A WORLD FULL OF AMIGOS!

Have you ever come across with someone who has taught you a life lesson just in one meet or even in a conversation? Let me share my story and make this topic a bit more interesting. There was a phase when I was barely interested in talking to people around me. Animals, music and nature became my friends (They are still my best companions though). No, I’m not blaming anyone for this because it was me who wasn’t completely feeling herself. During that time, I started seeing things differently. I realized that the society we live in, is surrounded by millions of strangers. A world full of Amigos!

THE GREATEST TEACHERS ARE OFTEN THE LEAST OBVIOUS ONES

Now the interesting part is each unknown person can teach you more than you will ever think of. This happened  with me because I talked to many people on an anonymous platform, who were alien to me. I know I know you probably just rolled your eyes at this because we’ve always been taught that it is not safe to talk to an outsider. But here’s a small reminder: we all start as strangers. And in the world where concept of blind dates and making pen friends have become ordinary, can I not even share or listen to a newbie? Okay I won’t mind if you consider me a bit lunatic in this case 😀 Also, I’ve always believed that it is completely normal to escape from reality when you feel lost. In fact, it somewhere helps you in getting back to the right track.

So I listened to their life stories, what’s their point of view on different aspects, how they cope up with day to day issues and what not. And all of them astonished me in one or the other way. Some of them were highly intellectual. Their mind and mouth were completely in sync. They taught me number of lessons. For instance, how to enjoy your freedom, never under estimate the impact of a small effort, what’s important is to live for yourself and the list goes on.

 The other ones were going through a hell lot of issues. But they were very comfortable in sharing their worries because somewhere they knew that I’m not going to judge them. And even if I do, it will hardly bother them. So here what I learned is vibes don’t lie. Hence, trust them. Also, If you’re sharing your story/problem and asking someone about their opinion on it, you might get a fruitful advice. As I truly feel that the greatest teachers often are the unexpected ones.

THE LESSON

Now that you know my story, you will understand better what I’m exactly trying to convey. We are all busy creatures. We have baggage, we have problems, we have to-do list that never seems to end. But if we help someone even by being a good and patient listener, we can make an optimistic difference in his life.

A stranger can help you go through a small, but difficult moment. And this could be a good deed without expecting anything in return, right?

There will always be someone who is busier, someone who is going through one or the other problem, someone who has more difficult path to blaze. Which is why I am recommending that WE take at least 10 minutes of our busy schedule, to  some empathy and make other person’s morning/afternoon/evening a little bit better than it started. Trust me, you will feel happier than the person who was in trouble.

You must be wondering that how is it possible to be a wingman for an unfamiliar soul. How will we even get to know about who wants our help. So here’s your answer, you don’t have to make efforts in that. Just stop and look around, there are number of anonymous individuals that might need your help. A little kindness can go a long way.

Always keep in mind, a simple gesture can make a huge difference in someone’s life. So try to be a ray of sunshine in a stranger’s entity and feel the happiness. Make our society a happy and healthier one.

I hope this write up sparks something in you and convince you in helping someone.. Also, do let me know in the comment section when was the last time you helped a stranger or has an amigo ever lend his helping hand towards you?

WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME!

So I just binge watched a web show on YouTube (Yes, this platform also recommends you some good miniseries at times😄) called “A summer story”. It’s a wonderful slice of life drama which is endearing and covers a lot of aspects of the life of people in their twenties. Meanwhile, nostalgia hit me really hard when a group of friends staying together in a flat and doing all the night fun which we used to do during our hostel days no matter how terrible our day has been. Ahh! Why time travel is not possible? Wish I could back in time.

Have you ever had this feeling when a particular moment or incident made you think that God! Wish I could go back to those days… A time when you were truly yourself, a time when you were genuinely happy from inside out, when you were enjoying a good company keeping aside all your worries and stress, when everything was falling at right place. Okay you might find this topic a bit irrational but I’m sure you could relate to it to some extent coz we all go through such musing very often.

Well, I undergo such thoughts quite frequently, especially when things doesn’t go great enough or I’m really missing my good old days. And this pandemic has surely forced me to think in that way. Travelling, attending concerts/gigs, good food in a fine dine restaurant or even golgappas near a street corner, hanging out with friends and going for some crazy drives are few of the major missing in 2020. Most unpredictable time in human history! Isn’t it?

Many a times, we wish to go back to our childhood days as well. Because as we grew up, we realized that those heaviest bags were the lightest burden we carried. Oh, Instagram make me read such kind of quotes a lot😉

COUSIN SQUAD
Good old days with my childhood playmates (cousins) who grow up to be Friends Forever

So these are some blissful moments which we want to relieve. Now let’s discuss about those unclosed chapters that lay scattered.

NOT EVERY BLOOPER IS MEANT TO MAKE YOU LAUGH

We also wish to reverse the time to make things right, as there are certain blunders due to which we are unable to move on. Some serious life bloopers really force us to rethink. We feel like those chapters are calling us back to them. The ignored aspects of our lives are demanding attention. But I don’t get one thing, why do we lay more stress on correcting our past mistakes rather than accepting them and try to be a better person? Why spoil your present because of something which is related to your past? Life requires you to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.

LIFE GOES ON

”My present is full of amazing people, but somehow, the people in my past hold the same importance till date. All in all, I miss them a hell lot”. This happens with everyone. All of us create certain bond with someone that once meant everything to us. Although, they never ended, they faded away with a time. And somewhere we still hope to get those days back. Everyone knows that there’s no such time machine which could allow us to undo our regrets or relive our favorite moments. And here the only thing that strikes us is “life moves on, so we carry on with life.”

I so wish it could be that easy. But sooner or later, you will come to terms with reality. So try and be as passive as possible. You can also learn from others which is a lot faster than trying to figure everything out for yourself.

Google gave me an apt quote for my state of mind:

Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can only DO something is Renew yourself and Release that attachment. Today is a new day!🌞

I tried my best to explain the analogy between joyful and gloomy past. I’m curious what you think! Share your favorite moments in the comment section which you wish to relive or any dreadful thought which daunts you till date 🙂

Is there any point to hold Grudges against anyone?

Before I start this topic let me clear one important point. Though grudge and resentment are similar in books but there’s a bit difference between the two in real world. The former is a deep feeling of dissatisfaction due to betray and is always directed towards people. On the other hand, resentment is a feeling of painful bitterness due to any unfair practice and unlike a grudge, it can be directed towards concepts in addition to people. 

We all have experienced hurt and pain in our lives. Oh! I’ve also been the victim of this. There was a time when I was drowned with betray, questions and negative thoughts. But fortunately, it did not last for long.

Have you ever thought why do we hold grudges when they are quite painful to maintain? Why do we keep hurting ourselves by living in past experiences of pain which prevent new experiences from being able to happen? What keeps us stuck when we want to let go and above all, does it really make sense to hold such kind of intense bitterness?  

CONSEQUENCES

The worst part towards holding hard feelings is that you gradually turn into a bitter person and start yourself wrapping so much up in the negative thoughts that you can’t enjoy the present. A small fight can literally ruin any relation if we don’t allow ourselves to forget and let go. Sometimes people spend ages by hanging onto a particular argument. Even though they may have strong desire and put in concerted effort to move on and start with afresh but they fail. Few things are more daunting than having to speak in front of a large crowd. This issue is one of them. You really can’t express how hard it is to let go for some people.

But what’s the point? You had an argument with someone. You furiously said lot of cruel words which weren’t needed. Now, instead of sorting out, you both decide to part your ways even when you never thought of doing so. And then there comes a time when two of you indulge in thinking what went so wrong that we took this big step? Mental pain is the worst pain one could ever deal with and I hope it is clear after reading the consequences.

HOW TO GET RID OF THIS FEELING?

Grudges don’t make us feel better or heel our hurt. Here are some ways to get a grip on the pain and find the strength to let it go:

  • The best way to forget this bitter feeling is to start rewinding good moments happened. Instead of wasting time in recalling why did they do that, start thinking about the good times.
  • Acknowledge the problem and understand that everyone feel a pang of remorse. Some people are unable to apologize or may not fully understand that the person they hurt may need to hear one.
  • Don’t dwell on it and stop doing a continuous discussion on that topic.
  • Understand that not every person is meant to stay. They came, played their role and went back. So take it as a learning experience instead of blaming anyone. Walk away with the better understanding that can help you let go of the issue.
  • I know some disputes can never find settlement. And forgiving isn’t the easiest to do especially when you’ve endured a lot of pain and hurt, but it’s the only way to live a peaceful life without disappointments. So forgive and move on.

We are young. We make impulsive decisions. Many of us spend most of our time in thinking what went wrong, instead how to make it right. I was alike you. But not anymore. I understood that you can begin to free yourself when you begin to forgive. And I’ve learned this from my super hero,” My Father”. He has made me realize that we should always choose to create our own healing with or without apology.

So if you’re dealing with such kind of hatred just ask yourself, Is all this making any sense ?

I’m curious what you people think! Feel free to sound off below in the comment section. And remember, no hard feelings for anyone 🙂

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, LET THEM SHOW WHO ARE THEY ALL!

The title of this write up must be giving you some Disney feels.“Snow white and the seven dwarfs”. Well let me clear it in the beginning only. “Mirror Mirror on the wall, let them show you who are they all” is my own edition. Here, we are not going to talk about bitter truth or anything which will make you feel disheartened. Because a mirror does not always show you the harsh reality. It also boost up your morale when you feel dejected.

Remember how we used to stand in front of the mirror and practice for our debate competitions or any other curricular activities? I’m sure most of us still do it. This technique helps you to accept who you are, how you look and where do you stand in life. It also perceives that you should only compete with one person: yourself. That’s the person you have to beat every single day and when you do, you need to get better and beat him again. Trust me, nothing could be more honest than your own replica.

When you walk into a professional place, you’re likely to see mirrors on one or more walls. Be it a gym, dance, martial arts or any other physical performance activity. Because it’s helpful for participants to see themselves perform. Mirror is also a psychological aid; reinforcing a performance-driven self-image. We experience ourselves as we see ourselves.

Here are some points which proves how mirror can be advantageous to your self esteem:

Reflections make us realize our self-worth:

The mirror can be used to critique ourselves. But it also offers perspective on just how unlikely we our treating ourselves. There comes a time when you’re in the midst of what to do in life and what not to. This is when you have to look at your reflection and say positive, successful, motivational statements about yourself as a person and your life in general. “Everything is going to be fine. I can do this. I got this. No one can stop me in achieving my goals. Just a matter of hard work and I’m right there.” This is the best technique to realize your own worth.

Reflections make us less socially awkward:

Socializing has become a crucial part of everyone’s life in today’s era. Even after growing up with utmost sensibility and maturity, many people don’t know how to keep their opinions in front of known audience. The reason is lack of confidence. Imagine, when we find difficulty in sharing our thoughts among our own mates then how are we going to interact in front of 100 strangers or even more? An optimistic look in mirror reaffirms our sense of self. It stimulates face to face contact with others and eventually makes us less socially awkward.

Mirror says “You’re beautiful in your own way”:

Not only in professional life, seeing your reflection is also important in your daily routine. Now a days people are extremely worried about physical appearances. And most of them feel ashamed just by comparing their body or looks with others. Forget about adults, the insecurities related to body image and looks among young generation is increasing on an another level. Comparison is the main problem behind such issues. They see an attractive feature that someone has and immediately want it while disregarding the beautiful features they already have. But when you look yourself in mirror, think positive, accept the way you are and keep aside all your insecurities. This object will always make you feel beautiful and you will end up embracing yourself in the best possible manner.

This object never fails to make me happy from inside :)

 

A quick glance in the mirror may do more for you that you realize. So my dear ones if you’re not feeling quite yourself, consider taking the time for a thoughtful look in the mirror 🙂

IT’S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY AT TIMES!🥀

Society: Hey, you look sad. Is everything okay? 

Me: Yeah! Absolutely.

This is the most predictable lie people chooses to hide their sentiments. Isn’t it?

IS IT REALLY NORMAL TO BE SAD? 

We are social beings with multiple emotions. It is in our basic nature to react differently in different situations. Someday we are happy even in little things and the other day we are with full of complaints about how life treats us. Joy, fear, anger, excitement, frustration goes hand in hand in our usual routine. But you know what the sad part is? Happiness and Smiles are always discussed publicly with so much pride. On the other hand, grief and tears are kept deep inside our hearts or locked up in an isolated room. It’s fine not to be okay at times. Still, why does it seem people are ashamed to cry? Why do we have to pretend normal the entire day and wait for the night to weep? May be, it’s been drummed into us that crying is a sign of weakness or even as unprofessional.

I’m not denying with the fact that one should save his tears for worthy people and do not let them waste on some useless random situations. But I also feel that a person should never hide his emotions beyond a certain limit, because they help him to adapt, accept, focus, preserve and grow.

 

STOP RELYING ON TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS

Highs and lows are the parts of life. It’s completely normal to feel down sometimes. You cannot always live with a bright smile on your face. Shed your tears, show your dark side too, to some extent. But do not over think about any situation. Otherwise this sadness wouldn’t take time to turn out into depression. Sleeping pills, anti depressants, avoiding people is not the solution of every problem. These are just temporary methods to get rely on. Eating healthy, taking care of your body, mind and soul, accepting failures with positivity are the ways to come out from difficult times. And such things are possible only when you stop being too harsh on yourself and start letting your emotions out.

There’s a saying that “we become stronger when we break”. It’s like we put our broken parts together and become a whole new person. You can always find something beautiful in broken things.

It’s not necessary to share your problem only when you are dealing with something major. Any negative emotion is itself a big thing to talk about. You may feel unhappy for various reasons. From personal matter to trouble at work, from being physically sick to experiencing changes in your thoughts. These points might look very basic and insignificant but they can slow you down and make you really think about your life, your feelings and the people around you..

I agree it is easier said than done because the one who is writing this blog feels herself uneasy too in expressing her sentiments when she undergoes with her own mental pain. And sometimes I also want to explain things but choose to remain silent. Well, this solution never helped me to overcome with my agony. If you were to hold in all your sadness and anger, you would explode someday. And that explosion would probably be more harmful than the pre consequences. At the same time, people should also understand how stressful it is to explain what’s going on in your head when you don’t even understand it yourself.

So take your time..discuss about your issues with someone who can listen you with patience, give you a suitable advice and make you calm. Trust me, it is a sign of stable sense of well being! And do remember one thing:

I’TS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY AT TIMES BUT IT’S NOT FINE TO RUIN YOUR INNER PEACE FOR ANYTHING IN LIFE! 🙂

IT’S TIME TO REBOOT YOURSELF !

From past few weeks, there’s only one word which is stuck with us like a strong gum and that is CORONA. No matter where you go, whom you talk to, what are you watching, this topic has become a new sensation for the entire world. People are so frustrated that as soon as they hear about COVID-19, their expressions suddenly changes into “OH God! Not Again. Well there’s no point to annoy yourself thinking that “What am I going to do in these four walls until next few days” because it’s time to reboot your life.

This is a major outbreak which cannot be ignored at any cost. Safety has always been everyone’s priority so if one has to compromise with their work, duties and projects then I don’t think he/she should get offended.

“My home is the safest place to live in. I don’t get enough time to spend with my family due to busy schedule. I miss my good old days when I used to focus more on my hobbies and do all those things which I love the most”. These are the most common dialogues we keep saying throughout our regular days. And now when we got some time to stay calm, we are bored…we are done. Funny, isn’t it?

Do you even realize how terribly we are trapped in this rat race that we cannot even imagine to be at our own comfort zone even for couple of days. The entire mass media is flooded with safety measures, all the famous personalities are trying to convey the importance of self-quarantine. Doctors, nurses, compounders are having sleepless nights just to cure their patients as early as possible. And we? We are tired of sitting at home because we have nothing to do. Like seriously?

RESUME WITH THE FLASHBACK

Everyone has wished at some point or another that life  came with a reboot button. So It’s high time to reboot yourself but with a little twist, BY GOING BACK TO BASICS. Who said only outdoor activities can keep us busy? Who said that we can entertain ourselves only by going out? Sleeping is not the only option left. There is so much productive you can do while stuck indoors. 

Meditate, learn something through internet, watch movies, paint, dance, play board games, do some soothing conversation with your parents, video call your friends, help your mother in doing household work, try out aerobics and yoga, take time to reflect yourself, read or write a good story, work from home is not a bad option either, take out all the old albums, have a look on your childhood videos and feel nostalgic about how time flies so fast, keep yourself updated with this corona virus pandemic through any kind of medium.

I’m sure you must have already heard the above suggestions and many of us have also started implementing them. So these common ideas are for those people who are still taking this deadly virus lightly and complaining like a small kid.

We share this planet with many other species. Development is important but not at the cost of killing other species. We will overcome this but we must realize that messing with Mother Nature comes at a cost. Patiently wait for the storm to pass, cause this too shall pass.

Oopsss, I forgot to say something, “Stay safe, Stay home and Stay positive!” 😀

LITTLE THINGS ALWAYS MATTER IN LIFE🦋

Do you recall those moments which made your day beautiful before going to bed? Do you smile looking back at something that happened during the day? Wondering why I’m asking such questions? Well this blog is all about those sweet little gestures which add beauty to your life. Because little things matter and will always do.

Let me elaborate this topic by starting with the most celebrated day of everyone’s childhood, i.e. our BIRTHDAY. Generally People get excited for their birthdays because of grand surprises, lovely gifts they receive and parties they do to make their special day memorable. But my case is a bit different. Before moving to different city for higher studies, the best part of my birthday used to be when my mother wakes me up in the morning with a birthday wish in her sweetest voice along with showering of rose petals on my face. Nothing could ever make me happier than this gesture. Sometimes these small things go unnoticed because we take them for granted.

I always wonder how those tiny stars can lighten up the entire sky. How these cute little babies’ innocent smile refreshes everyone’s mood. How an old couple walking together hand in hand makes us believe in true and permanent love.

Close up of elderly couple holding hands and walking outdoors.
Close up of elderly couple holding hands and walking outdoors.
  • Dancing like a carefree bird with my whole heart.
  • Good hair day. When I can’t stop myself admiring in the mirror.
  • Watching a nice movie, curled up under the blanket.
  • Having a soothing conversation with family.
  • Evening walk on the terrace, listening to good music and feeling up the breeze.
  • Meeting an adorable dog or cat and getting to pet him or her.
  • 2 am phone calls to one of those rare people who knows me better than anyone else.
  • A session of craziness and laughter with my mates.
  • Cooking successfully without taking help from mommy the great👩‍🍳
  • Just looking at my parents and feeling satisfied that I’m one of the main reasons behind their happiness.
  • Fighting with my younger brother for T.V. remote or last slice of pizza.
  • Genuine Appreciation about anything.
  • Video calling with my cousins and friends just to take stupid random screenshots and post them on social media.

    Ohh! That’s me, posing with the adorable kitty “Saisha” 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are some cute little things which brighten up my smile and have huge positive impact in my go-to life.

Not only in happiness, small things are also important in making your work life balanced and organised. We spend 80% of our day attending to small things. Sticking on commitments, delivering on time, following up on actions, doing every task with full dedication and what not? And if 80% of our day is spent disorganized and chaotic, where does it lead? A distracted mind will get more distracted and we won’t be able to concentrate on bigger assignments. This is why it is necessary to focus on little things first.

Generally human nature is all about getting connected with someone and expecting various things gradually with a passage of time. Over thinking and complaining of not meeting up the expectations often leads to frustration. But during this process, we neglect those small things they do to make us feel special.

There comes a time when you feel low, when things are not going great, every task seems messy and difficult to accomplish. On these days, you need to bring in the things that would require no effort to give you some strength to go through such tough phases. The magic of starting to focus on these little things is that you will gradually shift your thought from what is missing in your life to what is there.

So find joy and beauty in little things for one you will look back and realize they have played the major role in making your life happier!! 🙂 🌈

LIVE LIFE LIKE A SUMMER VACATION

Every day in your life can be a vacation!

What used to be your favorite time of the year when you were in school? Well, if you ask me then it has to be the most awaited time of the year, “SUMMER VACATIONS” when we used to get free from our annual examinations and gear up to have nothing but the memorable time with our closed ones. Right from deciding to sleep the entire day while watching T.V to staying up till late night, we used to build castle in our own heads about various things. Planning for exciting fun-filled holidays, thrilling adventures, endless shopping, tradition of visiting maternal family and cousins’ get together.  Daymn! Is it even possible to achieve 100 plans in just 60 days? 😀

Although the vacation used to start with lots of vigor and promises but sadly culminate before we could actually get the feel of it. In the excitement of doing so many things altogether, we would forget about the duration of time and would thus end up doing half of what we thought. Leave aside the fun part, even our school homework was piled up for the last, creating a panic situation at the end.

Alike summer vacations, the similar situation manifests in life too.

All of our life, we keep making proposals about various uncertain events, trying to fix those problems or occurrences which are not even in our hands. But Life is so unpredictable; we desire something, plan something and get something else. Just as in our school days, we used to save the best for the summer vacations or at the end of the session. Similarly in life, we keep postponing the best for later stages. But the universal truth we all must abide by is, none of us is aware of our future.

Despite of planning for long , we cannot achieve everything and when we decides to go with a flow, things turn out more beautifully as it is rightly said that “unexpected and sudden plans are always the best ones’.

WHAT IS LIFE IN REALITY?

It’s so terrifying to hear multiple stories from all around about sudden demises, accidents, suicides, murders or any kind of shocking uncertain events. Now Just give a thought, what is life in reality? People struggle throughout with various issues related to career, work, building a house, worrying about children’s education and marriage and then suddenly there’s this unexpected full stop forever. They start getting trapped into the physical ailments and because of this everything comes to a standstill. Now what about their own dreams which they thought to fulfill after winding up the mentioned issues? What about those small wishes which kept on delaying thinking that this could be done afterwards too coz it’s not that important?

I’m definitely not against the planning process coz I know its importance as well. All I’m saying is we don’t decide time, it’s the life which does, we just pretend. So why to wait for the perfect time when you can take the moment and make it perfect?

MAKE LIFE AS MEMORABLE AS YOU TRY TO MAKE YOUR SUMMER VACATIONS!

STOP making plans for several lives in this one life because this journey is too short to worry about future and regret about the past. Live every moment with great joy and happiness as if you’re on a vacation. Don’t wait for a perfect summer holiday, start making each day like one. In whatever capacity we can, we should try and enjoy life in its each moment with every breathe so that there are no regrets of the summer vacation coming to an end! 🙂

Too easy to say such things and too hard to implement them in real. Isn’t it? But what’s that vacation where there is no difficulty in executing a plan? 😉 So start living your life like summer holidays, and do let me know about your views in the comment section.

The picture says it all!!

JOINT FAMILY- Happy with Harmony !

Indian culture is full of values, ideologies and customs. Our culture believes in “परिवारो मम जीवनं ईशो मे परिच्छेदकः “ which means ‘Family is my life and God is my Judge’.  Having a family is the greatest blessing of God. There was a time when a term called “nuclear family” doesn’t used to exist. Despite of financial crisis or lack of any other resources, People were happy living together with their cousins and elders. But unfortunately, with the passage of time, Joint family system is gradually fading away. Living in a chaos, yet finding peace and happiness by having a sense of togetherness is basically what joint family is.

Being myself a family member of twenty most unusual but hilarious people, I feel that living together is more beneficial than having your own separate world. There’s no doubt that nuclear family has its own pros in today’s world of modernization but you can also not deny in the saying, “Ek saath rehne ka mazaa he kuch or hai!”

 

Let’s discuss the perks of having a jolly joint family:

Grandparents’ moral advice and blessings:

You’re the luckiest if you have the most experienced people i.e. grandparents in the house. Because the kind of love and blessings they shower upon us is the purest form of any emotion.

So always listen to what they suggest because they always think of your betterment and will never give you any wrong advice. Moreover you will always be free from your parents’ never ending scolding 😀

Team work:

When you’re growing up in a big family, one of the most important lessons which you learn is how to work in a group. Be it a planning of any celebration or just a routine task, working together will always be the preference of all the members. So that, more innovative ideas could be add on in less time.

Multi-Dimensional Growth:

Different people in the family possess different art, values and traits. They also differ in opinions and perceptions about a specific thing. In their company, children also get benefited by their knowledge. So they can have a multi-dimensional growth.

Unconditional Love:

Imagine how special you can feel when you get extra dose of unconditional love from your elders and siblings! Well that’s the beauty of a big fat family. All the pampering, love, care and concern for you just get doubled.

Family vacations and endless parties:

One of the best things of being a member of joint family is the happening family vacations. Travelling with your family in a mini-bus, having the best “antakshari” sessions is unparalleled to any other experience. You get to travel more and travel bigger.

Moreover, there is no stop to the amazing parties. Birthdays, festivals, marriages, anniversaries, achievements, celebrations goes on and on. And you also get multiple selfies+videos for your Instagram stories 😉

We may not have it all together But together, we have it all..!

Pillars of support and various sharing partners:

Nuclear family system does not give you too many options when it comes to sharing your secrets with anyone. And there are certain things which you might not feel comfortable sharing with your parents.

But a joint family person will never complaint about this issue because he/she has got the panel of members with whom one can easily have conversation on any topic. Uncle, aunt, sister/brother-in-law or cousins- you just have to pick your favorite one to burst out anything you have in your mind.

Tom and Jerry equation with your siblings:

Oh God! I have no words to describe the everyday fights with all my idiotic creatures. Our mum calls us “junglis” because we really act like one at times 😀 Fighting for remote, getting irritated by each other’s nuisance, our melodrama doesn’t get stop. But despite of all the arguments, anger and annoyance, we cannot think of living apart from each other. So this is why, we are current versions of Tom and Jerry.

Weirdos since birth!🐒

Understanding of every emotion:

When you are growing up with number of people, you got to understand their change in behavior or mood swings as well. You do not have to think for a longer time about what they want to say or express because you have know them for years. Their happiness, sadness, excitement, dull look generally becomes so predictable.

These are very basic and common points which everyone is aware of but the sad part is they do ignore it most of the times. So here’s a small reminder for my readers: Never hold grudges towards any of your family member. Because these people were your past, they are your present, and they will always be there standing by your side in your future too!

You might have misunderstandings and lack of privacy, You might feel insecure from one another or hurt each others’ feelings. But such issues are short lived because everyone knows the importance of family. And one or the other day, you will also realize that Life can be pleasant without the Internet as you have the biggest source of Entertainment at your own home..!!

May be Blurry Picture but definitely not a Blurry Life!🌸
