Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.
I asked my friend what he was doing these days, he told me that he had lost his job and he was very upset because of this. It was becoming difficult to manage the household expenses. I had been working at this place for 12 years. But while firing me, they did not think even once how much I had done for them. The world is very selfish, once their work is done, they do not think about others. I consoled him, it is no big deal, it is a problem for a few days. You are so intelligent, you will get a job back somewhere or the other.
I asked a blogger about his condition. He said that the future of both these blogs is in danger. Earlier I used to have a lot of visitors, now there are very few visitors. I try my best to write good content. But I don’t know what is happening to me. I said don’t be sad, the same is happening to me. Maybe in a few days we will find a solution to our problem.
This morning I spoke to my mother after a long time. Mother was very worried about her health. I told mother not to worry. Consult a good doctor. You will get well. Then I told mother that if you keep thinking in your mind that I am ill, then you will not be able to get well. Then mother told me that in childhood I used to explain to you like this.
Yesterday I spoke to the mail man. He was telling that yesterday when he reached home after delivering the mail, his wife was admitted to the hospital by the relatives. She had fainted due to heat wave. He was telling that the work involves a lot of hard work.
After talking to all these people, I felt that no one is perfect in this world. No one has peace in their mind.
A human mind is never empty. The chain of thoughts does not stop even for a moment. These thoughts appear to us in the form of dreams when we sleep. This evening I read a Hindi story. In the story, a man was talking to an angel about a woman. Let me first tell you the conversation between the angel and the man.
When God was creating woman, it took him a lot of time. It was the sixth day and the creation of woman was still incomplete. So the angel asked- God, why are you taking so much time in this?God replied- Have you seen all its qualities, which are necessary for its creation. It can handle all kinds of situations. It can take care of all its children together and keep them happy. It can heal everything from knee scratches to broken hearts with its love. It can do all this with just its two hands. Its biggest quality is that it can take care of itself when it is sick and can also work for 18 hours. The angel was astonished and asked in surprise, God, is it possible to do all this with two hands? God said- This is my wonderful creation. The angel went closer and touched the woman and said- God, she is very delicate. God said- Yes, she is very delicate from outside, but she has been made very strong from inside. She has the strength to handle every situation. She is soft but not weak. The angel asked- can she even think? God said- she can even think and can also fight by being strong. The angel went close and touched the cheeks of the woman and said- God these are wet. It seems something is flowing from them. God said- these are her tears. Angel- tears for what? God said- this is also her strength. Tears are her way of pleading, expressing love and removing her loneliness. Angel- God your creation is amazing. You have created her after thinking everything. You are great. God said- this creation in the form of a woman is amazing. This is the strength of every man, which encourages him. She remains happy seeing everyone happy, keeps smiling in every situation. Whatever she wants, she can get it even by fighting. There are no conditions in her love. Her heart breaks when her own people betray her, but she also knows how to compromise with every situation. Angel- Lord your creation is perfect. God said- No, there is still one flaw in it. It forgets its importance.’
As a woman, I am feeling what God said about women, that women forget their importance even after doing everything. Women go through so many ups and downs from morning to night. A woman has to take care of her life and also the whole family. She honestly fulfills the relationships of daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother throughout her life. Even after fulfilling all these relationships, she works with full strength so that she can make the future of herself, family and country bright. Still, women are insulted and exploited at every step. Is this right?The incident that happened in Kolkata, India has shocked women all over the world. It is not that this is something new today. But I feel ashamed even thinking how low a man can stoop.
Enthusiasm can be called a kind of internal energy, which forces one to do work full of interest. People who do not have enthusiasm in their life, their life becomes dull, such people do not find joy in any work, the mind remains sad all the time. To avoid such a situation, one should remain happy and satisfied in all circumstances. There is a popular folk tale in this regard, in which the importance of enthusiasm has been described.
In olden times, a king had special affection for his elephant. The king used to take that elephant to every war. The elephant also used to follow all the orders of the king. With the help of the elephant, the king had defeated many enemies, but with time the elephant had grown old. Now he was not very fast. Because of this, the elephant stopped taking that elephant to the war. The king had ordered a new elephant. The king had made full arrangements for food and drink for the old elephant, but even after this he started being sad. The king and his soldiers felt that now he has become in such a condition due to old age. After a few days, the elephant became completely demotivated. One day he reached the middle of the pond, there was more swamp there. After reaching the middle of the pond, he got stuck. Even after a lot of effort, the elephant was not able to get out. Defeated, he sat there. Seeing the elephant trapped, the soldiers informed the king. The king immediately reached the shore of the pond with his ministers. The king called the elephant a lot, but he did not move. The soldiers also tried hard to get it out, but did not succeed. Then a minister told the king that we should play the drums used in war here. The king was surprised to hear this, but he agreed to the minister’s suggestion to get the elephant out. Now the drums started playing there. As soon as the elephant heard the sound of the drums, he got up with full force. Now he intensified his efforts to get out of the swamp and he also got success. In a short time the elephant came out of the pond. The king was surprised to see this. He asked the minister how this was possible. Then the minister said that Maharaj, I know this elephant very well. It used to go to war with you. At that time there was enthusiasm in its life, but since you have stopped taking it to war, it started being sad, its enthusiasm was gone. Today we played drums in front of it again, then it felt that now it has to go to war. His enthusiasm returned and he put in all his strength to get out of the swamp and he succeeded. The lesson of this short story is that as long as there is enthusiasm in our life, this life feels good. When enthusiasm ends, this life becomes dull. That is why one should remain happy in all circumstances. One should remain satisfied with one’s comforts and facilities, only then enthusiasm remains.
In today’s competitive era, every person is bent on copying each other. No one is happy with his life because everyone sees more food in the other’s plate. When the five fingers of our hands are not equal, then how can humans be equal. Therefore, never let negativity enter your mind. Your negative thoughts have the biggest role in reducing your enthusiasm. Just be happy with your achievements for one day and see at what peak your enthusiasm remains.
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
Quality of life refers to how well we live. Many factors determine quality of life, such as the happiness, comfort, and health that an individual or society experiences. Some consider quality of life to be about possessions and wealth, while others consider it to be physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Quality of life is influenced by a person’s physical and mental health, degree of independence, social relationships with the environment, and other factors. Quality of life can be defined as a person’s satisfaction with aspects of his or her life compared to his or her ideal life. Healthy relationships, adequate sleep, a healthy diet, and regular physical activity can all contribute to a better quality of life. A person can also improve quality of life by finding meaning in his or her work, reducing energy stress, and making time for things he or she enjoys.
Paying attention to mental health,
I pay the most attention to my mental health. Health and well-being are directly related. Well-being is a holistic approach to health. It is the presence of positive emotions, the absence of negative emotions, and the satisfaction with life felt by the patient. When a person refers to his well-being, he often means both his physical and mental state. It is said first happiness is a healthy body. This means that if we are healthy, we will be able to enjoy life to the fullest. Physical and mental fitness enhances the quality of our life. If we are healthy, our thinking will be positive and we will be able to work harder to achieve the goal. Meditation and yoga keep us healthy. I eat nutritious food for good health.
Waking up early in the morning,,
I wake up early in the morning to improve the quality of life. Waking up early is very good for our daily routine. We are able to plan our day’s activities and we get enough time for all the tasks. We do not have to rush and panic in any of our work. Many types of lifestyle diseases are becoming common among urban youth these days. However, if a little improvement is made in the diet and routine, then not only can these be avoided, but the quality of life can also be improved.
Leaving the past behind,
what’s gone is gone. I never miss my past. Half of us keep remembering our past and keep getting sad. One should get out of the memories of the past and learn to live in the present. One of those behaviors that can really hold you back is thinking about the past. The important thing is to learn from these mistakes of the past and use them as stepping stones towards a better future. This change in focus can make you happier, more positive and more productive.
Speaking openly,
I don’t hold anything back. I say whatever hurts me. Holding on to anger and resentment drains your energy and prevents you from moving forward. But the person it hurts the most is you, so, for your own peace and happiness, let go of the grudges. You will feel a burden lifted from your shoulders and you will have a new freedom to move forward in life.
Positive Thinking,
I always try to keep my thinking positive. If you are constantly thinking negatively, you are creating a negative world around you. Negative thinking not only brings you down, but it also obstructs your path to success and happiness. Start practicing positive thinking. It may be hard in the beginning, but keep at it.
The habit of blaming others,
I never blame anyone for my sorrows, happiness, honor or insult. It is easy to point fingers and blame others whenever things go wrong but the truth is that blaming others will not solve your problems. It prevents you from learning and growing so take responsibility for your actions and mistakes. This self-awareness will help you move forward and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
The habit of procrastination,
I never leave any of my work for tomorrow. Because I know that once the work is stopped, it takes time to start it again. Often we postpone many things, we do not know when the tendency of doing it tomorrow turns from tomorrow to a year. The habit of procrastination is a big obstacle in the path of success. The more you delay doing the work that needs to be done, the more difficult it will become. Divide the tasks into manageable parts and start with the first part.
Consider yourself lucky,,
I consider myself the luckiest person in this world. It is my habit to happily accept whatever God has given me. No one is perfect, and chasing perfection will only lead to frustration and disappointment. Strive for progress instead of striving for perfection. Celebrate your small victories, learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. It is better to be a flawed human being who is trying to improve. If you want to change your life for the better, these are the behaviors you have to say goodbye to.
JiComparing to others,
I never compare myself to others. Shift your focus from what others have to what I have. Start counting your blessings no matter how small they may seem. Then you will realize that you have a lot to be grateful for and take a moment to appreciate all the good things in your life. It will make you happier and more satisfied.
Faith in God,
I have complete faith in my God. No matter how much trouble I face in my life, I do not share it with anyone but tell my God. If you ask God to always inspire you to walk on the path of truth, then surely you will see yourself on this path. So always be a believer and not an atheist.
With time, many things changed and with it the ways of entertainment also changed. The era of films lasted for a long time, many times it also changed. This era is still going on. The difference was so much that with the change of generations, the choice of the audience kept changing. In the eighties, along with films, a new medium of entertainment, television, also got added to it. The audience got the option of sitting at home and entertaining themselves. First came ‘Doordarshan’ which entertained the audience for years. Today, even though ‘Doordarshan’ has lagged behind in the race of entertainment, but the serials of Doordarshan are still fresh in the memories of the audience of that generation. Initially, the broadcast time of Doordarshan was limited. But, whenever a program started, the whole family would sit in front of the TV. The audience would not only watch entertainment programs but also programs like Krishi Darshan.
In the history of Indian television, ‘Hum Log’ was the first serial, which was telecasted on Doordarshan on 7 July 1984. This serial closely depicted the life of the middle class of the country. Its popularity was similar to that of ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharata’ later. ‘Ramayana’ is considered to be one of the most successful serials of Indian television. This serial of Ramanand Sagar had such an impact that it brought out the religious sentiments of the viewers. When this serial was telecast on Doordarshan, the roads would become empty at that time.
Shaktimaan, one of the favorite serials of children of the 90s, was ‘Shaktimaan’. All the children of that era would be familiar with this serial. Children used to be very excited to watch this show after finishing their studies. This show started on DD National in the year 1997 and ran till the year 2005. At that time, children used to think that Shaktimaan was not a serial character but a real person who had magical powers.
Sonpari,, The children of the nineties eagerly awaited the start of this serial. This show ran for four years, but was a great source of entertainment for children. In this serial, the role of children’s favorite Sonpari was played by Mrinal Kulkarni. The story of a girl named Sonpari, Altu and Fruity was very much liked by the children of the nineties.
Haatim, how can we forget the children’s favorite show Haatim. The magical story of Haatim and Jasmine was one of the favorite shows of children of that era. Even after closing, the popularity of this serial did not decrease.
Shaka laka bum bum, who can forget the story of the magic pencil and Sanju. It was a special wish of the children of the 90’s that they too should have a magic pencil like Sanju. That is why many children had pencils with Shaka laka boom boom in their stationery at that time. Even today these pencils can be seen in the market, seeing which the memories of childhood are refreshed. This show ran from the year 2000 to 2004.
Mogli, ‘Jungle, jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai aise…’ These are the lines that Gulzar had written for the ‘Jungle Book’ serial. From children to adults, everyone used to wait for it. This Japanese animated English series used to come on Doordarshan which was adapted in Hindi.
In the eighties and nineties, ‘Hum Log’ and ‘Buniyaad’ were milestones in popularity. Apart from this, there are many serials which may seem light in terms of production today, but were popular because of the story. ‘Malgudi Days’ based on RK Narayan’s stories was also a favourite serial of children in 1987.Remembering my childhood TV shows brought me back to my childhood.
Many times we find such people around us who keep finding faults in others. But if you ask them about improvement, they back off. One needs to be cautious of such people because their habit of finding faults can push someone into depression. Just by being around such people, the environment gets filled with negativity. It is better to mind your own business rather than staying in contact with them for long. Even if they are finding faults in someone, one should not pay attention to them. Instead of listening to such people and taking them to heart, it is better to remove any fault in yourself and move forward towards your goal. The stars do not have the courage to decide our fate, but our fate is in our hands. This was said by the world famous author and playwright William Shakespeare many years ago. Even today, such thoughts work like medicine for us at many turns of life. This fact cannot be denied that a better person can be made only by one’s good thoughts and deeds. It is our thinking that has the ability to make us successful or unsuccessful. But there are many occasions in life when we get so entangled in our own problems that we cannot see a way out. Then we should listen to the voice of our conscience. We should understand that people are there only to find faults.
There was a painter who used to make very good paintings. Once that painter made such a painting after which he felt that this painting is the best painting of his life. There was no mistake in it. He became very happy and started telling everyone about his painting. He showed the painting to one of his friends and told that friend: This is the best painting of my life, there is no mistake in it.
His friend told him that if you really want to see that there is no mistake in this painting, then you should put this painting at a crossroad where people keep coming and going.
And put a board there and write on it that if you see any mistake in this painting, then put a black mark there. That painter did the same, put his painting at a crossroad and kept an art brush there and went from there. When that painter came back in the evening, he saw that there were so many marks on his painting that the painting had turned completely black.That painter went to his friend crying and told him the whole thing and felt that I thought that there was no mistake in this painting. But people found a lot of mistakes in it.
After listening to everything, his friend told him: Make another identical painting and put it on the same square. But now write there that wherever you see a mistake in this painting, correct it. The painter did the same and made a similar painting and put it on the same square. He also put some brushes there and went away. When it was evening and the painter came back, he saw that nothing had changed in that painting, the painting was the same as it was. There was no improvement or change in it. The painter was surprised to see this and told his friend everything.
His friend told him: Friend! There are many faultfinders in this world, who can find fault in a good thing in a second. But if they are told that you have found fault, now correct it, then no one does it, no one comes forward. That is why we should not pay attention to what people say.
Time waits for no one. Minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into months and months into years. Every human being has his/her own favourite time. Some people like morning time, some like afternoon time. Some like evening time, some like night time. We all use our time according to our convenience.
If we talk about time, then I like morning time very much. Waking up early in the morning and watching the rising sun gives me immense peace. And in the morning at the time of sunrise all the divine powers awaken. The way flowers bloom with the first ray of the sun, similarly the rays of the early morning sun are also very beneficial for our body. When the rays of the morning sun spread in all the four directions and darkness disappears with their spreading, then the delighted bumble bee coming out of the lotus petals leaves its laziness and starts humming, because it too gets convinced of this natural beauty and it seems as if it is expressing its happiness in its voice. The voice of the birds seems as if telling us that it is morning now get up.
Waking up at this time is considered good for improving mental health. Waking up at 5 am also gives time to do yoga and exercise, which keeps the body fit. Exercising in the morning not only reduces increasing weight, but it also keeps the body fit. Waking up early helps the mind to remain calm and focused, which keeps the mind focused on work. This also develops self-confidence.
At this time, there is peace all around, the air is clean. This is the best time for meditation, reading spiritual books and exercising. The chirping of birds as soon as you wake up in the morning, fresh cold air, the sound of bells ringing in temples, the fragrance of incense sticks coming from the puja room of the house, the delicious smell of food coming from the kitchen, Papa reading the newspaper in his hand are everyday things but we have become used to seeing all this.
There are thousands of benefits of waking up early in the morning, one of them is to be able to take out time for yourself. When you wake up early in the morning, you have a few hours before your daily routine begins. You can give these hours to yourself. The benefits of waking up early in the morning have been explained in detail in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, there are three main elements present in the human body. Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The quantity of these elements keeps on increasing and decreasing with time. Vata is related to muscles, breathing, blinking and activities of tissues and cells. Pitta is related to the processes of digestion, excretion, metabolism and body temperature. Kapha is related to the structure of the body i.e. bones and muscles. Any kind of problem in these three can cause many types of diseases in the body. According to Ayurveda, the balance of these three remains better in people who wake up early in the morning.
I like to pray to my God early in the morning. As the day passes, laziness fills our body. And a peaceful environment like the morning is not found throughout the day. That is why I like the morning time very much.
Actually, I am very fond of cooking. I keep trying something new all the time. Sometimes I make even simple food interesting by giving it a very good twist. When my children were small, they did not like to eat lentils at all. We are pure vegetarians, so the sources of protein are very less for us. One day I made split chickpea lentils in a new way, which my children liked very much. After that this recipe became my favorite recipe.let me share my recipe with you today.
Soak split chickpea lentils in water for four to six hours. Drain its water and add 1 cup water and grind it finely with the help of mixer grinder. Add one spoon garlic cumin, black pepper and turmeric chilli paste and 1 tea spoon salt and 1/2 tea spoon whole cumin, mix 1 glass of water and put it in a pan, turn on gas and sauté it for 10 minutes. Make it a thick paste, touch it with your hand, if the paste does not stick to your hand then it means it is ready. Now apply oil on a flat plate and spread it and let it cool down. Grind all the spices and prepare it. Now heat the oil in a pan and Cut the cooled groundnut mixture into squares with the help of a knife and put it in oil and deep fry it. Add whole red chillies in the remaining oil and add all the spices and fry it. Now add 2 glasses of water, chopped tomatoes in it, then cook it for 10 minutes on medium flame. Add raw mango powder and put all the fried pieces in the gravy and heat it for 5 minutes. Garnish with green coriander leaves, serve and eat. Enjoy with rice.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
Sometimes in life, there is an incident that excites us. One such incident happened a few years ago, I went to my mother’s house with my younger son. One day I heard my mother asking the neighbors for salt. But we had salt at home. I asked her why she asked the neighbors for salt. And she replied, ‘Because our neighbors don’t have a lot of money, and they often ask us for something. From time to time, I also ask them for something small and inexpensive, so they feel that we need them too. This way, they will feel more comfortable and it will be easier to continue asking us for everything they need.’ And that’s what I learned from my mother… let’s raise empathetic, humble, and supportive children with too many values to mention.
A person likes his village the most, even if it is small, where he is born. The crowd of big cities, polluted air and pollution are making people restless day by day. Even though cities have facilities like schools, colleges, hospitals and other things, everything else is artificial.
I want to design the city of the future in a way that is completely different. I want there to be trees in front of every house in my city. So that people do not have to suffer from polluted air. The entire city should be divided into plots and every plot should have a public park, even if it is small. There may be fewer schools and colleges for children but whatever they are, they should be good. No matter how many vehicles someone has in the city, they should not be kept on the roads. There should be some schools and colleges in the city that provide free education where the future of poor children can be built. Every modern technology should be present in the city hospital. And there should be good arrangements for the poor as well. The administration should have strict rules for keeping the city clean. There should be a lane in the middle of every road in the city which should be only for ambulances, because due to the crowd in cities, many people die while being taken to the hospital.
There should be a separate arrangement for footpath markets in the city, because their presence in front of shops jams the roads. There should be a provision of drinking water at various places in the city, so that people can avail its benefits. Drains should be built on the sides of the roads with mesh covers so that people do not have to face problems due to water logging during rainy days.
I want there to be respect for people of every caste in the city and among its people. So that there is no question of fights among them.
