Lets Deal with It

I'm in a dilemma, and keeping my age, experiences, evolution, etc. into account, I feel that everybody must be going through these experiences. I wanted to figure it out, so I thought why don't I share it with people so if they are into similar problems, they can get a sense that they are not alone—I'm also in their league.

I think we both are in a light mood now, to keep yourself relaxed, calm, and put these eyebrows and forehead skin down. 

Let's start. I'll tell you what troubles me currently. If you agree with this, then only read this; otherwise, just leave it completely, do not get tensed, just keep chilling.

The hardest among the hardest problems/crises I'm into today is identity crisis. I've started feeling that I've lost my identity and no matter how hard I'm trying, I'm not getting favourable results so far. Along with that, I also blame some people in life that because of them I've lost my identity and currently I'm suffering and struggling. Then, I also get something in mind that it was not all because of them—"thoda dikkat aur zimmewari toh meri bhi hai". With this thought, I put all this thinking process aside and start to overthink again.

The second problem I face is lack of connection with family, friends, etc. Not detachment, lack of connection. I feel that due to my past experiences, I face this thing. Obviously, I give this reason to myself. Then suddenly a thing pops up in my brain that sometimes I was also a bit dishonest, selfish, etc. with them, but it did not give them a reason to hurt my emotions and feelings. With this, I get out of this topic and go to find some new topic to overthink on.

Then I face the FOMO, fear of missing out. Whenever I open my social media or YouTube, etc., I see people are chilling, living, enjoying their life to the fullest; they have all the luxuries, their family loves them, relationships, friends, etc., and I do not have anything. I'm just building my life from the ground and getting a happy lifestyle from nowhere. Will I ever reach this in life? I ask questions like these of myself. With this thought, I put my problem aside and start to think about how I can become rich enough to buy all this.

Then the distress, be it emotional, financial, or any other. I feel—I start to doubt myself, am I a burden, am I sufficient enough, etc., etc. To stop thinking like that, then I watch some motivational reels on Instagram. And the reels get me to think that I can do anything in the next 6 months, and in the next 6 years I will be at the place where everybody will know my name, scream to death, etc., etc., that I'll drive this bike, that car, fly in 1st class only, international vacations, etc.

So tell me now, you've heard me, seen me, seen my challenges I face every single day. Just let me ask one question. Will I ever be rich?

Probably you'll have in mind, "Yes, you can be rich."

Now, tell me, with this thinking, will I ever be able to be rich?

Now, you'll say No. You know why? Because you also know that I'm just dreaming, just thinking to be rich, and I'm not taking any steps. So, you tell me now, how both of us will get success with this thinking. We can't.

So, before I share my plan with you, you tell me what shall we do in order to be what we want?

Finding Peace Within

Image
After long, exhausting hours of class, work, and all your duties, you finally lay down on your bed to relax. But instead of feeling peace, your mind is still racing, trying to replay everything that happened during the day—maybe some awkward conversation from earlier, wondering if you said the wrong thing. You check your phone for messages or missed calls, feeling a slight sting of disappointment when there’s nothing new. Then, a wave of anxiety creeps in as you start thinking about all the tasks waiting for you tomorrow. Physically, you are present, but mentally, you are everywhere except here, in the moment. Sounds familiar? Most of us live in constant clutter, regretting the past, worrying about the future, reacting impulsively to challenges, clinging to things beyond our control, and most importantly, fearing solitude. We live for peace, yet our own thoughts keep us restless. But what if there was another way? What if we could live with clarity, peace, and deep fulfillment—not by...

Neglected Delhi

Last weekend, I got a chance to visit a slum area in Delhi and teach some kids through an NGO called Pehchaan. As soon as I came out of the metro station, I was hit by a strong bad smell coming from an open black water ditch nearby i.e. nothing but Yamuna river. The heat was scorching, and I could imagine people even sleeping on the road close to that foul-smelling ditch. As we walked further, I saw narrow dirty lanes filled with garbage everywhere. Men were walking around without shirts, women were washing clothes right beside the narrow paths, and the detergent foam was spilling onto the road. Kids were running and playing in these small lanes along with some goats. I also noticed things like broken CCTV cameras and a boy coloring his mother’s hair right there in the open. It was a tough sight. We finally reached a small temple where I was supposed to teach a group of 7 to 8 children from 6th and 9th grades, all living in that slum. After some time, a group of 9th-grade students fro...

Stubble Burning: A Ground Reality Check

Image
I was crossing Haryana when my eyes caught the paddy crops—it was harvest time for some farmers. For others, it would take another 5 to 6 days before they could harvest. I was in the car with a few relatives from Haryana, and curiosity got the better of me. I turned to them and asked, "What do you guys do with the remaining rice straw, the stubble?" One of them replied casually, "We use it as fodder for our cattle, and whatever is left, we simply burn it." "Okay," I said, pausing for a moment. Then I asked, "Why don't you cut the straw into little pieces with a thresher and let it decompose? You'd likely get better soil fertility for the next crop." He shook his head. "We can't do that because it takes 1 to 3 months for the stubble to decompose. We can't wait that long for the next crop. We have to sow wheat seeds by the end of October, otherwise the yield will be delayed or even ruined. So burning the leftover stubble is ...
