A Night By Himself
He is been trying sleeping forever. Its summer but he can't really pull blanket off his face. Some kind of fear haunts him and his childish soul thinks the blanket will work against all sort of omens. He is trying hard to doze off but his intellect won't favor this time. Sweat is dripping off the body, fan is on but he still can't feel any of its cool because its dark outside and his mind visualizes a lot. Just before the switching off the light, he was not confident enough whether to keep them on.
It happens almost every night. Mind just won't give him a break. Also its 12:00 on the clock already and he heard at school, demonic powers are at their best right at this time. He thinks of getting rid of sheets but then again what if a hand comes straight to his neck or what if there is a witch on ceiling with turned feet, red eyes staring right at him while her hair hang or...or what if a whitish face peeks from behind the wall and then disappears.....All these thoughts haunt him. He gets nervous every time a bird flies by his window adding scariest of sound effects to the scene or whenever dogs whine on streets in distance. His house isn't in a very crowded area after all. He get nervous every time the clock ticks. Whenever an hour passes, the cuckoo of clock freaks him out to death.
Everything gets intensified with his urgent need to piss and clock is already past 12:00. He just can't get out and reach the lights. He is afraid of stepping down as its in his mind, somebody is under the bed already with a chainsaw ready to cut his feet off. It's choking him, there isn't enough air inside. Every moment is heavy on him. Regret takes over every now and then since he watched horror movie recently with his brother even when he was warned of a nightmary night. His body is suffering a tormenting sweaty freeze. He has already tried counting till infinity, counting sheep but nothing works out for him. Only an hour have passed but it seems like that one cuckoo was forever for him. Time is not flowing regularly, its like living in a global slowmo with darkness deepening every second.
**An eight year old's prayers at this hour are unbearable even for god but he is lying with his hand folded with nothing but a haunting mind and hopeful soul. As all of this is happening and clock showing 1:59 am, door creaks, heavy steps approaching towards him, chair is slightly displaced producing a surely concerning note, cuckoo occurs for one more time lending him an almost failed heart, his fight-or-flight mode kicks in, fists clenched with a numbness in heart chanting prayer at a really high note, almost charging in but something already pouncing on him. Blood being pumped at a really hilarious rate, the moment of realization has arrived, the fear has turned into reality and as he decides to submit himself to the ghastly phenomena, his fur soothes him like a fish being placed in water after half a minute outside in open air. His tongue licks horror out of him replacing sweat on his face with saliva. The playful aura quickly tainting the glory of ghouls. Wagging tail at a pace even heart can't pump its no other but his crazy shepherd(dog) : Harry.**
The empty space on his bed is no more unoccupied. The four legs are widespread with two of them on his belly and furry neck poked all the way from his elbow to make place on his chest. The calm of the moment is remarkable, the strength is back as he is out of sheets now. Finally he got to switch and the light is being poured in the room like a morning of lifetime for him. Drenched clothes and numb feet finally making way to wash room in the presence of mighty furry mate.

It is her period after all
Standing in the shade of a giant cherry blossom tree, this time she won't wave him like she always did. Not because she is out of enthusiasm or something but her serotonin balance is not up to the mark. Cortisol is rising and all she feels is stress. Cramps are forcing her to put her arm around her belly and its a sure thing she cant greet her soulmate.
Her face is grumpy, her walk has a broken aura to it and all she does is ponders over her body's irritably unique functioning. For the rest of the days, he would talk to her arguing, mocking, laughing and both exchanging a million weird things. But now, he is careful as the lioness may tear him any moment he crosses the line. All he does is asking stuff. Are you all right is what he has asked for a millionth time now and guess what it irritates the lioness too. She is like, its not something new, we go through this every month and still u react like a jerk every time. Both of them know what's going on still they are strangled with an expression of uneasiness every time this happens. Not every moment but just when he feels helpless and she is on prime of her cramps.
**His preparations are worth mentioning here**. He always remembers her dates. He is like a monthly alarm for her. Whenever she is expecting, either he tells her or she asks. He always brings some chocolates on first day when she is under them. If not the first day, he manages till she loses hopes. He tries to be considerate and icy cool to her who has gotten fiercely hot like sun due to her natural phenomena. He believes in the ideology that a gentle massage to her belly with his hands would be paradise to her but has not accomplished his dream yet. So he tells her to rely on hot bag against the cruel pain in her cycle. He sure dreams of bombarding her with intensified feelings of love and lots of necessities whenever it will happen in future when both of them will be living together.
**Her mental state as per my perception is a abyss of thoughts**. Also, she can't control her feelings like the normal days. She is more prone to emotional breakdown, thinks a lot, needs attention, demands more love than ever but she won't ask for any of this. Either she will bang his head or she will rely on her chance to take it out. All she wants is a little compensation for what is happening to her. It is not wrong for her to think of it as a mutual responsibility and not just her own because it is happening to her. He can surely take his time off video games, give her more attention even if both of them are off to work, a text or a humble call would not kill him. One thing is always constant though, she tries to maintain a balance constantly if not like other days but she tries her level best. All because she respects his life and believes in striving together. When he was not there, it was all of her own but now since they are one, she gives it all to act like one be it joy or sorrow or natural processes.
***Its been 6 days already. She is returning to normal now. This time too, they lived harmoniously like all the other times. He succeeded in making her believe in their combo's prowess. She is joyous today. She bathes away the last blood of agony. She is mentally sound, ready for daily challenges and nothing is leaking out of her for god's sake. They both shared lovely good morning texts already and she is all set to leave for work. She is again waiting for him under their meeting spot, blossom tree. On his first sight she jumps up with innate peace. Every bit of hers is dancing to a song of their unity and this time she jumped and waved with all she had.***

Covid-19 crisis and end of college
The journey of four years came to a sad end as the pandemic hit bad at global level. I am talking about my college life here. It was a four year course but we only got to attend two and a half of the years fully and rest were from home only. Its sad how the best thing, our college journey which we cherished with our souls got its two years wasted due to covid crisis. This post is just out of my deep love and admiration for the changes I went through in these awesome four years of life.
I will give you all a thorough walkthrough and will share with you the experiences of life time you have in college. I am not going into academics here but how as a person, college changed me.
**Starting year of my college life(1st year):-**
This year was funny if anything. We entered college and we were hostelers. I had no previous experience of living in hostel prior to this. I would really love to share with you all a picture of my college campus just to show you how pretty it is.
It is indeed a beautiful campus in northern part of India and ranks 7th in the list of most beautiful college campus in India.
In the beginning i.e. 1 month or so, everyone who was senior to us used to say that you will soon be loving this place and company. We shared room and there were 4 of us in a room. In the beginning, home sickness were there and we were not used to eating in mess or sharing washrooms etc. But slowly as the time passed, we got into a schedule of our own. The formation of bonds started from this moment only and I really found many gems whom I never wanna loose in my journey. We would go for classes together and soon started making fun of each other. Night time was always fun and we mocked each other endlessly everyday. Only sleep would put an end to our fun. Apart from mocking, we shared school time experiences, those who shared common cities would discuss about the schools they went to, we got to know each other's likeness and past relationship experiences. We started getting comfortable like home with new homies.
We made a group of six in the starting days and we enjoyed things together. We used to play counter strike, a famous multiplayer game amongst teenagers, we would play fifa, pes and many others. We six people still know each other till date and we sure are homies for life.
I was never a an expressive person but this first year taught me expressing myself. I was kind of introvert which the first year took away with it. Before college, I had this habit of going alone to eat out but now, I would pocket some extra money and started asking someone everyone I head out to eat.
There is this strange habit whenever boys pay that they split bill very unevenly and I experienced it in first time in this year only. Every time we went out, one of us would pay heftily while the someone would find a way out of paying at all LOL.......It was fun extracting money out of homie's pocket and calling for a party even at a smallest of events of their lives like even when they get pocket money from home for a new month.
One little suggestion for first year, while learning all the habits try to find out a good friend for you whom you trust with guts and try to inculcate good habits in you. A friend of mine became a smoker, a big addict due to wrong company and direction.
Good foundations in the starting year always leads you towards your goals and since first year is least busy, you can explore everything available in your campus in a positive way and decide how you wanna give time to different things of your choice and also, how you wanna utilize the available resources in your campus for your goals.
**Second Year:-**
First year always stays in memories as one of exploration and immaturity. Whenever I see photos from our days back, I really can't believe the way I used to be.
Bonding between your batchmates starts intensifying in this year and most of us have already found out our tribe. In my case, I found my love of life in this year and I still praise that moment more than anything when I proposed her. This is the perfect year to start preparing for your goals. Now you know the environment well, all you need is to lay down a schedule for yourself and stick to it. But in the most of the cases in my country, we first do the Btech and then decide what we really wanna do in our lives LOL.
Intense birthday celebrations were a part of my college life and after knowing each other well, it gets even better. Back at hostels, sharp at 12 am, the person having birthday was beaten badly by the friends turned into a mob, as a strange celebration rooted deeply among the hostelers.
One thing which is really worth mentioning, by this time we knew all the secrets of our roommates, got a hang of what actually means to be important to someone and also, we developed habits of living together as a society in residential campus. Every festival of college was like a big zeal to us. Annual cultural fest and sports event were the best among all and it really felt great to be a part of something and striving to make a name of your own. I participated in inter branch football event and it was the big highlight of every year for every footballer.
Helping others at these events, cheering and being cheered, sportsmanship and leadership which I learnt was all so great and will always remain with me as precious values for the rest of my life.
**High spirited souls forging deep bonds with each other were the major highlights of second year for me. And among all these events and gatherings, academics and relationships, we grew somewhere and started considering our college as our home. Going to our real homes was less entertaining now and staying in this ecosystem and celebrating together was always encouraged by everyone.**
**Third and last year staying in college:-**
This was the best among all. After the end of our first semester of third year i.e. six months, we were to go on an all India trip exclusively conducted in our college only and all of my friends were excited for it from first year only. Our trip route included beach cities of India and being North Indians, most of us have never been to beaches. Me and my friends really broke a sweat in gym to get a summer body so as to look fit for beach. The sole goal of ours for this semester was only to get 100 percent ready for the remarkable trip ahead. We also asked other seniors about their experiences and if anything, they got us boosted more and more with their crazy experiences. Me and my bae were also excited for travelling together throughout the country. We did all the preparations and the trip did happen at the end of the year 2019. on 28 dec 2019, we left for Delhi from our hometown as all were to gather there and then all of my college students headed to Vizag through train. We celebrated new year 2020 in Vizag and it was an all new experience for me watching how crazy people were about new year in southern part of India. It was a almost twenty day trip and starting from Vizag, we went to Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Kovallam and finally the famous party destination of India i.e. Goa. It was an experience of lifetime enjoying all of those awesome places with so many people of on college only. For us, it was a dream come true.
After this tremendous experience, we got back home on 20 January 2020 and then we went to college for February only. From march till the date(6 may 2021), we went to college for short intervals only as the corona crisis allowed and finally its officially came to a sad end. We didn't even receive an elegant farewell and were sent back to our homes to attend remaining 2 months in online mode only. Thankfully, I got selected for a job role of software engineer through an online interview and will be joining there along with two of my friends very soon in August.
Covid-19 crisis is hitting all the domains badly and college life was one precious thing which was gracefully destroyed by it for many of the faces. The things I am carrying away from my college are so precious and dear to me and I will always respect them as my idols for life.
Thankyou for reading<3
Things we learn as hostelers
Here is a post about things one will surely learn at a college as hostelers apart from academics and these things will form a strong base for future. Knowledge can surely set grounds for our success but its with the mixture of elements only, our success is acknowledged by the masses and respected by everyone, deep from the soul.
*****Building connections******:-*
When in the schooling phase, our actions are controlled. We are provided a favorable environment by our parents, teachers and well wishers so that we grow towards success with minimal efforts about other things. One such things are connections. Our parents communicate with our teachers for us to ensure positive growth in our intellect and they manage to ask elaborately about fee and all thus maintaining connection to help our schooling out, they secure a convenient method for us to travel to school and back, they maintain healthy relations with other parents whose wards are our mates or best buddies. Many such connections are there which help us through this journey.
In college, specially away from homes staying in hostel, we need to maintain powerful connections for our sustenance and growth. **Like influential college faculties who don't have enough time to even learn your names and teach you for a semester only are to be approached by you only for guidance in projects or any other work and this time its not like school that they will ask you on their own, various people working in college campus like laundry guy or canteen owner etc.. you need to ensure good terms with them in order to have flexibility in functioning whenever you need them, you need to learn and stay in touch with seniors as they will be passing out before you and then will guide you about do's and don'ts for a successful career,** we get to learn how to connect and grow together with different people.
*****Time Management******:-*
While at home, we are at our mom's courtesy to get us summoned and prepared for everything on time. Not everyone needs mommy's help but most of us are notified about events on time by her as she is one precious soul working towards making us perfect in every way.
Here at college, we are at our own and therefore we learn how to manage doing things on time. Alarms get us up, there is a specific time for daily meals, we take our scheduled classes and get back to hostels, we plan our study hours, we plan hangout time with friends, we manage relationship(if any), we give time to our hobbies, its us only who check after cleanliness of our clothes, room and many other things. All this teaches us valuable skill of time management and whosoever fails to learn it suffers always.
*****Sharing habits*****:-
While at hostel, we need to share very often. We may need to borrow a book our friend has and he might ask for one as well, once you make friends....you never eat anything you have alone, exam nights are all about sharing your notes and intellect as well and you will share pretty much everything you have after one point of time when you get comfortable with your mates. This way, we develop a very unique habit of **sharing and caring** along with. As for me, I always had this unique habit of eating alone and not spending my money on others at snack points but after my first semester at college, I always needed someone to tag along my way to grab a meal. I never minded spending some extra money on friends and soon we began spending all over on each other and money used to get balanced with strengthened bonds.
*****Communication skills******:-*
This is one very important skill. Back at home if you were not comfortable communicating to the new people, you always had the option of staying back home or your family backing up for you. Here at college, communication is the key to everything. Starting from the day one at a new place, you need to take part in number of group activities like eating at mess, leaving for college together, project presentations in your departments etc...all of these demand communication and if you aren't very good at it, this is your chance to improve. I have seen introverts changing at the end of four years of my college life and people communicating in a way they never could in the last few years. If you have difficulty in sharing your views or expressing your opinions, you will surely find your set of people(tribe) who will understand you and will encourage you to open up to the masses.
*****Work Culture*****:-
In a place where several people stay collectively, there exists a workflow and you learn from it. You will see people pursuing their dreams, studying for different examinations, setting goals and achieving them, all of this well get a spark in you too to work hard and devote your daily hours to productive work. It will develop a work culture and will keep you in a habit of working. You will less likely to be lethargy and will work for yourselves. This will help you in the job you will be joining after your graduation and in bigger picture, it will bring about a positive change in your daily routine. You will work on real life projects with your mates and it will teach you how work is carried out actually in workplaces. Being a computer science student, college taught me how MNCs(Multinational Companies) carry out their day to day work and what type of projects they work on.
*****Understanding people*****:-
Along with all the other technical things, there is and emotion flow while you are around different kind of people. Some of them will enhance your mood while others will kill all the positivity you had, some of them will always push you to you limits so that you do your best while others don't really care about what you do. Its all up to you to understand an individual's motive smartly and then choosing your company wisely. Once you choose a couple of pessimists, you are doomed. While you are on your own in college, you get a precious chance to develop your instinct of judging people within yourself in your best interests. Stay high on positive vibes and be with those who make you feel the best.
A sound mind can be attained only when you are emotionally healthy along with all other aspects.
I leave the other points on you guys to figure out yourselves and wish you all the luck and blessings for your exponential progress while you stay away from homes being hosteler at college. For me, it was one heck of a journey I would always admire.
Thanks for reading<3<3<3<3<3<3.
Bonds to cherish & memories that never perish
I will talk about lifetime here. Its not a very big deal to live and prosper on this planet but its a big deal if you have real people who matter and real bonds you cherish. People who will hold you back when you are ready to step in gutter, people who will kiss your cheek when you feel needy, those who are around being the first medics in case you shiver, people who are there no matter what the situation is, people who bet on you blindfolded, those who have faith in you even if you don't have it on yourselves, people who will stay by your side and million other kinds which are no less than a blessing. These bonds are so powerful that even a youngster in his early twenties is moved by their magnificence and hence is writing here a tribute to them.
*****A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR GOOD TIMES:*****
**Have you ever wondered, how that sunny day on your way back from school would have passed if there was no crazy hand dragging you all the way to ice cream cart for the money he knows you have in your pocket?**
**How about all those times when you and your friends never split a bill rightly and one ends up paying a big share?**
**How it would feel if there was no memory of you and your friends eating tiffin box way before recess time hiding in back benches during lectures? Wasn't getting caught a fun back then?**
**How you would have never discussed mutual crush on a teacher in school?**
**Will you like it if you never had any beautiful memory of your first proposal or dream relation? Wouldn't it be something you want to keep for rest of your lives in case you found your best match early?**
**How if you never remember him/her picking you up for an event or daily classes and all those calls and waiting time till they travel to your home by their vehicle?**
**How your mom cared for you more than herself always and your dad being Adamantium shield guarding and supporting family all the times while maintaining all hard and tough profile? Shouldn't it be kept till your last breath?**
**How would it be if you never had any of the beautiful memories of your grandparents? How simple and carefree they were filling you with optimism always....Wouldn't it be a gap no feeling would ever fill?**
**What about your all time favorite pet who is never disappointed in you and your face is all he ever wants to see? Isn't it all over your mind when you go anywhere?**
**I can go on and on and on.....about these beautiful memories and versions of human and inhuman bonds.**
It sure will bring a nostalgia and I hope you will teach out to your all time favorites straightway after reading these lines so as to cherish again what you had and has faded for some reason over the time, be it distance or circumstances.
Isn't it for real that we are here for life time memories. Imagine yourself sitting under a tree gazing sunset running your brains through the book you wrote all your life, **The Book of Memories.** Every golden page of it will make you laugh and will fill you of admiration. And many of the characters from that one book will get older with you and you will go through all the phases cherishing them. Maybe you will find the truthful answers to your most complicated questions you could never solve while you were young regarding life and thoughts.
When you bid farewell to someone, it hurts because you have their memories. But isn't it beautiful how you keep them alive in your thoughts, talks, sanctity of your bond, deeds you committed together and that time is the one when you know whom to thank. Of course the brain's power to collect them in a film of **memories. If not for these films, every human would be a patient.**
Some people may have serious aversions about acknowledging the fact that how people around them matter but it doesn't mean they don't have that gratitude for them. **Even if it is the harshest of souls, deep down inside there will be a flower rooted in them being watered by the soulful company they have in this life's roller coaster along with his/her belief in them.**
*****And of course I can't thank these enough for being there always:*****
Dearest of photographs, videos, sound clips (all thanks to technology).
Old school letters(including lovely ones surely), your oldest of diaries, slam books.
Platforms like these where you can see your persona once you click **my articles** tab.
Momentos of lifetime which those lovely souls gave us who parted their ways with us on this journey of life, or those you collected back from some trip, those you were once felicitated with and there is a never ending list.
Last but not the least collectibles from different stages of life like it still brings a wide smile on my face when my mom shows me the bottle I used to had milk when I couldn't even talk....I am damn sure you too have them close to your hearts.
You take birth and are being loved, you learn a lot, you take control, you keep the wheel going, you do your best, soon you retire with a hell lot and **memories.** Every stage a bond, you earn these even before you know money and they are costly as nothing can be. Respect them and cherish them to your fullest. After all, who doesn't wanna keep his first kiss to the girl he ends up with closest to heart, who doesn't want an outstation break with their chill rocking company.**.....and here I go again, on and on and on cherishing and respecting.**
Thanks for reading...........<3
Smart Contracts? What are they?
You all are here because you are crypto worms and love writing obviously. Being in the world of crypto really means stumbling upon words related to or near to this vivid and ever growing technology. One such word I came across is **Smart Contracts** and when I read on it, it got me all fascinated and now I want to transfer that spark to you so that you too get to marvel on the advancements of era we have entered in and how technology is transcending the limits of imagination. Also, I will try to make it simple so as to carry more and more readers with the flow.
In my other post, I wrote a good deal about blockchain and also, how it fuels crypto currencies. Here is the link if you wanna read it first : https://read.cash/@DM/tech-behind-cryptocurrency-589348a7
**Smart contract is another awesome application of the BLOCKCHAIN.**
*****Before starting any further, I would like to pitch a scenario which will help you get a hang of it easily:-*****
Most of us rely heavily on online shopping these days. Suppose you ordered some product from an E-commerce site and paid some amount for it online using credit, debit cards or upi etc. Now you already paid and did your share and are just relying on the E-commerce company to send you the product on the delivery date mentioned. Now it may be the case that they were fraud and your product will never come and also, your money is gone forever. Aren't you doomed now?
Or there might be an another case also. Suppose, E-commerce company relies on a logistic service to deliver your product and they paid some of your money to them for their service. But logistic people ditched them and never delivered your product and neither did they return any of the money. Aren't both of you i.e. E-commerce company and you doomed now?
What could be the possible solution for the above situation? One way is to trust some third party which will take your money and will give it to the E-commerce company only when they deliver your product and similarly there will be one between the logistics and company. But then again there are trust issues. Is it write to assume that the third party will never run away with the money leaving the problem as it was before. All we can do is rely on the reputation of the intermediary in this case.
This is where **Smart Contracts** kicks in. Smart contracts are code written in programming language which can specify rules as per the demands of the job and then process accordingly. In this case, **smart contract** can be written to hold the money which we paid to E-commerce company and release it to them only when the delivery completes. All of this happens in a fully automated way and as you know, **code is law.** Smart contracts will follow the rule of **if and then :-**
**If** delivery completes **then** pay the money to company **else** return it back to the customer. All of this is done in a fully automated way and also, it is faster than involving an intermediary which may take up to days. Also, the contract is registered on blockchain and thus no one change it once specified and be it days or years or centuries, the content will be as it is. There is no way any party can tamper with them and any of them can hold it as a proof in case any fraud occurs.
*****A more formal definition!!*****
**Smart Contracts** are automated(self-executing) contracts in which the terms of agreement between the parties participating in the business are written in lines of code. The code and agreements are placed on the distributed and decentralized blockchain technology. It eliminates the need of intermediary or third party or any other legal system and agreements with trust are can be made using them.
*****How can we write smart contracts?*****
Just so you know, smart contracts were first introduced on the Ethereum blockchain. You can write smart contracts for various purposes using **Solidity, java, c++, javascript** and you can explore more about languages. I also found an article about writing your first smart contract on the website freecodecamp.org and here is the link :- https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-write-and-deploy-your-first-smart-contract-341d5e2ffb35/
*****Applications:-*****
They provide transparency.
Can't be tampered with as once they are created, they are immutable.
They provide speed of transactions over the traditional business processes as they are software codes and nothing is manual.
Easy to maintain as everything is on a machine. Storage devices and backup technology is pretty sharp these days.
They provide security as they use best available encryption algorithms.
They eliminate the need for lawyers and other intermediaries thus saving both time and money.
To demonstrate the power of this tech, here is its one use case in crowdfunding platforms. Suppose some startup needs funding for execution of activities and it uses crowdfunding but doesn't gets all the funding they required. In such case the fund deposited with the startup from different donors can be returned using **if then rule.** ***If*** *fund collected* ***then*** *startup can use it* ***else*** *donors can get their money back and rules for this agreement strengthens the appropriate use of crowdfunding building trust among donors and those who require.* Also, donors and receiver can make agreement about righteous use of the money entrusted by people in startup and in other case, legal proceedings can be made and no startup can be fraudulent in this way as all the transactions from different donors and the agreement preceding donations are recorded on the blockchain.
It is a very promising technology transforming the way traditional contracts functioned and strengthening trusts in business, finance, banks etcetera and can really be of great use to your business the way you want.
Thanks for reading friends, hope you liked it.
The evergreen gaze #doglove
When their size is just enough to fill the palm, tail is small like a bird's feather and can merely produce any noise, doggos charm us with a puppy gaze, one which is pretty, always asking for a lots of attention and care. Like come and hold me, make me sit on your chest. And when they get excited for some reason it becomes notorious with small movements of tail oscillating and rotating simultaneously.
When they grow up to a year or so, the gaze starts getting steadier though still developing focus and child like naughtiness is not completely lost. The gaze tells it all that they won't attack yet and strangers are safe if they wanna pat them not in case of all the breeds though. When they get confused, eyes compliment the body movements and head tilts are present in the early phases of development. The body is also not fully developed thus gaze is less alarming and frightening.
Now when they grow up to 5-6 years, the gaze is steady when they enquire something or when they are curious. Focus is supreme and eyes are more of a guardian lacking notorious kiddo attitude. Head tilts are fully developed and they also know when to use them like whenever they are pretty confused or just to look adorable sometimes. Protective attitude is clearly reflected in those concentrated and goal oriented magical eyes. The dedication is at peak to serve their hooman.
Later years of a dog's life bring about laziness. Their body can't take much now also they are more prone to diseases than ever. They still have that charm but focusing those eyes isn't easy as it always was. I can't tell much about their gaze in this stage because my dog is in the prime at present but I really look forward to notice the changes.
The changes along with the gaze like how they sit on four legs in beginning to take a pee and later on they do it with raising one of them, tells us the stages of a dogs life. They actually start marking their area when they change stance of peeing. The food habits also change. They waste a lot when in kiddo phase but as the growth advances, they eat nicely and its only when its too hot, a cool drink will do the trick rather than normal routine food. Once you get connected to them, you will admire the beauty of changes in them for sure.
You can pave the way you want them to follow for sure. Like if you want them to follow some habits for rest of their lives, you got to teach them real early. Its not that they won't follow something if you teach them in later stages but its more on their mood to follow it in this case and less as a discipline. They show aversion to those things which they don't wanna learn or do once learnt in the later stages but they are lot easy to handle when same things are fed to them in early stages.
The sense of devotion and loyalty in dogs always inspires me, how we should stick to those we love no matter what. The tail wags always rejoices me and fills me up with refreshing vibes as if they are celebrating every moment in which they see us and really tells me how to value those who are dear to me. Last but not the least, their eyes, always lovely to those whom they are loyal to & alarming to those against their faith: "**who says they can't speak, the magical glittery pair does the trick for them".**
Keep loving your dogs and thanks for reading<3<3<3<3.
When you grow old.......
Its with the time that you start growing old. Your intellect develops, your thought process changes and now is the time when you can actually judge yourself from some years back and that version floats before your eyes as a very different personality than you are now in most of the cases.
Many incidents highlight this stage of maturity. In my case, when I went to college and made new friends, one day we trolled each other with our Facebook updates from years back and then all of the silliness was before my eyes. That was a hilarious moment of realization when I couldn't agree with my own mind about how I used to be. Anyways, trolling like this always brings back handful of memories of good old days.
As we grow, we realize the world around us. The picture is big suddenly, we are running towards our goals now, pursuing some course mostly or supporting families in totally different ways then we used to earlier like earlier our mom used to ask us to fetch some pre listed goods from market but now we are the one helping her decide what to buy, what are we running short on. Earlier she used to take care of us and we being pain in the ass always but now caring for her in later days of her life when she is not strong enough but is humble and gentle as always and we realize the fact that efforts are now to be made from our side too to support family in all the ways.
Small changes in daily life themselves tell us how our roles are changing, and with advancing years of life how our responsibilities getting multiplied. Children around have started calling us big brother now or if in early thirties then the really grown up salutation i.e. **uncle.** We now are role model for many of youngsters in family and neighborhood if we are doing pretty good and at the same time if things are not working out then people start calling names and family sometimes also kicks butt though from family's side its positive reinforcement. Success now not only means getting good grades but proving your worth in society, in your family and for the good of your country and of course it really matters if you are raising money.
Gone are the days when father used to drop us school, its time when we drop or pick him whether it be office or some place. Routine hospital visits are there but this time you aren't sitting on your father's shoulder or mother's lap but you are representing a guardian to your parents or younger ones of the family. These of course are the days when you prefer tea over anything after a crunching day.
We most probably have attended some funerals of the major family members, have seen our elders retiring from their services, our friends are getting married and its the time when our word really matters. If we say something, we tend to do it because people rely on very majorly on our commitments now and its not just some 10 year old's word to get his homework done and then getting scolded the very next day in school in front of his friends and giggling after being scolded for no reason but cheer from other little buds.
Its the time when we need to understand what we mean to people around us now, what our perspective of life is, what is the reason we are here, what our goals are, what we actually wanna pursue and most importantly, efficiently planning our success so that we actually do all mentioned above. Its only when we are worth something that we become the backbone of our family, if we are hardworking, if we realize our responsibilities towards those who never held back in providing for us. This realization should fuel us up to succeed on planned time so as to provide for our providers and it always will add up to our motivation for achieving.
**Its been a good number of times me hearing the phrase :- "don't only live for yourselves but for others too"** and now with the advancing years all of it makes sense to me and I realize how we are meant to give back more than we have consumed this far so as to strike an equilibrium for the smooth functioning of our lives as well as those who rely on us and if we succeed to include those in our success too on whom we never relied then we are really actually giving back.

Optimistic Clan
Hey friends, hope you all are holding up well. I am here to talk about a very common but big problem in present times when there are various ways of sharing your thoughts with other person for example :- social media apps(in the form of audio, video or texts), calls, pictures etcetera. A single message can make you ponder about it whole day till you receive another and thus you need to be emotionally intelligent to tackle such situations. You need to be a good judge of company around you so as to protect your own intellect and make wise decisions. Whenever you are in company of someone, it may have a positive effect or negative but its very important for you to know what it is gonna be.
You can't waste all your time on a person who is least bothered about you and is present there just to satisfy his own needs and motives. You should know when to cut out from a situation in case you're being pulled in unwillingly else you will have to devote your time to that unnecessarily. You should act cleverly and decisively when someone tries to get closer to you. It's better if you allow a person in your comfort zone after careful observations. In some cases, you may not be able to decide it till a considerable amount of time goes by but you should take care of not getting involved too much in the guy's life during that period.
Some people are there who really try to get involved with someone and in their personal life giving suggestions for free. But you should know, free is mostly not good. You should only listen to those who speak wisely and are closer to you. A million sentences from a person who doesn't matter are far better than a wise advice from someone close to you and who will always think good for you and will be there for you.
Making all decisions on your own may strike back hard at times but at that time you should have someone to fall back to, who amazes you with their nature, who you really admire, those who won't condemn your decision at once, those who will be warm enough to repel bad vibes filling you with all the positivity in the universe, those who won't judge you and tell you gently :- "**what you decision really lacked according to them?"**. Also, you see these can be only those people who really listen to you and you listen to them. Such people are earned with your nature in first place and true efforts on both sides for number of years unconditionally. And its always better to rely on them instead on relying on someone you hardly know.
****What qualifies as emotional intelligence?****
Trusting only what you see and then deciding :- **what you are gonna do about it?** Or maybe getting the message from a very trustworthy source(we always have at least one).
Sharing your thoughts and secrets with the one you are literally close to and qualifies as trustworthy for you.
Being a man of words as it avoids millions of misunderstandings and community can't raise finger against you as they know you as a **"Man of Words".**
Not being a gossipmonger as you are more vulnerable to hatred once you engage in it.
Being positive to only those tasks who you think you should do for others as per your intellectual grinding and your bond with that guy and not just saying yes always as some tasks are really not meant for you.
Determined towards your goals so that you don't have to unnecessarily think about this and that.
Delivering a wise speech always and utter what's really important. Being a chatterbox throwing advices reduces your credibility.
Knowing what's good for you and what isn't gonna help really.
I really hope you guys choose what's best for you and make the most out of your life. May you always remain high on wave of success with healthy and happy people around you who are always there for you.
Hope you liked it. **SPONSORS ARE MOST WELCOME<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3**
Pomodoro technique #TimeManagement
Hey there mates. This article aims at boosting your work efficiency with the help of Pomodoro technique. Now many of you might be thinking what it actually is?. Pomodoro(Italian for tomato) is a time management technique. In this, we break down our work in time intervals and then accomplish the whole task in separate intervals.
*****HOW IT IS DONE?*****
Break down your big work in smaller tasks.
Pick first task and set a 25 minutes timer.
Focus on that task for next 25 minutes and try to avoid interruptions as much as possible. Like : don't check your phone, avoid taking calls if it is avoidable etc.
After 25 minutes, take a small break for 5 minutes.
Once 4 Pomodoro are complete, take a big break of 15-30 minutes.
Working on your task for 25 minutes consistently makes you more focused and productive and the break helps in countering the case when you feel overworked and then focus drops.
Here is the link to a Pomodoro timer I found online and you can use it in case you want https://pomofocus.io/. There are other timers also which perform similar task.
You need to take care of the thing that Pomodoro can't be broken. Once you set the timer, you should focus till it goes of. It is an unbreakable rule and you should keep it very clear in mind. Especially for texts, unimportant calls or social media and you domestic chores should be avoided for that time if possible.
*****Preparations:*****
Make a todo list. If its a bigger job, you should keep it segmented for different time intervals. You can use digital todo list apps or pen paper, whatever suits you.
If you have smaller tasks which take less than a Pomodoro then you should group as many of them together as required to consume a Pomodoro.
If you get down some minutes before then you can explore that topic more as over studying something will bring more clarity anyways.
You can keep some very small or overlearning tasks in handy in case you complete a task before a Pomodoro and then can go through them.
*****Advantages of using Pomodoro:*****
You will be more focused and the intervals will help you in not getting exhausted.
Its better than working on a task for hours and then feeling exhausted, overworked and stopping it right away. Also, if you work on a task for hours one day then you will feel saturated and tend to not work at all the next day.
You will learn strategic planning to accomplish complex tasks.
Those who struggle with focusing on their jobs can try this strictly and I wish good luck for their results.

Types of marriages in Hinduism<3
Lots of love for all my dear readers. Marriage is a pious union of two souls in different cultures around the globe. Today, I am gonna talk about marriage practices in my country India and culture Hinduism specifically. I warmly respect all the cultures and variety of practices they follow and here I am, ready to share my culture with all of my enthusiastic pumped readers.
In my society, marriages are a very sensitive affair and also topic of pride. Both of the sides try their best as permitted by their budget & resources and leave no stone unturned in giving their best. Preparations fire off months before marriages with invitation cards and here in India, they are printed on paper in different fancy varieties. Now-a-days with boom in creativity and sources to advertise businesses, skies are limit for both variety of cards and prices. I am attaching below a picture of typical marriage invitation card in India(my north Indian society specifically).
***Marriage invitations are always in vibrant and lively colors and they often portray our idols and holy symbols from pious holy books and Vedic culture.***
***They have sacred writings(mantras) which are often taken from holy books or are written as praises for godly worship.***
***Whole lot of styles with varying prices are available in the market and recently, modernization has hit this industry too...I have heard of a couple in India who got their card printed as WhatsApp chats symbolizing their pre-wedding phase.***
I earlier wrote about marriage ceremony and different functions organized before both bride and groom tie knot. You may read it on this link : -https://read.cash/@DM/weddings-in-india-bcb41698
**CONCEPT OF ARRANGE MARRIAGE AND LOVE MARRIAGE IN INDIA:-**
**Arrange marriage** is one which is arranged by the families and not individuals participating in that on their own. They meet through some common connection in both the families. There are many messengers who are available for this work in families. For example : your daughter may get introduced in your sister's family through your sister only, some neighbor of yours suggests you a superb "**sarv-guna-sampanna**" girl for your son and believe me, once you attain the age, everyone will be a matrimonial website for you in family meetups or functions. Once you get introduced through a third party and families agree to meet, to be bride and groom get a chance to see one another and if families are frank enough to let them decide whether or not to continue, they let them meet on some specific date on their own. Depending on open mindedness of families, various modifications are being made to this arrange marriage system thus making it quite flexible for those who were hell lot of busy for love and all during their college days and now want their families to set them up with their worthy partner.
Arrange marriage itself is a very complex process when in early phase.
Firstly, both the partners should like each other and their families too. Their occupations should also be compatible. And all of this is ensured once they meet or in some cases only family have a say in whether they like each other or not and not the to be bride and groom.
Secondly, they need to be matched as per their kundlis(it is a religious document as per a person's birth in Hinduism) need to match.
This practice of arrange marriage is highly appreciated in most of the Indian socities.
**Love marriage** is another practice which is not very much like by families. In this, individuals themselves have found their partners maybe at their college or workplace or anywhere as love may happen in a glimpse of moment as most of you might know. They then introduce each other in their families when they have decided that they want to be together for lifetime. Now, many families like modern Indians who are not based out in rural areas or conservative regions of country where caste system is deep rooted agree to love marriages once they meet and like the choice of their progeny but most of the families are those who disapprove of love marriages as the shift hasn't yet occurred in my country in discrimination on the basis of caste. If you talk of caste system, it is an entire study of lifetime and is taught as a major portion in History of country but at this point in this article, you may consider as different origin of people based on their work , birth, community in which they live and there are a different variety of metrics which different society introduce on their own.
Those in love struggle a lot if not from a same caste as they have to go against their families with whom they are since birth, blood relations and sincerely respect them. They have taken care of your every single need and now suddenly you guys have different opinions on an arrangement of lifetime, it really gets hectic over here and individuals participating either succeed in marrying or they part for the sake of families or they separate, really very sensitive topic and matter of pride for families as I said earlier.
Also, families believe that since she/he is not of their choice and hence they don't know how good of a support he/she will be to them. Whether the choice is good or they will have to compromise for rest of their lives and this also makes them unwilling to support love marriages.
Different castes here in India have different food choices, cultural practices, rituals and the seniors think that someone of other caste won't be as compatible in these terms as someone from ours.
Love marriages are big riddles here and are really unpredictable in terms of outcome and conduct.
****According to Hinduism there are eight types of marriages:-****
The two types are wrote above are the modernized practices and below are those from earlier periods which were prevalent in the times of kings and gods.
****Brahma marriage :-**** This is the supreme of all the eight types. In this a man first completes his study period and the after learning, his family finds the right girl for him and girl's father ensures that the partner has the right knowledge of Vedas. As you might know, there is a practice of dowry in Indian marriages but it is discouraged in this kind and is considered sin.
****Daiva marriage:-**** In this type, girl's family waits for a time when she is to be wed and if suitable groom is not found out, she would be married to someone chose by family on the basis of priest's matchmaking. This is kind of like arranged marriage.
****Arsha marriage:-**** This is the practice in which girl is given to a sage. In case of the sages with lots of knowledge and persona, the kings often gave them their daughters in exchange of some cows.
****Prajapatya marriage:-**** In this practice, bride's father went out to search groom and then married his daughter with him, treating him with respect. In this kind, there is no monetary transaction unlike arsha but it also unlike Brahma in which groom's father searches bride.
****Gandharva marriage:-**** This kind is relatable to love marriage. Both the individuals used to get married without the knowledge or sanction of parents. Unlike the modern dating, they took vows in presence of some deity, person or tree etc.
****Asure marriage:-**** This is kind of use of wealth to fulfil desires. In this kind, male part gives all the wealth to bride and her kinsmen in order to marry her. Its like buying a commodity to fulfil desires with the help of your wealth. It may be because of the greed of bride's father. As of know, it is not accepted by Indian law.
****Rakshasa marriage:-**** When kinsmen of bride are slain or wounded, the bride is abducted forcibly and taken by the groom. Its much like a rape and is highly unlikely to happen in present scenario. **Rakshasa means devil in Hindi** and thus marriage's name explains it all. It is a sinful act.
****Paishacha marriage:-**** This kind is one in which the male seduces female under the influence of some intoxication, sleep etc. It is a sinful act and was also condemned when it was practiced. It is relatable to date rape in present times.
I have taken help from wikipedia to support my article and hope you liked it. Its not aimed at hurting any sentiments of any community and is a step toward sharing my religion's depths with the greater world outside.

Tech behind cryptocurrency
Hello readers, hope you all are rocking and achieving in your lives. Like me, it might be the case that most of us joined this platform after getting curious about cryptocurrency and finding ways to earn it online. If not, never mind but I got to know this way only.
Anyways, after getting here I started wandering a lot about cryptocurrency and how it works and hence got to know the technology behind it while exploring more and more about our virtual currency. I am dedicating this article to a basic understanding of **BLOCKCHAIN(**the tech behind crypto**)** and I will also write about how it supports virtual or crypto currency. I will try to keep it simple as possible for it to be sensible enough for a non tech guy.
*****Basic terminology regarding blockchain:*****
**Transaction:-** In this article, transaction refers to payment in crypto from one individual to another.
**Algorithm:-** It is a set of instructions which can be coded into a programming language to achieve some goal. Like an algorithm to print sum of 2 and 2.
**Hash:-** A hash is a piece of code which is used to generate unique fixed size value from arbitrary value. In case of a transaction, transaction details like sender, receiver and date of payment can be arbitrary values and a combo of digits and character like "**dfhajdfh1237234jdghajdfhjadsfhj"** can be hash code for it.
*****BLOCKCHAIN:*****
As the name specifies, it is a chain of blocks. Chain represents a connection over here which is between the participating blocks in it. Now, what are these blocks we are talking of? **First of all, these blocks are logical units and not something physical**. They store some data(transactions in case of cryptocurrencies) and thus represent some memory(say some KB or MB). Nature of stored data depends on the use case of blockchain. In case of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin or bitcoin cash, this data is details of transactions like who is the sender of amount, who received it and time on which it is received.
*****Features of Blockchain Technology:*****
****Connection between blocks:-**** Each block containing data is linked to each other in a unique way in this tech. Every block stores two unique codes which help them to form the chain relation. These unique codes are called hash codes. You may consider these hash codes as some random unique combination of characters and numbers like ***badkfjadf12123asdadjh1238.*** One of this hash code is calculated with the help of data stored on the current block while the other code is of the previous block. The hash code generated with the help of data on the block changes every time the data on that block is changed. Just so you know, this hash code is generated with the help of **hashing algorithms(**these are some set of instructions written in a programming language which produces a random unique combo when given some input data like in case of transaction, details of that transaction are used to generate the hash code**). Example of hashing algorithm : SHA-256.**
****Use of two hash codes on a block :-**** If you are thinking that why are there two hash codes on every block, they are to ensure that a block once included in the chain can't be tampered. Each time data on a block changes, a unique hash code is generated but since every block stores hash of its previous block, the new hash of previous block and the hash stored by next block mismatches which makes all the blocks ahead of that faulty block invalid(because if you try to change the hash on next block, it will lead to hash mismatch on its succeeding block). This makes blockchain tamper proof.
Thus, cryptocurrencies implement block chain technology for transaction records and in case of bitcoin transactions, blockchain is also defined as a decentralized(no central authority to monitor) ledger(an account book containing summarized info of debit and credit). A transaction once registered in the form of a block can't be tampered and all of this is ensured without a centralized monitoring system thus providing a whole new payment standard to crypto.
*****Meaning of decentralization in a transaction:-*****
I have used a word decentralization in the para above. To explain it, we will take a transaction example in which three guys pay fourth guy an amount of 5 dollars each.
Suppose, there are four guys **A, B, C, D.**
A has 20 dollars, B has 20 dollars, C has 10 dollars and they all owe D, 5 dollars each. Now when they pay him with the money, they pay one by one and each time a block is generated which stores the amount paid, amount left with the payer and the amount receiver has now. After three separate transactions, D has 15 dollars while A has 15, B has 15 and C has 5 dollars. All of this was registered sequentially on a block and interconnected by the way of hash codes. Every payer has a copy of this chain which is called decentralization and thus they can see the entire transaction on their level. If one of them tries to make an invalid transaction now like if C tries to pay 10 more dollars to A, he can't as everyone has a copy of the chain of transactions that took place and thus it can be verified that it is an invalid transaction as C doesn't have enough funds. This method in which everyone has their own copy of entire transaction is what we call decentralization.
*****A topic of curiosity : how are bitcoins generated?*****
Everyone knows that the currency of general use i.e. paper notes are printed by the central bank of countries. But unlike these general currencies, a virtual currency like bitcoin is generated by the miners. **Miners** is a term given to those people who participate in generation of bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. They are called miners in analogy to how gold is obtained when miners do mining. Miners have their own hardware on which they perform crypto mining and how they do it is described below:-
Whenever transactions in cryptocurrency like bitcoin are made like if you get an upvote on this platform, it will be a transaction in crypto and crypto miners look out for these transactions, validate them and then they form the blocks of these transactions on their hardware using algorithms. Now suppose, there are six transactions namely A, B, C, D, E and F and two mines form blocks with transactions A, B, C and A, E, F respectively then only one block will be chosen to be the part of the chain and this is decided with the help of either **"proof of work" or "proof of stake"**. You can read about both of these online.
After selection of a block to be added to the blockchain, miner whose block is chosen is rewarded in bitcoin and also, he/she collects the transaction fee of the transactions on his added block in the form of bitcoin. This is how bitcoin is mined or generated.
So basically crypto generation occurs when a miner is rewarded for setting up bunch of transactions into the block and when he/she is being selected to put his/her block on chain.
The value of bitcoin is based on demand and supply principle.

Solo Trips
Hey there amazing readers and wanderlust out there. This post is inspired by my recent trip to a hill station where I had to explore on my own. I decided to share the experience with you guys and also some things which you would need in this scenario to make your trip awesome.
Since you have decided to travel alone, I assume that you are an explorer. I too went there to experience the solitude in lap of nature. It was a roundtrip in 2 days. Just so you know, I went to Nanital, a beautiful city and home to mountains. I wanted to develop a new perspective and re energize for the up coming challenges in life and therefore I opted to go. When the air hits you amidst birds chirping and a lake view set in the feet of mountains, you surely are gonna feel relaxed and that serenity fills your soul with positivity and momentum towards your goals. Breaks in such places are always better to relax and at the same time, you enjoy your company when travelling solo towards constructive thought process and rejuvenation goes along too. I enjoyed boating over there in famous naina lake and it was purifying deep down. I enjoyed on foot exploration too and also, I got to know that I have wasted my physique lying in home as I was out of breath after walking for a few hundred meters. I enjoyed seeing happy faces of people over there and I interacted with some of them as I asked them for photographs of mine. My phone camera was a superb company over there and beautiful shots are lifetime memories for me.
*****Here are some suggestions to make your trip the way you wanted it to be:-*****
If you are obsessed with selfies or want to take some really good pictures, you can't just rely on others so you do carry a **selfie stick.**
Don't just eat at restaurants, enjoy famous street food over there and try to find places consulting localites.
If you are one of those vibe driven writers who like to write on spot, you can carry your diary and pen and in case you write on mobile phone only, thats well and good.
Do carry a power bank. You never know.... maybe your phone will die when you need it the most.
Carry different denominations of currency. This will help in you in spending on small stalls and also, keep at least enough amount for a day's expenditure as on tourist places atm machines are mostly empty and you may need to go far than you expect on first day only to withdraw money tiring you even more after your journey.
Don't rely on digital payments only. Carry atm and cash with you. You never know when you bank decides to let you down.
Plan your trip before you go. This will save time and as a single person travelling, you will know which places are best for you.
Decide clothing as per weather and modes of transportation and carry basic things like a cap which will help you lot if you are out in sun exploring the place.
It's always good to have a trustworthy person in your destination so as to help you out in case of any mishap. If there is no-one then people at your hoetel maybe.
Carry your ids which might be required at certain places.
If you are choosing a destination far away, go for enough time so that you get a proper sleep and rest. Then only you will enjoy the place. As in my case, two days roundtrip turned out to be exhausting and I was sleep deprived too when I got back home.
Carry a small backpack for the things you will need while you go out visiting(like earphones, goggles etc etc).
I wish you guys a very safe and rejoicing trip and memories of lifetime when you enjoyed being with you and the journey will always portray your reliance on yourselves.<3
Universe Within
Why am I writing an article with this title? Is it really a very scientific thing I am gonna mention here? If this is what you guys are thinking, I just wanna say to you that I am gonna talk about a very core relation which every lucky being has in his or her life and how that person is the portrayal of biggest phenomena. I actually was very much interested in a simple title because its kind of a general law of nature that seemingly simple things have awful explanations but this one relation is this special, I needed the biggest possible metaphor.
With all the love and belongingness, we call her mother. Whenever I observe her doing household chores with dedication and responsibility, I always see how it shows general work culture prevailing in our lives for fruitful growth in career. Aren't the dedication and responsibility base of a work horse personality.
When ever she showers her blessings, sometimes in the form of smallest possible gestures and other times in the form of biggest possible miracles, it always teaches me of having faith. Faith is the key. To be someone, one needs to have faith in himself, his ideas, thought process and dreams. Your faith is your strength. You can't work on something till you yourself don't believe it.
How she is always determined to believe in her family, in her progeny while denying every negativity and living on little odds which no one believes but only she has a gut feeling that it will work for her child, this **never give up** attitude is what constitutes a solid frame in personality. What if animals give up on migration when the place is not right for them in some season, what if a deer gives up on itself when a lion chases her in wild, they won't survive. She is the portrayal of this superb rule of never giving up too.
How she never asks for returns for what she does for us and sticks to her schedule, how she is consistent like the earth keeps on rotating and revolving and there is no doubt how logical it is to call Earth : **Mother Earth.**
The warmth her care brings and motherly bliss in her way of addressing us, her aura, aren't they cozy as the life supporting sun's heat. How she supports our sustenance with the boost of energy by just being there for us in whatsoever be the matter. Isn't she the source of limitless energy.
When she understands what is there in your mind and how is your mood without even communicating, totally like a magician. She knows and you too know that she always knows. Her desperate tries to restore you regardless of your behavior at that moment, is it only me who also sees her as a festive vibe which rejoices you anyways.
She is always there **apart** from everything because you are **a part** of her. She thinks of you no other than herself. And isn't this analogous to the nature which nurtures all the life forms because they constitute it. They are its identity. To her, you are also her identity and whether you love her or not she will always be there. She is perennial, evergreen and a manifestation of everything.
*I want to end this with a few lines of myself :-*

A Dog's Perspective
What a fresh morning...birds chirping already and somebody just turned the brightness up. Guess it's the time to lick my pal. Let's find my way to the bed. Why is my tail still so inactive, fist I will quickly shake myself to get the momentum going. All set now, lets get in bed, I will sniff heavily to let him know and tail swing should be firm. Where is his face? Can't find it.......here it is....hello there mate lick lick. Why are you so lazy? Comeee on get up, it's time to go out. Put your hands on me. Pat me for being so good always, I am a sweetie. There you go. Rub my belly. Make me feel nice and being loved. I am your all time guard and since you are finally moving in bed now, take me out please for you might be flexible but I have a strict bathroom schedule and also, I need fresh air, I am not a sick ass like you.
Nice walk it was. Grabbed a stick on my way back. It was nice meeting poodle but her buddy is not as nice as mine. I need some more pats and now you can feed me too my stomach is being emptied and its 8o'clock already. Aaah he is back again, irritating newspaper guy, he might harm my family with that newspaper he's gonna throw anytime in 1, 2, 3 and let's bark..Let's bark in chorus. I am kind of introvert though but doggos in neighbor can take part for this barking chorus as established by our rich DOGOCULTURE. Finally he is away now all of the family members can reach out to me in order they get up and give me more pats and love for this act of bravery. I will lie down for a bit as its a harsh day and I need to get up to whine and make funny sounds when my mate's father goes for work.
HAHA whining was fun today now I will just sleep as everyone is busy already plus I hate sun, my single costume is too much for this hot weather.....ughhhh why am I always feeling hot. Let's get in the cozy area near source of cold weather....there it is my favorite spot and fan together.
Noon has already passed. No more overhead sun. Lets go out in the yard. Who is that on the street? Heyyyyyy don't get this close to my house **bark bark bark harrrrgggghhhhhh.** Phewww we are safe now.
Where is mate? I need belly rubs. He might be missing me now. Hey there....I know you missed me. Your hands hurt I guess. Get them off your laptop and feel my nice hair. They are so silky and will cure you. Hey why aren't you listening to me?

Friends Like Family
Hey there buddies. Lots of love for you all. We come across lots of super crazy souls in our lives but with few of them, our vibes get synced. These people often become family and you start sharing deepest of your secrets without any uneasiness and its like a warm harmonious aura whenever these guys are around. Yes my friends they are no other but those very special countable faces which we choose out of billions of random people to be our other blood family and they become your partners in every joy and sorrow for the rest of your life. This post is all about holding tight to those who are there for you and in whom life you are of a great value even when you are nothing.
I am gonna talk about the investments in relations and returns in lines below.
Friends like family is not just an article but a post dedicated to all my dear ones and a tribute to this community too which makes me feel special in some way.
****Being important in someone's life:-****
As you grow up, world around you grows along and very soon you realize that being social is essentially the human nature and we can't deny it. But for forming that other family, you choose people very carefully and when you both marvel on how you guys get along, its a perfect collab. Such a group always respect you and your chain of thoughts is always toward supplementing other in some way in that group. Such a energizing and enthusiastic bond creates vibes which drives you to perform, gives you reasons to rock and of course you want to give these guys back who were and are always there for you. Such a harmony can only be maintained when you are fully dedicated, when you've put every single effort to make every moment of your group the one of it's kind whenever you get the chance and all of its happens itself when you know what it is and how important it is to mean something in someone's life. The realization of this fact itself makes you outshine in some way and people admire you even more. This shouldn't be taken in a sense of some sort of greed of people's appreciation but in a way of strengthening yourself surrounding yourself with the company that helps you channelize all your potential for greater good. A people's person is already someone who matters and its a joy of a bigger community when he/she succeeds in life. Make your aura a constructive one, which really has the energy to bring about changes in other's life. Being important in someone's life is all about being the sun every sunflower wants**.**
*****How surprising it can be:-*****
You can literally die of heart attack when you reap your investment in people and this heart attack will be due to the overwhelming love of people and every small victory of theirs which they now want to share with you, their new experiences, their perspectives of lives and who knows when karma pays off with a huge bonus. People will love to celebrate your happiness and who doesn't want someone to mourn when said. There is some kind of leadership within you and people are attracted by your persona. You now have a base where you already have proved your worth and it will always push you for bigger opportunities in life and success too. At times, your generous and supportive behavior will be the key factor in getting any help whenever you need it. This way you will praise yourself every moment for using your bonding prowess to make lives better by being important to someone. A live real life bonus I wanna share with you is that, a very similar nature of generosity and investment in people paid me with a bonanza of blessings on my 22nd birthday and this really fueled me to be more determined and success oriented so that I make everyone's blessing come true.
BTW today is my 22nd birthday and emotional gush compelled me to share with you guys how people can be your biggest strength. <3
Special thanks to DeeJ<3(A very special friend of mine)
How to cash out your crpto?
Hey folks, it was my first experience only with this platform that I earned some crypto and of course I am pleased after I withdrew my first income in lifetime. Since I was not sure how to get BCH earned into fiat currency, I searched various platforms and with a dear friend's suggestion about a website, I finally got the BCH reflected in my bank account in INR(Indian National Rupees). Since many of you might be wondering to do so, therefor I decided to write an article about the same.
***Disclaimer : Neither am I promoting any online crypto trading platform nor am I associated with it in any way. Also, I am not encouraging anyone to choose the platform I chose and not ensuring any safe transaction or something. Bef0re proceeding, you may yourself check the risks included in online trading and in case you share any personal details on any platform as per they might ask, you yourself are responsible for it.***
As per the news sources online, Indian government recently lifted ban on crypto trading and since then many companies related to crypto trading are working round the clock to provide us various crypto services. Some of them are **UnoCoin, Coinbase, Coindcx, wazirX** along with many other names. I chose coindcx for trading. It was favourable for me as BCH/INR trade was easily possible over there.
****To set up an account with coindcx :****
You need to get to their website and sign up to set up an account with them.
They support more than 30 different coins along with BCH and you can check those details on their website.
After signing up, it provides you a crypto wallet as well as an INR wallet.
I had my crypto in bitcoin.com app wallet other than read.cash wallet and I had to deposit it to the wallet address provided in the deposit section so as to carry on with exchange.
To deposit your crypto with them, all you need is to go to the Funds on the top right part of your screen and under it, you will find deposit. After selecting deposit, you need to choose the coin you want to deposit and then it will give you a wallet address both in barcode and text format.
(path : Funds->Deposit->select the coin you want to deposit.)
You can use the address provided to get your money from any wallet to coindcx wallet. Just head to your current wallet. In case of read.cash, you just need to select the send money option and then enter the address of coindcx wallet. In case of bitcoin.com app wallet on your phones, choose setting on bottom right then go to Sweep Paper Wallet and then either scan the barcode provided on coindcx website or enter the address manually. In both the cases, the next option would be to select the amount you need to transfer and along with that a nominal transaction fee will be there.
Now you have your assets in coindcx wallet and you can trade them for INR or whichever currency you want or maybe some other cypto. You can either sell your assets or use dcx insta.
If you chose to sell your assset, it will take time from 30 mins to hours to find a match and then exchange but in case you instantly want to exchange(INR in my case), you can use dcx insta. Its really fast and the money got reflected in my account within a minute.
There are 2 steps to set yourself up for restriction free trading. You need to upload KYC documents on their website and other thing is to add your bank details in which you want fiat currency amount(your local bank).
Even if you are not done with KYC, you can do trade under restrictions. There is some amount of 5000 INR which you can still trade without even completing your KYC. All these things are clearly mentioned on their website.
*****Things to keep in mind while in process:*****
When you transfer crypto from your current wallet to coindcx wallet as it will take some time to register your crypto on new block and 3 confirmations will be needed to register the amount in your coindcx wallet. As you might already be knowing, whenever a transaction in crypto takes places and it is put into some block, it is with the confirmation of some percent of people already owning that block.
While the transaction takes place, you need not to panic as it will take some time. In my case, crypto transfer from bitcoin.com wallet to coindcx wallet took more than 30 minutes. You can also download the pdf document of your transaction while its going on and when its done.
Read all the things on the website carefully before proceeding with anything and also read them on their privacy policies.
You can only trade the crypto once the deposit in coindcx wallet has been completed and for that, you need to keep an eye while the deposit is going on.
Keep your wallet password safe with yourself. Avoid sharing it on any cost.
A good internet connection is recommended as its a matter of transaction and not just any other transaction but crypto.
These guys also have a coindcx android app. You can use it for all the things I mentioned above or their website, whichever way suits you.
Do comment your queries if you have any and I will try to answer them with my latest experience of first crypto withdrawal using coindcx.
Thankyou<3
This is just to tell you guys that I just withdrew my first income earned through read.cash and I just want to thank a lot to the community. Though I faced some difficulties in withdrawing the amount in my currency(INR) but it feels really nice after the amount is reflected in my bank account. Thankyou so much.
Being in love
Isn't is strange, how you had a very normal thought process with a routine lifestyle and you used to spend most of your time with friends and family but then, one day, a random person catches your attention and a strange mixture of hormones yield you confused, conscious and excited at the same time. Initially, people would always ask themselves : **Is it love or what?**.
Soon, you find that a strange set of events is now added to your lifestyle and you can't deny it no matter how hard you try. This new curiosity about that one face eats you up most of your time and you do things to satisfy yourself. You want to know everything about that face, you want glimpses every now and then, there's a weird smile every time you come across each other, you are offended whenever someone jokes about this new friend whom you are strangely fond of and of course, you can't see them getting closer to anyone other than you..it is true in my case at least.
How bewildering it is to become the greatest admirer of a face out of billions, having it all the times in your mind and trying to be as close to it, physically, as possible. This state may render even some really smart and mature minds restless. How to be sure of it though? It's mostly not that easy but if it's uncontrollable, then it's a sure thing, you are in love.
When this feeling is new, mind remains in a very pious state about your dream face. These days, social media plays a big role and chit chat starts over there very soon. It's really pretty easy to contact almost everyone these days. 90s people be like : **we barely had letters, pigeons........you guys can chat even on payment app**....If both of you feel the same way, you chat from minima to maxima everyday and those innocent chats are the best. If you are not the comfortable flirty types before being together, you really will love your chats when you read them sometime in future given you are together now. Those chats can be your **topic of love** for a day over some great coffee.
These chats often lead to conclusions and finally, one of them comes with proposal and its really amazing in case of true love. People speak their heart out while they try to earn their better half.
The process before we decide to propose is really discomforting though. We don't know what's gonna happen and even if we have a intuition that it's gonna be a yes, out heart pumps more than normal and we really are on cloud nine if its a yes. It's something so satisfying as spring, sun soothing your souls, pleasant warm scented breeze bidding farewell to cruel winter, flora being awarded with a new life, birds chirping with a marvelous music of their own and harmony persists.
Thankyou....<3
Unpredictable Dogs
Praying for your awesome health and happiest upcoming year , namaste from India. I am really bewildered by how dogs react sometimes and it pushed me to write another article about them on my favorite platform.
Your dog may freak you out sometimes especially when its a bulky breed like mine. My dog is a 6 years old German Shepherd and he bit me hard on my arm today when I tried to push him away to go sit on some other place and this inspired me to type some protips for you with a broken wrist.
*****What exactly happened?*****
We both were basking in the sun as this is wintry time of year here in my country and I noticed that Harry(my dog) was feeling really hot by now. So, I decided to grab him by hair around his neck and instructed with my finger to go sit in shade but he didn't move. So, I tried once again with a firm grip and I ended up pulling his hair. Its not like I did it for the first time but he always gave a cute warning. This time, he adopted a rather violent stance. Mr. dog instantly turned his head with speed of light and very soon, my wrist and fingers were grinded in his mouth. He bit twice, second time doubling the force and let me go. I jumped up in pain. It was like a million needles pierced at once on my wrist and finger joints. Thankfully, its just pain and no fractures but I really learnt to take care of my activities while I interact with doggo in future*****.*****
*****I really want all of you guys to :*****
Take care of your dog's mood.
If he is fan of cold environment, hot weather conditions can really turn him into beast.
If your dog is a trained one, you don't need to take much care before bothering them but if they haven't received proper training due to any reasons, you need to be cautious as many of them have bad temper.
Do give them time or they may start getting unused to your stimulus and this may make them act weirdly.
Take care of what you are feeding them with. After all, you are what you eat and this applies to animals also in some cases. Like, after feeding my dog a non vegetarian meal, he becomes more aggressive.
Don't pull their hair as it may cost you a badly hurt wrist.
Don't poke their ears if they are a breed with big ears as it may get them really angry if conditions are unfavorable.
Take care. Enjoy parenting.
Dear Daadi(Grandmother)
Namaste from India. I love observing and writing about various beautiful relationships and roles we play during whole span of our human lives. I am always attracted to the purity of thoughts people participating in these relations hold for each other. Today I wanna write about grandparents. Since my grandfather passed away when I wasn't even on this earth, therefore, I am gonna share with you guys a very special bond I shared with my grandmother, stages of this pious connection which most of us have with ourr grandparents and also, my perspective towards how you should thank them for their unconditional love for you.
I remember my childhood, my mother running after me, scolding me and of course, she is gonna hit me if I am caught as I committed some mischief and I would take cover behind my ***Daadi(granny)*** and then, in her elderly and world's sweetest voice she would say please stop, don't hit him and mom would stop after some failed desperate tries. At this time I was really young, a kid and I would use her for this purpose every now and then. I would never sleep with my parents and she also would never sleep without me by her side. I remember, when I was some 10 or 12 years of age, her eye sight started getting weaker and I would always pour eyedrops. We always used to go for long walks to the village market for buying goods of daily need and she would treat me always. Due to advancing age, she felt tired midway always and then we used to stop mostly under a tree as it was our daily rest spot. I often curiously looked around for things, used to throw stones in nearby brook and she would watch out for threats around and warned me if I try doing something harmful for me. She would sing something to me while we sit watching beautiful village sunset, amidst birds chirping and soothing breeze healing mother earth scorched with afternoon sun's heat and preparing her for a beautiful moonlit night. I would always dance around and soon we used to return home. Bedtime was the best time always. I had a fear of dark. She always used to tell me bed time stories, those she remembered from her amazing years of youth and adulthood. Also, sometimes ,she would make stories of her own. Mostly, she would fell asleep and then I used to say ***Daadi***(***granny***) please ***sunao na(tell me)*** and then she used to resume again in sleepy voice. This happened always till I either gave up getting her up or I myself sleep.
Evening was the time for god always. She would chant prayers and do her beads and I always accompanied her. We had three places in our village house where we prayed everyday. After prayers, it was snack time and ***Daadi*** would spoon feed me always. It was affection at its peak, beyond every happiness I could ever receive and I always enjoyed it every bit.
Soon we all moved to some other city as my father was transferred from his workplace. At this time, I grew up and my age was 18. Now, she was getting weaker everyday and I always ensured giving my best in her care. Medicines on time, I used to show her pictures on google, those of various things which grew out of her imagination and then she would laugh wonderfully being amazed as she knew nothing about modern technology. It was something as advanced for her as time machine is for us. I always knew, this is the time when she needs me the most and I never disappointed her. How she used to cover me with blankets when I was a kid and I was doing the very same thing everyday now. Massaging her feet sometime would make her the happiest person on the planet and I really loved it. Of course I miss her and that's what fueled me to write this post today.
She was diagnosed with Parkinson disease(https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/parkinsons-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20376055) when I was some 13 or 14 years of age and since then, to the date when she passed away on 13 of july 2020, I always gave her medicines three times a day except for 3 years when I went for college to some other city. I am not sharing this information for sympathy but it was a beautiful process and therefore, I decided to share it with you guys. Parkinson had phases of its own, her hands started shivering a lot and then her feet too and some 4 or 5 years later, she started forgetting things but she never forgot taking medicines from me. Due to hallucinations , she imagined things and then often would say that I won't take medicine from mother but never opposed me or my brother when we offered. Sometimes when she won't eat, I fed her with my hands and I really loved doing so. As the celebrated genius, **William Shakespeare** tells us in his work, **The Seven Ages of Man** about the last stage of a person, very old, just like a child again, I always confirmed it when I fed her. She often would push away the spoon and make faces but after saying just one more or giving her some water, she finally did finish it. After food, I would ask her for whatever she needs and then would let her sleep covering her with blankets. I always enjoyed the process and it was just a little gesture from my side for all the dearest memories we shared. She was and will always be the dearest to me.
*****As per me, what should you guys never miss with these lovely godly people :*****
As the age advances, person starts feeling ignored if you don't respond to what they say and thus they get frustrated and they really can't do anything about it but feel abandoned. Never let it happen. Give them all the time you can and as much as you can.
Share your experiences with them, things which you come across in your daily lives. They really love it.
Massage their muscles(feet and arms) while making a conversation with them. My ***Daadi*** always blessed me like a million times when I did this.
Support her while they walk and try to take them on short walks with you.
I always slept by her side till I could and her hand on my face was the best blessing ever. You too can, maybe on some nights when they really need you.
Celebrate their moments which they used to when they were young and active.
Ask them for advices. Their hair are grey not with advancing age only but a hell lot of experience and they may guide you for the best possible.
Most of grandparents know nothing of or are not advanced enough to use advanced tech devices these days. You can be their favorite, helping them with it. Tell them how to operate or do it for them.
Love them like anything, make as much memories as you can as no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Take them to the places they want, take care of their diet and be a devotee. They are the best.
I can bet that the warmth, positivity, selflessness, unconditional love and care their soul offers is next to god's and they are like the angels which may bid farewell anytime. In their weaker days, be their support like they used to carry you when you couldn't walk. Don't let the generation gap spoil what you had. As we advance in age, our development takes places according to the stimulus from surrounding and often we loose what we had with our grandparents but don't let that happen. Promise them, with all your soul, the love and care you can. They are like the skies of families, the abode of the sun which always brings warmth in our lives.
Give your best try at being their guardians<3<3<3<3<3.
Take a break
What's up buddies? We are presently living in an era of technology, which itself has lots of pros and cons. In fact, there are many points which we can count as advantages and then I can point out a disadvantage originating from them only. What I am gonna talk about in my post is social media. Isn't it very beautiful to receive a text from a person who is your childhood friend and you left that place years ago when you were a kid only and you guys haven't talked since then. It's a sure thing, this text will bring a smile to your face and you will run either to your siblings or parents and after telling them, you guys will say : wow, technology is really awesome and of course it is...or...lets talk of another case, you just came across a person, now you instantly want to check out and there may be many possible reasons for the same like you are really attracted with the persona or maybe you mildly knew each other at some point of time and now, you are just curious about their lives, what they are up to, what they have achieved or maybe, you just wanna say hey and rebegin what you had.
What I just mentioned are some random points about applications of numerous social media platforms we come across these days and they are amazing in many ways, but as I mentioned earlier, these merits may have demerits built in. Just think of a scenario when you are having a good day and just then, a person from your past comes across you, you exchange sights and by the time you reach home, you have a message in your inbox: 'hey'. Isn't it very easy for people to reach you. Maybe it won't affect you a lot but somewhere in your mind, a seed of curiosity will start germinating and you may think about whether to reply or not for an entire hour which could be spent productively on your daily goals. Though, it will only be a thread of your mind where you will think about it, but, it will consume some of the energy and now you have a decision to make also.
Enough about a person's accessibility through these platforms. Moving to the main heading of this post, why you need to ***take a break***? Many of us surf instagram, facebook, reddit, youtube and many other platforms on a daily basis. I am sure that some of us are spending 3-4 hours in total on them. If we look at the time when we have our supper done and the time we sleep, for singles, it is of course surfing time because of cheap internet availability and flood of content over these platforms. In long run, we are developing a habit of giving our time to futile posts or which are very least related to us. We shift our sleeping schedules. Though, it's in our mind and we take a resolution everyday that today, I will sleep on time but these platforms somehow manage to demand all of our attention and we push ourselves past our resolution i.e. our focus remains fixated on surfing more, consuming more. Talking about results, we end up killing our chances to get up early in the morning, chances of dark circles, bad health, missing the golden morning time when there is purity in the atmosphere and a very right time to absorb the positivity. We ourselves end up pulling us miles behind successful people and success. Also, we feel lethargy the very next day and its our routine now.
So far, we covered impacts on health but now, I want to discuss about even worse thing. Somehow, we are consuming content which is not meant for us. I am not talking about sweet animals or kids doing fun activities over cameras but massacre, abuse, controversies, religious brawl, random guy telling us what is right and of course, even a layman having a right to put his/her comments about how government should function, how education system should be, how one religion is better than other and almost everything which they have no connection with, even in the parallel universe. This kills our inner self. We form an opinion. We think about consequences of impossible scenarios. We absorb negativity and in many cases we become one of the above people. I am not saying that we don't have any right to put anything on our own social media handle but we should belong to that field. Our soul should be devoted to the wellbeing of our community and are experienced about what we are posting. All of it affects our thinking process, out mental health, our point of view and ability to decide. We may spread rumors or convey false information.
Just a possible scenario that might happen with any of us . Imagine you are almost ready to sleep and you see a random post in which a dog is being beaten brutally and crying like anything, what is the state of your mind now if you love animals? Didn't you just consumed something that may affect your mind and may delay your sleep timings. Isn't it something you shouldn't have seen just before sleeping and now you can't do anything about it as it's an incident which took place months ago in some other country and you are just a boy about to get admitted in some college. Of course, some of us may make it their goal to do something for them but majority of us will just be able only to think about it and giving up precious energy to it and then after a day or two forgetting the same. You could do some useful work instead but its gone now and that time is never coming back. So, when negativity takes hold of you or you are not ready to accept all kind of content or you don't have loads of extra time to devote to surfing, ***take a break*** and do something productive. Pursue your passion, try to take steps towards goals or just take a sound sleep to rise with the sun next day.
Hope you find it helpful. Lots of love and best wishes for future from India<3.
To be an elder brother
Greetings to fellow readers and authors. Relationships are inevitable truth of life unless you have given up every worldly pleasure. There are many beautiful and varying roles to play for both men and women throughout their lives. All of them are fun and amazing but with in order of increasing amount of responsibilities as you age up. Since I am an elder brother, I am gonna share with you all, how it is to be one and my experiences with my younger brother and also about my perspective of playing this role nicely. Just so that you know, my younger brother is one year younger than I am.
Starting from childhood, when we were some 4 or 5 years of age, there was a sense of being elder but no responsibilities. He and I would play together and fight over silly possessions. I used to take advantage of being elder and would beat him if he didn't follow my commands as I always expected him to. We would play pet game together like he is my pet and I am his owner or gun fight with our ammunition made with fingers. There was always a brawl over who will sleep by mum's side or dad's side for whoever the fight would start. Sometimes, while leaving two of us alone, mum would put me in charge for the things and taking care of him, then, I would try to ensure his wellbeing and would do small chores assigned like serving breakfast to both of us and then placing the utensils in the sink, I would lock the main door and would go to check first, in case any stranger came, sometimes I would attack him for violating what mom said to do as I am in power for time being and then he would attack back then a little fight and I always ended up making up to him for hitting him first as he would get angry with me always.
When we grew up to the age of 10-12 years, I was probably in 5th standard and he was in third since I skipped one class back at school. In this age group I noticed a thing. When we visited my maternal grandmother's, I used to team up with my cousin against my brother and we used to tease him and he used to get angry of me. My mom often told me why do you did that and then I used to realize how wrong I was but since I was a child, I used to forget how bad I was to him and again I mostly used to team up with others against him. Talking about other aspects, I used to support him whenever I could. We both would do a lot of fun and he used to sit on my carrier when ever we went out for cycling. There is an incident from my childhood, I had a fear of dark and when I had to go to toilet he would come along and would wait outside. For this help I owed him and had to do something for him for the day to come though I would never do anything lol.
Things were same till I had to go to some other city for college. I started being extra good to him. I missed my family of course but more than anything my brother now would listen to me more than others in family. I used to guide him on call and I developed a tendency to give him as much as I can in every aspect. Whenever I used to go home in holidays, I would spend all money I was left with from my monthly allowance given by parents with him and also while going back, on station, I would give him a little amount of what I was given for the upcoming month. Once he fell ill with dengue and I really felt so bad and this emotion I really never had experienced before. I really wanted to help him somehow and I prayed for his wellbeing with all my heart. He recovered soon since he's athlete. Even now, he listens to me and I have adopted a things or two to maintain the harmony in relation and also the respect on both the ends. I am listing down these points below:
Whenever there is a fight, there is always an scope of sorting it out by stopping arguments and accepting. Even if you are wrong, the other person will learn this from you and eventually, your fights will get to an end with intellectual discussion about it rather than blame game or maybe fights will stop happening at all and I do this all the time with him. I stay quiet, absorb good vibes and who ever of us realizes his mistakes, comes and apologizes.
I always tell him my experiences and when I see him going a wrong way or wasting a lot of time, I lecture him and since he respects me, he willingly listens and tries to implement.
I listen to him making him feel important and he always has a lots of talks from his day at gym. Be it any conversation, giving others the time to speak and being a good listener is very important.
Whenever possible, I try to help him with chores or prioritize him over me in things of advantage.
When I want to make him feel like he isn't productive, I don't talk to him that nicely and show him that I am busy in my study and then he accompanies me also most of the times. You need not to be partner in crime only always, you should partner adventures as well as hard work.
I connect on call with him from hostel on regular basis. Those who are important should know that they are and phone calls from different places always sweeten bonds.
There can be a million advices and at the same time no advices as everyone have their own ways to be good but I want to make a point that blood relationships are the best and to relish their strength, you need to nurture them with all you heart and mind. When you put efforts in each and every domain of your life equally, it strengthens you towards a better tomorrow and family always is your overall strength backup. You can always count on them and your siblings being of your age group and closest to you understand you more than anyone. Being an elder, its your responsibility to water the seed of love and strength in relationships and soon you will be pacified like anything under the shade of the tree having limitless fruits of trust, support, confidence and what not.
To be engineers on call
Three bachelors of technology(BTech) to be graduates on call, currently in their final year worried about placements but more than anything exited to talk about their misery to each other and in most abusive way possible, telling their mess up over call to each other. Of course it is a conference call made by one of the friends and now they all are enthusiastic, tensed and free at the same time. This is us, me and my friends on call these days.
Tier three colleges are a fun place to study. After Joint Entrance Exams(JEE) in India, some of us go to prestigious IITs and NITs but remaining students, after carefully calculating everything, like, risk of placements, available lab facilities, expenditure over four years, travelling convenience etc etc, join various tier three colleges and then most of us, after three years of wastefulness, loads of memories, relationships and crazy bonds, always meet on such calls I am talking about here. In these three years these people have done the craziest things possible like almost killing friend on birthday beating him like hell, crazy road trips, being high at peak, icy cold heartbreaks, cozy warm love, found their forever partner, made friends with benefits maybe, got their homies for life, explored themselves every bit, found a new talent of themselves which they never new to have it in them and what not but study.
On call, one of us is over exited and energetic about talking a lot after killing up all the quora feed about possible options, the other one bagging some mediocre placement of 3-4 LPA(lakhs per annum) or so and talking about nothing but the silver lining in joining the company which offered him job and the third one either a very smart guy who is not placed yet or a person who has no interest in BTech but joined because it was in fashion, listening to both of them and trying to figure out something out of this chit chat. The fun part is...how can someone discuss their pain and unemployment in such a fun way, with loads of slangs and often the conversation takes turn towards two of them laughing over third one. Since its really unpredictable where each one of them will be after 4 or 5 years in future but during these calls they transcend limits of cluelessness. They may also discuss really funny plans of startups or their wild dreams which are not humanly possible to pursue but this warm phone call brings a big smile for the period when they are on line and for some moments after disconnection also.
Meanwhile, some smart heads are preparing for post graduation(Mtech or MBA) examination or even GRE. They may have their own ways of relieving stress which I am not acquainted with since I am in final year and clueless as fuck and also, placed for a mediocre package of 3.6LPA and also mildly preparing for better opportunities and not for PG.
Since it is corona, that's why these phone calls are in majority. Otherwise, we would have shared it face to face lol.
Its really fun to imagine how some of you might have done these calls and are reading this article, in that case, hello there pal, you are one of us. Good luck for your future.
A writer's dilemma
Hey there readers. This post is for those who are new ones on this platform and can write but are out of options to choose from. If I talk about me, I was really clueless about what to write and I also questioned my abilities as writer as I knew that I know how to write and I am good at it but I was like can I be called a writer if I am out of content the moment I join for what I have waited years to happen i.e. I found this perfect platform for me, where I will get paid for what I enjoy and also, I will interact with intellectual readers like you out there. But soon, I realized, what I can write and I am gonna share with you what I wrote so far.
My first post: "**Boost Your Professional Life**" was a starter and since I just joined the platform, gush of energy was there and I wrote something about right time and utilization. https://read.cash/@DM/boost-your-professional-life-ecc635bf
My second post:" **Growing in love!**" was a tribute to my loving nature and it was all about my perception of a productive relationship. https://read.cash/@DM/growing-in-love-450fab24
In my third post: "**A Bigger Family**", I appealed about being helpful for needy in these tough times of corona and it was more of an obvious thing which most of users already might be doing. https://read.cash/@DM/a-bigger-family-51d73407
Since I am crazy about dogs and know a lot about them too, therefore, I decided to write about my beloved species of dogs: "**German Shepherds <3**"...German Shepherd and in it, I shared my experiences of parenting with my dog harry who is also a German Shepherd. https://read.cash/@DM/german-shepherds-3-4ea62c9c
Then there was an another post of mine: "**LOL** " which was a funny interview experience I encountered and shared it with you guys within 10 minutes of when it happened. https://read.cash/@DM/lol-e80184ba
In recent times, I had been to a wedding and sitting there, I thought, everyone should know how it is done in my country India and hence decided to writer about it soon as I get back home : "**Weddings in India** ". https://read.cash/@DM/weddings-in-india-bcb41698
My most recent post idea occurred to me when I was scrolling this post only and reading some post, I had a trip back to my childhood. I started remembering how things were back then and how they are now and very soon, it occurred to me that it would be nice if I write to down to ask people how there childhood was: "**Being child vs Being adult**". https://read.cash/@DM/being-child-vs-being-adult-c9432f34
I just told you about what I wrote so far and my purpose in sharing the thought process behind how I got ideas was to tell you guys that its a sure thing you have it in you, its just that, you need to be observant about your day to day experiences. A good writer is one who can jot down even a small observation into a thousand words, each one of them, meaningful and magical. You can write content everyday if you are a keen observer about your daily activities, events where you go, chores you do, emotions you get struck with, people you talk with, topics you talk on, what are you good at, what is important and beneficial for people to know, which discussion is must do, inspiration from your personal life, relationships, family, past experiences and a million other things.
Whenever an idea occurs to you, just start thinking a point or two on it and write it down soon as you get a chance. Also, if you are pursuing some course or degree or if you are a working professional, you can also share your day to day experiences and tips for newbies. Just be a writer at soul and execute it with you mind, you will definitely rock. Good luck. Be observant be healthy.
Being child vs Being adult
Hope you guys doing great. This post is inspired by personal experiences, how some things in childhood were vs how I feel about them now, being a grown up. Your circumstances or thought process also might have been the very same as mine being a child. Also, all these things which I am writing are from my pov and I am an adult in early twenties who hasn't yet found success, so, these things are only in respect of this phase of time.
So, I used to hear too frequently that till you are in school, its the best part of your life but never believed so back then. And now I actually feel that it was so, though, in my case, I had a heartbreak, never mind, but that time was so mild in terms of pressure and liabilities. Now it really feels like how easy it was knowing very little about real world and getting up late everyday, getting there with bag, sitting in lectures and back to home. No real load till examinations. Also, during period of examinations, I could stare ceiling for hours and world outside felt like trees are extra green and air has something in it which it never had before and environment appeared to be at peak seduction to lure me out. These pictures still are in mind being adult, how everything has changed, college lectures, job pressure, resume, relationship, so much to manage and getting success really matters now knowing the real world.
It was so easy demanding something from parents. No tension regarding budget or anything, in worst case, I would just cry and expect them to get it as soon as they could. And within week, I would get the things which were affordable for us. But now, at this stage of life, demands are mostly as per needs and my position at present moment, how I am performing in my college studies, how inclined I am towards my career goals etc. Its not like I don't get needs fulfilled or gifts etc..I just want to highlight how things have changed over years.
How I used to play street football and on weekends, we would go to the ground where we couldn't on normal days as we had to go to school the other day and we would get home late for homework or chores. Gladly it was the only obstacle in playing back then. Now, I can't even think about going to ground on weekends or playing everyday, though I exercise but everything is goal oriented.
When any festival was to come, I would at least say or think about it 4-5 times a day like yeeeeah, this festival is gonna be soon and then I would rejoice with my brother and we would really express it physically by dancing or jumping here and there. Now, there is an internal joy, no pompous expression. My perspective about celebration has also changed a lot. In my childhood, I would burst a lot of crackers in diwali(Indian festival) but now, I love to stare at lights only, beautiful lights which glimmer all over houses in festival of light. I have also developed some understanding towards environmental pollution and thus, I altogether transformed my way of celebrating diwali.
When I was a kid, while having some teenager or elder person around, I would often think what are they so busy with. I also have a memory of a wedding to support this point. When I was in 7th or 8th standard, some 12 or 13 years of age, I had been to a wedding. There were a cousin of mine around who was some 20 years old. He was around us most of the times but he would rarely reply of what I ask to him and would often find places to take a call or check his phone. I was like why isn't our talks important to adults. But now I have a million answers for my own query from back then. Now, even I see some kids sometimes around whom I behave the same way..lol...Dejavu with roles reversed.
Dressing sense didn't mean at all. Almost all the times, my mom would decide my wardrobe and sometimes, I would argue with her to wear something else only from her finalized clothes. Now, I myself decide my wardrobe and most of the times, occasion decides what the attire for the day should be.
I often used to watch on television or read somewhere about mental peace, depression, places to get an escape from you routine life....etc....but its only after I grew, I found out, what these things mean. Being a kid, I was like, what these things even are? What could be the possible reason for one going through these or in need of such places, but now I know.
As we grow, our definition of world, people living in it, their lives, our life, our perspective towards things, relationships, complications everything changes. Relativity is there, we grow, things around us grow. Our childhood fades away and only dearest or impactful memories stay with us. Also, whatsoever your background be, you always will have your sweetest memory as your childhood because you were provided the best possible by your family. When you grow up, it surely is in your own hands where you wanna go and what you wanna become, you are free to fulfil your goal in life with varying amount of struggle from one individual to other but I would suggest to never let that child within you die because the clarity and simplicity of thoughts and piousness in soul, which was there in that child will help you a lot in you future endeavors.
Hope you enjoyed and be healthy in these hard times guys.
Weddings in India
Hello there buddies. Purpose of this post is just to give you guys an overview of marriage ceremonies in India, zeal associated with them, scale of celebration, preparations associated, generally piquant and mind blowing Indian food and also, how different it is to marry in India than any other country in world.
Starting straightaway, in any culture or part of the world, weddings are pious means to celebrate the bonding of two hearts. It gives, lovely relationships, a legal status in society and in Indian culture, it really is a very big and holy celebration with two hearts promising each other, every bit of themselves.
*****Wedding celebration in my country is a package of many awesome ceremonies:-*****
**Engagement Ceremony:** This is common ceremony in many cultures and not Indian only. In this, families formally announce the wedding of couple and to be bride and groom share rings. After engagement, wedding may be anytime maybe sooner or later. It depends on families only but generally, it takes place within half year afterwards.
**Mehendi Ceremony:** If you haven't heard it before then this is really a fun thing to know. In this ceremony, Mehendi(Henna) is applied on bride's hand and feet. Also, all the other females in the house do so too. Mehendi songs or traditional songs are played, generally they are native to the region where ceremony is taking place.
**Sangeet Ceremony:** Word **Sangeet** means music**.** Continuing this zealous prolonged celebration, sangeet ceremony adds more fun to it. It is all about dance and music. Both the sides prepare dance performances and on the sangeet evening, they perform them in front of the family members and relatives. Themes and costumes are decided for dance performances, choreographers are also hired. These things also depend upon your budget and background.
**Haldi Ceremony:** In Hindi language, turmeric is called **Haldi.** This spice has a very important role in this ceremony and thus the name haldi ceremony. In this ceremony, family and close relatives apply haldi on the bride and groom's body at their separate venue. Haldi cleanses and purifies the skin and when it is rinsed off, it removes dead cells and gives glow to skin. Also, it is said that it protects bride and groom by shooing off evil spirits. Haldi is placed in small bowls and holy green grass(grass which is grown in a clean place and its part above the root) is used to apply the haldi paste on bodies. Traditional songs are played while the ceremony goes on and bride-groom receive blessings and wishes from elders and youngers.
**Vivah Sanskar:** This day is most special of entire wedding period. After this night, bride and groom belong to each other forever. A wedding hall is booked or in many cases, huge tents are fixed in open ground and arrangements are done within in. A separate stage is there where Rajgaddis or big decorated sofas are placed where bride(dulah) and groom(dulhan) sit together, a place for dance and music is there along with a big hall where tasty, delicious food is placed over decorated tables. Many dishes are made at the spot only and people wait in queue to relish their taste buds.
Groom comes with **Baarat(**his relatives and friends) on horse or vehicle dancing and celebrating all the way and then, at the wedding place, bride's side does ribbon ceremony, in which, after performing prayers(aarti), ribbon is being cut by groom. On the entry only, bride's side steals groom's shoes and then they ask for shagun(money as a sweet gesture) in return for those shoes. After groom's entry, bride is ushered to the stage and they both sit over there. Then, all the relatives congratulate them and beautiful pictures and videos are taken with relatives and of bride and groom. After photo session, Jaimala(ceremony of exchanging garlands) takes place and it is worth watching as funny facial expressions and notorious activities of both the sides bring smiles to all the faces present. Meanwhile all the guests feast upon the delicacies arranged by the bride's family. After, guests leave(mostly at 11 pm) couple and families eat together. Then, on the following day, at about 4O'clock in the morning, oath of togetherness is taken by the fire. A pandit is presend at the venue and they chant the marriage mantras. Gods of marriage as in Hindu cultured are praised and then bride and groom tie each other in knot and take sath phere(circle the holy fire seven times) which binds them together for sath janmas. After this, they solely belong to each other and the groom makes promises to bride during this ceremony which he has to follow throughout his life. Holy fire binds both the souls in pious bond.
**Vidaai:** It is when the bride goes to her new home with groom and emotional gush in forms of tears is evident on the faces of groom's side. She says goodbye to her dear parents and all the other relatives. Warm hugs are exchanged and finally she leaves for her new adobe.
In our Indian culture, wedding go for a really prolonged period and for wedding, dates are finalized(called shubh muharats) when different ceremonies are to take place. There are some months when weddings don't take place at all. They are not considered good and these dates are in accordance with stars and kundlis of bride and groom. Also, marriage of couple can only take place if their kundlis match and there are whole lot of rules for them to match which are taken care of while fixing marriage by trusted and knowledgeable pandits of both the parties. After wedding, bride visits her parents occasionally but her new home is that of her hubby's.
*****Delicacies served in Indian Weddings:*****
India is famous for its spies and mixed flavors. In this wedding period also, food is cooked and served according to the region and religion but mostly its spicy and made in lots of ghee, oil and it's undoubtedly piquant and lovely.
Loads of sweet are prepared on both the sides for distribution in relatives as well as to serve the guests who stay during these joyous days. On the ceremony nights, there is a whole lot of dishes to choose from. Some of them are: varieties of paneer(shahi, kadai etc), variety of chicken(depends on beliefs and culture), fast food(including desi Indian dishes like tikkis, golgappe, dosa etc as well as more than enough other enough cuisines), soups, paneer tikkas, spring rolls, cutlet, juices etc are served as starters and you will really get a wide variety of chapatis, veggies and curries to choose from on ceremony eves.
A variety of sweet dishes are also there including halwa, icecream, jalebi, rabri, sweets, cakes etc.
Make sure to eat the right quantity of food if you are going to attend the wedding for first time in India as heavy food may or mayn't comply with your stomach.
Both sides buy lots of clothes and gifts to exchange as well as for their own use and in my country, budget of wedding can go as much as you are ready to spend. In really big weddings, you may come across a wedding tent in a stretch of kilometers serving all the delicacies you will find in best of the hotels across the world and also, arrangements for dance and music like those of big shot edms and celebrities. If you are visiting India and you are life enough to get to one of those, you will experience a really electrifying experience and I am sure you will be mesmerized and amazed at an another level.
In my country, a wedding is like a full hustle bustle electrifying party and people gather together to celebrate the harmonious bonding of two souls.

Cherish Every Moment
Hello guys, hope you are doing good. Through this article, I just want to tell you, when you are living best moments of your life, say, wrapped in arms of your lover sitting by a scene, working passionately and achieving goals, travelling your dream places, enjoying with your family, buying desired clothes, hanging out with your tribe, celebrating life events or even smallest of things like eating tasty food, sitting around tea table with your family, sleeping on a cozy bed, wearing neat clothes washed by your mom......and a million other things, guys, try to live and celebrate these moments to your fullest. By celebration, I don't mean external celebration, but internal gratification. Try to absorb the energy, vibes and harmony of environment around you because of this moment of yours. These will help you in later times for sure, maybe when nostalgia hits you or you feel alone or stuck, they will strengthen your belief in this ever changing wheel of time and fate.
In present times when lifestyle is all about becoming better than yesterday and challenging yourself with goals yet to be achieved, you may want to have a little trip to those times when you had a very relaxed state of mind, when you woke up and had no pressure but joy, the moment you got up. Those moments will make you feel nostalgic in some cases but its all about what perspective of your happy times you allowed to qualify as your memories i.e. how you preserved them.
They will be fuel to your growth when you think about that internal gratification fact which I told you earlier. That feeling will make your environment fresh with the essence of past, a past when everything was sorted and you had to do a new start after a break. Also, memories will tell you who was the closest, who and what matters the most, when you need a break again, what were your priorities and they will become your spiritual guide. I will mention here on a very nostalgic note, I have my own sweet experiences with my dearest which are very close to my heart and today, when we haven't met for months , we cherish our memories and often we talk about how lucky we are having lived those times. It really helps us cope through these times and work on ourselves and our growth to get those times back.
***How to preserve our memories?***
You can always write a diary, either a physical one or digital.
Photographs and videos of crazy times.
Your possessions you got back then. They may be anything ranging from currency of a place you travelled to an expensive, fond gift to yourself(clothes, watch......).
Using digital resources like phone to mark the time and places where you have been on calendar or other apps.
Live healthy, grow everyday and make your memories your strength. Thanks for reading.
German Shepherds <3
Hey there buddies. This post is from a German Shepherd lover and I can write like a million things about them. If you're interested in my pet's name, it's Harry and he's a five and a half year old smarty. Just so you now, he is there in the lead image. Fascinated by my pet's awesomeness and generally, sheer smartness and sturdiness of this breed, I am gonna share with you my experiences in parenting so far and also, what GSDs(German Shepherd Dogs) like the most and also a few tips regarding their upbringing.
I got him when he was just 3 months old. He was big enough in comparison of dogs we generally see in this age group but it took him seven days to open up in his new family. It was when a passerby stopped at my gate that he barked for the first time and of course it was his first cry for me. After meeting him, I had to train him on a lot of things and rules to live in a family but thanks to this breed's amazing intelligence, it was a piece of cake. First thing which was very annoying was his peeing and pooping anywhere inside the house, then choosing his eating bowl, knowing his food preferences(they may differ from dog to dog and family practices), agreeing upon his walking schedule, fixing his permanent territory in the house and many other things.
First things first and this is not for GSDs but any dog, if you wanna tame one, be ready to be a responsible parent as it's seriously gonna be a hard task if you aren't passionate enough or are immature. You have to take care of puppy like a baby and of course, you will be treated as parent only. This is my personal experience, as in my family, if my dog needs something or someone scolds him or he wanna play or anything, he always comes by side and mostly, he lies by my side. Though they can't speak our language but they convey everything very amazingly, it's just, you need to be right amount of responsible and connected to communicate perfectly with them.
As harry grew up, he learnt habits like he started warning when he needed to excrete, he appears outside kitchen on his food timings, loves sleeping on floor instead of cushions or mats(loves cold environment), a fan of non-vegetarian food and he found his own spots to sit inside house. He goes out three times a day and is super excited whenever its time. You need to select a deep and wide bowl for your GSD as they have teeth which are suitable for meat only and while feeding them other edibles, they need a big bowl as they spill food unsuitable for their teeth and also, deep bowl will help them have food comfortably as per their mouth length.
Play with them daily whenever you are with them and make your dog learn fetch, mine really enjoys it but he is only semi trained for it. After some throws, he never returns stick back. I feed my dog with non-vegetarian food and since I am from India, my general cuisine includes rice and I feed him with rice and curry also(vegetarian diet). He doesn't like oily foods, occasionally eats fruits(orange mostly) and I treat him with chocolates sometimes as he loves them. It's been a really sweet and lovely time so far and everyday, we get connected a bit more than past day. I adopt total **ahimsa**(non-violence) while training him, I mean I scold him on mistakes but never hit him and you should too.
*****Some GSD stuff:-*****
They have a really thick tail and they really know how to wag it to show their excitement. Sometimes, my dog unknowingly beats door so badly with tail, it feels like drum beats.
They love making sounds. Shrill voices when they need something or need attention and being guard dogs they won't disappoint you, dragging you fiercely on streets towards other dogs and barking like anything but it depends on their training.
Super cute head tilt whenever they find something confusing or are curious about.
Their ears are their identity and they use them pretty amazingly to add to their charm and also, they rotate them as per the noise feedback from surroundings.
If you let them join you on your couch or bed, they will really do insane activities till they feel bored or distracted.
They love playing. They are very energetic dogs and they really can play whole day if you are ready. This behavior goes on onset of later years of their life(after half their age mostly).
I really can write a million things but I don't wanna flood your minds with small details and obvious things.
*****Their favorites:-*****
They love being rubbed near ears. Avoid poking in their ears as they are very sensitive and your dog really gets angry if you go in their harshly.
They love belly rubs.
As for their energetic nature, they love being engaged in activities.
If there are any open areas around you and your dog is not a hazard for others(unlike mine), sure thing, take them there and let them be themselves. You will be overwhelmed with their enthusiasm and energy.
Every dog loves treats. Treat them with their favorite food and take care of their health, don't spoil them.
Long walks are also lovely to keep them fit and if your GSD is young, if will be preferred for sure.
*****Some tips:-*****
They feel comfortable in cold temperature but they feel uncomfortable once it goes above above normal room temperature and after 30 degrees it becomes really hard for them to keep their tongue inside their mouth. So, do arrangements as per your budget like cold water in summers, some may like ice and airy spaces for them.
Take care of their coat. Their shiny coat easily catches a lots of dust so you may dry brush it or make them take a bath.
Vaccination must be done on regular intervals for the sake of dog as well as others.
There are tablets for intestinal worms which can be given once in three months after consultation with doctor.
Don't put them in compact spaces, if they grow up to their size, it becomes really hard for them.
You can always take care of your dog following best strategy for you as per your financial condition as well as time availability.
Just a advice, don't tame them if you are not ready for it. You are only making their life bad if you can't spend a part of your time on them.
At the end, lots of love for you guys and dogs of course. If you guys wanna ask anything about GSDs or general dog parenting, you can comment and we can discuss based on our experiences.
LOL
Hello readers. I am gonna share a very funny interview experience which happened right now. So, I had this interview scheduled for today. The timing was 2-7 pm but due to some connectivity issues, it got rescheduled to 5pm. So, I waited sitting on haunches. Finally, at about 6'o clock, my turn came. I connected with the interviewer on cisco webex (video calling app).
He asked me to introduce myself and I did the same. Soon as, he asked me second question, there was an unstoppable loud boom of sky shots in my background and very soon after it, music started playing. And guess what, a pre marriage party has already started in my neighborhood.
My expressions were worth noticing as I could see myself on front cam and also, it felt like interviewer took those sky shots booms too seriously. He repeatedly asked me, is there some background issue.
It seems like I have to give my interview later, after he is done with all other candidates. These times of corona are really teaching us striving through new ways of living life.
Hope you enjoyed reading, do like and comment.
