Life is too short,Read quickly !

18 Comments

For Long reads usually I mention approximate time taken for reading the post. It’s up to the readers to decide whether to read or not depending upon their available time. I am also thankful for the appreciation and comments I get from the readers. Majority of my readers are kind and encouraging and many help me get that extra knowledge through their discussions. And I am proud to say that many solved my question series puzzle and gave clarity to my thoughts. I am grateful. But some times I get ‘likes’….next second of my publishing the post,though the post requires minimum 2 to 3 minutes to read. This makes me confused.I start wondering. 1.What do you think the purpose of these kinds of ‘Likes’ ? 2.What is that one can achieve ? 3.Is this a clever strategy ? 4.Or it’s convenient ? Thank you in advance. Philosophy Through Photography

Shhh…I’m hiding from the stupid people

6 Comments

  It is an adult version of ‘Peek-a-boo’ The philosophy,what I think is,hiding is a kind of tension where the child is wondering whether  he may be found at all and then once he is found by parents or friends…then it results in excitement  and thus the combination of tension and excitement bring in thrill and  feeling of achievement by both the players.

When it comes to advice,I’m a Giver

8 Comments

We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain. William R Alger quotes The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone’s advice. Eddie Murphy Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. Erica Jong No one can give you better advice than yourself.  Marcus Tullius Cicero Don’t offer me advice; give me money. Spanish Proverb Never give advice in a crowd.  Pope Paul VI If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, ‘I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me. Ann Landers At the end ………….                                                                                                                                          Thanking you Philosophy Through Photography   Credits-Title quote-unknown,pixabay.

Addiction

Love is not complicated, people are

6 Comments

  How individual lives are changing ,relationships are thrown into the dust bin,people forgetting the meaning and value & sacredness of ‘LOVE’, Thanks to addiction to social media & smart phones ! Relationships are harder now! “Conversations became texting, Arguments became phone calls, Feelings became subliminal messages, Sex became easy, The word ‘love’ is used out of context., Insecurities became a way of thinking, Getting jealous became a habit, Trust is hard to come by, Being hurt became natural. Leaving became the only option, Sad but true, So if you have something…that is worth it,..don’t take it for granted, Fight for it,don’t let it go”       pinterest Summary – Be selfish,thanks to the inventions. indulge in your liking,Drink till you drop dead,fight without any reason,Ego is your life,jealousy is your partner, Greedy is your nature,Killing innocents is your taste,care not anybody,you owe the happiness you deserve,forget about dieting & exercises which are all money-making machines,,cheating is your mantra,money is everything and enjoy dying your own death,you owe nothing to anybody! Is this the lesson modern-day life style teaching us ? Is this the meaning of advancement in human life ? Is this what all about relationships ? And what about ethics,values,respect,responsibilities ,family relationship ? Please share your thoughts. Thank you. Philosophy Through Photography IS Pixabay

Are you the ‘Difficult Spouse’ ?

10 Comments

  It’s 5.4 minute read. If you are a wife or husband and on many occasions you think you are disappointed because of the other…..and think the other is the ‘difficult spouse’…. then this article is for you. I am thankful to you if you felt there is something wrong in either of the parties and the mistake can be rectified easily. There are two types of marriages.( Marriages are made in heaven.Is itn’t ?) 1.Love marriage 2.Arranged marriage ( In most of the eastern countries ) Irrespective of the type of marriage,both the man and the woman of his love have to adjust with each other in order to be compatible. In fact, post marriage life is full of challenges and it exposes the couple to myriads of issues. But we all know the truth. One day or other both the man & the woman have to face unpleasant situation of opposing & different opinions and views, in matters of their day-to-day ‘living together’ The reality of the so-called colorful future has to show its fangs,since it is waiting to strike first ! Once the misunderstanding happens and prolongs….There are two options available You decided you are not going to adjust at all…then Apply for divorce and probably matter can come to end to the mutual satisfaction,and thus ending the very discussion I am trying to make. If the above choice is not the option due to so many […]

Sweet Melody of Friendship

7 Comments

Friendship Day Friendship day is dedicated to the bond of friendship Friendship surely enriches one’s life. The day is to honour and celebrate Friendship. This is the great time to let your friends know how much the mean to you. Poems are best way to describe deep relationships. It’s perfect way of expressing the feelings There are many things, we cannot share with our other relations in Life. And God gave us the true friends to lean on in these circumstances Here we are dedicating this poem for the cause of True Friendship. First time collaborating with Mermaid and Anamika. Hope everyone enjoys the true spirit of Friendship… PTP : Friendship is a bond of unspoken matter, Sharing  tears and laughter, You bring sense of humour, Keeps my mood a zoomer. Anamika : When life’s troubles came calling, And when my spirit’s kept on falling, When I wished for a shoulder to lean on, You came out of the blue with arms open. PTP : You are my white house, When I am lost in storm house, You are just a ping away, In my hours of May day. Mermaid : Are you the  one I was looking for Who can give me the life to live, I kept my doors open in search of someone, Who can touch my inner soul. Wandering here and there I found a person after a long time, Who stretched the  arms for me and […]

Why You feel God never answers your prayers ?

Leave a Comment

Recently one of my friends got depressed and expressed that,the Prayers are not being answered.This made me think about Gods way of looking after His creations. You are a strong believer in God. And you know His Unlimited Powers you have not just one but many wishes to be fulfilled and you go on praying Him. You are disappointed that not all your wishes are granted ! But why ? Isaac Breece beautifully puts it while explaining, “It’s not that God didn’t answer your prayer,it’s that you did not get the response you wanted.”  Isaac Breece As a believer in God ,I know that prayers never go unnoticed or unheard by the Almighty. God gives answers in three ways. 1.He says ‘YES’ and gives you what you want. 2.He says ‘NO’  but still gives you some thing Better. 3.He says ‘WAIT’ and gives you the Best . So leave it to God and He knows when to answer your prayers Remember the ways of God are unexplained. His ways are mysterious. His blessings are miraculous. Have patience.

“You can not change how others treat you.( sometimes they won’t be so loving ).But you can change how you react to it all.( Be sure how you respond in a way which shows love for yourself-and don’t beat yourself upover how they are beating upon you ). Be good to yourself -even when others aren’t.( Especially when others aren’t)” Karen Salmansohn “Your life is a reflection of the choices you make.Even events you don’t control reflect your choice in how you respond.If you want to improve your life,improve how you make choices.Try to mindfully make decisions which are inspired by open-mindedness,high integrity,and long-term thinking.”    Karen Salmansohn “Be a gift to everyone who enters your life.Be careful not to enter another’s life if you can not be a gift.You always are the gift-Yet sometimes you don’t let yourself know that .When some one enters your life unexpectedly,look for the gift that person brings.”  Neal Donald Walsch “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it.”  Maya Angelou.

“Eat your food like your medicines or else you will eat your medicines like food”.

4 Comments

  When diet is wrong,Medicine is of no use .When Diet is correct, there is no need of Medicine. Ayurveda Proverb But sadly, many times we love to over eat, eat wrong food,and express lack of time for daily exercises. Many other  excuses are readily available. Some of my friends who are diabetic,regularly eat sweets ( which is forbidden),and they come up with statements saying that their sugar is under control since they take their diabetic medicines regularly ,as if the diabetic medicines give them the license to over eat the sweets. Some other friends with Hypertension ( High blood Pressure ) eat food rich in salt, like pickles,salt laced chips etc.( salt is restricted for hypertensive patients). They happily tell me that they are care free since medicines they take to control the BP, will also take care of their salt in the food. What is your type ? Do You eat food and medicine also like my friends ? If you ask me, yes,I find many times difficult to resist the food,over eat some times and take pancreatic enzyme tablets for better digestion,whenever I felt I overindulged. What are your thoughts on this subject ? Thank you Philosophy Through Photography

“If the problem can be solved why worry?  If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.”  Santideva. Why you think there is a constant pressure on your life ? Is it possible to let the steam out and lead a better  peaceful and contended  life ? What are all the ways you think you are getting pressure even on your routine day-to-day life ? Let us discuss. Family pressure You want to do something you like but the family members advising you otherwise.You have two choices,either go ahead and do what you wanted to do or listen to your family. The emotional tactic adopted by family members is crucial in influencing your thoughts. Solution– Since you are grown up ,you can take your own well-meant decisions. I feel emotional pressure by the family members is a kind of  ‘blackmail’. Social pressure It is defined as the influence that is exerted on a person or groups.It can be argument,persuasion and conformity and demands. Solution- Develop self confidence and mingle with people who accept you as you are.  ( Like minded ) Peer Pressure Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers, or the effect on an individual who gets encouraged to follow their peers by changing their attitudes, values or behaviors to conform to those of the influencing group or individual.
