Hi Everyone,
It feels like ages since I last sat down to pour my thoughts onto this digital canvas. Life has a funny way of keeping us on our toes, doesn't it? But here I am, finally dusting off the cobwebs of my neglected blog and diving back into the realm of storytelling. Memories are like the threads that weave the rich fabric of our lives. Some are vibrant and colorful, like fireworks lighting up the night sky, while others are more subdued, quietly anchoring us to moments long past. Yet, regardless of their hue or intensity, each memory holds a piece of who we are. Some memories are tied to places—the college canteens or cafes where we shared our deepest secrets, the winding roads of a far-off land that whispered tales of adventure. Others are etched into the fabric of time, marked by dates that hold special significance—the day we celebrated, the anniversary of a life-changing decision or even a sad moment that impacted us badly. And then there are the tangible reminders of our memories—the trinkets and treasures that serve as physical manifestations of moments long gone. A faded photograph tucked away in a dusty album, a worn-out ticket, a handwritten note that still brings tears to our eyes. But perhaps the most precious thing about memories is their ability to transcend time and space. They're not bound by the constraints of distance or circumstance; they live on in our hearts, weaving themselves into the very fabric of our being. Whether the people and places that populate our memories are still with us or have long since departed, their imprint on our lives remains indelible. As I sit here, penning these words, I'm reminded of just how deeply intertwined memories are with our sense of self. They're like the threads of a finely woven cloth, anchoring us to our past while allowing us to reach for the sky. And as I embark on this journey of rediscovery, I'm filled with a sense of gratitude for the countless memories that have shaped me into the person I am today. So here's to memories—the places we've been, the dates we've marked, the gifts we've received, and the countless other moments that make up the tapestry of our lives. May they continue to enrich our journey, guiding us through the highs and lows with grace and resilience. Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of this journey. Stay connected for more stories, reflections, and musings on life's beautiful tapestry. Until next time, keep embracing those memories and savoring each moment along the way. #VivekPanicker #VivekBlog #Blog #WanderingMinds #FreeMinds #Wandering #Thoughts #Memories #EmbracingMemories #RediscoveringLife #JourneyOfReflection #TapestryOfMemories #GratitudeInMemories #CherishedMoments #EmotionalJourney #WritingCommunity #BloggersLife #StayConnected

Hi Everyone!!! I have few friends who often face a question that, “Whom should they listen to? Who can tell them how to achieve their goals in life?”, I have a simple answer “Listen to Yourself” because no one knows you or your goals or your situations better than you yourself. There may be a hundred people to give you suggestions, more hundred to comment on you and many more to criticize you, but if you think your decision is right according to your situation then go with your decision. Others might understand your situation but they may not feel the same for that situation as they are not facing it. You should be clear with your goals in life, your situations, your strengths and your weaknesses, because only these things can help you take a proper decision. To achieve your goals you should use your strengths to overcome your weakness according to the situation in front of you. During this, many will criticize your decision or comment on your ability or suggest you few more points to focus on, take all those in a positive way and use it to develop your decision to have a more stronger impact in the outcome. There are many who fear that, “What others will think and say?” “What if they make fun of me in front of others?”, but let me tell you the one who have decided to make fun of you or blame you wrong will always do the same irrespective of the fact that whether you stood with your decision or you didn't. People will always think the way they want to, no matter what. Suppose, if a person thinks wrong about you and you try to explain to that person that, you didn't mean it in that way then they might say it's your excuse, as they don't want to change their perception about you. If that person wanted to change his perception then he would have discussed with you about it before confirming his perception. The one who really cares for you would always come and discuss with you and the one who just wants to blame or criticize you will always believe in his or her perception. What others think about you doesn't matter, the only thing that matters in the end is the outcome of the decisions you have taken. Basically, you have to understand your situation which will help you to use your strengths to overcome your weakness and achieve the goals of life. So, just “Listen to Yourself” because you know yourself much better than anyone else. Hope you enjoyed reading this post on listening to yourself. Do like, comment and share this post. Also, do let me know your views in the comments below. Thank you #VivekPanicker #VivekBlog #Blog #WanderingMinds #FreeMinds #Wandering #Thoughts #ListenToYourself #YourDecisions #FacingChallenges #Yourself #LearningFromLife #LifeGoals Hi Everyone!!! Every person has to face problems in their Life… some have lots of problems and some have less. Many people get depressed because of this and commit big mistakes in Life. People don’t want any problems in their life, which is impossible as everyone has their level of problems. Problems are considered to be a negative aspect which can shatter their lives or which if worsens then can affect them or their loved ones. I agree these problems in Life hurt us… irritate us….. leave us helpless…. But, they also teach us a lesson of our mistakes because of which the problem had actually started. Every problem gives us a message that, where did we go wrong and what we didn't do right at the right time. We need to take these messages as a lesson and remember it in our whole life, so that we don't repeat the same mistakes again. I believe that, nothing in Life happens without any reason, everything happening around us is planned by someone sitting up there and it is planned in such a way, that you understand how to deal with life in all your future circumstances. To give a perfect shape to a steel product, the steel is heated and melted down; but a small mistake in the mould can deform the whole product shape. Same can happen if we miss the lessons from our problems, next time the same problem comes in front of us then we won't be able to handle it, instead we will run from the problem so that it doesn’t affect us again. This should be avoided, don't run from the problems, face it and solve it. It might affect us for the time being but will help to guide us in our future. Every problem we solve and move ahead, will give us a new Learning for future. These learnings can help us or our loved ones when same problem comes again. So, don't see the Problems as a Negative thing, think it as an exam in which if we pass then we enter the new level and we grow further in life. Learnings and Experiences are the Teachers of Life from which you learn yourself and build yourself. So, face your problems with full confidence and overcome it, you will surely have a learning from that which will help you in your life. Hope you enjoyed reading this post on Problems in Life.

We all see dreams, isn't it? Sometimes good... Sometimes bad, but at the same time we enjoy it. Technically speaking Dreams are defined as, “A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.” But do you think dreams as just that much? I don't think so. According to me there are 2 kinds of dreams; one which we see when our eyes are closed and we are in deep sleep, and the other one is when we see it with open eyes. We all have seen these 2 kinds of dreams. The dream which we see while sleeping, is not in our control; we see many things out of which some we remember and some we don't, some good and some bad, and some we don't even understand whatever we saw. Many times it would have occurred that we saw a dream in sleep and it happened in real life after few days or months, that time we get shocked and confused that how I saw this in dream. Honestly speaking, I had many such dreams. It makes it clear that how much depth these dreams has in our life, it can see our future and show it to us. But, we can never control it because we can't see those parts of future which we want to see or know in detail. It's beyond our controls. On the other hand, the dreams which we see with our open eyes, which is widely known as Day Dreaming, is completely in our control. These dreams start when we start to think in depth about a particular topic or situation. Many things supports these dreams to make it large like your ambitions, goals, view of looking life and it's problems. But yes, some of these day dreamings and day dreamers are the biggest success and inspirational stories we have in front of us. Day Dreaming makes your ambitions and goals clear in front of you; by analysing the possible situations and it's solutions. It acts like a fuel to your life, making you move ahead and achieving your goals; some for yourself and sometimes for your loved ones. It can be never said that dreaming is wrong, even if it's day dreaming, but yeah do check the environment around you before day dreaming. Everyone should believe in their dreams, it helps you to move ahead in life and achieve your goals. Both the dreams has its own impact in our life and we should take both of them seriously. In my life, I see night dreams as a mystery which is connected to my life and day dreams as a guide to solve those mysteries by which I can achieve my goals and move on. Dreams are the most powerful element, it can make your visions reality but only when you work towards your dreams. So don't ever stop dreaming, have lots of dream, think about it in depth, to solve the mysteries and achieve your goals. Wishing you all a wonderful day & night dreams.

All my friends & colleagues do ask me how is Vishu celebrated? What you all do on this day? Do u have the traditional sadya on banana leaf? And many more such questions. This blog post is an answer to all those who wanted to know it. Vishu is considered as our new year and as it's widely believed that our whole year will be positive and good, if we spend the first day of the year in positivity. So, we celebrate it as much as we can to make it a positive day with our family & friends. It includes many things to complete a vishu celebrations like Vishu Kani, Vishu Kaineetam, Vishu Kodi, Vishu Sadya and many more. The word Kani means that thing which is seen first, so Vishu Kani means that what you see first on Vishu. As it's believed that seeing something joyful and positive can make you experience the same, Vishu Kani is prepared in every house as an auspicious ingredient of Vishu Celebration. It is prepared one night before Vishu. A special flower is used to prepare Vishu Kani without which it's incomplete, it's called as Vishu Konna, it only blooms during the season of Vishu. Vishu Kani includes a tray called as Uralli in which auspicious items are kept such as rice, golden cucumber, coconut, jackfruit, Valkannadi or normal mirror, golden yellow Konna flowers, golden yellow banana, golden yellow mangoes, gold or silver coins, golden jewellery, coins or currency notes, and an image of the god Vishnu. These items change as per the locality changes in kerala, so could find some additional items in some areas. On the early morning of Vishu, elderly person in the family or mother lights up the oil lamp called Nilavilakku kept next to Vishu Kani, then goes to each member of the family one by one, blindfolds and wakes each one up, walks them to the front of the kani, then releases the blindfold so one can see the setting, and then greets the Vishu day. On the morning of Vishu, everyone gets ready and wear new clothes bought for the occasion of Vishu, called as Vishu Kodi. The elderly person in the family or the one who earns his income gives money to others as a tradition called as Vishu Kaineetam. Childrens in the family enjoy bursting crackers. Then everyone with the whole family, happily visits temple to offer prayers on the auspicious day and seek blessings from god. It even makes the day more special when we meet many more friends and relatives in the temple and wish them for Vishu. Once back from the temple, the whole family helps each other in preparing Vishu Sadya, which is basically the traditional lunch in banana leaf. It includes many dishes in it giving different flavors to the food like sweet, salty, sour, bitter and many more flavors. These traditional festive recipes, that combine different flavors, are a symbolic reminder that one must expect all flavors of experiences in the coming new year, that no event or episode is wholly sweet or bitter, experiences are transitory and ephemeral, and to make the most from them. After having the traditional lunch in banana leaf, all the family members and friends sit together and start playing different games which makes the moment more memorable and happy. We are celebrating the first day of the year in such a way that the whole year would be in the same way, happy and joyful with our family and friends, enjoying each part of the race called as life with them. This is how we celebrate Vishu, in kerala and also outside kerala, with full joy and happiness with our family and friends. You all also enjoy this auspicious day with lots of fun and happiness. Wishing you all a very Happy Vishu. Let me know how you enjoyed Vishu in comments below. Do like, share and comment your views below.

First of all thanks to all of you for your amazing support and response for my last two blog posts of “Learn Life in Lifeline of Mumbai” & “Goa Diaries”. It's your encouragement that has helped me in writing my next blog post. This time I am trying something different, till now I have only written blogs on specific topics. Now, I would like to introduce a new concept, it's named “Wandering Minds”. As the name suggests, this blog post would include topics related to any incident or news occurring. And would not necessarily be periodic. Our mind is active all the time 24x7, like when we sleep our mind doesn't stop thinking that's why we dream. Mind keeps on wandering in its own nomadic ways, through different thoughts; examining, assuming, conceiving and judging. Wandering Minds works in the same way, expressing and presenting my viewpoints on different topics as my mind wanders through these. So let’s free our minds to wander around and explore different thoughts and topics, which can help or guide others to think in a different angle about life and have a better living. Do share your wandering thoughts with me in the comments, I would really love to know them. Let's share our wandering minds to bring up some unique thoughts or some solutions to the existing problems. Do share the blog and comment your views below. Thank You #VivekPanicker #VivekBlog #Blog #WanderingMinds #FreeMinds #Wandering #Thoughts |
