According to me, the word OK is used by many people in the world. English speakers use it. Nowadays OK is spoken in other languages as well to express agreement. According to an article published in Smithsonian magazine, the word OK originated in the early 19th century. At that time, there was a trend of making English words fashionable. Because of this, there are many words that have been misspelled. The same happened with OK. Often, when we are talking to someone on the phone or face to face or through a message, we definitely use a word.That word is OK. We do this to agree on something.
Peace is the most important thing for a human being. Today people have a lot of material comforts, but despite this they do not have peace of mind. Resources can be bought with money, but peace cannot be bought. Peace is not a commodity to be sold in the market. Peace is not achieved by just being silent from the mouth, rather true happiness and peace is only possible when a person’s mind is silent. The reason for unrest is a person’s mind. They are restless from the mind and until their mind is not peaceful, their life cannot be happy. They will get peace only when they control their mind. Some people get peace when they feel safe, when they are not sick. For many people, a life without any fear is peaceful. Some people find peace in living with inner satisfaction. Some people consider living with love and affection with the people around them.
I get peace even when I can help a poor person. I get peace when I can arrange medicines for a helpless old man. I get peace when someone tells me that I am always ready to help someone. I keep myself away from false arguments, gossiping, grumbling all the time because all these things give me peace. I don’t like a life full of pomp because campaigns, pomp and show, all these bring unrest in a person’s life. I like to mind my own business. I believe that peace cannot be bought in the market, it has to be managed by oneself.
If we look at the world, every profession has its own identity. No profession is big or small. Everyone needs each other. Because every profession is great in its own place.
A sweeper without whom we would not be able to walk on the roads; one who cleans our public garbage; a cobbler who makes our broken slippers and shoes wearable again; a gardener who nurtures our garden; a labourer who fulfils our dreams of living in big houses; a teacher who gives us knowledge and makes us walk in this world with our heads held high; a doctor who brings us back from the jaws of death; a dhobi who cleans our dirty clothes and makes them wearable again; a soldier who protects our lives by risking his own. I think it is difficult to judge any profession as big or small. Salute to all the hardworking people around us.
But if the prompt has asked the question, then I give the highest status to home maker. Because it is this which has given birth to all the professions. Without it, no identity can be created.
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
I want to open a shop where women can get things to enhance their skills, such as embroidery items, crochet items, sweater-making items, baking items, and much more. Not only this, I want to give free courses to everyone so that they can earn their livelihood.
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
The biggest need in human life is health, spirituality and social relations. Health is one of the most important things in our life. If we have the key to good health, then we can achieve success in all areas of life.
Spirituality is such a thing in my life which I always keep with me. I believe that if this thing is with you then nobody can harm you. And neither can you harm anyone because this will stop you from doing any difficult task. If spirituality is with you then even the senses will be under your control. The reason for peace in today’s world is the lack of spirituality.
If you are spiritual then people will connect with you automatically. You will not be bothered by any worry or concern. You will not feel sad by anyone’s words. There will be only joy all the time.
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
My blog is on such topics like religious, social, and all the problems of our life. I have given dimension to my hobby of reading books through blogging. I want to make the right information reach the people.But I have nothing to do with politics, science, technology.
It is impossible to cross the universe. We live on a small piece of earth. In childhood, I used to read fairy tales often. Sometimes, I used to see fairies even in my dreams. It seemed as if they were changing me by touching me with their wands. In all the cultures, art and literature of the world, there are some such mysterious and beyond logic things which we have not seen, but which have been a part of our thoughts and life since eternity. Angels, demons, devils and fairies are included in them. Among them, fairies have given the most flight to our imagination. Coming from some other world with a feminine appearance, flying high on the wings with the power of their magical powers, shy fairies of small stature and infinite beauty have always been an important part of the imagination not only of children but also of adults and writers from all over the world. Fairy means such a supernatural creature which loves children very much.
I think my life in an alternate universe would be like that of a fairy. I would be able to use fairy magic whenever I wanted. Whether it is casting charms or tricking our senses, disappearing, flying, changing shapes, moving objects like buildings. I am going to have a lot of fun doing all of these. I feel great about being in fairyland, helping needy people and getting whatever I want with my magic wand.
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?
There is a deep connection between man and food. There is hardly any person who does not like food. Once we went to Jagannath Puri for darshan. We had a very good darshan and the rule there is that the rice offered there must be taken. That offering is made in the evening and we got late in reaching. We had a train the next day morning, so we were very sad that we did not get the offering to God. Just then a Pandit came and we told him what was on our mind. He said I will take ₹5000. We thought that if we do not take the offering then our coming here will be in vain. We gave him ₹5000. Then he brought rice offering in a small leaf bowl. We were surprised to see it, we gave ₹5000 for so little rice. But then we thought that it does not matter, if we could not get it today then we would have regretted it all our life. Those few rice were very precious for us.
Because it is said that whatever bhog is prepared in the kitchen is done under the supervision of Maa Lakshmi. The prasad available at any pilgrimage place is generally called prasad, but the prasad available in the Jagannath temple in Orissa is considered ‘Mahaprasad’. In the kitchen of the temple, 7 pots are placed one above the other to cook prasad and everything is cooked on wood. In this process, the ingredients in the top pot get cooked first and then gradually the food gets cooked one after the other towards the bottom, that is, the food in the pot placed on the top gets cooked first. We do not regret paying so much money for the small quantity of rice that we got. Because for Hindus, God’s prasad means a lot.
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.
Whatever happens anywhere in this world, that story is similar to some person or the other. Similarly, I also read a story which is completely related to my life. The story is as follows.
Sona’s sister-in-law had called Sona four times, but Sona was not receiving the call. Later when Sona came out of the kitchen, she saw that her sister-in-law had four missed calls. She got worried seeing this because her sister-in-law knows that if Sona does not pick up the phone in two attempts, it means that she is busy with her work or is away from the phone. Now Sona was feeling nervous because she was tensed after receiving four consecutive calls from sister-in-law. Because Sona’s mother was not well these days. Just two days ago, Sona had come back from meeting her mother at her maternal home, still Sona mustered courage and called her sister-in-law and as soon as she picked up the phone, Sona said crying, siso, Mummy has left us. She slept well at night. In the morning our brother and I tried a lot to wake her up but she did not wake up. Then we called the doctor and he told us that Mummy is no more. Sister, you come home quickly, on hearing this, tears started flowing from Sona’s eyes.
Her father had already left her and now her mother was also no more. Sona was completely distraught, now Sona told this to her husband Saksham while crying, then Saksham took care of her and quickly put her in the car and took her to her maternal home. As soon as Sona reached her home, on seeing her mother’s dead body, she hugged her and cried a lot. Finally Saksham somehow convinced her and performed the last rites of her mother. Even after all the rituals, Sona was not stopping crying, she was missing her mother a lot, then Sona’s aunt wiped her tears and took care of her and said Sona , don’t be so sad. So what if mom is no more? I am here, your aunt. My house is also your maternal home, whenever you feel like it, come to your aunt.
Daughter, I can understand your pain because your father has already left you and today mom has also left. It is said that after the mother leaves, the girl’s maternal home is left behind. This sister in law is just a nominal relationship to show to the world, because maternal home is with the mother only. Sona also started thinking in her mind that maybe aunt is saying the right thing and she hugged aunt and started crying out loud and said, Aunty, does my maternal home also not exist now? Just then, Sona’s sister in law was sitting far away and listening to their conversation. First she made Sona quiet and then consoled her. Then she said to aunt that, Aunt, how could you say that maternal home is only with the mother.
I believe that nobody can take the place of a mother, but right now Sona’s brother and sister-in-law are alive and as long as we are there sona’s maternal home will always remain. I will try my best to give Sona, the love and respect she gets from her mother. And sona can come here whenever she wants, this house was hers yesterday, is hers today and will remain hers tomorrow too. Aunty, I am also a daughter and this is my maternal home too, and I know very well how important a maternal home is for us daughters. Aunty, you must call sona to your house but don’t keep her away from the love of her brother and sister-in-law. Then Aunty said – Daughter-in-law, in today’s time, a sister-in-law with a thinking like yours is very rare, please forgive me. I showed Sona the wrong path. Then Sona hugged her sister-in-law and said, today you have assured me that a sister-in-law is also like a mother and I am satisfied that as long as you and brother are there, my maternal home will always remain..!! And someone has said that sister-in-law is like a mother, today you have made me believe this too!!
This story is completely related to my life. I too have faced such a situation. And today my brother and sister-in-law also love me a lot.
It is important to always be happy in life. There are many people who remain sad throughout the day and many remain sad even after having everything. We try throughout our life to be happy. We think about some things that if we get them, we will get true happiness, but we are proven wrong in this matter. Many times we unnecessarily ignore other true happiness for artificial happiness. Our unlimited desires take even small happiness away from us. No matter what kind of person is there in this world, he gets happiness from something. Similarly, I also get happiness from many things.
1,,Exercise,,
My routine includes exercise that keeps my heart and mind happy. The routine should include exercises that build flexibility, strength and strengthen the heart muscles.
2,,The feeling of forgiveness,,
It makes me happy to feel feelings of goodwill, forgiveness, compassion in the universe. The laws of nature always send these back to you. When you do this with genuine intention, you will also experience joy while doing it. It brings a feeling of deep joy.
3,,Living an ethical life,,
Living an ethical life gives me peace. If someone does not live an ethical life, it is impossible for him to experience lasting happiness.
4,,Tolerance,,
I believe in accepting events as they occur because lack of acceptance is one of the major causes of depression.
5. Compassion:
Being compassionate towards others always makes me happy. Ayurveda also emphasizes that the cause of all illness is in the mind. Be compassionate towards every living being, including yourself and especially towards those who have hurt you. Holding on to grudges or anger causes toxicity and over time we become prone to chronic illnesses.
6. Gratitude:
For me, the feeling of gratitude is the first feeling of the morning and the last feeling of the night. I do not chase the mirage of getting some golden vessel in the future.
7,,Friend,,
Making friends gives me happiness. Because life is not possible without friends.
8,, Music,,
Music is my favorite hobby, which makes me forget my sorrows and gives me a new happiness.
9,,Reading books,,
For me, reading books has always been a way of passing time and giving pleasure to myself. I used to get very angry when I had to memorize small details of the story for the test in school. I like to remember the gist of the story, its characters and the plot of the story. That is why to keep my happiness intact, I have now started reading Kindle.
10,,Writing poetry,,
I remember when I was in class 8, as soon as I came back from school, I would throw my bag on the ground and go and sit on my terrace. I had kept my favourite chair on my terrace, where I liked to sit the most. I would just go there and listen to all my favourite songs and get lost in them. I would feel them and then write something while sitting there. Gradually I started writing a little better and today I write everything from Shayaris to short stories. Then what, if there is a definition of happiness for me, it is my pen and headphones.
11. Dance,,
Whenever I feel low, I just play Punjabi songs on the speaker at high volume and dance; half my tension goes away just like that.
12. Helping the poor,,
Helping the poor makes me happy when I see a child trying hard to sell something and no one is buying his stuff. Then I go to him and help him by buying some stuff from him, which makes me happy. It may seem wrong in people’s eyes to buy stuff from a child and ask him to do labour work but I don’t believe so.
13,,Cooking,,
Cooking and eating my favourite dishes gives me a feeling of happiness and fulfilment.
14. Travelling,,
Travelling to new places makes me happy and instills in me the enthusiasm to do my work again.
