Happy Holi !



It's the time of the year which marks the onset of spring,shedding of winter clothes,pleasant weather,savoring chilled drinks,deserts and also the festive mood.



Now you must be wondering what festive mood i must be talking about,well,its none other than the festival- Holi!

To elucidate you a little in brief; Holi is a traditional Hindu festival.This festival is for two days.On the first day,after sunset a bonfire is lit up where people gather around and celebrate 'Holika Dahan'. Significantly,a mythology is attached to it as and when ages ago,a powerful and evil king named Hiranyakashyap lived.He wanted everyone to worship him and also expected from his son Prahlad although he was devoted to lord Vishnu.The demon king couldn't see the sight of Prahlad being an ardent devotee of lord Vishnu and so he made several attempts to get him killed.When all his attempts proved futile,he finally asked his sister Holika to enter into the flames with Prahlad in her lap.However,the benefit to her was that she had been given a boon in which she could enter the fire unharmed.Holika sat with Prahlad in her lap unaware of the fact that the boon only worked when she would enter the fire alone and so she had to pay for her sins;thereby Holika burnt alive and Prahlad came out of the fire unscathed as he continued chanting lord Vishnu's name.

That was the long story short and now i conclude on the second day festival.On the second day of Holi,people play with colours.From here on their is also a mythological significance whereby lord Krishna initiated the celebration of playing with colours.He felt utmost ecstasy playing it with Radha and other gopis and since then onward it became a festive occasion.



The festival of colours is a reminder to make merry,unite and come together as one,be it friends and family,leaving all the hatred,resentment,ill will behind and embrace the colour of love,the colour of friendship,the colour of blissfulness,the colour of exuberance. 

Lets play Holi !!!

Kyunki buraa naa maano holi hai!

Self Love And Relationships

When you don't love yourself, you do not appreciate anything in your life including the people and the things you have. Albert Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". The question is, are you willing to make a move and love yourself? Are you willing to accept who you are including the flaws you have? Are you willing to change your life? If yes, then my friend you have come to the right place and I am here to make you fall in love with yourself. You must have noticed that when people love you and you don't receive the love back with equal affection or don't return their love, they simply block you from their life or walk out from your life. And then you feel that nobody loves you, that you are alone, you feel lonely and you think people don't love you. This life of misery continues until you realize that you are the one who was blocking out all the love from outside because you didn't have love within you. What I would like to...

Unfailing Outlook

While you have dreams in your vision to fulfill them,you also see on the other hand how people are living their life. The kind of life you too are dreaming at the moment. Someone's a doctor, musician, singer, astronaut, engineer, architect etc.Perhaps every individual lives up to their dreams as without dreams reality hits us hard.   To live your dream you need to have an ambition,an aim,strength to resist trials and tribulations,undivided focus and hard work.  And all this comes with a cost - Time! Time which keeps ticking at every mini second Time that doesn't stop Time which is the present Time that guides you to make or break your life. Like the wrist watch on your hand completes your style,the same way the time is a constant reminder to you to walk on the pedestal or you'll get hit by a car. But at times,we fail,we feel let down due to circumstances and sometimes hard luck. Whatever the issue of concern may be but it's really important to ha...

Give Yourself First Priority

Often times, we give priority to others. Self-love is considered as being narcissistic and egoistic. When you give love to yourself, you don't become selfish, you are giving yourself the value which no one else will ever give. But people consider both the terms same. Forget about what others think. When you need to put on weight or shed some weight, you are doing that for yourself, not for others, but because you want to truly feel beautiful within.  When you love singing even if your voice cracks, you are doing that because there is no satisfaction to you when you sing in an orderly way. It's just the way you like to sing.  When you dance in a crazy way in your room, you do that for yourself. When you focus on your career first even if it demands others attention, you do that because it gives a sense of purpose to your life. It doesn't mean you are being ambitious or selfish. It's your passion, your joy which you love! So why do you care what people will say...
