Life lessons Pakoda taught me!!

One day when I was very keenly observing my mom while she was making pakodas, I thought it is very simple and thought why my mom always tells me to stay away from it.
I went to mom and presented my interest in making them. She said "No" but it was no time that my mom was convinced.
She gave me the flour and said to wait until the oil gets heated up and carefully drop that mixed wet flour. I readily went with so much of energy as I thought it is very easy. I dropped some flour into the hottt oil. I suddenly took my hand out of that. My mom was watching me as if saying me that it is not soo easy. I again dropped it keeping my hand at some height and dropped that flour.
The oil sputtered out. My mom was shouting and telling that it is not that easy. But I anyhow continued to do it. My mom then said to keep my hand closer at some inches distance and drop. I did but again lifted my hand and again the oil was jumping and playing with me. I was so afraid of the hot oil and gave it to mom that I am not going to do this. My mom took it and said come here let me tell you a story of life.
Seee life is not easy like the hot oil you are seeing. But life can be easy if there is something special in it. Now see people or things are like hot oil. If you drop this flour into the oil with fear or angry or hate or any ill feeling, it will give back the same to you.
And if you try to give some love, and slowly drop it then it wouldnot disturb you.
This is life and this is how pagodas are made.
This one act of kindness or knowledge I got from my mom from the pakoda making process is lovely.

Love is what others want. Try to find time to show love towards others and make life simply amazing.

Dare to laugh!

 You know why people go to grounds especially the old people just to laugh? It is because laughing is an exercise which makes our body and mind strong and energetic. You do not know your laugh would let others laugh. I have seen a video many days ago where a man in a train was laughing looking at his phone watching a comedy scene and the others who were seeing it were also laughing. Did he say all of them to laugh? He just did it right? It is said that we should not laugh loud. Especially when girls laugh immediately someone jumps in and says you are a girl don't laugh. I don't know where these alien people come from. Hahahah. But we should laugh. All our nervous system energizes when we laugh. Your laugh might also energize someone else too!! So why late...keep laughing as louder as you can.

Change

CHANGE Change is unexpected but leaves a great impression. If there is no change there would be no butterflies. Caterpillar looks ugly and most of us don't like it. But when this caterpillar itself becomes a Butterfly. It looks so beautiful and everyone starts admiring it. This is “Change". Change is Beautiful and admirable. Now if you are in any problem or facing most drastic condition; Trust me, it will change and this change will give you a better peaceful life. Just as a Beautiful Butterfly comes out of an ugly caterpillar. Your lives will also change from worse to best. When an old leaf falls, new leaf rise. Past mistakes ends and new thing starts. Growth is change. Remember, if something is changing in your life, it means you are growing. If we sow a seed in earth. It starts germinating and grows into a sapling, a plant and then a big tree. When it is sown it is in dark, in mud inside the earth and as it grows it travels from darkness to light. In the same way, if God ke...

Knowing self!

Many times we might feel very low. We loose our confidence sometimes. It is because we compare our life with someone else's life. Why do we do this? It is because we might not know much about our self than someone else. We try to think so much about others (in terms of comparing) and know more about them than thinking about our own self. Many of us are in familiar with our own capabilities. There are infinite things we can do. Our mind has that power then why don't we think of doing things out of our comfort zones. It might be very hard to start and keep going but if you do it everyday, you can easily make anything happen. One can be good at writing, one can be good at eating, others in dancing, singing or sleeping etc. It does not mean that you do not have anything. May be you are good at brushing your teeth, playing or just using a laptop. You might be good at operating your cell phone. Many others do not know this. If you do not find anything, this is the least case to consi...
