Hi! This is Rubeen Praveen from Tamilnadu, the southernmost part of India. I’m new to Medium. This is my first English Post! I’m here to function bilingually, sharing my posts in both my native language Tamil and my second language English.

If my English posts do well, I will keep writing in English here, as much as possible… Okay, let’s not anymore drag. It’s time to jump!

Below is a collection of some of my random nitty-gritty short write ups, (or can you call sayings?) whatever!

Just go through them and share your feelings or views on these chunk-ies!

  • The problem with me is this: I could not sit & learn something without a special connection towards it. To learn a new thing, I must undergo the process of experiencing it. Otherwise, the futility of knowledge chases me without kindness.
  • Every time I’m letting your ego win. In turn, I liberate the attachment I have with you. Every privilege takes a cost. Every green leaf turns yellow.
  • Every cruelty, every monster prepares my heart to become a shield to protect the goodness that exists. To do that, I cherish my own sublime people. I spend all my extras, I spend all my energy upon them.
  • A viable thought crosses three stages to finally exhibit its potential. Firstly, impression. Secondly, expression. Finally, execution.
  • Your tools must not contain the size of your dreams. Your dreams must expand the manufacture of essential tools.
  • Quietness holds an ocean of expressions; so vast and deep in nature.
  • Shed leaves of fear in the season of practice. Let all the storms shake with blows of criticism. Yet, which root that grips the soil of passions, lives forever in the whole of uniqueness.
  • Unresolved emotions finally meet the white papers of the notebook to rest in peace.
  • It is stupid until you find solace within it.
  • I’m not at all tired of changing very often. It is you who is weary of continuous attempts to catch me within a frame.
  • The scholastic approach is systematic; The ingenious approach is unique and natural.
  • You do not scent a flower to make it fragrant. Thus, is the essence of art no matter what ornament it wears. It adds no beauty to the essence, but artificiality.
  • To settle is to erode; to align is to explore.
  • The best teacher makes the worst school worth attending.
  • They do not need your explanations and excuses. And obviously, you don’t need their acceptance and approval.
  • Great things take time, as they deny cheap tricks.
  • Significant things do not occur like a flash; they grow like a tortoise in time, its lifespan is long.
  • Spark to begin is passion identified.
    Growing art gives life lessons.
    Involvement is the highest drive.
    Completion itself gives satisfaction.
    The exhibition is our final offering.
  • Plans are not perfect but efficient.
  • God is a bouquet full of collective goodness.
  • Copies are generated from the fear of failures.
  • Theorizing the nature of life is the first deviation from facing actuality.
  • You’re not lost because it is dark; you’re lost because you have no vision.
  • Too much sanity is death and torture.
  • Let love be the lungs through which we inhale life.
  • Today is the youth of tomorrow. Play now in the yard, in and out of the circle of time. With every in and out, you become closer to the clock of heaven.
  • There are moments in your life when you can’t contain the pain within you. You do not know how to express it. No silence, no smile can hide it. A part of you starts dying without your permission. You desperately need freshness, but the rate of decaying is far faster. You can’t accept, because that’s huge. You can’t deny, because you’re suffering.
  • What is looked at depends on the looker.
  • Touch the depth before you quit.
  • Do it at least to know that it’s not your cup of tea.
  • Metaphor is a mirror that reflects the mind of the body.
  • Feelings kill. Apathy tortures.
  • Life is too funny to consider seriously and is too serious to consider funnily.
  • I do not read by words, I read words.
  • Human life is not always just about searching and finding. Sometimes, you search, search and search endlessly without finding anything that you look for. Because those are the things that you should generate for yourself. Those things will not be found anywhere. One such thing is hope.
  • Dreams are both alternative possibilities and alternative responsibilities.
  • The limitlessness of one’s knowledge lies in knowing the limitlessness of one’s possible ignorance.
  • Use a word, not waste it.
  • To live a life worth living is the only purpose.
  • There’s no such thing as failure, when principles lead your progress. Progress is success!
