The World is turning Fancy

Posted on November 1, 2025December 2, 2025 by Bhavik Sarkhedi

The World is turning Fancy-Disguise the insides!

We all have our idols and we keep following them. The way they look, the styles they adopt and even the way they talk, we follow everything and adopt them in our life styles.

But our idols are great men who’ve achieved great things in life. Even if they’re the actors that play in movies, they have a message to be delivered.

But why do we fancy only their outsides? We should go deeper, think deeper and look for what actually they want to tell us. By adopting the good things that they tell us, that they want to deliver, is actually how we should follow them.

Disguising ourselves as the great men just from the mere outsides won’t help, let’s try and disguise the insides as them too.

They have a lot to teach and we have a lot to learn. Let’s pay heed to the things which are important!

Soup For The Soul India

The simpler, the better!

The world is turning Fancy!

It’s all getting glittery and shiny, the glam and the glow doesn’t fail to draw eyeballs. And we’re all sailing the same boat. We all want best products, best brands, best everything to adorn our life. The more we spend on material seems the very first sign of a lavish lifestyle.

But! Does it make us any happier? We are doing so to impress the ones surrounding us. To let them judge who’s better and to let them know what we have and how we spend it.

This doesn’t invite happiness. It just makes us more anxious every time because each time we go out to face those people we need newer things to impress them and to draw their attention and this occupies our mind most of the time so how can we expect peace to come to us!?

Peace only comes when life is less complicated, when we don’t have a race to run and when we don’t care what others think of us.

And that sort of peace is in staying simple. The simpler we stay, the easier our life would be.

Let’s stay simple and humble and let’s not ruin it all in the name of lifestyle!

Power makes you lonely sometimes

Power makes you lonely sometimes/Soup for the Soul

Running behind power, fame and recognition, we’ve left behind many things, many precious things that can’t be recovered now.

You were too busy working when your only kid slept waiting for you on his birthday, you were too busy proving your mark that you missed the little moments where your family missed you too badly, you were too busy convincing someone for your own gain that you couldn’t be there with your wife when she was sick, you weren’t there when your friends had bad times or were enjoying, you were too busy earning hard cash that you missed the real wealth, the wealth of happiness and golden moments.

This is the hard reality of your life. You say you work only for their comfort and happiness but that’s not true. Your loved ones would only want your time and your own happiness. They would be okay if you work less or earn less.

They would be happy in less if you give them the most valuable thing, your time.

Because if you don’t, they’ll learn to live without you, your kids will find things to do out, your wife will keep herself occupied and your friends would take you as an outcasts.

Then you’ll have money, power and recognition of the world, but you’ll be alone!

Alone? Not a problem!

Some situations in our life come when we feel the loneliest person in the world. Even if we’re surrounded by a huge crowd, even if we’re around thousands of people, we feel alone and that’s the feeling that arises when nothing goes right.

Even the ones close to us seem to be busy and all taken away that they get no time for you!

But what is the solution to this? Crying and be depressed? Not at all!

The world doesn’t give you any attention because the world is busy. They all are busy with their own life so why can’t you be?

There are no less things that you can do, the things that’ll make you gain a lot. Keeping yourself busy in productive work and the tasks that make you a better being is what is much more worth it than having someone’s useless companionship.

So being alone is not a problem unless you yourself take it as one.

In fact, being alone is much better sometimes. It keeps you away from some pointless worries and issues. And the companionship of some productive work only makes it better.

So if you’re alone, avail the opportunity well and drown yourself in some good work.

But

Soup For The Soul

Selflessness might be dangerous!

We’re taught since childhood the meaning of the word ‘Selfish’. It’s always taken in the negatives ways. If a person is selfish, he is considered as cunning and the bad one. But that is not completely true.

There are two types of selfish people. The ones who only think about themselves and harm others to have their own gains are the bad ones but the selfish people who besides thinking about others, keep their own priorities clear are the good selfish ones.

Soup For The Soul

And we can see it with a fact nowadays, if we don’t think about our own self, who else will?

No one thinks about anyone in the present world. Everyone has to think about their life on their own. And if we don’t keep that little good selfishness alive in us, we would never be able to achieve the desired things in life. Because if we let others enter the door before us, we’ll never be able to board the bus and it’ll leave without us.

So, being selfless ain’t bad at all but being a little good selfish is what is needed.

Soup For The Soul

Because without thinking of our own, we’ll do injustice to our own self. We’re only the ones who’ll think of our own self, no one else will.

Keep the name high

Keep the name high/Soup for the Soul

Patriotism nowadays is rarely found but it surges through us at once suddenly at some points.

We might keep yelling bad things about our country INDIA, criticizing the system, the corruption, the infrastructure and even our countrymen. But when we’re talked about in other countries and when others come to judge us, we stand united.

Soup For The Soul India

We our self can say a lot bad about India but we can’t hear the same from any other countries. When it comes to proving our mark and proving our potential, we give our level best to perform more than good in front of the whole world. We keep that dignity higher when it comes to competing internationally and that’s in itself a achievement that leads us to many others.

If we keep getting united at times like these, we’ll soon learn to stay inside even at the domestic levels and that is where the rise of the sun of developed India will take place.

Soup For The Soul

Keep on working in the good directions and one day the worlds will take our name with much more respect!

The Momentary Movement

Posted on November 1, 2025December 2, 2025 by Bhavik Sarkhedi

The Momentary Movement/Soup for the Soul

Live in the moment, make the movement!

We all are remorseful about the past and are anxious about the future and that’s what spoils our present.

Nothing but over thinking is the trending disease in today’s world. From the past, we’ve acquired many experiences and many of them turned out to be bad and for the future we stay worried of making the wrong move again!

The move is what we’re supposed to make. If we keep on thinking too much of making a move, we’ll never be able to make it on time and the right moment will pass.

The movement will be late, the moment will pass and you’ll be left with some inappropriate results which would either be delayed or much less than what you expected. We are human beings, we are meant to learn by making mistakes so one should never be scared of making a mistake or taking a wrong decision in life.

Just do it what feels right at the moment and make the movement!

Be the results good or bad! Doesn’t matter. At last you’ll be happy that you did what you want

They’re fast doesn’t mean you’re slow!

Everyone is striving for a survival. We all struggle to get the best for us. Be it a job, good salary, a status or anything, we’re all in great struggle to make those things which we need for a better life. And we al do the struggle that our ability allows us to do.

Sometimes, the ones who started with us, reach their desired goals way before us. That scares us because there’s always a fear of lagging behind. We find our self stuck in a situation where we feel stressed because our companions ran faster than us in this marathon of success.

But in real, this is no issue to be worried about!

If you really wanna worry about something, then you better pay focus in your efforts, your hard work and the determination you have. Wherever you feel you’re lacking something, dwell on your good qualities and overcome your weaknesses.

If someone is faster than us, doesn’t mean we’re slow. We just have to work in a proper way and have that passion in us which is needed. Seeing others doing better one should only be motivated and work on them self.

That’s the only mantra of keep going!

Take them along and run!

Soup For The Soul

Life is another name of running. Some run faster and some run slower but some are there who don’t even run. They are just meant to lag behind because their conditions tell them so.

They might be the poor ones or the disabled ones who’ve been told everyday that they’re not worth enough to even stand beside the ones who’re well off. They don’t even dare to run with the well off people because since birth, they’re told to stay away.

Soup For The Soul

And the ones who told them so include us!

We can see it in our body language how we react when someone who is lower in life style to us, comes around. We don’t like them most of the times.

But why do we do that? Instead if we’re well off, we must feel our self blessed. We should rather help them survive in this fast-moving world. We must help them in every way we could. If they’ve been crippled by the circumstances, we can hold their hand and run with them.

Soup For The Soul

We won’t lose a thing and they’ll gain much. And with them, we’ll gain even more!

A time away in simplicity!

Life goes on and we develop with every phase of life. Be it mental development or physical or materialistic. We move forward and keep on developing.

Soup For The Soul

At times, looking back in time, we see how time has changed manifolds. What used to be just a mere imagination or dream is now the reality and it now fails to even amaze us.

The growing world has saw tremendous changes and those changes are way beyond the mind of the ones who lived in the past.

Things transformed and they turned technical, comforting and upgraded. But taking some time out, if we look back down the memory lane, we see what it used to be like when we used to live in a less technical world. There was more f happiness and less of sorrows. There used to be contentment even with the downgraded things and now we’re not even satisfied with the luxurious ones. That’s because our hopes have been raised while witnessing the world growing. We know now everything is possible. And we know now things can get better and that’s what never makes us feel satisfied. We want better and better and better.

Soup For The Soul

We’ve lost much, more than we gained. We’ve lost the inner peace somewhere in this era of transformation. We’ve lost the satisfaction and peace of the inside.

In the search of newer things, we’ve lost the old ones.

But the memories are still there to cherish!

Drop your Drawbacks

Posted on November 1, 2025December 2, 2025 by Bhavik Sarkhedi

Drops your Drawbacks/ Soup for the Soul

The above all the images shows the different scenarios & totally variety of situation but the theme remains the same :Drop your Drawbacks because there is no need to hold on the barriers & moving on in the life considering it as the burden

Happiness and Sorrow are parallel to life!

Life is a blend of many things but as a crux, we call it a mixture of happiness and sorrow.

Knowing that happy days and sad days both are a part and parcel of life, we still not stop complaining! We complain about getting the sorrow or grief injected in our life, we complaint about our failures while others succeed. But there is happiness too. When we’re happy we never complain about our happiness while others are sad.

Why don’t we simply understand?

Life would be totally dull if everyday becomes the same. If everyday becomes happy or everyday becomes sad, we would most probably leave the idea of living further.

The weathers of life keep on changing and that’s what keeps the spice of life maintained. We only live because we see variations of days, some are good for which we always strive and some are bad that come along the good ones.

So if you want happiness, sorrow will come hand in hand. You have no option but to embrace both of them with opened arms. Be strong and face every weather!

Like in cricket, if our team strikes four later boundaries or sixes, we’ll be in the ninth sky!

But if the same team members get out four times after with zero runs, we’ll surely curse them.

Same is with life and places and things around us. If we see uniformity somewhere, doesn’t really mean that it’s meant to please us. We’re not meant to follow the same streak if it doesn’t feel good to us.

Like being poor, if it’s been in our family since ages, with our fathers and forefathers spending their life compromising to the situations, doesn’t mean that we too have to follow the same streak.

Turn around but be ready to shoot back!

We all might at one point of time, want to be relaxed for a while and stay away from the stress which is regularly stiffening our soul. The relaxation is always temporary but we all deserve it and it’s something which is much required at times.

But being relaxed never means to let your companions have a chance to overtake you. You can relax but never get completely out of the race because in the end you have to rejoin.

For the mind and soul to be relaxed, the cost of your success should never be paid. Be still for a while but stay attentive, because you might fall prey to the movements which will even be faster after you stop doing things.

Your competitors and even your companions are always in the wait for you to stay back and give them a chance to overtake you. And that’s what should never happen because this will only make you feel much more stressed than before.

Have a break. Take a rest but never leave the battleground. You can turn your back to the game for a while but stay ready to shoot back when needed.

We choose only those things and circumstances that are comfortable to us and thinking nothing about anything else, we just seek our own comfort. And this stubborn nature of us only harms us because life is uncertain. We never know what the next day has for us. Life can be harsh at once and it can just get messed up. That is the time, the hard times, where our patience is tested. At that point of time, our own wish won’t mean anything because it’ll just be the question of survival and if we still seek comfort in such situations then surely we’re going to be knocked down. So to survive in the hardest storms, one should be tough to face it. One should adjust oneself to adapt the coming circumstances. Because life is unpredictable. It will strike hard one day and you won’t get any choice but either to be tough or give up.

So tighten up your seat belt if you want to stay strong in this storm called life.
