Navigating Life: What if star-gazing is actually about the Sky?

Like most wannabe poets, during their formative years, I have tried to get philosophical, forcing myself to sky-watch, hoping that some stroke of genius will hit me like a meteor from the space, turning me into some sort lovelorn poet. However, that did not happen - obviously, you won't have a seriously blossoming poet blog as much as I do without earning a penny out of it! As time passed, I realized that sky-gazing is actually about the emptiness of it all. There is something about the infiniteness of the setting that perhaps helps people transcend their apprehensions, think in a way that is beyond the everyday struggle. Star-gazing can be astronomical, sky-gazing is more soulful.

Valentine's Day Thoughts: Proposing with an emphasis on making it big?

It is February 14 in 2018 and it seems the Valentine Fever is not as contagious as it has been over the years. Also, found one of my oldest online journals regarding proposing to a girl. Read this and let me know what do you think?

Just read this in the daily today [Feb 14, 2014] – people are booking entire movie halls, screening of new releases at premium rates to get their proposal published on the big screen. It seems that the age of getting the proposal printed on hoardings or placing a hidden Hallmark card popping the big question is quite passe. The emphasis now seems to be on creating a bigger impact, making it a memorable moment and money is not the primary consideration.

DIY Anxiety Management: Need that Morning Sense of Calmness

There is one challenge that has been constantly biting me – the inability to dress up in a calm, relaxed manner when getting ready for the daily drive that leads me to the office. Why? I am a self-confessed, highly embraced, chronic anxiety sufferer, and despite my best efforts, the smallest of changes in plans for the day, from a minor change of breakfast menu to running any small errand that might surface at the last moment, I tend to get a bit agitated. During winters, this feeling is somewhat controlled as I don't sweat as much but during summers, the feeling can be excruciatingly bothersome. To explain this better, I will need to divulge more details about my morning routine too, and the stickiness of it that is also a bit of a challenge. The thing is that I need a few minutes of working in the morning to get in the right frame of mind and soldier up for the day to follow. This is not about gaining muscle or fitting into a muscle tee. This is just a means to an end, as it helps me prepare mentally for things that might bother me and those that have already been marked as problems to solve. Whether I am expected to be a peacemaker or a troubleshooter at home or the office, the morning workout helps me be better at it. But working out comes with another challenge - the sweating and the time it takes to snap out of the exercising mode.
