Honestly, I did not want to write anything today. I was feeling weak because of my periods, and I was also upset about something that happened at work. I thought of skipping writing altogether—but then I realized that this is exactly the reason I should write. Writing has always been nurturing for my soul. So here I am.
In my last article, I mentioned that I would write about stories from Vidarbha. But today, I’m not feeling like going there. So instead, I might just bore you with my jabber-jabber—though sometimes, these unplanned thoughts are the most honest ones.
Although I was feeling a little low, something lifted my mood instantly, almost like magic. A guy I dated in my late twenties called me after years of silence—completely unexpected. I was shocked, then surprised, then confused—partly because of the emotions, partly because I was half asleep. I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say much. Still, it felt… nice.
It feels like we lived many lifetimes together in a short span, even though we did not grow old side by side. Something he once said has stayed with me forever: “Su, I lived like a king, and I will die like a king.” He is the man who turned a shy, low-confidence girl into the bold, fearless woman I am today.
Why did we separate? Just the simple truth nothing last forever—relationships included. However, I’m genuinely grateful I got to experience that phase of life with him.
His call after years made one thing clear to me: When you are good to people and your intentions are pure, you don’t really lose people—people lose you. No matter what excuses they give themselves to justify their choices, deep down they know they lost something good. What’s sad is that we barely get 80–90 years on this planet, and yet we spend so much of it hurting each other. For what? Just to feel good about ourselves. The most humbling part is that within three generations, everyone forgets us—and we turn into nothing but dust. It took me long time to look at life this way.
Don’t you find it questionable that academic institutions, deeply embedded in the system, don’t prepare us for real life challenges? No one teaches us how to think in a way that builds the mental resilience required to face the challenges we encounter throughout our lives. Degrees are just work permits, rarely preparing us for uncertainty, loss, or inner conflict.
Lately, I’ve been listening to lectures by some great thinkers who deeply understand how systems work. Prof. Jiang Xueqin is one of them. In one of his lectures, he speaks about marriage in far greater depth—echoing something I mentioned in my last article. His thoughts don’t give easy answers; instead, they make you pause, reflect, and question deeply.
I had also written earlier that I have no interest in becoming a rebel against the system, because rebellion itself eventually becomes part of the system and whatever I become, I prefer to keep it to myself. Interestingly, Prof. Jiang shares a similar perspective.
The truth is, even if you know certain things, you can’t always say them out loud. That’s the reality of the world we live in. Often, people who know too much choose silence. Prof. Jiang, Jordan Maxwell, and Charles Fort are examples of this.
I learn something unsettling: Truth doesn’t always free you. Sometimes, it isolates you.
We live in chaotic times—overflowing with information, opinions, and voices constantly telling us what to think. But what we truly need today is mental resilience, and that comes from mastering one essential skill: how to think.
Sadly, as I said earlier academic institutions don’t teach this. Because when you know how to think clearly, you begin to question everything. And once you start questioning, the system finds it harder to control or manage you—you become inconvenient.
I had small shift in my thought process it's a simple line, but it helps me deal with a lot in life.
“Blessing in disguise.”
This thought has given me strength whenever things went wrong—whenever I had to pick myself up and rebuild. When you learn to transform one kind of energy into another, everything else loses its power.
So, my dear readers, I hope your problems turn into blessings, and that you develop the mental resilience to transform one energy into another.
Happy Sunday. Stay blessed.
And yes—stories from Vidarbha are coming up soon. 🌻
