    •  Engaging.

 

    •  Unusual.

Common habits of Interesting People

 

Common habits of interesting people can be summed up by the acronym “SMILE A LOT”.

 

Share. Interesting people are always willing to and enjoy sharing their experiences and discoveries with others. They do it without spinning a yarn and keeping the interests of others in mind.

 

Make a Path. Interesting people are innovators and they forge their own path rather than joining the bandwagon. They break the conformity and go against the grain, to pursue new, exciting, and interesting ideas.  

 

Interests. Interesting people do what interests them. They have several interests, and they passionately devote themselves to them.

 

Learn. Interesting people are always curious and learning. They feel the world has infinite possibilities, and their curiosity about the unknown leads to constant learning.

 

Explore. Interesting people are always ready and excited about exploring the world. They try and discover new things, and in the process increase their creativity.

 

Airs. Interesting people have no airs about themselves. They are not egomaniacs.

 

Likes & Dislikes.  They don’t hide their likes and dislikes. They know what they want, and they’re brave enough to take the steps to get there.  Interesting people often have unusual preferences that don’t fit the norm.

 

Opinions. Interesting people are open, forthright and have their views. Their opinions quite often are a bit different than the rest. They don’t worry about what others think of them and are authentic and true to themselves. They don’t fear about being judged.

 

Try. Interesting people are often daring, like taking risks, and willing to go out of their comfort zones. They don’t prefer staying limited to boundaries.

SHIQURDU 35

 

k

मान कर कोई दूसरा, देता रहता हूं मशवरा ख़ुद को

ख़ुद ही से रूठ कर, ख़ुद ही मना लेता हूँ

ख़ुद को

 

 

k

आज फिर दिल ने ईक तमन्ना की

आज फिर दिल को समजाया हमने 

 

 

k

कुबूल है जिंदगी का हर  एक तोहफ़ा

मैंने ख्वाहिशों का पीछा छोड़ दिया

 

 

k

मैं आज ‘मैं होना चाहता  हूँ।

बिन सफ़र, बिन मंज़िलों का

एक रास्ता होना चाहता  हूँ।

 

 

k

ना चादर बढ़ी कीजिए,

ना ख़्वाहिशें दफ़न कीजिए

चार दिन की है ज़िंदगी, 

चैन से बसर कीजिए

 

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd-sounding name felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., Hindi and English). Although in some cases the language has been simplified attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep-meaning messages.
