The Solivagant Vibe

        "Change is the only constant", this quote left a lasting impression somewhere deep down in my heart.Never did I acknowledge how life changed around me until I started to look through this glass. Lately, I shifted from Mumbai to Canada, I knew this was going to happen, after all I was planning for it . I didn't quite realise what was happening until the first night I had to sleep alone, without having my favourite quilt, without my own pillow and without hugging good night to my grandparents. It was in that moment that I realised , I have moved out and this is a change, a process I've been anticipating for; subconsciously.          It has brought me to a point where I know everyday is going to be a new beginning , a new learning experience not just of the external environment but me as an individual . I have started to realise that this is the most naive I could ever be again. Change isn't easy. It takes a while to realise, to accept and the moment we

Living in Mumbai, this had to be an experience to go through ! Well, not the best thing to be happen, but yes, a teacher in disguise. Cutting it short, I was suffering through dengue Some time ago, while it seemed all drowsy all day and my eyelids hardly kept open , I had a wandering mind. My parents have always said, "no matter how negative something gets, no matter how bad a situation is ; there is something to learn ." While my platelets dropped and fever kept shooting, I realised , 3 things. These 3 things will sound basic, VERY BASIC, and they are undoubtedly basic. But, given a thought they hold a lot of importance. Those three things were --- 1] Water is your BEST FRIEND ! Yes, all those friendships of childhood and school days and college days etc . etc, on one side but water being your best friend ; on the other side. No matter what, water is the cure .  Honestly, I used to lag when it came to drinking water, this decently resulted in low hydration . But, w

 The other day, while sitting in the class room I experienced something very different, different from the usual. I felt a rush of adrenaline like never before, I felt my heart beating to its loudest and my face turned pale . I was sweating in an air conditioned class room. This is exactly , when, I knew something is not right. I had my results that day and although I had faith I would clear the semester, I still experienced this.  What I experienced was ANXIETY. Anxiety - a feeling of worry, unease and nervousness for a certain outcome. Depression - a feeling of severe despondency & dejection.  Something which we go through at different levels but yes we all go through this, my reason was results, yours might be something else. But, we all experience it . Anxiety or Depression for that matter is not an out of the world condition, it is just that nervousness, that doubt, maybe lack of confidence for a particular outcome that leads in a gush of adrenaline to flow throug

Hi! Today, the topic that I've chosen is something which each one of us has said, heard or experienced  at some point of time. But, a shot of good Espresso made me wonder, do we actually know what priority is ? I have often heard people say "I am not your priority " or "your priorities have changed ." My simple question is , do we prioritise tasks or do we prioritise people ? And if we prioritise people, does this mean that they are tasks ?! Hahaha, indubitably not ! We list down tasks in the order of importance and the one at the top is known as priority. Yes! Its's that simple and generic . Our priority's change depending on the situation and urgency of the work or task. Relationships, whether formal or informal, new or old, love or hate, are not ; rather can not be termed as tasks. Of course , some relationships are more important and sacred than others. We give them more time and dedication , but that's because of the love and growth

Hello. I'm back with a new topic today. ''PERCEPTION and CONCEPTION''. So what is this ? Well, Perception is the root cause of a conflict , but this is not the only cause it is being partnered by something even more bad and that is - Miscommunication. Perception is one's awareness of a situation through the senses , which affects his/her decision. We often become a little selfish and fail to understand what the other has perceived or is aware of. Perception provides an overview of the situation or an idea and fails to give a detailed understanding, where as, 'conception' provides a detailed understanding . There is a thin line, in between, what one has perceived and conceived. It is often the stage where a a gap is left and a conflict is brewed. The only possible way out of this situation is - Clear Communication. Perceiving is just the surface, where as, conceptualising is reaching the sea bed. It is often observable that we react on situat

Hey! My name is Shreya . And this is life through my words. 6 months of thinking and here I am, my first blog; a little clueless , a little nervous, but a hell lot of faith on my words & thoughts. Its a big world, with billions of people , yet there are times when this big world with 100's of complication's seems to be a small one! Ironical , isn't it? Well, of course it is, at least I feel so. So what next??? I've named my blog, " The Solivagant Vibe" heavy name isn't it? In the search of finding a name which suits what I truly am & how life turns out to be to most of us, I came across this heavy, amazing and quite unique word : SOLIVAGANT meaning - Solitary Wandering . Yes, I know there's an eye brow being raised right there ; is she a loner ? Has she got no friends , no family ? Is she the neglected one ? Well the answer to all of these questions is "NO" (a big no) , I'm not a loner , I have friends ( a lot of them
