We hold in them our trampled convictions, our fears, suppressed acts of valor, disappointments, enmity, anguish, secrets, things we wish we should have done, things we wish we shouldn’t have, regret.And continue piling them up with emotions, memories, conversations which did happen and conversations which didn’t, soured relationships and bitter people all of which we should have discarded, we keep it within until there is no space left, until the room is full, occupied after which we go on to lock it. Once in a while we happen to open the room and sight the dust accumulated all over, we relive each moment, each memory and each emotion again and soon fall upon the realization as to how deeply the room is in need of cleaning and so we clean it.We clean it so that we can fill it once more, hold it, bear it, relish it, heal from it and then finally let it go.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["bear","conversation","conviction","disappointments","dust","fear","heal","heart","hold","let-go","memories","realization","room","storeroom","trampled","valor"],"id":12703,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"It takes years to build on to a dream but only a second to shatter.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["build","dream","shatter"],"id":22245,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"There’s this thing about shadows.They mimic us. They are a constant reminder of the fact that we are not alone, we are never alone.They follow and they obey much like a disciple and his teacher. But when in darkness, they abandon us and are as lost as we are, they seek the same light we seek for only light can bring back their identity and ours.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["alone","darkness","disciple","identity","light","lost","mimic","reminder","shadows","teacher"],"id":66896,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"The rope longed-for her beloved, the ceiling hook.

We struggle so that in this process of climbing we can learn, so that we can limit our impatience and grow stronger than we ever imagined to be.We struggle so that once we learn, we can preach about it to others who consider this act of struggling, spiteful.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["climbing","ladder","struggle"],"id":126906,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"Do you believe that our stories were written from before that we are but actors performing on the stage called life with neither rehearsals nor retakes, the dialogues of our own and a fleeting audience or are you someone who pens down his own story?","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["believe","fleeting","life","stage","story"],"id":152294,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"When we look back into our lives we see that our life is but a collection, a collage of these moments which take the shape of images, images which lower our spirits, images which inspire, images which help us remember the people that have come along our way, touched us and silently left, images that go on to become memories and leave a lasting impression as long as we are here, as long as we are here to be.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["images","impression","memories","moments"],"id":163866,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":30,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
