  On the eve of New Year meeting with a friend- teacher. Some time ago, I met my friend who is also a teacher at the school. On looking him, he appeared cheerful and contented. His reply surprised me when I asked him why he looked relaxed and satisfied. He said that he was stress-free due to school off during the Corona pandemic. I thought over his reaction. After some time, I was convinced the teaching job at school as full of stress. Further, he expressed to his thought that ongoing year has given him lots of new things such as time and thought for sharpening new skill, meeting the people, helping others selflessly, listening to elders and much more. In that way, he shared that he could start a new venture due to the 2020 year. On listening to him, I was surprised by him. On the other hand, people like teachers were completely tired of school management and salary issues in 2020. We have seen that they struggled till the last moment of the year. But my friend transformed hi...

  Mother’s love Last week I noticed that the young lady with her two children was perhaps returning to home. She was with her mother in law. All of them were walking on the road. Suddenly they came across the relative on the bike. They were happy to see him. Then, the old lady invited him to their home for a cup of tea. After long thinking, the man was ready to go with them. At that moment, the man politely asked both children to come with him on the bike. The elder one sat on it, but younger liked to be with his mother. He clung the mother’s hand tightly. He gladly waved to his elder brother. The man drove the bike little ahead but stopped it at once. The mother looked at them with a worried face. Surprisingly the elder child got down the bike and ran towards his mother. The man told them that the child requested him to stop. The child said that he liked to come with his mother. On hearing it, the mother put hand lovingly on him. She sensed his love for her as his mother. Perh...

These days I am concerned about my self –development. I have no good source of income. So I don’t get money and work freedom. Other aspects also push me ahead or into darkness. I feel bored and stagnant. It pressurizes me, further I am puzzled over what work to be done. However, I tried to share my thoughts with my friends. But I didn’t find any new thing in them. It seemed to me that they were already in the confusion mode or unclear way. Therefore, I didn’t insist on them and their guidance. Being responsible, I need to work upon my development. First of all, I have to fix my time table for writing and work schedule. Then, I must follow it strictly and responsibly. With slow, I can go ahead and be myself. I don’t need to compare myself with others. That is self-suggestion for me and work upon self- affirmation. This way, I can come out of the web of the constant and mental thought area. Happy writing Happy living  

  Today my life goes on like this………..! Nowadays, I am just passing my time without any meaningful task. Further, I am not maintaining my writing work and reading anything. Somewhat I feel depressed due to salary issue and family pressure. Most of the time, want to sleep and doing it happily. I don’t like to take any challenge but run away from the commitment. I even don’t realise the cause of such happenings. I keep dreaming of success without any efforts. On the other hand, I developed the habit of listening to the family. It always scolds and blames to me. Inside I developed the tolerance and excuses. Still, I don’t get why this is happening. What to do and not to do? The questions are before me and tangled me for unnecessary things. The surprising point is that I look for self-pity and borrowing money. In this way, I am going astray and not getting the solutions. I hope that I will get back on my enthusiastic routine. Let me restart my mission with a vision.

 The farmers' protest is a stage for TRP of media or leader making programme for politicians. Any protest in India becomes a stage for a politician to shine in media. Nowadays Farmer protest has been going on since last two week. It is related to the withdrawal of the agricultural reformation bill. However, it became a TRP for media or leader making programme for political parties. Somewhat political parties or ruling parties failed to convince the farmers. On the other side, the opposition started mingling its agenda with the farmer protest and just adding woes to the farmers’ protest.  Everybody is talking about their problems now, but nobody is getting how to solve it. They are just getting the attention of the common people and showing them that they are very worried about the farmers or the common people. Some of them sit at home and twit on social media, and others just either re-twit or comment on it. Further, it becomes a talk of the nation. Two of the shocking facts c...

  Happiness is a state of mind, it comes out of good feeling and mood. So we have to train feeling and mood accordingly. But we never realise it, and we lose our temper due to a bad mood. Consequently, happiness seems to be like kangaroo runs after smelling in a desert. Therefore happiness depends upon our mood. The mood comes out of mental satisfaction. Let me share a story with you, one of my friends Sandip Sharma, who is also a Spoken English trainer, always keeps the packets of Parle biscuits. He offers it to unknown people while walking in the garden. Then he looks very happy and satisfied. On asking him about it, he shared with me that he feels good after offering it to unknown or poor people. It means that he makes his feeling good and have a sense of happiness.  In this way, we can also get happiness and keep life better. We can do some social service in the sake of feeling better. We need to think of only help others selflessly. Automatically we can have lots of happi...

  A creative vegetable vendor Today I came across a vegetable seller who was just 18 years. He was very creative in selling his vegetable within half an hour. Imagine what idea he could use to sell his vegetables on the lorry. He made a packet of a variety of vegetables. He kept three potatoes, three tomatoes, coriander, four to five green chillies and a handful of peas in a plastic bag. He sold it in only ten rupees. I saw another packet which was packed with a handful of ladyfingers. Three tomatoes, four to five green chillies, coriander and garlic. Another was packed with three potatoes, one cabbage, four green chillies and three onions.            In that way, he made various packets and sold them within half an hour in ten rupees. He replied to me interestingly that the housewives looked at his vegetable packets cheaper as well as affordable. Further, it was within their money management. So he kept that idea of making various packets of the veget...
