IMPORTANCE OF DRINKING ADEQUATE WATER

Great tips for better health!

TheTravellothoner's avatarBombay Ficus

We’ve always known that hydration and drinking water is important. But have you ever considered ‘why?’ or just how many important functions water plays a crucial role in?

One of the most important, and easiest things to keep in mind to stay fit and healthy is to have an adequate intake of water. We constantly underestimate, or are not even aware of the benefits and effects it can have, if we just drink an adequate amount of water.

Having said that, there is no measure as to how much water consumption is adequate. It depends on various factors like gender, weight, lifestyle, metabolism, anatomy, etc etc. One can find various measures on different websites saying “x” amount of water should be consumed for “y” amount of weight, or a website which has calculations based on weight and height and maybe considering various other factors. It is important to note that…

COLORS SAY IT ALL

Era's avatarTHE HIDDEN SOUL

This is in response to THURSDAY POETRY COMPETITION by H.R.PHOENIX and the topic for this week is COLORS. 

Being always rebellious in my way 
Questioning every single day 
Why blue for boys 
and pink for girls 
Even colors will argue 
Why gender-specific? 

Whiter your skin tone 
Goes around the world 
More acceptable you become 
Why discriminate
We all are humans 
With red blood I guess

Don't wear black 
Don't wear white 
Unauspicious they proclaim 
But who defines 
The universe we live in 
itself black and white 

So many colors exist 
Beautify our world 
Red, blue, green 
Yellow and orange 
Singing their own melody 
Nature cherish all

Close your eyes 
Absence of light 
Can you feel the pain 
of one who can't see 
Not even realizing 
what dark looks like 

Life or death
Light or dark 
Day or night 
Presence or absence 
Hope or grief 
All colors flash 

Different colors

DON’T FORGET TO SMILE

Don’t Forget To Smile

I like to think that I have learned a lot of things from living my life. It seems my years have been filled with a whole lot of good things with a few really hard things in between. I have had the privilege of knowing a lot of really great people and I’ve enjoyed countless memories with each of them. I have been happily married for quite a few years and I’ve been blessed with several children. I feel pretty good today, but not every day seems to go this well. Some days life is hard, the people I love the most are annoying, and all I want to do is hide myself in a closet and cry. It is on those days that I remember the advice that my mother often gave me growing up. When I was having a bad day she would say, ‘Honey, whatever happens today, don’t forget to smile. Nothing is as bad as it seems.’

I’ve found that piece of advice helpful on countless occasions as I’ve grown. I remember in elementary school feeling like my life had ended because my pet turtle died. I was over his death just a few hours later when my best friend invited me over for a sleepover. Our time was full of smiles and laughter. Or in high school I remember feeling like life couldn’t get much worse when I didn’t get asked to the prom by the guy I really wanted to go with. My mom reminded me to smile and assured me that my life would turn out just fine.

The older I’ve gotten the more I’ve learned to face every day in life with a smile. Good days and bad days alike I try to face knowing that for the most part, life tends to work itself out and return to normal after a little while.

I think the biggest thing that has taught me to live each day with a smile on my face is having children. My kids have helped to renew the sense of wonder and passion that I used to live with. They have helped me to rediscover the possibilities in new challenges and they have helped me to seize moments. They are constantly doing funny things that keeping me laughing and that keep a smile on my face regardless of the stresses of my day.

WILDERNESS

Beautiful lines...

So press the button
And accept God as our Saviour

Do remember;
In your darkest time
You are not alone!!!

Accept the presence of the Lord!

Poet's Lyn Words's avatarWORDSNOW HEART

You are abandoned
And alone in darkness
You heard your footsteps
Walking to the absence of light

You heard yourself crying
Sobbing into tears
Finding for accompany
But no one is there

It's just you in wilderness
Shouting your silence
Longing for someone
But no one is coming

Your eyes is blind
You never seen the majesty
The blanket that prepares on you
To comfort you from wilderness

You are in wilderness
Appreciate it,
It is the season to grow yourself
It is the season to embrace oneself
Poured love and make it grandeur
Through your wilderness
You never alone
It has you to fight for it
To grow with eminence power

Wilderness is to switch on the light
That we need God
It is a buzzer to press on
To accept God
While we are walking on wilderness
He guide us and light up your way

So press the…

इश्क़

Navneet Kumar's avatarThe Horizon

जिस्म से नहीं, होता है जब इश्क़ रूह से
तब वो इश्क़, इश्क़ नहीं, बंधन रूहानी होता है ।

रोता है, जब कोई प्रेमी किसी की याद में
तब वो आँसू, आँसू नहीं, पवित्र मोती होता है ।

कोई ग़ज़लकार तो नहीं इश्क़ फरमाने वाले, पर इश्क़ में
कलम से निकला हर लफ्ज़ एक शायरी होता है ।

सिखा देता है इश्क़, इश्क़ में क्या से क्या कर गुज़रना
हर जाहिल आवारा दिल, इश्क़ में माहिर होता है ।

ज़माने से छुपाते फिरते हैं, अपने इश्क़ को इश्कजादे
पर इश्क़ बिन बताए, आँखों से जग-जाहिर होता है ।

इश्क़ को मिटाने के लिए बहुतेरे दुश्मन पैदा होंगे
पर इस बंधन को सँवारने खातिर खुदा खुद माली होता है ।

मुश्किल राहें अनेक हैं, एक से बढ़कर एक हैं
पर इश्क़ के खेल में, पत्थर भी पानी होता है ॥

MY LORD JAGANNATH

ruchiabhisikta's avatarHalf earth, half sky

O My Lord Jagannath!

No pompous poem of any poet can portray your glory

No thought of any philosopher can explain your mystery

No paintbrush of any painter can sketch your beauty

No frame of any photographer can capture your radiance

No sculpture of any sculptor can duplicate your structure

No curriculum of any university can teach your culture

No perfume of any brand can spread the aroma of your Tulasi* and Chandan*

No dish of any restaurant can copy the flavour of your abadha*

No vehicle of any generation can possess the significance of your chariot

No treasure of any emperor can buy your empire

No place of world can have the smoothness of your sharadhabali*

No obstacle in life can block the path of your devotees

No festival of Odisha can overcome the grandeur of your Rathayatra*

Because

You are the only cure to many ached hearts

शुभ रथयात्रा -सब मनिसा मोर परजा!!

Today is the famous car festival of lord Jagannath!

रथयात्रा

 

 

हम रहते हैं उस देश में, जहाँ देह से परे, हर बात में आध्यात्म होता है।

शंख क्षेत्र पुरुषोत्तम पुरी में, दशावतारों  विष्णु से बुद्ध तक  पूजे जाते है।

इस संदेश के साथ- सब मनिसा मोर परजा …..मेरी प्रजा है सब जन.

अर्द्धनिर्मित श्री जगन्नाथ, सुभद्रा तथा बलराम की काष्ठ मूर्तियाँ में हैं ,

पूर्णता का गूढ़ संदेश –

शरीर रथ का निर्माण होता बुद्धि, चित्त और अहंकार से,

 शरीर, मन से ऊपर आत्मा है, कहता है सांख्य दर्शन.

रथयात्रा संकेत है जीवन यात्रा में  शरीर और आत्मा के मेल का  ।

शरीर में आत्मा को माया संचालित करती है।

जैसे भगवान जगन्नाथ के रथ को लोक-शक्ति चलाती है।

भक्त को उस पथ अौर रथ में भी भगवान  दिखते हैं।

LETTER FOR DEPRESSED MOMENTS

formerwriters's avatarWise & Shine

a photography of a man standing on a tree Photo by Lukas Rodriguez on Pexels.com

My Dear Friend,

You’re in a tough place now, I know. You see no purpose or joy in life right now, I understand. There is a dark cloud following you everywhere and you see nothing but pain and… nothing, you’re right. You wish everything should stop with all costs, and no wonder. Everything seems pointless and you have a strong belief your future will be the same. You question everything, even the reason for your existence. Who would want to live such a miserable life?

In these tough times, I ask you to think about me. Think about the fact it wasn’t always like this. Think that someone somewhere loves you and they think about you every single day. Think about the fact that you’ve been through similar moments in the past and you managed to get through somehow. You’re stronger than you think…

OUR FATHER OUR HERO

Ava Tripathy's avatarAvem

Photo by Tatiana Syrikova from Pexels

Only a father a dad,
But he gives his all,
Not letting us fall,
Making a smooth way,
For his children small.

He struggles for us,
Each and every day,
To support us in everyway,
Pushing his frustrations all away,
He has no complains to say.

Fathers are so important,
It’s true just not a gossip or rife,
They stand with us all our life,
Even through all our problems and strife,
They never use words as knife.

First love first friend,
Everything first is our dad,
At him we sometimes get mad,
He accepts with all patience he had,
Making him gloomy and sad.

These are some lines,
For them I pen,
Only a dad, but best of men,
Without Father no loss no gain,
Every life we will meet again.

To all great dads out there,
It’s time for us to share,

कभी किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ

✒️ निदा फ़ाज़ली

कभी किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता

कहीं ज़मीन कहीं आसमाँ नहीं मिलता

तमाम शहर में ऐसा नहीं ख़ुलूस न हो

जहाँ उमीद हो इस की वहाँ नहीं मिलता

कहाँ चराग़ जलाएँ कहाँ गुलाब रखें

छतें तो मिलती हैं लेकिन मकाँ नहीं मिलता

ये क्या अज़ाब है सब अपने आप में गुम हैं

ज़बाँ मिली है मगर हम-ज़बाँ नहीं मिलता

चराग़ जलते ही बीनाई बुझने लगती है

ख़ुद अपने घर में ही घर का निशाँ नहीं मिलता

Depression is something which can’t be seen in a person.It can only be sensed by talking to a person.You never know what a person is going through.One should always be kind with people.Knowing a person is disturbed and pinching them knowingly can lead to mental trauma.Be humble.Be kind.Be patient with people if they told you they are depressed.Listen to them.Talk to them.Its the only way to save a life from committing suicide.

You’re continually bothered and furious.

Nothing fulfills you for in excess of a couple of moments.

Yelling at individuals is your preferred type of correspondence.

You attempt to keep away from discussions or eye to eye connection with individuals.

Your mouth harms when you grin since you’ve lost the propensity for doing as such.

You have no clue about what you’re doing…
