rid of this bad habit and someday I will. When I will be mentally ready and then, I will let you all know about it.

We have to keep on fighting and trying to be better the next day always. That’s the key. One of the other reasons is in the below video. Feel free to have a look.

 

P.S.: Today’s song pick is All my Loving of Paul McCartney. I love this song and this guy and Paul is in Pirates of Carribean 5 movie so it will be interesting. See you soon and how are you all? Miss me? Want me to travel to a place? Want me to gift you a book? Please let me know in the comment section ❤

 

 

Woah! What a weekend!

Once in a while, we should have time for ourselves or in my sister’s words, “pamper yourself.” I did exactly the same by going to Cubbon park alone and read 100+ pages of “The Count of Monte Cristo”. I stress on 100+ pages because I was able to do that after so many months and years. It’s an achievement for me. I also watched the long awaited movie Dead poets society and it was so good. CARPE DIEM is something which I will also have to ingrain in my character. Such a touching movie and on top of that I also watched

I also watched the long awaited movie “Dead poets society” and it was so good. CARPE DIEM is something which I will also have to ingrain in my character. Such a touching movie and on top of that I also watched “Kaabil” with my roommates. It definitely was a great weekend. But hey! Saturday is today and all those things were done by me on Thursday and Friday. You ask didn’t I have

But hey! Today is Saturday and all those things were done by me on Thursday and Friday. You ask didn’t I have office? I had but I took leave, just like that, as ‘me-time’ because it is what life is all about.

You know what my resolution of 2015 was? It was to spend 1 sleepless night per month and I successfully achieved it. But with passage of time, we change, we evolve. Similarly, now I am trying to sleep early and wake up early and sleep proper. I am on track for that but this weekend, I slept late and woke early and I was happy because of the old times sake. I was also able to be the old Darshith I used to be.

I am loving my ‘me-time’ and now I am looking forward to making more videos and read more books and watch more movies. Hope you’re also having a perfect weekend! What’s the definition of a perfect weekend for you? Let me know so that I can also do some of the exciting stuff just like you.

P.S.: Check out my latest video and feel free to share your views. I am in love with Ed Sheeran’s songs Castle on the Hill & Shape of you! ❤

 

 

 

From Blind spot to Yellow spot

We’re born blind

We’re born naive

We’re born innocent

We’re born to be born again

We’re always in God’s blind spot

And there we remain

Until we give our best

Until we try hard

Until we give it all

Then only, slowly and gradually

We start our journey from

The Blind spot to

The yellow spot

And, life starts changing

From good to better to best

The journey ain’t easy

It can be traveled alone

We gotta have faith in us

We gotta have friends to support us

We have to start this journey

Sooner or later

Or regret it forever

And I tell you

Regret ain’t the best of things for you

It’s always working hard

Giving it a shot

Giving it several tries

And succeeding

Because we got one life

Because we gotta prove

Because being in the blind spot

Ain’t so beautiful

So, go ahead and

start your journey to

The Yellow spot

It’s waiting for your presence

P.S.: This topic is so close to me and the idea was given by Aditi. She is a great blogger and has awesome personality. Another blogger, Shweta aka Bollywoodarian, requested a vlog on Insecurites and here it is. Hope the vlog helps everyone in some way ❤

Trust me?

Don’t!

I will betray you

Because my words don’t match my actions

Mark my actions

Ignore my words

That is how I want you to form an image of me

But then it’s totally on you

You can make me look like a villain

Or you can make me The Hero

But I am not for the making

I am bigger than you think

I am better than you know

I am stronger than I show

What you know about me

Is a mere subset of me

Because I also don’t know the whole me

I am exploring myself

And I am simply loving it

Life is not about investing time in others’

But investing in ourselves

And making ourselves better

P.S.: I am back after long. Today’s song pick is Powerful of Ellie Goulding. How are you, folks? Miss me? 😉 Don’t forget to check the latest videos @ Darshith Badiyani
