True Worth


Today ask yourself a simple question- What is the worth of your life on this mother earth?

How long does it take you to get an answer? Do you even get an answer? Should it be taking you this long to get an answer?
The conundrum arises of the fact that the world compares worth as per the Forbes List. Worth is measured in respect of the money you possess. Hence the problem. Is a new born then absolutely worthless?

We are obsessed with giving numbers to everything and then comparing them. Even though we know that we can't give a man's worth only by his bank balance, car, house etc. Yet we give them numbers and even strive to increase them. It is a case where we know everything yet prefer to ignore the obvious for the lust in the darkness.

Even the number crunchers describe the house, the car, the job as an "asset". Now isn't your honesty, friendliness, morality, an asset. If yes, then why shouldn't that form your worth. But how do we measure that. So we take the easy way out and ignore it altogether. Hence, what it gives is only an illusion of worth and is in no way the True Worth.

Your True Worth comes from your inner self. How worthy do you consider yourself to be. Your dignity, integrity, self-respect and above all a clear conscience. A self satisfied man runs after no rankings and yet attains more than other people might. What's agonising is that you can't take away anything from him. He doesn't counts on his money but his conscience. You can't pull him down. None of the politics works against him. All one will end up doing is getting deeper in the darkness in trying to do so.

We must remove the blind folds and realise this simple fact. You are what you make yourself to be. There are no setbacks, no failures, no disappointments if all you do is give your best all the time and go in with a clear conscience. Being honest to self must always be the only priority. All you are answerable to is yourself. So, realise your true worth and let go of the baggage you have been carrying so long.

"The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money."

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...

The Goa Travelogue : Trip of a Lifetime

Our group of friends shifted hostels in the second year and took rooms close to each other and the friendship grew stronger from there with each passing day. Thus was born x0x-ers (3, 4 – 0 – 1, 3) i.e. rooms 301,303,401 and 403. We spent countless hours planning trips, parties, discovering music and other random shit. Goa is a destination every college group plans to visit during their college days. This was one trip we just had to make. After hundreds of hours spent on planning the trip, many last minute changes and one person pulling out we finally managed to make the trip with a bunch of our European friends joining us there for what would be the most memorable trip of my life. I as a writer am incapable of putting in words the sheer fun we had on this trip so most of you would not realise how beautiful some of the moments were. Day 1 I arrived before everyone else travelling from Mumbai. Riding 30 km on a scooter solo from Madgaon to Calungute was a sign o...

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...
