 Gifts

There is this misconception (at least, it was for me) that receiving something you like as a gift will make you Happy. Maybe. But, the thing that makes the Receiver even more happy is knowing the effort done by the Giver.

I've realized that the thing we receive as a gift is a token, tokens of the extra step taken by the Giver to go out of the comfort zone to bring in the gift. There was a hell of a lot of times where I was disappointed cause I haven't received the one I wanted. But the happiness quickly redeemed knowing the effort behind it. All the gifts I've received have become tokens of my happiness, every time I see them.

So, if you are a Reciever, give it a second thought about the effort behind rather than judging the mere token. If you are a Giver, try to step out of the box if you want to make the other person smile. Cause, smiles are memories that remain even after we die.

Passion

"Love what you do". It is easier said than done. Might be possible for some. But, the majority are definitely gonna fall into the other category. Even if I write a 3000-word essay about it, executing that in real life would definitely be difficult. Let's make it short.

  1. Try to do what you love. The main issue would be earning from doing it. Search for various ways to reach it. We have a hell of a lot of time every day to try.
  2. Love what you do. No offense, this is highly impossible. There should at least be some part of your job, which interests you. Only then, it is possible.
  3. The easiest one. Create a hobby from what you love. There would be a million reasons for not making your passion a day-to-day job. So, you have a regular job to bring money in. And, you'll have a hobby of what you love and make you forget the tough times of the day.
There might be a hundred more ways of looking at this. But, by the end of every single day, you should have something which won't make you fall into the pile of regret. Regret builds up slowly and eventually, you are gonna break down. Move away from it as far as possible.

WEEK-IN #3

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spend Wisely

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
