Phubbing

Hey hi! How are you? I hope you're fine. Good to see you back. Last week I had a get together with my friends. We had a good chitchat in the first 30 minutes had good food but it only ended up like this shown in the above picture. Well that was not the first time I had seen this scene, or you're seeing it. We all go through such scenes everyday. All thanks to Covid 19& smartphones!  And this very phenomena is called as phubbing. Making it more simple, phubbing involves using a smartphone while with people and interacting with the smartphone rather than the person or people present. Now you might wonder & say क्या ही फरक पडता हे! Because Phubbing may seem like a relatively harmless or simply annoying, part of modern life, many of us have even got used to it. But research is finding that it may have a significant impact on your mental health. How? Lets see! When someone phubs you, you may feel rejected, excluded, and not important because we all are part of this amazin...

Killing distractions!

Few days back I was talking to my friend who wants to Give CET but isn't able to concentrate, there are many distractions in her life, which makes it difficult to her to concentrate. So, I decided to write a blog on distractions according to my understanding.  When I researched upon Distractions- I got a definition of Distraction on wiki Which was:    Distraction is the process of diverting the attention of an individual or group from a desired area of focus and thereby blocking or diminishing the reception of desired information. Distraction is caused by: the lack of ability to pay attention; lack of interest in the object of attention; or the great intensity, novelty or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention. Well sorry for lots of jargons!😂😂 But in simple words according to me, Distractions are everything that seems more interesting than our duty.  You will always have 2 options anyways: Maths class or party, vadapav/pizza etc or ghar ka khana, Instagr...

Pause!

Hello!! So if you are here, now pause on until next 10 minutes, this will definitely change your life!! Once a bird was searching for a home to lay her eggs and get shelter in this heavy rainy season. In her search she saw 2 trees and ask first one for shelter.But the first tree refused to give her shelter. The bird got very disappointed, now she went to the second tree and hopefully it agreed. She made her home and layed her eggs. Now the rainy season had arrived, bird was very happy and grateful that she got shelter. At the same time she saw that the first tree had felt down because of heavy rains and it got carried away by flood. The bird saw this and she taunted it " See this is your karma,now God has given you this punishment. " To which the tree smiled and said, " I knew I'm not going to survive this rainy season that's why I refused you. I didn't want to risk your and your children's lives. Which just stunned the bird and she became silent. S...

Decision making - An Important skill!

Yesterday I revisited 2nd adhyaya of Bhagwadgeeta, through my beloved friend -  Nisha Channe's blog . She is the youngest individual to write Shrimad Bhagwadgeeta-according to today's era. If you wish to visit her blog ,just click here Coming back to the point,I personally feel 2nd adhyaya of Bhagwadgeeta is important. In this adhyaya is where Arjuna expressed his dillemas regarding the kurukshetra yuddha. He expressed his fears regarding losing his own kins, and hence wanted to back off from the fight. Here shri krishna played a role of counsellor in the life of Arjuna. He guided him from confusion towards a conclusion. And that is why I felt to write a blog on decision making. Decision making is one among the most important skill,an individual must have. Many a times we have dillemas just like Arjuna had, whether to do or not to do. Should I take this course or should I not? Should I talk about it or should I not? Should I do this or not? Will it be appropriate ? What will m...
