Solo Dates

Sep 16th, 2024
We often visit to mall near our place. From past 6-8 months or so me and my son were observing a thing. Whenever we were waiting for food ordered, we saw people sitting around enjoying their food. Some with family, some with friends. What surprised us was we always saw two or three people eating their food alone. Me and my son always talk about this and one day I decided to go alone in the mall to experience how it feels to eat alone. I had never done this before.

So, I went to the mall shopped alone, bought two t-shirts for my son. It didn’t felt awkward shopping alone because I did it many times before.

Now, I went to the food court which is on third floor of Pacific Mall. I was already feeling shy to eat anything alone. I ordered a drink and finished it in a hurry because it seemed everyone is staring at me only. My experience was not good.

Why people go alone and enjoy food? It hit me hard. I searched on Google and found about Solo Dates.

I know everyone talks about self love, self care nowadays. I also wrote about it, but didn’t know about solo dates. Is it worth it? Let’s find out.

Today we will know more about solo dates.

According to google:

Solo dates is an activity you do by yourself, often to prioritize self care and self discovery. Solo dates can be great way to:
1. Get out of your comfort zone.
2. Increase your confidence.
3. Explore new things.
4. Rebuild relationship with yourself.
5. Feel more independent.
6. Prevent losing individuality in a relationship.
I totally agree with Google on all the above mention points.

Ideas of Solo dates according to google:
1. Take a walk.
2. Go for a drive.
3. Volunteer for a cause.
4. Plan a weekend without gadgets.
5. Get a workout.
6. Watch a movie.
7. Treat yourself a fancy meal.
I again totally agree with all the ideas of google except the last one because I never seen anybody happy eating alone. You can have your meal at home that may be a great idea.

Solo dates are a good way to listen to your souls voice which will help you decide what is good and bad for you. When we are surrounded by people we often come under their influence and take decisions accordingly.

Keep the steering of your life in your hands.

Stay happy stay healthy.

Adult Colouring

Aug 2nd, 2023

Colours makes our life more meaningful, more vibrant, more joyful. Imagine world with no colours or only black and white.

Colour it with your favourite colours. Difference between children colouring and adult colouring is: You teach children to fill Green colour in tree leaves and brown in stem but adults would have seen trees in different colours they can fill their favorite. Be it purple, pink or yellow. Adult colouring is a creative way to again start your journey of colours. I always emphasis on being creative because creation requires thinking and when we think in right direction everything falls at place.

The pattern in adult colouring are very detailed. You have to colour very fine. It makes the brain to focus. I will share my colouring page with you.

You can try adult colouring when you are on digital detox. It soothes mind. Playing with colours is fun.

Things that fascinates vs Things that are really good

Jul 25th, 2022

Amusement Park

City Park

Today is Sunday. All are in relaxing mood, both the images above reflects different ways people spend their holidays, some love adventure, others leisure time. Everyone’s happiness depends upon their lifestyle, their choices, their mood. People often go for shopping in big malls and marts too. Big brands attract their customers with huge discounts, offers, cashback and many such attractive promotional schemes. Amusement parks are great for kids, children it’s a place families love to go. Joyrides , cartoons , goodies , who don’t love them? But you have to pay to enter any amusement park around the world to enjoy all the rides and have fun. And it’s worth your money and time.

Nature lovers are found in city park and a tree don’t ask for money to give you oxygen and shade. Trees are so selfless, isn’t it. It’s calming experience to visit a park. You don’t have to pay anything, instead you enjoy fresh air. Children get fascinated to see amusement park and these amusement parks provide so much fun that one whole day is not enough to enjoy all the rides, watch all the shows. Adults also become child when they see them enjoying and behaving like a child. The child in them appears in front of all. They also enjoy buying merchandise of their favourite cartoon.

Video Games

Above image shows a person is playing video game. Technology have made children to play outdoor games with just their fingers inside their home, as a result they lack physical activity which an outdoor game provide. Video games fascinates children animation based games gives them joy but at cost of their health. How? Besides less physical activities children are prone to eyes strains, low vision due to continuously seeing the screen. Indoor games like UNO is also available online, for that also children choose mobile over physical UNO placards. It’s good to play outdoor/indoor games offline.

Indoor Games

Stop using your gadgets for everything. Choose a sport whichever you like and spare some time for your favourite sport. You will definately feel good. Online world is full of illusions so it’s better to be in real world more. When you will play games you will physically feel how much force to apply to play any sport, the technique. Your whole body will be totally involved in it.

Outdoor Games

Fast food vs Healthy food

Have you heard a mother who rewards his child with an apple for doing good in exams or anything else? No! And imagine will the child be happy to get an apple as reward? Again, no. Fast food fascinates, healthy food doesn’t. You will never see an advertisement for healthy food, fruits and vegetables. No, they don’t need any advertisement because their nutrient value makes them valuable. They don’t need attractive, colourful packing. Isn’t it? Mindful eating is the Mantra for healthy lifestyle. More quickly you switch to healthy lifestyle, more good you will see in your overall health graph.

When we explore places, things on our own we learn and grow. It’s not necessary to find all the answers online. I came to know about an app which plant a tree on your behalf, if you stay offline for 30 minutes continuosly the plants growth will decrease if you touch your mobile before a set time and increases with more time you stay offline, how innovative and encouraging. What if we stay offline more and the app makers plant a tree in real on behalf of us. Incredible! On one hand we are staying offline more and obviously be more creative and productive. On the other hand we are helping environment. Wow ! What an idea!

Fascinating app and great too. Do find such stuff online if you really love your home, EARTH.

World economies are in recession

May 10th, 2022

World of happiness not only talk about feelings, thoughts, interesting life experience but also have a practical outlook towards life. To share things with readers which may affect their life and how all can react to a particular situation after getting the knowledge.

Today I was watching a vlog on, world recession and came to know that world economies are already in recession phase. The difference is that some economies of world are growing at low rate and others at high rate. Some countries are becoming more rich others poor. This is all due to COVID. We all have seen problem in demand and supply. Raw material needed to make a product is still being affected due to low supply which makes it more dearer. Some countries import is other countries export. There wasn’t smooth functioning anywhere in the world. International flights were not allowed, every sector in the economy were affected. Salary cuts, closed small businesses, inflation, everything is affecting growth of any economy of the world. Cash flow is not smooth.

COVID has made people think differently the way they used to think before outbreak of pandemic. People spend less on weddings and functions, travel and vacations. According to that vlog we as an investor must invest globally but I don’t think so. According to me if we stick to our own economy, in simple words, if we invest in our own respective countries will boost our respective economies growth The gain will be sustainable.

I am not against global investment. I am only saying that if a Switzerland citizen don’t see any scope in European markets then only he should switch to other economies for investment. The sectors which are most affected should be given relaxation from govt. Last two years have taught all of us that ‘simple living is sustainable’. Health and education is most important aspect of life.

How inflation has affected common man

Recently read an article in newspaper stating how inflation has affected small snacks vendor will make it easy to understand. A small snack vendor due to increase in prices of raw material increase price from INR 10/- to INR 20/- and loose so many customers. The things which he used to buy earlier cost him INR 700/- now cost him INR 1000/- but when he tranfer this increased cost to his customers, he loose many customers, as a result his sales decreased.

Same is the case with big companies, they can’t trasfer their increased cost of manufacturing to customers fearing loosing customers resulting less profits. Operating cost has also increased. The mindset of a customer is, if it’s expensive he will not buy it or buy less.

Remember, stick to the basics spend on basic needs, don’t overspend, save for future, invest in your health and education. The economies which provide free healthcare and education to their citizens are the happiest economies.

We see so many dance competition going on, and celebrities judging them. Children participating in these competition are a treat to watch. Tell me the last time you danced and what was the occassion. Now a days zumba is also very popular, there are many centres providing zumba classes specially for females. It’s dance plus exercise.

Dance as a hobby is good for your overall development. It makes you active. It makes you more positive. It makes you happy. You always feel enthusiastic. There are many dance schools where children are being send by their parents to learn dancing.

Sustainable fashion

Apr 28th, 2022

Climate change should be the most important issue for the whole world. Actions of today will build our future. When it comes to how we can do a positive thing in context of saving environment ‘sustainable fashion’ is considered one of them. Clothes which are good for environment, is talk of the town. Today when we buy clothes, we are more inclined towards fashion and sometimes buy cheap clothes.

The material used to make a dress is most important thing. We are on that stage of climate change that from each and every aspect of life we have to think how to save environment. We have to change the things which we are using to a better option which is environment friendly. Be it clothes, food, utensils. It’s important to behave responsibly and act wisely. The harm done to environment till now is very adverse and we have to adapt all the changes required in our lifestyle very positively to save environment.

Fast fashion is one of the highest polluting industries in the world, aside from oil and gas. By using cheap and dirty fabric, it is causing all kinds of pollution to our environment. The toxic chemicals in these type of fabric also cause negative effect to the planet and threatens our oceans.

Unlike ethical fashion, the term ‘ sustainable fashion’ tends to concentrate more on the environmental aspect of garment production. Fashion is responsible for 10 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and 20 percent global wastewater, and uses more energy than aviation and Shipping sector combined.If the demand for fast fashion continues to grow at its current rate, we could see the total carbon footprint of our clothing reach 26% by 2050!

Sustainable fashion brands create fashion in a way which is most considerate of humanity and the environment, reducing the environmental impact wherever possible. The ultimate goal is to have a system which works without leaving negative footprint. That is why sustainable fashion is good.

Sustainable fashion should be encouraged because it is synonymous with high quality and a superior product. Eco-friendly fabrics are softer, stronger and will last for years. In fact, sustainable clothing guarantees you won’t have to continue buying clothes all the time. Sustainable clothing has many benefits. Some being that it uses less water, it reduces toxic waste, it reduces the amount of pesticides released into the environment, and quality is higher.

Let’s buy clothes which are good for environment and for us also. Stop buying low grade, cheap clothes, say no to fast fashion.
