Life is a thing of many stages and moving parts,
What we do with ease at one time of life we can hardly manage at another.
What we could not fathom doing when we were young,we find great joy in when we are old.
Like the season through which we move,life itself is a never-ending series of harvests,a different fruit for every time.

Be thankful,
For if we did not learn a lot to-day,
At least we learned a little,
And if we did not learn a little,
At least we did not get sick,
And if we got sick,
At least we didn’t die,
So be thankful.

What is International Day of Happiness ?
It’s a day to be happy, of course!
Of course ,as humans we try our level best to be happy through out our lives.
But have we at any time remember somebody,who keep us happy most of the times?
Do we even make an attempt to recognize such people ? The moment your happiness is over…you tend to forget those responsible for your happiness !
I am fortunate that there is somebody who makes me happy,smile & laugh and I recognize this fact and I am thankful to this person .Of course these things can’t happen without Almighty’s blessings.
Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated the International Day of Happiness as a way to recognize the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world.
The United Nations invites each person of any age,plus every classroom,business and government to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness
Suppose no body is there for you to achieve happiness…what would you do ?
The formula is simple !!

Toughest job on Earth
What is the toughest job on earth ?
Guess and tell me.
I am sure you can not.
Googling gives you billion answers in nanosecond !
Nothing to compare as to what I am going to tell !!!
If you are eager to know , just answer the following question.
How to tell some one that their breath stinks without hurting their feelings ?
1. When. 2. Where and 3. how to say nice words at the same time stressing the point.
Many times we have seen relationship getting worse when somebody is frank.
Sadly we even avoid the person while in conversation.
And even dread meeting the person.
Or you think it is rude even to give hints etc.
Or just forget everything and continue conversation with the person and just move on….
And quite a few with bad breath go into depression and tend to avoid people or remain in isolation.
Any members ,aware of any Etiquette…if at all it is there ??
Is the ‘Mint’ only solution to overcome this problem ?
That is the reason the World celebrates ‘World Oral Health day’ March 20 and to-day is that day !
Who doesn’t love sparkling smile with lovely set of teeth ?
Why not each and every one of us see the Dentist regularly (once in 6 months) as required.
What are the minimum things we are supposed to do regularly ?
1.Start the dental care for the kids as soon as teeth start forming.2.Brush twice a day,by using proper technique and never forget flossing daily.If you are not aware of flossing take help of you tube or yourDentist.3.Change the tooth-brush once in 3 or 4 months.4.Before going to bed rinse the mouth with anti bacterial solution.5.Forget smoking,tobacco and all other related stuff.6.Eat healthy diet and I need not stress how important this is.7.Consult Dentist once in 6 months.
Ok.Now I come to some common dental problems we face because of our irresponsible habits.
Of course ,these things you already know.
1.BAD breath….this is how I started my topic. 2.Tooth decay.3.Gum disease,4.Tooth sensitivity.5.Oral cancer.6.Of course who enjoys your unpleasant & un-attractive smile ?
Members suggestions/ opinions appreciated.

“Some days are just bad days,that’s all.You have to experience sadness to know happiness,and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day,that’s just the way it is ! Dita Von Teese
“It is popularly believed that sadness is due to certain things that happens to us. The cause of sadness is often traced to misfortune,hardship or humiliation
In truth all sadness is from within.
Sadness is the result of our inner attitude towards outer happenings”.
Dada J P Vaswani
The reasons for sadness are many. And all of you know.
Reaction to sadness varies from person to person and depends on how sensitive the person is.
Sadness can break the person completely and even push into suicidal tendencies.
Some cry to get relief,some indulge in self harming,some manage the show by fake smile,but still many are unable to come out of the feelings.
We all should realise that nothing is permanent in this life. Change is the way of life.
Whether it is sadness or happiness it won’t last forever and comes alternatively and this is nature’s law. Every thing changes over the time and time is the greatest healer!
Whatever may be the reason for sadness…never keep the emotions inside. Remember it’s like a time bomb.
What is the solution ?
Yes solution available.
A sad person needs another person who understands him/her 100%
The sad person just needs this person on whom he/she can lean on and cry their hearts out. Believe me the relief is instant !

“Money often costs too much “ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Man sacrifices his health in order to make Money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present,
The result being that he does not live in the present,or the future.
He lives as if he is never going to die,
And then dies having never really lived!.
The Dalai Lama.
” It’s good to have and the things that money can buy,but it’s good too,to check up once
in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy”
George Lorimer .
As the saying goes …..” Best things in Life are free ”
But we never care to have a look at these things ….. and go on carving for more and more money,losing the true happiness ( True happiness can not be explained or described,can only be felt )
Then the question comes ….what are the things that money can’t buy ?
There are many things,but I can tell some important ones,what I could think.
Love,truth,time,peace of mind,talent,health,manners,true friends,knowledge,family unity,personal contentment,happiness,integrity,respect,ethics and lastly spiritual enlightenment, nature’s beauty……

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance.” John Lennon
This is a 2.7 minute read.Please proceed if you can spare this much time.
Before I start the discussion,it’s better we know the definition of ‘Romantic Friendship’.
According to ‘Wikipedia’
“A romantic friendship, passionate friendship, or affectionate friendship is a very close but typically non-sexual relationship between friends,often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in the contemporary Western Societies. It may include for example holding hands,cuddling,hugging,kissing,giving massages, and sharing a bed, or co-sleeping, without sexual intercourse or other physical sexual expression”
Yourdictionary.com says
“An intensely emotional love relationship between two unrelated people, in which sexuality is unimportant and typically absent, but there is greater physical affection or poetic communication than is typical for friendship”
Can we include online Friendship ( since we are into the digital revolution with social media,online-video/chat,making new online friends etc ) into the above definitions ? I am not sure.
How nice it’s when the truly understanding relationship takes a vow, as said below !
“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach more,that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.And that’s what you’ve given me.That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever” Nicholas Sparks
But then….all are not fortunate and there has to be a kind of ‘vibe’ or as some one brilliantly coined the term ‘ Familiar vibe’, or Mutual ‘resonance’ between the partners or friends or relationships.Plato’s quote is apt.
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” Plato.
True friends really make a big influence on their individual lives in times of stress.
And What did John Lennon Say about friendship and its impact on Life and how this true friendship keeps you smiling ?
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears”.
A recent study published in the journal Psychophysiology suggests that simply imagining love & support from your significant other can boost your stress management skills.Check this link.

The butterfly is the symbol of Zero Discrimination Day
1 st March 2019
On 1 st March,people around the world join together to celebrate Zero Discrimination Day.
The UN celebrated Zero Discrimination Day on March 1 st 2014,after UNAIDS,a UN programme on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( AIDS ) launched its Zero Discrimination Campaign on World Aids Day in December 2013.
Discrimination continues to undermine the efforts to achieve a more just and equitable world and causes pain and suffering for many. discrimination has many forms,from racial or religious discrimination to discrimination based on gender,sexual orientation or age ,and bullying at school or work.
Source WHO
“Only people who have been discriminated against can really know how much it hurts. Each person feels the pain in his own way, each has his own scars. So I think I’m as concerned about fairness and justice as anybody. But what disgusts me even more are people who have no imagination. The kind T. S. Elliot calls ‘hollow men’. People who fill up that lack of imagination with heartless bits of straw, not even aware of what they’re doing. Callous people who throw a lot of empty words at you, trying to force you to do what you don’t want to”. Haruki Murakami
The symbol for Zero Discrimation Day is the butterfly.widely used by people to share their stories and photos as a way to end discrimination and work towards positive transformation.
‘wishing a Happy Zero Discrimination Day’ to all my WP friends.

Yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream. Kahlil Gibran
All us have same 24 hours,but then each one of us react to the same available time based on our mood.It’s really funny !
Time is Slow-When you wait !
Time is Fast-When you are late!
Time is Deadly-When you are sad!
Time is Short-When you are happy !
Time is Endless-When you are in pain!
Time is Long-When you feel bored!
Every time ‘Time’ is determined by your feelings and your psychological conditions and not by Clocks.
So have a ‘NICE TIME’ always.
Finally
Remember ‘another time‘ known as ‘Free Time‘ ! because
“Free time is the most expensive time you have, because nobody pays for it but you. But that also makes it the most valuable time you have, as you alone stand to reap the profits from spending it wisely”. Jarod Kintz

They are all laughing…their heads off ! This is happening irrespective of their age.This laugh is spontaneous and heartful.Since you are smart, you know that it is not a fake laugh.

“A smile is the beginning of laughter,and laughter is the feeling of being happy,which we all need every day” ! Byron Pulsifer
Don’ take life seriously,start having fun ,what ever way you wish and have at least one good laugh every day !
Have a hearty laugh at every available situations be amusing or funny.Even recollect something funny that happened in your life and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I love friends who make us happy by their laughter and who are also jovial.
And I am lucky to have lovely online friends,who make my life burden lighter with their humour.

And talking about sound sleep ……. Lack of sleep is common in modern society.
From the interactions I had with a few WP readers,I realised that some of them are able to respond/reply/comment mostly during past midnight ( people from my part of the Indian Subcontinent ). I am not here for any judgment,since I know nothing of their schedule etc,but I wonder what is the mood like during that time, and how their next day is going to be and also the consequences on their health status in the long run.
Reduced sleep
Disturbed sleep ( insomnia) or Lack of sleep ( Sleep deprivation).
1.Insomnia is a sleep disorder due to psychological or health problems and one has to consult the physician for the cure.
2.Lack of sleep is human making.You get ready answer as to why one is not able to sleep enough.
Lack of sleep affects your immune system.( I don’t want to go into medical /scientific details).If you want your immune system to work at its best…then get the needed amount of sleep every night Don’t give excuses of stress etc.
On the contrary,good sleep reduces your stress level !
Don’t depend on sedatives or tranquilizers ! Remember lack of sleep makes you depressed.

We all know that Life can never be ‘Instagram Perfect’.
But still,why we all make our life miserable ?
1.Because we worry about future which is unknown.
2..We quarrel among ourselves for what happened yesterday,who is responsible etc and trying to blame others or ourselves in the process.Yesterday is past….and nothing can be done,but still we worry for the things that happened.
3. We forget to be happy today conveniently because we have something or other priorities to attend.
Things don’t happen as per our wish,not readily waiting for us on the silver platter.
Do you remember the quote”Good things come to those who wait” It is nothing but rubbish.Life is never kind and it owes us nothing.There is no such thing called ‘Happy Life’ and my point is that you have to ‘live’ in the moment and make your life ‘Happy’
“It’s not a case of finding the meaning of the moments,but giving the moments meaning”. Steven Redhe
This life is our own and it resonates how you want it to live.If you want it to be miserable ..it’s the way it’s going to be for you.
“you can frame a moment,But you can’t frame life” Armin Houman
‘Hope’ is good,no doubt it sustains us but then we should make attempts to make that hope a reality by living in the ‘moment’
Then how not to feel miserable in life ? My thoughts are simple.
1.Stop over thinking.
2.Stop judging others.
3.Remember,nothing under your control.Just move along the flow
4.Avoid the mentality of perfectionist.
5.Stop criticizing.You know only part of the story.
6.Avoid negative thoughts .
7.Most importantly stop comparing yourself.

I am unique. I am special. I am me.If you think I am funny,that’s your problem.
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me.
I am me, and I am Okay.”

Number five in a seven-part series on virtue
The virtue of kindness can be a confusing concept to understand because it can be defined in many ways. Perhaps the best way to understand kindness is to examine other words associated with kindness.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary uses two important words in defining kindness. Those words are affection and favor.
If one demonstrates kindness to another, it expresses a level of affection toward that person. A fine example of how this is manifested in life is found toward the end of the book of Acts in the New Testament.
Paul and his companions had just survived a shipwreck and found themselves stranded on the island of Malta. Luke, Paul’s companion and chronicler, records the kind actions of the natives to their group in chapter 28.

It’s also interesting to know why 60 th wedding anniversary is called ‘Diamond Anniversary’ ?.It’s because of longevity of the couple’s relationship both in times of happiness and difficulties and the marriage surviving this long of 60 yrs without break up in relationship, a toughest job indeed in the modern day philosophy of ‘divorce’ at the drop of a hat.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged” Matthew 7:1
It’s 2.5 minute read,GO ahead if you have time & inclination.Thank you.
I am not talking about friends & relatives judging us or vice versa.
I am talking about people we come across in our day-to-day life,whom we know nothing about ( unknown to us ).
It is but natural for all of us to judge the other person with an electrifying speed !
How do we judge a person ?
By appearance= Facial-ugly or beautiful ..Body build -fat or thin ?
Body Language ?
By color ? Whether smiled or not ? By hairstyle ?
By Behavior ? By person’s dress ? By seeing the tattoos and piercings ?
Is it true that ‘ First impression is the best impression’ ?
And later on many times we felt sorry that our first impression went horribly wrong!
Then why we jump to judge people ? Do we have any right ?
Probable reasons for rushing to Judgment …..
Is it because of fear of the unknown?
Is it because…I can never go wrong, (mind-set)
Is it because we think we are superior and at the top of pyramid and rest are lesser mortals ?
Is it because ,we are insecure about ourselves?
Are we not lying to ourselves by judging others ? The answer is ……
“Judge me if you want, but at the end of my life, I choose to have memories not regrets.” Steve Maraboli
Read this story
A 24-year-old boy seeing out from the train window, shouted…
“Dad look the trees are going behind!”,dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby,looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity,suddenly he again exclaimed…”dad,look..the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…”why don’t you take your son to a good doctor ?”.The old man smiled and said….I did and we are just coming from the hospital,my son was blind from the birth,he just got his eyes today…”
Every single person on the planet has a story.
Don’t judge people before you truly know them.The truth might surprise you.
“Judge tenderly, if you must. There is usually a side you have not heard, a story you know nothing about, and a battle waged that you are not having to fight.” Traci Lea LaRussa11
Judging the other in a flash of second…….I call it blind Judgement.
“Judging others make us blind.where as love is illuminating.By judging others we blind ourselves to our own ( short comings ) and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

According to Wikipedia/Wikiquote
Hope leads to patience, courage, and joy. It makes us stable, and we are saved by hope. It is one of the three things which last: Faith. Hope, and Love
Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large.As a verb,its definition include;”expect with confidence” and to ‘cherish a desire with anticipation.”

Valentine’s day is the day,when all over the world,LOVE is celebrated.
It’s celebrated on 14 th February of every year.
Just think for a second.Are we true to the spirit of Valentine’s day ?
Is it necessary to wait for this day to express love ?
Instead we can show this love in every day of our life.
Don’t you think true love is the one,which is beyond conditions ?
True love should be forever supportive.
Love should be constant both in times of happiness and sorrow.
Of late, we have become busy in showing off love ,instead of taking solemn pledge of Love !
And on the Valentine’s day,funnily we exaggerate our Love !
To show love you must buy something and this is where industries are making a kill on this day,defeating the very purpose of Valentina day.
I guess we are over rating the day !
Money, money,money,it’s so funny !
My take, Love never fails,instead people fail on love.
“Love never dies a natural death.It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.It dies if illness and wounds,It dies of weariness,of witherings,or tarnishings.” Anais Nin

Can you reign in your tongue ?
The tongue is a fantastic organ!
You Use it for speech, taste and decorative/culture ( tongue piercing)
It’s a strong arsenal in your body
Tongue is a blessing and also your nemesis
It can make the difference between life & death, joy & sorrow
Can make or break the relationship
Can sooth you or hurt you.
With the same tongue we praise the Lord and curse the people.
It can easily put one’s foot in one’s mouth !
Is your tongue ruining your life ?
Relax…it is possible to keep tongue under check !
1.speak less.2.speak with sincerity.3.speak with grace.4.speak kindly.5.don’t gossip.
Listen to what wise men said……
“For every kind of beasts,and of birds,and of serpents,and of things in the sea,is tamed.and hath been tamed of mankind.But the tongue can no man tame.It is an unruly evil,full of deadly poison.” JAMES3: 7-8
“The tongue is like a sharp knife….kills without drawing a blood.” Buddha.
“Better slip with foot,than tongue.” Benjamin Franklin
“Whatever is in the heart will come up to the tongue”. Persian Proverb
” At table keep a short hand,in company keep a short tongue” Turkish Proverb.
“It is better to bite your tongue than to eat your words”. Frank Sonnenberg
“Talk with your mind before you talk with your tongue”. Anonymous

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
It’s a 4.5 minute read,if you have patience proceed..
Before we proceed further let us understand ‘friendship’.
“Friendship is a best ship which can lead you on world tour” unknown
It takes roughly 200 hours to become best friends with someone, according to science. Can you sustain it afterwards ?
Say 6 months ? 1 yr…..3 yrs…..7 yrs…. Or till one of them decides to knock the Heavens door ?
Don’t you think… friendship is a complicated relationship among people ?
It can last from one day to…. life long !
“Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest…it’s about who came, and never left your side” unknown.
It is said that true friendship is possible,having similar wavelengths,and the two sharing their true feelings, whether a happy or sad situation in an honest way,at the same time maintaining the confidentiality,helpful to each other whenever possible and not interfering unnecessarily into their personal matters.
with the invention of internet and followed by online chat facilities…..both distant & near friendship became ONLINE
What is online friendship ?( Unknown to each other initially )
It is communication between two unknown friends exclusively via internet.With the advent of social media,video chats etc,it became easier, simpler and importantly faster to develop online friendship.
What is great about online friendship ?
1.You can develop confidence in yourself. 2. Get support in times of depression (morally). 3.Emotional bond. 4.Can add value to your life.
Is it necessary for online friends to interact face to face ?
Depends on the parties concerned. It is said that for friendship to be real,better they have face to face interaction and be honest with each other.
Can one trust online friendship ?
How sure are you that the other side person is true to what he or she,as they describe themselves ?
But remember,It is not all that easy to find right kind of person and probably you should think twice and must be lucky !
Initially it may be touch and go ,but make sure you listen to your sixth sense.Suspicions apart,I think if both of them are on the same wavelengths,the friendship can boost and lasts longer.
Can online friendship between man and woman possible ?
If the friends happens to be man and woman,it all the more imperative that they know their limits and keep things cool.We also come across many examples of people falling in love and taking the friendship to next level and break up later.Ultimately it is up to them to decide how to maintain the relationship to be long-lasting.
If both parties intend to have fun ( online ),share the moments,having jokes,exchanging the ideas,making recommendations,suggestions, even helping each other’s in difficult situations,(need not be financial),and may or may not be serious in taking the friendship to next level…..it can still be a lot of fun!
What about age factor?
I am not sure.For teenagers the relationship is obvious. For Middle aged people it can be different meaning.For older people they are in need of affection & some body to talk to.
What if friends happen to be young & aged?
It is up to the individuals concerned to continue or stop depending upon the individual feelings and priorities.I am not able to guess really and internet search giving different opinions.
And the secret of lasting online friendship ?
In order to achieve lasting friendship,I think a continuous communication is important.I feel it should be on a daily basis at regular intervals.
The beauty of online friendship is that you don’t know the other person, personally and your imaginations run wild !( if you are not into video mode the fun is much greater)You are in your own virtual world,enjoying every minute ! The discussion can even be a deep personal conversation !
My take…long-lasting online friendship is possible, provided
1.If the parties develop mutual TRUST and be HONEST (not exploiting).Don’t overdo chats or get addicted.
2.Be frank and have an open communication.Have a regular chat schedule ( timing is important,both the parties must allot mutually convenient time) and keep in touch,know each other even better.
3. Be a good listener and appreciate the other party when the person deserves the same.
4.Give importance to the common bond.
5.Don’t be possessive.Tune down your ego to ZERO
6.If possible turn online friend into a real life True friend.
What is your experience with unknown online friends ?
Would you like to add any more suggestions ? please go ahead.

Though life is fair to us,always we feel we are missing something and we are unhappy most of the times.
Less said better especially about love.
“The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we
never give enough of is love”.
Henry Miller
If you feel the Love, I think, that is, the most beautiful thing to happen in the world and you are lucky !
Suppose if you want to make somebody feel the love …that is even a memorable !
What makes YOU feel most loved ?

“This to-day of yours is the precious tomorrow of someone who passed away yesterday”– Diva
Note-We all Live in Hope, but as you know Hope can have either positive or negative outcome.Instead why can’t we just pray that everything will end well and complete the day with a positive note?I request the readers to read the following with a positive orientation.
Don’t we live in permanent illusion of ‘Tomorrow’ ?
Is not your mind telling lies constantly about your tomorrow ?
Is it not a fact that you can’t see tomorrow,and none of us know or sure of its existence or even how it looks !
Then why you say ,tomorrow…I do this..I do that.. etc ?
Since none of us know anything about this extraordinary tomorrow, is it not meaningful to spend time today, to the best of our ability,living in every second,helping each other whatever way it is possible.
Now that you realized that there is no ‘tomorrow’,you can stop demanding things from God and start having faith in GOD and just start the day (ie today) by saying ‘what ever happens to-day is for my good and rest God will take care’ and develop the philosophy ‘there is no other time better than this moment’.By this thought don’t you think you are liberated from all your tensions,anxieties and worries forever ?
Are we depriving the joy of ‘today’ for the sake of ‘tomorrow’? Think that to-day belongs to you and you are here to spread your faith & love.
Listen to some of the wise thoughts.
“There is no tomorrow.There is only a planet turning on its axis,and a creature given to optimistic fancies”. Robert Brault,rbrault.blogspot.com
“Tomorrow may never come to us. We do not live in tomorrow. We cannot find it in any of our title-deeds. The man who owns whole blocks of real estate, and great ships on the sea, does not own a single minute of tomorrow. Tomorrow! It is a mysterious possibility, not yet born. It lies under the seal of midnight–behind the veil of glittering constellations”. E.H.Chaplin,Living words,notablequotes.com
“This day was yesterday tomorrow nam’d:
Tomorrow shall be yesterday proclaimed:
Tomorrow not yet come, not far away,
What shall tomorrow then be call’d? Today”. Robert Owen,Today and Tomorrow,notablequotes.com
“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn’t believe in that. Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them. It didn’t even know they were there”. Cormac Mccarthy,The road,Notablequotes.com.

It’s a 3.4 minute read
The other day one of our exceptionally brilliant readers wondered, how the time is running so fast,we are in the middle of January,still we are dreaming….as if we celebrated new year just yesterday…is this not scarring? Life is moving so fast, refusing to wait !
I felt … it’s true
And shortly…the spring will run into summer and Summer chasing Fall and Fall merging with Winter in no time and soon we celebrate Christmas and eagerly waiting for the safe delivery of 2020 and in between many will be in touch with the Creator…
Then the thought of why can’t we live longer lingered in my mind!
Yes.Why not ?
All of you know life is awesome !
If you ask ,each one gives their own many reasons as to why they love to live longer.Very few say they want to die earlier.
Don’t you think there is so much of unfulfilled wishes to be full filled?
There is so much to do,so much to see,so much to enjoy,so much to learn,so much to discuss,so many new People to meet,new friends,new thoughts,new experiences….
…..oh my life ! My dear life…..and you think just 70-80 yrs of life is sufficient ?
There won’t be negative feelings or sadness or sorrow if one were to live forever.Of course ones health should be good,but this is possible as science is advancing and most probably in 2100 death can be delayed indefinitely.
But why you don’t want to die ?
It’s very simple my friend.Death means, all your taste for enjoying the good life gone.You miss the beauty of universe.You miss your near and dear.you miss unfinished jobs.you miss, loving your sweetheart.
OK.But Why do you wish to live forever ?
I have an answer.
Modern age is better than Iron age.Iron age was better than bronze age.Bronze age was better than stone age.
As things become better and better ,we wish to live longer.We starts inventing things where in death can be delayed.As technology advances,they day may not be far,where death can become optional.
What is the present scenario ?
If you want to live longer – watch this clip. ( 3 minute Video )

With the selfies, a photographer has finally found his place in a photograph. Amit Kalantri
Professional Photographers can make a real kill,because of selfies.
As an amateur photographer,I realized that selfie makes one’s life miserable.
1.Selfies distort your face by 30 % .The truth is you look ugly.people are dejected for this and try to avoid the world.
2.Selfie face distortion making people do nose jobs and plastic surgeons have become busy .Some body even inventing app( commercialization),which is supposed to correct the distortion
3. People becoming obsessed and in the process getting depressed.
4. As a medical professional,I can tell you that regular usage of selfie can give you SELFIE WRIST, an emerging hazard in this digital era.Selfie wrist causes pain,numbness and tingling sensation in the hand.( carpal tunnel syndrome)
Doctor warns-rise in cases of selfie wrist
5.Hundreds and thousands are getting killed while trying to take selfies with India in the lead,followed by Russia.USA and Pakistan.
List of selfie related injuries and deaths ( Oct 2011-Jan 2019)
I conclude..
“The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart”.
