Do You Ever Feel That You Are Taken for Granted?"

 Hey All, Namasthe!!  Here is another interesting discussion of the day which many individuals are facing and I would like to share my way of approach that I believe it will works to  deal for such Individuals.  In the journey of life, many individuals often find themselves feeling taken for granted or exploited by others. This sense of being undervalued or manipulated can lead to a significant emotional toll. However, it's essential to understand that such experiences, while challenging, can be navigated with resilience and faith. Drawing inspiration from the story of Prahladha, who faced immense adversity yet remained steadfast in his faith, we can find a path to manage these feelings effectively. Feeling taken for granted typically stems from a lack of recognition and appreciation for one's efforts. This feeling can arise in various contexts, such as in personal relationships, at work, or within a community. When people continuously give without receiving acknowle...

The Silent Strength of True Relationships

 Hey all, Namaste ! 🙂 Life is full of ups and downs, victories, and struggles. Along the way, we meet countless people, but only a few truly matter. These are the ones who accept us just as we are, celebrate our wins, and support us through our toughest times without ever making us feel small. In this blog, let's dive into why these genuine relationships are the real treasures of our lives and why we should never take them for granted. In the journey of life, we encounter numerous individuals, each leaving their mark on our existence in unique ways. Among these, a select few stand out, offering unconditional acceptance and unwavering support. These relationships, marked by silent strength and genuine care, are the true treasures of our lives.

Have you walked a mile in one's shoes?

  Hey all, Namaste ! 🙂 I was reading the other day, lost in the world of words, when a thought suddenly caught my attention. The realization struck me: how easy it is for us to sit on the sidelines, offering advice and passing judgment, without ever having truly experienced what others are going through. It’s only when we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes that we begin to understand the depth of their journey. Do you agree if I say...In life, it's all too easy to offer advice or pass judgment from a comfortable distance. But "Until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes, you can't understand their journey." Every individual's experiences are unique. What may seem like a trivial issue to one person could be an overwhelming challenge to another. The one who is sinking knows the tough, and it's this intimate knowledge of hardship that teaches resilience and strength. When we encounter someone facing difficulties, our role is not to judge but to l...

Painting the Life with Color and Creativity

 Hey, beautiful souls there!  Namasthe and Welcome back to Voice of Chittan, where I kindle my passion for self-help.  Many times I felt like "   Life is like a box of crayons. You never know what you're going to get, but you can be sure it'll be colorful ." Viewing my life through the lens of an art and painting lover allows me to see the world in its full spectrum of colors, each hue representing a different emotion, experience, or moment. Being an artist, I select my palette with care, so that we too can choose how to paint our life, infusing it with vibrancy, depth, and meaning. Life, like a blank canvas, invites us to pick up our brushes and create something uniquely beautiful. Each stroke of color adds to the richness of the tapestry of your existence, weaving together moments of joy, sorrow, love, and growth into a masterpiece that is uniquely yours. మంచి పెయింటింగ్‌కి వివిధ రంగులు ఎంత ముఖ్యమో,అలాగే జీవితంలోని ప్రతి అనుభవం మన జీవితాన్ని రంగులమయం చేస్తుంది...

Self-Persecuting/ Compassion. What is your Choice?

Hey all Namasthe and welcome to another blog on Voice of Chittan.  I was reading the Journey of successful women. Then asked myself on “ What is the definition of Success?” “Does someone else validate it?” You all know and It is a bitter fact that Judgemental exists everywhere, how to sail the ocean of expectations!!!!  As women, we often find ourselves wearing multiple hats in our lives - caretakers, professionals, partners, friends - the list goes on. In the midst of fulfilling these roles, we sometimes forget the most important person: ourselves. It's time to stop the cycle of self-persecution and embrace self-compassion. Let us understand the power of self-acceptance and the freedom it brings.  Here, I share some of my opinions and insights in the hope of inspiring others to take their stand and reclaim their sense of self. One of the greatest burdens we carry is the weight of our own insecurities. We constantly strive for perfection, fearing judgment and rejection if...

Authentication Vs External Validation

Have you ever found yourself constantly seeking approval and appreciation from others?  Do you feel like your worth and value are determined by the opinions of those around you? In one of Trivikram's Movies, there is a dialogue where the lead role tries to impress his people but always he receives resentment from his people.... finally, he understands that it is not possible and says   "Now I feel liberated knowing that no matter how well I perform, you won't be impressed." It's easy to fall into the trap of seeking approval and appreciation from external sources. From social media likes to professional accolades, many of us find ourselves constantly craving validation from others. But what if I told you that true fulfillment lies not in the opinions of others, but within yourself? The truth is, that the lack of fulfillment within us often drives us to seek approval and appreciation outside. We become dependent on external validation to feel worthy and valuable. B...

A Tribute to Unspoken Love- చెప్పలేని ప్రేమకు నివాళి

 As I sit down to write this blog, memories flood my mind, and emotions swell within me. It's been exactly one month since I last felt the warmth of my father's touch, one month since I affectionately pampered his shoulder. Little did I know then that it would be our last moment together, our last exchange of love. Today, my heart is heavy with the weight of his absence, yet it is also filled with the memories of the time we shared.  I remember that day vividly –  I gently massaged his tired shoulders. It was a simple gesture, but in that moment, it spoke volumes. It was my way of saying "I love you" without words, a silent exchange of affection that transcended any language barrier. But now, as I reflect on that memory, there's a bittersweet ache in my heart. There were so many things left unsaid, so many feelings left unexpressed. I always wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, how grateful I was for everything he had done, but somehow, the words never foun...

తండ్రి మరణం ,కూతురికి నేర్పిన పాఠాలు

మాతృ గర్భం నుండి సముద్రం గర్భం వరకు, తల్లి  చల్లని ఒడి నుండి మృత్యు మాత యొక్క అగ్ని ఒడి వరకు జరిగే ప్రయాణంలో నీ ప్రశ్నలు నీవే, జవాబులు నీవే, పోరాటం నీవే.. బతుకు నీదే.. చావు నీదే. పుట్టుక, మరణం రెండు ఒంటరే. ఈ రెండి మద్య నువ్వు పంచిన స్పూర్తి.. అదే నీ జీవితం జీవితంలో అత్యంత ఘర్షణాత్మక సంఘటనలు మన వ్యక్తిత్వంలో బలమైన మార్పును కలిగిస్తాయి.  Losing my father was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. But you know what? It changed me. It taught me lessons I don’t think I would have learned otherwise. It’s like life whispered, "Here’s the truth—take it, hold it, and grow with it." One of the first things I learned was how important it is to stand on your own.I realized I had to become that for myself. Independence isn’t just about surviving—it’s about finding strength you didn’t know you had. And trust? Oh, that was a big one. I’ve learned to be careful with trust. Not everyone deserves it, and that’s okay. But here’s the thing—I haven’t closed myself off. I’ve just beco...

నాన్న కు చివరి వీడ్కోలు లేఖ

In the wake of my father's death, I found myself navigating a grief, but within that sorrow, I discovered profound truths about the essence of life itself. As I grappled with the enormity of my loss, I came to realize that death is not just an end, but a poignant reminder of the impermanence of our earthly existence. It unveiled the fragility of life, urging me to embrace each moment with a newfound appreciation for its fleeting beauty. In the silence of my grief, I unearthed the importance of cherishing the relationships that enrich our lives.

Through the depths of my sorrow, I discovered an inner resolve to honor his memory by living a life of purpose, resilien...

Yes, he must be a father of a daughter.

 In the corridors of your school, faced with scolding, would you resort to threatening by saying, " I'll tell my father"? Confronted with abuse, would you gather the courage to admonish the wrong doer, knowing that your father stands as a shield?  In the face of eve-teasing, would you dare to slap back, fueled by the confidence instilled by your father's strength? He is the soldier to protect you.  As you scribble the worst strokes on paper during your childhood, did you ever notice the day your father brought drawing books, envisioning an artist within you?  He is the one who trust you before you have gained self-esteem on yourself.  A passing comment about your favorite color—did your father embark on a citywide search for that perfect dress? Your casual words means a lot to him.   When seeking the best college, did your father endure nights in uncomfortable places just to ensure you had a smooth admission process? He always wanted the best to give ...

Love and Forgiveness: A mother's way of life

Namasthe all,   We all are in a world where words often reign supreme, my mother taught me the profound power of love and forgiveness through her actions, not her literacy by modern standards. Though she may not have been able to read or write, her wisdom eclipsed any academic measure. She lived her life embodying the essence of selflessness, always placing others before herself. Even when faced with criticism or neglect from relatives, she remained steadfast in her resolve, never wavering in her commitment to love and serve. Her kitchen was a sanctuary of both nourishment and resilience. Whether her culinary creations were met with praise or indifference, she bore the burden of disappointment with grace, understanding that true fulfillment comes not from external validation, but from the act of giving itself. Endurance does not mean that they are weak... because they forgive mistakes with strong love.. In her quiet strength, she exemplified the principles of karma yoga, worki...

The circle from the womb to ashes

Death ..No No..a thought of death itself imparts valuable lessons—reminding us of life's impermanence. Neither promotions nor status endure. I rarely thought so far on this " What is permanent? ".  I am trying to understand through practical experience that " Nothing " Is permanent except the Changes in Life.   It's essential to contemplate the state of our minds on our deathbed, where Mother Death awaits, taking us back to her lap as we return to the ashes, mirroring our origin from the mother's womb. Life, a fleeting journey, teaches us profound truths through the lens of death's inevitability. In its impermanence, we find the futility of chasing promotions, comparison and social status. The essence lies in contemplating our state of mind on the final bed, where Mother Death awaits, completing the circle from the womb to ashes...a poignant reminder of our cyclical origin. Live purposefully, for in understanding life's brevity, we find the wisdo...

మరణం - లయం అవ్వడం

Namasthe. Have you ever paused to ponder the fleeting beauty of life? Consider the quote, "We meet but briefly in life, if we touch each other with stardust, that is everything." How does this resonate with your understanding of the impermanence of our existence? కలిసి భొజనం చేయడం, మన వాల్లతో నవ్వు మరియు కుటుంబ బంధాల నిండిన సాయంత్రంని ఊహించుకోండి. ఇప్పుడు, సాధారణ సంఘటనలు అసాధారణంగా మారినప్పుడు పూర్తి విరుద్ధంగా ఊహించుకోండి, కానీ మీరు ఎప్పుడూ ఊహించని విధంగా. రెప్పపాటులో అన్నీ మారిపోయే ఆ కీలక క్షణాలను మీరు ఎదుర్కొన్నారా? సాధారణం..అసాధారణంగా మారిన క్షణం గురించి ఆలోచించండి -  జీవితం యొక్క అనూహ్య స్వభావాన్ని బహిర్గతం చేస్తూ మీరు అలాంటి ఆకస్మిక మార్పులను ఎదుర్కొన్నారా? The phone call that announces a departure, a loss – a stark reminder that nothing in life is permanent. How do you cope with the shock, the chaos, and the surreal scenes that follow such moments of profound change?

Embracing the Journey: A Path to Deep Transformation

 Namasthe!  In your experiences, how do you approach the inevitability of missing people? Can you view it as an integral part of your narrative, recognizing the impermanence of connections? Examine your emotional baggage. Are there grudges, jealousies, or fears anchoring you down? How might releasing these negative emotions create space for personal growth and positivity in your life?

Embracing the Rollercoaster: Lessons Learned on Life's Journey

 Hey all, Namasthe  Welcome to the Blog " Voice of Chittan ". Life is an unpredictable ride, filled with highs and lows that shape our journey.

Surrounding ourselves with genuine, supportive individuals forms a safety net during challenging times. These authentic connections provide solace, encouragement, and a sense of belonging, turning the journey into a shared experience.
