Last Day of My High School

By -

"How could I forget that day?" It was 20 March 1985. We all gathered in our school hall.

This was our last day in high school. It was our school's tradition to arrange a feast for outgoing students. All our mates were busy organising a tea party for us. Our exams were declared. The environment was a mixture of sorrow and joy. 

One side, there was happiness to go to college but on the other sadness for farewell from school. Everyone was hugging and wishing each other good luck.

All had kept a silence when our headmaster entered in the hall. He gave us lots of advice and wished for a bright future ahead. The party concluded with tears in the eyes of everyone including some of our teachers. Read More

"मैं उस दिन को कैसे भूल सकता था।" यह 20 मार्च 1985 था। हम सभी अपने स्कूल के हॉल में एकत्रित  हुए थें। छात्रों के लिए एक पार्टी की व्यवस्था करना हमारे स्कूल की परंपरा थी।

हाई स्कूल में यह हमारा आखिरी दिन था। बहिर्गामी छात्रों के लिए एक दावत की व्यवस्था करना हमारे स्कूल की परंपरा थी।हमारे सभी साथी हमारे लिए एक दावत के आयोजन में व्यस्त थे। हमारी परीक्षाएं घोषित हो चुकी थीं।

वातावरण में दुख और आनंद का मिश्रण था। एक तरफ कॉलेज जाने की ख़ुशी थी लेकिन दूसरी तरफ स्कूल से विदाई का दुःख। सभी गले मिल रहे थे और एक-दूसरे को शुभेच्छा रहे थें। 

फिर हमारे मुख्याध्यापक ने हॉल में प्रवेश किया और हम सभी ने चुप्पी साध ली । उन्होंने हमें बहुत सलाह दी और आगे के उज्ज्वल भविष्य की कामना की। पार्टी हमारे कुछ शिक्षकों सहित सभी की आँखों में आँसू के साथ संपन्न हुई।

The native name of this fruit is Garmunda, which is dominated by its medicinal properties. It has been used equally for both humans and animals.

Why do relationships become painful?

By -
Image
When we want more, or when we lack it, then love hurts. Losing a relationship can be extremely painful. Relationship, or love, is so important that it is the thing couples fight about the most. This happens in every small thing. Like we are watching a show. My partner is saying, "Wait, I want to see what this is about" and I keep scrolling, ignoring his quote, that seed of conflict has been sown. Alternatively, when I ask if we can go sightseeing this weekend and my spouse either says yes, and does not follow through, or says “sightseeing!" You know I hate going out unnecessarily! Being aware of how we create communications to connect with each other and paying attention to whether we are following through. Because it has been a while. Alternatively, even "I would love to, but because of the craziness at work I'm not up to it. Can we find another way to spend time together, and we can do it another weekend? Can we plan to do something new? Alternatively...

Success Is Not Just a Coincidence

By -
Image
Success is not just a coincidence. This is the result of our perspective and we can choose our own perspective. Therefore, success is a matter of choice, not of chance. Most of the people keep waiting for a lottery to take place, but can they get success in it? You have to choose to work hard and you have to choose to be in the right place at the right time. You also have to be able to recognize what an opportunity looks like. Nothing happens by chance. Everything happens for a reason. Success is an opportunity and opportunity comes only to those who prepare themselves. Chance or luck is being prepared to see an opportunity. Our continuous efforts can make any impossible task possible. Just as a continuously flowing river cuts even a mountain. If you want to win, consider these thoughts. The eagerness to do something new always takes a person to his destination. Many types of obstacles come in the way of success due to which a person loses and changes his path. Those who maintain t...

When My Father Had Become Idle

My father had become idle. Though, the primary source of our income was agricultural land and it was gone from our hand. Now there was no job for my father. That time we were two brothers and two sisters. I was not born that time.  He went to Kanpur Uttar Pradesh for some work because my maternal grandfather lived there and was running a restaurant. So he helped my father find  job of a cook . It was good for our family but not for long. My father left the job, but he stayed there because he was still in misery.  He could not forget the situation he faced in recent times.

Tomorrow Never Comes

Years ago a man named "Hathi" was living my neighboring village. He was very strong in physical. There were no public transport that time nor do the people have money to afford.  One day "Hathi" went to see some of his relatives around twenty miles away. While coming back to home he saw a heavy stone used for mixing & grinding home construction material. He planned to carry it to his village. So he lifted it on his shoulder and brought to his village. Near to his house there was a Panchyat Ghar. Lot of aged people sit there in the evening for "Hooka." When he was passing through they called him asked for "Hooka." Saying that he is coming from a long distance and have some water and rest. Tomorrow will place it at the right place. Hathi urged them to place the stone at the right place but they stopped him doing so. That stone remained there. In 1985 Government launched a scheme to lay down stone in the streets of the villages. Then this stone...

Let Joy Be Your Constant Companion

By -

Everyone sets goals to find happiness in their life. Do you sometimes feel unsure about making the right choice, which makes you even more unhappy? I admit that I often feel lonely. I'm someone who wants to spend quality time with others, but often feel that many relationships are superficial. Unfortunately we often look to others to fill that void rather than the person who matters most, because the one who matters most can fill the void There is no right or wrong thing to do in life and every experience in life has the potential to enrich us, or it can become a curse. He suggests that if we can walk through life happily, no matter what happens, we can live beautifully. How we can take our destiny into our own hands and make happiness our constant companion. There is often a lack of understanding or experience. Sometimes there are comparisons that drive us further apart. We rarely have compassion, empathy or sympathy for those whose paths are not like ours. Everyone is fr...

My Dream House an Image of the Universe

By -

In the month of January my family decided to buy a new house, as that house was small for my family, I was also very excited to get my new house. Specifically, I wanted a new bedroom so we went to the next societies in search of a new house; my family wanted a big hall and a room for their indoor activities. We searched a lot for a house. In our imagination; Our house should be very well lit. Maximum sunlight should be provided by skylights and tall windows. The place should be much bigger than our old house. We first looked at our needs and then looked at the budget. Is our household budget matching our needs? The next step was to add some modern touches, which we were very happy with. Our aim was to find a home that reflected its traditional values, but with a touch of modernity. We combined classic features like terracotta grills with more contemporary additions like box projections, glass extensions and glass staircases to find this beautiful, timeless property; Which we can...
