Why I blog? – think twice nish

There are various meanings to one simple thing. In Mumbai ‘non vej joke’ is a colloquial term for sexual jokes. Similarly there exists many meanings to one simple word like fan. Many jokes are made by using such words. But these words already have various meanings what about other things which have meanings that lay beneath? The smile a car driver gives before he shakes hand with the traffic police means something different than the usual formal handshake.

nishanavgire.wordpress.com has a meaning too. I love to be spontaneous. I hardly believe to think twice before i do something and so at times I tend to take people I love for granted. I have done this many times and hurt many of my loved ones. This name of my website shall help me remind myself that I should think twice and behave myself and avoid to take anyone for granted.

I am obsessed with coconut trees and the reason is unknown. To give my blog a name I went through a lot of names but got stuck with coconutwriter as i am obsessed with both writing and coconut trees. Writing is something I love and coconut tree is something that soothes my eye even as I look at one from my window and write this.

This is the meanings of the names of my website and my blog which were i know weird. But to understand different meanings of one simple thing is not always easy. Like the one i explained of the traffic police where corruption lay the underneath meaning.

I strive to find different meanings to all things in life that i perceive and write about it. This can be stated as my blog motto. 🙂

‘Never compare yourself to someone, You are you’ He said.

My professor explained this common concept I have heard for years now. As he spoke I tried to figure out all the comparisons I have faced so far. To get compared to my elder sister because we look similar being the worst, expectations to score like a ranker and many more. All of these stupid comparisons have stayed with me. But I guess this was last day I would keep it with me as He again said

‘Comparisons kill Creativity’ 5 Fingers can never be same

For a less confident person like me to hear this was such a delight. We can compare, share stuff and learn more but to me these comparisons for years together actually killed me. I am bold and on the go,forever ready to talk and give an opinion but when it came to share what I have always loved to do-my write ups this fear of getting compared killed me. But it was time now to let go of it. The climate outside was peaceful, I could see the coconut trees wave at me, tried to encourage me. As He completed the session I was so sure of sharing what I write somewhere someday soon. He also explained in the session how important it is to love oneself. If we love our self enough only then can we be confident of what we do. Thanks to this Person and This session I was blessed with on my recent Industrial Visit of my first year degree college that I finally decided to write and share my views on regular basis.

Following are the beautiful lines He shared, written by Fritz Perls, which is the ultimate cause for the birth of this blog…

“I am not in this world to live up to your expectations. You are not in this world to live up to mine. I am I & You are You and if we by chance meet, it is beautiful”
