#ShareTheLoad responsibly!

What we often come to see in the society at a large is that the household activities are largely being seen as the tasks and the responsibilities of the women, and such prejudices are being passed and thought  in the similar fashion by the future generations as well. They are quite forced to think on the same lines as they see and learn from the elders and other members around themselves, that girls should take up the household responsibilities no matter if they are working or not, or busy with some other work elsewhere. These are all due to lots of prejudices prevailing in the society as to teach the girls all of the household activities so that she can take of her family marriage such as to cook food, laundry, and related activities. They lack the examples of breaking down this myth of the responsibility of the household activities being meant for girls or the females in the family. 

It is important to address the issue as soon as possible and thus create better individuals of the children coming up in the society. It is high time we realize that women hold equal role and position in the society and thus should not be burdened with unnecessary and vague responsibilities when they can be shared among the family members and the work- load can be efficiently divided and taken up by all the individuals in the family which shall lessen the work pressure on the ladies in the house.

It is important to teach children to be self dependent and to teach them how to do their tasks on their own. No prejudices should be passed on to them so that they do not boss around in a wrong manner in future, and shall value and regard their partner and other ladies in the family. Sharing of the household work should be taken up like sharing of the food and other things which would bring sense of pleasure, respect and enjoyment in the relations in the family. 

The need of the hour is breakdown the stereotypes in the society, take a strong stand and set up strong examples in the society which shall lead to healthy upbringing of the coming generations because children by seeing, imitating and following their elders in the family. The first learning of the children starts at home, and care should be taken that the right teachings and learnings are carried forward.

The Potter And The Clay Marvel

Here, while sharing the load and transferring the abilities in the progenies about the sharing of loads in the household chores and activities, I would begin by citing an example of the potter and the clay, where the potter is the elder individual in the family and children are the clay. The potter holds the clay and gives it the direction and moulds it, and the clay gets moulded in the fashion that the potter aspires and desires to have for the clay he is designing and moulding. In the similar fashion the child gets moulded upon seeing the acts and behaviour of the elder individuals in the family and thus the actions have to to be properly guided in order to bring up a generation that would understand the need of sharing the responsibilities equally and taking up the tasks without holding any prejudices.

What we often come to see is that the household activities are largely being seen as the responsibilities of the women, and such prejudices are being passed in the future generations as well. They too think on the same lines that girls should take up the household responsibilities no matter if they are working or not, or busy with some other work elsewhere. These are all due to lots of prejudices prevailing in the society as to teach the girls all of the household activities so that she can take of her family marriage such as to cook food, laundry, and related activities.

It is important to address the issue as soon as possible and thus create better individuals of the children coming up in the society. It is high time we realize that women hold equal role and position in the society and thus should not be burdened with unnecessary and vague responsibilities when they can be shared among the family members and the work- load can be efficiently divided and taken up by all the individuals in the family which shall lessen the work pressure on the ladies in the house. The need of the hour is breakdown the stereotypes in the society, take a strong stand and set up strong examples in the society which shall lead to healthy upbringing of the coming generations because children by seeing, imitating and following their elders in the family. The first learning of the children starts at home, and care should be taken that the right teachings and learnings are carried forward.

Thus, it is essential to learn the potter and his clay marvel to implement in our daily lives, because that we how we assume and shape ourselves, and others.

The #fantastico passion guide!

Life is filled with huge amount fun and frolics, depending on how one perceives it. Passion is something that one installs into one’s own life according to the wishes and aspirations. These cannot be imposed or pushed. I would call passion as something pious as no one could ever and would never have control over it for someone else as other things. We human beings can be controlled and bounded for rather anything except this divine thing called passion.

Having a passion and being passionate about something is really an amazing experience. We need to develop and formulate ourselves towards this passion that would make us complete for our own satisfaction.

To this date, there have been things that I am so passionate about. Few of them being: 

Life

Life is something that has a huge flow and continued to teach with each passing moment. The moments that life has offered and served on the platter are the actual and real life experiences, quite different from reel life. We all as individuals need to accept the reality and the truth of life, and make our best efforts to make it accountable to our own selves, and hold ourselves responsible for our lives, for we are the creators of our own destiny. I would love to make my life beautiful and amazing.

Creativity

Towards stepping into the unknown has always been my aim-line and falling into the pits and facing the downfalls several times before actually leading into something desirable is how I define creativity for myself. It has its amazing charm and brings the immense happiness to me and others around me. Failures in the path have never deterred me and instead have motivated me to take the essential risks which would ultimately be guided towards success through failures and downfalls.

Intellect and Intelligence

The two different aspects that make a great combination if found together. These are the qualities that I am most passionate about and try each moment to inculcate the best in times into me, for these would never leave me and might lead to being wise or towards the attainment of peace and wisdom. Learning from the experiences of life and absorbing the intellect from life's offerings are the best lessons that one comes across in the process and the journey of life.

Traveling

Traveling through different places leads me to the process of becoming a better person through practical experiences. Traveling has improved my knowledge and the huge plethora of understanding life in better ways, making the rightest choices among the choices available and moving towards being a better human for one’s own self and others.

Peace

The exploration of life that we all human beings set ourselves into must ultimately lead to something that grants us the tranquillity in life, for there is nothing as serene and soothing as peace. Peace is something I have always yearned for and has transformed me into a person that I am. This makes the journey worthwhile and meaningful with the accomplishment of achievements of the life that one aspires for.

These are few of the things that I have been passionate about and shall definitely make efforts to inculcate them in life. It is important to maintain the positivity in life with the passion following and leading life graciously with the hopes that one has from oneself.

The fantastico idea of love!

The most eternal feelings of all, Love. While coming to define it, we are restricting it and putting boundaries across the limitless. Well coming to approach and reflect upon it, there is never a perfect time or place for when true love occurs to a person or it should be like it happens to a person. It just happens, and most often happens accidentally. This could be in a heartbeat, or in a single flashing, or some throbbing moment. And when you come to realize that such things are happening to you and creating an all together a different environment around you with a sense of amazing kind of excitement turning the smiles of on one's face more intense and warm, oh well, it is the time you are in love. Okay, may be some other thing could also be a reason, but here I am sure, love is one of them and tops the list.

With the things set in mind and to make your crush turned to your love, is the most amazing happening of an individual. So, the efforts in making that conversion should be well planned and executed, to avoid the regrets, for it has its own reasons. With love in the atmosphere that sets in the air with the beginning of a new year, things make more sense for the one in love or about to make a welcome of the love in their life.

Now, to get to the task, knowing my friend well enough, I would like to go ahead with the things that of interest to both of us and shall keep in mind not to make any weird act or any sort of nuisance, of which I am a champ. First things first, food. Since she is interested in having cuisine made by me, I shall prepare a cake and chocolate brownies for her. Cake and chocolate being the best on the list to set the mood great and begin the day. So making these delicacies would be a great idea, I would be ready with a cake, different from the previous times, carrying a gentle message that would be convincing and taking the lead.

Next would be going around for some sight-seeing, which both of us like to merge ourselves with the nature. It is a great idea to spend the time in the laps of the nature with your partner as it makes both the people more understanding about each other. It is great way of knowing and discovering other person in better and healthy ways while spending time in the nature. This could be a walk along the roadside, or in a park, or boating around at a sight, or may be even sitting under a tree.

Lastly at the end of the day, would be to drop a message into her car front seat which would be like - "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride. I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, and there would be better things ahead awaiting us. I would always be waiting for the happy times and even the more merrier times because any amount of time spent together would be less by your side."

Impact of hopes and aspirations!

Hopes and aspirations hold a significant place in our lives and we must not be ignorant of them. We must be positive in our actions and deeds and must lead life graciously in a hopeful manner. There are certain acts that I would definitely wish to take up once I attain the stability which I would take up for the satisfaction of myself and others. Some of them would be:

Making adequate facilities for the education of the children: Providing the schooling and educational services to all the children of the country is the prime dream of mine. It is a great wish and dream of mine to see every child of this country as an educated individual. I wish there would be a day in India when the literacy percentage in India would be 100% and the country would be a learned nation. This would lead to the eradication of improper management in the families and life of the individuals. Also, this would bring prosperity and peace in the lives of the people.

Making adequate facilities to be made available for the old age people: In the recent times where the old age homes are being flooded with the old age people, shall make them avail the best possible services. I shall take up steps that would make them happy in the last days of their life. I wish everyone realizes that the old aged people of the country are not left out. Their health is main concern in the old age. Also, the individuals should realize it is a bad idea to leave them in their old age when they need the family's and their children's love, care and warmth.

Making special efforts for the autistic people: Since the people are still unaware of the autism and its consequences, shall make efforts largely to educate people about these abnormalities. The autism is on a rise and it is important that people are more knowledgeable about this particular disorder where the special kids are abnormal in their learning habits and other daily activities. They should be given proper care and facilities so that their proper growth is ensured. These special children should not be left out and brought up in an adequate and appropriate way.

Providing the adequate sanitation facilities within the villages and remote areas of India: The villages and remote areas of the country have the inadequate sanitation facilities. These should be take care of and facilities should be provided to them so that diseases do not spread through improper sanitation and also proper care is taken in terms of health management.

Making the health and hospitality services for the poor people of India: The health is a main concern for any individual. I wish I could do my bit to make the hospitality and health services easily available for the poor people who cannot afford the health care practices. The efforts could be made by making the basic medicines available for them free of cost. Also, health care facilities for the pregnant women, new-born babies, and old people who face critical issues should be provided with good health practices so that they do not battle with their life.

I wish, one day I would be able to fulfil and bring to mainframe the execution of these wishes, hopes and aspirations, that would bring me pleasures and happiness, and to others too.

Impact of learning in life!

Life is an opportunity and we must hail it and learn from the instances that come our way, whether it may be success or failure. Being optimistic is a great art and every individual must possess it, for it has its own charm and aura associated with it. It is one of the most amazing weapon that one can ever be in possession of. This comes with different lessons and learning in life. Life is a wonderful teacher that teaches us different arts in different degrees.

I have always been a pampered child and never had to face any difficulties and hardships in life. I should be thankful to Almighty for these splendid showering that he has upon me for keeping me blessed throughout this journey of life where now I have seen enough number of people suffering due to their problems and situations they are thrown upon by life. It is all through the optimism levels that I have come to learn by now. This happened on fine day when I visited to a special kids school with my cousin who has a special child. I mentioned the word "special" here twice in my last sentence because they are not normal kids and their state is differently designed, for they are autistic, their thinking levels are different, unlike we normal humans.

I saw lots of parents there with their kids, children taking special care of them. The team that was making efforts to handle them and teach them the basic things and imparting lessons to them. Also, there was a team of doctors and psychologists there. I managed to talk to a doctor there, where I was told about this ailment of autism. I happened to learn a lot of things like their mindset, what kind of abnormalities are these, what is the cause of their occurrence, and a lot of other questions that I was answered by the doctor whom I managed to be a friend till date. I still contact her for several of my queries related to these special kids as I began my studies on them. As the time passed by, the things were coming as an eye-opener for me with each passing day. I was learning something new each day. Also, people in India are largely unaware about this particular disorder.

With each passing day, I was learning to be positive. There were changes in my behaviour and in my attitude towards life. I am a changed person as of now for there are lots of blessings that I have always enjoyed and I would continue to cherish and relinquish. I decided to be hopeful about the situations and happenings around me. I decided to talk to people more often about this disorder so that more and more people are aware of it and they make others aware of it. Though it can be totally cured but there are efforts that everyone of us can make in making things better for them, instead of neglecting and ignoring them. Also, government and non-government organisations are coming up these days to address this issue and taking steps to make things better for kids with autism and special needs. Awareness for this particular cause has to be brought among the people so that they do not see it as a curse and disappointment and instead learn to fight the disorder with the right attitude in life. It is important to have such learnings in life as they make a person strong.

Impact of decision making in life!

Decision making is an important aspect of life and it has huge impact in various fields of life that one leads. Life is in real sense, a very good teacher and it teaches us humans lot of thing at different instances to everyone of us in several ways taking us to capture different heights. We need to take up the learnings in life as they come up and take up the essential steps that are needed at each time to make right things happen at the right time. This would lead to the attainment of great results and achievements and shall ultimately lead to the path of success.

The strong ideas that are needed to be taken up in life must be taken by analysing the pros and cons, risks and consequences associated with them and thus appropriate measures and calculations must be done while taking up the proceedings that we need to keep to success and move ahead in life. A single move can change the life plan and destiny of where we want to go in life. Also, the decisions that we take one after the other help us in conquering our fears and taking the lead in life in a convenient way. It is important that we plan out on our aims and visions and take up the moves and important decisions which are needed to approach towards our goal.

It is important for an individual to be decisive in life and these skills should be imparted from the early school days by making children involved in several leadership qualities which would enable children to take up stand for themselves and help them in decision making. The early childhood lessons have a huge impact on the learning of children to take up their own decisions.

It is important for every individual to be confident and strong enough to faces the challenges in life, as they give a lot of learning and make a person strong and capable. I would like to go ahead by narrating an incident where I took a decision which had a huge implication in in life, that was to step out of my normal routine and daily schedule, plan out things and work according to the new boundaries and make things happen and work for myself so that I could attain peace with my mind to achieve what I have been aspiring for a long time. Leaving the home and taking a lead to stand out of it is one of the most difficult tasks that one ever does in life, for the comforts of home are never met anywhere else. Also, the deprivation of the love of mom and dad, and staying away from them is not easy.

After my graduation, when I was asked to make a choice between my job or to join the family business, I decided to follow my instincts and go out of the comfort zone to earn my living by learning in the job environment for learning professionalism and carrying forward my desire of being an IT professional. It was difficult initially, as I never stayed away from home prior to this. There are lot of other hurdles that one comes across in this attempt and I too face the same. There are issues like taking care of laundry and food, which at home are being fulfilled and handled by mother, without letting me bother about any single thing.  Also, there is a lot of struggle that one faces while staying away from home, which one often takes for granted while the person is at home. But after several years of struggle I have been able to come out as a strong individual and this has made me an individual that I am. 

As an IT professional I learnt a lot of things in life like the art of management, art of living, handling out activities in a responsible manner, taking care of the slightest home-care and household needs, and last but not the least, the importance of family members. It transformed me into a responsible individual and made me confident and strong to take up important decisions in life with strong will power. Decision making is an art and one must learn it tactfully. It has a huge impact and makes a huge difference in the life of an individual.

The #Fantastico day well spent!

In the journey of life, it is quite difficult to be optimistic through all the days, because there are several ups and downs through which an individual goes in a lifetime. It is a high virtue to be optimistic in life, but there are times when one feels low on energy to take things forward. It is because sometimes the energy levels go down and at those points in life a little nudge is needed to set back right on the track and give the best shot in the endeavours in life. Though internet has made the world seem a tiny place through the fast paced communication - video calls and conferencing, messages, applications, etc to keep oneself updated on what is happening in life, the physical presence of the person you love being the most is always felt. There are no ways which can justify the meeting of the person you long to wait.

I was waiting for the vacations of my brother who had been to US for his higher studies. For almost an year he did not visit us for he could not get enough number of holidays to spend quality time with us at home, so he decided to give us a long visit. We all were waiting impatiently for the time to arrive so that we all could be together again and spend the time together, for it had been quite long since all the family members met and had a quality time.

He has been the most loved child of the family and thus the waiting got more impatient and exciting and every single day near to his visit mattered to him a lot. And after a long wait, he was finally there, and four family members went to receive him at the airport. And when he arrived, for quite obvious reasons, for over 12 hours flight, we allowed him to rest for the day, but the funny part was we all cousins were involved in unpacking the stuff and find the gifts that he had bought for us. And when he finally got up, he did not find his stuff, for we all cousins had planned in advance to follow it up in this manner. But he knew that we all had been playing around and he was also enjoying with us.

We all cousins planned for the outing which included a movie scene and then a dinner, which was to be followed by celebrations at India Gate. The plan was easy and simple and all were ready for it. We all were waiting for this moment to arrive as soon as possible and have a healthy time where we all would be howling and jumping together in joys. We all cousins had got gifts for him. He was surprised to see so many gifts around him. We tried our best to make him feel special and give him the best memories that he would carry with himself while on his way back to US again.  

I wish everyday was like this day, where the smiles and joys knew no end. I miss his presence. Everyone in the family misses him. He is a person filled with energy throughout even in the tough and testing times.

The fanstastico smile!

When we walk through the path of life, it is quite difficult to be positive and happy all the time. The best one can do is try and hope for the best by making one's life beautiful and also by bringing happiness to others which is a source of multiple joys. This is because there are several ups and downs through which an individual goes in a lifetime. It is a high virtue to be positive in life, but there are times when one feels low on energy to take things forward. Smile is a great virtue and one must learn this art of smiling and being happy in life for it makes several problems easy and also sweeps away the worries of life. It is important that one keeps a smiling attitude in life. This makes an individual to grow at a higher pace and also makes one more acceptable at the work place as well as home, and also in all the situations in life. A smiling face is welcomed everywhere in life.

Though internet has made the world seem a tiny place through the fast paced communication - video calls and conferencing, messages, applications, etc to keep oneself updated on what is happening in life, the physical presence of the person you love being the most is always felt. There are no ways which can justify the meeting of the person you long to wait. I always loved to be with my grandfather. He has always carried a smiling face and looking at him takes me away from all kinds of worries that I have in life. The best and the most memorable days and memories of my life are with him. He taught the most amazing lessons of life in a very easy and elegant manner that one could not miss the learning. He had the most easy ways of getting the most difficult things done in life. His teachings have brought me to this level. He always had a smiling attitude in life and always taught others the same lessons and ways. He taught me the important lessons of optimism, discipline and dedication.  As a child whenever I used to feel low in life, he was the one to notice it first and throw our the negativity from me and make me all pumped up with energy and enthusiasm. He left for the heavenly abode around 4 years ago, and I dearly miss his company or no one else understood me better than he could. Also, even till date no one could do it better. I remember the ways he used to celebrate and rejoice at all my results, birthdays and achievements. He always made the arrangements and never missed to surprise me gifts and his blessings. 

One day I decided to do the best and celebrate his birthday and give him surprises. It was his 80th birthday. I planned to be with him for the whole day, and gift him million smiles the way he has been spreading smiles across everyone's face. I decided to take off from college and doing things which would bring him joys and happiness, and spending all of my time with him. I had asked my father to get me a cake and a new dress for my grandfather to be ready few days ago. He wore the new dhoti-kurta and was ready at sharp 4.30 a.m in the morning to go to temple. The day began on a great note by visiting the Gauri Shankar Temple in Chandni Chowk. We offered the prayers to Lord Shiva and on our way back we got jalebis and kachoris packed for everyone in the family. These are pure joys for my family. They enjoy these delights crazily.

In the afternoon, my grandfather on his birthday got me a new sports cycle which I have been long demanding from my father. Even on his birthday, he got me my wish fulfilled. I was loving the day.

In the evening, everyone helped me and decorated the home to celebrate the occasion of my grandpa's birthday. My mother prepared his favourite dishes - moong dal halwa, dal-makhni, paneer korma and tandoori naan. Around 7 p.m we all family members gathered to celebrate the grand day. We all had so much fun. Everyone laughed, smiled and danced. The best was my grandparents couple dance, the main attraction of the day. It was lovely to see everyone in the family happy and smiling. We all dined together and exchanged a lot of laughter. At the end of the party he gave all of us a very good lesson on life to be always smiling and look forward in life with a good attitude which will take us to new heights. He told us not to frown in the difficult times and should see them as opportunities to learn and move ahead in the journey life of life gracefully.

I wish everyday was like this day, where the smiles and joys know no end. I miss his presence. Everyone in the family misses him. He was a person filled with energy and optimism throughout his life even in the tough and testing times.

Impact of patience in life!

Patience is a great virtue and every individual must hold it in life. It takes an individual to new heights of success. It also instills lots of positivity in life and makes life easier, merrier and happier. Life teaches a lot of things at different instances to everyone in its own ways. It has its ways of imparting lessons. One needs to take up the essential learnings in life and make differences into one's own life and into the life of others. The essential chapters and learnings in life are needed at each time to make right things happen at the right time. This would lead to the attainment of great results and achievements and shall ultimately lead to the path of success.

The important decisions and learnings that are needed to be taken up in life must be taken by analysing the risks and consequences associated with them and thus appropriate measures and calculations must be done while taking up the moves that we need to keep to success and lead ahead in life. A single step can change the life plan and destiny of where we want to go in life. Also, the ways and means that we take one after the other help us in conquering our fears and taking the lead in life in a convenient way that would bring smiles to everyone around us. It is important that one plans out on the aims and visions and take up the ways that are needed to approach towards the goal.

There have been testing times in my life. I would like to narrate a short incident of my life where having patience in the testing times helped me to move ahead in better ways. It was to step out of my comfort arena and make things happen at the ground level by working for the society so that I could attain peace with my mind to achieve what I have been aspiring for. Moving out of the home and taking such an important decision in life is not an easy one for any individual. It sometimes turns out to be a difficult experience and one needs to face several challenges associated with it. It is important that one takes the chances by calculating and analysing the several factors associated with the challenge. The life of home cannot be met anywhere else and thus one should do the analysis and make plans accordingly. 

It was difficult take in my life as I have never been away from home for long durations, and as a matter of fact faced lot of tough and hard situations before me. There were several things I had to manage and take care on my own. All of it required the amazing skill of patience and determination. Patience helped me to conquer and manage the tasks in a proper manner and I could achieve the plans that I decided upon by the end of the day. 

I worked hard on my plans and goals. I made my best efforts to reach the goal and bring smile to my parents and be a reason for their happiness. Staying away from the near and dear ones was once a challenge but it taught me a lot of things in life. It taught me better management lessons, life's etiquettes and manners, how to proceed in life keeping confidence and determination intact. It transformed me into a responsible individual and made me confident and strong to take up important decisions in life with strong will power along with the important virtues of patience. At the end of all the efforts were the results and there I could make everyone proud when I was being awarded for so many things with the onset of happiness in life.

Impact of books on life!

Books are a source of great amount of knowledge and inspiration in life. One who reads books can never feel the emptiness within oneself and shall always be filled with life and energy. Well, when we get to describe on the things that make very moment of life enjoyable and worth celebrating, we get both, materialistic and realistic. We look around ourselves for a lot of things and options that grant us the happiest moments and make our times merrier and worth memorizing. All of us should make the best efforts to celebrate and live each moment of life gracefully and make them memorable. It is important that all individuals should realize the importance and value of their life and make themselves and everyone around them happy which gives ultimate bliss in life.

The things which have become important in life to live and make each moment valueable of my life are the company of the books. I enjoy being in the company of books as they promise to be with me in all the moments of life, whether low or high, sad or happy, and in all other emotions and situations alike, without any judgement. They have given me a very rich lifestyle following and I love being in their company. They never make me feel alone and always give me to live my life in a graceful and peaceful manner. They have come to occupy an important place in life and lifestyle. I cannot think of a day without them and spending my time with them, reading something inspirational, a fiction, facts, sometimes on health and fitness, and many more. There are lots of genres and types available which I pick depending upon the mood I am in.

In the low times, there are lots of options amongst the books which I can pick up to teach me to come out of those obstacles and find a way to my problems and in the happy times, I can cherish and enjoy reading something exciting and full of life which would spring me and enhance the happiness and lovely moments. They are great companion in the happy as well as sad times, and fill life with positive morals and high standards. They are the storehouse of immense knowledge and always enlighten me with different kind of information and stories each time. They teach me about the experiences of life and of other people who have been through the journey of life.

In the books are stored the journeys of life and in them are the source of life which make a person wise enough to take the important and immense decisions of life. They have granted me the wisdom and make me wiser by each passing day. It has become impossible for me to think of a day without being in the company of something so lively and hopeful. Books are a great source of inspiration to the mankind and thus they should be handled with great amount of respect. We should keep them in a safe manner. Books are the best guides in the journey of life and have a huge impact on the life.

The impact of fitness on children!

Health is the best any individual can ever possess. It is must that everyone learns the lessons of healthy living and gives oneself enough time that keeps one healthy and fit to carry out life's activities happily and blissfully. “A fit healthy body” is the best fashion statement that could ever be into the human life. There is no other better pleasure and bliss that comes to any human in personal as this. The above statement holds so true to our daily lives that we must be on our high heels and take up things that would keep the fitness etiquettes in the interests of mind. Children being the beginners in life, must be taught the lessons to keep themselves healthy and follow a positive approach in life.

The idea of healthy children in any family sprouts the springs of profound happiness. It is essential to nurture into them the habit of maintaining good health standards and impart them the lessons that would keep them fit and fine so that they can excel and carry forward their life in the best possible manner. The teachings given to children cannot just be imparted by lecturing them, instead practical lessons must be well kept in queue, as it would enable them to cultivate the habit into their schedule and follow it. The children are so tender and gentle to learn up the lessons they are taught in the earlier stages of life. They must be well taken care off in order to have a better and immune nation. The lessons are carried forward to larger perspectives of life, and so they must be nurtured carefully.

Immunity is what is being carried forward and enables to carry out the activities with the required amount of enthusiasm. The children must be told of the ways to improve the immunity power, though a difficult lesson to be taught to kids, but the beginning could well be done by putting them into healthy eating habits and daily routines. The diet intakes that includes vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and other essential nutrients must be well balanced, which not only builds up better immunity and strength, but keeps the brain active to carry out the activities and chores. The body must be well supplemented with the nutrients required by the body and must keep body salts and sugars in balance for the activeness to be displayed in carrying out the work.

The healthy child brings broad smiles to everyone’s face in the family. And any sort of illness brings down the charm of the family. No one feels good about it and wishes for the soonest possible recovery of the child. “Prevention is better than cure” is a very old saying that must be well kept in mind. The children must be well granted the lesson on the importance of immunity and better health standards, and the precautions that could be taken in case of the need.

It is a pleasure for everyone in the family to see children run around from one corner of the home to another. They look amazing in their own craziness, and thus idea of stronger immunity and better measures for health are highly recommended to be instilled into them for their proper performance and functioning. Thus it is important that children are taught the important lessons of health management and maintenance.

The maintenance of health and hygiene! #impact

It is very disheartening to come to know of the facts and figures of the sad affair of health and hygienic issues that the people of this country face especially in the villages, even in the dawn of 21st Century where the world sees new inventions everyday and India is no less, being on the path of development having grave issues related to those of sanitation and open-defecation.

The problem of open defecation breeds so many diseases and ailments such as those of typhoid, dysentery, malaria, etc which are serious threats to life, shifts the things to worse and leads to poor health and hygiene of the individuals. These diseases which take a huge toll on human lives needs to be curbed.

Despite the millions of the funds have been spent and sanctioned for the issue of open-defecation, the problem has not yet found a full-proof and concrete solution. With the increasing population, the problems are digging deeper holes with every passing day, and the hygiene maintenance seeing the falling standards. 

India, the developing state, is in a supreme need of healthy, happy and hygienic nation which could possibly happen when the problem of open-defecation is solved at the grass root level and eradicated from the everywhere.

The females and children are the worst affected with this problem of open-defecation. Poor hygienic conditions and deteriorating state of health affairs is largely seen to affect a huge population.

Seeing towards other issues that arise due to open defecation are like those of bad environmental conditions where the nature is being played upon by defecating in public and doesn't find a proper and safe disposal mechanism. These serve as breeding place for insects and mosquitoes, and ultimately to deadly diseases.

Open- defecation often arises questions on women dignity. How does this do justice to the addressing the issues of the female dignity and the respect they ought to have in society? This poses shameful conditions on the part of humanity of we all where we worship Goddess like Durga, Lakshmi, etc. We must not surrender to the cause, instead step ahead and fight for the problem of open-defecation that would lend better sanitation facilities.

We at large need to find solutions to this problem and create awareness about the importance of proper sanitation and defecation standards. Campaigns and awareness programs for the poor people to educate them on the issues of good health and sanitation shall be one of the steps that would lead a step closer in the search of hope for a healthy, happy and hygienic India.

It is essential that along with the governmental agencies working for this cause, other organisations that is setting a great idol, come forward  and fight for the cause of sanitation and open-defecating related issues. The dream of a cleaner and safer India could be met when more of brands and campaigns come up in the society and take initiatives to find solutions and eradicate the problem.

A cleaner, safer, healthier, happier and prosperous nation is the desire of everyone and so everyone must take the best possible initiative one can in order to serve society and humanity.

The Fantastico relationship!

Sanchit: What is up my young lady?
Sama: Just the usual work, nothing is really up. All is going at its own pace. (In a lowly voice and volume)
Sanchit: C'mon baby, cheer up. You cannot be down and in a lowly affair like this.
Sama: You really need to mend your ways to makes things really work out well between us as they are making me go crazy and leaving me with no hopes and charm along-side.

Sanchit meanwhile gets to the back of the chair where Sama is carrying out her work in front of laptop sipping down volumes of coffee. He wraps her around in his arms and gives her a warm and comfortable hug from behind. Sama feels good about it but was little surprised with the actions of Sanchit, for such things do not set back to the normal routine, as they disturb the mindset.

Sama fires questions back immediately asking him what made you to go for this gesture. He kept silent about it for he did not want to give any explanation for it and went on to keep silent about it. He picked up the coffee mug and sipped down coffee from her mug and then wonderfully landed a peck on her forehead. A tear trickled down, firstly, through her left eye on the left cheek and then from her right eye to the right cheek. Sanchit knew what had gone wrong. He wiped off the tears and grabbed her palm and made her a promise of never ever to let it happen. He vowed to never let the void of emptiness fill up again into their relationship. Sama hugged him back and smiled at him. This was a beautiful experience, and it brought us everlasting smiles!

Sama went on to say that there are those weak moments where things do not happen according to one's own wish and might go wrong on the path somewhere. But, there is always a time and plan to get back and settings the things right back into the relationship. A simple and gentle hug is one such special gesture that set the things right forth in the frame and brings back the beautiful memories and makes one to forget the wrongs that might have happened. These great moments make the life seem wonderful with the creation of best memories.

In the course of life that is full of hush-bush, we often tend to have an inclination towards ignoring the simplest and the easiest things in life, which often makes individuals to lose the spark in our own life. More often than not, it signifies the lack of interest and passion, the love persists. One must not be an ignorant to the minute reasons which could be the storehouse of the huge bundles of happiness and excitement.

Impact of voicing your opinion!

Staying silent has never been the solution to any of the problems since times immemorial. So it is high time, that all of us take efforts and voice out ourselves for the better of this country and take our country India to laudable heights. There must be a commitment to end the dehumanising practice of manual scavenging that is prevalent. We need to put end to such practices for humanity and take up practices that would really make Swacch India.

Cleanliness would come to prevail when everyone commits to phase out indestructible materials such as in packaging even while phasing in alternative material or practices that do not burden the environment, and keep it largely dirt-free. It is required that important measures are taken in this regard so that the best of interests of health and hygiene are maintained. There must be some plans and policies where the government and other agencies could acknowledge the contribution of rag- pickers and others involved in resource recovery by facilitating their access to segregated discards at or close to source.

The voicing out is essential for promising proper resources to allow the local bodies to pay decent wages and offer better living standards and working conditions to conservancy workers and laborers. They are at the grass root level of the economy and must be given the essential commodities and requirements so that they can sustain their life. There must be awareness created through adequate promotion of the  decentralized composting or  better treatment plans of organic discards so that the major portion of the garbage stream is diverted from the dump- sites or landfills. This awareness would come when the best minds with the best of options and opinions come forward and lay down the plans for the welfare of the society and make their implementation seem possible and feasible. It should not merely be on papers and books, instead put to practice so that there are higher chances of the much needed progress and growth in all the spheres and arenas of the developmental areas.

The necessity is to show and implement the power of speaking out on the issues that matter, and health, hygiene and cleanliness are the major issues need to be tackled with utmost care and attention. We merely cannot be spectators to anything that is going on and around us without paying the heed to what is important for all of us dutiful and responsible individuals. The need of the hour is to wake up ourselves and that the whole of India wakes up and all Indians will have to take up initiatives to wipe up the centuries-old dirt of the long prevailing system of gender discrimination, casteism and racism. The nature calls to drastically capture and curtail the consumption of unhealthy and unkempt measures that have been long dwelling. We strongly need to voice our opinions and create an impact on the society.

#Fantastico ways to be safe on roads!

It is important that we ensure our own safety and take proper measures when we take a step ahead, which should be beneficial to oneself and others. In the present times, visions have been developed in several countries for taking several road safety measures and develop mechanisms that would ensure safe walking down on the roads. There is a huge purpose behind it. The main aim and purpose of this vision is to ensure that taking precautions on the road receives an important and prominent place in transportation policies and several decision-making processes. This vision can also raise public awareness and interest and create support in the population and among public and private institutions for road safety improvement. These visions range from the national level to regional and local levels with several serious commitments to substantially improve road and traffic safety.

Several data analyzing methods, tools and techniques have been brought into practice to determine the facts that create problems in main safety disposal mechanisms which are needed to be detected and directed for the safety on the people on roads. It is important to understand and figure out the trends in fatality crashes over a longer-time span, as well as trends for less serious crashes. Also a separate review of urban and rural areas and of problem areas in the road network is useful. It is also important to analyze exposure data and risk data. Several countries gather information on traffic behavior, road user knowledge, skills, and opinions. However, data on these variables are lacking in India.

While planning traffic safety measures, an analysis of the present situation is not always sufficient; safety experts should attempt to prepare for the future. For example, in several countries the aging of the population, the growing economy, and the rising volume of traffic pose new challenges for traffic safety analysis. On the other hand, new technology offers opportunities for speed restriction, traffic management, and mitigation of collision consequences.

Using roads is necessary for participation in the society. However, risk of death or injury while using the roads is disproportionate, as is evident from various analyses on the basis of global road accident data. Road accident statistics also reveal that poor and developing countries are bearing the brunt of the road safety problem, despite low levels of motorization. Still more unfortunate part is that India stands out well above other developing and developed nations with regard to road safety situation, rather in an uncomplimentary way.

We know deaths due to road accidents can be drastically reduced, but we will have to convince decision-makers, stakeholders, and the public at large that the present framework of road safety in the country needs drastic improvement and up-gradation. It is only with suitable institutional, financial, and legal framework that we may be able to see proper road safety policies and action plans on the ground for increased road safety. Road deaths can be drastically reduced if enough people and interests are convinced that they want it to happen and are willing to work together to make it happen without any prejudices and vested interests.

Things are getting bad to worse each year and yet nothing significant seems to be happening to improve road safety situation in the country. India seems to be almost stuck at the threshold of the third and the final phase of the road safety development process, which other countries have gone through and benefited. Road safety is being treated in a laissez faire way in India. Among the important reasons for such a situation are the lack of national commitment to the road safety, bureaucratic inertia, and public apathy to human suffering and economic losses due to road accidents.

There is an ardent need for developing the fantastic ways of road safety and concerned measures. The road safety targets should be planned in a realistic, fact-based, achievable, well managed and monitored with proper records. This increases the transparency in the working machinery and enables smooth running and functioning of the organization. This also directs to take effective measures for several other programs in line and brings to light the likelihood of the safety policies implemented. Targeted road safety programs can result in better integration of existing institutional efforts, generally require greater co-ordination and often produce a more focused allocation of resources.

Impact of clean India!

Something that is next to godliness is cleanliness and cleanliness would come to prevail when everyone commits to phase out indestructible materials such as in packaging even while phasing in alternative material or practices that do not burden the environment, and keep it largely dirt-free.

How do you feel about your life right now?

Are you satisfied, happy, complacent?

What would you like to change?

I do not wish to deny the materialistic reality,

But I must strive for a better purpose, spiritually,

Cleanliness is godliness, there is more truth than proof.

The need of the hour is that the whole of India wakes up and all Indians will have to take up initiatives to wipe up the centuries-old dirt of the long prevailing system of gender discrimination, casteism and racism as part of the Swachh India campaign. The nature calls to drastically capture and curtail the consumption of unhealthy and unkempt measures that have been long dwelling. The necessity is to show and implement the power of speaking out on the issues that matter, and health, hygiene and cleanliness are the major issues need to be tackled with utmost care and attention.

Impact of mindset!

Of-course in a human life for a human to act, there are better ways for the expression of love and feelings for someone one is not married to, apart from sex or involving into a physical relationship.  After all, it is a fact that it ain't very loving to have an unwanted toll of issues on the mind such as those of getting pregnant or being attacked to a sexually transmitted disease or to make someone feel as if you just want them for their body.  It is not loving to engage in any activity that displeases anyone now or later.

And sex is not any form of entertainment.  If someone is really bored and finding ways for amusement and relaxation, one can look forward to options to go to the cinema or go for a run or to the fun park. One is not entitled to misuse something as important as sex just for a bit of mindless fun.  That would be like hiring a luxury car like phantom or Rolls Royce just to pick up some shopping from the local market– a waste, that would be a misuse of something so precious and pious, something that is far more important, may be if used properly.  Other people’s bodies are not just toys for us to play with and then discard. There is a valid reason which says breaking up from a sexual relationship is much more emotionally painful and much harder to forget than the one that did not involve sex. There are several neurochemical processes that occur during sex, which are the act as a strong “glue” to human bonding.

Sex is a powerful brain stimulant. When someone is involved sexually, it makes him or her want to repeat that act. Their brain produces lots of dopamine—a powerful chemical, which is compared to heroin on the brain. Dopamine is your internal pleasure/reward system. When dopamine is involved, it changes how we remember and relate to the things. On a general note, the human sex drive is so strong (at least for most people) that it happens, just happens. It has always happened and shall continue to happen, always. It happens because people seem incapable of controlling that urge themselves or their desire, which leads to pre-marital sex and the inevitable destruction of the family due to deadbeat fathers and mothers who cannot support children. A great deal of poverty in developed nations can be deemed the result of pre-marital sex because people are not taught self-control and their ultimate consequences.

Social opposition to and legal restrictions on extra-marital sexual activity are a typical factor in most human societies, but are especially pronounced in societies where religious justifications for rules of conduct for sexual relationships and the family unit are prominent. The causes behind it have been established including curiosity among the youth, proof of manhood, lust, pornography and its adverse effects, insanity and sex promiscuity as well as moral decadence among the youths.

Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force. Sex is to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep companionship with one's spouse and for procreation of the next generation. Sexual activity for young people arrests their psychological, social and academic development. Studies show that when young people engage in premarital sex, their academic performance declines and their social relationships with family and friends deteriorate. This is because adolescents are too immature to deal with the explosive sex drive and it tends to dominate their life.

Sex isn’t essential.  You’re not less than human if you are a virgin.  You’re not repressed if you wait until you’re married before sleeping with someone:  you’re sensible!  Jesus was born of a virgin, but he was also a virgin himself, while remaining a completely fulfilled and perfect human being.  And sex is not just another experience to add to one’s collection. Sex is not like going mountain climbing or sky-diving or bungee jumping – just another exciting way to spend a few hours, and nothing more.  And sex is too important to just be an experiment.  You don’t need to go “all the way” to know you’re sexually compatible with someone – if you’re a boy and they are a girl, and you’ve both got everything you’re supposed to have, then you’re compatible!  It’s not exactly complicated. Oftentimes, in breakups of people who have been sexually active, they can’t tolerate the sense of emptiness, so they rush into another relationship. The neuro- circuits did not have time to reset, and so they’re impaired in their ability to bond with the next person, and they may become sexually active with them. This is just a repetitive cycle, and there are real impairments in bonding going on.”

Knowing how these neuro-chemicals interact and change the brain help us understand why sex is meant to be kept within the boundaries of marriage. You see the overtones here about God’s design for His pure temple. This is another reason why the devil attacks our sexuality so much—because in attacking human sexuality, it actually interferes with human bonding. So, for those practicing sex outside of marriage, they are creating a bond with their partner, thus inhibiting their discernment of whether they should remain in that relationship. There is a power that wired and designed our brains for a specific purpose: to bond ourselves with the person we marry.

The final or ultimate act in a marital relationship is sexual intimacy. This element of physical intimacy allows a lawfully wedded couple to consummate their relationship. This is important for their future companionship and possible procreation.

Impact of rising oneself above the fears!

Fears are natural occurrences and we must not fear them and instead make our best efforts to overcome them. Let us accept the fact that at some points, life is difficult and it is more easy to lose hope, give up or become depressed, instead of trying to overcome the fears, leading them from the front end, learning to accept failures that come across the way, making up some plans for not giving up whatever the situation comes in the path, facing the defeats and downfalls, getting up and rising to the mark of victory. When negativity floats above like a dark cloud, it takes courage and determination to see the good in anything be it things or the people, and beauty that lingers into this world. Every now and then we need to be inspired, for the ways to overcome our fears and failures.

I being labelled, tagged and designated as the sports captain throughout the school and college life into all the classes and batches since 5th standard, I had a huge love for sports. One fine day, in the third semester of my college days, I was playing the inter-college finals basket-ball match, when I had a worst hit into my stomach which made me to reach the state unconsciousness and landed me into the hospital. When I was back from hospital, I decided to not take up and follow sports anymore if it could make me end up with grave and life-threatening injuries. I began to distance myself from the sports world and was becoming lazy to follow the sports with interest anymore. I almost gave up on the chapter of sports in my life.

It was then, after sometime that my family and friends began to notice the changes in me, like those of laid-down attitude, becoming least interested into sports activities, with the bend towards negativity in life and loosing the interest in the spheres of life. My nature and the changes in me were becoming a centre of concern around me. It then began to bother me, about the people who bothered for me and because of me which was nearly a depressing view. I could not have let this to continue and instead decided to take up challenge again and begin to make things happen.

It was not easy to begin again with the lost enthusiasm and energy, but it was becoming mandatory for my fears in my mind of the botheration of the dear ones, for in their happiness laid my happiness. I love to see them smiling and shining with me being the reason. So accepting the fears was much needed and efforts to work on them became the need of the hour.

I started to take up the motivational and inspirational talks with my coach from the school days and to my father who has always lend a strong shoulder to me in all my depressing times. Instead of trembling with the ball in hands, I started to take up the practice sessions in the home court, then I started taking long duration practices at courts in the ground and field. Though it took me almost 2-3 years to come back to the field again, I decided to take off my fear and put it back into the trunk and never open it again. I again began to set up goals for myself, take up challenges and to make the best into the field.  In the earlier days, I played for the inter-school and inter-college matches, later on I made to shift my focus on the higher levels and slowly and steadily with the peace and calmness in my mind, I made into the nationals team which was a true victory for my injured mind which got more serious than my stomach injury.

Thus with the fears in our minds, we must not pull ourselves back from life and instead open up to life that it offers us with all the vigour, passion and strength. We must get up to conquer our fears and stand tall and high in life with the victories.
