If something or someone is
getting on my nerves to an
extent that I cannot bear it.
I simply drift away from
that thing or that person.
Not everything/everyone needs
a reaction from you. They might
as well be doing whatever they’re
doing just to get on your nerves,
so that you can lose your calm.
Be a better and sensible person.
Don’t lose you calm and peace
of mind in such situations.

Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.
Ek jhalak mein
pehchan nahi
paaya tujhe.
Aisa din bhi aayega,
kabhi socha na tha.
Shayad sach mein ab
maine tujhe is dil se
nikaal phenka hai.
Waise,
kaafi sehmi si
thi aankhein teri,
Jhuki hui, nazre
churaati sabse.
Shayad mujhe dekh
teri aankhon ne tujhe,
teri bewafayi,
teri dagabaazi,
ki yaad dila di hogi.
Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.

You can never go back to what you were. I can never go back to what I was. Our experiences change us. We evolve mentally, physically and emotionally with time. You need to accept yourself the way you’re now. Don’t think of the past, the things which made you happy. It’s in the past. Those people, those things which used to make you happy, aren’t there anymore. So find happiness in the things, the people you have now. Let bygones be bygones. Focus of present, because your present will shape your future. Always remember this.

We don’t always get what we want, what we deserve. Not everyone is lucky. I’ve struggled a lot in my life, and I’m still struggling. I had dreams. Big ass dreams. Couldn’t fulfill all of it. Because that’s life. Sometimes we don’t get what we want, so we need to learn to find happiness in what we have. If we are destined to do something big in life, we will do it, when the time is right. There’s a phrase in Hindi, which we need to learn by heart and respect it, “waqt se pehle, aur naseeb se zada kisi ko kuch nahi milta”. I’m not trying to demotivate any of you here. I am just telling you to face the truth. And keep working hard, so that someday you will reach that point in your life where you can actually try to fulfill all your dreams and live your life the way you always wanted to live. Accept the reality, but never lose hope. Hope is what keeps the fire within us, alive.

To,
The person whom I once loved.
I have nothing but hatred in my heart, for you, but underneath this charade of hatred, there’s still some love left, for you, and it always will.
With love,
Abhishek Gupta.
A letter to the brave mother of that martyr,
Who died today, for this country,
protecting it, protecting us, sacrificing himself.
You brave, brave mother.
Your courageous son,
fought till his last breath.
He did not die in vain.
He fought, for us, protected us.
This whole nation feels your pain.
Politicians are doing politics, and,
some people are using your son’s death,
to seek attention, amidst all this tension.
This is so disturbing, to see,
fellow countrymen doing things like this.
Ashamed, I am, ashamed, they should be, too,
for doing politics over your son’s death.
Another life is lost, another family is devastated.
All I am asking to my fellow countrymen
is to show some respect, to my brother,
your brother, our brother, who died there,
protecting us.
I apologize to you, on behalf of this whole nation,
that your son’s sacrifice was disrespected.
I apologize to you, for I feel the pain,
the pain you are going through right now.
I salute you, mother of that martyr.
– You brave, brave mother.
