My activities~thanksgiving

My last post featured top 5 things we should do. I did some other things, small ones but if we all did it, it could make a big difference :) . Here are they....

I was sick, yet attended work
- I wanted to thank my job and say it I loved it in my small way. I felt nice that's why! :)

I saved electricity
-The office air conditions are always on, well mostly. I generally feel cold, but i'm a tinsy part. So, I requested them to shut down for some time, to save some of that precious electricity. Say what? My colleague did it... :)

Donated
-Not much but I actually donated 10 bux to the public transport driver, that is more than my fare. I genuinely try to do that more when i'm not broke, feels nice and you help someone nice.

Bought & made gifts
-Got some gifts for my buddies-books and hand painted some t-shirts too! Wanna see?

What did you do? Tell me in the comments below.

Top 5 on Thanksgiving

So here's top 5 things you should do this thanksgiving:

1. Spend quality time with loved ones(family,friends,special one)

2. Give to the needy(some food,clothing,donate) and be proud of it

3. Eat loads and be ready for the extra carb workout tomorrow

4. Eat homemade(priceless stuff you can never get elsewhere)

5. Make a promise to yourself to always find lots of time for the loved ones and for yourself

6.Give a gift to every family member of their choice, you will get  to know them more than you think

Count your blessings, its alot to give you what you have today. Thank your loved ones, spend time with them, not just this day but every possible moment, it is something you will always be thankful for. This is also something we take for granted but it goes away without any notice.

Let me know what you did and what more you think should be up on that list?

Spirit of thanking- happy thanksgiving

The true spirit of thanksgiving is giving- it may be to the poor/old/diseased, it maybe to any other needy, it may be to your family. Charity starts at home, yes and this is that one opportunity when everyone wants to spend that 1 quality moment with their family and share the spirit of giving and getting. Did you know?
Giving+Giving=getting?

To give something generously, that is giving something that will pinch you (like your favorite doll house, not something you don't want/won't use) needs a very big heart. That heart we all have, its just that we don't know of it. To receive(get) things in its real true color, you need an even bigger heart. And you have that too.

I'll tell you how it works:World= total n peopleGiving= n people give to 2n people i.e. every person gives to atleast 2 other peoplegetting=for 2n people to receive gifts, you have to be a part of it

eg. Tom,jack,pery are friends;
Tom gifts jack and pery
Pery gifts tom and jack
Jack gifts tom and pery
Make sense?


What are you waiting for? Start giving, happy thanksgiving!

A small world and finding happiness

I happened to check the top 20 most searched songs and came across "All of me-John Legend",I've embedded below. For some time I see the videos, quality super good=film but the truth is hardly reflected.


No offense, I would take the example of this but my intentions are not to offend any fan because truly I liked the song too even if it's not in my favs.

I understand that the concept of perfect imperfections is perfectly lovable, kudos to the idea but implicitly many of the videos put forward a image in our minds of life-how it would be. As it is we are in an era of over expectation fro ourselves, from the world and from life. The scenes depicted (in many of the filmy video-songs) portray a life unreal or set an expectation level which won't happen all your life. However in our minds, I set an image of the unreal future and when I don't get it, I am frustrated. You and I should be conscious enough to keep distinguishing what is cinematography and life. Anyways if you stayed in water so long, you'd catch a terrible cold (a-choooo)-excuse me.

Some of the below are carry more truth, I agree a film is more entertaining as long as we are conscious of its impact, it cannot impact-

1. A singer enjoys his song-real life,small thing but real joy


2. Enjoying moments of dance-Dirty dancing

The world is small, the people we will meet will be limited, our life partners will not look like james bond/charlie's angels. We need to look beyond, yes 'accepting imperfections' is a step forward. However accepting life as it comes and making the small moments count are more important. A regular life(which is also very happening in itself) can have various joys of small moments,experiences,faith,love and togetherness. Most of us will not be in 'Lamborghini' , in 'large palaces' and yet you will be the prince/princess to someone. Don't let the huge things block your view, the genuine joy in love is the feeling in itself, it does not matter whether it's in a jaguar or not. Money is a necessity, don't make it luxury. Flamboyance is addiction not necessity. Your life is too short, think, decide and learn to choose the genuine. Be conscious and remember the film might look nice but 'life' is a different enjoyable story altogether.

This is my sweet message to you all, let me know if you agree/disagree or maybe things I missed. Would be happy to face criticism, I'm not perfect and I don't want to be, however I would love to learn and listen.

How are you?

 Well, when did you last greet your neighbour?

In a selfish world, it is weird how we even measure a word we say. Every action is counted and timed. "Time is money" and we have taken it too seriously. Most of us lead a passive life and pass away with useless cash and make life what it is not meant to be.

Well let me ask you then "How are you doing?". Did you feel nice? Ofcourse you did, so make it a point, to talk to people around, to make relations in real life and not only social media. Smile and ask "How are you".You will make friends and you might make someone's day. Even better you might find just your soul mate which you aren't able to on the so called dating sites!

Check out the to-do list:

1. Start smiling and talking to people around you (reduces social media anxiety)
2.Stop staring at the mobile screen when waiting in a line, notice people (you will learn something)
3.Donate blood(You will save lives without giving yours,even better some places give a work leave)

What are your top to-dos that we lack in today's date? Comment and let me know, we can add it to this tinsy list.
