WHO ARE YOU?
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
Ask yourself this simple QUESTION: “WHO AM I?”
“WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? HOW AM I? WHY AM I HERE? WHAT FORM IS ME? WHICH IS MY PLACE? WHERE DO I GO?”
Journal these questions.
BUT, WHY?
Because THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS WILL AWAKEN you.
The constant battle between the mind and the heart, society and you, your dreams and goals, your expectations and actions, your success and failure, now and past and again future, etc must be draining each second, each day.
LET’S TRY TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
YOUR PAST DOESN’T DEFINE YOU. YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR FUTURE.
DID YOU SMILE TODAY? Look at the mirror now and recall when you smiled the last time (for yourself).
“Jitna bhi try karlo Bunny, life mein kuch na kuch to chutega he...toh jaha hain, wahi ka maja lete hai…”
~ Naina
Thinking about the future, worrying about the next plan, to-do lists, dreams, and luxury…drain us at a certain point.
Repenting and living in the past, cursing our deeds, learning from experiences, and suffering from pain…we forget about the present.
DO YOU THINK ABOUT “WHAT NOW”?
AND NOT “WHAT NEXT”?
WE FORGET TO FOCUS ON THE PRESENT AND ARE NOT SURE ABOUT IT. BUT AGAIN WE PLAN AND PROCRASTINATE FOR THE FUTURE TO TAKE PLACE.
First, let’s fix the present.
The future is not now, not in your hands now, but yet to come. Live better today for a brighter tomorrow.
We can’t go back and correct the past. The puzzles are there, some solved, some unsolved, some settled, and some unsettled.
YOU DEFINE YOURSELF. OTHERS DON’T. YOUR SITUATION DOESN’T. THEY ONLY REFLECT AN INSTANCE OF YOURSELF.
You can be rich today, poor tomorrow, and middle-class the next day. The day will vary, people will come and go, BUT
YOU HAVE TO BE CONSTANT AND CONSISTENT.
It is okay to give up, relax, rest and again GET UP.
ONLY YOU KNOW YOURSELF IN AND OUT. YOU CAN’T CONTROL OTHERS BUT ONLY YOURSELF. THAT’S ENOUGH.
So, to know yourself better, give time to yourself.

Sit in front of the mirror or your own comfortable space. Take a piece of paper and jot down all your thoughts about YOU.
It can be anything and everything. No JUDGEMENTS. Just WRITE.
Talk to your inner self. Your smarter self.
Your MIND is not YOU. It’s a part of YOU. So, YOU gotta take control of it.
Once it starts taking hold of you, be ready to face the consequences. Impulsive decisions, emotional turmoil, digestion cohesion, nausea, insomnia…
Once your paper has your thoughts, try mapping them one by one. Try one question at a time.
You will notice that the answers to your thoughts are known but you don’t act according to it because the mind is the OBSTACLE.
Train the mind, drain the thoughts.
As humans, we STOP EXPRESSING. We have adopted Suppress. We feel depressed. If you don’t have someone to hear you out, your smarter self can help. We always require an ear. But, busy schedules are unavoidable. So, let’s try the hidden solution.
listen to your voice. Forget the mind, heart, soul …
Do more of what makes you happy and less for others who forget you once you are away or take rest in peace.
WHO ARE YOU? DON OR VED? MONA OR MONA DARLING? WILL YOU GET ‘TEJA KA SONA’?
Did you ever think why Ranbir chose not to reveal his originality in reel and in real and just flow with Don's script? And how difficult it became after a certain point in time to pretend to be the best salesperson?
He never dared to face reality. Often, we do that. We fail or rather are scared to face reality. It is not truth or lies but real vs fake, maybe. He knew his story but always ran to that Fakir, curious about WHAT NEXT?
If you recall, how fast he runs and informs his family that he never understood Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Jobs, Family and healthy living. He never heard his inner mind, made a choice of his own, loved himself, his work or his family.
WHO is MONA?
The mirror. Self-realization. The real Ved. She observed, studied, and noticed it all. She knew nothing about him in Corsica but failed to hold back her feelings. That kiss and the tears in Mona’s eyes while returning reveal it all. But,
WHY DIDN’T SHE ACCEPT HIM FOR BEING VED AND NOT DON?
Ved is a society-made version but Don was real. Story-telling was his passion. She knew it much earlier than him. She wanted him to face it before he stepped into the next phase of tying their hearts.
Her rejection was a transition. That struggle, that gap, that presence and that absence were a trigger to get back to Ved with layers of Don.
Accept YOURSELF. Don’t let go of your Tara.
It's never too late. Better late than never. If you don’t like the ending, please change it because it's YOU.
