Festivities at it's Best.....

Image
  Festivities at it's Best... Festivals are the heartbeat of our culture, moments that remind us to pause, smile, and celebrate the blessings that life offers. Each festival carries its own fragrance of faith, joy, and belonging. They connect generations, strengthen relationships, and create memories that linger in our hearts long after the celebrations end. The rhythm of festivity is not just about rituals or decorations; it’s about igniting the light of togetherness and gratitude in every home. When the world faced the pandemic, it felt as if a dark shadow had fallen over humanity. Yet, even that phase brought an unseen blessing, a transformation. Corona may have been a devil in disguise, but it changed the direction of our thoughts in a positive way. We began to value our health, our elders, and our family bonds more deeply. We learned that happiness is not found in grandeur but in being together. Lighting diyas at home, checking on loved ones, sharing laughter on video calls, a...

Nurturing Nature: Our Sacred Birthright....

Image
  Nurturing Nature: Our Sacred Birthright... Since the time I can remember, nature has always been my silent teacher. Every rustle of the leaf, every wave in the sea, every sunrise speaks a language of balance and patience. I believe that to nurture nature is our sacred birthright, not just a duty. We are born from the same five elements that shape this universe, and when we care for them, we reconnect with our essence. Somewhere along our journey of progress, we have started taking nature’s gifts for granted, forgetting that dits well-being is directly tied to our own. In today’s fast-paced world, where technology often replaces touch and noise overshadows silence, we tend to forget that nature is not outside of us, it is within us. Each time I pause to observe its rhythm, I realize how beautifully it mirrors our own inner cycles of growth, rest, and renewal. The moment we start acknowledging this interconnection, our sense of purpose deepens, and nurturing nature becomes an act o...

Courage is like a muscle, we strengthen it by use…

  Courage is like a muscle,  we strengthen it by use ... I once read that it is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit. And the strength of the spirit is possible only through individual courage. Since the time I was born till now, I have met, observed, and moved around with so many human beings. Perhaps in the earlier years of life, I was not mature enough to understand, but with experience, I feel there has been a major change among human beings after the pandemic. As we saw many of our loved ones affected by different health issues, we started becoming more aware of our physical health, doing exercises, following diet regimes, and maintaining disciplined food habits.  But beyond that, one more important parameter we must understand is to ignite and stay aware of our spirit, our deep consciousness. This is only possible when we decide to work hard for it, to never give up on what we truly want to do. I read in a recently published book ...

Make your life journey better than yesterday...

Image
  Make your life journey better than yesterday... Our national leader Gandhiji used to say, “Your future totally depends on what you do today.” He also said, “It is health which is your true wealth, not gold or silver.” The reality is that we all work hard to collect silver and gold for our future security, but in doing so, we often forget how important our health is. I was talking to a housewife who spends her entire day taking care of everyone. Due to menopause and other health issues, it has become difficult for her even to walk around the house, and going out has become almost impossible. She is around 50, and at such a young age, she is withdrawing from social activities. She worked hard raising her two children, who are now doing well and earning well for themselves, but she cannot enjoy the fruits of her efforts because her legs don’t support her. If she continues this way, without taking care of her health, how will her life journey be better than yesterday? Those who are g...

The possibilities are endless...

  The possibilities are endless... There is a saying that those who can see the invisible can do the impossible. It is also said that possibilities are endless, but it depends on how we act and react to them. Those who overcome difficulties and focus on possibilities are people with determined minds and strong willpower. They see endless opportunities in life. The best example for me is our hearing-impaired kids. Even though one of their senses does not function well, even though they sometimes feel isolated from mainstream society, even though they struggle to get education, employment, and social status, they still face everything with smiling faces and give their best. They are humble, grateful at heart, and happy with whatever God has given them. Technology has brought a revolution for them, and today, many hearing-impaired people with 80–90% hearing difficulty have achieved higher education, like PhDs in physics, careers as social entrepreneurs, interior designers, architects,...

Find beauty in simple things…

Image
  Find beauty in simple things…. Positivity is a simple word, but when you put it into action, it creates a greater impact. My writings on positivity were initially just an attempt to think differently, but now, when I reflect deeply, I realize that the word is simple yet powerful enough to change a person’s life. As you know, I have been writing for more than 5 years, and many people call me or meet me to discuss how to remain positive. I try my best to help them find the best solutions to their difficulties. When I published my book, one elderly gentleman came to me and said, “I am 82, retired, educated, but restless because I feel I have not done anything purposeful in my life. I enjoy writing and dream of publishing my own book, but I don’t know how to go about it.” I advised him to simply start writing whatever came to his mind, and once he had written at least 50 pages, he could review them and identify the core message he wanted to share with society. Age is just a number. O...

Enjoy Life While It Is Yours...

 Enjoy Life While It Is Yours... Enjoy life while it is yours… wow! What a positive way to remind ourselves that life, though it feels like a roller coaster, is meant to be enjoyed. Many times, you wake up in the morning with a plan, things to do at home and at the workplace, and suddenly, life surprises you. For instance, you may plan to go out, but instead get a surprise visit from a friend you haven’t met in a long time. You cancel your earlier plans and spend time enjoying the beautiful moments of reconnecting. Or, you set out for work and suddenly the train or bus is unavailable. You are compelled to reach the office, so you try different ways, an auto, then a taxi, and even walking. Somehow, you manage. And the satisfaction of finally reaching is beyond imagination. Recently, something similar happened. We were traveling for two days, and it was hectic. But in those two days, we completed our work and also visited temples. Though long queues of people stood waiting, we were p...
