The Letter

Competitive nature is what motivates a human being to be a better version of himself, but when the competition is with oneself how can someone improve? 

And that’s when you came in my life. Riding my fears and my worst nightmares, armed with an arsenal of my insecurities. I admit it, I was afraid. But later realized your purpose of coming into my life, I could see you, staring at me, challenging me to beat you at every turn. Somewhere between those challenges you became my bestie. A healthy rivalry ensued between us, I knew that it was your generosity that you let me win each time, you wanted me to have confidence in myself. 

I strongly believe that you made me who I am, I improved day by day just because of you. Your existence is what made my charisma glow among the various talented personalities. But deep down in the dungeons of my heart I had locked out my hate for you, because I knew that if I hated you then I wouldn’t be what I am today. 

An achiever. An inspiration.

 I hated you for all the sleepless nights that I had to go through, I hated you for all the trouble that I had to face because of you. Despite all this, despite all my hate you kept loving me and never left me, for you knew that one day I would appreciate your love and concern for me. And I owe it all to you, my success, my achievements. Had it not been for you My  Discomforts, I would’ve surely remained a simple guy whose sole purpose in life would have been the 9-5.

 You came in like a tornado and left like a gentle breeze taking away all my fears with you. And now that I remain fearless yet I long for your company. 

The company of a fierce competitor. The company of an inspiration. The company of a valuable friend. 

I remain to you, 
Your bestie

Insecurities - About One's Future

"Everyone wants to live a smooth and wealthy life, everyone wants to be comfortable, to be at peace..... everyone  wants to eat; but few are willing to hunt ." 7.5 billion people on the face of the Earth and yet, only a few percentage of them have gone out of the way, all the way to achieve their dreams. The one thing that kept them going was, they weren't afraid of this word "Insecurity" , they weren't swayed by petty thoughts of 'ifs' and 'buts'. Let's face the fact guys, we all at some point in our life have been depressed , trying to figure out what happens in the future and that's when this term "Insecurity " comes in action. Let me cite an example for you to understand more clearly.                 Let's assume that there's a boy who's really tensed and stressed out about his exams. Like 'What will happen to me, how will I do in the exams?' So he goes and seeks his friends help...

An Understatement

Rabindranath Tagore My college had an essay competition a few weeks ago. I was interested in giving a shot but I guess I just forgot all about it; I still wanted to write down something.  So, here’s what I have to say about one of Rabindranath Tagore’s reputed quotes, “A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it” If you haven’t already got it, what he was basically trying to say was that if you rely wholly on reasoning devoid of sympathy or empathy, you’re going to be a bottleneck on yourself or ruin your prospects. At first, of course, I’d have to agree but at the same time, I want to disagree maybe because I’m that stubborn or just because it looked odd to me that he stated something so self-evident. Whatever the case may be, I think he got ‘logic’ all wrong and so did I but since I wanted to cook up some counter-argument against his statement one way or the other, I looked it up. en.oxforddictionaries.com defines it as “Re...

What remains of Edith Finch

While looking for some new games to play, I came across this one. 'What remains of Edith Finch', a game developed by Giant Sparrow and published by Annapurna Interactive. This game despite being short, deserves more credit, it's the kind of game that story-crazed people would love. image source : digitally downloaded I wasn't sure of what genre it was when I first got it neither did I know it's summary, I picked it from a bunch of random games along with some others. So, when I started off the game it gave me a vibe that it's a horror; I'm not good with horror, haven't played many either. So, I decided to play this with my brother beside me. Yeah, I bamboozled myself but it turned out to be a good experience, an adventure game that offers much more. Like I said before, the game is short, probably 3 hours long, so I don't want to spoil anything by giving a detailed description of the story. image source : games news It'...
