Sometimes in life, opportunities come knocking at your door, but instead of giving your best, you either don’t try hard enough or don’t try at all. It’s only when that opportunity fades away that you realize its significance and how much it meant to you at the time. That’s exactly what happened to me last year. I had the chance to become the club coordinator of Kafila, the mental health club at my college. While I did contribute during my tenure, it was far from what I had expected of myself. When the time came to apply for the position of club head, I simply gave up—I didn’t even fill out the form. Now, as I sit and write this, it’s the first time in my life that I genuinely regret something. If you ask me, one of the worst feelings in life is regret. It comes when you let an opportunity slip through your fingers and do nothing about it. Failed love may hurt, but the deepest pain often comes from the regrets—the chances you missed, the paths you could have taken but chose to ignore. Y...

It's akin to starting from scratch, feeling that chaos when you're at ground zero. When a child is born, they know nothing; they begin experiencing everything, finding thrill in the simplest of things, whether it's seeing grass for the first time or taking those initial steps. It takes time for them to learn and understand what life is all about. When I was learning the guitar, I often found myself in that frustrating zone where progress seemed elusive. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't master that one chord. One day, I sought advice from Harshit bhaiya, the former club head of Kafila and an accomplished guitar player. He said, "Once you've mastered the guitar, you'll miss the excitement of learning." It reminded me of what J Cole once said: "There's beauty in the struggle and ugliness in success." I resonate with that deeply. Similarly, when I started college, I was like that introverted child again. I knew nothing about how to inte...

  What is the first thing you do in the morning? Do you appreciate that you are alive, or do you pick up your phone and start scrolling through the reels? Is the first and last thing you do in a day using your phone? Nowadays, we consume so much that we forget we are human beings, not truly enjoying the moment, but on Instagram, we portray ourselves as the happiest people.When was the last time you were without a smartphone? If you can't remember, it's time to unplug from your smartphone for a while and be with yourself, appreciating the life you've been gifted. Don't brag about things you don't have. If you constantly want more, you may never feel truly rich. Being satisfied with what you have may not make you wealthy in terms of money, but it can make you rich in contentment because the desire for more is an endless cycle.Once you start living in a minimalist way, you'll begin to appreciate the beauty of having less. You won't be preoccupied with the next ...

One day, you will wake up, and it will be your last day on Earth. How will you spend "What type of death would you prefer : a sudden one, such as dying from a heart attack, or an accident, or being shot in a terrorist attack?" Or the second one, where you suffer from health issues for months, knowing that death is approaching, and with each passing day, your health condition is declining. One day, your family rushes to the hospital, and you die there." These types of thoughts run through my mind when I am free and just thinking about death. "So, what's the point of life when you have to die one day?" In Christianity and Islam, when someone dies, they put the dead body into the grave. But in Hinduism, they cremate the deceased. Christians and Muslims can visit the graveyard, be with the deceased person, talk, pray for their soul, and leave flowers at the grave.But in Hinduism, when the body is cremated, there are no remains of the person who has died. This m...

  So how was the last day Priyanshu ?? So for the first time in my life I was traveling with a girl or you can say I was on date with a girl for first time in my life. No she is not my dream girl or anything. She is my college friend , her name is Ashi and I can bet you that , she is the most friendliest girl I have ever seen in my life and this thing is really true that, she is not like the rest of the girls she is like , she does not have ego at all. So yesterday it was our last exam of my mid semester , which I blunted and I think most probably I will fail the exam . So after having the exam , as me and Ashi planed that we both will go to Delhi and visit around some places (she is from Delhi).   So we went to Rajiv chauk and just we roamed around Palika bazar for and hour and then we decided to eat something then we ate ice cream and after that , we ate momos and just roamed around the Palika and then we both parted away and she went to her home and I went to my friends pla...

When was the last time you went to a visit a place, restaurant, or went to movie /concert all by yourself ,most Probably never. That was true for me until this March. But When I came to know that my favourite DJ Martin Garrix was coming to Delhi on March 11th, the first thing that I did after hearing that news was to book a ticket for that event. And when that day arrived, I was really anxious and nervous, because it was the first concert of my life and I was going on my own.Because the place where this event was supposed to happen was very far in gurgaon. My plan was to go from university hostel to Gurgaon attend the concert and catch the last metro around 11pm and then come back to my neighbor palce in Delhi . Long story short - I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the concert, and I can say it was one of the best nights of my life.We usually of go out with friends, family for movies,resturants etc.But if you go alone, that's the real deal.  I mean you'll definitely s...
