Thousands thoughts run inside my mind, Scary nightmares keeps me confined. Sleepless nights are all over again, For I think there is no end to all the worldly pain. My heart says relax But my mind says no. My own brain has became my greatest foe. I tend to find peace but failed to find it out, All I feel is to go top of the hill and shout. How to get out of this, the sickening infinite thoughts, Tell the brain to de-stress and ease-off that I ought, ease-off that I ought.

There are two kinds of people: the one you really want to be with, the one who is do-gooder to you. And you are forced to ask:  What in seven heavens have did you like this? And the second are the ones who you feel just like crap and they intrigue you to question the Almighty: Why do these people even exist on earth? The first kind is always close to our heart.  Spending time with them and the time flies. These people are true altruist and benevolent to you. Not that they are saints or something, but they are good for you. They always take a stand for you, even in your bad times. The other, you want dead, yes! Dead-dead. You will happily kill those persons if the judge in the court calls it “Not guilty”. If Karma would not punish you for murdering those people, you would love to kill them. You may not speak up, but you really want to use all the f*** words for them. People for people may change their colors. I think you didn’t get it! Well, The do-goode...

Do you  believe in angels? Do you believe that angels exist? Yes! They do... Angels do exist. In many forms... But we fail to admire them, embrace them, cherish them and rejoice their existence. Here are some moments that made me feel I am surrounded by angels.  When I could not sleep, and mom ran fingers through my hairs That's my angel. When I was hungry and my friend offered food, That's my angel. When I was so demotivated and my boyfriend held my hand, That's my angel. When I messed up and my sister covered up for me, That's my angel. When I was hit and my brother stood for me, That's my angel. When I was sick and my granny took care of me, That's my angel. When I fall and dad picked me up, That's my angel. When I was alone and a stranger became my best friend. That's my angel. Do let me know when you find your angel. Love, Surbhi :)

Don't criticize, condemn or complain: People don't criticize themselves for anything no matter how wrong it may be. Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance and arouses resentment. Let's realize that the person we are going to correct and condemn will probably justify himself or herself, and condemn us in return. When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotions, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. Any fool can criticize, condemn or complain - and most fool do. But it takes self-control to be understanding and forgiving. Instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do. That's a lot profitable and intriguing than criti...

What You Deserve You deserve more of their attention than their phone does. You deserve quality time, not just time. You deserve efforts, not just routines. You deserve to be treated as if you are a priority, not the last thing on their checklist. You are special and you deserve to be the only option. If that is too much to ask, you are asking the wrong person Finding Love Love is not something you catch, It is something that catches you. (most likely by surprise) It is something you fall into, and even when you try catch yourself, its power won't allow to break your fall. Love isn't something you trip into, it is something you prepare yourself to be directed into. Don't Need That You don't need to be prettier. You do, however, need to quit comparing what you see in your mirror to what you see on the television screen. One is reality, one is a presentation. No need to be a little skinnier or have a more perfect body. Those models are products...
