Amit's Cove - Live an Amitastic life

Don't talk Shit For a minute, let's equate our brain with a piece of sponge. What does a sponge do when you dip it in a bucket of water?. It absorbs all the water right?. Similarly, our brain is a huge, extra-absorbent and wrinkly sponge which takes in the information around you whether you like it or not. It's hungry for knowledge, so it gobbles up everything in sight, kind of like me in a buffet.😌  When we watch a movie, our brain registers the story depicted in visuals. When we read a book, our brain registers and creates visuals of the story on it's own. When we meet new people, our brain registers a new face, voice and the person's characteristics. This stuff is boring you tears right? Let me cut to the chase. There is a saying in English : 'You are what You eat' .So when you talk shit about people, guess what you're feeding your brain. A nice full plate of shit with a side dish of your choice.😏 The brain is the most advanced tool of our body whi...

Don't just Survive! Well, I have to ask you something before I talk about my post today. Are you stranded on an island and have no where to go? Are you Tom Hanks of 'Cast Away' who was stranded on the island and had to talk to a coconut? Are you Piscine from the movie 'Life of Pi' who was stranded on a boat with a Tiger named Richard Parker? Or are you in the Hunger Games? Are you in an island full of dinosaurs where you have to wait until the In-Gen people come and rescue you? I am sure you were on the Titanic and your ship sank. Now you have to wait on the floating door (which can easily have room for two grown adults, Dumb Rose) until a life boat comes and rescues you. Are you in any of the above listed situations? If no, then why are you acting like you need to survive in your life right now. If you are able to read this blog, then the chances are that you have been blessed with the equipment required for you to not just survive, but conquer your life. Life can ...

Not Lazy, Active! image credits: Shutterstock.com  Well, to begin with today's post, I am literally not the right person to be talking about being active 😂😂.Tell me to do a night out and finish the entire Harry Potter series, I will. Tell me to host an 8 hour college event or go to each and every class and promote an event and I'll do it with a Barbie smile on my face😄. But tell me to do a 20 push-ups and I will just disappear from that place. I will move to  a different country, change my name to Mohit😂 and throw my phone off a cliff so that there is no scope for further contact. But to be brutally honest, I do agree that my body needs the exercise. I am learning that being active and keeping my body fit and healthy is kind of like my job. Being active, doesn't mean having an awesome body that you can flaunt at the beach or on Instagram. It also doesn't mean fitting into an XXXXS shirt. What being active really means is making sure that your body is able to keep up...

Love Yourself  Being in love is magical. We get that tingly feeling in our stomach and we have someone to text goodnight. We want the people we love to be happy and we always wish the best for them. When they succeed in life, we feel proud and when they struggle, we try to help them. And I'm just talking about loving a girl or a guy but also our mom, dad or family. We have special days dedicated to loving the most special people in our life like anniversaries for lovers, mother's day for moms and father's day for dads and Valentine's day for florists.   But what I think is that love shouldn't be reserved for other people. The first and foremost thing to do in life is to love yourself! Once you learn to truly love yourself, you'll be able to love others. When you don't love yourself, you will start projecting your insecurities onto others, preventing you from genuinely seeing them for who they really are. If you don't love yourself, then you...

Kick comfort on the butt!  My Father always says that " Everything you want is outside your comfort zone! ". Being uncomfortable is usually considered a really bad thing. That is because most of the people perceive discomfort as, getting stuck in the metro train with a lot of sweaty passengers or some may find watching intimate scenes on TV with their parents  uncomfortable. (Well that is very very very Uncomfortable 😅😅)   Coming to the point, putting yourself in uncomfortable situations is very crucial in developing new skills and gaining valuable experience. Today, I can say that I am confident enough to speak my heart out to an audience of at least a 100. But I didn't go from 0 to 100 overnight. People who are closely connected to me, often praise me for my public speaking. I have been appreciated by tons of people for my speaking skills. But, to gain that appreciation, I have gone through so much. When I was in school, I was very shy. I barely spoke in class, ...

Keep your friends close!  " A Tr-uu-e friend You're here 'till the end You pull me aside when somethin' aint right Talk with me now and into the night 'Till its alright again You're a true friend" Hannah Montana's album, 'True Friend' gives us the true meaning of friendship. True friends stay close to you when you need them the most! They share your joy and divide all of your sorrow among themselves. To conquer your life, you need to stay positive. Positivity is a major tool for conquering life. For that purpose, an Amitastic person surrounds himself/herself with positive energy. True friends provide you with that positive energy. I have been super lucky to have found friends who have supported me through all my endeavors of life. They inspire me to do more, achieve something more. But finding true friends is as difficult as hell! You must choose them wisely, but most of the times it just happens automatically. Even though you might not have th...

Be Kind AF!  Kindness is an equipment that you need to possess to conquer life. Conquering life doesn't is not the same as conquering a kingdom. If you want to conquer a kingdom, you would need a mighty army, equipped with the most powerful weapons of the world, elephants, horses and an extraordinary strategy. To conquer life, you don't need all of the above, you simply need to be kind! Kindness can take you from 0 to infinity and beyond!!  What I mean when I say 'Be Kind' is that whenever you are in a situation that is not under your control or did not turn out the way you wanted it, you need to handle it with kindness. Be polite and calm while dealing with it. This statement is just quite random and meaningless, right? Let me share my own experience of being in a sticky situation. At our college, we had a competition for the first year students which involved 4 rounds. Management quiz, Finance, Marketing and a suspense round. It required us to participate in pairs. Me...

Be Tight lipped! You are at this movie, watching it with your friend who has already watched it. You are completely engrossed in the movie and want no distractions as the villain has captured the hero's brother. The hero arrives and starts fighting with the villain's goons, you are about to know what's gonna happen to the brother when your friend says, ' Let's get outta here, he's gonna kill his brother anyways!'. He just ruined the entire suspense which makes you feel that the entire 2hrs 49mins was a waste of time, ( don't forget the ticket price). Well, if he would have revealed the ending, you probably wouldn't even go watch the movie. All I'm trying to say is that, comparing the movie's example with real life, letting out your secrets to other people might just ruin your relationship with them, or worse. It could be used as a tool to defame you, or destroy your reputation. See no connection with the example and my explanation right? So, ...

                                      Thinking is Fantastic   O n your quest to conquer life, you have come to the next level. Welcome!  As the heading suggests, 'Thinking is Fantastic', I totally agree with that. I love thinking and I'm sure that most of you too love thinking. But occasionally, when we are really passionate about something , or when we are in a total fix, we tend to think a little bit more, like the total What? Where? When? How? and Why?, to a point where it becomes completely unproductive. It happens to everyone. Overthinking is a hurdle in your life which does not allow you to get things done. You should be able to make the decision as when to take time and think something through and when to simply make a decision. Going in circles will get you nowhere. For example, when your girlfriend tells you that she wants to talk. Before you call her, you spend around 45 m...

  Before we begin,   You guys need to train your brain. Train it to listen to you! The brain, or the mind is our biggest asset and also our biggest obstacle. It is the most important equipment we have, but completely useless if we don't know how to use it. You need master it. To do so, don't just embark on this journey alone, get your brain along with you. To lead an Amitastic way of life, you gotta train that sucker brain!                                                                  Are you ready to lead an Amitastic life?                                                                     i can't hear you...     ...

  WELCOME TO MY BLOG!! Hey! Hi! Hope you are doing good. I'm glad your here. I would like to thank you for spending your valuable time on this blog. This blog is...., no...This blog tells you....., not the word......This blog..... Hold on!                                                    See, I had a trouble with speaking about the blog. A few years ago I had trouble introducing myself to a stranger. I couldn't speak to anyone with confidence. I was, as people like to call us, an Introvert. I was quiet, reserved and thoughtful and always avoided interactions and conversations with others. But that's not how you survive or as I like to say, conquer life. Over the years I've been able to overcome all my fears and conquer life.How you ask? This blog is the answer. Here, I will be your personal trainer, guiding you up those stairs of fear to reach the stag...
