Happy women’s Day to all the women around the world. Stay happy and stay safe. Gift yourself, self-care and self-love this women’s day.
On last Saturday, I visited the most awaited fair, WORLD BOOK FAIR, 2023 in New Delhi, India. It was the first day of the fair. The fair is still on, till 5th March 2023. Timings : 11 am to 8 pm IST. Before going there, me and my son both were super excited because we both are fond of books. The fair entry started from 11 am and book lovers like us were rushing towards the entry gate after getting the entry ticket from ticket counter which was in nearby metro station. The price of a ticket was Rs. 20 for adults and Rs. 10 for children.
After buying ticket we also headed towards entry gate where our tickets were scanned and we were allowed to enter the fair. A free shuttle service was provided by the organisers to drop book lovers to nearby book fair hall. We were so amazed to see people’s happiness and enthusiasm for the world book fair in New Delhi. It is organised after three long years, so you can imagine how eager everyone was on the very first day. Book lovers were on time, they were present at the entry gate by 11:30 am.
We entered a hall and saw so much rush on each and every stall. We also went to so many stalls and bought our favourite books. There was a special stall of France as France was the guest country this year. There was cafe inside that stall and we sat there and enjoyed our coffee and snacks. Two artist were drawing something on white board one was playing drums and enjoying music. Books in French language was available in the stall.
Time passed so quickly. We were so happy that we came in fair. It was a great experience. My son visited the very first time and he too enjoyed the fair. We were walking from one stall to another and realise that it’s lunch time now. We went to food court and had some food and again we were ready to explore more stalls. We all buy books online and it’s convenient too but going to a book fair and meeting like minded people is something which can only be experienced by going there. So, if you are in Delhi, do visit the fair it’s worth it and highly recommended place by me.
Books are happiness, read them, explore them. Coffee shops, book shops are my happy place. Which is your happy place?Eager to know.
Imagine you are walking in a park and saw children playing different games, group of people enjoying their leisure time with their friends and sipping tea or coffee. Other fitness freaks like you are doing their brisk walking, running. Group of people have their dance classes going on and you can also register by paying nominal fee. Woo hoo! So much interesting things going on. Does it makes you more motivated, more committed towards doing exercise daily?
If the answer is yes, then visit these kind of happy places more often. You will feel energetic to see others doing work outs or just playing any game, it also keeps you active. Spending time with nature is the most rejuvenating activity. You don’t have to spend a penny to visit a park and you gain so much.
New movie in theater, wanna watch it? What are you waiting for? Just book a ticket and watch your favourite stars on big screen. Here you have to spend some money. But what’s the big deal. For being entertained, it’s worth it. Isn’t it? Everything is slowly and gradually coming to pre-covid levels, be it entertainment industry, or any other business. Everyone is celebrating everywhere in their own way. Happinesseverywhere is good sign.
We are tech savvy generation, for each and every action we do, we have apps in our mobile to make things easy for us. Here comes CHAT GPT, whole world is talking about it. Recently, I saw the Pro’s and Con’s of CHAT GPT on T.V. One of the invitee on T.V. was talking about so many Ill effects of using CHAT GPT, and another invitee said because whole world is using this new technology we also should use it otherwise our country will lag behind. What rubbish reason she had given to use and accept CHAT GPT.
Just because others are on wrong path we also should follow them? Is it right? It’s true we all have different opinions towards same thing. Be it technology or anything else, but we have to portray things in such a manner that we always stay neutral. Let the audience decide what is good or bad for them.
We are bloggers by our own choice, we have our own way and style of saying things. It may or may not be liked, but we still write because when we write if gives us immense pleasure and happiness. It’s a source to please our souls. When readers like our writing we feel more happy. It’s a great platform which bring together the whole world.
We are unique and think differently. We have our own ways to celebrate, to be happy, to pray, to do things at our own pace. We don’t need motivational speakers if we accept ourselves, the way we are, stop chasing people and copy people.
If we think differently, it’s a blessing, it’s our unique self that can see things which others can’t see or imagine. Be happy that you are different.
Money can buy you anything and make you happy too,but for a short span of time. Inner happiness comes from, when you spread happiness in the form of support to your loved ones when they are in need. Always stand by their side no matter what. A caring person in your life is like a diamond, don’t lose that person at any cost. You are more lucky than you think if you have even one single person who genuinely cares for your well being. And if you are blessed than you have whole world stand by your side. Not because you are rich in monetary terms but you are rich by heart.
Money earned is invested to have good returns in future. Likewise, invest in honest and true relationships, friendships, they will never let you down and will give you the happiness you are in search of all the time. They are the pearls to treasure.
We all are blessed in one way or the other, it’s just that we have to find a right path towards happiness . Happiness is priceless, find like-minded people, stay connected to them. Shifting to other city or country doesn’t mean we cannot stay connected to our friends. I have friends who live in other countries and they are still in touch with me. Make new friends and always remember old ones.
People who encourage you to do better, know your flaws and still believe in you are your people. A friend is one who put you on right path, always knows what’s good for you. In this busy world if someone is giving you her time and cares for you, feel blessed.
Relation with family matters too. Be always available for your children, be it son or daughter. The more you invest your time with them you can expect the same from them in future. The bond with your children is most precious one. Their well being is parents responsibility.
I can connect to like-minded people around the world and learn from them too through blogging. It’s a great feeling to be appreciated by others for your work or writing. Great to have you all. We encourage each other and motivate each other by our blogs. Thank you for being part of my life.
Being expressive doesn’t mean to post your feelings on social media. Being expressive means to talk more rather than chat, let your mouth speak than your fingers. Being expressive is being real. No one is perfect in this world. We often want to be perfect to impress others in any and every field,(ways). It’s not bad to be impressive but at cost of losing yourself in the process is not good.
People who are your people will accept you the way you are, you don’t have to impress them. Though all writers are exceptions, they can use their fingers to express what they feel and impress as well as inspire with their writings. We all are connected with each other through WordPress. I find it more informative, more useful, more content enriched. We always encourage each other and read most of the blogs and find ourselves blessed to have a connect with each other through this platform.
We not only express ourselves, but with the way we express things impress others too. Wow! what a blessing writing is. We often get into the trap of looking good thanbeing confident of how we look. Simplicity is very difficult to afford but confident people know how to handle it.
Talented and creative people are seen more inclined towards their talent and creativity than how they dress up. For example, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and his wife, Priscilla Chan. The work what they do automatically impress people around the world. They don’t have to spend huge amount on clothes to impress others.
I have seen people doing charity, distributing free meals, clothes etc. to the needy. They don’t do it to impress but to serve the society and show the world that kindness still win hearts, kindness is above any religion or caste.
So, next time when we see a simple person just don’t see the way he/she is dressed. He/she can be CEO OF ANY ORGANISATION.
Impress by deeds and action, beingkind is greatest expression.
We are heading towards end of year 2022. So, count your blessings and be grateful. Take a jar and make small slips, write what good had happen till now in 2022, one by one in that slip, fold it and put it in the jar. You will find reason to be happy when you see that jar over and over again. Fill your jar of happiness.
You will see there are so many reasons to smile, to be happy. The first reason for all of us is for sure that we are alive despite of deadly outbreak of pandemic. Be thankful, celebrate each day, spread happiness, be kind and humble. I am sure we all have so much to cherish in life than our sorrows. Divert your attention from regrets to blessings. We all are blessed children of God. Focus on people who love you than who just pretend to love you or don’t like you.
It’s well said ‘God’s plan is betterthan our wishes‘. It’s just that we can’t understand his blessings. ‘Every cloud has silverlining‘. It’s just when we divert our focus from clouds to silver lining. Celebrate small achievements, small happiness. This will make life more happy for us and everyday will be celebrated. Celebration means happiness.
When you fill your jar with happiness, don’t just keep it aside, rather, when you have time open a slip a day, one by one. Think about that happy moment, gather all the memories about it. Photographs or write how you feel about your that happy moment. Writing the feeling will make you live it again and your heart will fill with happiness. You will forget about your sadness.
Buy a jar for your loved ones and gift it on any occasion. Tell them to do the same. Christmas and New Year is approaching and festivity is in everyone’s mind. The thought of celebration infuse a spark in our body and soul. We forget everything and plan how to celebrate, what to buy, whom to visit, whom to invite and so on. Get togethers are good for making memories which will stay with you for lifetime.
Coming back to ‘Jar of Happiness’, write your happiest day, your most memorable evening, etc of the year. Hope you will find this activity enjoyable and helpful. Stay happy and healthy.
We shop throughout the year something or the other. But buying in festive season gives more happiness. You will see sales, offers, discounts, cashback everywhere. Online, offline, in markets, in stores, in malls everyone is buying things. Women love shopping and after two long years of COVID they are back to do their favourite thing (shopping). Though everyone do shop online but to shop offline has its own charm.
Offline shopping is time consuming, you have to pay the fare for commuting but it’s worth it. The vibes of festivity can’t be felt buying things online. If you want to feel it then shop offline. Everyone wait with their wishlist to shop in festive season. So, what are you buying this festive season?
My list is also ready with so many small and big things to buy. I am sure your list is also ready too. So what are you waiting for. Decide from where you will buy the stuff of your choice before anyone else do. Because chances are things go out of stock very quickly in festive season. Offline shopping gives you a chance to dig in to the popular food of that place which you miss in online shopping. The rush, lights, decoration in markets and malls makes you stay there for long.
Diwali is approaching after that comes Gurpurab and then Christmas. Time flies in this period of the year. Happiness filled days throughout. After Christmas it will be time to wrap up year 2022. Enjoy shopping, have fun, stay happy and healthy, don’t spend much on junk food. Take the benefit of offers and discounts. Shop online if you don’t have time.
Bring home positivity, happiness, joy, lots of lovely stuff which you want to buy. Thank God everything is normalising slowly but gradually. Though there is sign of economic slow down in 2023 but economies grow when people have positive approach. We have won over COVID together, we will get through economic crisis together too.
