The Turning Point

Dear A*****a, Chill really, remember why you went through such a bad phrase last year. Remember why you almost went into clinical depression. Remember what almost wrecked you last year. It was not the moot, it was the importance you attached to this not so significant event. It was the way you got worked up for nothing. I know this means a lot to you, I know you have to prove a lot to a lot of people, but you have to remain level- headed. Because, when you are calm you can conquer the world. Work hard, work your ass off. Give it  your 200% , but don't let it get to your head. Remember whatever happens it is not the end of the world. You can come back from a 11 rank, you will get what you deserve. Just be the best version of yourself.  Don't do this for the wrong reasons, do this for the right reasons, do this because you want to and not because you have to. I know your destination is to get a great rank, but don't forget to enjoy and learn from the journey.  Keep yo

In know, this week is really hard you  are sick and you feel weak and your uterus is also hell-bent on making your life harder but remember like everything even this shall pass.

But, you feel you can't . Stop doing this to yourself. Give yourself a break, don't be so hard on yourself. Enjoy life, read books, daydream about S*****p. Chill, be happy and focus on the now and do your best and leave the rest( not to anybody).

Very recently I was posed with an interesting dilemma whether to believe in God or any form of Supernatural power or not. I have stopped believing in organised religion since I was almost 11 or 12. It started off because I hated going to the mosque or performing namaz, I could not understand Arabic and the whole fanaticism attached to it annoys me to no extent. At think at this juncture, it becomes important for me to clarify some points; I belong to this really close-knit and small group under Shia sect called Bohra Muslims. Generally, our community is considered pretty progressive according to Islamic as well as Indian standard but it is a business community and as with very thing else we even managed to monetize religion as well. The lavish lifestyle enjoyed by our religious leaders and their demand for an exorbitant amount of money was a crucial factor which alienated me from my own religion.  Plus the people with whom I have to live do not help either. I come from a tier two ci
