You are right !

You can do it or you cannot do it - whatever you think about yourself - you are always right.
You are what think about you.

 I am made by my own thoughts.  My life is the manifestation of my thoughts.  Each of us is a magician.  I have the power to change my life. Nobody else can do it for me. Its only me  who can do it.

I can get the guidance but its upto me to follow it. In school , everybody gets d same education - same books - how come some score well n some dont ?
Its me who decides to listen to whom - its me who decides to follow whom - thats what makes all d difference.  Its me who decides what I am capable of and hence what I deserve. I am capable of being at the top and I deserve to be at the top.
Your circle of influence is equally important and how encouraging and supporting they are. Not all would want to see you at the  top - except your Mom.
"How dare you think you are superior than us?"

"How dare you think you can reach d top ? "

Sometimes its ur inner voice - sometimes  your friends - all afraid of failure. ..

ghar se nikale bina kabhi cycle chalana  sikha hai bhai ?

I remember the days when I was in 12th std - preparing for exams - the result  were to decide my fate. I came from a super orthodox family. " how dare o think I can go for higher studies ? "

"How can you dream of going outside the town to study - you are a female.  You will not be allowed. Just be happy u r being allowed to study atleast.
Even if my parents wanted, we were a part of joint family where they hardly had a say.
I had just 1 option - score so high that they cannot deny me my destiny - score so high that money is not the hurdle for me and I get a free seat. My parents supported me in all possible ways. They had d belief because I had it in me.

I remember those days - one day that gave me the success mantra.
I used to go for English tutions. There was another professor who used to give Maths tutions.  I was not taking Maths tutions from him. But he used to test me if there was time to start for English class.  He said - everybody is preparing so well. All are giving their best. Why do you think you are better than them ?
Most of these aspiring students are putting 95% efforts. If you want to be at the top , you have to put 5% more efforts than them. That 5% over and above 95% makes all the difference.  If tou are putting same efforts like them, do not expect better results than them. To be at extraordinary place, you have to put extraordinary efforts. However intelligent you are, if your efforts are less, you are not going to the top. There is no shortcut to success.

I made this as my Mantra for Life - if I have to be at the top , I have to give my 100% efforts. Rest I leave to HIM.

It was no wonder that I got 100% in 12th in Physics, Chemistry n Mathematics - it was a proof that I had put 100% hard work, n  dedication. I was so focused on my goal that I turned blind n deaf to everything else. Didn't even hear to what my body was telling me - I met with accident and had lot of hurdles but that hardly bothered me. My parents My Mom took so much care that I had never to bother abt anything else.

I am following the same Mantra today ...
I am capable of reaching there and I deserve to be there.

I am right ...

Finding Myself (Your Questions Answered)

Many friends have called, commented and come back to me asking  what did I do or what have I found  or how I have found in "Blessed to have found myself". Sudesh asked if I have found my inner purpose of life. According to him, the outer purpose keeps changing.

Consider outer purpose as baby steps towards your inner purpose of life. If my inner purpose is known to me, my outer purposes will be aligned to reach my inner purpose. Very true that my inner purpose is constant throughout my life. Outer purposes will keep changing since I achieve them one by one, climbing the ladder to my inner purpose.

However consider that I didnt know my inner purpose of life  - then I will keep wandering throughout - thats why the questions of my existence, my purpose will keep coming back to me every now and then - I will not get that well-being feeling from within - since I dont know where I am heading to - what is it that I REALLY want in my life ? I have been there - that feeling made me very uncomfortable inspite of being excellent in whatever I had been doing - BECAUSE I didnt know if I was on the right track.

Inner purpose of life cannot be determined by others - it cannot be found by asking others whats yours ? But knowing other's inner purpose might give me some idea. But still I will not know my inner purpose until I am in that zone - that SEEKING Zone  - that UNCOMFORTABLE zone. If I am not even seeking or looking for it - the answers might be infront of me - but I will not see them. Its that SIMPLE!

Inner purpose - I call it the 'click' moment - that moment when something clicked my mind and heart - its that moment of life when everything else seems immaterial  - when something happens and the furniture in my mind gets shifted. Then I am ready to take any risks in life, Then I am open to trying things (legal and ethical) that I had never done before  - my Inner purpose  - the ultimate goal of life becomes larger than my life itself!

All may not have same inner goals but they may be inter-related. Then their outer goals also become become similar. Important is are you looking for your inner goal? IF you have found it, are your outer goals aligned towards your inner goals?

Yes, I have found my inner goal  and now I am aligning my outer goals for my inner purpose!

So, thankful to my destiny, to God for enlightening me, my mentors for showing me the path, my parents for making me capable enough to follow my heart and my sweetheart for always being there for me and supporting me in every single way!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Blessed to have found myself

Finding myself.. I am blessed to have found back myself.

Since more than a decade, I had been playing with myself , dodging with lot of questions of existence , my  purpose in life , my ultimate goal in life , what is it that I love to do and would want to do all my life , what is it for which I cannot die without achieving ? I used to get lost every other day and the question would come back to me - Sweta , what next ? Is this it ?

I never got answers to any of my questions till a very long time - almost till half of my life span has passed by like flowing river - myself standing on the banks figuring out what to do - why I am here ?

I tried to find answers in books , from people - but they say naa - everybody has that moment when they find themselves - some are blessed to find early in life - some take a lifetime to realize - this is it that they wanted from their life - probably few minutes before they die when the life flashes in front of their eyes like the flowing sand from their hands...

I am so blessed to find it quite early in  life where I still have some time to achieve  - to make a difference - to create the story of my life...

I had always been a dreamer. Who doesnt dream ? Aspire ?
Everybody wants to soar ?

But not everybody is AWARE that they  too have wings - even they are capable of flying...
Some try try to fly and then they give up thinking they are not made to fly - some fly - fly only from one tree to other - UNAWARE they are capable of soaring high in life...
Only only handful realize they are capable of high  flying - scaling new heights...


So blessed - thank you , thank you , thank  you .

Flat tax rate for everybody is what I expect

Flat tax rate for everybody is what I expect

No Discrimination based on how much you earn!

I expect a flat tax rate for all the citizens earning more than X Lacs say 5 lacs. No tax for people earning less than 5 Lacs per year.


People should be appropriately taxed on how they spend their earnings...

say 50% TAX on cars worth more than 10L

say 50% TAX on LUXURY Holidays!

say 50% TAX on dining out in 5 Star, 40% in 4 Star....
say 50% TAX on watching movies in multiplex
say 10% TAX on Watching movies in cinema
say 50% TAX on buying BISLERI
say 50% TAX on housing RENT more than 40K per month

The point is - you have a flat rate of income tax and then tax on expenditure based on the spending capacity of the individual! Indirectly taxing rich! But not everybody :) and not ALWAYS!

This is feasible only when all transactions are made through debit/credit cards. Do not wait to tax till the end of the year.

Tax when the transaction is made... Make Aadhar / PAN Card compulsory to do any transaction!


This system has too many loopholes and the country has too many who want to save tax and do not fear being caught!

What are your thoughts! Do you think the tax slabs are good enough for the country? Do you think the rich should be taxed higher ?
