There is no free Lunch

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

no free lunch

There is no free Lunch-To get everything done, we need to work and even if we want others to work for us, then too we got to work and that too harder. And the work can be defined in many ways, it can be a job of any sort, a labor work, a household work, and what not. And to survive we need to do them.

“There are no such things as Free lunches” the phrase says a lot.

To endure in this pacing life, an idle person can never survive and we can start from the very bottom. Even the greatest entrepreneurs started from the very bottom and they succeeded and achieved manifolds. This was only possible because they worked! They worked day in and day out, like a Trojan, their uphill struggle brought them to where they are now and that wouldn’t have been possible if they chose to stay idle.

If they had taken the easy way out, of staying inside their comfort zone, their existence would’ve vanished till time!

So pull up your socks from today! Start working! There ain’t no free lunches my friend!

Never Expires

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

We live but the only day we stop is the day of out death. Till that day, we might corrode but we don’t completely expire! And that goes for the biological aspects of us.

What about the personality that we possess? Does it get corroded away with time?

never expire

The answer is NO! In fact, our personality can never get obsolete, provided we take care of stepping ahead. We only grow with passing time and so does our personality. Coming across through various time, the personality keeps on growing and getting better.

Look at the “previous you” and then at the “current you”, the personality differs and that is a good change that you might witness and that comes with the maturity that we acquire with the experience!

But besides experience, the tonic for the personality is keeping it updated!

“Even the stagnant water becomes toxic” and so is the case with our personality. We got to change with the changing times, only then we’ll be fit enough in the society.

If we keep living the way we used to live in the past, things will become so hard to take that we’ll start losing the charisma towards life. A person with a supple personality is much exultant.

So, Never Expire till the day you’re destined to! Keep on pressing that “Refresh” button!

Under The Eclipse Of Religion!

our religion

Under The Eclipse Of Religion!-“There’s only one God and he watches over everyone squarely!” They say!

“There are 330 million gods that need to be served and worshipped differently.” The Hindu mythology says.

So! What are we supposed to do? We, the Hindus, are stuck dreadfully in this wicked dilemma of hypothesis. On one hand we’re told that our KARMA should be pure enough, we should never hurt the beings around us because they too are the creation of that one super natural power that resides in the far heavens, while on the other hand we’re sacrificing the life of innocent animals in the name of offerings to the lords that we worship.

We believe that our Lords will be delighted if we sacrifice blood and life of such animals and that we’ll be showered with hordes of blessings. Can we call it a vigorous mythology? Well, it doesn’t seem like one!

Having ones beliefs and having a herd mentality are poles apart. Today, praying only means following some religion blindly. We never go into the logic of what is right and what is wrong, we just keep following what has been told to us since ages.

But, we can’t just bear it out straight forwardly that whatever is being preached since ages, has to be right. It can be wrong, it can be wrong in many ways, and no one told us to do the wrong under the eclipse of a RELIGION. No religion tells us to be sinful and if our insides tell us that something is sinful, than you can rest assured that the religion never taught us the same, it just preached something which has been manipulated appallingly by human beings and now it gave the religion, an ugly face.

So, one should follow religion, not the transgressions created under its name!

The Discussion Room

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

I saw this wonderful girl when I was attending one blogging conference held in my city. I was not obviously expecting any diva to show down in the ‘Literature’ type event but my wait proved write when she entered the room and I said, “Oh my god, my conference is ruined. How will I be able to concentrate now?”

It justified. Correctly. I had to do something, something macho. Look, what I did? By some crooked means, the way I will show it my another blog :D, I found her email ID and sent the following.

“Hope this email finds you well. You must be in the grey of your health.
Duh, so formal. Yea, leave it. 😀

Scene 1- You enter supposedly. Had I known I would craft an email for it later after struggling on FB, Insta and probably Snapchat, I would definitely have observed you better. Wooooo. Wait. What sort of permutation and combination had I applied? I mustn’t tell you.

Scene 2- This was the adrenaline rush. So, today is the right time. Maybe, tomorrow the gist and zeal might have faded, well, sort of, because of my impotency to pursue it personally. 😀

Scene 3- Why would you come to the play today? You weren’t there yesterday, for God Sake? If there was a test to ‘being noticed’ by someone with the most intellectually dumb patterns, I would be the winner and runners-up. Forgive my oxymorons.

Black OUT-
Do you live in Ahmadabad? It’s the only thing I probably don’t know about you.

Duh, so informal.
Anyways, I am going to be judged. Seriously, call it a one-day desperation or a new form of it maybe 20–20, I just wanted to talk to you but couldn’t.

See you, A*****i. Needless to say, sweet name you have.
PS- Sonder= The realization that each random passerby is living a life
as vivid and complex as your own.”

The girl did get flattered; she denied me to go out with me.
