The 'typical illusion'

-
About an year back one of my doctor clearly explained a known fact to me stating the proverb 'The grass is always greener on the other side' which means the other circumstances seem more desirable than one's own but in reality are often not.

 At that point I was not ready to accept the fact that someone else's state of life maybe more disturbing than mine. I was just not ready to see that there is something that I do have which another person needs. I just saw the downside of my own life and kept on comparing my life to someone who has everything which I never actually needed in the first place and ignored the fact that there might be something that is missing in their lives too.

 Even after he tried his best to make me understand, I was just too adamant to even take his words and think over it once. As time passed by, I started seeing the difference in everyone's lives. At that moment, the first thing that hit my mind was the proverb he stated. It turned out to be so true that at one point I saw others whom I knew were also thinking in the same way that someone else's life or something they're studying or what they have is so much better as they just see their life with just their naked eye and never really saw their sufferings.

 So I learnt at that point that, we all see one thing and say 'I'm suffering the most' or 'his/her life is the best' these are the most common things I get to hear every now and then. If for once we'd open our eyes and really see what is the reality, we would actually be happy seeing that there is something which we have if not everything. And just assuming that our life is the worst or anything as such is purely wrong when we dig deep and think about it. Even now I do feel that 'the other side is greener' but even then if my side of the garden would be totally shredded, I'd still see atleast a small leaf which would be green.
Try and think of it once. It'll make life easier.!

Why me?

Ever questioned yourself this way? Well, your not the only. To be completely honest, I question myself this in my day today life more often than one can think. People might see me as a very strong person but even the hardest rock too breaks down one or the other time. I've had to see a life where I could keep myself in comparison among people who never questioned this as they did not even have the ability to do so. But they are living just fine even till date. It's never a bad thing to break down or think why wrong things happen only to us. But, do remember its not just you who is questioning yourself, in fact the very person sitting next to you, too is doing so. When life seems difficult and just plain wrong to you, just remember the people who do not have the ability to speak a word and express their pain, people who cannot hear if people are speaking against them, or even the people who cannot see what and what not is happening around them. And trust me once you d...

“To live a life of a designer, one must lose hope of being wrong”

-
  To start with, the basic element required for a designer is to be creative. And produce our output in the most original and eye catchy way.   The dream of a designer is to create meaningful designs that communicate on a visual, intellectual and emotional level.   A life of a designer would definitely be taken as one of the most interesting jobs, compared to the other forms of the work. The more one is trend savvy, the easier it gets to create something completely new.. and easier to catch the attention of new audience. If we take,   Sir Walt Disney for example, he could have had his fears and flaws too. But it did not stop him from creating the first ever cartoon to be made “Mickey Mouse and the Steam Boat”. Because of which, the character Mickey Mouse is still the heartthrob of every child and even adults.  Sir Wa lt Disney too had his doubts where it might not be up to the mark, but it did not stop him, in fact his fear of being wrong was what ...

Tales of tis' girl

We were much younger than 13 when we first hit the Yes! I am of 13 years or elder while signing up for our first profile. Orkut was the first major happening social media site. But in a leap Facebook took over. In a blink of an eye.. How did it all start? Orkut died. Out of nowhere we got so busy with our lives at that point using Facebook was pinned in our minds.  After a few years it started to feel like it was the end of an era. We stopped looking at scrapbooks and started to give thumbs up to peoples posts. Not to forget a double tap to like on Instagram has still been in trend. People are sick of social media. But its a gateway again. I guess in the starting days we missed finding out who has checked our profile recently like we did on Orkut. It's amazing yet strange of how we eventually do move on from one phase to another. For girls like me, it did seem like a good hope tho..
