Destined

Whatever is destined to happen- it will happen!!!

Such a big statement, and heavy too!!

A small story around it..

Siya was sitting peacefully sipping her morning hot tea and her phone rang. She was at peace as morning rush was over, kids were on the way to school, husband went to the office. She thought of having a tea and then after an hour or so had planned to start her work. 

Puzzled by seeing unknown number on the phone, she picked. It was her daughter. She called from someone else mobile as she forgot hers at home. That also she realised only after boarding the bus. 

She sounded a bit panic to Siya.. after hearing her, Siya realised what had happened. Siya’s son used to travel with her sister, everyday to school by public transport. And he forgot his school bag in the bus. Siya appreciated her daughter’s  presence of mind to inform Siya immediately whatever happened. Siya asked her to relax, go to school, and mange both of their lunches and breakfast. Also, requested her to inform her son’s class teacher about he not having his school bag as well as lunch bag with him. Her daughter must have done as instructed, as she was quite matured and a responsible girl. 

Siya registered the complaint on lost and found department of transport office and meanwhile tried to keep the track of the bus in which he forgot his bag. In an hour’s time Siya got a call from the bus dept that the bag had been found and deposited in their main office. The main office was just few stops ahead of kid’s school. Siya was wondering that she had to travel now to the main office and get the bag. 

A day before her son requested Siya to drop him to school, but Siya had some important office work so she asked both of them to follow their own routine. And see what happened now..she had to go with the same bus and same route to collect his bag…

Was it destined for her to travel in that bus…. Siya started thinking.

Soon, she was ready to go.. and finally boarded the bus which was destined for her for that day!!!!!

Love or Like in my terms

 ‘Love’ or ‘Like’ in my terms

Exothermic Like and endothermic love, 

Seem to denote the chemical changes with a smiling curve

Like is smooth reactions occurring in nature,

Love needs special catalyst, pressure and temperature

Le-Chatelier said equilibrium shifts to right or left,

Wondering which side each one to be kept

Like makes it all homogenous,

Love is meant to be heterogenous

Like is reactive and shiny as a metal,

Love has nothing to do with periodicity found in the table

Like is an anode, positive terminal of the cell,

Love is a cathode, metal deposition there needs no story to tell

Charge bearers, protons and electrons,

Love is prone to decay and like is a neutron

It’s all about chemistry with Like or Love,

Maybe, Like is spontaneous and Love is a shove

Zeal

 Zeal

I saw a post on fb while I was having my morning tea. 

It said about boredom in mid-age; that is 40’s.. I got puzzled for a second, does it really happen?

 

And it triggered my thought process and pushed me to pen down something. 

What exactly it feels when someone says ‘ getting bored in life’? 

I guess it feels like not having any zeal, positivity towards life. Energy-less life will of course be boring. It follows science too. We all have learnt law of conservation of energy. Based on it, if we are not putting any energy, we won’t get or feel that energy in any aspect. 

Let me elaborate my point. 

If we look at boredom, one of the reasons could be monotonous routine/ life one has. Or I can say each day is on autopilot mode. 

If nothing new is happening in life then of course there will be some laziness or disinterest towards life.

Now, what to get this ‘NEW’ in life?

Simple ways according to me:

1. Start challenging yourself. Keep some aim or goal. Of course short term goals, so you will have pleasure of achieving those. E.g. if you are not very regular in exercise then plan/ try to be regular in it. Plan your day accordingly. This small goal may give you different perspective and fill some enthusiasm in you. While doing this please keep it in mind that the goals should be short term and achievable, very drastic challenges may not serve the purpose. 
2. Another way could be start learning something new which you don’t know at all or had a dream of learning it but couldn’t do yet. Like gardening, cooking or know more about galaxies anything of your interest. Start learning about it via some classes or books or information from google. May be you will get to know such facts that may ignite your thoughts and attitude towards life.
3. Most of us can’t pursue our hobby as we are running behind our dreams and stability. Now, this is the time. Whatever you couldn’t do or gave up, please try to pursue that again. Your hobby will keep you motivated, energetic, interested in life.

Importantly, we should keep ourself busy. Let me put it in some mathematics form.

It’s proven that frequency of negative thoughts is quite high compared to that of positive thoughts.

It’s almost 100:1

100 negative thoughts and 1 positive thought. That’s the ratio for any human being unless one has mastered his/her thought process. 

So, if we are not busy that means we are bound to think. And obviously resulting in mostly negative thoughts. That withdraws energy possessed by us and instead gives disinterest, negativity, lack of enthusiasm. 

Concluding, keep your brain busy and active by the things which interest you: may be work, social activities, reading, writing, art, music, dance anything which is creative, innovative. This will give you the zeal which is missing….

Stay busy, Stay happy!

Happy living!

Gift of self-defence

 Gift of self- defence 

This beautiful thought came to my mind when I was talking to my daughter and were discussing about different flowers, animals, birds… then realised a but obvious thing that every animal, bird or even flower- plants have been gifted by its own special self defence technique. The god or almighty is so kind that it has made survival of every living being easy by gifting some natural self defence technique. If this is true for all living beings then we are also not an exception!!

Each one of us has got something special in us which will help us to survive. We just have to understand what’s that about self.

We experience a lot of different incidences as we live in the society.

E.g someone is too harsh with us and every time we speak to that person and he or she puts us down. So, we get hurt emotionally. Now, can we use our defence technique and not allow that person to hurt us. 

sounds great right!!

What we need to do for that? 

We just have to see what works best for us in these type of situations for not getting hurt. 

Use your own self-defence technique.

Often experienced bullying, overpowering by closed ones or by any random person can be stopped or minimised by using the gift we have received from the almighty. 

Everyone is unique and different in its own way!! We just have to understand and explore ourselves and figure out what gift we have got!!!!

This will certainly help and protect us from any unwanted debates, discussions, fights and so on…

So, don’t feel helpless or don’t cry, just trust the almighty and yourself, and find your own defence technique. 

I am sure once you find it and start using it, the life will become much much much easier. 

So, let’s get started!!!!! 

I am also trying to figure out mine…

Happy living!
