The Real Autumn of Life-Aging

The Real Autumn of Life-Aging/Soup for the Soul

The Real Autumn of Life-Aging is inevitable; growing old is optional. What does this really mean? Well. Every one of us knows that the youth will certainly fade into old age one day. And all the beauty will vanish. Though many would say that youth is being young physically, I perceive young age with the age of one’s heart. Irrespective of one’s age if one is young at heart then he/she should be considered to be young.

 Energy, enthusiasm, power and eagerness are all characteristics of young mind and soul and if one continue to struggle in life in the latter days in order to have the same energy and enthusiasm then that person is truly young. We all have witnessed many such persons who are striving hard to make two ends meet even at a very old age. They are the true heroes. They should be our source of inspiration. Even in the autumn of their lives they continue to bloom as if its spring

save water

When was the last time you saw a running water tap and you went ahead and switched it off? If you have done so, then you have contributed a lot to the society. It is a very distressing fact that the planet which is made up of 70% percent water is running short of water resources. The engineers and scientists have tried to resolve the problem of water shortage. In the meantime it is obligatory on our part to play a vital role in conserving the already existing water resources and exploit them to the least.

There are many countries around the globe which experience acute water shortage, and some of them are importing water from other nations. There have been immensely tense situations between states and nations over the issue of water. As a human being and as a global citizen is our responsibility to save water and make best use of it.

rusty cycle

I have always enjoyed a cycle ride more than the ride in a car. The feeling of driving with your own strenuous efforts and advancing ahead is very pleasing. But many years have passed and I have not taken a ride on my cycle. Now rust takes its toll on the shiny handle and the tires lie flat and punctured. The thing which used to fill my dull life with energy now lies lifeless. This can happen with anything. Many things which are dear to us may rust with time just because we disconnect ourselves from them. Maintaining the bond is of vital importance. Stay in touch with all your old friends

. After all ‘Old is Gold.’

run run

Life is a race

If you don’t run you will be a broken egg! ~ 3 Idiots. And indeed this line is an eye opener for all of us in general. We are all running around in the pursuit of happiness forgetting the elementary fact that true happiness lies in the journey to our goal. We may tread on a long dreary path of which end is unknown but if we rejoice each juncture of the path we won’t even realise the time spent. It is important to have a definite goal in life but what it is more important to cherish every single entity that leads us to our destination. Live every moment as if it is your last.

The Delicacy

dog and kid

The Delicacy-Modern times have seen drastic changes in the social behavior of human beings. But even today the same sorts of classes exist within any social group which have been since centuries. Some people set themselves apart from the crowd by being different or by doing simple things in a different way; not necessarily always. At times you need to showcase your talent and outshine others than just following blindly what others are doing. Instead of simply copying others and doing what they are doing, be a trend setter and compel others to follow your path.

delicacy

You will often come across people who will be very delicate and sensitive. Small things will sometimes become a big headache with them. Though they are difficult to be with; these people help us to be tender with everyone and after sometime we like to be more caring with them.

This does not mean that they should always act like the damsel in distress and be the attention seeker in the group. They must understand that after one point this habit can be really frustrating to others. Also it is not good to exploit your weakness and make others work for you. Be tender, be kind and advice for those who hang out with them,’Handle with Care’.

tiny squirrel

This is a story of tiny squirrel that used to wander among the thick bushes in my neighbourhood, looking for food and water. One fine day, since I used to see it, I thought of offering food and water to it. To my surprise the squirrel was very delighted to have the offerings and quickly went away. After an hour while I was going out, I saw the same squirrel was again playing among the bushes. For a moment I couldn’t understand what was it doing, then after having a closer look I came to know that there was another squirrel present there. They both were enjoying the water I had given. I loved their spirit of sharing each and everything with all their near dear ones. I realised than we humans though claim to be the most social animal among all, are indeed very far and disconnected from each other.

Precaution,Prevention & Protection/Soup for the Soul

Hydrophobia is one of the most common fears among human beings. The fear of deep waters can at times be very troubling. They say that the knowledge of how to swim is a must-know technique and one will surely face an instance where it would be one’s life saver.

Considering swimming as a sport, it has a very wide audience across the world. Olympic swimming events are a major attraction and everyone looks for forward for a spectacular, record breaking swimming champs during the season. Perhaps the next Olympic will bring to light more record breakers. Till then, keep swimming.

protect yourself

Often we pray to the almighty to protect us from all the dangers we may come across. And does he protect us from all of those? Maybe He helps those who help themselves. Parents are there to insulate us from any hazards but sooner we will have to wield our own swords to battle. The crux being we should start acting independently and fight for ourselves even if no one else is fighting for us; for most of the times we will be fighting against many things and no one else to defend. For this reason we need to be strong and protect ourselves. ‘Surround yourself with love. Protect your heart with peace.’

go slow

Our fast paced lives have left very little space left for ourselves and our near and dear ones. Often the dreams are so big and our goals become so important that we neglect the precious gems that are an important part of our lives. Many a times the haste of reaching the goal clouds our vision about the current events. We start missing out things that are happening right now! If you are having a similar feeling it is time to take a pause. Take a deep breath and introspect your actions. Take some time of your schedule and relax.

Take Time. Don’t live too fast. Troubles will come. But they will pass.

The world is full of risks and dangers

The world is full of risks and dangers/Soup for the Soul and unexplored nooks and corners do exist in the vast universe. People who are over-enthusiastic in exploring such horizons have taken the thrill to a whole new level.

Engineers are now exploring new horizons but even the non-engineers are taking a new step; going beyond the normal limits. Indians now resort to Desi (Indigenous) methods. They call it Jugaad. These indigenous methods have taken a new step to solve to everyday problems using some easily available items. So, if you have some day to day problem, be an engineer and do some Jugaad. : P

Ever been the victim of eye teasing?/Soup for the Soul

Ever been the victim of eye teasing?/Soup for the Soul How did you respond? Or should I ask, did you even respond? The problem of eve teasing in India has been there since decades but the problem persists because at times the girls do not respond to it giving the ‘douche bags’ the permission to do it again. And the girls are not to be blamed. The stereotype mentality of the Indian society wherein the faults are always pointed about womenfolk and the men are allowed to behave the way they want is completely unjustified. Recent times are witnessing an evolution in the perspective of people. Maybe the time has come when boys and girls will enjoy true equality. We still have a long road to complete. All I can say is if you are a Girl, be safe and take action and if you are a man then act like one, be the Mard.
