What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

“I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?

Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away.”

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Promise because there is a famous quote “promises are meant to be broken”. This is a complex and multifaceted concept that raises important questions about human nature, morality, and the nature of commitments.

Specially those promise in which only two person are witness. They are most beautiful for that instant but after sometime one person became philosopher and make turns with clause and conditions. Now a days people make public announcement and take u-turn.

This shows the complexities of human behaviour in their relationships. it’s essential to remember that promises are not meant to be broken lightly. People must work on strengthening a culture of trust, accountability, and integrity.

What is your favorite drink?

Lassi is a yogurt based beverage, it is most popular and traditional drink of India. Lassi is prepared by blending curd, sugar/salt, ice and spices.

However, variations of lassi can be prepared in different ways and flavours. Cumin and cardamom are the most common spices added to lassi.
