The Developing Minds

Far from the busy world, where there is zero signal, where the word 'busy' has no existence, that is where I've gathered these invaluable life lessons from a wonderful experience. The story began with a single thought - Why don't I start my new year with an adventurous trek? Kedarkantha trekking is considered one of the most visited and beginner-friendly winter treks. This blog is intended on the life lessons that I've learnt from my trekking experience. Before that, why should you even bother to study further? Maybe one of the good reasons is to expand your perspectives. Let's start. Lesson 1 Expect The Unexpected. We never thought that we can't reach the Kedarkantha peak because of heavy snowfall, this is completely unexpected. But then, it is just a travel scenario. Similarly, we frequently come across so many unexpected situations in our lives. Sometimes, the intensity of the situations will be in a way that it questions your existence. What I intend to ...

2020 is a year of shocks, surprises, learnings and a lot of introspection for me. I know with the arise of corona pandemic, many people have lost their lives, lost their jobs, lost their own families but still, there are a lot of things we need to be grateful for. For example, at this moment, you are alive, you are reading this, your senses are working properly and above all, your health is perfectly alright in spite of the pandemic.  Now tell me, how many good things are there that we need to be grateful for amidst of corona chaos? Every year is an experience we gain for the future, experience from the mistakes that we've done, experience from the way we have responded in a particular situation and experience from our self-fulfilling prophecies. So like everyone else, this year has really taught me some valuable lessons which I believe are the first step to achieving my goals. So I thought, why not share my experience of this year with people so that they may learn something out o...

  My sincere apologies to everyone for me being inconsistent in the blog. I am swamped with my semester academics as well as with personal issues. I try my level best to be consistent from now.  Okay then, let's start this comeback with a powerfully packed post. We all make resolutions, we all make up our mind so strong that our desire to adopt new habits and the want to change seems to be at the zenith. But somewhere along the way, we lose our motivation to try and get stuck in a helpless and baffling condition. This post is intended for everyone who has lost their track of what they are doing and to refill their minds with unlimited hope and enthusiasm. Don't stress yourself too much because no matter how bad the situation is, it will change. When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They are sent to promote, increase and strengthen you. Embrace your challenges. Never regret a day in your life. Good days give happiness, Bad days give ex...

A gentle disclaimer, This post is only written on the basis of my thoughts and perspectives. It is not intended to hurt anyone's beliefs and traditions. Okay, let's start. We study at prestigious universities, we get the highest paying jobs, we get lots of money which is well enough to buy every single thing for our own comfort, our parents will be very proud of everything we have achieved and a lot more praise from the society. Are these enough for your life to be successful? If you said no, you're on the right path. But if you said yes, Think again! Today we are in the year 2020, let's move a 1000 years back. Because you were born in the 20th or 21st century, you are struggling to become a doctor or an IT professional. What if you were born 1000 years ago? Well, you might opt fishing as your career, right? What did this symbolise?  Our purpose in life, which means it is the purpose which we should fulfil to make a living for our life keeps on varying.  Today, you are ...

Birthday vibes are so pure, light and naturally beautiful to feel. Wishes and blessings from our family and friends make us feel happier throughout the day. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, we share our birthday moments with our closed ones via Whatsapp/Instagram status. We feel that something is pure in the environment. Why do you feel that way? The same house, the same people, the same environment and the same you. But why do you feel a little different on your birthday involuntarily? Ever thought about it? The truth is, our mind is in a pure and elevated state which is making us see every external thing beautiful. When every external thing or person seems to be beautiful, there will be only happiness. We ignore the fact that our birthday is a new beginning. We ignore the fact that our birthday is a fresh start. We ignore the fact that our birthday is a new opportunity given by the supreme power. We simply enjoy the day with our family and friends, eat and drink to the p...

Before going further, Let's be clear with the definition of Success. Success doesn't mean just to achieve money, fame, respect. Success means to achieve whatever you wish in the right way by being emotionally well. Now that you are clear with the definition of success, let's move further. When our mind gets disturbed by others progress and achievements, this unbearable feeling is termed as 'Jealousy'. People think that it is so natural to get jealous when we see someone who is much better than us. Let me give you an example. 30 years ago, Blood Pressure/Diabetes is not natural. But why do we say that it is so natural to get BP/Diabetes now? 20 years ago, Stress is not natural. But why do doctors say that it is so natural to get stressed now? Similarly, many years ago, Jealousy is not natural. But why do we say that it is so natural to get jealous now? The answer is pretty simple. BP/Diabetes became more and more common among almost everyone. Stress became a part of ...

It is human nature to want everyone around you to like you. Be it for your talents, your intelligence or even your nature. Unfortunately, we start believing that this acceptance from others defines us. We start relying on their opinions. So much so, that we start tailoring our lives around their expectations. This makes us lose out on who we are and tends to increase stress and worry. So, let it all go and learn how to ensure your well being and establish your own identity. Keep perspective   Another person’s opinion is always based on their thoughts and belief. Never on yours. Only you know what is best for you and your life. So yours is the only perspective that matters. Focus on what matters Focusing on important issues stops you from worrying about what others will think. It helps you at looking at the larger picture. Most people don’t pay attention People in general, pay attention to themselves only. If they are giving an opinion on your life, it is probably just in passing an...

Have you ever figured out why you get angry? Have you ever realized what is it that causes you to get angry? When something you want doesn't happen,that is what makes you angry. So you have this urge,' THIS MUST HAPPEN'. When it doesn't happen, you get angry. Now, remember, This universe is not for the fulfilment of your desires. Are you the centre of the universe? Is the whole world rotating around you? Then why should your desires be fulfilled all the time? It doesn't have to be fulfilled, right? Always keep two possibilities in mind- 'My wish may be fulfilled, may not be fulfilled'. If your wish is fulfilled, you will be happy. You should learn to be happy from now on even if your wish isn't fulfilled. Why should you be happy if your wish isn't fulfilled? Because you got another chance! Life is about only the perspectives which we see. In this way, when you make peace with both sides, you don't get angry. You should release this intense urge-...

In this modern era, we have medicines for almost all diseases. Yet, illnesses are rapidly increasing. Why?  Because complications are not in the body, complications are in the mind. Complications first get created in the mind and then those complications occur in the body. If complications in the mind are removed, complications in the body will be easy to remove. Let me drive you into this topic with a suitable example. Suppose your close friend came near you and said that he wants to commit suicide because he is unable to get good grades. What will you do? Will you allow him to suicide? No, right? You will convince him by saying that 'That's not the correct decision, You should work even harder, Don't take negativity into your mind', right? Now just stop for a second and think 'Why can't we convince ourselves to be stable in difficult times?' If we could give inspiration and courage to our loved ones, why can't we inspire our own mind in difficult times...

This is the topic which I am very curious to write about. In fact, I have learnt so many new things which I haven't explored before. On a brief note, I'd like to say that it's not a piece of cake to achieve the right thought process. It requires constant PRACTICE. After all, Mastery is impossible to achieve without constant PRACTICE! Before going further, I'd recommend you to read this post which describes the power of thoughts. Here is the link to the post if you haven't read it yet- https://sairohithkaranam.blogspot.com/2020/05/power-of-thoughts.html Let me drive you into this topic with a suitable example. If we want to maintain a healthy and fit body, what will we do? We will look upon the quality and quantity of food that we are consuming, right? Similarly, what if we want to maintain a healthy and fit mind? We need to look upon the quality and quantity of inputs that we are feeding into our mind. Some inputs like what we are watching, what we are ...

Thoughts have the ability to create wonders and even destroy those wonders. Before going further, I recommend you to read this post first. https://sairohithkaranam.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-painful-truth.html The thoughts that pass through your mind is responsible for almost everything that happens in your life. The world is neither good nor bad, it completely depends on the way you see it, and that way is created based on your thoughts in your mind. Let's understand this more with a nice example. Bank robbery is a crime to people other than thieves. But, the same bank robbery is a good thing to thieves because it's feeding their tummy! The thought process of thieves and others varies in this case. Similarly, we have our own unique thought processes. We must make sure that our thought process is ethically right and morally permissible. That's where we can differentiate ourselves from thieves. Where does confidence come from? Where does hopelessness come from? Ob...

Love, Respect, Care, Opinion. Nowadays, these are all expected by someone. Let me drive you into this topic with an example. I bought a black shirt because I love black colour and the design on it. Now I asked one of my friends whether he liked the shirt. He said that it would be nice if I had bought a white colour. Now, the collision happened between my likes and his likes. When this incident happened, my mind keeps an impression like 'He's bad/His taste is bad/How fool is he!' in the sub-conscious mind involuntarily. You won't even recognize that this is getting stored in your mind without your intellect's permission! Now replace this scenario with the new scenario - I bought a black shirt because I love black colour and the design on it. I wore it on the occasion of my friend's birthday party. A friend of mine who saw me there told me that my shirt was awesome. Now, collision didn't happen between my likes and his likes. When this incident ha...

Ever thought of this question? This 'why me?' question arises in our mind in many circumstances. But, the most probable circumstances are- Why did I fail again even after giving my best, why me? Why did this thing happen to me, why me? Why am I not able to concentrate, why me? Why am I feeling low, why me? You will come to get clarity by the end of this post. Let's dive in. If life gives you whatever you want without any challenges, then how will you experience the real taste of the word 'life'? Life means not only happiness but also sadness. Life means not only victories but also defeats. Life means not only comedy but also a tragedy. Everyone in this world whoever they are, starting from a successful entrepreneur to a beggar in the streets, everyone has their own and unique happy and sad moments. Sometimes you don't get what you want, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve that, it means that you deserve more than that! ...

Feeling low? Don't even know the reason what is making you feel low? Indescribable about the low feeling which you are experiencing? Don't worry! You will figure out how to come out of this by the end of this post. I'm not going to write a full-length post on this. I'll try to make it as short and crisp as possible.         crux points: Meditation. Trust me, this first step is so important to come out of this feeling. Meditation means, removing all the unnecessary thoughts and focusing only on the good thoughts. In this process, you will actually try to figure out what's bothering you, what's making you stand behind everyone and so on. Maintain a personal diary and note down all the thoughts which are coming while you are feeling low. This step worked for me a lot. This way you can track your progress about what is making you feel low and you, yourself starts writing down the ways to solve them. Stop Expectations! This step is so crucial. It could ...

The recent outbreak of coronavirus has changed every one of our lives upside down. Everyone's at home.No matter if he is either rich or poor, everyone has to stay at home. Ironically, I can see real equality in India right now!          I bet you this is the time which comes once in a lifetime. You won't be able to get this amount of leisure time once all of this messy situation is gone. Let's make productive use of this time by simply following these 5 things.

Be thankful to them always, no matter what! Make a clear vision of your goals. Identify your goal→Plan your goal→Work for your goal. Explore the fields that you haven't explored before. Personally, I have really no idea about blogging! Right now, I'm just giving it a try. Meditation and understanding spirituality. I won't say that you nee...

Life is a mixture of happiness, sadness, success, failure and many Did you ever saw a person who's been successful from his birth to death? Did you ever saw a person who doesn't know the meaning of sadness?? well, absolutely no!! Everyone at some phase of their life must go through these circumstances. If not, undoubtedly their life is incomplete.
