Pongal Lohri And Sankranti – It’s A Celebration Of Winter

It was January Sunday, temperature was around 18 – 19 degree. I opened my eye by listening this classic song on radio… "Jab Chali Thandi Hawa Jab Uthi Kali Ghata...." When you stay in Indian subcontinent then weather is pretty pleasant and quite chilly air in surrounding.  I was not feeling like to come out of my cozy bed but my mom was asking to get ready soon and we have to go market to get few of the stuff for upcoming festival of Makar Sankranti  / Lohri / Pongal. We celebrate Sankranti but every Indian state has their own name for this festival . I am not here to write about festival today but I wonder how our Indian festivals are planned and does it has any significance?

Our growing bro culture just say how outdated our culture is and what is the use of celebrating those useless festivals. You may be shocked after getting to know that this festival has scientific reason behind that. What was that? Just hold on, I am going to answer that. Before that tell me, have you observed that you are little more hungry in winter than rest of the seasons. Do you know the reason behind this? This is because of our body. Human body will require more calories to generate enough energy to maintain the body temperature constant and resist the coldness. Isn’t this scientific? Now remember the recipe’s prepared by your mom during this festival. All items are full of oil seeds like Sesame, ground nuts or more heat generating cereals like Bajra (Pearl Millet) and all. All these items will provide you extra energy during cold weather. Isn’t this a great arrangement. Our ancestors has ensured good health while celebrating the festival and considered the easily available items for common man for the festival.

So tell us about your festival and story? Share interesting stories of you for celebration. The best story will get an exciting price and also, we will publish your story on our blog.

Celebrate this festival and remember our great ancient designs keeping them on your wall. Easy and best wall stickers will be available through our online portal.

5 Success Formulas For Youngsters Through Wall Stickers

Since my childhood, I always get inspired from Swamiji’s thoughts. I am talking about a none other than but great HINDU monk — "Swami Vivekananda." If you read his literature, you will find all following successes formulas in his books and speeches. These are very simple rules, but very difficult to follow in our life. Our human monkey mind keep on jumping from one thought to another and speed of the change is faster than speed of light. During reading above 4 statements, your mind could have traveled from so many places. Isn’t it ?

The five simple keys to success are as follows:

1) Dream big — There are so many day dreamers. I am one of them, so I knew how it feels! However, the dream keeps on changing every day, and that’s a root cause of your all issues. We keep on changing our dreams based on time, location and environment.

2) There is no shortcut for success — Now I have a dream to be a cyclist or a good programmer. So first question to myself, do I work hard and my thoughts convert into action and act? Unfortunately, No…! I just keep on changing my thoughts and day dream about the greatest coder or fastest cyclist. You take any field, unless you work hard, you cannot reach to sustainable success level. Shortcut may reach you at a temporary height, but there is no guarantee of that success. No one in this world is successful without hard work, dedication and passion. The famous quote "Arise! Awake! And do not stop until the goal is reached" of Swamiji, can be placed on your wall. Just try our best wall sticker and feel the difference. As the scientific study states that human mind gets inspired more by the pictures, by seeing some inspiring things around humans can lower their inferiority feeling. So our Kakshyaachitra wall stickers will definitely help your mind to get motivated and achieve your dreams in life.

3) Don’t compare yourself with others — Do you know, every individual is unique having different abilities to think and work. When you compare yourself with others, then you might be underestimating yourself. You are not having any idea about others sacrifices or compromises that person has made during their success journey. Another quote from Swamiji can boost your confidence rather than your inferiority feeling. Swamiji Says, "All power is within you; you can do anything and everything."

4) "Take risks in your life, If you win, you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!" — This quote has a wonderful meaning. You should always take risks and challenges in your life. Once you take challenges then unseen wisdom and knowledge could be seen. If you don’t take any risks then you will never come to know your ability of doing impossible things possible in your life. If you are unable to chess the challenge then at least you can learn from your failure and you will be able to guide others for the same.

5) Believe in yourself —

(You cannot believe in god unless you believe in yourself.) — It states that you should be trustworthy to yourself and with others. You should have ability to take right decisions in your life. You should have sound strategy to achieve your goal and should not get distracted by others opinion. You should always remain honest to yourself even if no one is watching. You should accept yourself first then only you will be able to overcome dreams and goals of your life.

Image plays a vital role to motivate human mind . As that’s because visuals add a component to storytelling your life that text cannot do. It is said that human mind can catch visual images more than any other things. As we live in visual world people are more attracted to image. Most of the people use image campaigns to grow their business. So, if you also want to grow and achieve your dreams then get motivated with Kakshyaachitra wall papers.

"PRECIOUS-MEMORY"

The happy time spent with the people we love always gives us a precious memory. In our everyday's rush when we get a peaceful moment to look at ourselves we surely compare our present life with the times when we were happy, free and living an easy going life. With no sign of worries back then, we looked much more brighter than we are right now.

We human cherish health, happiness and youth much more when its gone. Instead of living today we worry for future and later regret for those moments that we couldn't live. The skin that was much prettier, the people that were much closer, the youth that was more cheerful. Everything we had with us fades away with time and the only thing remains is the dust of a handful of memories.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee at a friend's place. The movie watched with the whole group together. The first day of arts class with a childhood friend. While we look back at those days we definitely want to live them again. But, end up with the reality of Monday Morning.

Hard work, earnings and competition, of course these things has no end but that doesn't mean we have to forget what life is. we keep running and running but forget to where. we keep learning and learning but forget what. we keep living and living but forget why. Stop yourself from this regular process. Take a breath and ask yourself "Is this the life I dreamt of?" or "Is this what I deserve to live?"

Our every question will be answered when we meet the people left behind. When we experience the same joy and laughter just like we did in the past. So, take a break from the busy schedule to rejuvenate the 'U' in you.

Main Aisa Kyun Hoon???

This Hindi title meaning "Why Am I Like This?" similar to the song featured in a Bollywood movie “LAKSHYA”. Beautifully Choreographed by Prabhu Deva and performed by the talented Hrithik Roshan. In the song the protagonist keeps raising this question and it is very nicely pointed in the song. Please do listen to this song if you get a chance. Did you ever think about this point? There are many times I do similar kind of mistakes at different occasion or in different context. But When I analyze the action taken during that period and the action that was taken in another context both having similar characteristic. Many of you may be having similar feeling but did you ever try to understand the root cause of this behavior.

Human being is quite a confused but the most intelligent animal who's keeping its brain busy with one or another activity every time. Because of this, the important life questions are mostly unanswered. We are in the digital era, or some of us might have born in the computer age, so the computer language is easy to understand. So I would like to give an example for how this is related to behavior of computer. We need phones or computers with higher memory storage to process more data or for multitasking. But what will happen with the computer when the RAM reaches to its extreme level of storage? The computer faces crash issue saying 'not enough memory available' and the phone responds slowly. If you take this example and compare it with human brain then you can sense the similar behavior of the brain and computer memory. We keep on storing things in our brain and if we stop clearing cache memory from our brain then we feel depressed or frustrated. Our responses will be slower or some day we can be blank and won’t be in condition to take any action. This kind of things keep happening because we don’t give a chance to our brain to shut down or reboot and clear the cache from brain.

There's a reason why meditation and yoga is quite famous now-a-days. Before mobile age, people had enough time to sit alone and think about their thoughts. They were keeping words with their mind. They used to speak with friends, family, close ones and even with themselves. Now in the age of information, the information is quite missing. Whereas, people has habit to dump the data from one bin to other bin and the cycle goes on. People won’t understand the fact that they are spending quite a lot of time on non-productive things. Even in your relaxing time, when you scroll down your social media account, your brain will keep processing that information. In other words, you are telling your brain that you are in relaxation mode but actually you are not.

Lets simplify the term Meditation. What is Meditation? This is a process to silence your external noise and listen your inner voice. Concentrate on your thoughts and gradually you will control your thoughts and emotions. In the old age, people used to do this activity often in their precious non-working, free time. The best time suggested to practice meditation is early morning or in the evening and give a change to collect your thoughts and see it in a new light. Ask a question to yourself, when will you have such quite time? Or Do you really care about your thoughts, mind and body?

We Humans don’t like questions. Questions brings out the mind from its comfort zone and it becomes uncomfortable to face your own thoughts. So when we keep ourselves busy, we don’t get time for such things and no questions occur. When I ask the myself, why am I like this? I don’t get answer, however, few more questions follow me and then the chain of reactions keeps on going. When you compare behavioral act with someone else you will start feeling challenged. To answer many question, you have to give time to your own mind. The simple answer to this question is Yoga and Meditation - The yoga and meditation will give you an opportunity to connect to your own mind and body.

I Need More Than 24 Hours In A Day...!!!

I don’t have time! You might have heard this many times. Or you may have used this excuse before. To be honest, sometimes, even I give the same reason for my pending or incomplete tasks. The other day, I was speaking to a young student, who was planning to enroll in an engineering college. Her sister was complaining to me about her study and less marks in exam. According to her, she doesn't get enough time to study. In addition she stated "I need more than 24 hours in a day." This is not a case of just one student, but I have received same opinion from many student. I keep wondering about this student thought process. They get enough time from their school and college schedule, But still have complaints about it. And it is even difficult to imagine these kids changing from a student into a professional.

On the other hand, successful people or students also get those same 24 hours in a day. The time is same for every individual across planet. Have you thought about your time? or do you spend time on planning your time? Execution is also an important part. Time management is crucial for everyone and in our fast pace of life, time is getting more importance than anything in history. I'm not trying to teach you another management story. But making you realize that the time and its connection with our growth and development is on my target today. So I can only suggest you to use your time wisely. Because you cannot reverse the time or save it for future. You can get nice books, videos or podcast on "how to manage your time?"

“Every drop makes an Ocean” we all know this proverb with a great meaning. This simple proverb teaches us a billion-dollar success formula. This proverb is applicable for water storage, to gain or improve your wealth, and can be applied for your study or knowledge. This same can be applied for time as well. You cannot save the time but can extract every second of it into a valuable drop of your desired Ocean. You can convert your time into knowledge or wealth and that can be used in the future. You may get confused with the time conversion. The time conversion in knowledge is not as difficult as currency conversion or any other conversion. Also, rate of conversion depends upon your own grasping power and your own pace will decide how fast or slow you can build your own path.

Let’s take an example, you want to acquire new skill, or you want to read a big book. Everyone may have similar to do list in mind, but time is big constraint, isn’t it? We get 1440 minutes daily. Let’s start spending only 30 minutes for an activity that you've chosen on daily basis. In a month, you can put efforts of 900 minutes i.e. 10000 plus minutes in a year. I'm pretty sure everyone can make 30 minutes for their own benefits from their busy schedule. So, number of hours you spend on your own growth that time you are ideally converting into knowledge. Indirectly, you are saving or wisely using your time for your own personal development.

See, how simple is to grow and learn many things in life. When we are consistent with our efforts then time won’t be a constraint whereas time can be on your side to make many more things in the same time what everybody gets.
