Courage-o-meter!

When impossible becomes possible, we never can let it go. And I feel it requires a lot of courage to let something go, once achieved because there may be a chance that we regret for the decision taken which could have otherwise changed the life for better. Often are the times when mothers sacrifice their career to look after the kids, which requires a lot of courage. If you have achieved something impossible and left it for any reason it may be you get +3

I always used to take up the work given to me in my old team. And my team mates would scold me “Say you can’t, it’s not a part your work”. But my thought process was different at that point of time as every small thing would help me learn something. They would shout at me “learn to say no, else you would suffer badly”. And lately I realized it takes lot of courage to say a “no” than agreeing to do what I have been asked to do. Ever said a no? +2

It is far easier to fight against the parents for your love. And even easier it is to elope. But I feel it takes in lot of courage to sacrifice ones love, for respect and feelings of others, especially your parents. It requires lot of courage to leave apart the person you love, knowing that he or she loves you equally. If done , you get a +5

We all talk about people fighting and guarding the borders. But it is the family of those who are courageous, who get to sleep peacefully knowing that any day may bring the news that their sons have become the martyrs. Have you slept peacefully when your family fought the enemies , you get a +7

We are brought up in a world which is full of corruption and injustices happening all around. Fortunately or unfortunately we were brought up so bold that we could never tolerate injustice and fought for the right. Me and sis fought for one marks, if given less or extra. Well it wasn’t about one mark, it’s about the right that we learnt to fight for. There have been people who react “jo hota hai hone do”. Finally when we would fail to fight for right, my parents would say “ dusron ko to badal nahi sakte, khud ko hi badalna padega”. But all I know is one needs lot of courage to stand up against injustice however small or big the injustice may be. Fought for the right ever? Take a +3, assuming it to be the smallest injustice you have fought for. If you have never done one you get a 0

We have rose day , chocolate day , propose day but never is a day for confession where we actually go and confess to people what we want to do. It takes huge courage to go and confess truly what someone feels. Have your ever confessed? +5 please.

One of the most difficult times is to see your loved one suffering from some terminating illness. Someone whom we counted upon, someone with whom we saw dreams and when we know all those were momentary and soon there would be time, when we would have to see the dreams alone. We try to save the life of the dear one for every minute that we can. It may be very easy to put it in words but requires huge courage to face such moments in reality. Not measurable as one required huge courage!

I don’t know how far this is applicable in today generation for whom “love” is just another word. But I always felt it takes a huge courage to go and say “I love you”. And I remember the dialogue from a recent movie, ‘ladki ko nahi badal paaye to , ladki ko hi badal do’. Try it and your get a +2.


Recently in a conversation from some unknown person, he asked me “how do you differentiate between your career and job”. It was a completely informal discussion at a family function. To which I said “I may be wrong, but what my perception is ….” And said what I felt about the same. He smiled “you will go places”. I argued “how do you say that? Just because my definition matched your thoughts doesn’t mean that I am right”, to which he replied “it’s not your definition , but the line which you said “I may be wrong, because it takes lot of courage to accept ones mistakes, and I have seen people who don’t admit even after they commit a mistake”. I hate to boast about myself and so here I say “I lied all this and it was just an imaginary situation” lol. I just wanted to give a description where people claim I am “right” and all I say is “yes you are right, and I am wrong” +3 for saying I am wrong and you are right.

As I almost completed jotting down my random thoughts , my roommate entered with malpua and rabdi, and I jumped from my bed to eat and I realized it takes a lot of will power, courage and commitment to not to eat something you love when it is kept right in front of your eyes. +10 if you can ever do this.
