A light in the darkness

 " In the end we all will become stories."                                                                                                                             Margaret Atwood Birth of a book was never an accident, but an insightful recording preserved for future generations. As Margaret Atwood stresses, we all will one day become stories- some stories which everyone wants to read always like 

1. Just don't overload.   "The time to relax is when there is no time for it."                                                                                         Sidney J Harris The first argument I present for taking a break is when you feel you just can't take a break because the deadline is near or a lot is left to do. Just at that time, your body is too stressed out and is asking you for a break to relax and rejuvenate. It is something like when you were preparing the whole night for your final exam and in the morning you felt you forgot everything. Why? Because your brain was overloaded, like an electronic gadget, it went wrong. Similarly, when we work on our content, a lot of things go through our brains. Our brain does get overloaded, and there is a possibility that it might stop working.   2. Listen to your body's cry.     "If you don't pick a day to relax,   your body will pick it for you."                                               

Tired of the whole week's load, I long for the day off to refresh and rejuvenate me so that I have a week full of enthusiasm and sparks. So, the first thing that I love to do on my days off is to sleep a little longer. I loved to sleep for long hours during childhood, so when I sleep longer, I feel like I did something really good. Then my day-off drill begins a day before when I arrange for things that I would like to cook on this day. Cooking has always been a very good stress buster for me, so on my days off, I always try to prepare something special to have with my family. I never like to have meals alone, so I see to it that we dine for dinner together. We watch TV, talk, and laugh while we enjoy our dinner. But on my days off, when I make special lunches and breakfasts, I feel I have accomplished something very good in my life, and I love to cook like this for my family. The days off are my cleaning days. I clean my house completely and do the laundry. So, this is my day to m

“Organisation begins  with the awareness of  what doesn’t work for us.” 1. Reincarnation Captured memories from the aperture of time befalls themselves into the family album in the chronological line. Their assembly joins hands to reincarnate the lived moment once again, giving us strength and refreshing our souls.  We all have seen photo albums.  Yes. We cherish making marriage albums, school albums, travel and trip albums. What we do here is gather all the moments and place them as we have lived or enjoyed. By this organisation I preserve my happy moments and live them every time I turn those pages.  If I had kept them thrown many would have been destroyed and many would have been lost also. Those moments might even get washed off our minds too.  Similarly, when I organise and make cherishable and liveable memories in my living space I am actually making everyday albums and store them in my thought diary. These thought diaries are the soil of creative ideas. Whenever I had dearth of

"The best way to make children good is to make them happy."                                                                                      Oscar Wilde We live our life in stages. There is a childhood stage, adolescence stage, adult stage, and old age stage. We live them all and try to make each stages as good as possible. In our life this childhood and adolescent stage is much influenced by our parents and their parenting. The famous psychologist Alfred Adler mentions that the way a parent interacts with their child has an impact on the child's future. His studies show that the parenting styles could contribute towards  inferiority complex  in children.  Exploring about parenting lead me to discover that the aggressiveness in children is associated with their unmet needs. Jan Hunt in her book "The Natural child- parenting from the heart" some of the silly mistakes which we do where upbringing our children. She mentions that we objectify our babies and mani

Cadet Josh was an intelligent guy full of enthusiasm and zeal. He had all the skills he needed to become a fighter . He felt content in himself and was looking forward to a challenging posting after his commissioning on 28th June, 2023.His batchmates patted him saying, "You will definitely write a new era in the pilot's history." He would quietly smile and say to himself, "Yeah! I'll do it.' Every morning as he got up he would strike off a day from his calendar reminding himself that he is one more day nearer to his destiny. There he would smile and sigh to himself and say, 'Ah! Just a few more days and I'm up in the air to conquer the unfair.’ His faculties were proud to have him on board with no match to him. At this moment Josh says, 'The table is set. I have to just toast my glass and celebrate my victory.’ The countdown begins. The final touch-up for the ceremony has begun. Everyone was busy making themselves to be in their best form. The ai
