We became a Couple

Image
The following story is being narrated by Rajesh. The narration is about himself (Rajesh), Shivangi and their relationship. Here is the story in the words of Rajesh: We had become a great couple, according to me. We did almost all the things couples do. We always met/ talked once or twice a day. When we ate outside, we always split our bills. There was no surprise birthday party. We always planned the day before any important occasion. There were small fights and arguments but they were like the way kids fight. So, we were like two kids who did almost all the things couples do. The Final Year of the College It was the final year of the college, the year of placements. Shivangi was crazy that year and was making me crazy as well. She was preparing very well for the placements by working on the aptitude, technical stuff and was mirror practicing for the personal interview. She was also making me do the same things. I was doing all those things for her and only in front of h...

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.

Some Things in His Backpack

Image
  One guy after putting some things into his backpack moved ahead on a street. The street wasn’t crowded very much but it wasn’t lonely as well. While walking on the street, the backpack guy reached the location of a bus stop and stopped there. At that time at the bus stop, a bus having a lot of people going towards their destinations arrived, and around 4-5 people got out of the bus. One lady and one guy among those people kept walking after getting out of the bus and the others remained there at the bus stop. The backpack guy went towards a guy who was standing at the bus stop wearing a dark blue formal shirt and black pants. Backpack guy: Hi. Blue shirt guy: Hello. Backpack guy: Are you waiting for someone to pick you up from here? Blue shirt guy: Yes, I am waiting for another bus that would take me to my place. Backpack guy: Before you get into a bus you might like some things that I have. Let me show you. The backpack guy took out very well and neatly f...

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...

Friendship in Your Life

Image
Do you remember the days when you were a kid? There was someone with whom you used to be very happy. He or she might be your mother, brother, sister or anyone else. Do you know what they are called? They are called friends. There is a saying that “a friend in need is a friend indeed”, however, the simple definition of a friend is anyone with whom you feel comfortable with, feel relieved and share your thoughts freely with. Friends are those with whom you love spending time, whether the time is good or bad. Having friends in your life is like a journey. This journey starts right after we get born. In this early phase of our life, the family members who take care of us are our friends, like our parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt, etc. When we grow little older, we get to meet more and new people, especially of our age groups. Then we get close to them, we get fond of each other. We play, see TV, and most importantly, enjoy with each other. Then, we grow up to the age of going...

Start From The Basics, Start Easy

Image
When you have a work in hand, always start from the basics. Complete the basic, smaller and easier parts of the work, first. 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.

The Exams got Over

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. His eyes were on the pages of the books & notebooks, and he was thinking about how to answer what kind of questions, what kind of questions he should answer first, had he read enough to get good marks in the exam, and how his life was going to be after the exam. He had a little bit of nervousness about the exam and a lot of excitement about the exam getting over. One of the reasons for his excitement was also that the results were going to be announced after around 2 months unlike in the cases of other final exams he had appeared from the beginning of his school days till class- ix, where the results used to get announced within 10 days of the last exam. The Exams got Over Finally, Vijay’s exams were over. That time, how good or bad his e...

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 ...

I liked Your Work but...

Image
Someone: Please have a seat. Other one: Thank you. Someone: I read your email and the things which were with the same. Those were nice. I liked your work but I am having a tough time figuring out how to use them, how to make those work in benefits of us and yours. Other one: I am very glad that you liked my work, but you don’t have to have a headache of how to use those, you can see those as samples and I can create something fresh, I can create many fresh things. Since, you have gone through those pieces of mine then you must have known my abilities, how is my knowledge and what I am capable of creating or doing. So, you don’t have to use my works, you can use my abilities and knowledge which made those works possible. Someone: But don’t you think the abilities you have, you can work with us, you don’t have to work for us. Other one: I didn’t understand, aren’t those the same things? Someone: It’s your choice. You can create something on which we can ride on ahead b...

When He Pressed the Buttons on that Device

Image
Pravesh entered the office by his identification card where he works. Like him many entered the office and as the time passed the whole office got busy as usual. Then, Pravesh before powering his computer on, took out a device from his backpack, pressed a few buttons on the device and at that time the device got activated. After the device got activated he put the device in the drawer of his desk. A few moments later a ‘News’ notification got into everyone’s mobile phone in the office.

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 ...

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 when 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...

Vikash ordered one plate Mughlai paratha, Alok ordered Chicken noodles, both Sushil and Farooq ordered naans & butter chicken. When it came to Risabh, he ordered a Chicken Roll. After hearing Risabh’s order the waiter laughed a little. Waiter: Okay gentlemen. Your ordered food will be here very soon. Risabh (to his friends): Guys did you look at how he made fun of me. Vikash: Don’t take him (the waiter) seriously. I think he usually does this with everyone. Risabh: Did he do that with all of you? But the point is that he shouldn’t do it. It’s wrong. There may be many reasons of mine for ordering that chicken roll. How can he tease me for something he doesn’t know. The waiter came to the table with the food Risabh’s friends had ordered. Wait...

A Park like this can Make Your Day

Image
There is a park in my city which is 8 kilometers away from where I live. I like to spend time there and everyone should spend some time in a park like it because it is surely going to make your day. Now, I am going to describe the things about the park and the similar ones which would make you feel good. When I visit the Park I am not that kind of guy who every day goes to the park, jogs & exercises there but I try to do the same once or twice a week as I don’t get time because of my works and the reason that I have my little workout at my house. 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. ...

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 ...

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...

I Feel Good in The Morning

Image
I am habituated with waking up early in the morning Since my childhood, I am habituated with waking up early in the morning. As a child, I was used to be woken up by my mother early in the morning as I had to reach the school before 7:25 AM then as per the rules. So, I got this habit of waking up early, from my mother. Using the Alarm Clock When I had reached the 6 th grade, I did not need my mother to wake me up but I used an alarm clock instead of doing the same. As the time was passing, I was getting used to waking up near the alarm-clock time. I was so getting used to it that I started waking up on holidays as well but without the alarm clock. In the present time, I don’t need an alarm clock to wake up early in the morning, and I leave my bed before the Sunrise. I only use the alarm clock if I have any important works to do that day or if the day itself is an important one. There are some days on which I had woken up after the Sun had risen up. The reason for t...
