Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships.

For a self-respecting person, accepting a favor is in itself a humiliating experience. The situation becomes even worse if the person doing the favor displays arrogance in their behavior.

If you wish to do me a favor, go ahead; but do not ask me to sacrifice my self-respect for it. It is better to forgo the favor altogether than to lose one’s self-respect.

Doing a favor for someone is an art, the art of doing it in such a way that the recipient does not even realize it. Maintaining a relationship essentially means engaging in an exchange, whether it involves material things or emotions.

If you want to keep relationships healthy and long-lasting, boundaries are essential. Healthy boundaries are the limits and rules you set to protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Which promote mutual respect, prevent resentment, and encourage autonomy. Instead of building walls, clear boundaries provide a safe framework that allows both partners or individuals to thrive.

What’s your favorite meme?

A smile, laughter, or just a giggle changes the whole environment around you. When a person stays happy, their immunity increases, and they have more chances of remaining healthy.

Sometimes, when you laugh openly, it feels as though years of despair have suddenly vanished. It dissolves sorrow like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds.

For the same reason, laughter can be said to be the best medicine a doctor can ever prescribe. Laughter can be a quiet revolution against despair, a reminder that hope still lives within us.

What’s a cultural tradition from another country that you wish existed in yours?

Cultures across countries differ dramatically because geography and climate shape food, clothing, rituals, and even social norms. Desert, coastal, mountain, and plain societies all evolve distinct traditions, showing how environment molds identity. So it’s hard to adopt an rituals or a tradition from a different place.

But in today’s world of globalisation we have some common corporate culture everywhere so this tradition called “Fika” is a beautiful Swedish tradition that goes far beyond just having coffee.

It’s about pausing in the day to share a warm drink, often with something sweet like cinnamon buns or cookies, and most importantly enjoying conversation and connection. In Sweden, it’s considered almost essential to daily life, a ritual of slowing down and appreciating the moment.

It’s not just a coffee break; it’s a philosophy of balance, hospitality, and mindfulness. Many workplaces in Sweden even build fika into their schedules, recognizing that these pauses foster creativity, community, and well-being.

What are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country?

Dear friends, welcome to our land. Here, every step you take carries the fragrance of history, the warmth of culture, and the spirit of unity among lots of diversity.

We believe in the ancient saying, ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’  the guest is like God. May your journey here be filled with joy, discovery, and friendship.

This is place where love and brotherhood shine in glory. You are not just guests, but part of our home, may your journey here be filled with peace and joy. So, don’t delay travel soon.

What’s a song that always puts you in a good mood?

Sia’s “Cheap thrills” The song is about enjoying simple pleasures: “I don’t need no money, I don’t need no fame, I just need a cold drink and a friend”.

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram” is one of India’s most beloved and timeless devotional songs (bhajan) dedicated to Lord Rama and Sita.

This song become latest favourite since two days “Bahoni” means guest or someone to leave. This poetry is written by poet Amir Khusro 700 years ago describing the feeling of a bride leaving her parental home.

What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it?

When a person acts good out of fear of some visible or invisible power, that goodness is not their true nature. Rather, the greed within him is compelling him to be good, because he hope to receive a reward for doing so.

The best way to overcome fear is through gently pushing yourself to do things that take you a little way out of your comfort zone, gradually increasing exposure until you can tolerate uncomfortable emotions.

At first, fear arises from mystery and uncertainty. But once the mind turns inward, studies, and observes deeply, the unseen becomes understood and fear transforms into calm insight. Gita and the Upanishads place fearlessness at the very foundation of spiritual life. Without overcoming fear, one cannot act in true freedom.

मेरा हिंदुस्तान

पवित्र धरा शौर्य गाथा महान
सभ्यता संस्कृति की अमिट पहचान
उत्तर हिमालय दक्षिण सागर  विशाल
बीच पठार रेगिस्तान और गंगा की धार

विचार अभिव्यक्ति और विस्वास
सत्य अहिंसा और करुणा का संचार
विविधता सम्पन्न यह भुमि अनमोल
एकता अखंडता की ये मिसाल

गूंजे शंख घंट कही पे आजान
बाइबिल गुरूग्रंथ गीता का ज्ञान
शांति का दीपक और प्रेम का विस्तार
मानवता के पथ पर रहे नित्य अग्रसर

ज्ञान-विज्ञान से चमके युवा अरमान
इसपर रहे समस्त संसार के उत्कर्ष का भार
दुनिया भर की ये आन बान शान
शाश्वत भूखंड ये है मेरा हिन्दुस्तान।
मेरा हिन्दुस्तान। मेरा हिन्दुस्तान।

Share a proverb you think is completely wrong and make your case.

Hard work is the sole predictor of success is a myth. Even a fool can achieve success if the circumstances allow. A scientist may struggle with a puzzle all his life but still find it unsolvable. But he knows that he has laid a foundation that will prove helpful to anyone who solves it.

Another scientist succeeds with just a little effort and gets the entire credit. It’s not shameful to be willing to try again because you’ve tried and gained experience. The test of being a genius isn’t success, because success may be a stroke of luck and not the result of your own efforts.

Nowadays, we see children preparing for competitive exams become frustrated when they fail. Because the parameter for success is hard work, it often leads to depression. Whether a person achieves success or failure, he must feel a sense of satisfaction in the struggle he has undertaken.

What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness?

Theory of relativity become realistic and time travel becomes so advanced that humanity chooses to spread across time itself not just space making Earth a holy memory rather than a home.

This is the future where time becomes a doorway, not a wall. Where humanity doesn’t just survive it thrives across infinite possibilities, choosing planets that match our deepest dreams for safety, beauty, and convenience.

A world where time machines aren’t just portals through years, but gateways to entire planets across time and space. Where natural resources will be fully exploited by humans but science will continue to more advance. New opportunities will open up for humanity with new experiences.

When nature reclaims everything forests grow through cities, rivers flow clean, wildlife returns to abundance. The planet rests Earth, freed from millions of years of human activity, becomes a sanctuary for new life forms.

Where human chose to become a multi-planetary, multi-temporal species. Earth gave us life. Now we give life to the universe across time.

Do you believe in minimalism?

Those who take interest in reading-writing, whether they are students or professionals, all believe in minimalism. Because students don’t have money, and those in this profession aren’t very wealthy so they prefer a simple life there is no doubt about that.
