5 essential tips to be happy!

Happiness is subjective. There will never be an ideal time or perfect scenario where you decide to be happy! For most of our lives, we keep on searching for the right timings to find happiness. We create mental scenarios of ideal time when happiness should "come to us"....after graduation, when i will land up with a good job..that will be perfect happy scenario, or after settling down (the other word for getting married) I will stay happy or when I will have a house/car of my own..those will be perfect times to stay happy!



My friends, coming from experience, i would love to pull you out of this bubble and help you face the realities of life.



THERE IS NO PERFECT TIME TO BE HAPPY! Yes...you read right, there is no perfect time!

The right time is right now! This moment...when you decide to be happy in the middle of chaos, when you decide to smile in the middle of all your problems, when you decide to let go off things that you have hung up to for so many years!



 Problems are constant; life is dynamic, happiness is a choice and life is right now!



In the days when you are just following the day's routine mechanically, just stop yourself and think of how you can find happiness in little things in life. Buy that little girl on the roadside an ice-cream, to those bunch of kids some balloons, pay a visit to your grandparents, take your parents out for dinner, go for unplanned outing with friends...trust me the smiles that you will are priceless! 



All you have to do is inculcate the habit of following these rules in life.



1. Stay in present

Don't plan the future, don't regret the past, everything is here and now. Today and tonight! Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has to come. What is in hand is today, so live your days and make memories with loved ones. Have fun, eat, go out for movies, listen to music, laugh, take pictures, make memories. 


2. Pursue your hobbies

Start a hobby, anything whatever you like! My personal pastime is coloring! Yes... coloring adult color books. It makes me feel like a kid again, and I start to see the world as beautiful! It makes me happy. We all are busy, we all are corporate slaves, we all have bosses and nagging colleagues, but we must take out time for ourselves, for our peace of mind, for our happiness! 


3. Pamper yourself

Pick up your bag and go on a shopping frenzy or get a good spa, a relaxing massage, or a rejunivating swimming session. Anything! Just go out and pamper yourself the way you want to. Feel beautiful!

 4. Give yourself priority

Give yourself the well-deserved importance. Stop pleasing everybody; nobody will give you a certificate on your dying day! In your mind, you should be the most important person. Have your favorites, likes, dislikes, fav food, my kind of music, and go for it. Have it and enjoy.  


5. Stay healthy

Join a gym or a yoga class or Zumba sessions or go for evening walks. Take out time and give your health some attention. 



We all know this, understand its importance, what we lack is the effort to put into doing these things. Life is too short to worry, to have qualms and to get bogged down because of politics at work. Stop yourself and start to live...live again!



At the end of it all....Kal ho na ho!!

Corporate Identity: Self potrayl of an organisation

An organisation carries out thousands of operations, it buys, it sells, it hires and fires employees and  it promotes its products/services using promotional tools. All these operations of the organisation relate wholly or partially to various publics.  No organisation can work in isolation. Companies are dependent on reactions and actions of its customers and consumers. People react and respond towards any organisation according to the way the company is perceived in the market.

Book Review: Dog's Advice

Dog's Advice by Sean Stroud My rating: 4 of 5 stars This children book by Sean Stroud is an ideal read not only for kids but also for adults of all ages. The book is fascinating with pictorial representations and prose form of storytelling. It successfully generates and maintains interest till the end. Dog's Advice, very quietly and humbly makes the reader understand the importance of doing good to others. Something which as adults we all know and teach to our kids, but somehow in our daily lives miss doing it precisely the way it should be done! This 54 pager read very accurately reinforces the power of doing good in our minds, in a straightforward and understandable manner. No complexities, no beating around the bush, just straight to the point! Interest to understand how Kaleb will get on his foot and the identity of the old man is maintained till the last page.
