Who am I?

Don’t get so excited I haven’t lost my memory, so kill the stupid joke in your mind and continue reading. I was just randomly thinking about this question ‘Who am I?’, obviously i gave myself an answer with my name. But that’s not what i was thinking about, its more than that.

I repeated myself ‘I am Nitesh Goel’. But still the question was the same ‘Who is he?’. Is he a good person? What does he do? Can he bring a smile on someone’s face? Do people like him or being with him? I thought about it but didn’t have all the answers. But i thought about finding them.

But how will i find them? Who am i to decide if i am a good person or no. I don’t really know if a got a smile on someone’s face lately. People are losing touch so i am not really sure if they like being with me or just avoiding me. Then i thought the only way to find the answer is to create them.

In todays fast life everyone is so busy that we don’t really bother to look around and know whats happening. We don’t have time for friends and families. Relationships are becoming weak, lovers don’t really love each other infidelity has grown a lot. We are not able to see the tears in the eyes of our loved ones or maybe we do but don’t have time to wipe them. And many more such problems which we keep reading on messages and facebook and a have thought which lasts for not more than 2 seconds, so we know these problems. But have you done anything towards it?

It reminds me of the famous story of Alfred Nobel. ‘Alfred Nobel was the inventor of Dynamite. He once opened the newspaper and was astonished to read his own obituary, titled ‘The Merchant of death is dead.’ The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. And he lived his rest of the life in serving people and after him it was that Nobel Prize started.’ The question still exists to us “How do you want to be remembered?”. I think its time start our work towards how you want to be remembered. (i am not talking only about death but also behind our back).

Start by doing some simple things like these -:

Give a complete stranger a smile everyday (Even if he/she might think you are insane) it will help you maintain yours for the day.

Apologize to a friend you had fought with. Even if he/she doesn’t accept it, you will feel happy that you tried well.

Call up a friend whom you haven’t spoken to in a while and soon you’ll realize you will have many friends again.

Help elderly people, it gives the best feeling to make you happy.

And many more things like this. But not just reading it, Do it.

So for now till you get your answer of “Who am I?” give me a reply if you feel i am worth it. Good bad doesn’t matter, let’s get a reality check on this. You know me a lot or little doesn’t matter just write a few lines about what you think I am. Message me if you don’t wanna comment important is you do it.

Where are you going?

Its a Happy Happy New Year...

First week of the year almost comes to an end... so what have you done? Surely, like me even you must be giving yourself enough excuses for NOT completing your last year's resolution and deciding to may be giving them up or completing it this time any how. Well that is something we'll keep doing all our lives.....

But have you thought where are you actually going?? Are you following your dreams or just walking on a path decided by others for you or may be you dont even know where you really wanna go.
I recently met a couple of people who are doing good at their work, but when i asked them 'where are they going?' they didn't know, because they actually never thought about it. They are following the lame rules laid by the society to merely being settle down in life. 'Settle Down?', what the hell does it mean anyways. Getting a good job, working all day in closed cabin, sit on facebook in the night liking and commenting on others photographs and go to sleep. I mean do you really wanna do it? ask yourself. And if not what have you done towards it, I know all may be having the same cliche reasons of family pressure and others doing earning more and blah blah blah. But what about your dreams? The ones which you saw during school and college. The ones which you lived with your friends. Have you never thought about them?

But to my amaze many people I met don't have those Goals. They are just walking, not knowing where they gonna reach. Atleast I am happy and proud that I am chasing my dreams. I read it somewhere 'Once a man was walking on the road and he saw a wise old man sitting on a bench, he went to him and asked "where does this road lead to?", the old man asked him 'where did he wanted to go?' and the man replied "I dont know." The old man smiled and said "Then how does it matter where this road lead to...".' When you dont know where you wanna go, all the roads are the same, Leading you to nowhere.

Think for a second if a goal post is removed from a soccer game, will it still be interesting? First thing we''ll ask is "what the hell are they playing for". Ask this same question to yourself "What are you playing for?". Have a goal and dream big. Only then you can start working for it else you will be still in those millions who are 'JUST WALKING'.
