🌿 The Trishanku Syndrome — When Success Feels Like a Trap 🌿

  The Trishanku Syndrome:  When Success Feels Like a Trap!! Have you ever achieved everything you once dreamed of, yet felt something was missing? Or spent years chasing stability, only to wonder—was it really worth sacrificing your happiness?   Success is meant to uplift, yet sometimes it feels like a gilded cage rather than a gateway to fulfillment. This reminded me of the tale of King Trishanku—a story that mirrors the modern struggle with ambition.   The Story of Trishanku:   In ancient scriptures, King Trishanku longed to ascend to heaven with his mortal body—an impossible wish. He sought Sage Vishwamitra’s help, who attempted to create an alternate heaven for him. But the gods, led by Indra, denied this unnatural act.   As a result, Trishanku was left suspended in the sky—belonging nowhere, neither in the heavens nor on earth.   Does this feel familiar?   So many relentlessly chase success, mistaking movement for progress, push...

Still Held by His Love: Father's Day 2025 He may not be here, but he’s everywhere. In the quiet strength I carry, in the values I hold dear, in the way I choose happiness over mere success—his presence remains, guiding me, shaping me. I lost him when I was just 15, yet time never stole his lessons. They whisper through the smallest gestures, etched into the choices I make every day. Whenever life feels overwhelming, I sit before his photo, talk to him, seek his wisdom. And somehow, even in silence, he answers. His guidance, like an anchor in life's storms, reminds me how deeply he shaped my path. He taught me that happiness isn’t something to chase—it’s something to recognize, to hold within. I embraced this truth, letting joy find its way to me. Yet, I often wonder—have I always seen it, or have there been moments when, like others, I searched for a reason to smile, only to let it slip through my fingers? हम हँसने की वजह ढूँढते रहे, और खुशियाँ हाथ से फिसलती रहीं...

The Happiness Paradox: The Push & Pull of Head vs. Heart !!

  The Happiness Paradox: The Push & Pull of Head vs. Heart !! Life often presents an invisible tension—a constant push and pull between logic and emotion. Do we follow practicality, or do we listen to our inner voice? Some believe emotions hinder success, suppressing vulnerability in favor of rationality. Others recognize the depth of emotional intelligence, using feelings to forge deeper connections, purpose, and meaning. Which One Should Rule? The truth is, there is no single victor in this conflict. Your beliefs, your mindset—these are yours to define. But the real question remains:  Are you truly happy with whatever governs you? Inner Happiness—The Ultimate Measure:   True happiness isn’t dictated by achievements, relationships, or external validation. It is an unshakable inner state—free from dependencies and resilient against life’s unpredictability. When happiness is rooted within, it remains untouched by success or setbacks. You no longer wait for a...
