life is big, but nothing compared to you

This blog is about a song that makes the author realize that life is big but nothing compared to that special person(you).

I am listening to this song called “Chuye Dekho Amay” by Tanveer Evan.

And I love it.

It’s in Bengali but here’s the link to the meaning of its lyrics.

And as I listen to the part where the Tanveer sings “Tumi chuye dekho amay/Tumi chuye dekho amay/chuye dekho amay/amake joriye buke rekhe dao”, I get emotional.

It literally means “Try seeing if you can touch me, try seeing if you can touch me, see if you can touch me, embrace me and hold me close to your chest.”

It doesn’t remind me of any memory. But I can feel it.

What I want to convey through this example is that, life is big, but nothing compared to that person who means so much to you.

Also it doesn’t have to be anything romantic. It can be spiritual as well.

You can sign it to Lord Shiva and it still holds its meaning to a great extent.

Anyways this is a little detour from hope, which is the topic of my blog. But I think it’s fine once in a while.

Thanks for reading this line! It means a lot.

You Know When I Look Up At The Sky – An Original Poem

You know when I look up at the sky
I think of you
When I walk on the ground
I think of you

You know when I am afraid of death
I think of you
When I feel courageous to conquer life
I think of you

You know when I’m lonely
I think of you
When I have a room full of friends
I think of you

You know when I have won in life
I think of you
When I have conquered myself
I still think of you

-Anirban Saren

Your thoughts make you unique

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

It’s not about your personality, nor is it about your looks.

It’s your thoughts that make you unique.

Thoughts shape your reality.

Also your experiences shape how you think.

But I’d say it all starts in the brain.

Experiences are outside our control.

But you can control how you think, what you think.

You can change your thoughts and your future experiences or destiny will change.

So thoughts can be made better by getting diverse experiences in life, reading good books, a good education, a good environment, prayer, etc.

So your thoughts make you unique.

I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!

I wanted to be an astronaut and a singer at five

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Plainly and simply I wanted to be an astronaut and a singer.

Because astronauts move mankind forward and I love to sing.

But as I grew older, I discovered my true preferences.

I realised that I was born to be a writer.

I was born to think differently.

I was born to love books.

I was born to love the truth.

When I was five, I only said what I learnt from my environment that astronauts and singer are reputable professions.

But as I aged and I got wiser. I learnt what I want and what I don’t want. And what my soul truly craves.

My soul craves self-expression.

Also in life we can’t get everything because of our circumstances.

So we need to accept everything- the successes and the failures.

I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!
