Ashima Kalra : Thoughts Board

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...

I had always been dedicated to my work. And so, most of the time I was made responsible for any new task that came in our office. No doubts I handled everything perfectly well. Until a new person joined claimed that she can do the entire task that I do, in comparatively lesser time. This was not what I was expecting to happen. All this made me so irritated that I decided to challenge her and challenge myself. I decided to quicken my speed and do things better than she tried to do. Each day passing by, my speed improved. Yes, now even I could manage tasks in so much lesser time. I felt satisfied looking at my better and her average performance. This went on for more than a year and I kept on succeeding over her. After exactly 1 year, my company hired a new person similar to my profile. And now he claimed that he can perform better than me. This was again heights for me. I decided to give it back. And again start my race. But at the end of the day, when I reached bac...

We live in a very practical world where emotions play no major role. And when it comes to love, people become even more stubborn and full of attitude. But one thing that can really bring a difference is trust. Trust is the only factor that counts. If you really trust your partner, nothing can stop you from being together. We often see ample of break ups happening around and only reason behind them is lack of trust and sometimes understanding. If you trust someone, let them know..Else you would always regret it for a lifetime. What people do when they lose trust: Blame their partners for something they would never indent to do. Ask them silly questions only for the heck of satisfaction. Can’t resist even their friends’ presence with their partner. Neither enjoy themselves, nor let others enjoy. If you are really serious about your relation and love your partner truly and don’t want to let them leave you ever, start trusting them at all cost. Don’t ever let them...

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...

Warren Buffet said, “There will never be a better you than you” since you don’t have any replicas. That’s a good enough reason to love yourself. Isn’t it? But more than 90% of the world has decided to stay away of this fact. We screw our lives: By not trusting ourselves and trusting others. By loving those who often don’t love us back. By spending on those who don’t value our efforts. By not realizing our own worth. Basically, we do everything for those who never appreciate us. And then we cry and feel bad about how we ruined our lives! On the contrary, if we realize our real worth and start believing on ourselves, there is nothing in the world that can spoil our happiness as the real happiness is within. We have to understand one thing that no matter what you do, you cannot make everyone around you happy so better stop trying to do that and stay happy on your own. Once you decide to love yourself, you can feel a positive aura a...
