To that someone in you!

Hey people,
 Well, before you bump on into the car of curiosities, let me tell you that the someone within you, each of you, is you. Okay I am not planning on a session on tongue twisters :). What I want to convey through this tale is a simple concept, the concept of pleasing yourself,loving yourself, patting yourself and most importantly taking care of the 'you' in yourself.


                                      All of us have a heart, which from a philosopher's and a biologist's point of view is a fist's size. But it has the power of withstanding all that you dump in it, where the capacity may exceed even the amount of air in 100 balloons. In fact the you, who the world sees, is the personification of your heart. So the real you  lies in your heart. Well if it is important to take care of yourself externally, isn't it important to take care of the inner you? In fact the inner you is the most stupid of all. It gives room for all the worries, fears , anxieties and above all only remainder of its space to the most essential ones being hope, love ,care, faith and trust. But heart doesn't know to prioritize things because being your heart, it thinks that all you put in it is important. In this way , the more you keep sending your stressful things, the more the inner you turns fragile and weak. And finally, you being the personification of it , are affected. This turns you into a gloomy, dull and fearful person, making you lose the best moments of your life. So spending quality time in taking care of the inner you becomes the call of the moment.

                                     The healing for this lies just in your hands and more specifically in your mindset. It is known that fear, worries and pains form an integral part of life and they are indispensable. But if we try to solve our day to day issues, and dealing even the biggest problems smoothly, they tend to gradually lessen and hence the amount of dumping into the inner you decreases. Now if you start filling the emptied space with more positive attitudes, love, happiness and cheerfulness,I am sure that your heart can hold even more than the amount with which it survived earlier because it's the lightest of lightest feelings that you are filling.Try to calm yourself  by giving hopes to your heart at painful moments, by consoling your heart at bad times, by thanking your heart at happy times, and by patting the inner you at proud moments. Remember, the inner you is more fragile than a new-born. So giving it proper care is very essential . So, when the inner you is taken care of, isn't it enough for you to stay happy and young ever?.

Practice the portmanteau -Selfidence

Well for those avid dictionary users, before you get into conclusions, let me tell you that this word 'Selfidence' is my own creation. Probably it has emerged due to my liking for the portmanteaus.

                                               But yeah, this article concerns more about the thought delivered by the coined term, and not about the portmanteau!. When recalling our High School days, where we were exposed to the so called blended words called portmanteau words, considering the most standard and common example our teachers taught us "smoke+fog=smog", the word "Selfidence" is  no hard to guess. Yes, It is the blending of two most important priceless words, "Self" and "Confidence".

All of us know that we lack this self confidence , many a time in our life. But it is ironical that we have started losing the "self", meaning oneself and also confidence at present and thereby adjourning the entire word .

                                                Now what is this self confidence? How will it be useful in life?I know  these questions seem so familiar and rekindling as I am sure all of us would have  had our doze of advice on these things, when we were young. Considering the former, let me give you an instance which describes this self-confidence. You are put to test, with some biggest and the toughest task. Your brain, thinking that it's being more systematic and diplomatic, comes to a blind conclusion that this job is not apt for you, and you cannot yield the result. But this heart of yours, trying to give counter to this impetuous brain, irks you. Somewhere deep down your heart, you will fell that you can do it, and if not you who will do it. As a forest fire, this tiny feeling starts spreading and finally recharges your thinking, giving you that confidence to take up things boldly. Yes. This is what is self confidence. To put it in simple terms, it is the simplest, no-cost tool that makes you believe that you are worth it, to do anything and  end it in success.Even if you feel that your life is improving its shades of balefulness and fear starting to behave as a poltergeist , stealing your inner peace and calm mind ,don't panic. This self confidence can make you wake up from the bed of sorrows, fear , doubts, stress and your nadirs. It makes you more happy and proud of yourself , giving you a cheerful smile and stress free feeling. Isn't that the most important part of life?. If not you, who will make up your life? Who can live it for you? Who can face your hardships? Who can achieve laurels?So gear up your Selfidence and walk the happiest path of your life. We are tuned to memorize formulas! If it's easy to learn up your differential equations and page-long formulae and derivations in minutes, I hope "Self+Confidence=Selfidence" won't take you seconds .:)

The Recipe of Life

Hey people. Today lets learn something new. A new??The common  bond that unites all of us is food. Both living and eating contemplates each other. Ironically, many don't know cooking. And few presume that the process of cooking is complicated and is something rare (though they think eating is common). With Diwali round the corner, all of us will surely have reminiscences of hankering after the mouthwatering traditionally made sweets and savories at home. That sweet tooth of ours becomes tangible only at times like this, when we spend the day leisurely, indulging in our favorite picks.

2-3 table spoons of powdered anxieties and sorrows( make sure you crush them well..Otherwise the taste of the recipe will differ)
1 tin of sweetened and pleasing words and actions 
Few packets of desires , hopes and wishes for roasting
For garnishing:
Few tea spoons of smiles

The more you crush them, the better they will mix in the batter of happiness and love, and thereby goes unseen. But if you do not powder them well, then they might be seen as particles in your dish, thereby altering its taste and sometimes , over ruling the happiness and love, and giving your life's dish the bitter taste.
-> Add the tin of sweetened and pleasing words and actions to the above prepared mixture . This need not be restricted to one but can be added depending on the requirement of the individual. This improves the taste of your dish and makes it more appetizing.

Do small dozes of happiness exist?

Well to those people out there, who grumble due to dissatisfaction and and are not sated with their day's activities and life largely, here, this article is a must read for you. (At times, I am included in this category though. And I solely take the contents of this article ,if in case my memory becomes short term, forgetting these pieces of advises..).
                                       Its human tendency to expect. Expectation forms the greatest idiosyncrasy ( each of us think that way though) of each individual. That too in terms of happiness, all of us want it so desperately that if we don't achieve it, it becomes the biggest desiderium. It's not wrong to long for happiness as it makes us more pleased and satisfied.However the wrong part is to feel depressed and bad when we don't achieve it. What is the solution to this problem?.
                                       From an engineer's point of view ( Yes..I am one), it is always expected to know the cause of the problem before jumping into the stage of finding the solution. This problem of dissatisfaction occurs because we always look out for happiness in a large scale. We always estimate that happiness is something that should please us in a more larger way and have its impact wide spread. That is the reason for us to get disappointed at the end of the day ,when according to us ,all the activities of the day turned out badly. Now coming into the solution part, my opinion is that this problem can be solved if we come to understand the point that happiness comes in smaller dozes. The cliched saying goes " Great things come in small packages". Consider happiness to be a great thing that can experienced in a small scale but yeah leaving a much more cloyed feeling .
                                   Putting it in simple words, develop the mentality to smile and feel happy for little things, say , for the little cup of coffee that you share with your buddy, for the free time (say even few minutes )that you spend in the college / at work sharing your gossips and funny thoughts with your friends, for walking or strolling in the garden with the nature at its best, for the small tests that you perform well, for the hobbies that you carry out , for the time that you spend with your pet , for the time you listen to your favorite music etc. These things could be small, sometimes could even be funny to hear.But the impact of such small things is surely higher. Another saying goes
" Small drops make a big ocean". In the same way these small instances of happiness, make the moments cherishable and splendid. So even when you think that you are displeased at the end of the day, being vexed and unhappy, just close your eyes for a moment and recollect all the happy moments that you experienced that day( could be the ones that are mentioned above or any other experiences). These moments together gives a huge feeling of happiness and though if you think it can never equate for the bad experiences of the day, I am sure that it can at least lessen the burden of your day making you build up  good hopes . 
                                                  
                                     So always don't consider happiness to come to you like a 1000 waala, used in Diwali, giving you one shot bliss. But give rooms for small packages or dozes of happiness , like a small flower pot, which when kindled, gives a colourful wide spread light thereby delighting us . So do you still have doubts that small dozes of happiness exist??Well then, try out the above and find the difference i.e the solution for yourself.

Funny Outcomes of Technological Outbursts :D

                                                                                                

              

Hey all, Well I am back with yet another simple tale :)...This time lets take it more deep into the changing world. Living in a life filled with activities, we see that we cannot carry out these activities without the help of the modern advancements. Technological outbursts surely signify the upliftment of the society, and we still are awaiting the advent of even more outbursts.Well, taking current technological advancements into consideration, I solely take my work ,as to show to some funny outcomes of such technological outbursts .(I am very sure that all of us know atleast few of them.)This is not to put down the advancements,but it shows how the latest trend in the technology is spread rapidly among the folks. 
(The first image is before and the next is after the advancements)

** Okay, I am sure that all of us would have made a visit to our neighbour's or relative's house where the cute little kids play around . If you call one of kiddos and ask them 
( Considering that they are all around 4-5 years) " Dear,  What did they teach you in school". I am sure that every kid will start off with "A for Apple..B for Ball..etc.".The apple there means the fruit.Well now the kids have a different meaning of apple to tell us.So were we taught wrongly??Too late to repent.
                                 
** It is normal for us to see beggars who roam on the roads to earn their living. They thrive on the money offered by the people. Well gone are the times where the beggars are considered poor.So, you don't believe me??? Huh,take a look then

                                                                                

   **Okay going on to the next. We have reminiscences of attending  family engagements. Something or someone missing in an engagement can be common, be it any relative or any auspicious article. Can the bride and groom be missing??? Well our "new termed matchmaker" Skype has brought them together while their family is engrossed in performing the rituals of an engagement.New ?

                                                                           

**Now not to leave this one, its common for the tinytots to make a miss on eating the greens and other vegetables and fruits. On such incidents,the mothers usually face a tough time to make them eat atleast a bit. Lets take an example of a fruit like banana which most of the children hate.Well mothers I think you need to get to know the knack of making the child eat.And yeah children respond to the earphones better ;so mothers do you hear???
         

** Okay its a known fact that the mobile phones were invented for communication purposes.So what is this communication??People in far and different places talk and make contact with other people using these instruments.Later came an instant messaging service , an application in these phones.Taking a place like an office as instance,it is okay for a person in one block or floor to text to the other person.But is it so for the people sharing the same cabin or same place, very close to each other?? That's the scenario now.Well they could just do it by conversing.Come on the phones are for information transfer and not for muting your conversation.
          
The above instances are just few funny outcomes of technological advancements.Its not wrong in its way as the world adapts to the changing inventions. So at this pace, if we have few such funny outcomes, lets hope some more for the near and far future
