Dig the past, only if you are willing to plant a tree

“Dig the past, only if you are willing to plant a tree" is a reminder that exploring the past is only valuable if it leads to growth and change in the present. It's a call to action for individuals to learn from the past, but not be held captive by it. Instead, they should use their understanding of history to create a better future.

Do we really mean it?

I have started my day with this curious question. Do we really mean it? when we say these things “Happy Birthday” “Happy Anniversary” and most importantly ‘RIP”. These are the most important occasions in any human’s life, which we celebrate in between our journey from “Baby to Body”. When we are born,
Happy Birthday

Just Imagine-If your wife reacts this way!!

Just imagine, on one fine day, you went out for a boy’s night or a party with your colleagues and as usual, you are constantly avoiding your wife’s calls for more than 3 to 4 hours. Finally, you reach home at 3 AM in the morning and your wife opens up the door with a bright smile on her face to welcome you. This can be a reality for sure and you will get to know by the end of this article.
Every couple tries to give their best or rather show their best side to each other in this phase of their relationship, which is either the courtship period or the first year of marriage and both of them try to put in their best efforts to impress each other. If everything goes well, these efforts will progress into marriage, which is technically shown as a happy ending in most of our Indian films. But logically this should be considered as a happy beginning to a new perspective of life.

What if a tree gets into mental health issues?

Trees offer us so much in terms of life-sustaining resources like oxygen, food, and shelter to name a few. Suffice to say, life on earth would be impossible without trees. But apart from these resources, trees can also offer us a wealth of knowledge. There is so much you can learn simply by looking at a tree and how it grows.Out of all the life lessons which a tree can teach us, this is my favorite one. Unlike a vegetable garden that will ripen and die in a matter of months, a fruit tree needs years to mature. It assumes and demands patience.
It invests a lot of time to strengthen itself prior to producing fruit.
This is something especially every kid should learn and adapt as a practice.

Importance of renewing love in your relationship

Have you ever observed, In our Indian movies, there are not many songs available to praise a wife when compared to those millions of songs available to praise a girlfriend? Well, I will leave this as a curious question for you to think about and introspect. On that note, today we are going to talk about the importance of renewing love in any relationship. We have to understand and accept this reality, we humans are blessed to experience the purest form of unconditional love only twice in our entire lifetime. Let’s talk about the first one. We get to experience this from our parents, from the time we are born on this planet and we get it without much of a struggle. I think this might be one of the reasons we always take this for granted until we ourselves experience the magic of giving a new life to our kids or reach a particular stage in life. This is the human emotion cycle, which

This is the story of every extended family WhatsApp group- Digital joint families!!

WhatsApp groups have become an essential feature of modern families. You can’t leave them safely once you are added. You have to remain a part of the group as an obligation, even if you are not very active on them. The one thing we all have in common is the infamous extended family WhatsApp group which is always filled with either forward messages from the elders in the family or some best wishes. Mr/Mrs/Ms. Forwards: They are the most excited individuals in the group, who’s always active but without any context. Their self-esteem lies in the information, which they just forwarded in the group without anyone’s consent and understanding the context of the discussion which is going on in the group.

How Five Ws and One H can change your kid’s perspective towards learning ?

I became a student of life, when I realized that, I didn’t know the answers to the most fundamental aspects of life, which we have otherwise taken for granted or never bothered to apply these Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why questions to them. Being a student of a defined curriculum, we tend to stop asking these questions at a very early stage in our schools and start accepting the facts taught by our respective teachers.

At home, we are always

Who deserves all the gifts and best wishes on your birthday ?

Definitely not the one, who’s celebrating the birthday but the one, who is the only reason behind our existence on this planet, our mother. The most powerful being on this planet who got gifted with all the powers of god ( super power).

She’s the one who’s taken all the never ending pain, which starts from the time we occupy her womb and it never ends. She’s the only source of unconditional love and protection, which we can ever imagine. Knowing all these facts, it’s time for us to ask the most fundamental question to ourselves, why should I celebrate

The art of communication - How to sell your idea ?

We always assume that , we are conveying an information to the other person while we are talking to them but the fact is we are presenting the data to the other person and it all depends on how he/she interprets this data in to an information, which is again interdependent on the other persons past experiences and exposure levels to the topic or idea which you are trying to convey.
