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.

People over places

I think touching lives is better than traveling to new places.

I have always preferred people over places. And my last trip to Kerala was all about people, some known, some unknown, and most close to my heart.

It is difficult to write how can we connect with people so easily without even knowing them since long and such is the bond with many of my blogger friends like Nimitha and KP and Nisha and Sri di.

The bond is so strong that even our families know one another and we have met each other’s parents. That is the next level. Maybe it is all about human frequency and the correct level of kindness and innocence that bond us all.

Irrespective of what it may be, I am thankful for all the respect and support and smiles given to me whenever I meet such people and the heart touching people of Kerala knows all about it.

Here are some of the pics —

This was the 1st pic at 8 AM and no, that is not alcohol 😀

 

Smiles at Lulu Mall 😀

One of the reasons to go to Kerala was to hold this kiddo ❤

Achan, a great gentleman ❤

Notice the jasmine flowers 😀

KD and others 😀

people can sue me for posting this because I do not know most of them but still, it was fun to attend a wedding

Trust me, trusting people over places or process is the best decision of my life.

P.S.: I love people but then they are the ones who can’t give rest to others so we’re all screwed 😀 I will be going home next week, so, have fun at your respective homes and let me do dandia 😛 And, remember my YouTube channel, Darshith Badiyani, please do the honors 😀

 

The difference in Pizza toppings

Yo! How are you?

You like pizza? You love pizza? Pizza is love ❤️

So ever notice that the base/size of the pizza is the same and based on the different toppings, the price of the pizza varies. This is not something new. It’s an old theory.

Just like the vessel and the contents in it. Usually, we fall for the vessel but the content is important. Based on the best toppings, the price is more. Similarly, based on the pure and positive content of our thoughts, satisfaction in life is more.

So, what you waiting for? Go and hog your favorite pizza but remember to add good, positive, creative, classy content in your thoughts too.

Bbye for now! Enjoy the fooking weekend 😎

P.S.: This post’s song is Connection by One Republic and what are your plans for the weekend? New videos coming soon in the YouTube channel so do check it out @ Darshith Badiyani. Pic credits to taste.com.au

The epitome of care

She is love

She is caring

She is God

Only in the visible form

We all have felt

The care she showers on us

My Mom is sick

Suffering from fever

And I, the irresponsible child,

Am at work

And I called her now

To know How is she

And while putting the phone down

She said, “Khayal rakhna”

And I was all stunned

She’s ill

She has a fever

She is weak now

And still, she says to me

Take care

And I wanted to rush to her

And go home

And give her a hug

 

P.S.: This was a post which I found in my draft dated 28th Jan 2016. It’s been more than 2 and a half years that I did not post it. But, I wanted to post it because I can still feel the rush of emotions whenever someone close to me is sick or hurt and I am helpless to do anything worthy for them. Hope things are fine with everyone. See you! This post’s song is Come Alive again by Pacman. For motivational videos, check out my YouTube channel, Darshith Badiyani(new videos coming soon). And, I will be going to home in October so then I can hug my Mother India 😀

Own your life

Yo!

I am back again! How are you guys? Watching FIFA WC 2018? If yes, which team are you supporting? Please tell Germany! 😀

There are life lessons in every simple thing. It’s on us to recognize and work on it.

For example, I support Germany in football and they lost their 1st game against Mexico. There are many friends and people who went ahead and criticized them. It is fine because they played poorly. But then, they are also human beings and once in a while, they cannot meet our expectations. Accept it! Own it!

Similarly, we suffer many failures in our lives, loss of dear ones, investing our time and energy in wrong places and wrong people, and then when we know it is not good, we become harsh on ourselves and don’t accept or own them. We don’t tell people that we did something wrong. We ignore those things.

But, if there is something good, like a good TV series recommendation, or a good book, we own it saying we recommended it.

So, if we learn to own the good, the bad, and the ugly things of OUR OWN life, then things would become better.

I would have loved to make a vlog and share along with this but I don’t know why I stopped making vlogs 😀 Trust me, I am going to make vlogs again, soon!

P.S.: Germany is out of FIFA WC 2018 because they played poor but they will be back just like previous times and I root for them. I trust them just like I trust myself.  Yo! Own your life and your values. Follow my YouTube channel, Darshith Badiyani, for motivation videos, which are definitely already there and coming soon in the future. Happy weekend! Half of 2018 is almost done 😛

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:

Sacred

Yo!

What is sacred to you? I read this word in HPMOR recently and it kind of stuck with me. I love this word.

I have been going around asking my friends what they deem sacred and it came as a surprise to me that people were astonished and couldn’t think of things on hearing that word. It saddens me 😦

Now, if I take it on me to come up with things which pop into my mind when I think of the word SACRED then I will also be surprised myself. But on further thinking, I can think of READING A MEANINGFUL LINE/PARAGRAPH IN A BOOK tops the list ❤

Lately, I read STUPIDITY IS DOING THE SAME THING AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT and I was left aghast at how perfectly it was written.

I feel sad that we have lost touch with our soul. I fell sad that we don’t know WHO WE ARE? I feel sad that we end up all our life running after things that won’t matter ever. I feel sad that temporary pleasure is all that matters to us. I feel sad just because I haven’t felt sad for a long time. I feel sad because feeling sad is all I can do as of now.

But what can we do? What can I do? I am sad and devastated. But then a ray of hope comes thinking about those times when many of my friends asked me WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE? WHY DO OUR SOUL CHANGES BODIES EVEN AFTER DEATH BUT ITSELF DOESN’T DIE? WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE LOVE TEMPORARY PLEASURE MORE? and I feel happy because we ask the right question. Above are the right questions. I admit that I don’t have answers to it. I admit that most answers won’t make me feel satisfied. I admit that I am happy that the questions are correct and someday we’ll get the correct answers.

It might be so that the time will be gone and it’ll be late. That’s okay, but, we would have definitely reached our destination even being late. It’s all about timing, I understand, but there’s no roadmap, no help, no guidance, no successful history, and we discover successfully WHO WE ARE? WHAT HAPPINESS MEANS TO US? WHAT IS URGENT AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION? If we discover some of these, we’re the winners, maybe LATE WINNERS, but still smiling ❤

P.S.: As always, I don’t think my post makes sense much but such confused is my way of thinking now. To clear it all, to become #sacred again, I am going for a trek this weekend to Kodachadri, Shimoga. Will post the pics ❤ If you have not already, do subscribe to my YouTube channel, Darshith Badiyani.

POV!

How was the weekend?

For us, it was a long weekend because of Diwali. But as always, the weekends rushes by at the speed of light and the weekdays drags itself at the speed of a snail.

We’re back again in our respective cubicles, doing our respective work, savoring our respective favorite coffee in our respective mugs 😀

So, as we’re talking so much about PERSPECTIVE, let’s talk in details.

We all have our respective perspective of Life 😉 As Dirish says, “We all have our own A take on Life” and that’s true!

Since last many a weeks, I have been learning things. Things related to perspective by talking to more people, by listening to them, by trying to see from their POV. It is helping a bit but it’s difficult to think from their perspective.

I think all my life(which is mere 26 years), I have been trying to look at everything from my perspective and never think about the other person. It may be because of several reasons. No one pointed this out to me earlier, hence I didn’t realize it. Now as I am being questioned, I am feeling cornered that how can anything be wrong when the perspective is correct?

POVs are a great way to express our thoughts and again a great way to get out of any situation, but when we realize that our perspective has been defeated and that other’s perspective is more purposeful and right, then what do we do?

That’s what I am going through. I am not saying, I am wrong or I am right. I am just saying that I don’t see my POV as the BEST anymore and that I have to consider other’s perspective too.

There’s a quote by someone very talented, “We judge those whom we don’t know, and if we don’t know them, why do we have to judge them?” 😀

I don’t know why there is so much of confusion within me nowadays that it’s started to make kind of a mess. I sincerely feel like the above quote by Mr. Lennon ❤ I love that guy and his words and his songs. This quote, in particular, is close to me. I feel like a loser and God, all at the same time 😀

Hope I can sort things out sooner rather than later. I think traveling will help me and I am doing that now on a regular basis. If any of my friends are available then with them or else I love to travel solo too ❤ What are your preferences while traveling? You like to pack everything with you or you keep it light? Do you call yourself a traveler or a tourist?

P.S.: I was reading one of the previous blogs of mine called REINS and I loved it. I loved the flow with which it was written. The connection, the beauty. Now when I sit to write, it’s all confusion and haphazard and not pleasing. Recently I am listening to an old favorite song Bubblin by Blue.

Let there be everything

Yo!

In this beautiful month of September

Let there be work

Let there be play

Let there be smiles

Let there be satisfaction

Let there be humor

Let there be gifts

Let there be music

Let there be books

Let there be laughter

Let there be hugs

Let there be travel

Let there be festive

Let there be silence

Let there be ignorance

Let there be judgment

Let there be anger

Let there be sleep

Let there be rest

Let there be excitement

Let there be life

Let there be you

Let there be me

Let there be us ❤

P.S.: This is for each individual out there who lives in routine facing some of all these things. Let there be love. I am becoming a fan of this song of Bruno Mars named That’s what I like.  Feel free to check out my motivational/travel videos @ Darshith Badiyani.

 

Be brave, be selfish, be you!

Yo!
Me!
I am me!
Meet me!
Greet me!
I am a speck of dust
Yet, I am important
You know why?
Because I am alive
Because I exist
I breathe
I laugh
I smile
I cry
I express
I feel
It’s all important
For me because
That’s what makes me who I am
And I am awesome!
Got any doubts?
Please, don’t ask!
Do I care?
Yeah, damn, I don’t!
I love vulgar words
I love to express myself
I love to show who I am actually
I care for you
I like and love you
But you’re never a priority
Because my priority is me
It was difficult to digest it
Learn it
And, thankfully, I did!
I am everything, I know it!
I am grateful for all the things
The sun, the sky, the moon,
the flowers, people, family,
smiles here and smiles there,
hugs, stolen kisses, winks
All the things
But, all of those stop existing
If I stop to exist
If I don’t take care of myself
If I am not my own priority
I am grateful for these selfish thoughts
It has made me happy
It has given me time to invest on things I love
I am happy to be selfish if that makes me happy
Because smiles here, on my face, are important
So are yours, but first,
smiles here and then smiles there
If it is smiles there first,
then for you, it is too,
smiles here and smiles there,
So always the first person,
I, me, myself
I am grateful for such happy times

Be brave, be selfish, be you!

 

Last weekend I went on a #soloTrek to Shivagange and I loved it. You can tell I am selfish. The hell I care. I love to spend time with myself. If you don’t love/like to be alone, trust me, you’re boring. Start making your life an adventure. Do things you fear. I feared to go on a solo trek, I did it. I conquered it. I was 2640.3 feet above the ground, bare foot, scared, but moving forward. I have shared pics and videos of the place. Feel free to go to the place, if you’re near by Bangalore.

P.S.: One of the new songs which I like to listen to is What lovers do by Maroon5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The road less travelled

The peak to be conquered

The uphill

The caretaker

The view!
