Cultivating gratitude

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

When you feel grateful for what you have, what you do, what you have achieved, you find yourself happy. While it’s easy to feel a rush of joy after winning the lottery or receiving a big promotion at work, gratitude extends to the smaller blessings in life that are often overlooked or taken for granted.

Whatever your circumstances in life, every time it’s not possible to show gratitude. Many of us get caught up in a negativity bias, where we linger on bad news and unpleasant experiences, yet allow moments of positivity to fade into the background.

The idea of cultivating gratitude might sound cheesy, but research has shown that it can have very real benefits. You can use gratitude to uplift your mood, change the surroundings, find respite from negativity, foster stronger relationships, and even change the way you view yourself.

Expectation of Praposal

I am tired of waiting, why is he not expressing his love? After all what is he afraid of? I have told him several times with body language and gestures but he is not understanding it. You are not talking openly in that direction, that is why sometimes I get irritated and start fighting with you. And yes listen, if I get angry immediately convince me, because that is not my intention.

I know you tried once but you started stuttering in the last few moments and I started laughing, then you got nervous and changed the topic. But later I regretted it and didn’t even say sorry to you. But you are a boy, you would get angry and scold me, I would become quiet and then you would put forward your point without hesitation.

Even if I refuse your praposal first time, you should not get worried and try again. I am yours and will always be yours. I have made up my mind. But how can I agree immediately. You should stick to your point and not lose your cool, I will take some time and then I will agree.

Social connection

Was today typical?

Human beings are inherently social. We thrive on connection, communication and shared experiences, which help shape our identities and foster a sense of belonging. Yet, in an increasingly digital and fast-paced world, feelings of loneliness and social isolation have become alarmingly common.

Nowadays people do not want to deal with anyone, everyone is busy with their own things. If in such a situation you ever feel that sometimes you see how good someone is to you. And sometimes, the same person who changed your life disappears in a moment.

So if ever there is a misfortune with anyone or someone is in need, we should help him as much as possible. If you are not capable of helping someone, then at least we should fulfill our social responsibility by being physically present in their happiness and sorrow. That’s why we are human being and live together in a society.

Preparation

He has completed his preparations. After waiting for years and months, today he is ready to express his feelings. After so many internal struggles, he has gathered so much courage today. The ocean of feelings that surged in his heart today, he wants to squeeze it all out in front of her.

He is still not completely sure about his preparations, but now he cannot wait any longer. He has worked so much on his hesitations and uncertainties, now he just wants to get into a relationship with her. He is now ready to do anything for this relationship and does not want to leave any stone unturned.

When someone gives his heart with complete devotion then he can go to any extent. All his efforts are now encouraging him, the confidence he was striving for is now with him. But too much enthusiasm sometimes spoils the task. No, nothing negative will happen today, everything will be fine be positive.

Short name trend

What’s the story behind your nickname?

Even before the birth of the child, the parents cherish so many dreams, in the same process the name of the child is also discussed so many times, sometimes it is finalized and sometimes it remains pending.

In our country, after the birth of a child, a proper naming ceremony is performed, in which the child is named with religious worship and rituals. Many times a child’s horoscope is made and a name is given according to the planet and constellation.

My mother and cousin gave me the nickname “Rinku” immediately after I was born, it was a meaning less name. At that time the trend was to use short names, it could be spoken easily and fit everyone’s tongue. When I came home from the hospital, people started calling me by my name.

Balance

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

To live a successful life, it is very important to maintain a balance between personal and professional life. Work-life balance can improve your overall well-being, including physical, emotional, and mental health.

Focusing too much on work will harm your physical and mental health and you will remain mentally stressed even when there is no work. So achieving a healthy work-life balance can reduce stress, improve emotional states, and increase overall productivity.

Accepting the reality of life and being happy in it is a sign of a satisfied life. There is no need to run after too many materialistic things because true success is not just about climbing the career ladder but also about enjoying the journey and maintaining a healthy, happy life.

Social responsibility

What would you change about modern society?

Encouraging social responsibility towards human values and nature. We need sustainable development to restore natural resources as well as individual responsibility towards society, including participation in social activities and promoting kindness and empathy which will lead to a positive change.

Moving away from a focus on materialistic things and cultivate our inner consciousness towards a greater emphasis on well-being, relationships, and personal growth. This leads you towards inner peace and satisfaction.

Encouraging global peace and cooperation which increases happiness index of earth and overcome the hatred. Develop a societal mindset that values peace over conflict and fosters cooperation.

Comfort food

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Especially the comfort food which is available in the narrow lanes of the old city where I spent my childhood, its taste is the same even today as it was years ago. Neither did we have to go far away nor did it cost too much money but the taste was rich.

The most common comfort foods are typically homestyle foods, easy to prepare and readily accessible. I still remember the flavour of those street foods. If we ever get that taste in our new city, then nothing is better than that.

Eating comfort food with comfort is a dream because of work and health issues, but these foods provides emotional and physical comfort. Best comfort foods stimulate the brain’s reward system and make you feel good.

This rainy season

The rainy season have come again with new hopes, adding more happiness in the face of hard working farmers. A breeze of greenery is blowing on this earth.

New seeds have started sprouting, new saplings are being planted on barren lands. New enthusiasm is at its peak in this fascinating season.

The rain will always share a better story, but believe me tonight the sky has no sorrow to tell, no unknown tears to hide, no misfortune with emotions.

Tonight it’s all  about the one who worry, who always wants to be stay in touch with their loved one’s. The one who worry about losing the people whey love.
