The testimonies of time

Aaah!! Winters, the time for multiple layers, To forfend you from the perception of cold. To Obscure the true self within, And present the fake that you've now sold. The sensation of the jarring snowy wind, The inkling of truth endorsed shame. You don't fancy the flu and the cold, You don't fancy a share of the blame. Damn!! Extreme cold today? Put on an extra layer of sheet, A life trouble needs an instant fix? Add another lie with a selfish feat. Alas!! The virus and cough caught up, Because I rescinded wearing proper layer. My peers took me for granted, As I articulated a truth and was fair. We make mistakes, we wear our layers, We manipulate people and stretch the truth far. But oh so obnoxious if repeated on us, Are you the person you say you are? ~Anurag

Learnings from 2017: * The things that come to you easily, just don't seem to count, until they go away. * Learning to love the journey, instead of focusing on the result yields sustainable happiness in the long run (Blog post in Dec). * Investing in experiences and learnings is far more important than materialistic short-term pleasures. * Being happy and content from within provides you the power to forgive, and ignore the negative around you (Blog post in August). * People are naturally attracted to success and confidence, that's what you "need" to "belong" to the crowd around you. * There's nothing more important than good friendships, strive to make new friends and keep in touch with the genuine people in your life. * "Keeping Busy" is the elixir for most personal problems in life! Just keep busy enough and you'll realize there arent any negativities to bother about. * Your body is like a temple, respecting it is the least
