Quarter-life Crisis?!?

@ the age of 25 today, I finally agree with the concept of 'Quarter-life Crisis'

What has this last year brought on the table for me? What have been the highs and lows of this past year?

To begin, lets have a brief review..

I came back from Australia for good.. leaving a well paying and fantastic job, was unwell for most of the year with the same old digestion issues which have been nagging me for 2-plus years now, did not have a job for almost 5 months, quit my first job in 5 months because that is not the sort of organisation I wanted to make my career with, got offered a brilliant opportunity with a big company and then realized that they offered me a ridiculous profile for a good pay and hence am jobless once again, the same year in which my beautiful and most amazing relation came to an end and since, I have had the worst 4 months of my life!

WOW! This can be called a 'crisis' I guess!!

But well, lets review from a different angle,

I came back from Australia to be with family and be around my mom who was not keeping too well, I returned to spend more time with my closest friends who I dearly missed while I was in Australia, I created a brilliant business plan while I didn't have a job and which I will execute in the coming months, I quit my first job because the company was unethical, political and ridiculous to their employees, I missed out on my dream job because of a wrong profile but then am proud that I wasn't greedy for the money and believed in myself getting another shot in my field of interest, I met a beautiful person in this year who has been my pillar of support these last few months and I wish to reciprocate for ever, I did lose a person who I believe was sent to me by God but then maybe I had to lose her to realize that I cannot take what I have for granted always and learnt my lesson, two of my best friends got married, I got my new car, etc, etc!

There is the answer to the questions in my mind. If we have an issue or a situation where we feel everything is going wrong, we have two ways of looking at it. I, for example, have been seeing things from the negative angle and have been down and out for most of the year thinking the same old stupid thought, 'WHY ME?'

A simple truth which is right in front of us.. I went through a lot this last year right, but then scroll up and see which paragraph is bigger and has more points to review.
We all have lows, we all have hit ground zero, we all have cried and been hurt and gone through rough patches. This is where we have to come back and tell everyone around us not to give up on us or count us out. This is where we have to prove to ourselves that we are not those who give up or give in to rough times. We are ones who fight back from them and achieve all that we ever wanted, Joy, happiness, friendships, relationships, wealth, everything!

So lets offer a 'CHEERS' to the year that has passed and lets look forward to a much better, and like a good friend says all the time, 'SUPAAA ROCKING' year ahead!

Until next time..

The Silhouette!



---------------------
A moment of your time

Feels like eternity
The vision of your smile
Offers divinity

I could beg to God for you
I could fight the devils
I could challenge the world for you
I'd do anything for you my love.. Because its YOU

You are the rose that never dies
I need you in my life forever
I tell no lies
I'd do anything for you my angel.. Because I need you!

I'd miss you even when you're with me
I'd love you forever and ever
Just want you to hold me
I'd love you more with each passing day.. 

I'd do anything for you.. Because I love you!


A moment of your time
Feels like eternity
The vision of your smile
Offers divinity
---------------------------

You're the power that holds me together..
You're the dream..
You're my soul..
You're the angel that I will love forever..
I'd do anything for you oh angel.. Because I need you!

--------------------

I don't know who you are
Or where you're gonna be
I don't know when we'll meet
Or when we'll ever speak
But I do know something for sure
It's you and only you

-------------------

A moment of your time
Feels like eternity
The vision of your smile
Offers divinity
Don't make me wait now come on
Without you, it's difficult for life to go on...

One Percent!

This weekend has been a very interesting one for me. Probably one of the most since I have returned from Australia!

Yesterday, I had a plan to play cricket with a few friends. While I was waiting for them to pick me up, I began to analyze a certain fact in my life. The fact about whoever this girl would be who I would spend the rest of my life with. Whether it would be the girl I have loved for so long or be someone else, I don't know for sure. And what is funny is that I am not worried anymore. The universe has some awesome plans in store for me.

I began to analyze.. Who is this girl in the silhouette? Who is this girl who I wanna be with forever? Is it Pooja? Or destiny has decided other plans for us!

I recently made this 'list' of things I wanna achieve in the near future. I came up with 25 things that I really wanted in life.. some material and some emotional. I realized one small fact hidden in all that. The girl in the silhouette was just one of the 25 dreams I had. Some food for thought there. The girl, the silhouette that I think about so much.. is just one of the 25 things in the list. A meagre 4 percent!!!

Analyzing further, any girl who I get very close to.. could mean 4 things:

a. An Infatuation
b. A rebound from a past relation OR a past infatuation (applies only in certain cases)
c. A very close friend who we are mistakingly under the assumption, 'could be the one'
d. That she is actually the girl you love!

Hence, the probably of her being the love of your life stands at about 25% or One quarter.

Using the same theory, 25 % of (1 divided by 25) stands at about 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which really means that we guys invest so much time and mind in this girl we wanna be with but we don't realize that her ratio or probability of occurrence stands at about 1 % or less. Please do not mistake this with the level of importance in our lives.

I am a romantic by heart but I sort of understand now, that while I am in the search of or waiting for the return of the perfect one in my life.. It is also important for us to realize that if we do not get that certain person, it is not the end! We look forward to so many things in our lives.. Cars! Phones! Clothes! Tech stuff! Happiness! Family! Health! But then when we face rejection or when that relationship of our dreams does not materialize, we end up loosing our minds! We end up being depressed or upset and lose our focus on the rest of our dreams!

We lose out on the 24 other dreams cuz of that one dream that didn't become reality!

Like I always say, this is totally my opinion and my thoughts put down in ink. But I do feel that it is important for each of us to realize that life is a much bigger picture. It doesn't stop at the breaking of a certain dream. Dream on... there might be something around the corner that will make you forget all the sorrows of the previous broken dreams and in fact bring you so much joy that you'll realize how AWESOME life really is!

I do not say give up on anything. Especially not on the person you love. But do not put everything else on the line.

However, if you're certain that she is the one OR he is the one.. Kindly disregard this BLOG! ;)
But again, BE SURE!

Today @ 25, I have learnt, "Have faith in yourself and believe that you can get whatever you want. Nothing feels impossible then."

Until next time..
