HI EVERYONE!
     
SO THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE FEEL TOO STRESSED AND ALL WE NEED IS TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR LOVED ONES! IT CAN SERVE AS ALL THE MEDICINE WE NEED!IT FILLS US WITH OPTIMISM AND HELPS US STRIVE HARDER TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL!HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW I FELT BETTER AFTER SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH MY LOVED ONES!
SO AFTER A VERY LONG DAY AT WORK, I WAS ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED AND FED UP WITH THE EVERYDAY ROUTINE (LIKE MOST OF US!) WHAT WE OFTEN DONT UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE ARE NOT SPENDING ENOUGH, RATHER QUALITY TIME WITH OUR LOVED ONES. WE TEND TO GET SO CAUGHT INTO THE ROUTINE WEB, THAT WE DONT BOTHER TO FIGURE THE WAY OUT! SO MY MOTHER (SHE DOES KNOW BEST!) OBSERVED ME EVERYDAY AND ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY, WHEN I SEEMED OVERSTRESSED, SHE CAME AND TOLD ME, INFORM YOUR BOSS, YOU WONT BE GOING TO OFFICE TOMORROW. I HAVE PLANNED SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU!  WELL, INITIALLY I TOLD HER I WONT BE ABLE TO, BUT I MANAGED TO GATHER SOME COURAGE AND DID SO! NEXT DAY WE TOOK OFF FOR LONAVALA! MY FAMILY HAD PLANNED A SMALL PICNIC FOR ME! THEY KNOW ME BEST! ALL THE THINGS WERE IN PLACE, FROM FOOD TO TRAVEL! MY MOTHER HAD PACKED SOME OF MY FAVOURITE DISHES  FOR ME! WELL I WAS TOO EXCITED AND HAD PRETTY MUCH FORGOTTEN ABOUT ALL MY STRESS! FOR DINNER, WE ALL SAT AROUND A CAMP FIRE AND DECIDED TO PLAY A GAME IN WHICH EACH OF US HAS TO SPELL OUT ONE GOOD QUALITY ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON AND GIVE ONE ADVICE AT THE SAME TIME! WELL, THIS ACTIVITY WAS ALOT OF FUN! LOADS OF GOOD ADVICE POURED IN WHILE WE ENJOYED OUR FOOD! SOME OF THE GOOD ADVICE DIRECTED TOWARDS ME INCLUDED HOW TO MANAGE MY TIME, HOW TO MULTITASK CALMLY, AND HOW TO GET MY WORK SORTED. ESSENTIALLY,THEY STRESSED ON THE NEED FOR ME TO STAY BALANCED BETWEEN WORK AND LEISURE. THIS DISCUSSION WAS CARRIED OUT SOO SMOOTHLY, THAT I HARDLY EVEN REALISED THAT I WAS FACING MAJOR STRESS ISSUES SOME WHILE BACK! MY FAMILY ASSURED THAT I GOT A GOOD BREAK AS WELL AS GOOD ADVICE! BUT SOMETIMES, IT IS THE PEOPLE WITH WHOM WE SPEND OUR TIME WITH THAT MATTERS, RATHER THAN THE ADVICE! THEIR GOOD VIBES, THEIR POSITIVITY, THE WAY THEY UNDERSTAND US IS WHAT MAKES THEM PERFECT! SO TO SUM UP, I HAD AN AWESOME DAY, AND CAME BACK HOME TO NEW GOALS, BETTER DIRECTION TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS AND MORE POSITIVITY!  NEXT DAY ONWARDS I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN MY WORK, MORE MOTIVATED AND ALL PROBABLY, MY BOSS WAS HAPPY ABOUT THE FACT THAT I HAD TAKEN THAT MUCH NEEDED HOLIDAY TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH MY FAMILY WHICH MADE ME MORE EFFICIENT! WELL THE POWER OF #TOGETHERNESS IS ENOURMOUS! LETS SPREAD IT! GO ON; SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES, BE IT FRIENDS OR FAMILY! IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE OPTIMISTIC AND POSITIVE! 

LETS BE OPTIMISTIC!

WELL I LOVE BEING POSITIVE, AND EVERYTHING THAT IS OPTIMISTIC.WHEN ONE IS POSITIVE NOTHING IS DIFFICULT. IN FACT JUST A FEW DAYS AGO,I READ A BEAUTIFUL QUOTE THAT HAS CURRENTLY BECOME MY LIFE MANTRA. IT READ: AN ARROW CAN BE SHOT ONLY BY PULLING IT BACKWARD.SO WHEN LIFE IS DRAGGING YOU BACK WITH DIFFICULTIES,IT MEANS THAT IT IS GOING TO LAUNCH YOU INTO SOMETHING GREAT. SO JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND KEEP AIMING.
WELL, THEY SAY YOU SEE ONLY WHAT YOU WANT TO. WHEN YOU ARE POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC IN LIFE, YOU SEE POSITIVE IN EVERY SMALL THING, BE IT A PERSON WHO HELPS AN OLD PERSON WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD THAT REKINDLES THE HOPE OF HAVING A BETTER, RESPONSIBLE FUTURE GENERATION, TO AN ORDINARY MAN WHO WALKS ON THE ROAD,AND RESPONSIBLY PICKS UP A CHOCOLATE WRAPPER FROM THE STREETS AND PUTS IT IN THE BIN.
EVERYDAY, WE DO OUR ROUTINE WORK. SOME DAYS ARE GOOD, WHILE THE OTHERS BAD. BUT, DOES IT MEAN THAT WE STOP BEING HAPPY? DOES IT IMPLY THAT IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD? WHY CANT WE SEE THE GLASS BEING HALF FULL? SO, EVERYTIME I FEEL UPSET, ALL I TEND TO DO IS TRY AND SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME WITH FAMILY, APPRECIATE THE AMAZING FOOD MADE BY MY MOTHER, AND SEE THE SMILE ON HER FACE. IT TRULY, MAKES MY DAY. BUT THERE ARE VARIOUS STORIES THAT INSPIRE, THE STORIES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVENT STRUGGLED HALF AS MUCH, THE STORIES THAT REMIND YOU TO BE STRONGER TO MOVE AHEAD, TO NOT STOP. WELL, I COME ACROSS SUCH STORIES QUITE OFTEN, SOMETIMES EMBEDDED BEAUTIFULLY IN A BOOK, OR IN A MOVIE, OR SOMETIMES, WHEN I AM TOLD. BUT THE ONES THAT LEAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ARE THOSE WHICH WE EXPERIENCE. SO JUST A FEW DAYS BACK, I WAS TALKING TO MY SISTER GENERALLY. AS WE SPOKE, SHE SHARED THE EXPERIENCES OF HER DAY WITH ME. SHE SPOKE ABOUT THE THINGS SHE HAD DONE THROUGH THE DAY, AND A FEW EXPERIENCES AS WELL. AS WE SPOKE, SHE TOLD ME THE STORY OF ONE BOY IN HER CLASS. HE WAS FROM A SMALL TOWN IN RAJASTHAN, AND EVER SINCE HE WAS YOUNG, HE HAD BIG PLANS. BEING FROM A SMALL TOWN, HE HAD NO ACCESS TO A GOOD SCHOOL, SO HE COMPLETED HIS STUDIES BY HIMSELF.ONCE HE HAD GROWN UP, HE DECIDED THAT HE WANTED A GRADUATION DEGREE IN COMMERCE, AND SO DECIDED TO MOVE TO A BIGGER TOWN. HIS FAMILY HAD SUPPORTED HIM IN DOING SO. BUT, TO HIS UTTER DISGUST, MOST OF THE STUDENTS IN HIS COLLEGE WERE A TARGET OF RAGGING. SCARED AS HE WAS, HE DECIDED TO NOT GO TO COLLEGE AND STUDY BY HIMSELF. WELL, HE COMPLETED HIS GRADUATION TOO THIS WAY. THEN, HE DECIDED TO DO CHARTERED ACCOUNTANCY. IT WAS HIS DREAM, AND IT TRULY WAS. DREAMS MAKE YOU WORK TOWARDS THEM, COME WHAT MAY. WELL, HE COULD NOT CLEAR HIS PAPERS DUE TO LACK OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN THE SMALL TOWN, BUT HE DID NOT LEAVE HOPE. HE CONTINUED TO WORK TOWARDS HIS DREAM, AND ONE DAY,AFTER ALL HIS EFFORTS, HE FINALLY BECAME A CA. HE THEN CAME TO MUMBAI FOR A TRAINING COURSE(WHICH MY SISTER FOUND VERY BORING), BUT HE WAS VERY EXCITED TO DO IT, BECAUSE HE SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE WHAT A CLASSROOM LOOKS LIKE, WHAT CLASSMATES LOOK LIKE, WHAT TUTORS LOOK LIKE, AND I LOVE IT!
SO USED TO WE ARE TO FEW THINGS, THAT WE START TAKING THEM FOR GRANTED. SO WEAK SOMETIMES, THAT WE GIVE IN TO OURS FEARS. THIS STORY MOTIVATED ME AND REMINDED ME THAT BEING POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC IS ALWAYS FRUITFUL.SO LET US PLEDGE TO BE HAPPY AND POSITIVE AND SPREAD IT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

#MY FAMILY MY PRIDE!

AFTER A LONG,TIRING DAY, ALL WE NEED IS COME BACK HOME! BACK HOME TO MY MOTHER WHO HAS PREPARED SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ME SO THAT I FORGET ALL MY WORRIES, TO THAT DAD WHO WAITS FOR ME AT DINNER TABLE AND DOSENT FALL ASLEEP TILL I REACH HOME, TO THAT SISTER, WHO TREATS ME LIKE HER LITTLE BABY, PAMPERING ME ALL AWAY!
THEY GIVE US SMALL LITTLE PLEASURES THAT MAKE OUR DAY! THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ENSURE WE ARE OKAY. THEY TEACH US HOW TO BEHAVE,THEY DISCIPLINE US, WELL IN SHORT, THEY TEACH US HOW TO LIVE! AS EACH AND EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE CONTRIBUTES TO WHO I AM TODAY(MY LITTLE PET INCLUDED) IT BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR ME TO PICK ONE MEMBER, WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED MAXIMUM TOWARDS IT! BUT WELL IF I AM SCARED, IF I AM SUPER EXCITED, IF I HAVE A BAD DAY, OR IF I HAVE A GOOD DAY, I JUST SPELL OUT ONE THING! MOM. MY WEARY EYES SEARCH FOR HER AFTER A LONG DAY, I WANT HER TO GREET ME GOOD MORNING FIRST, EACH DAY, I WANT TO EAT THE FOOD PREPARED BY HER AFTER EVEN TWO CONTINUOUS DAYS OF EATING OUT! SO SHE IS THE ONE WHO ONCE TOLD ME, GO, GET UP, DO WHAT YOU ARE MEANT TO, DONT STOP, WE ARE ALL MEANT TO BE SOMETHING! SO LETS US WORK TOWARDS IT!
SHE IS SO POSITIVE, SPREADING HER GOOD VIBES IN THE WHOLE FAMILY!SO, EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE, SHE TOUGHT ME TO OVERCOME MY FEARS. I WAS SCARED, SCARED OF EXPERIMENTING! SHE TOUGHT ME SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN LIFE. SHE TOLD ME, BE DIFFERENT, DONT FOLLOW THE HERD. SHE WAS THE LAST ONE TO ASK ME WHY MY TEACHER GAVE ME A REMARK IN CLASS, OR WHY HAD NOT I COMPLETED MY HOMEWORK IN TIME. SO ONCE I ASKED HER, WHY DONT YOU EVER ASK ME WHETHER I HAVE FINISHED STUDYING OR COMPLETED MY HOMEWORK LIKE OTHER PARENTS DO?, TO THIS SHE FLASHED A SMILE AND REPLIED, BECAUSE MY DARLING, I TRUST YOU. I TRUST THAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE IT. I HAVE TRAINED YOU THAT WAY EVER SINCE.
WELL, WHENEVER I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS BEFORE MY PAPERS, OR BEFORE DANCE COMPETITIONS, ALL I DO IS RECOLLECT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE, AND HER POSITIVE SAYINGS. SHE ALLOWED ME TO PRACTICE ALL HOBBIES I WANTED TO-FROM DANCE, TO SKATING, TO DRAWING, AND EVEN POTTERY! (YOU SEE, MY HOBBIES ARE NEVER CONSTANT!:P)WHEN ALL CHILDREN WENT FOR TUITIONS AND I NEVER WANTED TO, SHE ENCOURAGED ME TO STUDY ON MY OWN, INFACT SHE WAS ELATED TO LET ME DO SO! SHE TOLD ME TO DO AND PRACTICE WHAT I LOVE TO,NOT WHAT SOCIETY WANTS ME TO DO! ALL I LOOK FOR IS HER COSY LAP AND MELODIOUS VOICE AFTER A LONG DAY! SHE IS A FRIEND, GUIDE AND, MY INSPIRATION. AS WOMEN'S DAY APPROACHES, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THIS AMAZING LADY, WHO HAS MADE ME A TOWER, FROM THE BRICKS I WAS.THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ME TOGETHER.
