The resolution sandcastle!

1st January 2015

Hello everyone.
Wishing all of you a very happy new year, may this year be full of euphoria for every one!
So it is the first day of the year and a lot of people are excited for it! I'm sure a lot of people are asleep right now, but that's okay, I hope they've had a fun last night. So new year, new resolution. This is a thing I've been observing since childhood. I remember making some of my own, but also remember myself being unable to achieve any of them. Today I asked a bunch of people what shall be their new years resolution? And few of the responses were very interesting. The first person I asked, his response was "I'll work harder to get promoted to a senior level at work!" Okay not a bad resolution, but this is more of a short term goal than a resolution, and I was wondering whether will that even give him some eternal happiness? Still I'd wish you luck and may you get promoted if that's all you want this year. Another friend of mine who's response to my question was, "31st of December I'm going to have my last alcohol, I'll go clean from the 1st of January!" Well my friend, as they say- "the damage is already done!" Why leave now? Although better late than never, and I really hope you achieve it! The third person I asked about his new years resolution, his response was a bombshell. "I will stop fighting with my girlfriend from the 1st of January!" Well, no comments on that one! Wish you luck my friend!
What is a new year resolution? I've never believed in a new years resolution. Resolutions are just like sandcastles. Highly fragile, even the slightest blow of wind will break it down. This blow of wind can be the slightest possible distraction, de motivation or discouragement. You decide not to have alcohol in 2016, well someone might offer you a little, and then you might tell yourself, just one won't do any harm, and there you go! The wind blew away your sandcastle! You won't fight with your girlfriend? That can't be a new year resolution! That has to be an eternal determination, and what if she's wrong and you're right, will you remain quiet? Oh that rhymed!! Anyways, the only message I wanted to convey is, stop making resolutions, stop speaking about what you'll do. Make determinations not just for this year, but for the rest of your life. Make castles of bricks instead of sand.
Once again wishing all of you a very happy new year. Make the best out of 2016.

A little perspective!

31st December 2015

Good morning everyone.
So its the last day of the year 2015, I fall prey to a huge dilemma every year when I observe the adrenaline in so many people. I never understood how can the last day of the previous year be more exciting than the first day of a new year? So many people asked me what is your plan for the 31st of December? Well, I came across no one who asked me what is your plan for the 1st of January? Yes although I don't believe in concepts like 'fresh start', etc., but the first day of the new year is just a reminder that a small part of your life has become your past, an unalterable past. The first day of the new year can be a reminder that we can take some more efforts to become a better version of ourself. Yes celebrating something is no harm, 31st December celebrations are amazing. Parties, DJ music, Dance, it's euphoric. But let's not forget the better part of the next day, where so many people do not even get to see the morning due to the last night hangover.
So friends this 31st of December, you needn't make any new year resolution, no determination, just make sure you set an alarm, wake up and see the morning of the very first day of new year, year 2016. Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous new year! :)

Musical evenings!

30th December 2015

So this week, few of my musician friends decided to meet in the office and jam (practice music).
This was one good experience.
To back things up a little, I have been working with this organisation, which is a great platform for musicians to derive productivity out of their knowledge. This organisation (Spardha) has given me a much wider exposure to the real world as a beginner musician. This organisation has been into music training and also commercial trademark for small scale music concerts.
So we practiced a few songs today as well as a few days in the previous week for our upcoming event on the 31st evening. Its a small concert with some light music. More on that later.
Thanks for reading.
