1.      Meditate/ Visualize

Meditation is the best medicine for every injury, outer or external. Sit in the meditative posture, let your thoughts come and go, be silent, relax and leave onto God. If you can’t, find a silent and conducive place for meditating. Is it still difficult?
No problems- Visualize

Although meditation gives a calm and soothing effect to mind, body and soul and nothing can replace its effects and benefits but if you can’t do it initially, try visualizing. Sit and visualize your dream, your success, your next vacations, anything that gives you ultimate happiness. You can enjoy with your partner, play with a friend, dive into the deepest ocean or sky whatever you love to and want to. This one exercise will refresh and rejuvenate you to the extent; you would not have felt for quite some time. 

2.    Make a List of what you Love to do/ your Passion / your Hobby/ anything that makes you Feel Great

Make a list, so that it is your “Go-to-list” when you are upset, depressed and need happiness.

It can be your hobby- reading/ dancing/ yoga/swimming/ shopping/painting/singing/ listening to music etc.
What? This sounds boring? You knew it?
Ok let me add a few more –
·        Surf for the most beautiful villas, balconies, farm houses and visualize your life there.
·        Surf, read or watch the exotic locations, out there in the world and visualise yourself there.
·      Don’t want to or can’t spend money though you love clothes, because of that budget– rearrange your wardrobe and your accessories. I am sure you will be surprised to discover many things, you had forgotten and are like new to you. What more! You might even bump into an idea of using a particular piece in a particular style that was lying idle in your wardrobe. Shopping accomplished!
·     Try some DIY (Do It Yourself) craft techniques to brighten up your mood, or surf some You tube videos for it.
·        Cook something exotic or you love to eat or drink.
·        Learn something; it’s all the more easier and cheaper now. Thanks to internet.

3.      Read something funny, watch a comedy or talk to people with great sense of humour. It works like a detox.

I still enjoy reading Akbar and Birbal, Tenali Raman, Tinkle etc. to my boys. The book I am reading these days is as humorous as its name “Mrs. Funnybones” by Twinkle Khanna. If you don’t like reading books, watch a comedy movie, show or web series, you will soon fill your room with laughter.

4.   Go and talk to those, who love you and care for you. Stop! Don’t blindly run after things and positions, which you feel will give you happiness. If you deserve them, you will get them.
Love and appreciate what you have - your parents, your partner, your siblings, your friends, relatives and your pets.

5.      Learn to Give - charity, sharing, the act of giving not only brings a smile on a gloomy face but  soothes our soul too, in times of despair. Try once.

Restoring Happiness

Though this blog is all about happiness but all of us experience moments of pain, sadness, worry and sorrow too. The worst moments are those when we suffer with an irreparable loss and land into a world of grief. I can understand and empathise as I have lost my father too and I saw him dying everyday, every moment for about six months in the hospital. But should we close ourselves in a snail shell and live a secluded life (which will lead to despondency, diseases and depression )or should we try to relive, fulfill the dreams of the departed soul and rejoice. The choice is ours. With this, here comes my second story "He is Daddy",which was first published in "Meri Kahani- Nonfiction Anthology of Short Stories". My soul felt nurtured, relieved and healed once I had penned this real life pain followed by miracles of my life. He is Daddy Daddy was an amazing father, full of adventure and enthusiasm, always available for his little girl. His work ...

Helping Pooches

"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Mahatma Gandhi Dogs are man's best friend. Loving and feeding dogs is therapeutic and soothes one's soul.  Moreover, they automatically become the guards of the house. So how do you treat the dogs around you? Some feed almost all the stray dogs around them. Some feed only black stray dogs that too... just Saturdays. Some feed them with the leftovers. Then some love them, feed them, feel them and understand them. This lot notices and tries to provide health care to them. But how many work with such dedication for stray animals? Recently I met a young chap, Mridul, who is involved in rescuing, vaccinating and treating stray dogs and puppies. He came along with a compounder to treat a stray dog who wasn't well in our lane. A neighbour who had been giving shelter to the puppies provided an old sheet to Mridul. He sat with the dog in his lap. Though the dog, Biscuit, named by the children, w...
