Breathing in the era of pollution




In this era, when we experience pollution at peak levels, many of us wonder, how we are able to breathe in such an environment. If we look at the readings of harmful substances in the environment around us, we are shocked to find out how harmful it is for us to breathe. But, do we ever stop breathing? Do we ever do something that can bring about a change in these levels. Almost 90% of people are known to worry about such a situation but I am sure that not even 9% do something to bring about a change.
Similarly, as the physical environment around us is at great pressure due to human intervention, our inner peace is also disturbed at large. This is because the modern lifestyle is known to give a lot of reasons to worry to an individual. People, due to work pressures or due to reasons out of there control, tend to worry at large. This causes depletion of their happiness and their soul, slowly. And this is what I call inner pollution. The phenomenon of polluting one’s peace due to the modern lifestyle and worrying at large, is what I call soul pollution. Just as physical contamination of harmful substances in the environment can cause serious damage to our physical being, mental stress leads to destruction of happiness in our lives. Just like we do not stop breathing in case of pollution, we should make sure we do not lose our calm in moments of apprehension. Just like we do not stop breathing in excess pollution, we should make sure to keep our composure in moments that come before us to test us in lives.

Do not ignore your worries, do not run away from responsibilities, but try to remain in a state, which do not narrow your perspective towards a thing or world, but broadens it. A wide perspective is possible only if you have a clean soul, far from tensions, apprehensions and worries. These will never leave you in the modern era, you have to start living in a way, that enhance your capacity to fight, struggle and defeat them. Just as pollution damages body, worries damage our soul. Feel calm, stay happy and live life, do not just spend your days in surviving, cherish your moments because they would never come back.

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

To work as per my passion and not profession:

The greatest fear of anyone around us, is of being not able to grab a respectable position in this society. As it was said in a famous movie that if we do not score good marks, we will not be able to grab a good grad college, and if there is not a good grad college with good marks, there would be no placement, no placement means no job, no job means no salary and no salary means no marriage. This means our society at large, is moving just to prove themselves on just a single front, i.e. to prove that they are worth marrying?? Or for that case, to grab a job which pays them handsomely. Is it the only thing left in our lives, to get money and family and get settled? What about our own aspirations? Each one of us, during our development stage, begin to develop some hobbies, some passions which we feel connected to. Some are too mainstream and some might even not be known to anyone accept us. If we stick to one of our passion, we develop a skill related to it. It may be singing,...
Gore haathon me mehandi ka rang hai gehra.... Laage hai ab pyar karne waalon ka aane wala hai waqt sunahara... Ek ek pal ab lagne laga hai thehara thehera.... Ab to bas saanson par hai ek bas yaar ke naam ka pehra... Aa jaye bas ab wo pal jab milein pyar karne waale do dil.... Waqt ko bhagao jaldi kaho yar ko ab jaldi se aa mil Aane ko hi ab hai raat milan ki... Khatam hone ko hi hain ab ghadiyaan sabar ki... Aayega jab yaar tab aayegi suhaani bahaar Milega aakhirkaar tootkar chaha hua wo pyar Jeewan mein fir ek naya savera hoga Khushiyon ka subah shaam fir zindagi mein basera hoga... -Anmol
