It has been quite some time since I purchased this domain for myself. I never really had the time to write something or let’s just say, I really never had the will. But what better time to start than the start of a new year. The last year was amazing. My life took a huge leap and I entered the world of fatherhood. The year before i.e. 2015, I entered into a beautiful bond that goes by the name “Marriage”.

Everyone thinks that there is a right time to do everything. Most people want to get married when they are settled, have a nice sum of money deposited to their account every month and are sure about what they want to do in the future. In my case, it was different and it still is. I was 22 and still studying when I got married and a year later, I had a son. I did not have a regular paycheck coming in my bank account every month and to be honest, I was not even mature. But the truth is, everything worked out as it always does in the end (or so I believe).

My principal in my high school used to say, “Have faith!” Back then, the two words did not make any sense. Moreover, Steve Jobs once said in his commencement speech, “it is possible to connect the dots in reverse and not vice versa.” Well, I took a leap of faith and I am glad to say that so far, I can connect the dots. Those two words, “Have faith!” make a lot of sense now.

I have moved to Munich to pursue my Master’s in Power Engineering. But honestly, I don’t even know if I want to do it. I still haven’t figured out what I want to do with my life. But the good part is, I am looking for the answer. I am sure I will keep on looking for it until I find it. There are a few things in my life that make sense to me right now. I have very loving and supportive parents who have always been supportive of what I have done so far. I have a girl who makes my heart beat and who happens to be my wife. My son, who makes all the worries go away with one smile. Finally, my sister and my mentally challenged brother, who I love dearly. To sum up, the only thing that makes sense right now is love and the beautiful people with whom I share this feeling.

I know life will have a lot to teach me in the coming years as I believe that life is a great teacher. So far, I have learnt my lessons and one of them is to ‘have faith’. I see so many people with brilliant ideas that are waiting to be believed in. I see so many lovers that need to learn the meaning of the two words that life tries to teach us. I see so many young artists and writers who are waiting for someone to tell them, ‘have faith’. I see so many people who want to believe in humanity once again but are waiting for someone to tell them, ‘have faith’. I see 7 billion brilliant minds and souls who are waiting for someone to tell them to ‘have faith’.

So, I guess this goes out to all the people who are confused about what they want to do, to all the people who don’t know if things will turn out fine, to all the people who are not sure if this world will ever become a great place to live in, to all the people who have a broken heart, to all the people who have lost their jobs, to all the people whose next great idea has failed, to all the people whose business isn’t doing good, to all the people who are not sure if the sun will rise tomorrow, to all the people who are on the verge of losing hope, I tell you “Have Faith!”. For one day, the things will be better, for one day, this world will become a better place to live in. For one day, you will find true love. For one day, you will get a job that you love. For one day, your idea will be a reality. For one day, everything will make sense. Remember, the dots can only be connected in reverse.

P.S. The picture on my website is from 2014. Taken from ‘Top of the Rock’, New York City, New York, USA. I was there on an exchange program. For all of you who are going to New York City, do check out the place. The best time to go is at sunset.
