Undiscovered Powers & Untapped Potentials

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.​
- Dr. Seuss

I firmly believe each of us has the capacity to make a world of difference if we all contribute, in our own small way, to something we truly care about. But we're so caught up in the moment that we forget how truly powerful we are and time after time, act without thought. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. 
I believe we're all much more powerful in ways we refuse to understand. I believe the insurmountable problems today can be solved if people sincerely put their heads together. I believe every small step we take in the right direction leads to something amazing. 
But somewhere in the relentless pursuit of good grades, high paying jobs and search for stability, many of us have lost the courage to experiment, seek new adventures and keep our passions alive. Not all hope is lost though, we only need to be reminded that while walking down the well defined path will lead us to a local maximum, it won't help us find the global maximum. 
As for me, I'm determined to find that global maximum. More importantly, I'm determined to help the maximum number of people I can, to find their global maximum. Because alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much more. 
Sounds crazy? Well, may be. But I'm optimistic about the challenge and believe in change, and as Steve Jobs once said, the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!

Live…Laugh…Love…

A bright ray of light infiltrated through the small crack in the translucent window and perched itself stubbornly on my shut eyes, urging me to get out of my bed and enjoy the marvels of the sunny morning. I smiled, yes, because I believe in starting my day with a smile in the heart and a song on the lips. Last night, I had gone to bed listening to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, so now the song began playing in my mind automatically, on a loop. I welcomed some more sunshine into my room and walked out to the sprawling terrace, to warm up to the day that lay ahead. A cool breeze blew a few strands of my unkempt hair and I stood there, while happy birds were chirping, singing their hearts out, calling out to their mates, flocking together in the blue skies above. The fog was clearing slowly and steadily. And the path was becoming clear. The nights were cold and chilly but along came the mornings that warmly cuddle you with boundless hope and a silent happiness. In the past few ...

Random Ramblings-2

Y et another stream of thoughts interrupted, with the loud thundering noise outside. As I look through the plain glass window, the gathering of the ominous clouds casting their shadows on the ground below, I firmly come to the conclusion that out there is where I belong, not in this stuffy classroom loaded with a monologue! Out there, filling my senses with the smell of the wet Earth, kiss of the first showers, sight of the overcast sky and the strangely comforting sound of thunder, as of the pitter patter rain drops while tasting the pure drops of water from the heavens themselves—that is where I truly belong, feeling alive with every single passing moment. Rains always evoked that excitement in me. Rains always held that mystique calling. They brought the smile back on my face and a pining in the lit up eyes. And though I may rave and rant about the summers and winters, the rains- whenever they come are most welcome. They have my heart and every feeling that is inspire...

The Diary of Anne Frank

" It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.  I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.   I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.  " -Anne Frank Peace and Tranquility did return, if only for a brief period of time, but she wasn't there to see it. I must admit that "The Diary of Anne Frank" was a disturbing read. It is an anti-thesis of what it sets to represent. Anne's diary reverberates hope, a hope of survival and a hope to live the life she truly deserves. Both of which weren't in her fortune.  Some books require you to have the guts to read them and "The Diary of Anne Frank" is one such. It took me weeks to get out of the state of gloom I was pushed in to by reading the book. Anne is like a...
