First Step 2 Forever by Justin Bieber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh yes, I love Justin Bieber - not sure if it is his lovely mane, or his boy-next-door looks or his pleasant voice! This book just adds to it.

I was a bit reluctant purchasing this book after reading reviews that it just ain't worth it. Yet I bought it. And those ain't-worth reviews are wrong!

There is a beautiful connection between the pages that does not want you to put the book down. To know how he struggled to become the super star that he is now is worth a read.

A good autobio - though I would have loved more words than pictures. There are just too many of them that make the book look bulky!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, I am so glad that I read this book!

Nick's word flow is natural, fun, simple and real. Every page is an inspiration and the book is fast-paced. I would highly recommend this book for self improvement or to pep yourself up when down.

A 5 star, unquestionably!

Ain’t life all about survival?

Life is a wonderful phenomenon that throws surprises at every turn. It is the metamorphosis of man from ignorance to enlightenment. But it does not happen in the wink of an eye. Man has to go through various spheres of hindrances to accomplish something satiable to self. There are people who exist for the mere sake of trampling one’s happiness. There are circumstances which make a person hit the very bottom of his confidence. It is at these times that we need to fuel our thoughts with encouraging material and boost ourselves to tackle failures. For a fairytale end to life it is necessary to take on positive mannerisms and to show a brave face in rough times. Mistakes happen, but the more they are made it is assured that the sooner a new realm of living awaits. Life is all about survival and it is good to go through the survivor series than to stay mute and let nothing happen.

The essence of Freedom

Freedom to me is "being independent" -  to be able to live in your own house, to cook and eat for yourself, do what you like, to get what you want and keep you head held high coz you know you can manage life yourself.

These lines might portray me as a selfish crook - not able to relish the joy of living with family, eating together and helping each other amidst all fights and disturbances. But how prepared am I to face reality? What will I do if left alone -  will I able to manage things on my own? Or will I sit dumb and feel terrible and aloof - cry over things? A yes to the last question does not help!!

So what should I do to be strong enough to face the world? Live alone for sometime - a couple of years away from family -  now this may sound so unorthodox and unhappening for some of you out there. But trust me - at the end of all this I will mature as an individual - brave at heart to face all consequences, however tough they might seem!

I will be honestly glad if I get the green signal to live on my own. But I all get is nay-nays from my family when I put forth this issue - hmmm.....does not help really!

So I have made a decision - when I have children, I will ask them to take their chances and be alone after they age - they will get to learn so many things - as they say it is all about personal choices - nothing works better than experiencing things on our own. Come what may - they will be brave enough, mentally, to face it!

Keeping my fingers crossed for my own freedom:)

Confusions!

So to start with - I am 25 and still confused about what I should do - career,future,freedom...hmmm.

I have a Bachelor's degree in I.T. but straight from my heart - that is not my cuppa tea - never been! Good that I decided not to delve into the mazy realms of programming, the software junk et al. I was too late in realizing my dislike for I.T. and I was not able to change my major. No worries - I am still hanging around - alive and kicking!!

What do I like then?? Now that question has a string of answers - writing, reading, singing, painting, surfing, travelling, not to miss thinking - I just love sitting in my room - under the fan and just think, think and think!:)

All these are acceptable - but I am not sure about a long-time career as in a white-collar job...the thought of it drives me crazy. It is just that I am not a person who can just sit and work all the time - that buffs out the creativity in me. It is five years since I did my not-so-worthy Bachelor's and I have got experience in some BPOs - I am still working in one. I am still not happy about the work I do and I have decided that I am not going to stick with BPOs all my life. That leaves me with what to do?

So I think and think and think and finally I presume,not decide, just presume that writing would be the best thing for me. So here I am writing my very first blog - honestly miss the touch of pen and paper - but this works just fine!

There I have taken a step - time will tell and so will I!
