Well, I have been away for some time and while I have a genuine reason for it, I'm not really happy that I had to hit the pause button on my blog. I couldn't help it then(had exams :( ) and can't help it now( just have to get back to blogging :) ).
Its kind of ironic that I got the idea for this post after my computer crashed. I was pretty crushed myself, but then I thought, I finally have some time with myself and got to thinking about the things I have done in my life so far. The things I did wrong, the things I wish I tried and came up with my very own version of the 7 deadly sins.
Now, we all know the most famous ones. They are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.
But I honestly don't believe that a very large percentage of us can live a life of 60-65 (the average) years without actually committing most of these sins. I understood that there are no selfless good deeds pretty early in life. Every good deed has a motive that makes us happy, and I feel that is right. I believe in a single important concept, we all have a brain, and are all responsible to make ourselves happy.
The 7 deadly sins: (Now, most of these are derived from my personal experiences, but as general as they are, many of you should be able to relate with 'em)

The 7 deadly sins: (Now, most of these are derived from my personal experiences, but as general as they are, many of you should be able to relate with 'em)
- To not make long term friendships - I don't have too many, I know how lonely it can tend to get sometimes, sadness or elation.
- To not take a few risks - I wouldn't be here doing what I love and would still be stuck in Bangalore blaming he system, the city, my job and my life.
- To accept you won't fall in love - There's 2 kind of people, ones that have never fallen in love, and ones that have loved and lost. Some people in both categories give up, and force themselves to not fall in love. You guys don't know what you are missing missing out on. I know who I missed out on, and trust me, you guys don't want to be in my position.
- To sleep too much - I am a big movie buff, so I will keep quoting movies. One great dialogue was, you will have enough time to sleep when you're dead. I wholeheartedly believe in it. You miss out on a lot in life when you excessively sleep.
- To not tell your family how much you love and miss them - This is one thing you should never stop doing. And this includes all the people in your life you love, not just relatives, every body you love is in a way or another, your family. Tell them you love them (as much as this is an instruction to help you guys, its also for me too!)
- To accept boredom / to accept crazy is always bad - Accepting boredom is among the worst things one can do. You allow incomplete results, don't have an aim, never obsess about anything, life isn't worth a lot. Never get bored, if youhave to be something be crazy, about a goal, about the stars, about the night, about love, ABOUT LIFE.
- To hurt people you love/ the people who love you - Well, I unfortunately hove done both of these things. And let me tell you, I have never felt worse about myself. Besides the fact that I miss the people I hurt so bad, it just kills me to think I could do that, and was able to justify it to myself then. This is specially for a couple of people, If you guys read this, I know you will get it, and I'm sorry, you don't know how much. I miss you, I miss the me I was with you guys, with more love in the heart, more faith in the mind, more life in my soul.
So, that's my list. These aren't in any particular order but they will haunt us, well at least me. These are mistakes that I have committed in the past, and I am unfortunately even committing right now. I cannot imagine how different my life would have been had I read this exact post and stopped committing the sins a few years ago.
I know coming up with a list like his is probably not the easiest thing to do, I mean, it took me a few days, so if you guys have 1 sin you guys think is the "deadliest", leave it in the comments.

P.S : You might notice a lot of these sins are catered to not missing out on things in life. That's because in life, you're gonna regret stuff you didn't do more than the stuff that you did.
Until next time,
Cheers,
Dhiraj
Yeah I have one... Running blindly behind the love (which was finally 'lost' ) at the expense of career (which otherwise would have been better) :( :'( !
