Little insights of me.
March 22, 2022
TUESDAY
These were the questions answered by "kingofreview" in Q and A format but I am writing it in a single go.
The link to his article https://read.cash/@kingofreview/never-have-i-ever-school-edition-1-de026205
The format is basically in the form of **''Never have I ever'' but I have made in a point form directly.**
**I have skipped classes,** well not just classes but games period, morning physical exercise class, evening classes. Basically, all the activities which was a part of a routine in the school. Sometimes, I attended just a couple of classes and skip the rest of the class. Well, it really never mattered not then not now.
**I definitely have cheated in the exam** I even exchanged a copy of my batchmates secretly and wrote all the answers of him, once even I was caught and the teacher ceased my answer sheet and I was very calm on the situation because I knew he just ceased it and will give me in last 5 minutes of the exam. I was delighted I already completed my answers in that answer sheet and I was writing on my answer sheet no. B. I also passed a piece of paper of answers written by me to a batchmate while a teacher saw me. But I didn't lose my calm and he didn't say a word. I even showed my answer copy to as many batchmates it was possible.
Of course, **I know the signature of my dad and mom, and brothers too**. But, I never used it because I never needed their signature to that extreme.
**I never bullied anyone at school.**
**I never have been suspended from school.** Even at the time when there was a mass suspension of my batchmates (almost 70 percent of the batchmates were suspended) and still we took the blame on all of us so that either the whole batch or none would be suspended. But, the authority took the evidence from the CCTV camera, and only those who were involved were suspended.
Of course, **I have been in the bottom three of the class in class 7th** to be exact I begged the second last rank in the first test of my class 7th and since then in each and every exam no one needed to check the result who get the first rank in the class.
**Hit someone with chalk**. Well well well it kinda was our class sport. And we did a lot.
**Never gave excuses for being late for the clas**s. I wanted to give an excuse but I cannot lie and every time I was caught in anything I boldly say yes I did this or that. I am late because I am late all other things would be excuses.
**Never been homeschooled** but I defintely am doing open learning for my undergraduation program. And next year I will be graduated.
**Never had I crush on someone in class**. I was in military school no girl was there. Only the principal put her daughter in our class when we were in class 10th but she was not in my section unless class 12th and I never gave a damn about her.
**I have played in a sports team** and I was the vice-captain of my basketball team in class 12th. And we won the gold medal.'
Thank you and thank you all for your kind support.
I will do the further questions next time.
My thoughts on the Psychology of Money
March 21, 2022
Monday
Usually, I do not like Monday but today I didn't have any thought about it. Maybe I was just a little busy that the thought didn't cross me.
Anyway, Good evening ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls today I am just going to share my thoughts on a book I completed a day ago.
The book **"The Psychology of Money"** is normally a finance-related book written by **Morgan Housel** and he tries to acknowledge how money works for us and we can learn various things that can help us invest, or multiply money wisely. But, if you try to go deep into some contexts you'll also find some life hacks too.
What I learned from the book is that Money is not created in a day, it takes time, decades of wise investment, and only the people with the virtue of patience can make and handle it well. Well, this line can be taken for any relationship to work too, it takes decades of investment to finally yield the result we want out of it.
It also talks that no one is there who doesn't make mistakes with their money or with their investment. But with time they learn how to handle it more substantially. All our investments which have gone wrong or all our financial decisions we took adopted previously we did on some research and emotions and for that time it was right maybe. But, the market does not work on any single news or circumstances. So, you can never control if your investment has gone wrong or if your investment in the market failed to yield.
It talked about hedge fund managers how diversifying their portfolio and only less than 10 percent of their portfolio yielded the enormous profit they enjoy. And when we see their interview or when they make it to the Forbes list we only see that his particular investment made him so rich but what the media do not show us is that the maximum of their investment yielded just normal. And as human psychology, it kept us thinking that if we would have identified a particular stock we would have become rich.
I came about an interesting fact from the book that Warren Buffet's most of the wealth came when he crossed 60 years of his living on this earth. It can be seen how his decades of investment made him so wealthy when he was about to be a septagarian.
Some people fail to learn how to keep wealth, they make wealth but their greed of pursuing more or their immature behavior of showing lavishness leads them to bankruptcy. It also mentioned that what we call a good investment is not made by a good decision but it is made by consistently not screwing up.
Earlier I used to think of investing if investing in only stocks but it is one example of being living in the optimistic world failing to realise the rationale of pessimism. No one knows when the market is going to crash. No one has depicted the Wall Street crash of 2008 except a legend that brought millions of people into poverty. And I realised how important it is to manage our portfolio among stocks and bonds. So that when one fails the other prevails.
Some people want to save but cannot and they blabber that their spending is too much. But if you think open-mindedly you will find our ability to save is in our control more than we think we have.
It also tries to enlighten us that we need to plan and think of our own financial decisions rather than relying on someone else because they probably are harvesting a different crop than you.
At last, I would suggest this is a must-read book even to those who think they are smart taking financial decisions because there is always room for error and some knowledge from somewhere might be your messenger. Try this book.
I would like to express my gratitude for all of your support.
Thank you.
He found himself at... (II)
Sunday
March 20, 2022
In the previous version, you read how this boy (demigod) was and how far he can go to get things he wants. In this version let's see what makes him think about changing himself. https://read.cash/@Trofi01/he-found-himself-at-12e28a29
**Like I said one thing he most valued was the "TIME".**
After a certain time, the situations make him secluded further and therefore he took a vacation from everything, and every time he had vacations he always brewed something much more intense. He was brewing it again but, this time there was something else the world was conspiring against him. The world puts an angel in his path and he doesn't want to indulge in any emotional things so he wanted to play along with the angel just normally. The demigod hasn't realised what he was doing will lead him into a trap and he keeps on pacing with the angel. The angel's dealio pleased him and he fall for it. He was getting soft and softer gradually.
He started seeing everything very lightly, starts putting an end to his devilish demeanor, and slowly a smile was building a home on his face. He drank his pride and ego only to think sometimes, it's better to feel and let believe the other people are powerful and can do whatever they want. But, no one realises that when you start living in a masquerade and start thinking of yourself as so powerful and becomes comfortable you just stopped seeing where's the storm is going to come.
He was enjoying this vacation and was having sweet memories of it. He never has wanted people around him but this angel makes him think that he wants her around him and therefore he proposed if the girl is willing to be around him and she showed her willingness by being affirmative about it. Sometimes, he was unable to control the evil inside and there was a turn where he sharply forgets that he was feeling good about all of this and his evil was overpowering again. But the angel made him believe that the surrounding is beautiful.
The demigod realises this vacation is passing by faster and he wanted to let it pass. He also wanted this vacation to end and be there again. He never trusted anyone but was starting to trust the angel too much because of the sweetness she emits.
But he knew that whatever he is doing is just a smokescreen nothing of this is real. He knew he cannot trust anyone but still he was willing to trust her. The things he was feeling for the angel were overweighted by the things the demigod brew in his mind with all those devilish things his mind can offer and gives birth which it cannot. He was traveling ahead of her in every direction of the path to see the outcome and he was seeing that she is just an illusion for him and the same outcome on all those paths and directions. But, he thinks he can win this over with the kindness and sweetness the angel brewed in him.
But this conspiracy was spun by all the creatures out there against him. He keeps on fighting them with kindness and sweetness. But in the end when the angel just crossed him and went with those creatures and laughed at him. He was overwhelmed to see this miraculous scene of the angel betraying all this time and he defying all the negative results he was getting while he traveled future. While everyone was thinking he is powerless and cannot do anything he switched his switch, his eyes there it was visible again the devil inside the demigod rose. The scary monstrous eye has taken aback all of them. He felt betrayed about his time and right now there was nothing in his mind, not the girl or the creatures but the time of him which was destroyed by the angel.
They were silent for a bit but seeing no further action by the demigod they kept on laughing but the angel knew he is not silent because he is silent. She knew he is definitely with something in his mind. She was afraid but she went beyond her thoughts thinking that the monster cannot do anything with so many creatures on her side she demeaned the demigod by her words, and actions.
He was silently observing everything. He marked everyone and makes himself invisible.
No one saw him since then, not the angel, not the creatures. But no one knew that he is still sitting out there and just brewing something no one ever imagined.
Thank you.
I am sorry if you didn't like the story but every story is not made to please everyone and every story does not have a happy ending. Some story has an open ending...

He found himself at...
March 19, 2022
Saturday
Once, there lived a boy living in a secluded world. The palace without people in it, not the subservient nor the gardener. The world of his own where he owns the kingdom, He rules it and he used to do what he likes to do and in less than a blink of an eye, he can transform himself from a ruthless evil to the kindest Dolphin. He had the power to burn anything down to the ashes and can go deep into the gehenna to get what he wanted. But, at the same he was merciful, being helpful to everyone who approaches him. He can read people's minds but he can never read people between their lines.
Betrayal was not in his dictionary, neither did he like it when a person betrays, and neither does he entertains it. He can catch the web of lies even when it is in their nascent stage but he bears a smile on his face and keeps on going through all those webs just to see how far someone can go in their web of lies. He was a demigod but also a hodgepodge of evil. He punishes people for their betrayal to the extent where one's soul can shiver to hell where that person starts begging to take their life but he was not so kind to them to easily let go. He succumbs them till their penultimate seconds but frees them. He sucks their blood only to free them barely to survive and when the person starts thinking that he is free and he cannot be approached ever. This demigod reveals his wretchedness to shiver the soul hell out of them.
He loves his pride, his amiguity, his authenticity. He was kind to the people who comes to him and confess that they did the wrong things and they are regretful for it even if their actions involved harming him. He had a way to shower his love and care for the people around him only not to reveal that he is actually caring. He never liked being cared or being loved and he keeps himself an unding mile away from these things. He was not afraid of anything. He was so proud of his goals, his ambition, and he never get divert himselef from it. If he finds someone coming in his way to his goals he immediately cease them.
He loves to spent time in his garden endowed with thorns and venomous flowers and smile at them though it cannot be visible on his appearance. No one saw him smiling in real even those who were near to him had seen him smiling.
**Do you think he don't smile at all?**
**Do you think something prevents him from smiling?**
**Do you think he's afraid of smiling?**
**Why he never smiles?**
**How cannot someone smile?**
These were the questions people discuss with him but they never knew he smiles whenever he smiles it is only an indication of something evil he is brewing up or something he is thinking evilly. People never get to know about him, what he does, where he lives, and if someone thinks they knew him it was only the things he himself told to them and which barely covers fractions of a percent about him.
**There was one thing which he loves the most. Which he always keeps faith in it. But sometimes question it too when he gets impatient.**
He knew how he is and he cannot transform himself and totally torment the evil side of him. But, as time passed something happened that made him feel something and he thought that he can torment his evil side.
Now, readers can you guess what happened to him that he decided to torment his evil side?
Before I leave to think about it, I would like to express my gratitude to all the people for their support. And, ma'am @Theblackdoll I thank you for renewing sponsorship.
**Thank you and keep smiling.** **FOR THE WORLD NEVER FAILING TO SURPRISE YOU.**
The First Party.
March 17, 2022
Thursday
Good evening dear people, today I am just here with a personal experience which you can guess from the Headline itself. And it **happened in 2013** when I was in grade 7 and I was 10 years old.
It was the summer of 2013 the month of May and we were having **Inter-House Volleyball Tournament** as per guidelines, it was conducted in games time which is around 1600 hours in the evening actually this is the time at which Juniors were supposed to be in the volleyball court area. While the game starts at 1630 hours. But before that according to the **School Decorum,** we were supposed to give the report of cadets who are present on the ground, who are sick, who are on leave, and who is absent.
And it was our duty to be present with the towels, **Glucon-d (like glucose powder which gives instant energy)**, and water bottles in our hands for the players and continuously cheering up for our respective house. Failing to comply that ready for the extra drill at night.
It was the finale of the tournament about which I am talking and we were so excited and continuously cheering up. Our house team was in the final and so was our corresponding senior house in the final. The officers were present, teachers were there, the groundsmen, the referee, the cadets all were there. With the display of shining trophies and medals which were lustrous with the falling light of sun on them. With the proper good luck wished to players by the Principal sir by shaking their hands firmly.
The players were in their position and it was the seniors' match played first and I am happy to write that our corresponding senior house won the match though it was a really admiring match. Then comes the juniors match and I am much more delighted to announce that our house won the match too. The medals were distributed. And, as a junior, we always expect our seniors to call off the evening classes on such a special day. And our School cadet sports captain after talking to the officers announced on the mike **"PREP IS CALLED OFF, BE THERE IN MESS AT RIGHT IN RIGHT DRESS".**
This was also the last week in the school because after that we were going on our summer vacations. So, on Saturday, after dinner, the eleventh class senior came to our junior house at around 2200 hours and said to reach the senior house as soon as possible. We were frightened that today we will be gone for the whole night being punished by the seniors. And we ran to the senior in a column of 3*X and it was 800 meters away from the junior house. We reached there and we were surprised to see that woowww! It's party night today. It didn't take us much time to guess that this party is because we won the match.
We were there the DJ was being played and drinks were served and other hot items with it. I was feeling on cloud nine to feel the music and seeing everyone dancing.
I took the drink and the item kept there to eat and after glass, I was dancing, we danced with everyone at first we thought we can't dance with others except our batchmate but our seniors announced in the mike especially for us because we don't know what to do in the party. He announced that **"JUNIORS DANCE WITH WHOEVER YOU WANT AND ITS A PARTY SO MAKE IT LIKE A PARTY"** we were already excited at least me I was full-on mood and I keep on dancing with different seniors and keep on going near the counter to eat more and drink more and again and again I drank a lot and danced too much till the music was being played and which I remember it was being till 0400 hours and then seniors said be there on the athletic ground for the morning exercise at the right time.
We were not expecting this oh my gosh it's 4 in the morning at the morning exercise starts at 0540 hours but anyway it was senior's order.
I was not tired but my legs got cramps with continuous dancing. But when we reached the athletic ground after the procedure our senior took the charge and he make us run a single round of 400-meter track after that, he said to us to lie on the ground and be relaxed. We did the same. This was the happiest morning exercise that ever happened to us.
Of course, as a junior, we always like it when we were given some leniency.
Before going I would like to say thank you to all of you who stay with me in this journey of writing.
Thank you.
Good night.
Writing prompt- what would you rather be
March 15, 2022
Tuesday
I was thinking of writing on something else but then I thought since many people are writing about the questions would you rather be..? I thought let's give it a try.
So, here we go-
Get spanked or slapped?
NONE. I have been slapped by my family and my seniors and I think I have my fair share. And I won't accept any of the choice given above. If someone would try to spank or slap me then they are going to have their share.
About being spanked, I really didn't know that spanking is legitimate out of romantic relationship haha.
Eat too spicy food or too salty food?
Neither. But it can depend on situation.
Be in love or someone in love with you?
I do not want love and I don't care if someone is in love with me. It's their choice for them to approach if they are in love with me and it would be my duty to politely tell them I do not want to be loved.
Hate someone or someone hate you?
Definitely, I like being hated by others. It really brings a smile to my face and inside my soul. I feel like I'm enjoying the moment when I am being hated.
Have a job you hate but make good money or a job you love and make not good enough money?
I would like to have a job I hate but make good money. Once, I am plentiful with the money I will resign the job to do something I love.
Be the caregiver or be taken care of?
These questions are really very exotic to me and honestly I don't care being cared by someone. But I am not any thing specified above.
Live alone or be surrounded by crowd of people?
It doesn't really matter. I can adapt to any circumstances.
Swim with shark or alligator?
Well, I will not swim with anyone rather I want to swim just like a free man.
And I want to add one more question to it.
Live with Lion/Tiger or Dog?
I would loveeee to live with Lion and tiger.
Be too hot or be too cold?
I don't understand this question but I like the too cold habitation. I want the temperature around me to be around -20 degrees or less.
Be too hungry or be too thirsty?
I want to be too thirsty. I like the taste of water. And sometimes I just keep on drinking water like 2 litre in just one go because I like the taste of the water. Although water is a tasteless compound.
Be dominant or be submissive?
The answer could differ accordingly. The truth is real value of dominance is understood only after being in a disciplined layout. The leaders are not born dominant but they reach to the height of dominancy.
Thank you.
Good night.
Thanks @BCH_LOVER for showing the continuous kindness.
Have a relaxing sunday.
Loosing 16kg in less than a month
March 12, 2022
Saturday
While I initiate this writing I wrote the date year as 2002 and instead of Saturday, I was writing it as Monday.
Anyway, I am just going to write a personal experience of mine which you can guess from the headline.
But, at first, I would like to flex my sponsors and express my gratitude to this community that I have got here.
While I am writing this column I am hearing a song and it's quite exhilarating and I am enjoying it. You can also listen to it while reading this column.
https://youtu.be/IzCpyiabtME
I listen to this song when I run out of options while running.
Many of you may think that it's not possible to lose 16 kg in less than a month, well I can't do anything if you don't want to believe. What I can do is to tell you a real experience.
So things started like this- when I was in class 11th I stopped doing exercises and running and focussed myself more on eating foods. And soon, I was gaining weight and I noticed it when a batchmate of mine said "Hey! XYZ.. you are gaining weight see your arms, it is getting wider, and I said yes you are right" But still, at that time I didn't do anything I was still focussed on eating and gaining weight.
We went on a tour in the last week of September in the **"NILGIRI HILLS"** and there we had a lot of fun and clicked photos but when we come back and I saw my photos I found that I have grown quite much actually I need to control my weight. And I checked my **BMI** it just touched the **"overweight"** category and at the same time our exams were approaching so I was focussed on my exams first. But I decided that after exams when I come back to school I will start doing exercise.
In April 2018, I was finally in class 12th and still unwilling to do exercise because now, it was the time to relax according to the mindset of class 12th. But, then we had summer vacation for 42 days starting May 12 and we were staying in the school with due permission from the school authority. And preparing for the competitive exam we were going to write in 3 months from May.
It was the intense heat of summer. But now I think I was woken up from my sleep of ignorance of weight and I decided to finally lose weight from next morning I used to go out for running around 0530 hours and on the first day, I only did 2.4km and came back but then at the same time I get motivated to come in top 3 in our cross-country race which generally holds in the last week of October or first week of November. So, I planned to increase my stamina at first so I increased my distance.
From the next day I was running 4.8 km normally for the next 2-3 days and for the next 3-4 days I increased distance to 6-7km and slowly gradually increased it to 8.5 km - 9.6 km and after further 4-5 days I increased the distance to more than 10 km daily.
And initially, I did not focus on the pace I just had this thought in the back of my mind that I only have to increase stamina first.
By the way, I must not put you in the dark so I will tell you that in the evening I also used to play football or basketball for 2 hours and used to sweat a lot there.
And, I also want to mention that in all this time I never planned to restrict my diet instead I tried to eat more and more and burn them. And after around 24-25 days I found my weight decreased from 69 kg initially to 53 kg and again I just touched the **"Underweight"** category. But, I didn't stop myself here from running or playing rather I kept it constant and just reduced the distance of running distance.
While running in these 25 days I performed my best on the last day when I wanted to check my distance and pace together and I ran 13.2 km in 56 minutes I was amazed because I never had performed this better before.
And, I was so confident about the cross-country but unfortunately, it was not conducted in that year.
And honestly, in my farewell where our juniors were interacting with us I remember there was this junior who was very good in running he said- "sir, this year we had not any cross- country and I was hoping to get a rank" to which my room partner laughed and he said dream yourself to get the first rank because it is only going to be brought by "XYZ" and he indicated me.
They said sir, what are you saying, to which my room partner said dude this guy ran a lot and lot much better. And he outperforms every other runner right now.
I was smiling to their conversation and I interrupted someone what all are you talking about. Leave it to discuss something funny.
Before ending I would also like to say that I used to run for 60-90 minutes without stopping for a second.
Thank you that was my journey.
Unity in diversity
March 10, 2022
Thursday
Since we were kids we keep writing an essay about unity in diversity. No doubt we are already so diverse but what about unity? We also are united in many aspects but at times our differences dominate and pave the way to conflicts. I live in India and India deals with great ecological diversity. From cultural dances, religions, tribes, arts, dishes, languages, and topography we are so diverse. In India, you can experience a temperature of -45 degrees Celsius to 48 degrees. There are different states and these states have their own arts and cultures and dishes and various tribes and dialects and languages.
And not only India we can see diversity in almost every country. At times we keep on talking about **"UNITY IN DIVERSITY"** which definitely signifies that there are some aspects where we lack to show our unity as a diverse country and culture. The religious conflicts, the war, the discrimination etcetera witness our difference at times. Earlier it was inexplicable but with our advances, we understood that these diversities are something not to be biased rather embrace and grow together with our hands joined.

Some elements in society do not want to co-operate and try to propagandise their own ideologies. And people are easily manipulated sometimes and these create conflicts. But, various laws are there that punish those who try to incite people.
Nowadays, there are various types of arts and crafts fare organised at different intervals in different parts of the country and people are amused and get excited to know the culture and art and crafts and other things from various places that are exhibited in the fares. From my personal experience, I must say the parades which are conducted in republic day have different tableaus from different states are the most thrilling to witness how broad our culture is.
In India, we have so many languages and dialects ( more than 1500) that even if you visit the district in your neighbour you will witness different dialects.
To be honest, I wanted to write so many things covering this topic in a broader sense but again and again, in my mind, there is a visual of this girl who gave a speech on this topic and was continuously smiling while delivering the speech and was only looking at me in a room of 20 people seated in a semi-circular fashion. And at the end of her speech when we were asked if we can comment something on her. Nobody said a word but then I said to her that she was confident, gave a good speech but she needs to look audience covering everyone, not just one person.
The teacher said yeah that's a good point.
And I don't know what she felt but she passed a smile and took her seat.
Thank you and sorry for not covering the topic as per expectations.
Exam that makes us laugh
March 09, 2022
Wednesday
It was in class seventh when we were issued guidelines regarding an exam culturally related and it was mainly focused on a language **"SANSKRIT" and the exam name goes by "Sanskrit pushp exam".** Sanskrit is one of the oldest language being spoken today and perhaps the oldest language.
Before I tell you more I just remember one more funny story when I was in class 6th it was the first time I was introduced to Sanskrit and in the mid-semester exam of it I scored just 53 percent marks in this subject **(53/100)** and also it was the lowest mark I ever faced in my life and my father scolded me in front of everyone. I confronted my teacher about some of the answers where I can have scored but didn't at which she told me- **"your answer is wrong"** and I was so polite and kind to elders, teachers that I don't mouth-fight with them. And in my mind, I was like you all teachers never taught us this subject and don't justify your own faults.
In the final exam of class 6th, I scored **98 percent** marks **in Sanskrit (98/100)** and it was already one of my favorite subjects at then.
Let's come to the original story of class 7th but before that let's flex users of read.cash the upvoters, sponsors, readers, likers, and all others for their kind support to me.
So, I was at first not so interested in this competition because it didn't seem of any importance to me but we were issued a booklet to prepare for the exam too. And a senior told me the top 3 performers get the prizes too. And therefore I prepared for it.
I mugged up the whole book and finally, it was the exam day and my 2 other batchmates said that they haven't prepared anything for the exam and wanted to sit near me so that they can be helped by me. And we sat together in the last and I found that I was able to do 80 percent of the questions and both my batchmates sitting beside me copied all my answers and they said to me what to do for remaining questions I said let's check them with wild guesses *(Yes, the exam was not subjective it was objective only)* we did the remaining questions by ourself and after a couple of months when the result was announced we found that I ended up getting the second rank with the excellent remark while those batchmates sitting beside me ended up getting first rank and the third rank.
We were laughing when we heard the result. We got the medal and the certificate for it.
As I said, Sanskrit has become one of my favorite subjects already I was able to score always more than 95 percent in it every exam and test till class 8th and after that, I no longer studied Sanskrit.
I ended up completing the Sanskrit exam in the least time possible.
I ended up maintaining a good average in Sanskrit.
I ended up enjoying Sanskrit.
I never had thought that the boy who scored 53 percent in this subject would end up performing miraculously. I just had one thought in my mind that this subject will ruin my scorecard.
By the way, some of the other languages have their roots in Sanskrit and the "RUSSIAN" language is one of them.
Thank you.
Good night
Importance of Games and sports
March 08, 2022
Tuesday
At first, we need to know the definition which segregates sports from games.
A SPORT IS DISPLAYED BY AN INDIVIDUAL WHILE,
GAMES ARE PLAYED BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE (something like a team for example football).
In most of the low-income income countries or middle-income countries, society is very reluctant towards sports and games. They have the mindset that it only wastes the person's time *(for them it is mainly inclined towards their kids)* because they mostly are middle or poor class families and they think that sports and games will only rob the future of their children and will persist their next generation in the same lifestyle that they are having now. So, even if their kids are so enthusiastic about sports and games their parents preach to them to study hard and become successful. But some parents also support their children if it is their dream to pursue a career in games or sports.
I am saying it because I have experienced it too. My parents also used to preach to me to study whenever I used to ask them for permission to play. And as a result, I barely played anything until I reached a marvelous school. And even when I reached there my parents said one thing to me-*"Son, don't waste your time in games and sports and end up fracturing your hands and legs".* And for quite some time I was being subservient but seeing my batchmates I start realising I am not growing and developing like them. And therefore, I started playing games and sports and eventually ended up playing the tournament of every game in my school in my senior years.
The importance of games and sports cannot be ignored in our life. It may seem just a mere sport or game to many but the values, and personalities it imbibes in an individual might not be imbibed to them by their teachers or parents. This is the activity where individuals are not asked to learn qualities but it gets inculcated in them by their senses. It imbibes a person the sportsmanship quality, the teamwork, the coordination, cooperation, to handle stress and pressure, the leadership quality, the organising skills, sense of unity and what-not.

Now, in this digital era, people do tend to be on the screen that they forget to keep a check on their health and end up being obese, having eye problems, and various other health problems. A mere hour of physical activity which can include games, sports, or workouts can improve the lifestyle of people hugely and that is the power and importance of these games, sports, and physical activity.
The students who end up studying prolonged hours just to establish a spot for themselves in this high competitional era sometimes lose the motivation to step on the ground for some playtime. But, they forget that sports and games help refresh and lighten their mood and improve their concentration which eventually helps them perform better in their studies. I also fall prey to it I do not use to allow into thinking myself to get out and step feet on the ground but I realised that the less I restrict myself to play the less focused I am towards study in other words I had to spend a lot more time studying to retain the same lessons.
Last but not least I would only like to say that the importance of physical activities, games, or sports cannot be ignored for something else. I want to write more but I am falling asleep.
Thank you.
Happ women's day to all the women here, I wish you all a smiling and a loving day. Just relax ladies. Let the man do all the things for you today. <333
Let's know more about me.
March 05, 2022
Saturday
It's already quite I wanted to sleep but then I thought of writing about this prompt Getting to know me more by answering questions . It's boring for many of us and honestly for me too but I still am writing and you don't need to read it. Just skip. https://read.cash/@BCH_LOVER/getting-to-know-me-more-by-answering-these-questions-55cf20a6
Have you ever had a nickname? What is it? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#have-you-ever-had-a-nickname-what-is-it
I have a lot of nicknames and I am just telling many of it, and it goes as-
**Nappy**, *(let's not reveal the secret here)* haha
**Smiling Heart**, *(Because I used to be so smiling when I was a kid in school and this name was given to me by the wife of the principal of our school and then the principal and his wife invited e to have lunch with them)*
**Smiley** *(with my surname, given by my father in answer to the wife of principal and principal*), haha
**Apple** (leave it)
**Heppul** (*rhyming to something*)
**Nep-pull** ( *by my brothers to tease me*)
**Robot** *(given by my batchmates when I was in military school and they still call me with this name, the reason behind it is I never had any emotions for anything nor do I have now. I do not care if a senior punishes me to keep on doing 500 push-ups or so and so I just keep on going and going, I do not care if my seniors were conducting horror nights for me when I was in class 7th I just was determined to do the task given to me at the middle of the night around 2 am and when the people who were in costume to scare me I just literally said to them Let me do my work which I am now focussed and don't disturb me, and anything which my batchmates or any person express the emotion I was like what so different about it that you all are thinking about it so deep.*)
**Chitti** *(Just modified from the robot because there was a movie in Bollywood titled as a robot and the name of the robot was "chitti")*
**Mad** *( because I am crazy with my friends too)*
What are your hobbies? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#what-are-your-hobbies
It's very broad my hobby is running, reading books, learning new things, trying to find a solution for everything, drawing, organising things, paintings, calligraphy.
What is your biggest fear? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#what-is-your-biggest-fear
I am not feared of anything, I am not afraid to lose people, I am not afraid to fail, I am not afraid to die, and I just not am afraid of anything. *( I mentioned these examples because most of us are afraid of these things)*
I remember an incident when someone was asking this thing to each other some years ago, but nobody asked me this and I was trying to think myself what is the thing that I am afraid of but I realised there's just nothing.
What is your favorite childhood memory? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#what-is-your-favorite-childhood-memory
That could be a discussion but I don't really remember my childhood and the moments which I remember is quite difficult to choose the favorite of all but I would mention one here.
*The moment when I hit a big muscular guy, who was a narcissistic person, a bully, an overconfident guy, the guy who thinks he is the supreme, he was very tall and wide he as in class 12th at that time and I was in class 3rd. He used to annoy me and my elder brothers and my brothers were quite soft they used to say let's just ignore him and focus on ourselves but I was the hot-tempered guy but, I always obey my elder brothers. But, one afternoon I wanted to fill the jug with water from the handpump but he arrived there and he started to say that first he will drink the water and I was like ok and I just stepped back but he was not drinking water he was just holding the handle of the handpump and I lost my temper. I made a fist put in the jug and with all my adrenaline rush I hit him directly on his head and said to him now, keep on drinking water as much as you want.*
Do you collect anything? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#do-you-collect-anything
No, not at all. I want to collect many things and especially want to create my own crafted items but I do not involve in any of the activities related to these things because my parents always quote *"just keep on doing these stupid things, haven't you got anything to study, or you want to pull off the weed" from the fields when you'd be grown up.*
What was your first job? https://read.cash/@Ling01/whats-more-about-myself-94f752a3#what-was-your-first-job
I am a student. And do not have any job.
The one thing which I read from Ling's article was that she was involved in some Red Cross thing and she was basically to the most beautiful thing. She was helping people in one way or the other. That is just marvelous. Yeah Ling you are a leader write it in your diary).

Children and school post Lockdown.
March 04, 2022
Friday
I don't know how but I feel like this week passed quite fast, it was like 3 days before when we had our weekends and now here it is again. Anyway, I just had my supper and it was prepared by myself for the whole family.
As you have seen in my previous few articles I have covered some changes brought by the COVID19 one was about Work from Home prospect and the other was about Post lockdown and in today's column I am going to write the ways covid affect our children and what they need post lockdown. https://read.cash/@Trofi01/work-from-home-prospects-fcbd5dc7 https://read.cash/@Trofi01/post-lockdown-and-covid-19-fb0122a5
But before I jump into the topic I would like to flex people who sponsor me and also express my gratitude to my readers, subscribers, upvoters, one who likes, and all the people on read.cash
Now it seems to us that everything is way like pre covid but the havoc it bred cannot be undone easily. The emotional breakdown people went through or frustrations, anxieties, trauma etcetera will take quite a time to recover from. The children (kindest and most emotional beings) are the ones affected in a way that will require delicacy to make them able to express themselves.
Various things that go around them and had to encounter at such a young age affected the mental state of most of them and as a result, many of them receded themselves to open up even to the family. Some children are very uncomfortable expressing their emotions to their parents or anyone or we can say that they are not much lucid about the emotions they are feeling. The point is not just the child it can be seen in adults too, many of them are inarticulate about their emotions.
Children when going through ebbs and flows of emotions or go through some negative emotions can be found receding themselves from their present state of mind, they are emotionally present in the surroundings but emotionally absent from it. Even if they want to reveal their emotions they are not able to confront them directly and just wishes if someone asks them about the things they feel and be there with them. Initially, it may be hard to know from the children about their emotions but with the right people and with the right conversation, they eventually express themselves. And when it comes to children we cannot risk them going the lane to anxiety or mental trauma, it can affect their growth or made them feel insecure about themselves.
Schools are the place where children learn and grow a lot, where they find their strengths or weaknesses, where they made friends, where they are around the people of their age group and that makes them feel or desire to open themselves and enjoy the freedom. And the teachers whom the children are around for 6-7 hours can notice their behaviours much more than their parents in some cases, definitely, it was needed considering some childrens' behaviour pre lockdown but the things they went through these two and half years bring many children into the spotlight to consider their behaviour, to connect them emotionally and make them feel like they are not just the students of the teacher but also a friend whom they can share a beautiful bond.
Post lockdown when the school has reopened it is the duty of the teachers to connect and co-operate emotionally with the students, rather than jumping onto the textbooks they need to ensure they are emotionally present in the class and also emotionally sound to themselves. They must let the students express their thoughts about the lockdown and their emotions. They should try to conduct some funny quizzes and activities where these children can participate and enjoy and connect themselves.
We also know that there are kids who do not want to express their thoughts in front of their class or in front of everyone and for that the teachers can prepare a questionnaire that resembles an activity and where the questions related to emotions or things that they can connect the students with and through which they can find the emotions of these children about how they felt, and what they feel right now.
In the end, I would like to congratulate myself for achieving the milestone of 1000views and I thank you all for helping me achieve this milestone.
Thank you and good night.

Thursday's rule.
March 03, 2022
Thursday
Actually, I was going to write about something else but something happened today and thereby I thought that let's publish today about it, the rule I broke today.
I belong to a religious family though I worship rarely. What's the need to disturb the God/Goddess every now and then they are already listening to many devotees. And with one less worship, they have to be thoughtful for one less person. OK jokes aside, I am not here to condemn any religious beliefs, or gods and goddesses.
So, My mother basically keeps a fast on Thursdays which means she doesn't usually eat food to express her beliefs in the god she has faith in. She worships many gods and goddesses but she keeps fast for only one and he is **"LORD VISHNU".**
Her days go like this on Thursdays- get up, freshen up, take bath, pray in which she recites the story of Lord Vishnu followed by a prayer line of him, then after she has her tea which is made by me.
According to the rituals, the things that the devotee of Lord Vishnu and their family has **to AVOID ON THURSDAYS** are as-
NO USE OF SOAPS FOR BATHING YOURSELF/ CLOTHES
NO USE OF MUSTARD OIL
NO HAIRCUT
NO NAIL-CUTTING
NO IRONING OF CLOTHES
NO USE OF ONION, GARLIC
NO MEATS AND RELATIVE ITEMS
NO PORRIDGE
Maybe I forget something but I think I covered up pretty well what we have to avoid doing as a family of a devotee of Lord Vishnu.
So, what happened is today my brother was going to the national capital "DELHI" and he has not any clothes which were ironed in advance so he says to me "XYZ, can you iron my clothes" and I said yeah sure I also have some of the shirts to iron. And at this time I did not remember that it was Thursday and firstly I ironed his clothes and then started mine. At which point my mother said ***"KEEP ON IRONING CLOTHES ON THURSDAY"*** and I retorted ***"Mother, sorry I forget that I am not supposed to iron clothes on Thursdays now what"*** and she said *doesn't matter it was already emergency for your brother.* Then I keep on ironing the rest of the clothes of mine.
****My Opinions:****
I do not have a belief in any of the things mentioned above but I comply with all the things that I am supposed to avoid on Thursday not because her faith will be affected because of me and won't be fruitful, instead becomes terrible. But, I follow all of it only because it is a guideline issued by my parents and if complying with them makes your parents happy then what is so hard in following the above rules. And the plus point is you also don't have any difficulty in following them.
But, in case of emergency, it's not a big deal to break the rule, of course, emergency situations are always of higher importance in human life.
Thank you.
Have a good night's sleep.
**Original content**
Good afternoon everyone, I hope everyone's doing good and whoever is going through rough patches, smile in the hope that at the end of the day you will be able to smile for real.
I won't be able to be active today here much, as I have a lot of work.
Thank you, just smile and spend the day. Even if you are angry smile still.
Making "POHA"
March 02, 2022
Wednesday
For the first time I am going to make something for you ahahh just a line, how can I parcel it to you?
So, "POHA" is a dish made for snacks or breakfast, at my home it's as snacks and when I was in school It was breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Raw Poha basically looks like flattened rice.
A year ago I called a friend of mine and he said today he made Poha and it was so delicious and retorting him I said how do you make that and he told just buy it, wash it, soak it, put sugar, and have it with tea. I said alright I will make it too. On the call, I never asked him for the detailed recipe but I just was confident that I can make it easily without any guidance. And one day I went to shop to buy the raw poha and I cooked it. Everyone was flabbergasted eating it and since then I have to make it every time my family wishes to eat it.
**How to make it?-**
**Ingredients: for 4 person**
*3 bowls of raw Poha (in a quantity you want to eat, but trust me to take more because you won't stop eating it less) haha*
*Sugar 8 teaspoon*
*Onion 2 medium size*
*Mustard seeds*
*Mustard oil/olive oil/ ( any cooking oil you use)*
*A handful of Peanut*
*A spoon of Cumin*
*Curry leaves 8-12*
*Half piece of lemon*
*Tomato 1 or 2*
*Green Chilli 4-5*
*Corriande****r***
*Turmeric powder 1/2 spoonful*
**Process:-**
Wash the Poha in 2-3 water, squeeze it to remove all the water from it.
Add sugar to it and put it aside.
Fry peanut separately and take it out on a plate.
Chop the onion into small pieces or into longer pieces (I prefer longer pieces), Chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces, and cut coriander. And similarly the green chilies.
Put 5-6 spoons of oil in the pan, once it heats add cumin and mustard seeds to it.
Once the seeds are flamed, put the onion and chili into it and fry for about 5 minutes at low flame
Add tomatoes into them and fry them on the same flame.
Put Turmeric powder and mix them properly.
After they are fried enough put raw poha in them.
Now keep on mixing it so that the fried tomatoes, onions get mixed well with it. and keep on mixing till the white raw poha turns yellowish.
After that add lemon to it.
Add the fried peanut.
Add coriander.
Add curry leaves.
Keep it on a low flame and keep on stirring so that it won't get over-flamed.
**Turn off the Gas haha that's it**
Wait wait wait won't you serve it into plates? Huhh? That's so very rude of you.
**SORRY, I DID NOT PUT CORRIANDER AND CURRY LEAVES BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME.**
Serve it on your plates. Have a tasty and delicious breakfast/snacks. Of course, eat it with tea or milk.
Bring a smile on everyone's face serving them something very different.
**Thank you.**
It was the first cooking article, I don't know if I presented it as you expected but I tried. Sorry, If you don't like it, but I am pretty confident you'll like the delicious "POHA" maybe you can add sauce to it if you want.
Photo is clicked by me.
You can all add fennel seeds to it. I like to put but my brothers don't want it so I do not add it.
The third month report
March 01, 2022
Tuesday
It's my personal experience that I think this year is passing at a pace whoa!! And, I really want to let these couples of years fly like Falcon.
One of the most joyful times for me in this platform is the end of the month, seeing user's monthly overview, their earnings and the feedback they share about being here is one thing that makes me so delightful especially the earning section in those articles because I get cheered up in the hope of making that much like them gradually.
I am happy to announce, I am now a user of a quarter year.
These 3 months went good that's what I will say because of the various scenarios and truths I find out. This platform is already making me learn various things be it motivational talks, advice, life lesson, mythology, manifestation, personal experiences, acquaintance with the culture of various countries, and many other beautiful things. People's untiring support and love that they shower upon me I am very grateful for all of your presence.
At the start of February in my very first article, I mentioned that I aim to achieve the target of writing at least 20 articles, and the motivation for it comes only from you all because when I saw that people can write 30 articles a month I was astounded with their dedication. And in my previous 2 months, I published 16 +16 articles for December and January. So, I decided to aim a little higher than this and I am happy to say that I actually published 22 articles of the total this month itself which surpasses a milestone of publishing over 50 articles on read.cash https://read.cash/@Trofi01/the-first-month-ed9b300c
In that month **I also hoped for earning at least $65 dollars** trying to be quite an optimist **but I end up earning a sum of $40 Dollars only. And I am happy for this much because if not for read.cash I wouldn't have been having this much even.** Slowly and gradually I will be earning a bit more I guess.
When I published my report last month I had 60 subscribers and now I am at 73 thanks to you all who continue to support me and who joined me.

**The target for March:**
To publish about 22 interesting articles which can enthuse readers, and to grasp the beautiful messages, and advice showered here, to read stories which actually is very relaxing. This month I aim to earn $50 dollars at least. I also hope to hit the milestone of 1000 views.
My targets and earnings may seem small to many of you but I am satisfied with what I have. But the things I learn from here is something more worthy and to be more grateful of.
Thank you.
I wish you all a peaceful night.

My sweet Village
February 28, 2022
Monday
**I felt a little nostalgic while I keep on writing further**.
I guess everyone loves their village, People who live in metropolitan cities miss their villages and longs to visit them to have their peace of mind, to enjoy the lush green environment. I too was born in a village and spent a good amount of time there. I used to go to our fields in the evening with the elder member of the family who visits the fields for inspection or so and so. And I would mention here that our fields were scattered in different parts of the village not at just one place and there was one big field which even was located in another village. In the summer I used to sleep outside the house with a mosquito net and I could clearly gaze at the sky and spot planes in the sky. While slowly falling asleep hearing those sounds of Jackals always thinking when would they visit my area hahah.
And getting up very early in the morning because of the cool breezes with the sound of birds, parrots, and peacocks. And every time I get up I found it was my grandmother who was filling water from the tap and giving it to our buffaloes and I always wondered how I never woke up ahead of her. And it was my daily goal to get up before her and the days when I achieve them I used to feel so delighted that ultimately starts my day with a plethora of positive energy.
Picture source
In my village a large double canal flows just 700 meters from my home and I always liked to go there but the elders don't allow me to go there alone and when I give argument ***"then already let me go with an elder member of the family"*** *a*nd they say yes just to shut me up. I always knew that this is just them agreeing but never coming up to their words. So, I used to help one of my uncles to do various chores and help him to feed buffaloes and other chores if he wanted me to do just so that in the evening I can convince him to go with me and they used to agree but the same result rarely shows up to their words.
And, my village isn't connected with any metalled roads not yet it's just the brick road and this is one of the features I like about my village so that it gives the actual essence of the village. And there is just one shop in the whole village just a small one which keeps some daily use items and if you get disappointed with your essentials from that store then you've to go to the small town about 7 km away to get your desired items.
I was very much loved in my whole village all the people of my village loved me and whenever I used to visit my fields the houses which comes in the way the ladies and elder male used to tease me so that they can play with me. The ladies used to pick me up from the way and starts saying that now I won't let you go, you'll live with me from now on. And when I hear those sentences I immediately look to my uncle if they will rescue me but I always find that they keep on walking to the fields leaving me behind. And, I started tricking those ladies into **"please let me go! you can have me while returning"** but they were a step ahead of me they used to say if you want to go to fields I will take you there always. You don't have to worry let go of your uncle or anyone.
They used to bring water and tea or some food for me but in my mind, there was this thought taught from my parents **"Never accepts items from any stranger"** so I do not use to eat them but they started saying eat because you can't leave this chair now as it has glue and it already caught you. So, I start eating things unwillingly to check if I die or not ahaah. And when I see that I am not dead then I keep on having snacks. They sometimes used to take me in their rooms and then lot many ladies keep on coming to tease me and I was all shying to see many ladies I used to say **"Now, I have complied with everything you've said now, please let me go."** But, they were stubborn in their words that you are all ours now. No one will take you away neither I will let you go. They used to kiss me and my only constant replies to them was **"Please don't wet my cheeks"** and they used to laugh at it.
Picture source
Anyway, the thing which make them love me,(by all members of the village) was that to every people who I used to encounter on my way and all elders who used to come to my home I used to greet them by touching their feet m in a manner of seeking their blessings. And this made me so famous in the whole village and they even used to come to my home and used to boast about me in my home to my family that your grandkid/son/nephew is very generous.
At last but not least I would like to say that those memories were so beautiful and the love which I used to get from them and the way they played with me was one of the beautiful memories.
It's been a while about 6-7 years since I last visited my village and more than a decade when I met other people in my village but I remembered when I last visited 6-7 years ago and I was told to bring an item from another family and when I went there they directly asked me **"are you that smallest child "XYZ"'' and I was very glad to hear that they still remember me. And they said wait have a tea and then go and despite refusing that "I'm in hurry" They treated me with tea and all. And they say you've grown a lot.**
Thank you.
Fun time question time.
February 27, 2022
Sunday
I saw some of us try to answer some questions from some sites where they get random situations or questions, and I also thought why don't I give a try to it so I visited this site to have the questions I hope you enjoy reading my answers but I am a boring person you must know hahah. https://mycreativetype.com/
**When traveling you always need a...? Destination or direction?**
It depends for me according to my mood, if I am in hurry then definitely I would like to have a clear cut path to reach the destination and when I am not in hurry to reach the destination then direction doesn't matter I even think that I would go through various wrong routes only to realise that anyway it was fun traveling direction doesn't matter when we get to see the landscape, and other beauties constantly.
**I tend to see the life through system, or stories...?**
Well, in this website I am allowed to choose only one option but I'd prefer to see the life both through the system and through stories. We learn many things and continuously strive forward through system but at the same time stories help you get through real experiences of people and yourself. And also I am of the opinion that system needs changes according to the results and experiences. Like a stagnant water is not potable so is the stagnant system.
**Are you a ruler or scribble haha?**
Well, of course ruler. I don't even know what scribble is haha
**Dip your toes or dive in head first?**
I don't know what the question actually wants to ask but as a swimmer of course I prefer to dive rather than dipping my toes.
**My door is wide open or usually closed?**
I started feeling bad seeing this question, I don't know why because earlier I used to keep my doors closed and I was always productive behind that door. But, now I keep my door closed but I am not productive as I used to be. This question makes me think I am ruining myself. I am on a path of self-destruction.
**Updates are ready to install do it now or later?**
I don't care I don't have phone so I do not answer that and for my laptop earlier I used to update it whenever it required but now I do not update it no matter what hahaha
**My first question is always How or Why?**
Of course, it is always How because I want to know the things from beginning and find the cause from the grass-root level.
**Secret weapon curiosity or weapon?**
Well, the visible weapon of mine is of course curiosity and the secret one which no one knows is ...Let it be a secret:))
**I'd rather talk to myself or someone I just met?**
Actually, I really talk to myself always in bathroom, while studying, while walking, while even running. Sometimes I speak clearly when no one's around while other times I just keep on talking to myself in my head.
**Everything is connected true or false?**
Of course, true.
**Are you a fortune cookie or a birthday cake?**
I do not know what a fortune cookie is but I do not eat chocolates, cookies, or birthday cakes anything. At least by myself but if someone needs company I am willing to give.
**My creativity is more method or madness?**
More method. I try to find the solutions methodically rather than thinking madly or going haphazardly.
Thank you.
It was just for fun, so pardon if you do not like it.

Thoughts on War.
February 26, 2022
Saturday
We must have been quite disturbed by what happened with Ukraine recently. Everyone must be worried, anxious, broken, and have been going through many emotions. Before further going ahead I want to express my condolence to the people of Ukraine who lost their lives with the onset of this hostility and my wishes to provide strength to our friends Ma'am @Belozoriana and Ma'am @Vika09 who are here from Ukraine.
Any war has always brought destruction in the history of mankind people die, people lose their loved ones, and the soldiers quite often suffer from **PTSD (POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER)**. And especially when I think the snipers having kill count of a century and over then I always think that how they must have been going through when they are retired or living in peaceful areas.
I Learned about PTSD from a movie and since then it has my special attention. When I was very young and while reading history about wars and others I used to fantasy how amazing it must be to fight using tanks, guns, or swords and capturing territory but as I gained little maturity I learned about its consequences.
I read the newspaper and closely follow the news around the globe too and recently there was a conventional war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 and the war came to an end with Russia's mediation. And, when I read further about it I was amazed to read that Russia was supposed to help Armenia to fight against Azerbaijan because of a treaty called **"CSTO".** But seeing Russia establishing peace there I was having thought that it is not preferred for a country to engage in wars in times when the country has advanced with its warfare equipment and some of them have nukes.
**WHAT IS CSTO?**
**CSTO** is an abbreviated form for **Collective Security Treaty Organisation** and its member countries are Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan according to the treaty if any country attacks any of the members of CSTO then the member country of CSTO is supposed to help them.

I was thinking that now the 21st-century world is united to fight against Terrorism, and other malpractices only. But, at the same time, I was having thoughts that these terror group organisation is already having some weapons which are quite good, and when I throw some light on the educational background of some people from these organisation I was astounded to find out that some of them are highly educated in branches of chemical engineering or others and also from some good institutions. And I feed myself with a thought that they are only starving for power-control and these people are no fool and will do their best to acquire or manufacture some of their own disastrous weapons.
It's very sad to encounter that countries that are supposed to establish fraternity and help and grow together and create a beautiful world for our generation are fighting firmly with each other undermining the collateral damages in the form of people, infrastructure, and other things too not to forget the mental state the children go through who've encountered these hostilities. When you watch or imagine the situation of children in Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries where these terror group organisation is actively engaged. I wonder when it is the most crucial ages for these children to learn and grow are actually hearing about the thuds created by bombs.
**The regular recent mass abduction of small kids in some parts of Africa, and the other global problem like climate change, empowering women, discrimination against others, social evils, and other problems are some of the things which require our attention. Rather than creating havoc by some country on others.**

Work from Home prospects
February 25, 2022
Friday
**Is work from home effective? Should it be continued or it should be abandoned?**
In my previous article, I expressed the changes **COVID 19** brought in our life from companies, schools, and other sectors, in this article, I am going to talk about COVID 19 which brings a "Work from Home" Culture and what can be expected out of it as a further prospect.
When the world was quivering with the outbreak of COVID, the developed countries easily switched to work from home culture and guides their working employee to deliver their works from home's snug. It is very likely possible that this new culture may not be new for them unless it is completely guided out. But if we throw lights on middle and low-income countries watching and adapting this work from home culture was quite new, instant, and explicable.
Like I said previously every coin has two sides so has this new culture.
Definitely in the outset employees must be overwhelmed with joy that they can work from, no need to go office at the same time every day, traveling by the same bus, sipping that same boring coffee of the machine, sitting on the same desk with piles of files asking for your attention and sitting in the same cafeteria in the lunchtime.
Now, people were enjoying the flexibility varying from their clothes to kitchen comfort. They no longer need to wear the same formals and can work on their couch, dining table, or their bed. But it was no longer when it was being enjoyed by many of them. They started getting tired of sitting in the home all day and night, cannot move to any social places, or attend any birthday party of their friends, colleagues and it took a toll on their mental state when their children become little stubborn and keep on poking them for every little of their demand, **it was quite a dilemma to control their children's behaviour of prolonged hours of screen time and** **who knows what they are actually surfing on that screen and are they not in some kind of bad influence from the internet.?** In contrast, they were having a plethora of time to be friends with their children and their family.
I have been talking about the wee-past and present situation of this culture and it will be very unwise of me not to talk about the future prospects of this new culture, with the lockdown being lifted up and opening of the economy on a full-scale this new culture may be abandoned for some time. But abandoning this culture will be one of the naive decisions.
I am of the opinion that this culture should be continued of course not on a full scale but flexibly. When our beautiful earth is advancing in the research of HIV and cancer it is also struggling with climate change and pollution. Let's not forget that many working employees travel to their workplace in their private vehicles, If the work from home culture is continued in its partial state then people would not have to drive every day to their office in their private vehicles and it will help them in reducing their **carbon footprint** and at the same time the city will be gifted with less traffic on usual hours. They may be able to attend their kid's **parent-teacher meeting** and are likely to attend their kid's various sports, games and other co-curricular participation without worrying about taking a leave from their work.
**Now you may think that even if they are working from home they still have to work on their screen rather than attending their kid's activities. But,** in this culture, one positive aspect is that you can convince your colleagues to switch their working hours with yours for example day and night shifts or other flexible hours. This not only helps reduce your carbon footprint or traffic problem but when your kids see your presence in their functions they not will be happy to see you there but their self-confidence and their self-esteem will heighten up. And of course, this may seem very small things to attend your 12-year-old child's football match but these participations matters a lot for your kids. This is their growing stage and with your efforts at par with them, they will be growing to their maximum potential.
As we can see that usually corporates job like 9-5 job are like people leave their home at 8 in the morning and come back at 8 in the evening and is hardly left with their personal time, Another beautiful thing which can be seen out of this culture is the employees will have their personal time more than they already had *(Saturday and Sunday and half of which was spent usually in sleeping, resting or completing their office work)* and when they are having their personal time they would see themselves involved in their hobbies, interests, passion and other activities to hang out with like physical workout and their skills will be enhanced they can be more participating member of the society which ultimately will boost the skill of the country and willingness of the people to create a much healthier environment to build and thus **all these factors will definitely help to enhance the economies** **happiness index, or the air quality index and providing a better environment for our kids to grow up with.**
I would appreciate it if you engage in the comment section about other positive aspects we can have with this culture.
I am grateful for all the people who support me with their presence in this beautiful journey of mine.
**Thank you. Have a learning day**.
Post lockdown and covid-19
February 24, 2022
Thursday
A terrific time started since there was an outbreak which we all know and it changed everything from micro to macro level and covered much broader horizons which no one could have thought of. People lost their livelihood, people died, people forget to smile, people lost their near-dear ones, schools, colleges, factories shut down with a complete or partial lockdown of a whole economy. And after two years yet here we are still fighting strains of this virus and this period was able to bring a change in the lifestyle of beings.
Before I further proceed I want to reveal my sponsor block-
*Like each coin has two faces hence each situation has two outcomes the positive and negative sides. I am not trying to back here a pandemic like covid but still, I want to convey my opinions about it. We all are aware that it brought us more harm than any good.*
With the covid outbreak, the middle-income countries and lower-income countries get to know where the flaws lie in their medical facilities like the lack of oxygen cylinder facility or the lack of beds in hospitals but the government still tried to curb down all these flaws in much less time which could never have been possible in normal situations. When the country was suffering from a lack of oxygen cylinder the government with its approach was able to get help from the countries which could've helped each other. And the government tried to convert various buildings and lash them with beds and in case the emergency gets worse the other buildings were already marked to be converted into bed hospitals.
And these flaws of our medical facility are hopefully being introduced in the budget session of the economies. Because of the covid economies were able to rule out if the medical infrastructure in their own country is capable enough.
The schools were shut down immediately and for a long time, of course, we can't risk the lives of our children and they are also the ones blessed to further the progress of our economies. There is no doubt that these two years were robbed away from our kids where they get to find themselves, identify their strengths and weaknesses, where they were to experience various things, where they encounter their first kiss, where they missed joining their dream colleges, where the youth who was about to graduate from the colleges missed the opportunity to grab the job and this scenario crippled a mental state of children.
Various countries were not in any state to provide education to these children as they lacked the infrastructure to provide education digitally but still, the government was able to impart education to our children digitally, and in middle and low-income countries where the nation shows a terrible digital gap between riches and poor and it was another problem how the students will be imparted education when they don't have access to any cell-phones, laptops, tabs, etc. and the government came up with the solution of broadcasting the education on its national tv channels.
Our thinkers, editorials, experts, etc. was able to opine the digital gap in the country not just in riches and poor but also between adult males and females and similarly boys and girls. The problem of network coverage and providing high-speed internet connectivity in the remote parts of the country was being highlighted. And in these darkest times, we get to enthrall with various stories of kids who used to find a particular spot in their areas just to gain high-speed internet and parents selling their valuables to buy a phone so that their children do not get behind in accessing education and a further generation of theirs have to spend their lives in difficult ways.
And because of this outbreak, the economies understood the importance of connecting the schools and imparting education digitally.
All the companies were shut down though they were able to connect their employees and offer them to **''work from home''** but still most of the employees lost their jobs because of the company's inability to incur the profit like it used to and hence had to suspend some of their employees to let the company run profitably, on another hand some companies halved the employees' salary and yet there were some known companies which were still hiring and haven't fired any of their employees nor did their salary was reduced. My brother even finds a job in one of the consultancy service companies (Tata consultancy service).
The impressive work done by our doctors who even lost their own lives saving others will be remembered as heroes, the police who was active day and night enforcing law and order ensuring the safety of citizens are heroes and it is no hidden fact that police have a bad image in most countries but this covid definitely brings changes in the mindset of some people about the police. And also the police must've been feeling proud serving the country in one of its darkest moments in parallel with the doctors.
The economies came together forgetting their differences and helping each other by distributing vaccines and sending doctors abroad where it was an emergency.
I want to conclude this article with a quote-
**"United we stand, together we win".**
**After this post covid, let us create a sense of the healthy environment in which we only breed love and gratitude for all the things so that our children develop beautifully.**
**And I would like to adhere with one more quote-**
**"We must celebrate in our worst of times" and lets not our children suffer the losses we are suffering, let's not burden them with the emotion of our near-dear ones we lost. Give them a reason to celebrate and save them from being dragged into emotional trauma.**
Thank you and have a cheerful day.

Deal with the Anger
February22, 2022
Tuesday
Hello! Good evening everyone,
Before I write something I want to tell you all that these days I am being less active here because I am so engaged with watching the web series which I mentioned in my previous article "The Last Ship". But still, I try to keep my tab updated by reading some of the articles. And in a day or two, I will be able to finish the series and come back reading all your beautiful writings.
I thought of writing this article today by reading one of @Jerrysavage00 articles' in which he mentioned controlling temper but I felt writing about how I deal with my anger issues maybe it helps some of you in some way, previously, our dearest devil Lucifer also wrote something relatable about what people do when they get in ebbs and flows of emotions. https://read.cash/@Jerrysavage00/control-your-temper-010ecad7
And before I get into it I wanted to show my gratitude to all the beloved people of read.cash
The reality is everyone on this platform is an adult and with adults I mean to say that all the users are usually over eighteen with some maybe sixteen or around and as an adult, we all have been acquainted that anger is something that can destroy things, resources and most importantly human beings and on the contrary **"IF THE ANGER IS USED AND GUIDED IN A RIGHT WAY THEN IT CAN BRING ABOUT GREATEST CHANGES"**
I would like to share an example based on real life-
*There was this labourer 'Dasrath Majhi' who is called a mountain man because he cut out a path in the mountains and he did this alone with just his two little instruments which he possessed only because his wife was died because of the injury when she fell off while going on the steep hill. Now, this is an example of how he used his anger for something constructive.*
As a human, we all possess various emotions to be happy, sad, angry, and other emotions and we as people living in the post-modernisation society tends to have so many anxieties, worries, and other factors leading to anger, and only a few of us masters how to control the anger within. I wouldn't say that I have total control over my anger but I try to keep myself calm and repose every time I get angry but there are moments when it all comes out. But something I noticed about my anger is that even when I lose control of my temper and it comes out I still manage to control it before it explodes fully.
**Ways to control:-**
*** 4 square method- This method is so useful and the crux lies in 4 minutes of breath in, 4 minutes of holding the breath, 4 minutes of breathing out, and 4 minutes to again hold without any breath whenever you get angry in some situations or someone or anything that leads you to anger, this method is the one which I find most effective and the fastest way to get control of your anger.**
**Get yourself involved in something which helps you to feel relaxed and doing which gives you pleasure and the activities you feel excited doing. This method can be worked out easily when you are angry about some situations or some things but if you are angry with someone you have to control yourself fully with that person and then you can deploy this method**. If you still do not know what excites you most then try to find it as soon as possible because this can be a magical wand to not let your anger destroy you.
For example I go out to run for 7-15 km whenever I feel in this heat of emotion and it acts as my medication. Moreover, I go out running even when I feel happy about something.
**You can also write about it in your diary which you hold dear. This method is also very effective. At first, you will have a feeling why you bother to write this feeling, what, why and how I am feeling angered but when you start writing this feeling into your diary "THE HALF BATTLE IS ALREADY WON" and when you will write half of the feelings you already will forget why the heck were you even getting angry on a situation/people/thing and if you manage to finish writing the feelings you will experience that you were getting angry on some scenarios which do not even require that much attention.**
Everyone develops their own mechanism to fight their anger. And I still try to read and know more about controlling anger from books, articles, and people.
**Thank you all for reading. These are just my opinion and I am not trying to preach or give a sermon to someone about something here.**
**100% original content.**
**Thank you so much Ling for such lovely thoughts for and about me. I was pleased to read that.**
Riley weekend
February 21, 2022
Master Monday!
Hello!
Good evening, everyone
Here again, I am with lull energy which just heightened as I was going to study but then since I was heightened with the energy I thought why not publish something here.
So, on Saturday 3 of my senior sir came to visit my home and they were also batchmates of my eldest brother, and they all 3 are pursuing to be doctors with my brother already a doctor. They came and I shook hands with them and make them feel comfortable followed by some refreshments tea and snacks. And then we just kept on pinging each other and then I treated them to a delicious lunch cooked by my mum.
They departed and then I continued with a web series I am watching right now and it is **"THE LAST SHIP"** available on prime video. I Just started watching this series just to get an insight into what actually is there inside this series and in the thumbnail, there was a **'destroyer ship'** and the moment I started watching it keeps on getting interesting for me, and I was so lost in the series.
As my upbringing, I am always fascinated with strategic things, team planning, leadership, battle, ambush, and the uniform. And I found it all inside that web series that's the reason I am watching it continuously. The main character **Tom Chandler** has got quite a charm and I am impressed by his dealio.
He handled the unfortunate situations for which he was not trained and yet he outperforms in all of 'em.
The web series can also be related as a time when the whole world was subdued in a great pandemic Covid 19 like a post-apocalypse, In the web series, there was a spread of the virus which enveloped the whole world so fast that almost 5 billion people were dead and the government was collapsed, no power, infrastructure, or anything people get haywire, willing to do anything to survive. Killing each other and all they could to get a hoard of everything.
With not just the people the entire countries were extinct the whole of Europe oh my gosh, and with so much of rumours and misinformation among the citizens left that when this ship arrived from the arctic with the cure people thought that they are going to finish them off with the virus, but as a man of character Thomas chandler won the trust of all the people and spread the cure and saved people as many as he could.
On the other hand here on the Asian side, the Chinese president to which America was shipping a cure to spread in the rest of the regions was actually doing the **genocide** of the entire country and actually finished the whole of **Japan** with none left.
It is so interesting but I had to cease watching it for now as I have to study too but I think those who are excited by thrills and actions, battles must watch the series.
Good luck
Thank you.
Night caving!
fEBRUARY 2022, 19
Saturday
Hello!
Here I am about to share what night caving seems like and what was my and my batchmate's experience about it.
In the early first week of the coldest month of 2016, I along with my batchmates were enjoying a place out of our native state and far from our home. It all seems so exciting with every day passing by and encountering real bears in the jungle for the first time in our life, and at the same time feeling a lit bit of other sides of the emotion that soon this all exciting and thrilling activities will be over.
And thereby one day we were taken into an outreach on our foot and we were told that we are going to do the night caving.
While I start my experience I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who support me out here in read.cash by upvotes, likes comments, readings, and sponsoring me-
So, basically, night caving as the name explains itself is done at night and in a cave but the hidden thing here is the cave will be so small that you hardly be able to put your feet on the ground that you will hardly be able to walk on your feet but the whole body. Yes, it is right you have to crawl just the whole cave not knowing what other insects, reptiles could be in there ready to inject venoms into your main bloodstream or ready to take a bite out of your flesh.
But as ascertained to you maybe it can be different for different places and I am just telling you what our experiences were. So, we were trekking with our torches in the jungle when our instructor told us that here is a cave that we have to enter and go across and it will be fun there will be no lights and all those who are having torches and phones submit it to me immediately. As was instructed we did that and the first guy went inside crawling and was followed up by others and then me too.
When I was crawling I was a bit high on my curiosity to find out how high actually this cave is and so I try to move my hand above to check the roof of the cave. And it was not even till the half of my hand distance until I flank it all out to touch the roof. And in the meantime, the guy behind me started saying what the heck I am doing as his head collided with my boots. And then I continued crawling hearing the stories from our batchmates crawling ahead of me. One of us was a little bit distracted in the cave where it was a little wider only to bump his head ahead in a stone but do not worry it was just a minor bump nothing hurtful.
And after crawling completely inside the cave and coming out we were handed over our torches and also we took a group photo though it was dark and all the photos are with my friend that is why I am not able to upload any of the photos to excite you more of how this cave looked like.
We came back to our base and had dinner only to crash in a long night with stars shining and glaring at us from the above and listening to the chirping of insects filling all the place with their noise which actually were soothing to our ears as there were none nearby and we were all alone out there.
Thank you! And I sleep.
Thanks for your continuous support dear sister @GarrethGrey07 and sister @renren16
have a good day
Trip to Mt Abu Final part
February 17, 2022
Thursday
Hello! A very warm morning to you all,
I am here with the final part of my trip to mt Abu the first part you can read here which normally will acknowledge you what made us pursue this trip and what were the challenges we'd overcome for it, and in the second part you will get to read about how we reached the destination and how exciting or dreadful for some, click here. https://read.cash/@Trofi01/trip-to-mt-abu-part-i-2e36a466 https://read.cash/@Trofi01/trip-to-mt-abu-part-ii-09885b5a
`So, it was January 01 when we reached our camp and were provided with the bed and schedule and our huts to live...`
`Now, after dinner, we were told that next morning we will go for in and around trekking and the time for tea was 0600 hours with tea and breakfast together and accordingly we had to routine our reveille ourselves but in my hut I played cards till late night with my friends and this was the first time in almost 10 years that I touched cards again. In the morning everyone get up little late and we all freshened up in a rush to get ready to the breakfast table as soon as possible and it was no big deal for us considering the background of the school where we belonged.`
`Then, we were given instructions that today since it is just the first day so we will not go far off and just do the 7-10 km trekking so we all proceeded and the instructor told us to carry a bottle of water with us but some of us feel like are we kid to carry a bottle of water with us, nah, we aren't doing that but some of us took the bottle also it was necessary because you can get dehydrated while trekking if you do not keep on taking fluids at intervals. after an inclination walk of few kilometers on a road, we reached a place "Gaumukh Dham" where the actual Gaumukh was way back about 500 stairs downward the hill and we proceeded to reach there and we walked in and around the temple and the fascinating thing about this place was there was a head of 8cow = "gaumukh" in which water keeps on coming 24/7 *365 and a freshwater, I quenched my thirst because the water was so fresh and pure and also washed myself a little bit.`
`Then, we climbed upstairs agai`n
This is the mouth of a cow giving out water continuously
Then we came back to the camp and received our lunch and then was instructed to take a little rest then we will go further to climb some mountains. And we again played cards till our evening tea at 1600 hours and after that, we proceeded to the mountain and to tell you we were climbing the mountains of **"ARAVALI RANGES"**
**The Aravali range** was looking beautiful seeing its long stretch though we cannot see it the whole because it's way too long. Anyway, after reaching the top by helping our mates who were struggling a bit while climbing we were told that this is the third highest point of this Aravali range and though it feels exciting to everyone I murmured to some friends "what is so beautiful climbing third highest point take us to the first highest then we can say that yes we climbed the highest point of Aravali.
My batchmates were listening to me and didn't say anything but then I told our instructor that we also want to climb the highest and second-highest point of this mountain range and he said very calmly, of course, we will climb them too but tomorrow and day after tomorrow and that was the point when I felt happiness climbing this point too.
We came back after soaking our faces with the glistening sunset and we also admired the way this town was designed which can be easily seen from the top we saw that every household here installed solar panels and solar geysers on their roof and that was very eco-friendly I appreciated the idea very well. And we came back to our camp and after some time had dinner and played cards and slept.
The next day, we again was late only to wake ourselves on the whistle of the instructor and we proceeded everything hurriedly and took our breakfast and started with the trekking and today we were told that we will do about 15 km trekking and I was so enthralled to hear that because I am an adventure-loving person.
We keep on going and going until we reach the base of the 2nd highest point of this mountain range and since we were already walking for quite a time and it was all uphill so the instructor said to take a 5 min rest everyone. And then we proceed to climb and this hill was the steepest climb but we keep on climbing making new ways and at places where there was no way we supported each other to climb a little upwards by supporting them on our bodies.
When we reached up-top there was a spiritual spot that was quite abandoned our instructor cleaned that spot and then light some incense sticks and then he was resting a little and we were embracing the beauty of Mt.Abu which was clearly visible from these mountains. And then we took a group photo, and the instructor said that the way we are going to climb down is way too steeper, and if we do not pay attention it can be very dangerous. Some of our batchmates were frightened and I told them what's wrong with you all, the bottom line is you are not going to die.
**We came back took our lunch > evening tea > further trekking this time we were told that we are going to some city insights and before that, we will go to some** ****toad rock point =" MENDHAK POINT"**** ***we reached > took rest> embrace the night beauty of the city > came back through the city.***
The next day, we were doing some activities in the camp itself which was no big deal for any of us. and it took time for everyone to do the activities and then we took our lunch. We were free in the evening today to visit the city if our teachers' granted permission and some was playing football and then we sneaked into the city (4 of us) without permission and we were enjoying the place and forget our way back towards the camp but we keep on enjoying reached a lake too and also saw some young people around 22-24 age enjoying with their girlfriends on bikes and having fun, we were like that's the damn beautiful scene they are having.
We came back after using the hit and trial method of finding our camp. And then the next day we went to the **"gurushikhar" The highest point but it was not meant to climb we went there by jeep as it was too far and it was normally a spiritual place we reached there roamed a little and came back ( a funny incident also happened there), then we came back**
The next day, we were set to do some rock climbing and other adventurous things it also enthralled us and after everyone did their part we came back and in the evening we were free and therefore our teacher took every one of us for a city walk and we enjoyed but 4 of us already was acquainted with all these places hehe, then came back to the camp. We had a campfire in the night with another group joining us there were girls in that group also we sing some songs and they did some flexible demonstrations of stretching and karate and other stuff. Then the next day we visited a temple a famous one **"DILWARA JAIN TEMPLE"** No cameras were allowed in there and in the evening we went to witness the sunset point and it was so beautiful.
In the night I was called for mentioning the names of our batchmates in the certificate list and it was quite a time-taking and then I observed in the manager's office that the kitchen mess is fitted with CCTV cameras and every activity of the workers in the mess can be seen directly from here and other places of the camp premise were easily visible in his monitor.
This gives a positive image of the management to me.
This was all that happened and NOW I will upload some photos:
This is the place where we sued to have our meals the benches are arranged behind those bushes, isn't it beautiful to have food in open-air haha??
This was our hut;
This was inside the camp area.
Station where we arrived first and had to depart from.
