The Fine Line in School Life

Image
  How much can a balloon hold air or water? To be frank, I don't know. It just breaks at some point. That means, there is a limit. School life is the best experience one could ever have in ones lifetime.  You are full of energy. Everything is possible. Nothing can stop you from whatever you are planning to do. You are not accountable for your actions, someone else will take it for you. You are free. You do not have to be responsible. You can peacefully dream in front of a book.  But the actions and choices you made is what creates your future. There is always a fine line between  Right and wrong.  The limit you can go and cannot go. The words you can and cannot use. When we cross that line ether you become a  Winner or loser Saint or Sinner Police or a Criminal And how can we know where the line is? Let me give you an example. When you inflate a balloon with Helium air, it expands. If we continue to fill it without thought, it may burst. However, if we are careful, we can stop at t

The Silence

Image
 " The beauty of silence lies in the all-encompassing sound that comforts and helps one feel at ease in their own environment. " Silence has its own sound, which is something I never would have thought about. During the time that I was perched above the Himalayas, the lofty peaks covered in snow were being caressed by the gentle clouds. The sky was a shade of blue that no human can recreate it. At that point, we would get the sense that we are extremely insignificant in every meaning of the word. Sitting on a little rock, I closed my eyes to absorb the beauty. At that moment, I felt this overwhelming silence. Despite the fact that there were other people around and enjoying this sight with boisterous noises, those noises were unable to break through the silence within me. It was like a blanket wrapped on a cold winter night. It was like the mother's womb protecting us from the outside world. I never wanted to come out of this experience. I felt at home at that moment.  Si

The Power of Word

Image
 "If the word you utter doesn't help the bearer or the receiver to grow, then don't utter it." Last day I met a person, who really talks a lot and convincingly too. But the issue was, she talks when she is faced with a problem. Her words are so harsh and so angry that I got a piece of it at the receiving end. I cannot blame her because she was unconscious of her behaviour. So, I just told her to stop talking. But she couldn't hear it, she was going on talking. Then I knew, she would never hear anyone. So I asked her to stop and told her, one sentence, "Reach the goal without giving any explanation." We are all here for a purpose, no matter whatever reasons you give, you are supposed to fulfil it. Since we don't know for what we are here for, we live our daily life fulfilling our small goals, like:- Taking care of our personal needs,  The duties we need to fulfil at home, as a father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, etc... The d

Don't Let Life Surprise You

Image
  Hi guys I think this is the second time it is happening. I really do not like being in the centre of attention, no matter what. But unfortunately, I end up pushed in the front. Our organization has several projects. Since I am a measly secretary, I was of the thought, that I don't need to participate in any programs, I need to distribute, coffee and snacks. So in one of the programs conducted by one of the projects, I wore a normal daily wear dress and ready to serve the guests. Believe it or not, I ended up sitting in the front seat where everyone could see me along with the President of the Organization. Imagine!!!! That is life. Always be prepared even if you are the sweeper of the firm, be prepared. Don't let life surprise you. See you soon.

You Hurt Me Once upon A Time

Image
Yesterday, I met a boy, who was still hurting because he was not acknowledged with the right number of pledges uploaded in an app. He really worked hard on it and his supervisor, told his numbers less than he had uploaded and his colleague's more than he uploaded and yesterday was 6 months and still he is hurting. What will happen to his life? Let's evaluate, if he doesn't solve his hurt. His performance will reduce.  He will not be interested in work at all. He will become sick because the hormones of hate and hurt are acidic in nature which cause damage to his body and some of the organs too in the process. What happens, if he forgives and forgets this incident? Healthier relationships. Improved mental health. Less anxiety, stress and hostility. Fewer symptoms of depression. Lower blood pressure. A stronger immune system. Improved heart health. Improved self-esteem. Only thing I want to say is, no matter who hurts you or degrades you, what you should feel is your choice.

The World Points Its Finger at You.

  Today my son told me, "I am inconsistent because I learned it from you". Actually it was true. So why am I like that?  When a person tend to do several activities to ward off a flaw, mine here is laziness, which is one giant of a flaw that can overtake me at any moment, time can become a bit limited. Since my innate nature is "Lazy", I have set a day for me to be lazy which happens to be a Sunday. On that day, I am a cave woman (In the literal sense of the word).  The rest of the days, I try to occupy myself with several activities which I do not have any clue about along with my daily routine. So, when trying to do activities which I do not have any idea, I continue with it until I gain a certain amount of mastery and when I get a grasp of it, it starts becoming boring, that is when I naturally give it a break. Unfortunately, the people around will feel I am inconsistent. And I have no excuse for that. What excuse should I give? Don't you think I would sound

Don't Regret Your Past

Image
Hi Guys!!! Children have no past, which makes childhood fun.  As we age, life becomes serious, realistic, hard work, seasoned. In short, we have everything, except fun.  What changed? We became adults.  As adults, we lose spontaneousness throwing away the sense of adventure in deciding at the spur of the moment. We started to think what other's think. And every adult has a reason for all these - Their past or someone else's past.   In our pasts we have our fair share of mistakes, missed chances, and "what-ifs"  So what?  Do you regret it? Don't be. If we had the capability to know what the outcome would be, we would have selected the best outcome choice. Since we don't have that, we chose what we felt to do at that time. And it was the right choice for us at that time because we did all the mathematics (Unfortunately I am 0 in Mathematics😔), and decided on the right one. If it became a mistake, then that's good. If It became a success, then that's als

Today's Friend Is Your Tomorrow's Foe

Image
Human Beings are social beings.  They are among people. They have to be sociable. Each person have their own feelings and emotions. Each person have their own life experiences. Each person has their own way of behaviour. On good days, human beings behave lovingly and very friendly. On bad days some people close themselves from hurt and become silent, for some others they become loud and behave badly by lashing out. In short, human beings are unpredictable.  The only thing you need to know is,  Always behave kindly and respectfully to you and the people around you.  Love yourself and others unconditionally and deeply  Never share yours or others secrets to anyone because, "Today's friend can become tomorrow's foe." That's  not anyone's fault.  That is how we all are. But life continues and this foe becomes your friend again. Accept this unpredictability of life and live to your best of your capability with love unconditionally and in peace. Don't close your

The Best Way To Take Revenge On Someone

Image
When someone treats you unfairly or humiliates you. When someone hurts you. Don't be angry. No matter how much you shout or throw or bash things those people would feel that you are immature. You are too childish to talk to. They would say in their minds - Grow up Man. That means - Anger is not an option.  So then how should you take revenge on those guys? Answer :- With your skill, with your passion, with what you do best.  If you want to take revenge on someone, be a better human being than them. Develop a skill and help as many people as you can and tell to your Self, "I am who I am because of those kind people who hurt me, who humiliated me, who was unfair to me." Thank them from the bottom of your heart. In short, whenever someone hurts you, don't think of bringing anger into the picture, plea....se.  Just smile and say thank you, because now you know, they are the stepping stones to your future successes. Remember, no one can change the situation except you. So

The Right Choice

Image
  Hi Guys Last day I happened to attend a class. There the speaker spoke about choices, which made me think.  "If there was a life without choices...... " We make innumerable choices a day, consciously, unconsciously, sub consciously, at the spur of the moment, choices out of feelings like anger, hatred, love, etc.....  Anyway, I don't want to judge anyone on their choices, each one has their own reasons for making their choices, right? But, I want to give you some facts of human being's biology and how our choices affect our biology and destiny.  First, let's know human biology The heroes of man - The five sense organs. It is what decides how a man thinks. You don't believe me. Just check this out. My best friend hurt me -  I saw it, I heard it  and this information is sent to the intelligence and from there the mind took over and shouted loudly,  She is your best friend, she hurt you - So naturally I am very very hurt. Again the mind shouts,  "A best fr

Falling Sick Doesn't Mean You are Dying

  My cousin was diagnosed and it eventually developed to 4th stage cancer. When you are dead bent on seeking treatment for cancer, the patient has to undergo a long and arduous roller coaster ride with medications and the body's aversion to accept it. When the medication is stopped, the patient's body is too tired to even think on its own.  Unknown about the situation of the body, the family of the patient makes a big effort to revive the patient back to normal which we call in the human language as "Caring". That's when the body acts up. Its not because it wants to act up, its because the body has lost its equipments to face the normal world which the patient was before. He is literally an infant, so the care and the food he receives is alien to the body. Unfortunately, people just want to be healthy as fast as possible. Now let me get to the reason why I am writing this post. In reality,  when the body acts up after this loving care of the family, we have starte

The Stone

  "The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone depends on how high you raise your foot." When I heard this sentence, I really felt wow! The same stone with two definitions? Cool!!!  In life we are always at this cross road of choice, we always have to choose one thing or the other. The situations we are in can either become a S tumbling Block where we always feel we are a failure or a loser, Or it can be a Stepping Stone , where success is at every corner. So now, the million dollar question. How do make the right choice?  It's simple. Choose the decision that increases your love and respect for your Self.  If your decision makes you hate your Self. Then the decision you made will become a stumbling block.  Always remember, "People around you, your family, friends, foes, country men, etc. etc. they will all  leave  you at some point of time. But Your  "Self", no matter where you are, with whom you are, it will always be with you, your sol

Why are Teenagers Weird?

Image
Hey guys!!!   Last day, my friend's daughter, a teenager, bunked (skipped) class and threw a tantrum(shouting with anger) when asked about it. Her parents gaped at her shocking behaviour. But in reality, she didn't feel like going to school, so she didn't go. It's as simple as that. We do it as an adult, don't we? And have you felt any odd about the situation?   Why do teenagers act weirdly?     Well, first we should know what happens to a teenager at this age. When we plant a seed in the soil, it will be like a seed for some days in the soil. That is like the childhood of human beings. Before the seed sprouts, the body of the seed swells and bursts to bring out the leaf. That is what happens for a teenager too. Their whole body structure is being modified completely.   Let’s check in detail the fine print of human body of a teenager. The teenage years are also called adolescence. This is the time for growth spurts and sexual maturation.      First we will check the
