A site for all thinkers to discover more positivity from life and grow together!
Once, I thought I was lost in the dark.
Stumbling through the thick air of nothingness;
I would fall, again and again.
Never able to find the light, I was trapped.
My thoughts became monsters, hunting me down.
It took some time for me to realize
I wasn’t lost in the darkness, as I had imagined for so long.
I was the dark, simply lost within myself.
That was the moment that I not only turned on the light, I became the light.
Here is a speech by Anne Hathaway delivered at the United Nations on International Women’s day advocating the need for gender-neutral paid parental leaves.
Have a nice day! 💐

In Bhagwad Gita, it has been rightly said:Perform your prescribed duty, for action is better than inaction. A man cannot even maintain his physical body without work.
OUR LABOUR CLASS PLAYS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ROLL FOR OUR SOCIETY
RESOLTION OF 1889
A resolution was passed in 1889 by the Marxist International Socialist Congress in which it was decided that the workers should not be made to work for more than eight hours a day. Thereafter, it became an annual feature to celebrate 1stMay as the Labour Day.
In essence, in order that the labour class works conscientiously and to their full potential, it is most significant that their rights are protected to a maximum extent through:
HAPPLY LABOUR DAY
A day most memorable
While we pay glowing tributes to class so respectable
A class which stands apart
For definite contribution to the society at large

Prints on a finger,
are each made unique.
Eye on the trigger,
avoid critique.Live life and let live,
follow inner voice.
Resent or forgive,
each path is a choice.People roam this earth,
in search of purpose,
ignore inner worth,
to scratch the surface.Live life and let live,
try to never judge,
we get what we give,
perceptions can smudge.Release and accept,
dive deeply within.
Try not to expect,
to savor the wins.Live life and let live,
respect distinct ways.
Strain hate with a sieve,
love conquers each day.[…]

Eid al-Fitr also called the “Festival of Breaking the Fast” or Lesser Eid, or simply Eid, is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
It falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar; this does not always fall on the same Gregorian day, as the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on when the new moon is sighted by local religious authorities. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world.
Eid al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to certain traditions, these festivals were initiated in Medina after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca. Anas, a well-known companion of the Islamic prophet, narrated that, when Muhammad arrived in Medina, he found people celebrating two specific days in which they entertained themselves with recreation and…

Cyber crime is on the rise despite all security measures. I think it’s high time to remain alert and moreover educate ourselves on security awareness needs to prevent such mishappening with us. I remember many sms i received in my mobile phone in recent past. Even i have discovered those at my email inbox (and not spam folder) asking for personal details to claim lottery as the 1st,2nd and 3rd winner. Fortunately, i didn’t fall in the greed trap and ignored those. After few days i found similar emails again. On a second thought i realized i should have reported such email as spam rather than ignoring the same to prevent such messages come again. Fortunately, we have better reporting platforms these days compared to older days.
Sometimes cyber criminals use the general information from government to public and financial information from banks to public. They use this information to write fancy messages and email that look genuine. They share the same with a group of people who someway (without their true knowledge) disclosed personal information like phone number and email on unofficial media like some social networking sites. Because of lack of awareness we hardly visit the security settings page on networking sites where we have privacy option available. I think we should try and keep secret the phone number registered with bank accounts. Most of us having dual sim option these days and we can do this. Another measure is registering with DND service to prevent promotional calls and messages.
Despite all these measures, the fraudulent and suspicious behaviour is on the rise. They are successful at times with their tricks to impersonate and gather personal details. Technology is evolving with time and what was my learning a year back may not be relevant today to prevent such crime. From my experience i can guess they are not common men who cause these crimes. They are well educated techies with high tech gadgets. They target common men who are either not or less educated in their area of specialization.
So, for us education and timely awareness is the key. By timely I mean sharpening our learning with time and keeping ourselves updated to server the present purpose.
If you like this post, i would like to hear from you and learn from your personal experience.
Have a great weekend!
What can we achieve?
Let’s think…
Have a nice day! 💐
Mahavir Janma Kalyanak is one of the most important religious festivals in Jainism. It celebrates the birth of Mahavir, the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of present Avasarpiṇī. On the Gregorian calendar, the holiday occurs either in March or April.
According to Jain texts, Mahavir was born on the thirteenth day of the bright half of the moon in the month of Chaitra in the year 599 BCE (Chaitra Sud 13). Most modern historians consider Kundagram (which is today’s Kundalpur in Champaran district of Bihar) as his birthplace. Mahavir was born in a democratic kingdom (Ganarajya), Vajji, where the king was chosen by votes. Vaishali was its capital.
Mahavir was named ‘Vardhaman’, meaning “One who grows”, because of the increased prosperity in the kingdom at the time of his birth. In Vasokund, Mahavir is revered by the villagers. A place called Ahalya bhumi has not been ploughed for hundreds of years…
