Stay busy !

Keep working at something. Staying busy is the key to life and every situation in life. I like the idea of seize the day my friend. In fact, I feel like the more busy you stay with something, the more happier you will be. After all, an idle mind is a devil's workshop. My question is why is it that important to stay busy? 

1. Staying busy makes sure you don't get too many thoughts : When you are busy doing something, you don't get a lot of thoughts about anything in life. Good or bad, ugly or worst, you will be working at something all the time. Even if that's cleaning your room, you will be happy with who you are. 

2. Less chasing, more being yourself: I have faced situations in life, where I have chased girls and the girls just run away when I chase after them. I don't want to get mad about them. I mean it's very natural for a girl to feel unsafe if the guy is too much into her. However, when you are busy doing something, you will not have too much time to think about the girl or the guy. You will just be busy with something or the other. You will say yes to a lot of events. You will meet new friends as well. 

3. Mentally active: Being busy also keeps you mentally active. When you are busy with anything in life, you will be more mentally active. You will live your life fully. You will question certain things and be curious about life. You will have inquisitiveness about life and that's where you really want to be. 

4. Keeps your mind healthy: Mentally active and keeping your mind healthy goes together, but we have to understand that being busy and having a bias for action really helps us in so many different ways than we can imagine. 

Now the next question is how do we really keep ourselves busy? 

1. Plan stuff: It's very important to plan. The more you plan the better. I have always said, engineers plan. 

2. Stay active at home: My dad always says, "Haath fero raakho". Don't make cleaning an event, the moment you see something, put it in the trash and don't wait for the life to happen. If you need to iron the clothes, do that. If you need to organise your dressing table do that. But just do something. Be creative with your food as well. 

3. Lift weights when free: I don't make lifting weights an event and whenever I am free, I lift weights. 

4. Hobbies: Have some hobbies. I personally enjoy playing cricket and football. So I go to play cricket and football, and that's something that really interests me. I love meeting friends and playing games there as well. 

5. Reading: You can also read books in order to avoid boredom. In order to avoid any negative thoughts popping in your head. 

6. Music: Listen to music, write, paint, do anything your mind wishes but do something. That makes your mind sharp as well. 

7. Volunteering: Volunteering is also a great way to be busy. You can teach at different organisations as well. 

8. Learn a new language: I have been learning Spanish on Duolingo and you can keep yourself busy by doing something similar. 

9. Analyzing & Learning from Great Minds: Explore leadership patterns in CEOs and famous personalities.

10. Work & Side Projects: Engage in challenging projects at work, contribute to open-source projects, or start a personal coding project.



The idea at the end of the day, is that the more you keep yourself busy, the better your life will be at everything. You will not have time to dwell on negative thoughts. In fact your thoughts will only be about the things that you wish to do. You can also learn sailing.

Lessons from MS Dhoni: Mastering the Process Over Results

Image
There are a couple of ideas I was having one was character related, take a character and talk about their quotes. Next was take a book and summarise them, since book summaries are also available on YouTube, I think a character summary would be a good way to start this new thread. The first character that I am going to talk about is one of my favourite sport icons, MS Dhoni. I personally feel like I have learnt so many things from him, in fact there are certain mindsets I got from Ms Dhoni that I applied in my life and got successful as well. So why not just start with Ms Dhoni? Purpose First:  One of the first things out there about him is this. When a reporter asked Msd about whether he'll be able to play when his daughter Ziva was born. He said that he's on national duty and everything else can wait. That's a big statement to make. This shows his mindset was totally about nation first and everything else later. He thought about playing cricket is what I get from this quot...

Step into the unknown

 Embrace the unknown. There are so many things in life that we fear. Imagine that you fear a particular project, imagine you risk losing something, imagine you risk the loss of a friend, imagine you risk losing love, all of these are risks. But the point is we want to embrace the unknown. What is to life, if we never explore the unknown, if we never know about someone. I feel like it's important to embrace the unknown. It's important to go through the darkest of times together and then come out stronger. It's important to be yourself.  The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in your life. I love this, so going with the flow of life, and surrendering yourself to the outcome. That is what makes life interesting. Imagine going on a solo trip, you don't really know whom you will meet or how you will stay but with the flow of life you eventuall...

There's light at the end of the tunnel

I have always loved the idea that every story, whether in books, movies, or real life, is a journey—one filled with moments of difficulty, sadness, hardships, and battles that must be fought. But what truly makes a story special is not just the struggles it portrays, but the way it turns them into something meaningful, something that inspires. Think about your favorite films—the ones that leave a lasting impact. No matter how dark the night, no matter how lost the hero feels, in the end, things fall into place. The obstacles that seemed insurmountable become lessons. The heartbreaks become stepping stones. The failures become the very reason for success. And when the movie ends on a hopeful note, the audience walks out of the theater with a renewed belief in life, in second chances, and in the idea that no matter how tough things get, there’s always hope. That’s exactly what I want to contribute through this blog. A sense of belief that life, like the best Hindi films, has its fair sha...
