Day 17/30

You fall, you get up, you fall, you get up, you fall, you learn, you do better than you did before. The best lessons are learnt from failures and mistakes. You also learn to empathize with others, you learn to not be judgmental with others, you grow.. It's really a blessing in the long run. So, any time in your life, you're going through a bad phase, or failures, just know that it's making you better. It'll be hard, of course, but that's what's making you better and stronger, and eventually you WILL succeed. Success is basically getting back up after failing. Keeping at it! I'm definitely grateful for all of my failures and glad that I made the mistakes I've made in my 26 years. They've made me a better and stronger person. So, thanks thanks thanks to all of my experiences of failures and mistakes! Here's to failing some more and making a few more mistakes in life, but also learning from the same. :)

Day 16/30

The reason why we are sitting and chilling right now, safely roaming around in our country, it's because of these brave people at the borders. The selfless people. The ones who sacrifice their lives fighting for our safety and protection. Take a moment to appreciate and be grateful for these angels. It's the least we can do. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to these brave hearts and their loved ones for being so selfless and for bringing such greatness in this world! :) 

Day 15/30

Since always I've been interested in observing people. When I meet people I am curious to know what their story is. When a person says "I like to read", I am more interested in knowing why they like to read, what they like to read, and why they read what they read. You know what I mean? So basically I'm fascinated by stories. That's also why I'm fascinated by Movies. When I watch a movie, I attach myself to the characters and I feel like I'm living his/her life through the movie. I love watching movies because I get to experience different stories/different lives of people. Also, I feel that, in a way, I get to know more about the director or the writer of the film. When a director is making a movie, most often than not he/she has something related to his/her own personal life in the story .. and that's what seems very intriguing to me. I'm glad such people exist, I'm glad movies exist, so people can tell their stories and inspire others through this form of art. I hope people keep making amazing movies and continue to share their awesomeness. =) 

Day 14/30

Behind every great/not-so-great idea, there's this. Inspiration. It's in every thing, person, animal, .. around us. Anything could inspire you at any given moment. It's because of inspiration that great things happen like beautiful movies, paintings, photographs, music, etc. I thrive on inspiration. I'm sure you do too. This project has been inspired from Leah Dieterich, she was inspired by her mother, .. it's a chain. It's an amazing thing, and the best thing is all of us have the power to inspire. You might be inspiring someone to do something right now, without even knowing that you're doing it. But when you realize you inspired someone in a good way, it's such an awesome feeling, isn't it? This is a tribute to all the things, people, music, experiences, movies, .. that have inspired me to do good things with my life! Thanks, thanks, thanks! :)

Day 13/30

Everything. Music means everything and more to me. I cannot imagine living in a time where it didn't exist. Absolute blessing.. it takes you to another world. A world where everything is beautiful. Makes me feel all the feels in extremes. It inspires on another level, zen level. Thank God/Universe and mankind for making music happen. THANK YOU for the best gift ever! So grateful to be living in this age, where music exists. Talking about music, THIS GUY though. Legend. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

Day 12/30

For all my fellow Indians, only one word, six letters, SWADES! For the rest of you guys, the video could explain at 6:14 and 6:33 .. =)  Electricity that we take for granted. People study under street lights at night, because they aren't as privileged. I can't even imagine what they must go through during the summers. Feel grateful, so grateful. It is a luxury for so many people to have electricity in their homes. We are just sitting here cribbing about how Netflix India doesn't have the shows that other countries have. Ugh! Anyway, point is feel blessed and privileged, I know I do. 

Day 11/30

Being able to connect with you, right now, through a screen (this blog) from one part of the world to another part of the world .. it's MAGIC! It's magic if we told someone from the 1800s about this. It is still a miracle for me, because it's genius. It's Technology! This is debatable if we start a whole Technology- a boon or a bane thing. But, that's not what we are trying to accomplish here. We're here to look at the bright side, to be grateful, to count our blessings, .. And technology is definitely one of the biggest. Getting food/ clothes/furniture/ you name it .. delivered at our doorstep at the click of a button? Brilliant stuff! So, this one is for all the techies, who made/make our lives easier. Thanks, thanks, thanks! :) 

Day 10/30

The following quote by Anne Frank is more than enough to explain why one must be grateful for nature. “The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”

Nature has the power to make you forget the troubles of every day life. It makes those issues look so trivial once you're out there, walking, observing, really appreciating it for its beauty. SUCH A BLESSING to be a part of it. 

Day 9/30

This is for us. You and I, the good eggs (yes, we are). The human race. We have got to be grateful to have each other too. The people who make this world a better place. Who care, about the environment, who care about other PEOPLE. By people I don't just mean our relatives and friends, I mean strangers inclusive. SO, thank YOU for being one of us. Thank you, for making people believe there's good in the world by being the good in the world. Thank you for making me believe there's still hope. Thank you for making this world a little better every day! I'm grateful with all my heart and feels. *Big hug* Yay, humanity. :)

Day 8/30

Dreams, passions, talents, ambitions. Stuff that makes you go crazy and excited both at the same time. Our calling.. Things that make our lives interesting. Passions give our lives a purpose. "The things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow them." So grateful to have something to wake up for and look forward to, every day! :)
