Ashima Kalra : Thoughts Board

I often hear this statement “Follow your Heart” from many people around. Often mentors, teachers and friends tell us to do this. We can read stories guiding people that they should do things according to what they feel is right. But do we really do that? Do we even spend a single day as per our own choice? We go to school, as we are expected to go to school. We take up a job, as we are expected to take one. We marry, as we are expected to marry till some defined age or so. What do we do with our choice? AND In case you dare to actually “Follow your Heart”… Be ready to become a laughter element for the society. This is why no one dares to “Follow their Heart”. But what if Albert Einstien also decided not to be different? We would have lost a wonderful knowledge guru and would have been refrained by his great theories and philosophies. And what if Sir Columbus had also decided to stop his craving for traveling? America would not have been discovered too. These ar...

It might look boring to a few of you for reading this short story which has nothing to do with. But the reason why I am putting it down here is I am still struggling to know where I was wrong. Why glamour get more importance in the advertising world? It was some 5 years ago I guess when I was struggling for a good job here and there. Each day was a new struggle in a new place of Delhi. It’s quite hard to manage especially in the hot humid atmosphere. Anyways, I managed to reach to some part of South Delhi from North to give my interview as a content writer. Luckily, I could clear the first round and then it was the second one where I was supposed to write on the “Important of girl/women in Advertising” (Not exactly this but something related). I stated the honest opinion saying that “I personally don’t like advertisements showing up more of glamour and less of product value and importance and so on”. Probably this was like a criticism for the ad agency (of course I would not take...

While growing up, we are juggling with millions of thoughts in single second. From all, we have to choose a few that helps us to take the right directions and right decisions in life. Once we plan on the same, our life gets better and worth enjoying each day. Stay positive, live free: Only two perspectives exist: Positive & Negative. It purely depends on you which do you chose to live. Once you plan to streamline your thought process in your desired perspective, your life starts flowing accordingly. So, if you decide to be positive, everything around you will positive and vice versa. The aura of positivity from within plans the environment around you. Stay positive and live freely and everything around you will start happening the way you want them to be. Live in the Present: We often live in the imaginative world of thoughts from the past and future which generally makes us forget our present. And this is the biggest mistake that we often make. We should never forget tha...

Love yourself : Don’t go beyond what’s intolerable for you. Being in relationship doesn’t means you will have to keep a knife hanging around your neck. But this is what generally happens. Stop doing what you don’t want to and do whatever makes you happy. That’s the true fun in living. Learn a lesson from past affairs and get the hell out of the present: One should always learn from the mistakes made in past. Leave it, if it’s too hard to carry and just move ahead. No regrets too please. If things move normally, it’s good, If not then let it be and learn from the experience. Concentrate on what’s really important: Prioritize in life. Put those things on top, that matters to you and make it work for you. Leave those things aside that makes you sad. Focus on the results and not mere transactions: Don’t just keep yourself busy but focus on the deliverables. Though keeping yourself busy is the easiest thing one can do but removing complications is possible only if y...

We usually regret to everything that did made us smile earlier but later end up hurting us...but that should not be the case. One needs to be positive in all approach. If you had the courage to be happy...be strong enough to upfront the consequences as well...
