Try once...you may succeed








I clicked this picture two days back and as I looked at this picture, I thought..."What does this picture reflect?"  'Confidence and Poise' came to my mind. No matter that  it's alone, in a limited space.

People around you, showing their support, make you feel good but it’s not that you can’t do anything alone. It's 'YOU', you can rely upon. 

One of my dear friends is planning to do something of her own but she is afraid and confused. 

“I don’t know if I would be able to do it alone.” She says.

“How would you know if you don’t try? At least once.” I asked.

People keep thinking about support and resources. But you might have seen many self-made people who have succeeded without much support and with very limited resources.

I think if you have confidence, dedication and ability to handle things appropriately you can do many things alone even if with limited resources. I believe that we should at least try. Because when we try, there are two possibilities: Success or Failure. Moreover you gain experience.
But if you don’t even try, there is only one possibility: Failure

I think if you want to do something (something that is creative and rewarding and of course, morally correct) in life, you must try it. Otherwise you will keep thinking in future “Had I tried it once, I might have succeeded”.  So don't be afraid of failure as failure has a tendency to frighten. Fight it. 

Be confident. Be determined. Be honest to your work. Be hopeful. And go ahead!
You know ‘fear of failure’ keeps us away from the ‘bliss of success’ :)

Promise of a beautiful tomorrow





(I clicked this picture last night)



Bright and calm moon
And myriads of stars
Promised me a beautiful tomorrow
So what this day was dull and depressing
A beautiful new day is waiting for me
To learn new things
To make new plans
To start afresh….


If something went wrong today, it doesn’t mean that tomorrow can’t be a beautiful one. You just have to promise yourself that you’ll take a fresh start tomorrow, forgetting the woes of today. There’s always a hope of refinement, good performance, success and happiness…

Vibrant greenery




Vibrant greenery
Decorated with exotic colours
Soul of the earth’s charismatic panorama…









Nature is the best blessing we have and it’s good to have lush greenery around. And rain creates a wonderful aura by adding brightness and freshness in nature. Soothing breeze. Clean dancing water drops on the soft green leaves. Vibrating supple delicate flowers… Actually, these days I am being very lazy and couldn’t write (or even read much!!!) so I’m trying to capture some beautiful and interesting glimpse of nature……I clicked these pictures yesterday. It’s nice…isn’t it?

Bumm Bumm Bole: A movie







Recently I watched a film that I never wanted to but this movie Bumm Bumm Bole came as a very pleasant surprise. Few minutes of this film compelled me to stick to the channel.

This film, directed by Priyadarshan, beautifully portrays the innocent bond of a brother and sister, even in the extreme hardship.

Khogiram played by Atul Kulkarni and his wife (Rituparna Sengupta) along with their children Pinu (Played by Darsheel Safary) and Rimzim (Ziyah Vastani) live in a terrorist dominated area. They are very poor. Both Pinu and Rimzim go to their respectable schools but are unable to manage its standard. They are bright students but they don’t have enough money to buy new uniforms and shoes.

One day Pinu misplaces Rimzim’s only pair of sandals in the market. Pinu requests his sister not to tell their mother and rimzim agrees. But Rimzim cannot go to her school without her sandals. Then Pinu plans something. They decide to share same shoes (Pinu’s really old one).  Rimzim attends morning class and comes back hastily to hand over the shoes to her brother so that he can attend his afternoon classes.

After some difficult days, Pinu participates in inter school marathon to win the third prize as it offers a nice pair of shoes. He thinks to exchange them with girl’s shoes and give them to her sister. But he stands first and gets scholarship till his high school education. Meanwhile their father gets a nice job.

The film ends showing that Pinu returns home disappointed (After losing the third prize)and on the other side his father buys nice shoes for Pinu and Rimzim (As he gets some advance money).

The film is embellished with many beautiful, sweet and emotional incidents. The children have portrayed their characters very sweetly and skillfully. I really…really liked this movie and can watch it one more time.

Stars






Twinkling stars erase
The loneliness of heart, seem
Like eternal friends


They wink, tell stories
Try to brighten the darkness
Of sad gloomy night

Rainbow of joy!




I embellished my life
With some dreams
Nourished them with patience and hope
Tried to strengthen them
With efforts and determination
Despite all my efforts
Some of my dreams shattered
Leaving me distressed
 Someone knocked the door of my life
As I sat encircled with gloom and despair
I opened the door and felt a fresh air of bliss
A new happiness was  smiling at me
I welcomed it heartily
Embraced it merrily
Anguish vanished somewhere
Heart danced with delight
Peace calmed the disturbed mind
Again hope chimed sweetly
That life will be filled with rainbow of joy...again!

World rejoiced at her

Inspiration in life







I have known some people who struggled and succeeded in their careers despite deplorable financial and other difficult conditions. Many children are fortunate enough to get innumerable facilities. Some succeed using those amenities. Some just waste them. But some people do not depend on facilities for success. They are so focused, dedicated, bright and hopeful that success can’t refuse to embrace them. And these people set example in the society and can play inspiration for many struggling youngsters.


Many times we get inspired by some positive/inspiring words and thoughts. These words touch our hearts and help us to rejuvenate.

Loneliness gripped Vartika as she got married. Her husband was a busy man and usually seemed ignorant. In the course of fighting the boredom she discovered something new, hidden within. A desire to do something evolved as she recognized her writing ability. She wrote many poems, stories and articles and sent them to several magazines.

Her joy evaporated when her creations got rejected one by one. Disheartened, she started to lose zest and her interest in writing.

One day, when she was sad as she had just received a rejection letter, a ray of inspiration enlightened her. And that ray of inspiration was her husband. He patted her cheek and said “Don’t get disheartened. So what if some of your creations have got rejected? Don’t let anything discourage you. Don’t listen to anyone. Not even me, if I ever try to discourage you. Just trust your talent and never give up. Keep trying and keep writing. I’m sure one day your talent will flourish with flying colours.”

These affectionate words of inspiration touched Vartika’s heart and she started writing with refreshed energy. And her husband was right. One fine day, she saw her creations in a very prestigious magazine.
Life is full of inspirations and many times it gives you the opportunities to get inspired. You never know where you can get your inspiration from. Lots of creativity, positive attitude, inspiring words, inspiring incidents that make you more experienced, and much more…

But words of inspiration or inspiring incidents affect you when you have the courage and determination to get inspired. Above all, it’s your own experiences, positive thinking, hope, your courage to think that “Yes I can succeed”, your tendency to apply genuine effort make you a successful person.

This is my entry for Theme Thursday 

We writers can hugely get inspired by some really interesting prompt sites (Listed in the side bar of my blog), that help us to unlock our imagination and stir our thoughts. They provide us vision to think and write :)
