Recently I participated in Neeya Naana on the topic "People using Tanglish vs Those who oppose it" (June 29th episode).

As an extension of it, I had a chance to convey my views deeply in this interview.

Interested, please watch.

Your definition of fairness and your commitment to it don't necessarily have to be understood and respected by others.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

To sincerely listen to our fellow humans' reminiscence is a service to humanity.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

What's so hard in loving someone is we need to accept them beyond their behaviour.

It gets harder sometimes. To accept them beyond their intent.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

When we are being honest, we taste better to our own self.

@TheCinesthetic Quite the opposite for the Godfather

The ultimate goal of thinking is to develop the mindset that will rescue our soul from suffocation and clear the path for it to do what it is meant to do: living the best life possible.

To hate someone is being in the comfort zone. To hate, it takes nothing. But to love, or at least to not hate, is to change ourselves. To change how we see life. To change our source of happiness. To change our purpose in life. To change our routine. To not hate, it takes living.

Now we believe in writing the story. Only until we will learn it is not gonna make sense to our own self when our new sufferings are going to alter our sense of meaning.

Soon we may have to stop believing in stories and start watching life, moment by moment, as it is.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

We believed in the impact of our story. Only until we learnt that not everyone was going to read it.

We believed in the meaning of our story. Only until we learnt that the reading ones were not interpreting it the way we wanted them to.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

An underrated realization is learning to understand life beyond what our language can capture in vocabularies and definitions.

Sure, we're already doing it intuitively. But we can start trusting that understanding, too.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

So it's not about how it was read, by how many it was read, or whether it was read.

It's only about what you wrote. At that moment. At that second. Even when all those things were happening. Even when all of them were doing things to you.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

When we survive breakups, loss, betrayal, illness, or irrelevance,
we’re really surviving the absence of meaning.

We're learning to live without the missing pages of the story we thought we were born to write.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

And in time, we realize we’re writing a story in a language only we know, for a book that may never be read, and whose chapters even we may forget or won't make sense of.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

You're never a loser for trading your dreams for your values. In fact, you will be one if you do otherwise.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

There are a thousand ways to feel alive but only one path. The question is how daringly honest we are in taking it.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

Unless we fix who we think we are, our contribution to people won't earn us the value we deserve.

[Javith Razvi @JavithRazvi]

We can't use communication to fix what our behaviour missed.

That includes both the talks we have with others and ourselves.

Behavioural failures can be fixed only with behavioural changes.
