It’s okay to live in uncertainty and not be sure how tomorrow is going to turn out. If you choose to look at it from an adventurous perspective, that’s what makes life exciting!
Dear Aishwariya,
It’s okay to be unsure about the future. It’s okay to live in the moment. Just enjoy your life. It will all turn out fine.
Right now, you are reading a lot of books, listening to music, watching movies, in addition to going to school, studying, playing with friends, taking part in extra-curricular activities, inter-school cultural activities, sports, etc. You are built in such a way that you need to be involved in a lot of activities to feel satisfied and “complete.”
You may never have everything figured out. It’s okay to live in uncertainty and not be sure how tomorrow is going to turn out. If you choose to look at it from an adventurous perspective, that’s what makes life exciting! If you knew how every single day was going to pan out and had your entire life figured out, it would be boring, wouldn’t it?
It doesn’t really matter which subject you major in or which group of friends you hang out with. What will matter is that you give everything a 100%. If, after that things do not go your way, you will at least be happy you gave it your all.
Life is too short for regrets and the only regrets that usually haunt you are the things you did not do. Many days in your future will be filled with joy, happiness, friendship, and love. You must remember the good times and make the most of the opportunities that come your way.
As Richard Bach says, “You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!
Is Hansika Motwani doing anything really bizarre? It is common practice for celebrities to sell exclusive rights to their wedding, new baby etc. to publications.
We heard about a rather unique proposition on social media recently – the monetisation of a wedding – by transforming it into a reality TV show. Now I will admit my first reaction to this was horrified disbelief.
