Stop running behind Mirage

One evening I was just walking on the street and thinking deep about what is going around in this world and meanwhile I saw a guy walking across the street, he looked like my friend, I wasn’t sure because of less light but then he passed under street light and I found that he is my school friend. So I called him and we bumped in to the discussion about what’s going on in each other’s life.


Well, he told me about tragedy of his life, that how he was chasing a girl (a life partner) but that girl wasn’t even respecting his love. My friend is an awesome person, very down to earth and very humble. A gentleman. But he was going through rough phase of his life and one day he just left her and decided to reclaim his life.

We talked for around 20 minutes and then he departed and I continued walking on the street. And below is what I was thinking that night……

Even after trying hard and putting your best efforts, If people don’t find their self comfortable with you then I don’t think there is any meaning to make them feel good. It really doesn’t make sense to please them. Because they really don’t care about your love and affection. I will call this situation as running behind mirage, it never comes in your hand and drives us crazy and makes us feel that we are lacking something. The funny part is the person whom we are chasing is not even interested in us or do not even recognize that how much we like them or love them. And this adds more frustration.

I guess, we should stop running and look behind that,

- How many people are running for you,

- How many people are taking their time out to be with you,

- How many people are just ready to make you feel good,

- How many people are just striving to make your day brighter and bring smile on your faces

These are the real and true people who value your Bond, friendship, relationship and commitment. They always like to be with you. They are the people who are ready to stand by when there is a need.

All I can tell you right here and right now is that.

“Stop Running behind those Mirage and Look back before your loved one calls you Mirage and stops running behind you”

- Embrace them with a tight hug and make them feel that they are special
- Tell them that they have a unique place in your heart

By doing this you are not only breaking the chain of running behind those Mirage people but also you are valuing a true loved one’s (parents, brother, sister, friends and others) of your life.

Just remember following sentence which can really give a food for thoughts.

“Success can be bitter if there is not one to share happiness, and failure can be sweet if there are real friends who can stand by you"

Thanks,

HI Guys, I am back with my new blog. This blog explores all my feeling and my mindset when I am on the road-trip or traveling across the world.

Let me start sharing my experience when I get all set for my roadtrip. When I leave my home, it gives me feeling of freedom. I feel like I am soon gonna get the wings and I am gonna leave this earth forever and will be traveling to a new planet or new universe. That feeling is unique and incomparable. Its the feeling of relief. its a feeling of ultimate peace. I become so excited just because I will be leaving the worries, woes, tension and all problems behind me. And for some time i will enjoy peace, i will feel my heart and i will experience all new world.

My flight from Mumbai to Delhi AI 101. Liked their Services.

Let me describe you what I feel when I am in Flight.

When I board the flight, the very first thing that I do is praying god for giving me an opportunity to fly across the worlds. I overwhelmed god’s help with gratitude. It brings a smile on my face. Once I am done with my prayer, I sit and relax. I close my eyes and i try to listen to my breathing and my heart beats.

Now let me describe you what I feel...

• I feel like a Bird, I feel that I got a wings and now no one can stop me reaching Sky
• I feel like a Ocean, I feel that now i dont have any Coasts
• I feel like an Air, I feel that I don’t have any Boundaries
• I feel like that Traveler, who has left behind everything in pursuit of happiness

(A Flying bird free from this planet and making his own path. I shot this at HariDwar India.)

It makes me feel that, I am all away from my daily routine, organized schedule, a time table. No blackberry, no more business emails, no more business calls.

It makes me feel that I am all set to reclaim my own life. I am all prepared to embrace nature in me.

It makes me feel that I ready to indulge myself with new world.

And Yes, It’s a great feeling.

Just imagine that the problems of life, woes, tensions, issues, mistakes, and all those things that makes you dull and depressed, is actually taken away from your life for 10 days. And those 10 days are filled with spirituality, relaxation, fun, enjoyment, Love and peace. Can you Imagine, how your life would be. You will be at the peak of your happiness. There will be spark in your eyes. A positive aura will flow around your body and whole ambiance will vibrate with that.,

That’s the feeling I am talking about. I feel the same way whenever I am set for traveling. Be it for 1 day or for a month.

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, 

But by the moments that take our breath."

So take out some time and indulge yourself to do something that you haven’t experienced. Get inspired today and On this New year take the resolution that you will explore a new world around you.

Let me end this blog by one simple but very powerful line.

“Make most of your life, because you don’t know of next birth”

Note: Please drop your feelings and thoughts via comments. And also share this blog post with your friends.

Kind Regards,

Shyam Gohil :)

Personal time in Pune

Hi guys this blog is very special and dedicated to some people who made my Pune visit very special and added lots of fun and made enjoyable.
Check out my travel information

• Travelled more than 150km to and fro by Air conditioned Volvo buses
• 3 nights and 4 days visit in Pune from 17th Oct to 20th Oct
• Business visit

Before I start writing anything, let me just tell you that it was one of the nice business cum pleasure trip I had. All 4 days, I was just with myself. Nobody to care for, nobody to look for, no more house work, all free time just with me and for me. So much time of relaxation, so much time of introspection. Those 4 days I was pampering myself.. LOL.. yeah it was cool. And guess what I was not with my laptop, facebook, gmail or not even any travelling videos. I was back to my traditional stuff. Just a pen and a paper. That feeling rejuvenated me. Took me to my old school days where I used to carry those stuffs all the time. I should say, I was dating myself. Or it was just “I, me and Myself”.

Day 1 was a long a day. Woke up at 5am. And still I had a fear of losing my bus. Reached at nick of time and started pune journey in Volvo bus from dadar. In 3 and half hour I was outside my company gate. It was Monday morning in I was in my casual outfits. Jeans and party shirt. I was kind of strange guy in old city. But I was like “it doesn’t matter” and with that I moved in to S2 to see my team. I am sure they must have thought “Monday maniac is here”. LOL… ok lets go further. Then I met my team and I was completely delighted. It actually gives really good perception when you meet in person rather than talking over phone from thousand miles away. Meanwhile I got my accommodation and I decided to get n to business attire. I got my room, got fresh and then back to business. I started my training and ended with lots of discussion. Day 1 was good. As I told you it was very long, I checked in my room at around 10PM. But I was still active.

(Morning breakfast in pune guest house. healthy and good food.)

Day 2 was pretty. Weather was cheerful. Sun shined beneath clouds and nature was surrounded by dim light. I got good chance to know everybody. Since I had a good company of my colleague for breakfast, coffee, lunch breaks and lot more. All are unique with their quality and personalities. Lots of talk of here and there. There was not a single session that we didn’t discuss anything. Discussions on movies, actresses, cricket, food, diet plans, America and what not. For me, tea break was the best part. I still miss that. Day ended with the text msg from Kajal announcing pot lunch. I was like “What?” I was curious to know what will be in the menu. And guess what they hid menu from me just for a surprise. It was cool idea. 

(View from my guest house at 8AM)

Day 3 starts with the thought of pot lunch menu. I was still figuring out what will I get in pot lunch without onion garlic. Due to some work, I headed office early and they make me wait a lot for lunch. I waited almost 2 hours but it was worth waiting. Finally I got the menu that Kavita and Kajal bought veggies, roti and pani puri (Indian spicy and everybody’s favorite recipe). They both made with out onion and garlic veggies for me. I was so much delighted with that. Abhijeet (AB) bought fried rice and Kingshuk bought sweets for desserts. The food was awesome. I really appreciate the extra efforts taken by 2 girls and AB’s mother. Getting something readymade from walmart is very simple but to wake up early in the morning and preparing food for everybody and no onion-garlic food for me was a big deal. I know how much stressful and time taking is that. I couldn't stopped myself for thanking them for wonderful pod-lunch.

The experience was amazing. All team members/friends on one table and lots of food to eat. That’s incredible and worth experiencing. I could see the harmony flowing around everybody. A very big thank you Pune team for such an awesome celebration. They made my day.    Day got over and started packing my bags for Mumbai.

(it was 6 in the morning. Had a hot tea and ready to leave Pune office)

It was the most enjoyable business trip I ever had. On 3rd day I felt like staying for few more days. This business trip was full of fun, enjoyment, lots of learning and being friend with others.
I would like to introduce my team…. Ohhh.. I would rather call friends (this connects me a lot) so my pune friends are: Kingshuk, Praveen, Abhijeet, Adil, Kajal, Kavita, Dipti and Ramesh. Thanks you so much guys for making this business trip most memorable.

Kind regards,

Shyam Gohil
