Hello, You have won

Image
Phone rings…… Someone picks up the phone.
Someone: Hello. Who’s speaking?
The Caller: Hello. May I speak to Mr. Abhiram Satpathy?
Abhiram (Someone): Yes. I am speaking.
Caller: Congratulations sir, you have won a car worth Rs. 5 Lakhs.
Abhiram (being conscious about the frauds happening these days): Oh okay, but, how did I win? I don’t remember being any part of contests or something.
Caller: Sir, you have been selected randomly from the customer database of the shopping network ‘WeShop’. Our company do this at regular intervals every year. Also, if you don’t want to take the car then we can end the money (Rs. 5 Lakhs) instead of it (car).
Abhiram: Thank you very much, when I shop from your network, I always get notifications for the same through e-mail, automated SMS and app but this time I only got the SMS.
Caller: I understand your concern sir but we provide notifications regarding these types of contests through SMS only. So, what do you want to take the car or money?
Abhiram: I need some …

Be Like Rahul, Be Smart

Image
I know someone named Rahul who always wants to make his life and almost everything around him easier and smarter.
At the time when mobile phones were new At the time when mobile phones were new, Rahul's family members were among the first buying them (mobile phones). One day, when I saw one mobile phone in his hand (for the first time, I saw that thing), I asked him, “Is that a mobile phone?”
Rahul said, “Yeah, look at it, isn’t it cool?”
I said, “Why did you buy that for so much, just to pick it in your pocket? You already have a landline phone which does the same work which your mobile can do. ”
He said, “Look. Using a landline, you can only make a phone call from your phone, but by using a mobile phone you can send short messages to another mobile phone, you can call from wherever you want, you don’t even need a P.C.O for that. It can help you in urgency or passing important information away from home.”
one day, I saw a smart-phone in his hand Then many years later, one day, I saw …

Reactions You get On Your New Thoughts

Image
What reactions do you get when you have new thoughts in your mind and express it to anyone? According to me, we get the following reactions we express our new thoughts to anyone: ·You get laughed off by the person.·You get scolded or abused by the person.·You get the reaction, “yeah, it’s interesting but……..”·You get the reaction, “Great, go for it. It’s worth a try.”
Let’s start with “Why you get laughed off?” As you know or must have seen that there are different kinds of people. From these different types of people, there is one kind of people, there is one kind of people who almost take everything in a funny way. Like everything, the characteristics of these types of people have a good and bad side. What is the thing which makes a person laugh? Usually, when a person sees anything which is unexpected and the thing goes in a happy (funny) way and the other person doing the thing has a weird expression on his/her face or a weird body language according to the observer. It is my point of …

Positive or Negative Vibes Having Influence on People

Image
There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.”
In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important. So, just keep calm and relax.”
Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed bothdemotivating and impatient but the other teacher was looki…

With Great responsibility come Greater Distractions

Image
If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced.
Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things student usually do, as distr…

Tests or t20s in Your Life

Image
In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team.
Can life be looked upon as test cricket?
I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you may hit t…

Everyone is Different from the others for a Reason

Image
In my childhood, after seeing my sad face, my mother used to say, “God has given equal abilities to everyone, we should never feel lesser than anyone.” Then, I used to believe that and smile back to my mother. But now, I think that the Almighty has made all of us different from others so that we can make our own identity different from others and the difference comes from lots of stuff. So that we don’t look like a copy or replica of others. Usually, we don’t get this and try to do blindly what others are doing without knowing ourselves properly.
Everybody begins his/her life in different surroundings.A person gets his/her qualities from the surroundings where he/she spends his her time.
An Example of how Rohan and his life can be different from others Let’s have a look at this scenario. There is a boy named Rohan. Both of his parents are working. Everybody knows the amount of responsibilities parents have on their shoulders as both of their parents work. In that case, it’s very difficult…

Loved video-games in my childhood

Image
Do you like video games? Some love them, some hate them and some don’t care about them. I used to love video-games in my childhood a lot. Here, I am not talking about high graphics 3-dimensional or 4-dimensional  kind of stuff. I am talking about the 2-dimensional TV video games. I used to have that type of video-game console. To play with it, you had to connect its audio and video wires with the Tv. Then, you would be having the game cassettes having names like ‘8in 1’, ‘6 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘99999999999 in 1’, etc. You have to insert that cassette into the video-game console to play. There was an eject button for the cassette to come out of it.
My first experience with the video-game On weekends, I with my family used to visit my cousin’s house. There was one Sunday, I was in my cousin’s place. I saw something which I had never thought it existed. I used to love cartoons very much. The cartoons on the TV attracted my eyes that day. Then I observed that these cartoon characters were mov…

It is all About Willpower

Introduction
What are the things needed for completing a work successfully? If this is the question then the answers from the people all over the world would be like the following. Some would say hard-work, some would say luck, presence of mind, curiosity, speed, talent, patience, etc. But all these things would be of no use if there is no will to do the required work.

ExplainingAbout Willpower ThroughourDailyLifeStuff
Doing a work without a will is like eating something you don’t want to eat or eating when you are not hungry. And if you do eat when you are not hungry then it doesn't feel like eating the way it should be.
Let us take an example of a car which has an auto-driving mode, good mileage, good shock absorbing facility, enough space for storing stuff and seating space for enough people. However, the value of all these features would be zero if there is no fuel. So, in our case,willacts as fuel for doing a work successfully.

Good Times Attract Many

Image
You might have gone to many celebratory events, there, you might have observed lots of colorful lights and other beautiful decorative stuff. The beautiful, colorful and other shining stuff always attract our eyes and these stuff make the events or parties amazing.
In this great world of ours, we get easily attracted towards anything which looks beautiful to us, but that’s not the case always when there is not much beauty in something.
A person in his/her good times, attract many people towards himself/herself but in the bad times, he/she is not given the same importance as in his/her good times.
In our bad times, we can improve ourselves  to ourselves as much we can and be valuable to ourselves and others by our dedication and hard work. Our dedication and hard-work will do the same for us as the beautiful lights and flowers do to different parties or events to make them more beautiful and attractive.
You would understand totally what I want to say after hearing the story of this boy.

The Connection between us and The Home Food

Image
Home or Outside Home
Who does not love to have food outside the home? It is no secret how much we crave for the stuff in the food trucks on the roads, kebabs, tikkas, rolls which always call us through their mesmerizing smells.

Whether it’s somebody’s birthday or someone’s promotion, most of us go outside to satisfy our cravings and doing the same also feels very great, but it’s not always a good idea. We can’t eat outside all the time as it’s not that healthy as we have in our home and it’s not also good for your pocket especially if you are a person like me who is not into much costly stuff.
Nowadays, most of the people have become very health conscious and they really care about what they eat, what nutrients it contains. So, to keep a check on these measures for having a healthy food lifestyle, we have to mostly depend on home food as the ingredients, its quantity and its style of being made is in our hands. Also ‘eating and cooking food at home’ is one of the food trends according t…
