The perspective of a wandering mind

We have all opened our eyes in the mornings, with regrets of either having done something or not having done something. Regrets are those instances where either our heart works but body fails to do so or, are those instances where our body works but brain fails to filter it. With such a wide spectrum of outcomes of good and bad, how do we choose to either do it or not do it? How do we choose the outcome? How do we know if the choice we are about to make is right or wrong? We don't!! We do it anyways. A great man once said, "Whenever there's an argument between the mind and the heart, follow your heart." Why is that? It's Because, the heart is talking to you about what you want while your mind is talking to you about what others want. It's okay to be selfish enough to think and act on what we want, rather than think about what others want. The most common phrase used by people  when you're in doubt is, "Do it, or you'll regret it your enti...

What is love? A question often asked by almost all of us, and more often than not, asked by the same individual at different stages of his/her life. Is love the connection we feel when we look at someone for the first time and have butterflies in our stomach and palpitations in our heart, or is love the feeling of calmness and peace when we look into the person's eyes for the first time?

Is love the laughter and smiles we wear when we think about a person, or is love the tears that roll down our cheeks when we think about another heart? Is love seeing a smile on your face when you look into the mirror, thinking of someone else, or is ...

Intuition and practicality-- two ends of a spectrum. Intuitions, an instinctive feeling rather than concious reasoning. Practicality, the aspects of a situation that involve the actual doing or experience of something rather than theories and ideas. We often come across various situations in our life, wherein our brain and our heart are the main choices, and more often than not, the heart plays a role of a protagonist with a very antagonistic character. A confusing oxymoron. Let me, take the example of the movie Kal Ho Naa Ho. SRK, a dying man chooses to be practical, rather than follow his gut. He chooses to let his lady fall in love with another man; in this way hoping that, even after he dies, his lady is left with warmth and love. Wow, what an ending, truly touching. But let's say, he survives. Let's say he was a dying man who got cured and is cured of his disease. Now what? Does he fight for his true love and try to win his lady back, who he loved so much that he chose...
