How I found My Inner Peace

Early on in my adult life, I always had an awareness of the importance of inner peace. It was something I knew I wanted to obtain for myself because I knew I did not have it. Well, at least not consistently. Maybe it’s because I’m an air sign so I usually just flow whichever way the wind blows, which can be a good thing but may also be detrimental if not watched carefully. And for me it became quite unhealthy as it pertained to my mental and physical state of being.
Whenever a situation would occur that would disturb my peace it would affect me deeply. It was hard for me to keep a stable thought. My mind would only be focused on that situation. It was constant chatter in my brain that I couldn’t turn off that would then affect me physically. I wouldn’t eat due to me not having an appetite. I didn’t want to go out or do anything which meant I couldn’t enjoy the present moment or have any type of fun.


The situation would have my whole undivided attention and it would take days, sometimes weeks to pull myself out of it. I was unable to remain grounded. I was a hot mess and I knew I didn’t want to continue like that. So, learning how to maintain and master my inner peace became one of my biggest goals.
I have always been a very proactive person when it comes to my goals. Once I decide upon something I go at it full throttle and accomplish whatever I set my mind to, so although this was an internal job I knew it would be no different. I wasn’t fully sure at the time all it would take to reach such inner peace, but I was up for the challenge. I knew that with all the tenacity I would put into obtaining my external goals, I could apply that same intensity to my internal ones. And the journey began.
It took me several years to learn and apply these methods. I became a student of inner peace and absorbed as much knowledge as I could on this subject. Also, with the understanding that humans are programmable beings I knew that I was going to have to do some de-programming of certain beliefs and lifestyle habits to reach my destination. These are the top five practices that I incorporated to create a new lifestyle and shift my internal being to master my inner peace.


Released control
One of the major lessons I’ve learned thus far is that I am only in control of myself. I am the controller of my thoughts, how I feel and my behavior . I cannot control other people or outer circumstances. I can only control my response to such things and people. I discovered that this is way more beneficial to my well-being because it was draining when I would try to control other people and situations. It’s just not possible.
I understood that everyone has the right to be and do whatever they please and it has nothing to do with me. So instead of trying to control them, I just choose if I want to continue interacting with them and if so, how I wish to engage with them. This is liberating to myself and others because I honor myself and be and do as I choose and allow others to do the same.


Living unconditionally
I realized that I was a very conditional person. How I felt depended upon the conditions that surrounded me. If traffic was good; I was happy. If it was bad; I was upset. If my children did as I told them to; I was happy. If they did not; I would be frustrated. If I had money; I would feel at peace. If I didn’t; I felt anxious. I was on a daily emotional roller-coaster ride. I first learned about living an unconditional lifestyle after watching countless Esther Hicks videos and one day it just clicked for me.
I discovered that if I wanted to experience unconditional joy, peace, love, excitement and happiness that I had to stop giving so much of my emotional energy to the conditions that surrounded me. I then learned more about being a vibrational being and that my surroundings or conditions are typically responding to my vibration (or energetic field). The vibration that I’m emitting is based off what I dominantly think and feel. This showed me the importance of living unconditionally and instead of letting my conditions influence my mood, I would allow my mood to influence my conditions.


Directing my focus
This is a powerful one. I have come to know that focus and attention is a gift from the universe. I have such an appreciation for the fact that in every moment I get to choose what I focus upon. This kind of goes hand in hand with living unconditionally. Once I decided to start living the unconditional lifestyle I began to shift my focus from my current circumstances. That included everything and everyone.
Although my physical senses are aware of what’s happening before me; instead of focusing on it, I now shift my focus only to those things that I desire and the changes I would like to see take place. I acknowledge what is happening in my current reality but instead of dwelling on it, I use it as an opportunity to focus and create a solution rather than focusing on the problem.


Maintaining my alignment with Source
My relationship with Source/The Universe is my most important relationship. This is what keeps me grounded. It keeps me in a place of knowing that all things are working out for me at all times, even if it looks like it’s not. Meditation is my best friend and I’ve come to find that nighttime is the best time to meditate for me. Meditation doesn’t always mean sitting quietly for me. I enter a state of meditation while I’m reading an inspiring or thought-provoking book/article. I can also enter a meditative state while watching an eye-opening video.
I make sure that I feed my spirit daily so that my energetic frequency remains at a high point. I am able to see the bigger picture or higher perspective of things by maintaining my connection to Source. This way I am not getting bogged down by what’s going on around me and am aware that there’s always a bigger plan at play.


I gave up people-pleasing
This is another big one for me. I have always been natural born helper. I feel great satisfaction knowing I can be of service to others. However, this became one of my downfalls because I would often find myself doing things for other’s just to keep them happy despite how I was feeling. This would leave me feeling very resentful towards them when it was really my fault for not honoring myself. I wanted to make people happy which meant often putting other people’s needs before my own.
Long story short, I put an end to that. I now only assist others if I absolutely feel up to it. Of course that pissed a lot of people off but it’s really a “them vs. me” mindset…..and I choose me. That may sound a bit selfish but honestly I must be in order to maintain my own peace and happiness. So now when I help people I no longer feel resentful and can fully feel that sense of satisfaction. I had to learn that I’m not other people’s savior and that it’s perfectly fine to say “No”.
The road to mastering my inner peace has been an exciting journey. It may seem foreign to some as they may look at me and think that I don’t care about much of anything which is totally not the case. I care about many things. I just know a better way of handling life and stressful situations now and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Yemen is suffering the biggest humanitarian crisis and the world is silent

Yemen’s civil war is about to be eclipsed in a tragic manner. The fighting pits Iranian-backed Houthi rebels who took over the capital Sana’a and the north in 2015 against the Saudi- and UAE-backed, U.N.-recognized government of President Hadi. Another conflict pits the Hadi government against the Southern Transitional Council. Both are ongoing. Despite calls for ceasefires, the country remains sharply divided and now faces a potentially deadlier foe than the war—the COVID 19 pandemic.  

The U.N.’s head of humanitarian operations in Yemen, Lisa Grande, says that Yemen faces a worst-case scenario. The death toll from the pandemic could “exceed the combined toll of war, disease, and hunger over the last five years (in Yemen).” That could be over 230,000 deaths according to a U.N.-commissioned report from the University of Denver.

Right now Yemen is facing the biggest humanitarian crisis in last 100 years with over 24 million people in need of aid. They are currently fighting off an

CHOLERA OUTBREAK – cholera epidemic in Yemen is going on since 2016, and gets worse everyday due to lack of public health sectors and aid ,as well as saudi lef air strikes on water systems and food infrastructure.

FAMINE – The famine in yemen is said to become the worst one in 100 years and continues to get worse every day due to the poor funding and saudi intervention.

CORONAVIRUS (pandemic) -there aren’t many testing kits and hospitals aren’t equipped with treating it. Basic necessities like masks and gloves are also not available . Thus making the situation even worse. Its said that covid-19 can remove Yemen from the maps all over the world. As its impact is devastating on a country which has been wracked by civil war at same same time . Saudi Arabia with support of US,UK ,France has been bombing Yemen in order to get rid oh the “Houthi rebels, targeting public infrastructure,water systems , schools etc.

According to reports every 10 minutes a child dies in Yemen because the healthcare system has essentially been collapsed .

The U.N. termed Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis before the pandemic. Some 80 percent of the population—24.1 million people—required humanitarian assistance, with half on the brink of starvation.They are among the most vulnerable to the pandemic. In the meantime, the U.N.’s lack of funds means half-rations for 8.5 million hungry Yemenis. Around 2 million children under 5 years old are suffering from acute malnutrition.

Today, more than 20 million Yemenis need humanitarian assistance, a number greater than the entire population of the state of New York.

The numbers are staggering: 20 million Yemenis are food insecure, 19 million do not have access to clean water and sanitation, and the worst cholera outbreak in modern history has claimed more than 2,500 lives. According to the United Nations, 10 million people in Yemen are one step away from famine.1

HOW TO HELP ?

What parents need to teach their childern

Today we talk about Indian culture, we say that indians are forgetting indian culture and moving towards to adopt western culture. But do we know that what really is the core of Indian culture. No, we don’t even talk about that in real life, that are sacraments. Sacraments or sanskaar is the basic thing to be taught to kids because it is the root to the future development. A person is hollow without sacraments. A person can learn everything when they grows up, but not sacraments, it has to taught to a person from the very day, one is born.

In today’s world, it’s very common to see people disrespecting elders, abusing their parents, throwing them out of the house, fighting with their siblings over properties, killing eachother for money. All this is due to lack of proper sacraments, it’s not the fault of that person, it’s the fault of those parents who didn’t taught them the difference between wrong and right, who didn’t taught them to respect elders, who didn’t taught them to speak truth, who didn’t taught them that the most important thing in this world is not money & it is required just to ease our life, the most important thing is our loved ones, our family, their company.

The thing we need in our life is food, shelter and cloth, which a person can buy through earning by themselves, they don’t need their ancestors properties to live a happy life then why do they have to fight with their family members, their loved ones over those silly things.

In the will or can be say greed of becoming rich, a person takes risk, and if he succeeds then to stay at that position sacraments plays very important role because a person alone don’t succeeds, behind his success their is the hand of many other people who guided him, supported him, helped him, worked with him and to stay connected with them in the future also, one needs to give respect to them. And if he fails then not only he suffers his whole family suffers, the happy life which they have been living all vanishes just because of the greed of one.

Apart from that, today we see so many cases showing man’s inhumanity to mans, to animals, the reason is same, lack of sacraments because of which they can’t feel others pain and just do things to satisfy themselves, to make themselves happy, doesn’t care how much others are suffering, even if other person is dying they don’t care.
This is really shameful for parents whose childern promotes such kind of things.

So, it’s the first and foremost duty of parent to teach their childern, etiquettes, give proper sacraments to their child so they can become a better citizen, a better human, which world really needs because today’s world is full of human who don’t have humanity!

Keep yourself healthy in this monsoon

As monsoon arrived at some places and in some places it is arriving in some days. Most of us love this season. The feeling of rain with hot pakoras and chutney is just awesome. But this monsoon season also come with a lot of diseases like cough and cold, malaria, stomach infection, fever, typhiod, pneumonia etc, so it is necessary to prevent yourself and your family from these disease as it is very humid season so it helps in growth of many germs and mosquito breeding also takes place. So it is needed that you are careful about your diet as well as your surrounding.

FOODS WE SHOULD AVOID IN RAINY SEASON

  1. Leafy vegetables – It is true that leafy vegetable are important but we should avoid these in rainy season as grime and dampness present in them makes them highly susceptible to germs. So vegetables like spinach, cabbage and cauliflower should be avoided. Instead of that go for pungent vegetables like bitter gourd, ghiya, tori and tinde.
  2. Fresh juice and fruit from roadside vendor – In this season any fresh fruit thay have a long exposure in air should be avoided and roadside vendor keep fruit cut up in advance. So it come in contact with contaminated air. So it is good to prepare juice at home only. In home too, don’t leave cut fruits out for very long time lead to contamination.
  3. Sea food- Monsoon is the breeding season for fish and prawn. So they should be avoided this time. If you are craving for non veg, you can have chicken or mutton.
  4. Fried food- Fried food should be avoided in rainy season as high humid weather of monsoon causes digestion process to slow down, so eating fried food like pakodas, samosas can cause gastronomical complication like blotting and stomach upset.
  5. Fizzy drinks – It reduce mineral in our body which lead to reduction of enzyme activity. This is highly undesirable with an already weak digestive system. Instead of that drink a bottle of water or nimbu pani or warm beverages like ginger tea.

HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF HEALTHY

  • Avoid heavy meal and keep a light diet. Don’t eat roadside foods like chole bhature, pakoras, samosa etc.
  • Regularly do exercise. It helps to sweat our extra moisture and potentially harmful bacteria.
  • Personal hygiene is important in this season as the humid season is susceptible to germs. So use an anti-bacterial solution or soap to clean all the germs.
  • The symptoms of ear infection, flu, common cold and eye infection shouldn’t be ignored.
  • Keep drinking water to keep yourself hydrated even if you are not feeling thirsty.

Keep these things in mind so thay you can fully enjoy this season without worrying about your and your family’s health.

EFFECT OF BRANDING ON CUSTOMER PURCHASE DECISION

Branding is the process of giving a name or a sign or a symbol to a product.
One of the most important decisions that a marketer has to take in selling a product is in respect of branding. He/ She has to decide whether the firm’s product will be marketed under a brand name or a generic name.
Generic name refers to the name of the class of the product. If the products were sold by their generic names, it would be difficult for the marketers to distinguish their products from that of competitors. Therefore, most of the marketers give a name to their products, which helps in identifying and distinguishing their products from the competitors products.

As the traditional marketing tools and techniques has been replaced by the modern marketing tools and techniques and the number of factories of every good has now been increased, the producer tries to make their product different from other producer of the same product. These things give birth to a new marketing dimension and new era of marketing by the emergence of BRANDING.
In olden days, the brands were just a mark, sign or some sort of numbers to differentiate their goods. The brand then builds many function which creates the value in the mind of the customer. Like the advertisement, which is the function of the branding and it creates a unique association and memory link in the minds of customers on one side and on the other hand, it creates the demand for your goods and services as it attracts the customer, it creates awareness about your production and also educate the customer about the use of goods and services.

ADVANTAGES OF BRANDING
To the marketers

  1. Enables making product differentiation.
  2. Ease in introduction of new product.
  3. Differential pricing.
  4. Helps in advertising and display programs.
    To the customers
  5. Helps in product identification.
  6. Ensures quality.
  7. Status symbol.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD BRAND NAME

  1. A brand name should be short, easy to pronounce, spell, recognize and remember.
  2. A brand name should suggest the product’s benefits and qualities. It should be appropriate to the product’s function.
  3. A brand name should be distinctive.
  4. Chosen name should have staying power i.e., it should not het out of date.
  5. The brand name should be sufficiently versatile to accommodate new products, which are added to the product line.
  6. It should be adaptable to packaging or labelling requirements, to different advertising media and to different languages.
  7. It should be capable of being registered and protected legally.

Brand image is positive and creates many customers and build strong customers relationship with them and maintain loyalty. But if the brand image is negative, it will be harmful as there will be no customers repetition and retention. So, firm pays a huge investment on advertisement to maintain the brand image and brand equity management programs. As brand image creates perception in customer mind so after purchase, if cognitive dissonance occurs then there is a change in customer’s behavior.
Brand association will impact the consumer buying pattern and behavior. These associations will affect your decision positively if the brand image is positive. Brand loyalty reduce the cost for the firm to retain the customer forever. A loyal customer is helpful for the firm to create new customers.
Generally, brand has greater impact on consumer buying behavior. But at local level, behavior of customer also changes due to branded products and services. Consumer buying behavior is the study of actions of consumer towards planning, purchasing and consuming goods and services.
Consumer buying decision consists of 7 steps:

  1. Need recognition
  2. Information search
  3. Pre-purchase evaluation
  4. Choose alternative
  5. Purchase consumption
  6. Post consumption evaluation
  7. Feedback
    Now, market has become too much competitive due to hyper competition in the market. The best way is to compete these conditions by developing a strong brand image. Basically, the key driver of brand equity is simply brand image. By easily remembering brand , quality production increases which leads to sales increase and makes mire profit. It is the best way which leads towards maximizing market share and to sustain competitive advantage and strong position in the market.

Keepers of the Dead

My mother always tells me about the devils and the angles, about the good and the bad people, about how we should do good deeds and always walk on the right path. Since, I have heard endless stories about ruthless people, about how has the world become so selfless and mean, staying in their comfort zones, not at all concerned about the outer world and sitting happily and scrolling feeds on Instagram, this signifies that instead of caring about each other, we just want to think about ourselves, about our money and other stuff, but recently I came across a story about the superhumans who are helping the needy people and helping them to attain peace.

Shaheed Bhagat Singh Seva Dal, an NGO in Delhi which is working as the guardians of the earth and performing the last rites of many who have no one else to do so with their own hands. This is not something which everyone can do, it needs guts to perform such tasks during this time of pain and suffering. They have also been distributing masks and food to the needy throughout the day and night.

New Delhi: NGO conducts 'Langar Sewa' for workers of quarantine ...
todayheadlinesnews.com

In a place like Delhi, where people spend crores on marriages, there are some people who don’t have the right to die in peace, with a proper cremation or a burial, says Jitendra Singh Shunty, who founded the NGO in 1996.

Many people and NGO’s have come up to help the needy during this lockdown period, they have lend a helping hand and worked as saviors for these poor people who have lost all hope to live happily, but there are some who follow the wrong path, who have still not understood that this is the time where we have to unite together and help each other, they should not care about their wealth and life because one day we all have to leave this earth and rest in peace. So in order to rest in peace we should let others rest in peace. People like Jitendra Singh are doing a remarkable job. It is not easy to stand for others during this crisis. These self-sacrificing people also deserve praise, but unfortunately not many people know about this because media is busy covering useless topics. They are busy disturbing people who are in extreme agony.

World’s Best Opener Rohit Smashed Match Winning Hundred, leads India @CWC 2019 >>>>>>>>>>

Credit : Third Party Reference

Team India had their batting worries even before they played their first match in the cricket world cup, with both their openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan being in terribly poor form. No team would be blessed to have extremely talented openers as that of Rohit-Dhawan pair but when your best batsmen at the top of the order are in bad form, especially when you are into the world cup with people behind you, the entire nation and fans have high expectations from you due to your legends and ranking, it would hurt you, mainly if you are the captain of the team or the think tank in the dugout.

BUT LEGENDS RISE TO THE OCCASION.

If not both, at least one of this pair rose to the occasion and in such a great way that all appreciations flowed his way. Yes, I am speaking about India’s Hitman, Rohit Sharma and the great innings he played to take India home with their first win in their first encounter of the world cup against South Africa.

India was playing their first match in the world cup against South Africa who had already lost their first two matches. If it was important for India to start with a confidence boosting win, it was equally important for South Africa to make a win out of this match to keep their hopes alive in this tournament.

South Africa, winning the toss and batting first never looked like they were playing in their comfort zone. They looked like playing defensive, on the back foot, especially after they had lost the first two matches, to make sure that they win this one against India. It is quite understandable. But I will not take away the credit from the Indian bowlers who bowled with such discipline that they crafted the way for Indian win in the first half of the match itself. It was Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian superman with the ball, who has been producing wonderful spells in every match he plays off late and has been a bad dream for every batsman, who gave a superb start for India.

He broke havoc in the South African camp as he dismissed Hashim Amla who was returning after an injury and Quinton de Kock in quick succession keeping the Proteas at 24/2 in 6 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar tightened the things and choked the run flow from the other end. To add to the woes of South Africa, Yuzvendra Chahal proved lethal. He dismissed 4 South African batsmen and made sure that the opponents did not settle down to make a big total. Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav provided the essential support from the other end.

At 89/5 in 23 overs with all known batsmen back in the pavilion India would have wished to chase a target close to 160 or 170 runs even if the lower order resisted. But India messed it up in the last 10 overs and let things loose as South Africa finished 227 for 9 in 50 overs. At a point, they were never looking to play out the entire allotted overs. Thanks to late assault and counter-attack by the lower order Leland Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris and Kagiso Rabada who came up with useful contributions.

India were chasing 50 runs more than what they had expected to do. And whatever South Africa had scored was not less, seeing the depth of their bowling. But the bad news was that Dale Steyn was ruled out of the world cup due to injury and Ngidi was down and out for the same reason. So they bowled with deficit strength.

India always fancied their chances to chase this total down in quicktime. But Kagiso Rabada spelt menace to the Indian Batting order. Both openers Shikhar and Rohit played defensive because they could not make big shots. The South African bowling was tight, straight, disciplined and up to the mark. Rabada and Morris dried up the Indian scoring. After early loss of Dhawan’s wicket, India was struggling at 14 runs on board in 7 overs. Even the versatile Virat Kohli was taken back and had no clue where to gather the runs from.

When India lost Kohli who atypically played in his shell, almost scoring nothing, it looked like getting to the winning runs was an uphill task for Indian batsmen. 227 now looked like 350. Then the hitman opened up. He slowly started taking the attack to the opposition. He just needed good support from the other end and that was ably provided by useful contributions from K.L.Rahul and M.S.Dhoni.

Two big partnerships between Rohit and Rahul and later between Rohit and Dhoni made sure that India were cruising along towards the winning lane. South Africa bowlers too did not have any weapons left to attack once they had a clue that the Indian Batsmen were batting sensibly and not throwing their wickets. They were waiting for Indian batsmen to make mistakes but India played sensibly and with utmost caution. After all the hard work, they are not going to throw away this match. Rohit Sharma was the pioneer of this Indian win. Though it was not a typically hitman innings it was a super mature innings which came at the right time when India needed the most. To see Rohit bat with grit, like a saint was fascinating. Rohit guided India home with his superb ton. He remained unbeaten on 122 while Hardik Pandya gave the finishing touches in the way in which only he can bat. India won the match with 2 and half overs to spare.

What could have been an easy match for India was made difficult by the South African tail batsmen. What could have proved to be difficult was well sorted out by the hitman.

Chahal would have been easily the man of the match had India limited South Africa to 160 runs and easily chased it down. But those extra 50-60 runs that India chased in the difficult conditions to chase on a tricky wicket, the up-rise of hitman, and that important ton made Rohit Sharma the hero of the match. One needs to see that Rohit had scored more than half of the chase. And he dominated every partnership. The others stood and watched, just he played, and just he won the match for India.

India is considered as one of the contenders for winning this world cup and people have high expectations from Kohli and his boys. Kohli said that the expectations on his team are for the entire year and not just for the world cup and they have learnt to manage this pressure for years, during his pre-match interview. It is a statement of confidence. I wish that this does not open up the gates of being over-confidence for him or his team. But as starters, India will take this match and tick off a win column against one of the strongest teams in the competitions.

On the other side, team South Africa has lost three matches in a row. This will surely hurt them. Now they need to win almost every match they play and that would definitely be an acid test for their team. But strong teams and good teams will sort out their tough moments. I wish South Africa plan and execute everything they need to do to win their next match. I just hate seeing them being knocked out of contention tight in the mid-way of the tournament. They are not that bad side isn’t it?

Who are you?

You weren’t what you thought you were. You are not who you think you are. You will not going to be what you have thought you would be. It’s just a thought that would remain as a thought. Try to pose a question to yourself ‘Who are you’, ‘Why did you came to this world’, ‘what should you do before you no longer exist’.

Try to think for a while. Everything has a reason. You also have to do something with your life. There is a reason for your existence. Don’t try to leave this world without completing it. Don’t try to become what you think you could become. You will become what you have to become but not what you think you could become. Accept what you have become because its intended that way. Try to take everything in a positive way and move on. You can’t change what you can’t change. Try to be in change rather trying to change the change. Experience the change. Try to become what you could. If you became what you thought you would become then definitely that is not you became what you thought to be. It is coincidence of life. Life wanted to see you what it thought to be and that had matched with your thought of becoming.

Life is a game which makes us play the same way that it thought to be played. We are just the players who can’t olay the way we want to because our options are limited. The game is played in the way that it had to be played. We think that we can play the game the way we want to play and will be thinking the same until the end. We think that we can change the way the match is to be played but we can’t. But we never stop trying. This is the way the game is played. The life makes us believe that we could change the way the game is played and we try to do what we think that we could do but we never knew the game plan of the life is also same. They built up the hope within us and make a fake promise and make us try the way that had to be done. We didn’t do what we had to. Life made us do what it had to.

Don’t believe yourself blindly. The only thing that matters is hardwork. There is no shortcut to success. Don’t believe in smart work. The real smartness is believing in working hard rather than fooling yourself being smart. Don’t try to remember the things that had to be remembered because the things appear to be remembered because they made it look like the things that should be remembered. Similarly don’t try to look at the things the way they seemed to appear. If you want to be who you would be then definitely don’t try to be what you thought to be. Try to look the things in a different manner because it’s the only way to make the things appear normal. The normal appears to be normal only when the normal isn’t normal. The only way to do it is seeing normal to be abnormal.

You are here not for something that you thought. You might be here for the things that you thought you had to do. There is a right time for everything. You will get to know about your doing before you ought to do. You don’t know who you are but you will do what you had to. Your existence has a reason and the things that you had to do will be done before your realise your existence.

Why I blog?

So many people out there will start blog for so many reasons. I cannot speak for anyone else but myself, neither I can explain why I want to. There’s always been something in me that wanted to share and maybe motivate others, and that “something” was pointed out by you! I couldn’t be more thankful to you, you made me realize my talent and you pushed me towards it in every way possible. From winning first prize in Durga pooja when I was in seventh standard to this day you never stopped motivating me. Everyone helped me but you saw my ability.

I like to think, I have depth in me. I want to see a thing in as many ways as possible. I am a thousand thoughts per minute kind of a girl and I love it. This thing makes my soul happy and I shine. I have this tremendous amount of happy feeling knowing I can present myself in front of everyone with the power of word!

Do I know what I’m doing? Not really, I guess! And that’s the thing. Does anyone know what they are doing when they try something new? Maybe yes maybe no, but should it stop you! HELL NO! Everything is worth trying for not matter you failed or succeeded because it’s the journey that matters and you gain experience.

My reason for this post is to help anyone out there with a thought to try. Pursue whatever you are drawn to, even if you don’t know how to get started or if you make mistakes along the way. Mistakes create character and strength and not giving up the ultimate weapon. You will always have motivation in one or another way and sometimes it is in the form of a person like I had and I still have!

My answer to “why I blog?” will always be; “because I love to express myself” and it feels good to know people are reading you! I would like to thank everyone who helped me, motivated me throughout but you deserved an appreciation post. So, Thank YOU!

Animal Cruelty Needs To Stop!

Every year, millions of animals are killed in India either to feed the non-vegetarian population or in laboratories for medical experiments. Cruelty against animals is a cognizable offence under Section 428 and Section 429 of the Indian penal code. There is an urgent need to implement effectively the laws made for the protection of animals. The first step towards which is educating children to have respect for animals and treat with them kindly. Food and shelter should be provided to street dogs by government shelters, and registered firms and NGOs to assure their safety. There is also a need to have stricter laws for protection of animals.

Compassion and kindness are true-blue Indian values. Even the Constitution of India reflects these values in its Fundamental Duties [51 A (g)]. Show your kindness and stand up for the animals.

In the early twentieth century, when the colonial state’s emphasis shifted from the ‘preservation of game’ to the ‘protection of wildlife’ in keeping with the emergence of a global conservationist discourse, the “natives” were now deemed incapable of appreciating the aesthetic value of ‘Nature’ because of their inherently “utilitarian” philosophy of life. Contemporary critiques of the “cruelty” of those people who live in intimate proximity with wild animals, ‘cruelty’ that is believed to be rooted in an inability to appreciate Nature at best and in natural depravity at worst, echo these racialised colonial discourses in disturbing ways. Indeed, the demand that “problem” animals be “humanely” killed with a clean shot instead of explosives (as if shooting does not often lead to debilitating injury for wild animals) is eerily, even if unintentionally, reminiscent of colonial distinctions between “good” and “bad” hunting.

On May 30 2020, Mohan Krishnan, a Forest Officer in Kerala, posted images of an elephant standing chest-deep in a pool of clear green water to his Facebook page. The text accompanying the image described how the elephant, who was pregnant, had eaten some fruit that concealed an explosive. She stayed in the water, presumably to find relief for her injuries, until she eventually passed away. This isn’t the first instance of cruelty that burst into headlines. In 2016, a police horse Shaktiman, died following the merciless thrashing it reportedly received from a BJP MLA during a party rally in Uttarakhand and the ensuing political battle over who deserves blame raises the more important moral battle around our treatment of animals in India. Such incidents have become all too common (just a few days after this tragic incident, a young man was charged with stabbing stray dogs on the streets of Delhi). This pattern of animal abuse across India reveals enduring weaknesses in our country’s laws against cruelty to animals.

While the elephant’s death was an unhappy event, the categories of “cruelty” and “innocence” that were deployed to narrate it are not simply descriptive. Instead, they are the legacy of complex histories and politics. For instance, the supposedly intrinsic “cruelty” of the “natives”, a racist caricature, was a favorite theme in the shikar memoirs of many colonial officials. Colonial hunters condemned most “native” shikaris, who belonged largely to Dalit, Bahujan, and Adivasi communities, for the lack of “sportsmanship” they exhibited in the method they chose when killing animals, whether it was poisoning carcasses or setting snares and traps for animals.

These practices were criminalised as “poaching” under game-protection laws passed by the colonial state in the late nineteenth century. Ironically, these laws were passed to arrest a steep decline in wildlife numbers that was caused not by “native” hunters, but by what could be described as an orgy of hunting by colonial officials bent on eradicating “vermin” animals (which included tigers,  lions, leopards, bears, and wolves among others). 

Glimmer of Hope

The onus is only partially on lawmakers – and yes, we have made some progress in the last few years. In 2014, the Ministry for Health and Family Welfare published a draft notification to amend The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, to ban the import of cosmetics tested on animals, as I had proposed. Humane Society International estimates that approximately 100,000 to 200,000 mice, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and monkeys suffer and die for the sake of cosmetics — an alarming number, which may be an undercount since many countries do not have reliable statistics or data.

Narratives that emphasise the intrinsic innocence of animals are also problematic in the ways that they construct the object of activism. As the anthropologist Miriam Ticktin notes, figures of innocence – whether the child or the animal – play a key role in driving modern humanitarian projects because they promise a space of purity in an impure world. Much animal-welfare activism, for example, relies heavily on the claim that it is morally good to protect innocent animals, who cannot protect themselves, from human depravity. However, as Ticktin argues, innocence always implies its opposite: non-innocence. Establishing the innocence of the pregnant elephant thus relied on highlighting the ‘conscious, criminal cruelty’ of those who killed her. The danger of these categories, then, is that they create a purity that makes it difficult to understand the complex history of human-animal relationships in everyday contexts where humans are as much at risk from wild animals as the other way around. 

As its righlty said, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’. So, we need to stop animal cruelty at home by not attacking stray dogs. So maybe we should all take a minute to step back and think, before freaking out the moment we see a stray dog on the street? After all, what harm can it really do to us? It has no reason at all to attack us, and there is, therefore, no reason to fear an attack from it. Further, if stray dogs can dauntlessly strut around humans, in light of the torture we inflict upon them, we should also have the courage to not be afraid of them.

It is surprising how such incidents occur in a land that has worshipped animals for centuries. The very core values of Hinduism live in consonance with nature, as vividly demonstrated in the Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Gods have presented themselves as animals in their various avatars, formed partnerships with them and used them as sacred vehicles (vahanas) and companions – from the little mouse that  Ganesha rides, to Anantha or Sheshanaga, Vishnu’s snake bed and protector, or Hanuman, Rama’s vassal who plays an integral role in helping him defeat the ten-headed King Ravana. Animals have been celebrated in our lives and culture sice time immemorial. Hence, it is time we stop our inhumane behaviour and let animals live without pain.

“Unseen they suffer,

Unheard they cry,

In agony, they linger,

In loneliness, they die.”

“Human And Their Natural Interference”.

Man has been utilizing various natural as well as artificial resources around himself to build essential things required in  daily activities. With the need and reliability factor, man has been shifting to metals and material for better durability,consistently, toughness and many such properties. But since the inception of technology, a drastic shift could be seen in utilization of material for various usage. Prominently plastic. Plastic is used in almost everything we think of, including our food. The desired properties of this material make it perfect to be used for different aspects and can be converted to desired shape and size as per the requirement. This surely has made life of man much easier as it used to be. Be it for storing things, irrespective of its state be liquid, solid or gas, for carrying goods, in LCD,LED, even our smartphones, utensils, vehicles and many more. We are surrounded by plastic and material made from them, as a factor of their number of advantages in today’s tough World. 

Plastic generally comprises small polymers, long and repeating chains. These polymers can be break down and can be utilized to make new synthetic materials from it. This makes the new material or the synthetic products to be better than the natural ones, be in their properties of light weight, more elastic, long lasting and Moldable. The wide availability and easy production makes it wisely available and at cheaper rates. These factors surely make plastic an important and integral part of our life until we see it’s effect on our nature and surrounding .Plastic being one of the synthetic and durable products with strong bonds between its molecules, it could take 100 of years to get decomposed. The piling up of plastic as cups, carry bags, water bottles and many more in various rivers, and in  our surrounding is leading to a harmful effect to our nature. More than 40% of plastic is used for wrapping up of food contents and packaging. This plastic is more oftenly a waste and thrown away with the single use motto of every individual. This waste us piling up and is filling up spaces. 

But what are the initials steps to it? As per the survey 9% of this waste is being recycled, while 12% was burnt. Burning of plastic releases harmful gases which might not be suitable for any living being to inhale, also not adds on to the content of carbon in our nature and thus a key factor in global warming. But rest 79% of plastic is still present around us. We are deteriorating our surroundings, ocean, river with these plastics, thus also affecting marine life. But the most dangerous impact these plastics are making is that these get divided into smaller and smaller parts which get mixed up with the water, and it does get difficult to remove plastic completely from these water resources. This is most often consumed by marine animals and results in common deaths, since these contain a lot of chemicals in them and are also not easy to digest. But their main concern is that even we humans eat seafood, and are thus more likely to get affected by this. 

So what could be done, while our life is still dependent on this material. Banning of plastic could not be a final solution. But reducing single use and using these for multiple times could definitely reduce its waste. We could reduce the unnecessary production of plastic and shift to more eco friendly ways for the same. The government around the world must come together and find a proper solution for the same and also initially research a better alternative for this material which could prove to be cheaper and not harm our nature. Also the industrial plastic waste must be segregated in a much better way instead of rivers, so as to reduce the plastic and pollutants in our rivers. 

“It’s high time to understand the harmful effects of this material and come together to find  the better options as we have alternatives to the material but not more alternatives to the planet. We have one planet with us, so with the essence of oneness and unity we need to work in order to make our earth secure”. 

Happiness in small packets

In this fast pacing life where we all want to do something big and are working towards it  day and night to achieve that, we often tend to forget ourselves. We limit ourselves  so that we only focus on that one big  thing in life. Thats expected  because life  is short  and there are many things to achieve. Like said in the movie “Bawarchi”  In waiting of a big happy moment we miss theses small happy moments.  we take many things for granted, we tend to forget that things change with time and they don’t stay there forever, like spending time with family and friends and To be grateful for the things we have.  These things may look insignificant but they have a great impact in our lives. Having a heartfelt conversation with your well wishers can bring out solution to any problem one faces, also the support they give can give the strength to face any difficulties in life. When we give importance to the things which makes us happy , it actually adds meaning to our lives this is what makes us different from machines that can’t feel anything rather just work mechanically and rest so as to get charged up to work again.

Like we say love should be just a part of our lives, career also should only be a part of our life rather than the whole life. You can prioritize career over anything else but that does not mean, you stop yourself from doing anything else. Your life is what you define not with what one has to say about it . Its all about adding meaning to your life that actually makes you realize the importance of being alive, and eventually to respect it. Nothing is more important than being alive. Stress and problems do come and go, nothing is permanent taking any step in that rage which will cost life should never be an option. In India over 28 people commits suicide every day  and most of them   between 15-40 years of age. There are many reasons like pressure of studies, unemployment, and sometimes loneliness.  You may wonder how can loneliness kill a person?

When a person feels lonely, thats a the time where he or she feels completely stranded like there is no one to talk to or express his feelings. One thinks no one cares about him and  such feelings starts to fill up the mind then one thing leads to other and such people take a harsh step of ending their own life. Its just a thought of one second, if  at that time like in Bollywood movie’s hero  their conscience hits them and make them realize what they are doing is completely unjustified this can save  their life . We just have one life , that would end one day why to end earlier.  Its not very difficult  to be happy, it just requires us to  do things that gives us  happiness. When years passes by one would look back and feel how grateful he is to the hero that came on time and rescued him from taking the terrible step, and as it is said  life should be big and  that should be  filled with happiness .

 

Strength comes from struggle and rebel……

Everyone is aware of the word of rebels, and ones in while many of you are also done in your life at school, colleges, or other public places for gatting rights according to your demands. However, in the past also people have done rebels to get political rights, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose,  Shahid Bhagat Singh, and more freedom fighter also have contributed for getting freedom from the British people. furthermore, a rebel is not the only way to get rights, instead, there is some legal process to do, which is made by the government of all counties.

The famous rebel incident happened between Indian solders and Kashmir’s citizens, this whole incident started from Kashmiri people, they started the attack by throwing stones on Indian soldiers and we all know that soldiers do not have rights to file at the time of the attack they have to wait for the order from the government, and then they can fire when the government gave the order to fire before that two or three soldiers had serious injuries, but when Indian army get the order then they did a great job by killing The 12-hour gunbattle ended with the killing of Junaid Ashraf Sehrai, a commander of Kashmir’s largest rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen, and his aide. Junaid, son of senior separatist leader Mohammed Ashraf Sehrai, joined the rebel ranks in early 2018 after graduating in business management from the region’s main university.

However, in Bollywood, many people have done rebel against the nepotism but there some strong pillars, who don’t wont to do changes in the industry, they do not give chance to new people, many people wont to join the Bollywood and they give interviews and show their work buy doing the theater and making small and short films, but the big director and producer always support the famous personalities child-like Varun Dhawan, Ananya Pandey, and many more. But people like from small families and not wall background never chance to show them in front of society and what they can do for the community. celebrities like Pankaj Tripathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Manoj Bajpai, Johny lever and Sushant Singh Rajput had done exceptional debut in Bollywood by doing small T.V. serials and theater, and look at how they become famous worldwide famous stars without showing their body or fighting skill, which is very common in nowadays movies, but this senior actor always wins our heart by delivering dialogues. people who do not have celebrity background they always have to struggle, and nowadays young personalities share messages they “they have struggled after sign 10 to 20 films and advertisement.” shame on them by spreading fake, abominable and detrimental rumors, we have proof, they said by their own word on a national television show like coffee with Karan, at the beginning of the carrier people say that I admire that person and i follow them, but after getting success they forget, by ignoring and do not talk about them.

if anyone wont to look perfect nepotism then look the last few film awards, where Ananya Panday aka miss.struggle received Zee cine Award for Best Debut Actress, Filmfare Awards for Best Debut Actress, and lately best fresh Talent of the year, moreover on another side Sushant Singh Rajput did not get any award even though, he has done grate lead role in chhichhore.

So, please guys don’t support fake people, instead of support upcoming and real struggle persons, who can motivate us by simply narrating their story, be a lone wolf do not depend on someone to make a clear way.

 

I can’t breathe…

a protester, holding words” I can’t Breathe”.

Today, the whole world is facing huge crisis of global pandemic Covid-19 due to spreading of novel Corona virus.This virus is said to be evolve in China and China constantly denied it.

All the big economies of the world like USA, Japan, China, India and Russia have been victim of this pandemic.

In such situation USA is meeting an another problem that is Racial discrimination ( Black vs White ).The problem is not new but The extrajudicial killing of George Floyd has sparked days of unrest and protest around the United States. What is less well known but no less important is how this event has sparked massive anti-racism protests around the world, including in Nairobi, Lagos, London, Berlin, Toronto and most recently, Paris.

George Floyd, an african american,46, who was pinned under the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis,was killed by that white officer.Floyd was constantly saying under his knee” I can’t breathe”.This sentence has prompted more than a week of street protests throughout the states,

The sentence”I can’t breathe” is not new for the African Americans .An another matter was introduced earlier in which a black man was killed by police personnels in USA with words ” I can’t breathe ” and this sentence also hold the meanings of all discrimination taking place there in USA.In jobs ,In schools in society everywhere a racial discriminative surrounding is established there where these poor black african americans are living miserably.

In USA, where the data of covid patients releases failure of USA against the well established health system, this racial dispute is showing it’s weakness in administrative fields too.

USA is burning with the fires of discrimination as well as highest cases of covid-19. USA should be more careful nowadays and should not play any political games .USA is failing to pretend to be the World Power whereas China is also being the victim of not spreading awareness of the virus in the world.

In such situation India can emerge like a Vishwa Guru again but we just need to be self relient to hold our country back to the ancient path of being Golden Bird.We Indians are proud to be resident of such a country, where all the posibilities of human lookings are present but besides of these India is United.

Many people want to break our union on behalf of Hindu and Muslim religion but I’m damn sure that they would never succeed.

BIPOLAR DISORDER!

Extreme highs to extreme lows.

Mental health is being understood as one of the primary areas in health protocols around the world and has also been included in the Sustainable Development Goals. Mental Disorders are among the leading causes of nonfatal disease burden in India, but the States lack a systematic understanding like the risk factors, disease burden. In 2017, 197·3 million (95% UI 178·4–216·4) people had mental disorders in India, including 45·7 million (42·4–49·8) with depressive disorders and 44·9 million (41·2–48·9) with anxiety disorders. One in seven Indians were affected by mental disorders of varying severity in 2017. In the same year, India launched the Mental Health Care Act which focused on delivering
proper, inexpensive, and widespread permits to mental health care. The proportional contribution of mental disorders to the total disease burden in India has almost doubled since 1990. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2001 that about 450 million people worldwide suffer from some form of mental disorder or brain condition and that one in four people meet criteria at some point in their life. More than 2 million adults in the U.S. are coping
with bipolar disorder right now. https://www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/understanding-bipolar-disorder

Depression and bipolar disorder!
Depression and BPD have similarities but they aren’t the same. Depression deals with deep thoughts, emptiness, feeling low, not loving things that you probably used to cherish, extreme sleep problems. Bipolar disorder deals with both ups and downs in moods. One may feel irresistible, energetic in extreme highs, and depressed, awful in extreme lows.
What is bipolar disorder?
Earlier people used to consider bipolar as mood swing but research showed that a disorder named as ‘Bipolar Disorder’ causes tremendous shifts in moods from extreme low to extreme high. Bi means two and polar refers to the two polarities in the mood. Bipolar disorder is basically a serious mental illness of the brain. An individual can go for periods of depression and boosted moods(extreme low and extreme high). If severely boosted moods then it is known as mania, whereas if not so severe then these are called hypomania.
Causes.
The exact cause is unknown but there are unavoidable facets that contribute to this epic disorder. The causes can be genetic as well as due to surrounding. Environmental causes include long term stress, childhood abuse, psychological trauma. Genetic facets constitute about 70–90% of the risk of developing bipolar disorder.
Symptoms.
In this disorder, the individual may go through highs and lows in mood and personality. When they are extremely high they feel on top of the world, can’t sleep, unbeatable, easily distracted with low focus, a lot of energy, showing risky and impulsive behavior. In their major lows, they feel depressed, hopeless, guilty, do not sleep or sometimes may sleep a lot, loss of appetite, loss or gain in weight. While these symptoms go on, they also come up with suicidal thoughts. In severe conditions, they can outdo committing suicide too.

Treatment.
Psychotherapy, antidepressant, Antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, talk therapies.

What if not treated?
If not treated in due course of time, an individual may indulge in alcohol and drugs. In less serious cases, they may end up losing a job, dissatisfaction with themselves. If a student suffers from BPD, he may face grades declining or may even fail. If the treatment not delivered in proper time, they end up giving on life and commit suicide.
