What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Spirituality and personal faith are secret elixirs in your life. Faith allows us to find inner peace, accept life as it is and come to terms with the disparity between expectation and reality.
Finding ways to reduce our anxiety and stress levels can extend our lifespan. Having strong emotional ties with friends and family protects us from isolation, depression and even mental illness.
For human beings, love and intimacy are as essential as food and water. Spend more time cultivating connections with surrounding people like our parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, friends, coworkers and neighbors.
Simple habits like some regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, and keeping surrounding a happy environment. When you have a satisfaction with what you have, it leads to a peace. We must have a list of all the things we love that don’t require or involve money.

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
As a human being we have a large memory bank in our brain so the state of mind that prioritizes consciousness and awareness, especially of one’s feelings. People spend lots of time in think about the past and future in daily life is a feature of mental time travel.
Remembering past experiences is undoubtedly important for normal functioning as it allows us to learn from our experiences and to develop a temporally stable sense of self consciousness. But when recalling specific life events again and again that results depression, anxiety, fear etc.
Plan future events and to engage in important decision-making processes that influence our future lives. Thinking about the future may be the most beneficial to life and work outcomes but only thinking about the present as needed to enact one’s future plans.
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
After a long time we planned to organise a outdoor game to play. We choose cricket to play because it is safe to say that cricket is not merely a sport but an emotion in our India. It makes people come together for good. It also strengthens our relationship with other countries and maintains the sportsman spirit.
Despite Hockey being the national sport of the India, it is cricket which rules over the hearts of the citizens. It creates a lot of excitement and frenzy amongst the fans of the game.
Cricket is like a religion in India and the players are considered to be demi-gods. It is the most-watched sport in India and people even miss their schools and offices when any major international match is happening.
“Dev Foundation” organise a “Youth Welfare Primium League” cricket match series. Mainly competition is between two teams “Pitch Pirates” and ” Boundary Hunter’s”. Both teams give their best to game. Finally Boundary hunter’s steal the moment and became the winner.
It is very hard to manage time for a outdoor sports in our daily life between the pressure of work. That’s why we planned it in a systematic manner in form of a championship. Everyone’s participation makes this event a memory.

What relationships have a positive impact on you?
We are social creatures and nearly everyone have strong bonding of family structures, we rely on the emotional support of our friends. We have a society where we spend much of our lives collaborating with other people to achieve larger goals.
Positive relationships with our family members, friends, coworkers, and peers all support a healthy mind and foster a strong sense of well-being.
When people engage in a relationship selflessly then there is compromise between two and this kind of relationship flourishes. If you seriously dedicated to this kind of relationship this will increase your confidence, co-ordination, happiness, strengthen bonding and provide stability in the life.
This kind of relationship work when there is mutual need, respect, understanding, have no any hidden agenda. When there is purity in a relationship it feels comfortable and it opens the door of happiness.
A selfless worship of God will really connect you with that ultimate truth, which makes you a pure soul. This can be cultivated through acts of service, generosity, and humility.
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
The 21st century is called the digital era. Everyone is entertained and busy with technology. In the meantime, we forget the importance of sports and specially outdoor sports.
Outdoor sports develop good physical fitness, agility, strength and stamina. They are also beneficial for your mental health as they provide enjoyment, confidence, self-esteem, and well-being. They reduce your stress, anxiety, pain, and depression.
We “Dev Foundation” organise different outdoor sports activities in a definite interval of time. Recently we organise a “Youth welfare Primium League” a cricket match series on Christmas day. Through these kind of activities we inspire and encourage youth to manage their time for outdoor sports activities.
How have your political views changed over time?
Dr Manmohan Singh served as the 13th Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, succeeding Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His tenure is particularly remembered for his steady leadership during economic crises and his contributions to modernizing India’s economy.
Dr Manmohan Singh as Finance Minister 1991 to 1996, who took India out of the crisis and also led the country towards economic prosperity and stability. The nation today reaps the benefits of the robust economic foundations he built.
His erudition on economic and fiscal matters comes from his vast experience as Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India and various other capacities in several organizations.
His wise counsel, leadership and contribution in mitigating the global economic financial crisis is well acknowledged. As I recall, President Obama during his tenure as President of the US mentioned Dr. Singh and remarked that
“Whenever the Indian Prime Minister speaks, the whole world listens to him”
There are two main political ideologies in India, Dr Manmohan Singh tenure of politics forced me now a days to support Indian National Congress which is the oldest political party of India their ideology is focused on Liberalism, Social democracy, Secularism V/s BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) which is aligned with right wing politics, ideology of nationalism and Hindutva.
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?
Just like my physical health concern where i have to decide whether I am are losing weight or gaining muscle, same as for my mental health I need to start aligning my reading/writing habits to meet those goals.
Because every day of life are not same to maintain the balance between ups and downs I literally use my reading and writing skills to be happy. It’s very hard to manage time between a busy schedule of work. But for mental well being and satisfaction soul automatically force to adjust time for reading and writing.
When we start reading, our mind starts building visuals and we start thinking that results in making a consept or idea related to that. But in this process huge amount of vocabulary is needed. As a learner sometimes I have to use dictionaries or take a help of google.
Same thing in the process of writings, I wrote minimum four to five drafts of this piece before I felt comfortable to send it to my blog. Sometimes more drafts before I satisfied with my work. Because it’s a kind communication, what you want to deliver, the reader next side will getting the same.
Who are the biggest influences in your life?
Every human being have a deep impact of a religion in their life. Religion can influence the culture of an entire community, nation, or region of the world. Different Belief system that are widely accepted become part of our culture and in many ways, shape that society where we live in.
Every religion have some thematic principles that make them similar to one another, namely concepts of god and love, honesty, altruism, miracle workings and peacekeeping. However, every religion has elements and ideologies that set them apart from the other.
The concept of karma and reincarnation in Hinduism, heaven-hell and salvation in Christianity, paradise and hell in Islamism, peaceful afterlife and reincarnation in indigenous Chinese folk religions, and release from the cycle of reincarnations and reaching enlightenment in Buddhism.
The benefits of following religion (dharma) include the development of positive thinking, good discipline, and ethical values. Mental stability and outlook will improve, and humanism will grow. As I grow in the shadow of Hinduism and it reflects in me.
