STOP SEARCHING YOUR PASSION


In my workplace, we always had this opportunity to express our thoughts and ideas and whatever we feel matters most to us, similar to a platform, like TED, where you will be asked to choose your topic of interest and to share your thoughts and ideas, and I chose the topic on Stop Searching Your Passion, which created a interest and buzz on everyone.
I would like to ask you a few questions? Basic definition for a Passion and what according to you is Passion.
And everyone started replying that, they had something to do in common or something that keeps them going, and something that pushes them to do better.
So what it does mean to go a little deeper in understanding, we may find so many different aspects of life, many hobbies that were born along with us and we leave them aside till today.
Passion comes from a various forefront and its enables us personally to do better in what we wanted to tell our community around. Passion comes on various aspects, and I will be sharing to you on the basic two aspects which I find quite important for today.
How Culture Impacts the Passion we hold and how our Peers are involved in our passion!
Culture to a greater extent has impacted our passion of recent days, especially with individuals moving down  especially with most of our teenagers after college desperately looking to go into a regular paid job, which only curtails to a conclusion, that passion’s are for temporary and for the long term commitment , it’s a failure.
It reminded me of a friend of mine, whose passion is on trekking and travel adventure, but due to his family and personal commitments, had to leave away his passion beside and to concentrate on a regular 9 to 5 paid job, which still is a struggle, due to many commitments that he holds to himself. We call it life of 21st century, where any individual who has money saved, but still he feels poor, amidst rapid economic and money and the rise in prices.
So where does passion stand here, where we need to raise a question to ourselves, to understand, what is needed and required to understand!
We are in the epitome of our society where our relevance is questioned, and it is we, who have destined it as we have found it.
This goes to the existence on the most important part, where on how our peers influence passion, where any individual , whose identity stands apart is determined by the team , he works along and influences by.
It is here, one needs to understand what it takes to understand how your in the team , despite all odds, we need to understand, where we stand in a world where there is no mutual growth and what needs to change right now, in this society of inequality, we need to realize what it takes to be part of a great team, inturn seeing the results ,not only seeing in our passion to grow and also seeing here where we understand we grow in a mutual state of life.
Finally I would like to reinstate to understand how does failure help you to reorganize your passion? We may have our passions, but when failure bows down, we tend to realize we stop, at most instances and it’s the end.
Thus Passion becomes an art and life’s need to be lived as a lesson forever.
Life lived on earth is once, let our life be praised for generations.

  1. Passion! Passion! Passion!
    it's everywhere. they say it passion; may be consciously or may be not...
    "Understand" your inner self and following it's practical interest for a period of time is Passion in 21st century.

    But what's passion is all about ?
    Passion is an illusion most of the time.
    Passion protect you from begin human. How ?
    We as a human begin, sorry a little correction, energy begin, conscious begin and begin inbuild with vibration who Is made of particles across cosmos.
    Who had potentials of unlocking various dimensions of consciousness to connect with all types of natural begin found on earth and other universe.

    "The Diversion from consciousness is Passion."
    To put it simple: It blocks you from getting connected with your deep inner self which radiate your energy.

    Of Cource Yes, Passion pushes you from one stage of life to another and acts as a motivations something.
    the ultimate question is towards where?
    Towards success ? or towards the bliss of enlightenment. is Passion taking a human from MIND FULL to MINDFUL or sadly from MINDFUL To MIND FULL

    Rediscover Passion and Celebrate Life!!!

WHEN WRITING CHANGED ME!

Do you know what it takes to have a good handwriting? Sources say, you need to write as many pages as possible, and writing changes with times, and also with age! Here’s what I wanted to tell you? When, in this modern world, fountain pens are replaced by modern ball point pens, where we don’t know what the value a fountain pen holds for one’s primitive formation in life. In this world of rapidness and no me time connect, do you still write? Not about writing letters to your loved ones but also about writing what you want and feel like doing? Do you ever believe that as times changed, do we also stop writing? Despite all odds, when they stopped Telegram, the oldest way of communication, I promised myself and took a vow that I wil,l till the end of my lifetime, wish people only by writing letters, and to be personal, I have sticked with it till today, coz it has helped me improve, a lot of things! What made me feel when I wrote a letter? We always had this idea, of amidst Wh...

Seven Years, Thousands of Miles, and a New Song for 2026

Seven years ago, I began this digital journey to share a very physical passion: the power of the written word. Today, as we step into 2026, my heart remains the same, but my vision has grown. From my roots in Chennai to the many youth centers I’ve visited through USM and YCS/YSM, I’ve seen how the "digital noise" can sometimes drown out our inner melody. This year, I am refreshing this space to focus even more deeply on what matters most. The Melody in the Noise In an era of instant messages, the postcard remains my anchor. It is a tool of solidarity—a way to say, "I see you, and you matter." This year, I’ll be sharing more stories from the road: the faces of youth discovering their own voices and the quiet power of a pen hitting paper. What 2026 Looks Like Here As I continue to travel and mentor, this blog will evolve into a more intentional space for: The Symphony of Solidarity: How we can turn individual "solos" into a movement for a more harmonious wor...

The Art of the Slow Life: What 100 Postcards Taught Me

A few years ago, I was introduced to Postcrossing, a global community that offered me a unique opportunity to experience life at its fullest through the "slow life" movement. When I first started writing, I found myself questioning the process—wondering who would write back and if this hobby was sustainable.   Today, having received 100 postcards, I can say that every card brings a surge of emotion, much like the joy of a family member coming to visit.   Why the Pen Still Matters in a Digital World In a world of rapid development and media saturation, we often lose sight of ourselves. Writing postcards has become my way of reclaiming that lost time.  It has allowed me to:   Connect Authentically: I have met new people and grown communication so significantly that receiving cards on birthdays and special occasions feels incredibly special.   Travel Through Others: I have "visited" places I always dreamed of through the stamps and ink of others...
