My Dog's plight
Its summer over here in India and this time of year is really brutal for us Northerners. Just so you know, I don't have an air conditioner installed at my house yet. But the concern here is not my plight but my dogo's. Weather is really harsh on him. He lies here and there all day long and his activities are reduced to an almost zero. Whenever he tires to go out apart from his walk hours, I stop him as if he goes out and jumps like he usually does, he will soon attain a furnace's temperature.
As you can clearly see above, the highest temperature is 37 degrees and its really too much to handle for a dog covered in fur. He keeps his mouth open all the day. We are gonna have monsoon soon and its a matter of some 15 days or so but I am really worried about him. I am a bit relieved after seeing the weather report
*****What I have tried so far?*****
***I get him bathed very often but sun diminishes all its effects.***
***I give him lots of cold water, cold butter milk, cold milk and add cold water to all his meals.***
***We only walk in shade these days.***
***I don't let him go outside like early times when he used to play on roof or porch.***
***I apply water occasionally on inner sides of his ear. I do so because his ear feel so hot when I touch them from inside and I think its only thoughtful to apply some cold water on them frequently.***
***Whenever he goes outside, I ensure applying wet cloth on his paws so that the heat from flooring doesn't make his paws hot.***
***I often mop floor, the areas where he lies so that the the floor gets cooler.***
*My dog responds really well after bathing but I can't manage to get him bathed everyday as I am a busy guy. Rest all less effective measures and I don't see him much happy after those. Also, it's lockdown here so I can't get any commodities from market which might help him and I am really stuck here. Earlier I used to feed him an ice cream everyday but it's hard to get one these days. I barely manage to get buttermilk from market due to lockdown.*
*****His attitude : in hot weather vs cold***** :
***When temperature falls, he wags tails, he roams here and there in house and seems happy. Also, he doesn't keeps his mouth open all the day and is enthusiastic whenever someone calls him out. I got him bathed on last Sunday only and he was happy as heaven. He also eats his meal properly when temperature is low.***
***When it's hot outside, he finds refuge under sofa or bedside under fan. He rarely comes out on calling his name, also doesn't looks excited. He tends to skip meal and takes liquid meals only. He shows good craze for walks in such situation too but gets all hot after he is done walking and lies by bed soon as he gets home. His wagging tale becomes a missing site in such scenario. I really miss him being happy and I wish it passes away soon.***
*****Why I shared all of it here?*****
*My main reason to jot all of this sad tale over here is to get some help form you guys in my situation. Many of you might be having pets and FYI, mine is a 6 years old German Shepherd with a medium hair length. I invite suggestions from you guys about the same and the tricks you use domestically to keep your pet happy in such scorching situations. I have already mentioned my practices above and would love to read as many suggestions as I get. Please share the practices you follow and I would really appreciate domestic approaches and efficient ones in case of buying something online. I hope to get some precious opinions and cures from you guys.*
***I personally believe this a lot that our pet is our family and we should treat them none other than rest of members. So, my duty is to take care of him and I hope you guys are taking great care of your pets.***
Thankyou for reading!!!!!!

My dad's kitchen garden
Its always a bliss to see mother nature blooming. Greenery around us gives positivity and freshness. Its flora only which is the reason of very sustenance of human on this earth. When a human cultivates something, it gives a sense of productivity. It works like a therapy to calm the mind and makes it sound by giving it the sense of abundance. Mind in turn helps human body to take efficient decisions and approach their daily life in a less tense way. It is very soothing to see seeds germinating and taking form of lush greenery and also, they give us by product as food, medicine, oxygen(most important of all) and many other precious things.
In this article, I will show you an effort of my dad in converting empty land into kitchen garden. It's originally to be used for construction but till the day arrives, it is a site to admire and provides us rich fresh air with many other products.
*****A complete view***** ***:***
This is a plot adjacent to my house and all these vegetables are planted by my dad only. He took care of seeds like anything. He gets up early in the morning to nurture these beauties and only after their maintenance, he carries other morning errands and then leaves for work. It's really commendable to see him working hard for cultivating these and that's what pushed me to convert into an article. Actually not only his hard work but contribution to a green planet too pushed me.
***We cherish this juicy natural delicacy a lot and there isn't a single tree only but three of them. Also, two new trees are shooting up. It really replenishes my fiber needs, keeps my stomach healthy and it's sweet juicy bite is dear to me. The fruits showed up this year only and I just love it.***
***These are delicious French beans. Their delicate pods house tiny seeds. My mom cooks them really well. I just love its prepared form and am a fan of my mom for her cooking style, she cooks it in oil with potato and onion. These are sweet, tender and really crispy. Right now, we can't spot them in this picture because they are lost in leaves or maybe, you can spot some, try your luck lol...you can comment as I already spotted one.***
***These ladyfinger haven't yet produced any of them but soon we will be having them. Every child here in India is a big fan of ladyfinger vegetable and we call it Bhindi locally. I really love it too. This is one of the vegetables of my dad's, for which I can't thank him enough as it's an all time favorite.***
***I don't even know how much of you are veg fans over here but I really enjoy veggies and I am a vegetarian guy. As for those who are interested and haven't had these anytime, you might not like them as they really taste bitter aligning with their name but I love them too. The style of cooking is all that gives it an awesome taste and if cooked rightly, you can reduce the bitter taste to low levels and can get all the nutrients in them. They can give you fiber and vitamin C majorly.***
***One weird thing about this article is you can barely spot any vegetable on the plant. But believe me, the way they grow, it was hard to capture both plant and its product. Also, due to soil and rain over here, they were kind of covered in mud and their real color was not visible. I really observed closely and there were many of them over there. Anyways this is brinjal and we really have less of them. But being less, there are almost 2 or 3 on every plant and are just perfect for a family of .***
***The middle one is the real pain. Once you put it in mouth, it will be fire all over and it will blow your minds if you are not a chili fan. The corn around is love though and we have more plants of corn over here. It's gonna be total rainy season soon and then I will get to feast on those corns. I really look forward to it. In my country, we prepare corn by roasting it on flames and putting a lot of spices and lemon on it. It can also be cherished in boiled form after mixing lemon, pepper, salt, coriander leaves and mint in it. It really tastes awesome.***
***I love the idea and vision of my dad, how he converted a empty land into a green unit. A lot of birds chirp over here admiring these plants under the shade in the scorching summer heat outside and they also get some food out of it. I really enjoy sitting by its side in evening air and the greenery adds to all of it. When it rains, I really enjoy the air better than anything and its a joy to hear the sound of rain hitting leaves and plants dancing on the harmonious note of water from heaven. After rain, they bloom like the happiest ones on the planet and in a bigger picture it always works as the therapy for the one working for their care and cultivation and also those who enjoy the fruits they bore under a rejuvenating downpour.***
Sending my green greeting to all of you.......<3

Counter Strike Global Offensive(CSGO) : Not just another multiplayer
If you have been exposed to any kind multiplayer experience you must have heard of **CSGO a very famous first person shooter game and it's really my all time favorite.** If you are or were a hosteler in any of the colleges across India or globally, you probably would have played or heard of its community and it has a big craze among youngsters. It's a LAN game basically and it's tournaments are a major part of **ESPORTS tournament all over the world. I will take you down to the very implementation of such game networks and the craziness this game offers to gamers.**
*****Server concept :*****
*Most of us are well aware of online games these days in which you can play along with your friends in lobby. Have you ever wondered how it works over internet? If you have, you might have come across the word server. Consider the game as a real time software transmitting your data like when you hit someone with bullet, their health point drops, when you revive someone with a health shot their health replenishes also, you might have faced a lag in game when there is a poor internet connection. All of this change in game state and lag is related to local stations from where you connect and receive response.* ***Servers are places with really powerful machines installed to process and deliver data at superfast pace over internet.*** *If you guys are making a lobby, you need other lobbies or lobby to fight you. So, your IP addresses get connected to a server when you find a game and through that local station, exchange of data takes place which updates every thing in real time. Its very common to come across this word these days when you play any of multiplayer games. This is as much as I can go about servers in easy terms but I hope you understand how multiplayer games work over internet and how you friends can talk in a lobby using microphone, see real time game changes and all the exchange of data.*
*****Concept of CSGO***** **:**
***It has a very amazing concept of two sides namely terrorists and counter terrorists. There are 15 rounds on each side i.e. you will get to be terrorist for 15 rounds and then counter terrorist for another 15 rounds(that is of course if you can play full 30 rounds) otherwise whichever team wins 16 rounds first wins.***
***There are many maps and when you search for a game, you can either search individually selecting your favorite map or in a lobby of five. Then you will be pitched against another team of five on that map through matchmaking according to your ranks. Then the game will start after a short warmup.***
***There are two bomb sites on every map and counter terrorists guard those site while terrorists aim to detonate one of those by planting bomb over there. The entire brawl is over capturing sites and guarding sites. There is only one site that is to be detonated and if done, terrorists win that round otherwise counter 30 terrorists succeed in guarding and win. Every round lasts 2 minutes 30 seconds and if there is no bomb plant done by terrorists, counter terrorists win automatically.***
*****Craze all over the globe***** :
*You can explore on twitch, youtube, fiver(csgo coaches) and pretty much any streaming platform, you fill find a hell lot of people sharing their screen while they play and they get hefty sum for good plays as the number of their subscribers increases. Not only this, esport events many leagues take place round the year and different rosters from all over the world participate to show their caliber. Recently, the craze of esports have also taken air in Asia and youngsters are joining the movement with great enthusiasm. It is rising as a lucrative career opportunity for many gamers who are crazy about team and multiplayer games.*
*Strategy and teamwork is at core of these games and believe me if you have that game sense, movements and flexibility, you can earn millions playing leagues after getting signed up with a roster but it sure is competitive as hell and challenging too as majority of families not really love the idea of gaming as a career at least here in my country.*
*****How it's related to me***** :
*I really have devoted majority of my college life to this game. We have played LAN tournaments, online lobby and pretty much every form of this game. It was a moment of outmost joy and teamwork playing this game with my friends in college when we had a league going and we represented a roster. We had mechanism of bidding in college and then, we selected players from all the years. Generally the best players were those who used to bid for other 4 players of their team and then we had a LAN setup in one of the hostels of seniors and we played like real gaming tournament over there with a local server of our own. It was really an amazing experience inspecting the game of both the teams from server room and the intensity to which teams used to go, all the cheering for favorite players of ours when we were not playing and the cool gaming* ***aliases we had. My college life is closely linked to this game and I still enjoy it till date with my friends over internet.***
If you are a gaming enthusiast, do try it and challenge yourself. It takes time to learn but gives outmost joy when you get a hang of it and who knows, someday you will represent a roster and have a career in it only.
By the way, my **alias is engin33r in csgo.**

Job offers and emotions
***Placement is a word linked to sentiment of every guy pursuing degree these days but I would like to talk about Btech placements specifically as I have pursued the same degree and I am not gonna put up any technical details but emotions of my closest of friends linked with it and what it felt like to me seeing all of it happening before my eyes, all of the joy and positivity in the air. I got to see and talk about their transformation from student phase to a working guy.***
***How it is like to hear them getting placed(#succeed)?***
*My college was one of tier three colleges as we guys call them in India. The companies don't approach us directly and we have to struggle to find jobs in final year of course. From year 2020, the mid of third year, many of my friends were working hard but not having luck work for them. They didn't get much of the opportunities for interviews and were just hoping to have them soon. We connected to different people, prepared for tests for jobs and along with us, our* ***college's placement officer also worked hard by approaching companies for setting up employment drives with them. Finally the drives started and students started getting placed.*** *It was really a mutual encouragement thing when someone failed an interview and cheering news when someone got selected. Now came my very close ones.*
*It was already the end of the drives but they were not having any luck despite the caliber. They were working hard and waiting eagerly for opportunities to grab on. The first one to get placed among us were me and my roommate and I can't tell you how happy we were on getting placed together. Still not all of my friends and my girl have been placed. Then came my girl's turn and when she told me she got placed in same company as I were, my happiness shot up to cloud nine. It was really the best news I have heard in the entire corona period and we were happy as anything. Then came two of my friends who were just like brothers to me and they were yet to be marked among placed. They were kind of broken now by trying hard for so long but not short on hope and in this month of June only, both of them bagged job offers which they are really happy with. My happiness was at par this time when they told me all of this over call and I genuinely appreciated their hard work and determination. The wheel of time brought their opportunities for them and they managed to harvest the crop of their hard work this time.* ***One of my pals is still struggling but I am sure he will bag offer soon.***
*****A sudden change in the air***** ***:***
*As they called me and told about them getting placed, there was a sense of excitement but not a normal one this time. The air felt filled of responsibilities for us. It's like stepping into an accountable person's shoe. When I recently talked to one of my friends who is in intern period, we discussed how we can meet on Saturday or Sunday only now as rest are work days and we really need to contribute to those who are paying us. We need to comply by some rules as we are working for someone now. We are getting salary and we need to payback with the work. All of us can be called grown ups in true means now.*
***Those who are looking forward to a corporate job*** :
***Hey fella!!!! Be open for challenges. You will need to expand your thought process and add up to your intellect every day. You will also need to retain all of it so as to add it up in your experience for climbing more corporate ladders. Do intern if you wanna beforehand experience of job and also, it will help you when you will join. More skilled you are, more money you are supposed to make here and also, more respect and raised quality of life. But as for struggles, a job in corporate sector revolves around them only. Stay motivated and once you secure a job, climb up and up never turning back respecting takeaways at every stage of your work.***
*As for me, I will soon be starting my work and I really look forward to transform this into a blog of happenings then. I really look forward to share all of my life with you guys and challenges I will be facing to give you an insight into life after accepting responsibilities, into a time where you are gonna be some day & into a space which you tend to explore.*
I wish for your harmonious work life and hefty salary.

Throwback to better times :( #Lockdownmisery
*I have forgot the way I used to sit pillion to my friends and wandered the stretch of city every summer. Every now and then, some of my friend would message about a new waterfall no one knows about and the next thing, we would get there to have fun. Scorching summer heat would leave for those moments and friendship got re-energized every time.*
*We would stop by food stalls and famous places to party on our way.* ***Kathi rolls being our*** *all time favorite and pizzas would add to the joy of scenario. We were as free as air around and were always lost in tranquility of mother nature. Belonging to a city which is a valley itself, we have ample of beautiful water sources over here and a very famous hill station* ***Mussoriee*** *nearby. We use to drive up the hills and enjoyed food on apex with talks of lifetime. Photographs were being taken to make memories of the happy times and those days would shake off all the stress and tension we had in our minds back then.*
*We did make all kind of plans but the best ones were those when my friend used to call in morning only and then we left by afternoon. Rapid actions were taken and we merrily drove our two wheelers.*
*Its not me only but most of us enjoyed the free life they had when there was nothing to worry about a virus which can stop all the operations globally.*
*Who would have thought, one day we won't be allowed to leave our homes and misery will be all around listening about rising cases and deaths due to a virus no less than a curse. I really pay my condolences to those who suffered due to this and are reading this article.*
***Get togethers were our thing. Socializing was fun. Having a quality with quality people refilled us with new enthusiasm and new nourishment to routine life. I still remember going to market with my mom for shopping and fun. I really enjoyed it. It was like her and my ritual to visit market every once in a while. And it's only yesterday when she told me, you remember how we used to go out and have fun.. This curse destroyed it all. I am surely not diminishing the greater sufferings others faced due to this but I am just mentioning the things which really meant something to me.***
*****Corona destroying dearest things***** ***:***
*This might just be one of the article which will mark this unforeseen hellish curse in the books of history and how it was not only the physical pain but a mental destruction too. It snatched away favorite possessions of people. Be it life or likes, it took off all. Its still spreading like a wildfire though our doctors, researchers and entire frontline is doing their level best to control the situation. It has stolen the independence which was really fond to mankind and is acting as an abyss for our happiness. I know history has seen the bad times in the form of diseases having no cures and back then medical advancements were also not up to the mark but now it's even worse when we think we have it but still are unable to contain it. It's even tough for researchers to tackle something like this but they really are titled as renowned people of their field for something.*
***Ending note*** :
*I sure was feeling low about the seized rights of ours and it's mental torture for me to bear all this and that's why I opened up to you all. I shared it with read.cash family to be their partner in pain in case any of you are feeling alike in this respect and it's always like this with us social animals, we share and tend to revive our souls. I wish all of you remain happy, healthy and untouched of* ***covid-19 and just know, you aren't alone, we are together in this. I wish happiness and love for those who have had irreplaceable loses and wish for their wellbeing for entire life.***
I surely want you guys to feel happy and great even though whatever we are going through. Hang tight fellas.

Money brings independence but impatience
I still remember the very first time I earned and it was here(on read.cash) only that I made some **45usd** in first 2 or 3 months of writing. It was my birthday and I was happy with the idea of spending my own money unlike the other times when parents gave it to me for partying with friends. I proceeded with the bank transfer and was crazy about party asap.
Even before the day arrived, I started spending money thinking I have lots of it and didn't keep any track of it. Me and my friend ate fast food for some 5 or 6 days straight and I ordered lots of food at home too. Within a week I was left with some 13 dollars only and now I could treat only some of my friends with that money and finally I ended up adding more money to it like other times and the pride of treating my friends with my earnings couldn't be attained anymore.
**Feeling of Independence** :
When you earn, you can transform many of your dreams into reality. Some things which you could never buy or ask for can now be gained with money. Also, sense of contribution in family develops and you feel pride. You can now surprise your parents on their special days, can gift what your siblings wish for, can care about a lifestyle and literally many other things. This all gives birth to a feeling of independence and some of us always find ways to channelize the money for making more money in things like crypto, stock market etc. Your money brings you new set of options which you couldn't think about earlier but also demands you to be more wiser to stand firm against the impatience it develops like in my case mentioned in the beginning of article.
*****Impatience and best practices***** ***:***
You will have a thousand things to spend on and you will tend to spend on the first thing that comes to your mind without giving it much thought. This is the **impatience and chaos I am talking about. Sometime you will tend to have a lose hand and will spend when you don't even need to. This will render you short of money for many other things which could bring productivity. Sometimes, you will cater your needs when you feel slightest of un comfort in your present state and that is surely affordable when you earn good but you should be wise till it's not ample. Some practices that I feel are good for controlling your money :**
*Have multiple wallets and mark them as per their nature like emergency fund, needs, savings, investments etc.*
*When you are in initial stages of job, you should watch out for your needs except if your income is hefty and should save unneeded expenses on brands etc.*
*Invest the money whichever way you want(local banks, crypto(recommended), stocks etc). Just don't let your savings sit idle* ***#multiplication****.*
*Spend it on learning and certification for a better output in near future. You will reach higher positions in your life once you are full of knowledge and skills.*
*Keep track of your expenses with the help of online tools like Ms excel, google sheets etc. This will help you keep a watch over your savings, expenditures and investments all in one place and you can bring in more productivity once you start optimizing it.*
*Before I end it here only, I would like to put a very good example to demonstrate patient and productive use of money over here. My sponsor* @bmjc98 *who is gonna have her BCH house ready very soon should be inspiration to us in these regards(I hope I can use your example here). She sure had saved enough BCH to back her up to make a thing as pretty as this possible. She is gonna have her place ready very soon and you can check her blog for updates. Let's wish her a happy and proud inauguration very soon.*
Also, I myself have started taking in dips and investment opportunities to consider since I joined here. Once I have enough money, I will try to implement all of it. I have my own rules for BCH earning over here and I don't tend to spend them carelessly like the very first time. So, it gave me lessons for future and hope, we all learn positive approach of spending and making more.
These are just my personal views and I intend to update this article once I join the job I am about to in a month or two. I wish you a happy and patient spending, earn more & flourish like wowwwwww!!!!

Gradually catching up
As I joined my course, a bachelor's degree in computer science, I was hell bent from the day one that it is not for me. I didn't have much of interest in computers but following like a sheep, I enrolled myself just for the sake of a job as its most evergreen one in terms of placements. Since it was a course of four years, I adopted an laid back attitude while other friends of mine who have enrolled with interest were already trying to learn things.
***First and second year of my college life was fun only*** *:*
In the beginning when none of us knew each other, it was uncomfy but soon as we all course mates got along, we did a loads of fun. A semester passed and we were partying in hostel away from home. I knew my branch and what it focuses on but unlike most who had a background of same in earlier times, I showed zero interest. I had no knack of learning new technology, exploring my field and also no keenness towards working for my future. It was end of first year already and all I did was gym and party and yeah we **all played multiplayer lan game COUNTERSTRIKE for hours everyday and I played it for like 2000+ hours in four years of my college life.**
While others have already started focusing on our stream's exploration, I was still unwilling to do something about my knowledge and I ignored giving it a try. It's not like I couldn't learn it, after all what task can we not achieve if we put right amount of practice and smart work in place. And soon, the second year also came to an end. Though I had a fair idea of how things are and what we study under my selected stream but still I only studied when exams were near and it was all fast pace gobbled up knowledge mostly for clearing exams.
***Neglecting opportunity*** :
I still had two years left and a person(my girl) to tell me that do focus on your studies and practical implementation and maybe you will start liking it, I decided to give it a try but still I wasn't dedicated while I had an opportunity to improve steadily. I did it half heartedly and again ended up in conflict whether I even like this or not. I always had second thoughts about my choice and I always wondered how it would have turned out for me if I had went for other options. I really had my chance to improve and it was third year already but I still paid no heed to it.
***Change incoming with global crisis*** :
It was Holi(a big festival of my country, India) break and colleges were closing for a week so we were sent back to home on 8 March 2020. We stayed home only till 21 march and very soon, corona shut down the whole world. It started keeping us captives in our own homes and as a result, colleges were shut down too. I again had my chance to learn something new and also, I was pressurized because of the thoughts of getting a job. Therefore, I started **exploring and trying new things in Computer Science. Believe me, within a week of trying, I was awe struck by the power of creation it provided me. I really felt like having a pencil which can turn anything it draws into reality.** I explored development, though I am not saying that I am a prodigy at it but it's really exciting to learn it. From the last year when lockdown just began and till today's date, I have tried to learn much as I can and what interests me and I have reached a conclusion that **when you give it a shot, you gradually catch up and start developing a liking for it. If you wouldn't dare to explore ever and just always be having it in mind that I am not cut out for this, then you really aren't and maybe, you will give up everything to this attitude.**
I am about to complete my Bachelor's degree in this discipline very soon and since I was never inclined towards learning it from starting, I am way behind others who did right thing at right time. But, I am trying to catch up gradually by learning new things and hope that one day in near future, I will be a good developer.
***I just jotted it down over here to let you know that don't give up even before you start and give it a shot. Even if you are not very smart or particularly keen about it, trying it may do wonders for you and you may even become a great brain of your field. You will gradually catch up and maybe some day, you will surpass those you idolized in journey.***
I am also very thankful to the people who always pushed me to give a short and friends of mine who always said : **"at least give it a try".** They didn't gave up on me and just when they were about to, I fall on right path. Just have that courage to go for it once, **you will definitely gradually catch up and improve and surpass.**
***Btw, I have also secured an average job offer in my field so that is icing on cake for me and a silver lining as an opportunity to provide me more and more knowledge.***

Family support system
I write my latest observations over here and as I am influenced by the way wheel of a family functions by observing my own family, I am gonna share with you my views on it and also how it leads to a fluent workflow with raised morals and support for each other. For a start, I wanna praise all the moms on this earth for the strength they have and the role they play. They single handedly contribute to their family, society and a nation of course in a bigger picture. No doubt, Indian history worships them as goddesses.
*****How it used to be generally********?***
Mom has been the power house of my home for years now. I remember my childhood when she used to give it all for managing her job(a teacher) and other permanent position(a superb housemaker). She has been working for more than 20 years now and not a day passed when she wouldn't get up first in the morning. From early days, she does cooking first then cleaning and then leaves for school. She had to get us ready too when we were young. Dad has been supportive but he himself left early for work always and so, mom handled all mightily alone. Its only since I got in higher standards of school, I started admiring and observing her hard work closely and it always awed me like a big boom.
*****My tiny observation in this context***** ***:***
As I started lending my hand much as I can in household chores, it gave her moral boost. It was like, she started thinking that he is being thoughtful always and we mutually started getting things faster and efficiently caring about each other at the same time. Meanwhile we were following this, it developed a sense of responsibility in my younger brother regarding the same and he started paying his services too. Through this encouragement, workload got divided and we were able to cutoff mom's efforts by at least 30%. We also started taking care of her nutritional needs as she is always indulged in work and needs to take good food to keep her healthy. It really brought change in how it was earlier.
*****What is my definition of a support system********?***
A support system for me is an ideal family realizing their small effort in making work efficient and at the same time, acknowledging the superwoman of the house. How can that be achieved?
**If you are free, dive in to take reigns from mommie's hands and feel free to contribute in household chores much as you can.**
**If you are busy then at least try to maintain the decorum of house.** Don't misplace things, utensils you eat in, do small chores like folding clothes, ironing them or doing some dishes etcetera while you get some free time**(don't think that it's your free time, just imagine how much of it your mom gets everyday).**
**Give her enough time.** She is busy as hell always and sure needs some light exchange of thoughts in a lovely way to keep the flame going in her.
**In the later years of her life actually of both our parents,** we should be more considerate towards their enjoyment as they have led a life full of struggle and you really owe them a break to recharge them in the retiring ages.
If you are having any pet, it's your responsibility to look after them. At least in my house, my dog is dependent on my mom only for preparing his meals and all of the rest is taken care of by me and my younger brother. **We get him for walks, bathe him regularly and feed him with the food mom cooks. It's like a burden off her shoulder and she loves doggo a lot.**
**Support each other when they lend a hand.** A job as small as passing a cup of coffee to the person doing dishes, cleaning car for your dad, making table before meals etcetera makes them efficient and admiring at the same time.
You can bring groceries or daily supplies when you return from work to ease out the workload of those who are gonna go to market particularly for that job.
I surely mentioned only what I have practiced so far and I believe that it really has helped in striking an equilibrium for mom in terms of work & life balance. You guys can add your advancements in it and can be more responsible from the moment you are reading this. Just think of her and other who are working selflessly for you and family and then contribute much as you can.
One thing is there which I really wanna clarify, there are some households already where mom is not burdened to the extent which I have mentioned and to them, I just wanna wish that it keeps going on like that only. I belong to India and it's like this in most of families here for generations that mom has a established right and duty towards her family which is incomparable to any other effort to me.
It's a famous saying also, **"unity = strength" and if you unite in this respect too, it sure can perform wonders.**

Choices
***At many points in our life, we stand at a diverging roads where it's all up to us which one we choose. Even in this short span of 21 years of my life, I have been there too and I am surely gonna be there numerous other times in my days to come. I am not talking about simple choices here. Probably as kids, we had choices for the color of lunchbox mom should buy for us, dress we are gonna wear and pretty much every small choice had to face our tantrums first. But as we grow, these choices become complicated, no more a kid's game. These turn out to be life changers, faith makers and they get clearly reflected in a person's portfolio of life. Others judge us on the basis of paths we chose, decisions we made and where they got us.***
*****A simple study on me***** ***:***
*Ever since I got admitted in 8th standard(when I could understand what being competitive is), my dad and mom started giving me examples of different people who are our relatives and have achieved great success in their life and worked hard for it. They would tell me how they were poor but never gave up on their studies, made good out of every opportunity, never took a path of laziness, never committed anything bad and all sorts of standards which I really admired and took inspiration from. Now I am a grown up and also see people the very same way how mom and dad used to tell me back then.* ***Aren't we evaluating the choices of others here? And I am sure, this is the case with most of us. We either mock others for who their are and what they did to get there or either we admire and bow towards the one who have really done wonders and make their choices our ideals.***
*****When the choices become hurtful***** ***:***
*When the love is involved, you surely hurt yourself bad opting even a single wrong option of all available.*
*When it's about career and you can't find perfect option but choose anything out of confusion, it surely becomes hellish to pursue something which is not your type.*
*Going against will of family and suffering afterwards is like walking on fire and you don't have enough courage to head back even though they always have their arms open for you.*
*Decisions in friendship sometimes get complex and there are many scenarios which explain this best. One I would quote here : "****changes in friendship when you fall in love and how you handle it"*** *nothing matter more in such times other than the choices you make and your management skills. Another scenario, where you have to stand by your friend's side when no one would and when you only have your bond to trust on.*
*Small very small things like choice of making a statement at some place, choice of seeing someone, choice of routine etcetera are really big things which can really show bad impacts if you can't control them.*
*Choice of profession and steps taken in its pursuit at right time are the ones which ensure a future full of your want else you are gonna suffer bad.*
There are many other scenarios which aren't needed to be mentioned here but one thing is common, the nature of decisions you make. You can't be correct all the time but many factors contribute in it along with the words yes or no for a particular option.
*****What are right choices(my perspective)?*****
***All those which are opted after observing and calculating everything carefully are good to go with. If you don't have anything to support why you chose a particular path, you will start questioning yourself when you start dwindling on it. Consider choosing a bad career option over others you could, it sure hurts and if anything, you can question yourself only after you no longer feel spark for it.***
***Its always better to consider dependencies on your choices. If there are any, you should consider their well being thoroughly and if it has you only in it, research, inquire about and then step on whichever path you decide with full dedication toward it.***
***You only know better about yourself than anyone and it's always good to choose best for you after some suggestions. Take analogy of choosing a smartphone here. We always first decide a budget and then go for the best one available in the range. It may require some online research, review of users etcetera but when we arrive at a decision after this much of a reasoning, we always end up satisfied and even if it doesn't come up to expectations, we console ourselves with the fact that we did the ground research for it. It is always a better approach then relying on luck and choosing blindly.***

A perspective on helplessness
Ever stuck in a situation where you just felt helpless with a feeling that there is nothing at this moment to make it better. Circumstances like how hard you try, you just can't pull them off this time. Like the harm is being done in front of your eyes and you can't stop it even when you want to put an end to it above anything else. There have a been a lot of situations like these for me and in some of them, I could do nothing but wait for the time to make things right. In some cases, I just had to let go of it. But bearing all of it is the really hard part in this process.
***Real life situations most of us face*** *:*
There are many circumstances which come up in this context. They may be related to the very core of your life like family, friends etc or your life in general like day to day issues in work life, new interactions etc.
**Demise of someone very close :** I don't know how many of you have been through this but it is really choking and I really wish it never happens to you. When ever their name comes up, its like you can't breathe and it's a void which can be filled anyways.
**A friend's betrayal :** It is sometimes the case that your homie whom you rely on ditches you when and where you least expected it. It feels like you have been stabbed right into your heart and it's a disturbing thing to happen to any of us.
**Messing up in a team :** It might have happened to you that you messed up working on a project when team was expecting from you. It could be a work project, team sport or pretty much any other group activity.
**Being scolded for no reason :** It was the case with me in my college 2 years ago. A teacher raged against me when I was not at fault. He hit me across the face too but due to moral obligations I just escaped the class. Being witness to such situations is really hard.
**Unforeseen curse :** These are the spoilers that attack your life unpredictably and push you out of mood. This pandemic being greatest examples of all the times. Many businesses have been destroyed and lives are being taken away by it mercilessly day by day. When life was more casual and less a tragedy this, there were conditions too like a big traffic jam in summer, natural calamities and what not which were really unforeseen but troublesome.
**Rejections :** Rejections at job interviews, promotion, in love, in friendship, in pursuing your passion etcetera break us down to core and we keep on trying or bearing their side effects.
**Guilt :** How can we forget about guilt trips when we are talking of helplessness. Being guilty for fighting with your lover, scolding your sibling, going against parents will and many other types of big or small guilts cause constant pain and are really harsh and unavoidable.
**Calamity :** When a disease, natural disaster, modernization etc takes place and erodes a large area especially native to you, it's a big pain and I have known people who are migrants from place now submerged in water due to dam construction and it's a big heartbreak for them whenever their place comes up.
**Self esteem :** You are the one who value yourself more than anyone and sometimes when you can't even stand up to you, it's hard to muster self esteem again. When you don't come up to your expectations in various fields of life, its such a acute pain which hurts like hell.
*****Some of my escape routes***** ***:***
**Losing someone close is a loss which can't be made up for** but whenever I think of my loss, I associate my achievements with her and how she is with me supporting me in various walks of life. I keep her principles alive in me and try to implement them much as I can so as to have a feel of having them around. I also dedicate my small things to them. Of course I shed tears automatically when her name comes up and it feels so light always.
**Messing in a team?** Believe me, it has happened to me both in sports and project work. But as you all know, having good people and teammates always helps us out. **It pesters me a lot till there is a next time and I try to take it out by trying and giving my best at the next opportunity I get.** Also, humans make mistakes and it's a big deal sometimes too but your efforts make up for them later on and the bad memory fades away and gets replaced by good ones.
**Guilt trips are really bad.** I don't have much of a solution to propose for them. Time heals it in my case and also, when I feel like approaching the one who is suffering because of me, I tend to apologize thoroughly.
**Rejections sure do hurt but trying hard is this life's rule.** Situation like job rejections can be handled through active participation in skill upgradation and change of approach. Also, professional environments like LinkedIn and other platforms are there to help. As for love, **wait it out buddy, you aren't the one who is going through this and believe me, you deserve someone better.**
**For me, read.cash has also become a platform of expression and it helps me out to calm down and pursue my passion by jotting things down over here.** Like this, have things you love to work on by your side and try to channelize your torment pursuing them.
*I hope, hard times pass asap for all you out there and you get your wants. Meanwhile, hold tight, believe in yourself.*
***Keep posting and getting informed over here.***

Why you should absolutely love dogs?
After a day full of work, when you get home, right at your doorstep you realize that he won't stop jumping. **Your clothes are surely gonna get destroyed and the moment will go out of your control. That sweet sound filled with love already starts caressing your eardrums even before you enter the house. It's like he has casted some magic that ear slightly feels light, your frustration is licked away soon as you grab him and pawsitivity spreads around.**
Once you pacify his urges for you, now you will be accompanied wherever you will go in house and with every movement of yours being followed, you will sense the faith he has in you, how he wanna be by your side only and is clinging to you like you are his one sole reason of existence. **How you and house will be defended every time Mr. doggo senses some threat clearly shows how much that cute animal is into you, he considers you as parent.**
*****Reasons why they need to be showered with love***** ***:***
*****When they speak with their eyes***** *: They sure don't know your language but know how to get their wants to you. Their sweet eyes full of affection and needy at times speaks for themselves. Their gestures are so adorable and soul so pure. They magically learn to get their will to you along with your cooperation and that contact surely is godly and astonishing.*
*****Adrenaline gush***** *: Be it any time of the day, they get super excited whenever they find you in a happy and playful mood and their adrenaline levels are surely splendid. This way they spread a happy vibe in your life at that particular time.*
*****Those walks***** *: Being exited for walks is the best part of a dog's life and they make it best part of your life too. The energy and aura they transmit is so pure and healthy for that part of day. You get to interact with them and form connection transcending beyond understanding even in some of your humane relationships.*
*****Treatos***** *: When you feed them with treatos, it is always such a pious moment. How they jump and wag for more just like a little child happy after receiving a favorite delicacy from mom or dad. It gives you a sense of belonging.*
*****Warm hugs***** *: You must have heard about dog therapy. If not, do check it out, its surely something to cherish. When you are having hard times coping up with life, it can do wonders for you. As for me, my canine son Harry gives me hugs of lifetimes every now and then and I really cherish it like nectar of life.*
*****Parental bond***** *: Have you ever noticed how you call them your son or daughter without hesitation and care for that bond equally as your bonds with other humans in your family. How they grow playing in your arms, biting your slippers to adults possessive of you loving every aspect of yours. They surely look forward to you as their parents. It's love only that they spread in our lives.*
*****Oh my god! that cuteness***** *: In every phase of their life, they make us awwww over their appealing charm and cute gestures. Their happy movements, excited faces and furry appearance make them "a really really sweet pea in" our lives.*
***My personal experience with my dog has been a sweet journey full of affection and it's been 6 years since I have had him and for every single day that has passed till now, I fall again and again everyday for his tantrums. I have seen him grow, felt his happiness, hugged him in my low times, cared for him sacrificing my own comfort whenever possible. We go on walks and I fall prey to his appealing charm and keep on observing him while he feels happy in the open area. We play fetch together and entire family calls him my son. I love when they do so.***
***He has grown likeness for me more than anyone in the family. Whenever I sit somewhere, he always lies by my footsteps. He sleeps by my side. When ever its a thunder storm, he jumps over my chest as he is afraid of thunder sound. So far, I have loved every single thing about us.***
***I really know how to care for a child after having him. I already feel like a responsible parent only in my early twenties. Me and my brother take him for vaccination and that's really something funny. He loathes when doctor aims injection at him and that's why we have to keep him controlled so that he won't bite back for he is a handsome hunk who can destroy you in a bad mood.***
***Please don't disregard them*** *:*
*It's a kind hearted appeal from just another human being in sake of dogokind. Respect them for they are god's gifts to make your life exponentially happy everyday.*
*Give them your time. Just don't keep them caged or leashed. They want your affection, playtime and care. Be close to them and connected to their heart.*
*Just don't tame them if you don't have time or think thoroughly about it if you are gonna raise one whether you are ready for responsibility of a kid or not.*
*Respect their comfort and feed them good. They mostly feel hot so it must always be taken care of as they can't speak for themselves.*
*Be a great parent. Form your own link with their heart and you two will soon have a language of your own which no one will understand but you will cherish it more than anything.*
*Take good care of their health and vaccination. They will lead a long life if they are given good medical attention.*
Last but not the least, they hold no grudge against you and it can't ever be one of their thought to harm you in any way. If anything, they consider you as their reason of living and so you should be one for them.

Happiness : when it hits surprisingly
Imagine you are working on a project of yours trying to make it work(in my case a computer science project) and you happen to be working late at night. All of a sudden, idea strikes your mind and you achieve it. It's the scenario with me **rn.** Though it wasn't that big a deal but I am really happy as I managed to pull it off. I shared it with my superior and have been already assigned an improvement in the same task but I still am happy to have made it work. And that's what gave me my topic for today over here, I hope you will like it.
***I have a story from my childhood to share over here :***
*Back in time when I was a kid, I had gone to my village along with my family for winter vacations. It was my seventh or sixth birthday I guess, and father was off to work to a town some 30 kms away where his office was. I was expecting a celebration but we were in village and neither the goods to organize a party nor my friends from the city were available. I was in a low mood with my father being the only light for me. He used to come in evening and I expected him to bring a cake for me. I was waiting eagerly for him to get back and was gazing the clock steadily for a hour or so.*
*Finally my wait came to an end when mom received a phone call. It was from dad and he said :* ***"I will have to stay here only because of heavy rain in this region and I will be back tomorrow evening"****. Despair gripped me as mom uttered this to me and I covered myself with sheets ready to go to sleep. As I was about to lose my consciousness to slumber,* ***dad pulled off my sheets, and with a big surprising smile on his face, he wished me birthday and I could see my mom holding birthday cake and cap for me.***
*This happiness hugged my soul and etched this incident as a sweet memory in my heart.*
***Power of this sudden merriment :***
***It fuels you up for upcoming events in your life. Rn, I am feeling very positive about working on the next task in my project.***
***Sweet memories are gonna be added in book of your life.***
***In case it comes form a person you love, it leads to outmost joy and gratitude towards them making you realize their importance in your life.***
***Its like a little perk which is much deserved and when you least expect it, it makes your smile a million times healthier.***
***It brings a change in daily schedule and a short break filled of joy is always good to re-energize your will.***
***It reminds you to be thankful to others and also maybe doing something same for them when your turn comes.***
*****Valuable return gifts :*****
***Since you are now happy because of that other person, its your moral obligation to return it with even more joy. This mutual exchange will make you more proud of yourself and will build more faith in each other and fondness of course. Just wait for your time or when it seems to be perfect as per you, maybe when they are having hard times in one hell of a roller coaster life and then the smile on their face will be something worth witnessing.***
*****How should you receive this happiness?*****
***Consider these as small toasts to the life, to give hard times a tough fight, to boost other souls for greater good and when ever it happens to you, receive it with open arms without any second thought and respect the efforts other person has put in it.***
*I have a very bad memory where situation got tangled and I spoiled a very precious birthday surprise planned by my girl :* ***"Icecream cake by the beach" something superb like song : "cake by the ocean"*** *and I regret till date having spoiled the arrangements she made. I was not being less thankful or ignorant but situation was really out of control and I couldn't accept it with all my heart and then seeing her disheartened after a day full of planning, made both of us shed tears.*
So please just be open and be super duper grateful whenever they happen to you.
Its your life, live it marvellously.

Never give up on those who love you
I have come across this title phrase so many times and it sinks graciously into my soul always. Why this phrase is something else? Why it is pushing you and judging your tenacity? Is this challenge even worth taking? I have my version of answers for these questions and of course, I want you guys to tell me whether your thoughts align on the same or you have something else to say. In any case, comment box is all yours.
*To me, the very real meaning of this single line sentence got highlighted for the first time in my life when I was by my grandma's side when she was all sick due to* ***Parkinson*** *disease which is truly a curse****. She was bedridden for 5 years of her life before she left us last year and I was always there whenever she needed me. Of course I made some mistakes and wasn't at my best always at serving her but it was always deep in my heart to never give up on her.*** *I always felt how she was the only one for me always when I couldn't even walk, talk and how she loved me more than anyone and it pushed me to put my best efforts for her sake.*
*Ever since this part of my life, this title became important to me and a part of my convictions. Now whenever it happens to be the case, I am ready to give it all I have for retrieving my lost bonds with those who have a place in my heart. I am ready to go beyond limits and face hurdles of all sorts to regain what is still important to me and if its unsatisfactory to accept it just the way it is.*
***How it kicks in?***
When you have other person's love and are attached to them at a super personal level, this phrase will show its power when something happens to them whom you care about. It may be your love for family, friends, your pet, a hobby or a passion you are crazy about which you will put extra effort in when the time comes.
***Think of some scenarios (I wish for you to never actually face them though):***
*Where a dearest friend of yours starts falling prey to an addiction and won't listen to anyone, wont you be pushed internally to somehow convince him into leaving it, wouldn't it automatically become your responsibility.*
*Imagine your sibling apparently commits a fatal act against jurisdiction and is saying repeatedly that he isn't the one behind it, wouldn't you start trusting him the very moment when he needs you the most and you can't give up on him.*
Imagine your dog falling prey to a deadly disease where odds are very less in his favor, wouldn't you sit by his side consoling home with every hope of snatching him back, kicking right in face of death.
And I can think of a million other ones but why to dreadfully bother you when I have already made my point : **"Never Give Up On Those You Love" comes into action and instincts guide you to try everything in your power to get the situation solved anyhow.**
***Is the challenge even worth taking?***
If you ask me, just dive in the flow when situation arises. You not really have to choose whether to act or not but instincts will guide you. And why it is so that you will be guided and have an intuition? **It's hidden in the phrase itself : "those who love you". They love you and you are connected on a very sophisticated level that you happen to act any ways. You will be ready to face anything to turn the odds in your favor and once it happens, it will be a happy ending. Bonds will intensify, it will forge a new strength in the connection and a enhanced understanding will rule.**
*Also, you will give birth to new memories to cherish together of how you stood adamantly for each other ready for anything and you will give a laughter of lifetime when time comes for you to recall your good days.*
Yes it will judge your tenacity but it doesn't mean for you to get offended with it as it will teach you lessons for life. Sometimes, it happens to be the case that you fail in your resolve to re establish what you had but then also, there will be a sense of satisfaction tagged with that incident in your memories and whenever you will happen to stumble upon it, you will accept it the way it happened. After all, some things are just not meant to be.
***Love will surpass,***
***And hard times shall pass......***
***Your faith and belief,***
***Will set right the mischief......***
***Ups and downs and the restless chase,***
***Will pacify your will and be settled the case......***
***You will laugh together down the memory lane,***
***And recall the times when situation was bane......***
***But then your cheeks will hurt with smile,***
***Oh how the efforts were all worthwhile......***
***The bond replenished and miseries will dissolve,***
***For you never give up on those you love<33***

Cold War in relationships
Chats are on hold, no more calls like other days, shoulders being shrugged and if anything, air is filled of uneasiness and jumbled thoughts. Ego kicking in sometimes, both sides won't give up and it's like something really bad has happened to mutual understanding which was always there earlier. Care, love, bond, thoughts everything is intact between both the parties but its the lack of communication which has occurred due to some incident. **It was my literal explanation of the term "cold war".** Since it's a dominant trait of my personality, I straightaway rage a cold war with the person who hurts me and I can tell you it's a very tight situation and no apology works till my mood aligns with it.
*****Types of participants***** ***:***
**The ever quiet :** *If the cold war is being waged, they will literally cut off and they are the ones who make it colder. They are hard to console and if the other participant wants to withdraw and make settlements, he/she is surely gonna have a hard time.*
***The settler :*** *They believe in settlement and can't stay quiet for too long for their image of being jolly fellows and forget whatever happened. They just want to get along again and are good at merry making. My sibling(brother) is the one for me.*
**The Realizer :** A brawl of some kind always precedes these kinds of conflicts. There is always those who realize their part in entire situation and are good to apologize first. Sometimes they do it even if it was a **50 50 scenario**.
**The waiter :** They just wait to be consoled or they wait for the right time and opportunity to get along again. Happy times or ones of need are always good to forget the issues earlier.
*****Isn't it worst?*****
Of course, cold war is the worst to happen in any kind of relationship. The main reason why they are mental torture : "**there is a sense of unsettlement and the decision is in pending state until the next exchange of words. Meanwhile if days pass by, it starts pestering how we were all super cozy together and how the distance is being maintained now".** Though nobody is willing to give up but there are always second thoughts and grudges deep in hearts. **In this very context only, there is a personal episode of me any my dad which I would like to mention and to my surprise, it continued for seven days and even after being in the same house, we both asked mom about each other's whereabouts(lol). My father finally broke the silence.** So the care and love and bond persists but the act of expressing oneself to the other guy fails and it gives rise to thoughts and pending judgements only. I wonder how hard it would get for those to get hit by this, who are a family of two only and live together away from home at their jobs. They sure would cope with a lifestyle of pressure and cold silence in their now **so called rest hours.**
*****My opinion***** ***:***
Yeah you guessed it right, we are back to **my blog my opinion thing** lol :
*****Make settlements***** ***:*** *Its nothing bad to say sorry first, even if you are not at fault or are have your part only a bit, it will show your calm state of mind and gratitude toward the other person for being in your life. It will show them how important they are to you and may bring a realization of their mistake also(I myself try to follow this sometimes and I am improving).*
*****Inevitable but avoidable***** ***:*** *When you get caught in one and you really can't get over, think about happy memories you guys have made together so far and maybe, scroll your gallery for your captured and recorded moments. Those glimpses will push you to make merry. Be ready for other person's resentment and coldness as they aren't in the same state of mind as you are but make them understand how you feel about the situation in a calm way.*
*****Give it a break maybe***** ***:*** *If its too severe and you both can't kick it off, give it some time to settle, time always heals wound and then you can cover for the damage inflicted by your love and oneness. Though I wouldn't encourage to be at war and let time decide for you but it can't be ignored in some cases.*
*****Pre analysis***** ***:*** *If you work on your temper, it will always be very very beneficial and a person not losing his calm is always better to have a interaction with. Try to analyse the situation when you are almost getting in a clash and maybe, it can be avoided even before it happens(I myself have tried this with my brother).*
**My finishing words are always happy ones and today too I go like** : Be it any kind of conflict in a relation, love bears the power to heal it and when it's between those who respect having each other by their side with all their soul, conflicts bring a greater understanding once it gets over. Its like a fierce rain which brings a bloom to Earth when it gets over. But how it gets over is all up to you, after all you are the one who is making adjustment and are at loss of losing someone temporarily like they never were. Better early than waiting and never give up on those who matter.

When its gets busy
Writing at this hour(1 am ) in India so, you can easily make out what this title means. Business whole day and tired body after workout dying for a sound sleep, its pretty much my life these days. After this corona curse, life is centered in a room only with laptop in front of my eyes : yes its hard being a CS graduate. Internship, classes, studies, and a little bit of entertainment, all goes on before screen and believe me its tiring at mental level. I always used to sleep for 9 hrs or so but I barely sleep 6 hrs these days( I am trying to apply for jobs which needs study and working as intern at same time). I also workout in evening and attend online sessions afterward so as to get work from my senior under which I am interning.
***But why did I tell you all this? Is all this even worth listening? Isn't it depressing? My answer : I am trying to cope up with pressure on cost of my comfort to learn something new and I try to keep myself motivated by telling myself that it will be a learning experience and I will gain a lot to put up in my skills. I am upgrading myself for better positions in future and a handsome job. It's been a week only but I am trying my best to get a hang of this style of living.***
***Enough with the "me centric" chitchat....***
Moving to what pushed me most to jot it down and share with you guys, I want to share what keeps me on track and helpers who are always there for me :
**Family :** This word(family) is my world. They are crazy fellas transcending beyond what we say natural and term as supernatural in area of efforts to help me. They are always by my side and respect my deadlines, environment and work. If anything, they motivate only.
**Love :** Power of love has made me its believer a very long time ago already and since the day, I have cherished it with my soul. Those words from her propel me towards greater good and she is so selfless while it comes to giving space and room for my business. She is busy too but manages to smile like sunshine whenever we get to video conference.
**My canine son : Harry, since it happened to me, I am on cloud 9**. Whatever be going in my life, he just wags and comes by me to get pats, all of it fades. When ever I hug that mighty german shepherd, it is something so heavenly that I feel so calm and healed.
***Workout : Though its tiring physically,*** *but a light workout schedule is best to get your blood flow right and affects your performance.*
**Colleagues and friends :** Humble nature of my intern recruiter and my friends keeps me going and aiming big.
*****What I need to work on?*****
***I sure am not getting a good sleep in days and I look forward to set it right.***
***My focus is weak and I need to be more concentrated to gain more optimally out of the time I invest.***
***I am still not habitual of taking pressure and this lifestyle but for corporate sector, I need to be accustomed to it.***
***My sitting posture is something I am working on too as I sit for long hours in front of screen but my back is bent mostly. Hopefully I will set it right soon.***
*I just shared it because I felt like and also, its my writing time. If you find some takeaways, you are most welcome.*
*Also, be busy but never forget giving time to yourself. You are the best company to yourself. Invest your time and efforts smartly while making other's life better at the same time.*
*Thanks for reading!!!!!!<33333*

Moving to a new city
A new place changes everything. With change in environment, many other factors change. You meet all new people following a new city's culture, different means of transportation, nature of people, natural environment and a whole lot of other things which are to be setup : school, work and housing etc.
I will bring light upon this example with a personal experience of mine. I moved to **Dehradun(India)** some **150 kms** away form **Sringar** where I used to live till 2010. On eve of 31st, I was almost about to reach here. Unlike the city where I used to live earlier, **Dehradun** is way bigger and capital of state I live in. On my way here on new year's eve, I witnessed whole city wrapped in beautiful lights welcoming new year and it was the first time for me seeing a city this large illuminated in colors of joy.
*****Changes I witnessed and you can relate to :*****
*****Changed natures of people:***** *As in my case or maybe most of them, I witnessed that people in big cities are far less involved with other's life and they tend to mind their own business while back at my older city, people were lot involved with others.*
*****Diversity***** ***:*** *Rich diversity of people from different parts of country is something common to witness in big cities but as in many other cases, I have always experienced people from particular regions only.*
*****Transport***** ***:*** *Means of transport depend on terrain. According to the geography of the place and connections to other cities, you may witness railways, airways and animal pulled vehicles in cities where farming is done in abundance in India.*
*****Playgrounds***** ***:*** *I used to play football and was always fond of open grounds filled with players in eve but in new city, I experienced grounds scattered far away and not in reach of every one. It was all filled with houses*
*****Food***** ***:*** *There was variety of food available here. Some restaurants even offered international cuisines but I didn't even know many of them yet.* ***What fascinated me was diversity of people bringing diversity in food.***
*****Language***** ***:*** *Of course everyone followed* ***Hindi language(India's National Language)*** *but its the dialect that was worth noticing. Everyone had their own version of the National language and new words were there to learn every now and then.*
*****Geography of place***** ***:*** *I moved from a hilly town to a city in plains and it was a big change.*
*****Weather***** *: Surrounded by rich variety of flora and fauna this place has a very pleasant weather and rains are dominant. Whenever it feels too hot, it rains. It is something my old city lacked in. It was very hot in summers and cold like hell in winters back there though it was very beautiful. You may notice this change easily enough.*
*****Major challenges :*****
***Settling down at new place is heck of a challenge itself :***
*****Housing***** ***:*** *Securing accommodation is a real deal in a new place. Either you have your own house ready or you have to rent one. In my case, back then, we rented a place with the help of a good friend of Dad's, prior to the time we shifted.*
*****School***** *: Admission in new school for your kids is gonna be a challenge too. You need to select perfect one from a variety of choices and for this, you need friends to discuss to.*
*****Socializing***** *: You sure do need new friends in new place so as to help you get comfortable with surroundings and they can help you with a number of things like telling you perfect places to buy goods, best snack corners, schools, hospitals etc..and of course, they aren't only for helping you but for making new moments of your own.*
*****Getting used to transport***** ***:*** *For travelling places within city, you need to know routes and means of transportation native to the place.*
*****Getting used to environment***** *: Change in atmosphere, environment asks for your body to get comfortable with it. Some things might not suit you but you need to get accustomed and it gradually happens with time mostly.*
*****My city Dehradun***** ***:***
*****Srinagar, where I lived before 2011 :*****
***I wish you settle and manage things nicely, befriend a lot of people and make your mark in new place. As for me, we now have our own house here and I am really very glad that dad got transferred here.***
***New place bring new changes and challenges and I wish for your share of experiences to be beautiful and awesome.***

Her Birthday
Its that one single day for which you are excited even more than your own birthday, isn't it so, lovers in the house? Yeah you guessed it right, its her birthday, your girl's.
I am writing it from a man's perspective but ladies can relate too. So, it's perfect if I write it down in a college scenario. You don't have much money and its still 2-3 months for her birthday. Yeah you guessed it right, now we will save like we never ever did for us, after all its her birthday. It's not like we didn't get money often from here and there and have needs of our own but it's just that now is the time to show her how special she is and why not when there is a motivation as bigh
***Every single penny matters :***
***Saving from pocket money, earned through buttering mother, borrowed form siblings or maybe friends, earned from read.cash, gave up all time cravings for pizza and what not. A million sacrifices and why not, that smile on her face and that on gift for her is worth thousand gunshots taken on chest.***
***Its not only money that you seek :***
*Deciding a gift for her, one hell of a headache. A thousand thoughts popping in mind, I am not good at shopping, what if she doesn't like but just accept for the sake of respect for feelings, what if this the dress is oversized, which brand she would prefer, how should it be wrapped and chaos replacing calm with every thought.* *OHHHH i need help but she can't help this time and she is all I ask for whenever I am stuck.* ***She is my great escape from all the pain and what not. So yeah she deserves it all, I will brainstorm, I will conclude on my own, I might take suggestions from other girls but wait no, I want to prove myself worthy of buying something she likes for her. Its me after all who will bear her for rest of my life.***
***And I would like to add here that stay motivated, she really wants something from you and no one else, something you consider perfect for her, something in which you invested your time to think about, collected money for, pondered upon and this way, you will have sweet stories of confusion and decision to talk about afterwards with her.***
*****A generous letter :*****
*OHHH c'mon she deserves it all. Money shouldn't be the only thing you are gonna spend for her, it should be intellect and feelings along with it.* ***A beautiful page brought to life with power of pen to carve your heart out on it, what else will make it more thrilling and a tinge of 90s is always appreciated.*** *She is romantic, she is gonna like it and this is what most of us have thought or done to get her precious appreciation on her day. And her smile ohhh that contagious smile will make you feel like the happiest person on earth.*
*****Charm is in the cake :*****
***Who is gonna wanna leave any stone unturned? A small party, decoration for auspicious day and above all, your efforts in making it a reality. Won't she be throwing out smile of lifetime. Also, spending time with her is must and its what you both enjoy. After small party with everyone, a little walk down favorites of our routes will give the trick. Looking her eye in eye, receiving all the love for what you did for her at the same time loving her exponentially as its special day and its vibes will fascinate you to fall over again. You sure wouldn't wanna leave her hand down that route.***
*To all the lovely souls out there, embrace, cherish, celebrate, prosper and see your smile in her smile. She has lost another year of her life, only you can save her from feeling that by making her feel the special of all. You sure were waiting for your turn, make it perfect. Whatever resources you have, make optimal use of them but don't let the day go waste. Smile together, smile for each other and be each other's, live the moment.*

Precious experiences
Yet another day and another article from me. I am really in love with posting over here. Of all the work I have, here I am following my daily rule of writing one.
This time, it is about a different type of asset. Its neither our favorite **BCH** nor **traditional money but experiences which we gain throughout the course of our life.** These are something which we can really call our own and are precious teachings for others. If you have led a amazing life, you will surely be asked about events that happened in your past, its these experiences only which will help you narrate your past.
*****What are experiences worth sharing(as per me) :*****
You have to live an exemplary life to be share what you have gained in your journey or they will be worthless or of little use to anyone. Although, one thing is there, your grandchildren will always want to now in their early ages, what you were like but for them also, it will be so good to know your past if you have led an achiever's life. They may even try to step into your shoes by taking up your life as their ideal picture and you as their role model.
***By a achiever's life, I don't mean for you to be a billionaire or some hotshot. It's actually very small things having meaning like your own share of failures and successes :***
***How you learned from your failures and conquered them to succeed in your vision. You should be knowing the convictions you lived by all of your life and how they were best for you and other.***
***How you were a perfect lover to their granny, a family man and a shield like presence for all of the younger ones.***
***The figure you had amongst your friends and how you are being admired for that till date.***
***Angry brawls with siblings and which one were you amongst them, the one who provokes(naughty one) or one who acts(angry one)?***
***Risks you took and what other options you had, moments when you were wrong or were wronged and of course, memories of your first love.***
***Your religious beliefs, work life, money you earned, compromises you made and how they were in good of others.***
***All the awesome adventurous trips you made, plans you could never execute and learnings from those trips which could be of use to them.***
***Your favorite people, favorite food back in the days and those who are still with you all the way to the end.***
***There are many other things as I am talking about a lifetime here but you should have your own book of principles and how they worked for you. There is always something worth sharing if not big business talks, your humble nature or sweet smile and jolly image of youth and many such things will work for you.***
***As for us, we can carry with us our crypto fortune and the knowledge we gained about it in life time.***
*****Some personal ones(so far I am in early 20s only :-) :*****
*I will not get carried away and share only major ones here.*
***My grandmother :*** *She was love of my life, its her experiences only with which I grew and it makes my eyes wet whenever she comes to my mind now. The love I received with her hands raised to bless me always, it is really really precious for me.*
***A debate victory :*** *It was in 7th standard when I won a debate on state level and it was a big thing for me.*
***A small reward :*** *Appreciation with a sum of money for my performance in final school exams.*
***Happy parents :*** *Of course mom dad were happy with all my achievements and it is always best experience to make them proud in some way.*
***My pet :*** *My canine son, a fluffy german shepherd is one of the best things which ever happened to me, and is loyalty is something I won't forget till my last breath.*
*I would not comment about love. lol !!*
***Sibling :*** *How I am blessed with the best of brothers.*
***College :*** *It was an experience full of love, friendship, tech and bonds for life. I would never really wanna forget it.*
***Trip for lifetime :*** *A trip sponsored by college with whole of the college onboard visiting all over India in a period of 20 days and best thing we really paid nominal amount for it.*
***Read.cash :*** *How I started my own blog, started pursuing my passion over here and got in the world of crypto.*
***Worklife :*** *As of this, I am placed with a tech company and haven't joined yet but first job is worth remembering always.*
*If you live by rules, principles and charm of your own, you will gain good people and in this social web of a world, people are great asset to have. It's with a group of people that most of memories are made. And for rest, it all depends on how early you start with your goal in your mind and your dedication and determination for it.*
Earn your share of precious experiences and I wish for you a life of pride, health and wisdom.

Relationships : The Metamorphosis
Entropy of universe keeps on increasing. Change is inevitable truth and you witness it in every walk of life. Be it your physical or intellectual growth, environment around you or if we take a bigger picture, glacier reserve on earth, everything changes with time. Love being one of the natural phenomena is also not untouched of this cycle of change
**Since the auspicious proposal day to present times, many things surely would have changed in you both as a couple and generally. This article portrays that lovely metamorphosis the sense of belongingness brought about in you.**
***A queer uneasiness :*** *Since you love someone now, there is strange feeling whenever they are around. You can't be just another person with them. You also aren't able to control yourself and at the very same time, you want to be best version of yourselves. There are all the people around whom your friends can associate your name with but that one name whenever brought up, renders your cheeks red. You die for their one glance, whenever you guys meet, nervousness is there and you also are conscious of your actions. You seek for each other's interests and want to know their favorites, food, color, clothes and many other things. You want to know everything there is to know about them and also the secrets which they have buried deep inside their heart and consider them their very personal assets.* ***You both write the fresh pages of love with the inks of you own.***
***Getting along and those gestures :*** *It slowly takes hold of you and soon you start addressing each other with names of your own. You exchange small presents very often, try to surprise each other to fullest trying to put every single effort in whatever you do, their birthdays become you own, your girl steals your clothes and compatibility grows. Earlier you were always asking what you would like to eat but now it's like you can guess their preferences. You get to know more personal things like each other's families. It's this time only when you have started making memories of your own, kisses are exchanged more frequently(first kiss being the best memory), hugs are the best part after a tiring day and you two have your favorite places(to eat, sit and visit) all around your town now. Her dates become your thing now and you know what she needs when she is having cramps.*
*If anything, you prefer to be together most of the times to explore each other more and more though you need to adjust as per your life and work.*
*Since it's not so long when you started being together, some statements of your partner may hurt your sentiments, sometimes cold wars happen but once they get over, you get a new perspective, a new thing to know about each other and also, you can now judge the strength of your bond and whether you are happy in it or not? It's always the efforts you place in the relationship that act as decisive factor for happiness of your partner and love between the two of you.*
*You start understanding each other's gestures, you want to be on top of their priority list, you expect them to know what you are up to and know that they are the one whom you can pursue whenever you are having harsh times.*
***Maturity :*** *A couple reaches here after they have experienced most of the scenarios(ordeals & happiest times) and have won over them with the strength of their bond. Maturity of emotions, secrets being exchanged, promises of lifetime have been made probably and what not. They understand you through the nature of your glance as they are perfect decoders of the way your eyes communicate.*
*Getting mature at surprises is new thing now. Their expressions won't tell you a thing when they are up to a surprise plan now, you will just know when it takes place. You may feel them being lazy and unexpressive of their love but in a moment,* ***boom, and the surprise tells you all, how nothing has changed but if anything, it has grown stronger.*** *You probably consider them a part of you now, you are perfect chat(gossip, decision, recreation) mates now and love the way how you have gained that one most important person of your life who is carved out to be just perfect for you(like something planned in heaven). It's the time you guys have decided to submit oneself to each other and look forward to the bigger picture of spending rest of your lives together.*
**There are phases beyond these and a million other things I couldn't mention here but tenacity to your other half till the end of their times is constant and love grows everyday if it's the perfect match. A single second won't pass when you won't think of them and everyone will see you in high regards for your belongingness and promises to each other.**
**All those who are really happy with their perfect one, just a friendly reminder, nurturing the seed of love and watering it constantly is your duty for the rest of your lives now and in time, it's shade will protect you against the times when life makes turns towards scorch things and hatred.**
*Celebrate the feeling and all of the lovers sure do have a box of the mementos you received in your journey(I am talking about the actual things like cards, love letters you have), just have a look at it again and let the widest of your smiles take over.*
*Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!*
Not just another day, a short story
It happened again today, he got drunk and couldn't control himself. Its his pain and addiction that sucks humanity out of him and you can witness him loosing himself to **Satan** in those unruly fits of alcohol. Many times he dozes off on stairs and **old maid Jessa's** shoulders are being put to good use along with loyal **Ruby** guiding them in his own way.
**"Got him under the sheets finally",** he should understand that my muscles have had enough already. Come ruby, its way past bed time already, he will play with you tomorrow.
*OHHH it hurts, my head will burst any time. Not much of a good morning that's for sure. This hangover will kill me if I lie like this anymore. Jess, plz get some lime plz plz and don't call dad again.* *****To himself***** *: I wish I had put dad's money to some good use. But living by myself do have some perks after all.*
**Jessa : Here, drink it up!! And don't act so cool, I might be a maid only but I have been here for so many years now and every since your Dad went overseas, you have been deteriorated all by your own efforts.**
*Oh plz just don't get started again. Love you jess, I am starving too, can't remember what I had last night. Can you get me something to eat? Where is my ruby, I miss him like anything......*
**Jessa : You are getting ignorant of him. He wags crazily always till you get home and it's so sad to see his face after finding you like that. He still tries but can't find his owner in a drunkard.**
*You are being hard on me. I love* ***Rubsyyy*** *more than anyone around. He is my darling, my sweetheart. I will get him for a long walk today and maybe some ice cream to repent. Is that okay* ***ruby, now come here, be a good boy. Happy now, Jess?Hey!!!! stop eating my shoe. What??? Now you will punish me too?***
**Jessa : Now get up and be tidy, I will get you something. Ever since she left, you have immersed yourself in ......**
*Enough jess, why do you have to bring her up again and again. I don't want anything, come ruby get your leash****(slams the door)****.*
***(Tying shoe laces in despair)****Ain't you my perfect companion, you know how to make me smile even when I am at my worst. Let's go get something from subway first or I will die and later we will go to my* ***old man's Daffodil Barn to play.***
**Jessa : (mumbling) I have grown old and wish to set him right before I am done here, is it too much to ask for? This alcohol was already his favorite and now that she has parted ways, it's getting hellish here. But what was her fault anyways? Any sane person would quit. She stood by till she could, hitting her while drunk, it's surely too much for a innocent professor to take for sure. It was a big shame for me to even witness, I wonder what toll it had brought on her?**
**God knows where he is headed to now. I need to talk to Mr. Singh right away. Only he can help us now.**
*It's so good here always. These animals are so carefree, feeding on green grass like it's their last day on Earth.* ***Go!!! catch it ruby!!!!!! Jess*** *is so mean always. Why she never respects my space? Am I still too much obsessed with* ***Sheena?*** *I don't even remember exactly what happened that night but I surely didn't hit her... Aghhh or maybe I did but it sure wasn't me, it was all* ***Jack D*** *and she could have gone easy on me. I sure do miss her but* ***Jess is so evil to bring it up. I just couldn't confront anyone for that(mumbling a million things while playing & frustration taking over again).***
*Ughhhh!!! I decided to never go back there again but what if it feels lonely at night? What if the A-sized bed feels icy cold and freezes me to death(****liquor feels like the only refuge, it's always good to dilute pain with mixing some of it in : goes to bar).***
*Rubsyyyy, you stay out here and wait(leashes dog outside), I will be back in no time. It's so cozy in here, familiar faces all sharing their pain. Oh!! I so wanna be a part. Today, I will cry my heart out. Hey* ***Jack(bartender), fill me up buddy, I am in for a big bang today.***
**(In trip now) Do you know she left me? (somewhere in crowd) Don't get started again you loser? Come again(he said in a tipsy voice)!!!!! (From crowd again) shut up you loser.....(Escalating things) I am gonna kick your butts hard today!!!!**
**Crowd gathered, rushed at him, heavy fists pounding his body. They aren't even aiming before hitting....Blood gushes out of his nose, he shrieks in pain in half conscious state. Mutilated body lying on the floor(lights fading quickly).**
*(Gets up next morning, bruises all over his body) Where am I? Ouchhhhhh!!!! I don't remember shit....This is strange!!! My head hurts, this is crap, Deja vu is an old story now....OHMYGOOOOOOODDDDDDDD(shrieks in pain as he lifts his hand up). What is going on?* ***Jess come over her please. I am dying (A tall bald man in shiny tuxedo with a stylishly maintained grey beard emerges from behind the curtains hanging flawlessly. His shoe's shine, well pressed clothes and neat like anything and above all his sturdy build was evidence of the discipline he follows. Awkward eye contacts takes place)****.*
**Jess : (Sensing the building tension in air) Here I am. Did you called out for me son?**
*Hey old man, long time no see(trying to control all the pain and after effects of heavy drinking). When did you get here? How are things back in UK? How are deals going? Any new clients?(Bombarding his dad with all sorts of questions, after all fatal injuries are to be presented as casual ones so as to put up a good story of how it happened).*
**Mr. Singh : Long time no see son. Got here yesterday morning only. There was an urgent meeting which couldn't wait so I had to hurry all my way. Thought to surprise you as well. What about all these injuries? How did you get them? Blood wrapped bandages, am I here to see my son like that?**
*Oh these! They are nothing. (Quickly thinking of a story) Didn't Jess tell you, me and rubsyy went of to barn? Horses broke free of stable and there was a serious mess all over the Daffodils abruptly. Nothing to worry, doc said nothing serious, prescribed meds and bed rest. Btw old man, you need to tighten your dear horses back at barn, especially that* ***Badal,*** *he kicked me almost dead yesterday.*
**Mr. Singh : Oh I see!!! Take care in that case, I will ask doc to visit you everyday. Where is ruby btw? I haven't seen him since I got here. Not by the main gate, also not in his favorite lawn by small pond. Is he at roof?**
*(Air getting dense suddenly, sweat appears on his forehead within a matter of seconds, throat drying strangely like someone just wringed all the water in a millisecond)* ***Oh shittttt!!!*** *(talking to himself : I made a mess. How could I be so careless? I lost him. I lost another love. My selfishness got him. Only he understood me always, no one had enough time for me, he never came up with any wise words when I messed up, those belly rubs were like having* ***Sheena*** *by me again, Oh my lovely soul where are you now? What have I done). I lost him (starts crying loudly, thinking of all the happiest memories they made together makes his throat choke, even the thought that he can't ever see that face again makes him suicidal. Unbearable pain of losing* ***Sheena*** *took hold of him again and* ***Ruby's*** *intensifies it to the degrees beyond human limits of bearing).* ***I can't lose him dad, he was always there for me. I am undeserving son, a failed husband and now I have lost my only friend(****Trying hard to speak every single word, it feels like his head will burst)****. You always told me to look by myself but I couldn't manage a single thing unlike you. I am a shame for your last name. I just want him back dad, I won't touch liquor ever again. I wish god listens me for this one last time.***
**Mr. Singh : (Grave expressions on his old man's face, hands tied together. It seems like he is trying to draw out some meaning from the situation. Leaves room suddenly). Bye!! I thought you would change but leaving this place up to you did no good. I wanted you to be responsible for your actions, for this place's well being. Hope you will look after yourself finely now.(Exits these being his last words).**
(Shivering badly struggling hard to utter the words out)Dad please don't go, I need your help. Daaaaaaaaaaad please(Shrieks crying hardly now. The pain from bruises being neglected as the wound being inflicted on heart is next to death). Dad please(crying as he says) I know I failed you, please don't go(all sort of realizations falling upon him but it feels like it's so late to redeem himself).
***As he falls prey to a severe bruise's agony, a brown hairy face comes towards him running with a packet held in mouth, wagging tail at sharp rpms, huge fluffy body covered all with silky hair, seems like a messenger of god approaching him whose tag reads "LOVELY RUBSY". He lets his position compromised so as to wake up with the bruise's pain if he is hallucinating but to his surprise, Ruby is by bed now and is asking for his hands to caress him, a pure bond they always shared.***
***His old man standing in distance like a savior seeing both of them reuniting, a sense of pride in his eyes sheathed with harsh cover formed due to sheer negligence of his son but assured that this time its gonna work. It will bring about a change unlike anything ever did since his mother left and he dropped his intellectual prowess(business tycoon he was) for shifting to the lowlife of a drunkard and growing more on the dark side ever since Sheena left him too. This time his old man believes that Ruby will bring all of it back, reunion of love will pull his son out of the abyss of darkness.....after all, love is the strongest remedy for pain.***
**Jessa : Thank god I called you Mr. Singh!! If you wouldn't have followed them to farm secretly, dear Rubsy would have never been rescued. I guess I can die whenever I want now.**
**Mr. Singh : Well Jessa, it seems that I know my son pretty well.**

Small mementos : What's their worth after all?
My question here is, **are you appreciating everyone enough?**
In the long run of our life, many people pay their contributions to make it a happy one and make your day a bliss. Similarly, we are the one who does this for some other person. This web of interdependence is a major factor in a human's life as it makes our work efficient and brings trust and reliance between the helper and the one getting help. **Just think about a day back in you school days, if one day, you got up and didn't find mom to help you get ready, how will it impact you all day long, if not all day, it will make you tense at the very moment and you might even miss the school bus because you always relied on her.**
When you acknowledge someone for their efforts, it brings positivity in the environment and strengthens love and understanding between humans. **Even animals understand the language of appreciation : if a stray dog barks on stranger outside your house and you feed them the very moment and pat them, they will be yours for lifetime(I am surely not saying that you should feed strays only when they do so, helping them in anyway is godly act).**
*A very live example of this is our platform read.cash. Whenever we write, we expect comments and upvotes and getting them brings a super wide smile and fuels up to write more.*
***Events of life which might go unnoticed & you can*** ***bring about impactful change by gratitude:***
***You in mumma's arms mark the start of your chapter on this planet so why not start the change with her only.*** Without mom, all of your daily activities will be impacted so adversely, you will know the pain of her work in that single day only. So if you aren't giving her enough credit, start appreciating even smallest of tasks she does for you. From preparing your breakfast to watching you doze off, she leaves no stone unturned. Be thankful and acknowledge her for smallest of her actions for you.
***Your siblings who always got your back whenever you are stuck.*** From passing a glass of water to being your partner of crime in every mischief, siblings are true blessings. Many of your works get easy with their presence, how you handle things at home 50-50 whatever chore is to be done, how they get you food when you are stuck writing article on desk and a million other scenarios come to my mind when I think of it. So, stop being so selfish and give some really warm appreciation to them.
**Dad.** As we listen this word, a magnificent image comes to our mind who is always protecting us and is at a loss of expressing himself and his troubles are all his own. **He is the one who should be awarded with the mementos of love every now and then.**
**Your friends and colleagues.** How can wheel of life work smoothly if there were none of friends. Be it you birthday, bunks, trips, snack time, partying, help in setting up your crush and most importantly pretty much any work you are up to, you can ask them for help anytime. They are just like family. They deserve your appreciation **in a friendly language though.**
Workplaces are incomplete without colleagues who work round the clock with you for meeting the deadlines and mutual help is there at every step. Don't you think that you should add the flavor of **recognition of their importance in their lives.**
**Pretty much everyone around you. Oh c' mon,** small portion of your time invested in crediting someone won't kill you. *From the start of your day, be thankful to the janitor who cleans the streets, god for giving you food and a happy life, you pet for being so awesome and loyal always, your classmate who always reserves a seat for you, all those person you rely on in you neighborhood, green plants who provide you oxygen(****stop thinking have author gone nuts. Just appreciate them by watering them).***
***~~And as I go on naming ones whom you can be regardful to, this can become the highest read time article here.~~***
***If you are still thinking why is it necessary?***
**Newton's third law :** You will notice people adopting same approach toward you and thus contributing to global harmony. Also, some of them might stay the same, **you can show them this piece of work by me.**
**Personality enhancement :** By following this practice, you will add attribute of being grateful and it's something highly praised in the society.
**Help :** You will have people around you who know you as a acknowledger. And a person who knows how to thank others is always more favorable to lend a hand to.
**Happy place :** By crediting those around you, no matter who they are, you are making this world a happy place and that one person **a proud person** as they did a good job of helping someone in such a busy day.
**Jolly good fellow : Since people admire you now for your behavior, be ready to be known by this nick name.**
*****What are these small mementos actually?*****
A helping hand for your mom whenever you are free and see her grinding herself at household chores.
Very small gifts whatever you can afford at present stage of your life. If you are working and earning, well and good else you can spare enough money for candies always.
**Tips in money as well as commodities can be offered to** those serving us at many places like restaurants, cleaning facilities and pretty much anyone who you see in need and have a will to help out. Just appreciate them for their importance.
Water plants, get your pet a ice cream or if short on money just play with them to fullest, be humble to your elders in house(grandma grandpa) as no one was more involved with you when you were a kiddo than them and like these only, you can think of million mementos of your choice.
***Mementos are yours to think about and you can think of a million but that contagious smile you will spread is related to everyone here.***
***Learn from read.cash(random rewarder), it never leaves an opportunity to make us smile with generous crypto upvotes.***

Ideology of giving it a shot
Its the moment we stop giving it all we have, **we fail.** Whether you are satisfied with yourself or not, depends on whether you gave it a shot or not. The point I am trying to make here is about the passion we have, which we wanna pursue or in case we were not clear in the past about our choice, we should also give it a chance. I will explain what I wanna say with the scenarios below and then you can relate yourself to anyone and in case you already are after your dream, **that's the spirit.**
***Stuck with a career oriented course but not of your choice?***
Right after school, maybe you weren't clear about what to pursue and you got in a course just on the basis of advices. Your mind is always freaked out every now and then about the outcome. But is there any day you decided to try it, decided to give it your best. Maybe it will change the perspective you had, also, you might explore a new you who always had a talent for this thing but never were aware of that. **There are always two ways to develop interest for something. One is to have a passion for it and the other is trying it out and developing something for it. So, at least stick to second one before you really wanna give up. And whenever you try just get immersed in it fully for a while.**
Also, when you join an institution, there are a number of activities going on other than your course. You can explore as much of them as you can and maybe then, you can find out exactly what you are cut out for. **Debates, writing skills, dramatics, sports, culinary skills and various other fields are there which are costly shots but not too far if you have got it in you.**
*Passionate but not enough resources?*
In this case, you know it in you heart that you can't afford to give up but it needs financial support. So, find something to support yourself first and it's best if you start early working on that one support beam that's gonna aid your **rampage to the stars**. Never stop believing in yourself, and one day you will have it. Its always better to gain victory after hardships, then you have the real taste of it. **Real life example : I know a friend who is into music production but needs gadgets he can't afford but it's not too late if he raises money on his own by first earning through a job and he is trying for it.**
Another approach can be to shine at that one opportunity which will provide you all you need to kickoff. By the opportunity here, I mean the events which take place to motivate the talent all across globe. **If writing is your thing, online platforms are there where awards are provided to winners, if its singing : go for reality shows on television or maybe start from your local environment by influencing those who love the music, if its analytical ability : hone your skills online and apply for all sorts of olympiads, brainy events out there and avail crazy scholarships and like this only, there are numerous events if you try finding out.**
*Feel stuck with your job unsatisfactorily?*
Well, now you might be thinking that it's too late and this is the dead end any now I will have to go to the same work with grumpy soul. But again **aren't you giving up so soon. If you are willing, you may try any of these :**
Freelancing on platforms like upwork, fiver etc. Make your own profile as per you skills and you can switch your job to it fulltime after you become a stable earner on these platforms over 3-4 years.
Various nano degree programs are available online. Also, various certification courses are available and if you wanna get a promoted position in same job, upgrad and many other similar destinations are there for you all on your laptop only.
You can try stocks and crypto market too. It's never late to earn some money on places like read.cash, publish0x and many other. Since I joined, I have come across so many great profiles making there fortune over here.
If you are a creator or collector, NFTs might be your thing, give them a shot maybe you are the next millionaire.
Don't follow anyone like sheep. You have your own picture to paint and you sure will rock. Hard times teach a lot and if you just have the **let it be attitude, it's something that will really pull you down the stairs.**
Maybe the solutions I provided in my post aren't that optimal but the motive is to make you aware of your potential and **ideology of giving it a shot.**
**Risk factors, failures, bad days, emotional breakdowns and people trying to hold you back are some major inevitabilities of trying to go for a change but if anything, they will teach you lessons for life.**
***Cope with pressure and you will shine like diamond.***
*Just don't give up on yourself and keep trying, exploring. Times may be harsh on you but you never know what's under the sheets of fate unless you make an effort to unfold them.*

Friendship : Invaluable emotion
All these years passed by since I was a toddler. Going through all the phases, there was one thing in common, **people.** Not just any other people but those with whom I shared a connection through some form of interaction and it's pretty much true for anyone, they have people around whether they're rich or poor, people always exist. Their natures may differ : **caring or hateful, cheering or demotivating, friendly as heaven or foes like hell but it's among these crowd only who will cling to you with a tenacity to bring out the best of you until your chapter ends here.** These are those people only who give the word "**friendship"** an emotional or rather **spiritual** touch to it. **Yes you call them "friends".**
**Friendship** can be considered as the very first soothing interaction between any two people. Right from birth, mom befriends kid when she can't even guess what they are up to and a while later, their friendship strengthens to degrees of immortality. **Even when we are grown up, dad often says consider me you friend and tell me what's the thing? Don't you think why dads say so? Isn't it because its a symbol of comfort and warmth and tells us that there are some kind of secrets only friends can know.** Right at this moment, if you give it a thought, your own secrets with friends, it will bring a smile to your face.
***How they become so important :***
From early school days, you get along with many kiddos and some of them explicitly match your vibe and mostly, one of them is so compatible that you even become inseparable. As you grow up, its always that a very few keep in touch and for rest of them, **you have sweetest of memories of how you played millions of crazy games together counting till hundred for everyone to hide, chasing friends and taking pause when you get exhausted, jumping-rope being your all time favorite and many games which don't even exist in classic books of games for children and are from nowhere but your collective imaginations.**
The higher classes raise the bar for this word called friendship. This is the part when you know who pushes you positively, knows you better than anyone and is there for you when no one dares to. Also, you have a lot more to share ; **secret crushes no one knows about, extra classes after school, plans for outing on vacations every now and then, visiting each other's place and knowing families too, exams as villains, bunks and above all, happiness in each other's joy.** Living through each other's lives, they become important for life and by the time school ends, they've already made their spots in heart which will be carried away to the graves.
**College phase is really something else. Professional environment nurturing a connected setup and friendship giving meaning to life again.** The best of the friendships are made in college. By this time, we really need people to rely on. Parents aren't there especially in hostel setup for academics. From sharing rooms to having all the meals together, attending classes to making projects together and sleeping to the songs of favorite artists, participating in the college events and team sports, we all end up knowing things as personal as bathroom schedule. **It's the level when we know a person's heart and can read their mind like an open book. Promises are made to be there for each other always and trips of lifetimes are planned. They get connected to soul and when you leave college, you automatically become to be family friends. They become so important as they know you at microscopic level.**
***Something to take away*** *:*
***Though I am no spiritual guru to teach you about friendship but I am the one who have had a huge load of his share of experiences.***
Never break the bro code.
Don't spoil your bond over worthless fights and since they are inevitable, talk through them with calm intellect. Such experiences strengthen the bond to an even better state.
Never lie to these all time best supporters of yours.
Your real value is when you dare to stay by their side when no one can.
Be the adamantium link among your friends rather than the loose chain between them.
Enjoy their growth and wish for their wellbeing always.
Push them for best and support much as you can.
Mutual growth is something that can be achieved fruitfully by working together and setting goals thus attaining teamwork skills out of precious bonds.
Show your trust in them even if they don't trust themselves and it will bring the widest of smiles on your face when they will shine.
***Graduating college together brings tears and forges even stronger chains of faith.***
Enjoy and cherish your tribe.
***Plan trips of lifetime, Do adventures being partners in crime....***
***Always support even if its a dime, bond shall prosper and pain sublime<33333***
**Thanks for reading!!! Celebrate this invaluable emotion and your crazy homies.**

Read.cash : Why is it best & my journey
I stumbled upon read.cash only five months ago when I was immersed in crypto exploration. I was simply amazed by the idea of having a first hand experience with crypto by writing informative, entertaining and variety of blog posts. I didn't really knew how the tipping works as I have had no previous experience of receiving tips on any other blogging websites. But it was really beautiful having random rewarder tip me early in my journey. It was awesome to see my wallet having some crypto currency.
I even thought that it's the people who are tipping me and not the bot till I found out the random rewarder icon on the tip section. I was marveled at the commitment of AI to make the users of this platform happy. I was just going through the blog posts when I decided to write this as a motivation for not quitting writing and sharing the glimpses of my happy journey here. **Its worth noting that I have a big way to go as I still haven't achieved much here but I have started believing strongly in this project and BCH.**

Workout goals
These days, you will rarely find a person who is not into workout. Especially in my country, India, people these days are so obsessed with workout that they just wanna join gym at any cost. Many youngsters don't have enough money for diet but photographs of hulks and super muscular people fascinates them at a whole different level. As a result, they join gym but realize after a while, it's not only workout that will bring transformation **but diet should also walk hand in hand with it**.
**Why did I write such harsh lines in the start of post only? It's just because before starting any kind of workout, you need to have your workout goal in mind.**
****Factors on which workout goals may depend**** **:**
**Your priority at current time of your life.** Suppose you are in a busy study schedule giving it all then it might not be possible for you to join a gym but you can always spare 30 minutes or so for light workout like running or training with your body weight only including exercises like push ups, pull ups, burpees etc. These will also make your mind fresh by increasing oxygen supply throughout your body.
**If you wanna pursue a career in body building or gymnastics.** In such cases, there are many factors to consider. Starting early is best in such case. Also, it requires for you to have money to pursue these and support of family.
**If you are a working person.** In such case it totally depends on your working hour, nature of work and free time slots you have. Maybe you prefer a early morning run to pump up your heart rate or maybe you prefer training in eve as to gain more muscles.
**Availability of workout locations in your locality.** Gyms are normal these days in every corner of cities and even some villages are having them now. But lack of open areas in unplanned cities is surely a problem for those who are fascinated by idea of working out in a grassy park on their own(calisthenics).
**If you are already involved in some sort of sport activity.** You might have seen footballers having awesome legs and abdominal portion, random youngsters playing different sports build awesome agility and they also put a lot of their stamina and strength in it. In such case, putting extra effort into workout is when someone wants to be better at game mostly, and such trainings are specific to game. There are rarely any who do both things like gym and playing in their daily routine apart from professionals or over enthusiasts.
****Some workout types to follow :****
****Calisthenics**** **:** These are the exercises which don't require any apparatus and are done with your body weight only. You might have seen people doing exercises hanging on bars in the park. Those exercises come under calisthenics category. With these, you can develop strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. **Examples include : pullups, chin-ups, dips, muscle ups, burpees, jump squats, rope jumping and many others**. Need of no equipment being one of their major advantage and they deliver results almost similar to weight based training.
****Weight Training**** **:** In my own simple words, these are kind of exercises people join gym for. **They can't be done without apparatus.** Their main aim is gaining muscles. Unlike calisthenics, they have nothing much to do with flexibility. **These exercise have the method of repetitions and weight increment**. The weight which you can put on depends on your muscle strength and stage of training you are in(beginner, intermediate or advanced).
**Examples include : barbell curls, shoulder press, weighted squats, overhead extensions and literally thousands of them.** They should be started in proper guidance from a professional trainer(main reason of people joining gym). These require a proper knowledge of form of exercises. **Muscle development is very important. After 30, we start losing muscles if we don't train which is also a major reason of weight gain leading to many diseases. These exercises require a good diet along side(protein intake should be good).** They can be focused on gaining strength by training different muscles by planning a schedule for which part of body to hit on which day. There are a million other things about exercises under this category which you should know along with all the muscles in your body. **Knowing your muscles ensure that you are hitting correct parts while working out.** You can read a lot more on them online on various sources.
****Cardio Exercises**** **:** As the name suggests, these exercises have something to do with heart(cardio). These are also known as **aerobic exercises. These exercises keep you heart rate up, making blood pump faster. This increases the supply of oxygen throughout the body and keeps your hearts and lungs healthy. Example of these are : high knees, lateral shuffles, crab walk, standing oblique crunch, jumping jacks etc.** Jogging and running also do the same work. These also don't require weight(apparatus) and are really good for burning calories and thus losing weight.
***The main point of this article is to make everyone aware of the importance of having a workout goal. You shouldn't just blindly go out to seek some advice from a random gym person and join gym for the sake of muscles. You should have a goal fulfilling your dream of gaining while at the same time not making you sore as hell yielding you unable to move for the rest of the day destroying all your plans and schedule.***
**~~**Some points to not if you blindly follow any routine :**~~**
**You may end up hurting yourself if you start gym and try to lift heavy as a beginner only so as to gain muscles. You will gain no muscles but pain for sure.**
**Unsatisfactory results as you didn't even decide whether you want a healthy lifestyle or muscles like superman.**
**Budget issues which may occur due to no prior knowledge of diet required along side workout.**
**Disrupted schedule and you may end up losing the most important time of your life when you need to work on yourself with efficiency.**
**Unforeseen fatigue due to wrong type of workout in your daily work routine. Sleep time is also very important which you have to manage as per your workout.**
**Serious injuries which can knock you bedridden for rest of your lives.**
*There is a dire need of sticking to perfect type of workout for you which will complement your productivity providing you a healthy and happy body.*
*Do workout even if its 30 minutes a day, believe me it brings a big change and please don't kill yourself on advices, do your own research before adopting one.*
*Thanks for reading!!*
Elon's tweet : Energy consumption, Is doge the new future
A recent tweet by genius entrepreneur **Elon Musk** has pushed Bitcoin harshly in a sharp downfall. There could be many motives for doing so but what's most interesting here is, **Tesla Inc owned by Elon, which only three months ago in February revealed that it has bought Bitcoin worth 1.5 billion USD and announced purchase of Tesla cars with BTC suddenly goes back on their announcement declaring BTC unsafe for environment today only.**
Below are tweets from **Elon's official twitter account :-**
*~~**Tesla Inc announces discontinuing car purchase with BTC!!!!!!!!**~~*
***~~**Environmental stats :**~~***
*****Shaken BTC :*****
**With these two tweets only, bitcoin is thrashed badly like nothing in a while. Bitcoin registered a single day price fall by 17% in just two hours of the tweet and every since the investors with bitcoin as their fortune are awe struck. Earlier in February, Cambridge University Researches study suggested that BTC uses 121.36 TWH (terra watt hour) a year which is equal to Argentina's yearly electricity consumption. Thus, BTC uses electricity much as a country itself to be produced. It's worth questioning the future of currency itself if energy alternatives other than fossil energy are not adopted for mining.**
****Energy consumption data on BTC as per Cambridge University : -****
Bitcoin sure is killing environment but **Musk in is tweet also mentioned that they are now looking for cryptocurrencies with power consumption less than 1% that what Bitcoin consumes per transaction.**
Talking some stats here, Bitcoin uses **707KWh per transaction while the Elon's new star, " 'hustle' :- dogecoin" consumes 0.12KWh per transaction which is surely less than 7.07KWh(1% of what BTC consumes). So is dogecoin gonna be new star.**
*In feb only, Musk posted a tweet about buying some dogecoin for his toddler :*
Here's a recent post from **Elon's account** about people's poll on whether Tesla should accept doge :
**The biggest thing which matter is should Doge be considered ideal for investment right at this time. Maybe, Elon alone can take it to new heights. FYI, dogecoin currently is at 0.389744 USD.**
*****A little something on energy consumption :*****
***Fossil fuels :*** These are the fuels obtained from fossils deposited over time. They are regarded as non-renewable sources of fuel because it take millions of years for them to be obtained. Their examples include coal, oil and gas.
*****How much of them are left? :*****
The data above clearly tells how long before we run out of these. Now use of coal for mining of bitcoin is a serious threat actually. When bitcoin mining rises, to balances the price, the puzzle being solve is made more difficult thus increasing the complexity need to be spend to gain rewards from mining. Thus, machine power needs to be amplified which in turn will again increase energy consumption.
Also, rising rewards from the change in the puzzle will attract more miners which will increase the machines on the mining network again.
Mostly, the mining power needs are fulfilled with coal which in turn increases the carbon emission in the environment which itself is a huge problem, global warming and concerning rise in global temperature, whole lot of misery again.
*****Alternatives regarding energy transition***** ***:***
****Go solar**** **:** Each hour Earth gets 430 quintillion Joules of **energy** from the **sun**. Thats a pretty big number actually : **430000000000000000000**! In comparison, the total amount of **energy** that all humans use in a year is 410 quintillion Joules(data from year 2015).
Seeing the figures, even if the population has risen, there is a lot of potential in solar energy. Though it would require some extra investment but advancements bring with them their own costs which BTC might face in some way.
****Imposing carbon emission taxes on BTC**** **:** Considerable emission taxes can be imposed on BTC which will effect its usage but can be adopted to save mother earth.

An Ordeal
**"Families won't agree",** these were their parting words when they met last evening. It's been two days since they had this most intense conversation of their love life so far. They have known each other for so long now that it feels like eternity but never had to face this much of difficulty in reaching a conclusion ever. But this time, conclusion doesn't seems to exist.
**To him, her eyes seemed unfathomable and to her, his manly gaze wasn't so confident this time.** Love seemed to be defeated and both of them disheartened. They have come a long long way. They can't love again as it would be betrayal to their own souls. They don't wanna trust anyone again as it is very clear, its not gonna be the same. **But they can't just accept it? All the promises they made to each other, tended each other more than themselves, the glory they always celebrated in having each other how can they accept all of it to be taken away. At this point they are not ready to face the dejection of their dreams fading, of their hearts shattering.**
How the things went on the **"eve of gloominess"** is giving them shivers. They were both sighing, how things turned out to be at their houses was a mess after all. **Caste compatibility, society, opinion clash and desperate attempts at tainting lovely memories of their togetherness by accusing them about wasting their time in place of studying and working on themselves being the major highlights at both the sides.** Mother & father are shook by the news and have attained a harsh note to tackle the imprudent choices of their offspring. All of it broke them at the very confrontation about their love with their **bloodily love, their family.**
**Arranged marriage is the word they have most hatred for now and back at home also, nobody is acknowledging them like it was back in the days.** They are barely talking over phone or chats as they still remember the downpour they witnessed two days back, **his eyes damp & watery like a sparky burning fire being extinguished by crystals flowing down her cheek. Both of them couldn't see eyes in eyes which was there favorite ritual since the day arrived.**
For now, they are committed to their old plan : "**Either you or no one".** They don't wanna bring it up again for time being and they are pretending to live a normal life with a statement that they won't agree to marry anyone but **it's always like a iron rod dug deep in their hearts. The question prevalent in both minds, why is the bird as free as love being caged for stereotypes but seems like it's also unexplanatory as the love itself.**
**They continue on living with the burden on their souls, unacceptance by their very guardians whom they always admired and held in high regards like those for GODS but this time even their GODS can't get their wish fulfilled for their own reasons.** It's hard and harsh for them as neither the power of upbringing can be nullified when they respect it like anything nor the heart could function properly as the one who was the reason for healthy pump is missing. They face guilt because their families and partners both have been let down. Good old days now getting faded and loneliness haunts to the cores.
*Waiting for approval, dying in darkness inside but still rebels at the very intellect, they continue to live being separated in hope for the parted roads to meet somewhere. Maybe they will resume talking in a day or two as the lost trust on parental side is a untended wound yet which they need to take care of for each other. Their story was supposed to echo but the wheel of time turned against them like a calamity.*
This article is intended to highlight the practice of ignoring love and pushing arrange marriage on young couple prevailing in many cultures where they don't even get a chance to be considered. Also an appeal to elder audience here, test the bond and compatibility first as it's them after all who are to promise themselves for lifetime to anyone. It's better to give a chance always, sweetness of bloodily relations is in trusting your loved ones and who knows, maybe they have perfect choice already for both themselves and the families
Hope you liked it.

Things Naruto Taught Us
Our all time favorite super duper anime **Naruto** had it's first episode released on **15/feb/2007.** Even its so long since the release, the anime still makes it to the top ranks in other anime's. For me, a very close friend of mine persuaded me into watching it very recently but it shook me at a totally different level. It was only after watching it, I praised my friend for being so tenacious about it.
***Life lessons from the series :***
*****Ignorance doesn't matter***** ***:*** *From very start of the series, Naruto is considered as a cursed child and since he had no mom dad, no body acknowledged him and everyone gave him a demotivating and worthless look. He was always filled with anger and anxiety as no one really cared about him. But this doesn't stopped him. He made his way through Ninja academy by struggling hard and staying focused for his goal of being acknowledged someday and being Hokage(best ninja of village). He channelized all the bad energy in a positive way for himself as to show people his worth and with the help of very few who believed in him and supported him, he ends up making most lovely spot in everyone's heart in village.*
*****Believing in himself(self-esteem)***** ***:*** *It is shown in the series that the first stage for anyone being recognized as ninja is to join the ninja academy. Naruto also does the same but since he is bad at most of the things and children also don't like him because of his cursed image in the village,* ***everyone calls him a loser.*** *Even after being called so by everyone, he never backed off and believed in himself that he will get through to become the best some day. You can say it that he was a kid with high self esteem and nothing pessimistic could have weighed him down.*
*****Hard training***** ***:*** *When everyone showed distrust and no one believed in him, he made training his close supporter. It as been shown in the show that Naruto challenges everyone to be recognized by defeating but ends up losing always. Soon as it happened, everyone would call him a loser but he wouldn't give up. Just then, he would make a hard resolve in mind to defeat him and would go and train keeping the defeat and distrust in mind. He surely learns from failure and trains hard to shine.*
*****Channelizing negativity in a unique way***** ***:*** *Negativity mostly hits a person badly ending up changing their course of life in a demolishing way. But here in this anime, Naruto shows a very unique way of channelizing negativity. Despite being all the hatred he faces, when he gains power by hard training and belief, he uses it to get himself acknowledged and helping those who were facing hard times just as he did in past. He exhibited a promising power to bring a change in a person by quoting his own example thus making the other person his comrade for life. All the negativity he faced could have made him a bitter person and he could have used his power to destroy those who loathed him instead he shows them his worth, becomes their favorite and helped others to cope with loneliness adding them to his family of well wishers.*
*****Living by convictions***** ***:*** *Throughout the series,* ***Naruto talks of his ninja way i.e. : "Keeping his promise and never backing off on his words".*** *Isn't this what a real man should be like. He proves through entire show how he clings to his convictions and makes things work once he takes a task. It is very precious to have convictions in life and sticking by them.*
*****Respect***** ***:*** *Naruto had very few people who believed in him from the starting.* ***Iruka Sensei(his first teacher) being one of them. Later on Jiraiya(his second teeacher), Lady Tsunade(village hokage) and many others joined his journey of bringing peace to world.*** *What is worth noting is that, even when he gained super powers like none of his teachers and friends, he can't take a word against them. He stands by their side keeping their golden words at the depth of his hearts and shows outmost respect to them. It has been portrayed in the anime that the words his teachers told him fueled him in his journey of greatness to bring peace.*
*****Unique way of loving***** ***:*** *There is a girl named* ***Sakura Haruno*** *whom* ***Naruto*** *loves from when he was a kid but she like the others never liked him till they ended up in same team. Even then, she treats him as a comrade only and later on as a very close friend as she loves their other friend* ***Sasuke.*** *But* ***Naruto*** *never gives up on her and saves her through every hard situation. Even after risking his life for her, when she turns her back on him for the other guy, even then he gets pacified at heart after doing something of her.

Time Travel : BTC & BCH
I was pondering about all the advancements been made in BTC world from its birth to how it gained value and what gave rise to BCH. I was amazed on my research and got to know many new things worth sharing. Only a decade ago, bitcoin tech took birth and the changes since then are really awesome.
In this blog post, I am gonna share about:-
**Rise of BTC.**
**How it reached where it presently stands.**
**Its presence around**
**Emergence of BCH.**
**Trends in both since their birth.**
**An year wise guide on BTC :-**
****Birth Year (2008)**** **:-** It was this year only when BTC protocol was given by **Satoshi Nakamoto,** whose identity couldn't be tracked down whether he was a single person or organization. His real identity is still a mystery till date.
**In 2010, it's value was merely 0.08usd.**
**The first of efforts to negotiate bitcoin's value was the transaction of 10,000BTC for 2 Papa John's pizzas.**
****Year 2011**** **:-**
**Bitcoin worth :-** It was for the first time that its value reached **1 usd.**
Organizations like **wikileaks** and others started accepting bitcoins for donations.
Other currencies started emerging since bitcoin has an open source(available to all) code.
****2012**** :**-**

A documentary film **The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin**, was released in 2014.
**It was on march 13, 2014 when Warren Buffet called bitcoin "mirage".**
In 2016, **Cabinet of Japan** acknowledged virtual currencies as something same as traditional money. Also, Swiss Railway Operator upgraded all their ticket machine so that bitcoin can be bought from them.
****2017**** **:-**
**Worth :-** The highest price recorded for this year was **19,783 usd.**
It is worth noting how different organizations placed there trust in bitcoin till know. All those who till that thought of how bitcoin gained its valued can now see how it gained value and trust among people. Every year marked changes and advancements.
This year, 8th August marked the rise of **BCH.** If you talk about the technicalities, BTC being slow in processing transactions was decided to made fast. The birth of BCH know as "**hard fork**" took place leading to an alternate algorithm based on bitcoin algorithm but faster increasing block size from 1MB to 8MB.
This is how our read.cash's star child BCH came into existence.
**This year only, steam announced to discontinue using bitcoins due to slow transaction speed and thus we know one reason of BCH's importance.**
****Successor years till 2020:-****
**Worth :-** After remaining low as **5000usd** for year 2018, BTC boomed to **41,973 usd** in 2020 and this leap is what would have made many people pocketful. Belief in the crypto was fruitful after all.
Bitcoin's slow transaction processing speed being an issue, in 2018, payment platform **stripe announced that it would discontinue its support for bitcoin because of transaction speeds along with declining demands and rising fees.**
Since I belong to India, after supreme court uplifted crypto ban in April 2020, people started heavily in crypto and bitcoin giving certain boom to this industry and both BCH and BTC too. Many startups like WazirX, CoinSwitch Kuber and CoinDCX etc recorded high user registrations and involvement of corporate investment in BTC and crypto.
In October 2020 only, **Elon Musk's Paypal** announced that it will allow people to buy and sell BTC on its platform but not deposit or withdraw.
**As for year 2021, BTC's value is fluctuating from 53,000 usd to 60,000 usd as of now.**
***REASONS : RISE AND TRUST:-***
As you can see, many big names accepted bitcoins for payment as well as educational institutions and govt bodies.
Bitcoin and BCH ensure keeping identity a secret while doing transactions in it unlike other traditional currencies. Though the user can be traced back in case of fraud using special ways but otherwise its done without unnecessarily disclosing identity.
Peer2peer transactions with decentralization scheme gave every user greater control over BCH and BTC thus making everyone fall for them.
Mining came into existence thus engaging more people into crypto.
A good way to channel one's money and investments.
**BCH's journey** :-
**In aug 2017, BCH traded at 240 usd and as evident by the chart above, its current price is very promising i.e. 1420 usd. The trust it has gained among the users is promising with some features even better than BTC. Some of the major reasons are:-**
Improvement in transactions speeds thus attracting users.
Platforms like read.cash, noise.cash and their wonderful community promoting the use of BCH as a promising child in crypto family.
Very low transactions fee as compared to its parent BTC. As of april 2021, its average transaction fee stands at **0.0052 usd while that of BTC is 18 usd.**
Rise of payment gateways for BCH payments like **Blockonomics, GoUrl, PrompCash, AnyPay, BitPay and many others.**
As per survey on the basis of the websites those show the merchant data, **4,392 merchants accept BCH globally.**
It provides secrecy of identity as by normal means you can't know who controls a particular BCH address.
Unlike traditional currency, BCH official websites promises that there won't be no more than 21 million coins in the market ever unlike govt which prints currency out of thin air.
**Some BCH wallets to use** :
There are whole lot of other services related to BCH mentioned on their website https://bitcoincash.org/. You can develop, explore and invest.
It the near future, BCH also looks very promising. Long term predictions tell us that BCH will hit 34,000 **usd** by 2030.
Bch also looks like skyrocketing in near future just like BTC.
Keep writing!! Keep Growing!!
