I woke up with a totally messed up mind, pondered on for few minutes and settled for giving it a quick clean-up, it helped. To keep myself glued to the battle I decided to remind myself about my priorities and consequences of loosing the battle. I narrated the “hypothetical post loosing the battle” scenario to myself, it was horrifying. Determined, once again, to win the battle I decided to put all planned steps to immediate action. Few steps are giant leaps and would have long term consequences but was there a choice? No there was not.
Having relinquished control over all non battle tasks I have taken the battle head-on. Now I am chasing a single word, Victory. Victory shall be ours, because Some Battles Must Be Won.

There is no turning back. The battle has been raging, the results have been to my satisfaction and I am still able to use my mind, but it is becoming very tough. Today the battle almost succeeded in overwhelming me with stress and stake. My eyes went dry, my body went still, my lips would not move and my tongue was sealed, my hands shivered and my feet locked themselves. It was tough, all I needed was just a hand which can hold me and get me back in control. Amidst all anxiety I exactly did that and the tears started flowing.
Not sure whether the battle has slipped or I am still fighting, I kept going, no big fight came my way and an uncertain day came to a certain end. The flame is still around and i still believe that – Some Battles Must Be Won.

Reaching out to an opium trader is a crime. Negotiating with an opium trader is a crime. Buying opium is a crime. Putting it on your hand is a crime. After all this, saying that it is a bad thing and not eating it is a mother of all crimes. The way world works today, indecision is one big catalyst for securing defeat. Statutory sense of satisfaction is an undesired element and has no place in time and life of those who must fight the battles which can never be lost. It is always better to be dissatisfied and win the battle rather than being satisfied and loose it. One can always say that dissatisfaction leads to lack of confidence, my argument is - what does defeat lead to?
It is best not to have foot in a door to a room which you are not sure whether you want to enter or not?
… Because Some Battles Must Be Won.

Sarcasm sometimes helps, but if someone close to you is always sarcastic you need to ask yourself, why I am still there? Sarcasm puts down people and if someone is passing sarcastic remarks all the time against you, you need to move away quickly or else you would be finally put down. Battles never have anything in common, the common threads between battles are usually right/wrong, moral/immoral, pride/hurt and so on. Nothing can take your battle away more than being in a company of a sadist. A sadist essentially is wrong, immoral and hurts you, take a break and do away with the sadist.
If there are people who are sarcastic, sadist and cruel to you around you, they must go. It is really a pity that an early call was not taken and you became a victim of your own misjudgment. The cost is bound to be tremendous, it is important to move far away from them irrespective of the cost. Those who get the worst out of you have no place in your proximity if you are fighting a Battle You Must Win.

Imperfections of the past live in both my conscious and subconscious mind, from time to time I turn back and start exploring my options to settle them and live beyond them. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail, success makes it easier to clear the mind space, failure further adds to my misery by taking over whatever is left of my subconscious mind. At times I have paid (what looked) unreasonable cost for releasing my conscious mind, invariably after few months and in couple of cases after few years that cost looked insignificant.
Imperfections of the past may or may not contribute to failures of tomorrow, but perennial movement of imperfections in mind definitely does. Whatever it takes, it takes – but it is important to bring these thoughts to an end, Because Some Battles Must Be Won

A lot can be done in a day, a lot more can be done in an hour, and the same can be multiplied in a minute, but it is important to always believe in the thought which doesn’t even need fraction of a second to change (at least yours) the world. The world for me once again changed this Saturday, I have made a quiet U-turn, back to the basics. It is going to be tough. Time, thought and decisions have created quite a cloud around me and maybe I have started believing in the merits of being under the cloud.
All battles are about thoughts and their execution, the challenge begins as my intentions all along translate into a decision. In last few years I have taken few decisions and my firmness has been mixed, but my track record for past six months has been to my satisfaction, most of the decisions have passed the test of the time.
A lot can be done by a thought acted upon, much more is to be done by acting now… Because, some battles must be won.
Gul Panag 100:100 May 22, 2010

Gul Panag is 100:100 – She is 100% beauty and 100% brains. She is the final argument for all of those who believe that absolute beauty and absolute brain can’t co-exist.
When Gul uploaded this photograph our “Celebrity coordination group” got into action, there was something about it which told us that there was exceptional life in this photograph and as the comments started pouring in and the RTs started happening we knew this was getting interesting. Gul has 100% in her, every interaction with her brings that facet of her personality on the forefront. If she takes up a cause, it means it is done justice with and if she picks up a fight it means she has won, that is exactly how she operates and that is how I think everyone knows her. To me I can say there is nothing fake and nothing put on.
In two plus years of my active Twitter usage I have done many celebrity “un-follows” on the grounds of duplicity in public life, I have come to detest some big-time celebrities and find them royally exposed. Gul is beyond all that.
Here are some of my observations about Gul:
- Flawless in thought
- A head-to-toe exceptional beauty
- Never away from basics
- Designers can only do that much, rest is me
- Always fit
- So gentle, yet so firm
- Speaking up at will and equally well when needed
- Never holds a narrow view
- Won’t hold back a good laugh, even if it is at her own cost
- Won’t allow to be messed up with
- Plans for the future and enjoys the present
- Team player
- Never hesitates in starting something new
- Can say a straight “suit yourself”
- Understands in public transparency
- Knows her world exists beyond her feet too
- Remains fresh, knows it helps
- Breathers come out of adventures too
- Doesn’t hesitate in drawing lines
- Stylish always, funky sometimes
- Always plans wisely
I know I have not gone overboard and I know I am stopping too soon.
We thank you for your faith in the team at Twitsnaps.
And, Gul – keep spreading strength all around.

Many things in life have a ledger account, you get some and you give some and the trades get logged in, if nowhere else than somewhere in some corner of your mind. Love has no ledger account it is sans boundaries and sans accounting principles. Love of course has excuses, which its proponents liberally use to demonstrate love’s abundance and alacrity. It is for love that countless battles and innumerable wars have been fought, most for love of, or for the beloved. Battles for beloved take the shape of all or nothing, in battles which are for as precious and priceless form as beloved but not for beloved nothing is never an option. It is all, if I lose – I go doesn’t exist.
So, I go and I go and continue chasing that ultimate victory which would bring me back to the regular life of peaks and valleys, day and night, fun and fight, freedom and fright, I am missing it but the battle is bigger and the battle is raging on.

Hold, don’t start counting, there are many more nerves which would breakdown and there are many unbelievable scenarios you would start believing in. Battles have this unique trait about them, the miseries never stop and the calamities never cease.
I would like to believe and move on to accept that what seemed like a battle to be won would actually be a full drawn war in which all battles must be won. Life is likely to become more complex and at the same time I may have to deploy my energies to fight simultaneously at more than couple of fronts. I am not to sure about the shape of posts from tomorrow on this subject but I am sure there would be battles, war and posts.
Few top of the mind thoughts on life which just changed.
- Life is never the same so never expect it to be the same.
- Good words are generally spoken by those who come to offer condolences.
- If the nights are dark and ugly the mornings can be scorching and horrible.
- Bonds of love don’t need contracts and contracts would never hold any love.
- In your battle you can never be all alone, if you are the battle is insignificant anyway.
- True stories and real life examples can never be an assurance for correctness.
- There are always eyes which look up to you.
- There would be costly mistakes.
- Vested interests don’t carry a placard, they always arrive and operate unannounced.
- There are always some who continuously add problems. There being still there is your problem.
- If you keep your name “Respect” – you won’t start getting it.
- Reciprocity operates in make believe, real time has harder commitments.
There can be more battles than one and in some wars…. All Battles Must Be Won
