The Target set for the Relationship

Image
Kashish, Rohan, and Rahul were hanging out at Rahul’s place. Kashish: Are you scared? Rohan: Scared? Me? Yeah. A little bit. Kashish: You should be scared as in the previous meeting you had very much opened your mind. Rohan: But, what’s wrong in having an open mind? Kashish (with a little anger towards Rohan): Nothing is wrong with your open-mind. The things which are really wrong are the things which you had said to my father that day. Rohan (with a shocking reaction to what Kashish said, the reaction had a little bit anger too): Oh my God. Are you serious? Never in my life, I have spoken any bad words to or for your father. Kashish (continuing her anger): I am not talking about that, you idiot. It’s about…………… Flashback At Kashish’s home, Kashish’s Father (to Rohan): I have no problem with you two being in a relationship and I don’t mind that she is earning more than you, but, you should earn a certain amount and know the art of saving to ...

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 studen...

Taking Out some Time for a 'Me Time'

Image
What does ‘Me Time’ mean to me? ‘Me Time’ means a lot to me. It makes me enter a zone where I can keep account of my good works & mistakes of my past and the stuff which I have to do which I feel would be good for me. The good works whether small or big make me motivated especially in the times when I don’t feel so good about myself. The mistakes make me check on the stuff in which I have to learn from or improve in. After thinking about these past stuff, I plan things for moving ahead in my ways and do a little Pranayama and exercises. I do these things because I think they are going to be beneficial to me. ‘Me Time’ is very important to me We go through many situations in our life. We get many thoughts in our mind. We meet different people with different mindsets whether they are our relatives, friends or any stranger. Apart from these, we also have certain duties and goals in our life which sometimes get away from our sight because of the above-mentioned ...

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 both demotivating and impatient but the oth...

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 ...

It is all About Willpower

Image
Introduction What are the things needed for completing a work successfully?The answers to this question 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 are of no use if there is no 'will' to do the required work. Explaining About Willpower Through our Daily Life Stuff 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,   will   acts as fuel for doing a work successfully.

Start From The Basics, Start Easy

If you do so, then you feel fresher, positive and confident to do the rest  of the work. Practically, you can examine that  the people who work out the basic, easier and smaller parts initially, complete the work more successfully than the ones who do not do the same. So, start from the basics and start easy.

Image
Those were the days of the year 2010 , Vijay had only one exam left of his 10 th Board Examinations. The last exam was scheduled to be on the next day. He had the books and notebooks ahead of him, related to the subject he had exam of.

He had a little bit of nervousness about the exam and a lot of excitement about the exam getting over.

Now, I am going to describe the things about the park and the similar ones which would make you feel good.

I always visit the park one-half to two hours before the sunset. Every time, when I reach the park I always see a lot of motorbikes and bicycles in the park’s parking area. While entering the park, there is a feeling of going through a different zone. In this zone, you get a great environment where there are many kinds of people and kids relaxing in their own ways like they have transformed into a new version of themselves. ...

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).
