What have you got to lose?

Hi Readers,

Again, I am back to you. Their is always a strange feeling now that whenever I do visit my blog...I do think of you. There is some sort of energy that pulls me to write something. As far as I am concerned the blog is not meant to teach you anything or show you some great writing talent. It is for me to give some sort of diary of what I feel...or what I have observed.

Circumstances...we always use circumstances as an excuse to get away from reality. What is reality? Reality is what we are living right now in the present. I know that nothing can affect me when I am writing. No personal feelings can come in between what I write on here. I can go through a death, birthday and any other event in life and still remain myself. Why should I lose myself to circumstances? I have to be myself in every circumstance and yes, my emotions need to be shown to, they need to come out too.

Don't allow any circumstance to deter you from what you want. If you want something, then do go for it! What have you got to lose? Who knows if you will get to live another day, forget a day...another second?! Life is just as unpredictable as the famous British weather. When I wake up every morning, I thank God for another day that I can make yet another attempt on achieving my dreams. Maybe to achieve my dreams, it may look as if I am being selfish and inconsiderate, but my honesty remains. I do not do anything where it cheats another person. I always look at how it may benefit someone. I only care about the benefits of others. If I didn't, I wouldn't be writing on here for you!

I hope you once again enjoyed this post. I will write again to you tomorrow. Take care all and enjoy each moment of your day and night!

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Today is everything...tomorrow is nothing!

Hey everyone,

I hope all is well with everyone. I am sorry that I have not been able to write during the weekend. I have been busy and trying to overcome the sadness of a sudden departure. Death is something, we all cannot run away from and this weekend has taught me a lot.

I was on the train coming back from Birmingham, which is a good 100 miles away from London. For the first time, since my birthday I had cried. I only cry when I am alone. I never cry around people because I believe I have to be the shoulder of support and I feel humbled that I can do that.

I thought about my Uncle that had passed onto the heavens and it struck me, how life is so short. We run away from people, from the world but what do we achieve? My Uncle lived his live to the max, he lived a complete life. The fact is, why his life was complete was due to his openness and his complete self. He showed everyone what it truly meant to be a true human being. I know how unrealistic it sounds but it was truly realistic. The man that I used to see every Sunday when I was from 11 years to 16 years, was the realistic human being. He loved everyone and he showed it.

I had learned one thing from this whole weekend that today is everything. Make sure you enjoy every second of the day and try and make the most of any situation. Personally, we can all gain and lead a life that can please everyone. Whether it is my words on here, or the words I say to people in person, I just want my love to remain true. I want my eyes to continue to speak of love. I know that I have to be there for the people I am emotionally attached to everyday...they know who they are. I will not give up on them and that is my special link with them. They could do the worst to me but I will not show them the worst of me but only the best of me. Life is too short for the worst things, life is only worth the best things. Trust me, today is everything and tomorrow is nothing!

I hope you enjoyed the post and please do keep reading. I think this post is fairly long, so I do apologise for that. Thank you for reading!

Lots of Love,
Rahul N. Singh

Which direction?

Hi everyone,

I am a little early today in writing this post as I have a busy weekend in front of me. I hope everyone is well and are keeping themselves happy. Just to inform you all too, I will not be posting anything tomorrow as I will not have any Internet access. However, I will write again on Sunday.

6th February is a special day for me...for a few reasons. Maybe later on, I will tell you why it is. It is a day of my own personality reflection to see who I am and what I am doing. Am I right or wrong? Why haven't I done this or that? So it is a day of reflection more than anything else.

I realised how I dislike being ignored. I do not know why. But if someone ignores me, deliberately or by accident, it always hurts me. I feel that it is never right to ignore someone but then again, sometimes people have something against you.

I always wonder if I have done something wrong, I don't think I do but people seem to pick on little faults that I have apparently made. Should that keep me down? I don't think it should. If people accept me for who I am, then I guess it makes this world an easier place to live it. I am fortunate to accept people for who they are, good or bad, whether I like them or dislike them. When you dislike someone, it can be very hard to unconditionally love that person or those people.

Within love, I can see a load of dimensions and that is what I find great about love. At one time, I did find that even hatred is a type of love. But it is a negative type of love. As I mentioned before, people always have time to hate. Well, that must mean they love to hate. They don't love to love. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

This post seems to be everywhere at the moment, I do not know where it is heading, I guess that is my emotional state right now. Stable but not sure of which direction to take. As usual, it will be a quick decision...I always take haste decisions...sometimes I need to calm down and think over and over again.

A different post I think today, maybe not but I feel different today! Anyway, I will write to you again on Sunday! Take care all!

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Emotions need to drive us forward...

Hi everyone,

I hope all is well. I must apologise that I have not kept up with posting everyday, things have been really tough with me at the moment. However, I am slowly getting back to routine. Hopefully by next week, you will see me regularly writing again.

These past few days have made me think a great amount on the concept of death. Possibly, one day I will share with you. After hearing about a person close to my heart passing away, it makes you think twice about the concept of living and how we do live.

I look at how quick we are to hurt someone but yet, why don't we ever show our unconditional love or our honest feelings for people? I remember a spiritual saint saying that 'People have so much time to hate but hardly give time to love.' This saying is true. We can make any reason to be against someone, to make others feel hurt, in pain and see them suffering. However, when we see progress, happiness, we begin to harbor feelings of jealousy and anger. Why do we do such things?

I always feel at times of death, it is best to speak out than keep your feelings inside. I am glad that I have a few special friends that I can speak my feelings out to without thinking twice. I feel in this world which is full of people in their own little 'closed' worlds, it is about time we opened up our little worlds and show everyone how great it is.

I hope and I do pray to God that everyone in this world can open up and not be ashamed of showing their feelings. In a world, where emotions are not important but it is emotions that drive us to be the people that we are or are meant to be.

I hope that I have the strength to be the person that I am meant to be. I know that life is short and is full of surprises. But I want my life to be short of surprises but full of life.

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Part Two: Appreciation for Shah Rukh Khan - Humble before and after.

Hey Everyone,

The second part to the Appreciation for Shah Rukh Khan is here. After the success of the first part, it is only honourable to continue this. Hopefully, it should be a 10 part series for Shah Rukh. I am trying to think of who to honour and appreciate next, so please if you want anyone for me to appreciate, tell me and I will definitely consider it.

For years, we have known people not only in the entertainment industry but people all over the world, who lack one basic element of human qualities...humility. Any one bit of praise or success, we create an ego. Not a positive ego but a negative ego.

This negative ego is those things such as pride or being big-headed. Acting as if you are higher than everyone else around you becomes a norm. Is this the reason why we should be successful? Is that the true way of enjoying success?

Shah Rukh Khan is well-known for being humble. Now, despite his massive success, he has not allowed his ego to take over him. He has kept to his roots and has realised one certain aspect...that success is not always guaranteed.

Being humble in a fraternity that demands arrogance. We see it everyday on our screens of certain actors who make a few hits at the box-office and then claim to be number one or to be the King of Hindi Cinema. Shah Rukh has recently given three back to back blockbusters but has not allowed anything to make him arrogant.

Could it be that Shah Rukh is acting humble? I do not think he can act for over two decades. it is very hard to act humble so honestly for the past twenty years and that is a fact. Plus, I know personally that there are a massive amount of fans of Shah Rukh, who admire him the most because of his humility.

Shah Rukh has been on the top since 1995 and after bringing in so much success not just for himself but for the Hindi Film Industry, to remain like one of us has been a truly remarkable example of how to be.

To end this post, it would be great to see a little insight of Shah Rukh with his own words:

“Everything isn’t made for me alone. God has given me enough, I’d better be happy and contented.”

This clearly shows that Shah Rukh is not at all greedy and is happy for other people to be just as successful as he is. Despite this world becoming a 'dog-eat-dog world' and a rat race, it is very easy to be instable and fall in the traps of the negative aspects of being successful. However, we have seen that you can be at the top of any success ladder and that there is no excuse for us not to be humbled with what God or a Higher Power has given us.

I would like to point you all out to a scene from 'Luck By Chance' that Shah Rukh did a cameo in. I am sure you will see what the real Shah Rukh Khan is within the industry!



For those that do not understand Hindi...here is the translation of the conversation between Farhan and Shah Rukh Khan.

SRK: congratulations! I've been hearing very good things about you.
FA: Thank you so much.
SRK: Come have a drink with us. C’mon. Your real work starts now. Actors work apart from acting. It's really to choose the right kind of role. Think about it - your first film chose you. But from now on, you should choose. You.
SRK: Are they your friends?
FA: Yeah, right now. For the moment. They were in school with me.
SRK: Oh. Hi. You're not going?
FA: No, I’ll meet with them tomorrow.
SRK: Vikram, stardom is a cocktail; fame, power, money, all that is dangerously intoxicating.
FA: I can't even imagine what it must be like for you.
SRK: It's insane. But one thing I learned from life. Don’t forget those who knew you when you were nothing. They are the only ones who’ll always tell you the truth. Like those…who are here….for the moment….who were there from your school days.

Thank you for reading and watching the video above and I am looking forward to writing the third part next week!

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh
