Purab was on his phone talking to a friend from Germany and had his earphones on. Her aunt had got hurt from the bedpost and fallen on the ground. She yelled at Purab for help but he didn’t listen to her because of earphones. Luckily her son came to the room in search of a ball and saw her lying on the ground. He went to the other room to call Purab for help. Purab after hearing about his aunt rushed to help her. He said sorry, then lifted her and gave her first aid. Later everyone at home got to know about the incident and scolded Purab for being busy on phone and not reaching for help on time. To be honest, in today’s digital world, it has become common to ignore people close to us and pay much attention and time to people on the internet.

Think Before Saying Yes

Image
We speak and listen to many words daily. However insignificant they may appear, they are actually very important and therefore we should speak carefully. Words like ‘yes’ or ‘no’ seem very small but carry much significance. It has the power to hurt or mend hearts. Many times people say yes to others without thinking much, and if they fail to do what they said then they face criticism. It is good to help others but it doesn’t mean that we say yes to their inappropriate things and leave our work and help them.  If you are not comfortable saying ‘yes’ then you need to learn to say ‘no’ sometimes, it doesn’t matter if the person is close to us. Because if you keep saying ‘yes’ despite being uncomfortable it will cause stress to you and affect your mental health. You have the right to say ‘no’ and also don’t always need to make excuses for your ‘no’. You should always set your boundaries. First, evaluate yourself whether you can do that work or not and if you can’t then there isn’t any ...

Do you know what does it mean to be educated?

Image
We all have had the desire to become educated and noble human beings. To fulfill this desire, we enrolled ourselves in schools, colleges, and other institutions. Why? Because we think education can make us better at various things. It enriches our intellectual abilities.  Being educated or learned doesn't only mean you have the ability to read, write and understand stuff. It means you can also apply your acquired knowledge when needed. If you don't have this ability, you cannot consider yourself to be an individual who can lead others and himself for a better future in this fast-paced world.  Remember, your imagination and creativity are two things that make a difference in your life and others. We are humans, not robots, who don't have their own intelligence and only do what they're programmed to do.  Now, if you want to become more skilled at a task you already do, or if your wish is to learn something that's very new to you, you'll have to practice!  For exam...

Most of us love monsoon, don't we? It's windy outside, greenery on trees, and you're at your home sipping the ever so soothing ginger tea. Yes, everything seems great in this season, but there are a few we have to take care of in the monsoon.  People start having some skin and hair related problems that can make us worried. The reason for these problems is (in most cases) fungus. We become susceptible to fungal infections in this season, and you already know the reason for this. Now, let's take a look at how we can combat these problems - In this season, we get rashes and bumps after coming in contact with rainwater.  To stop letting this happen, we should always try to dry ourselves quickly and put on a preferred moisturizer.

This problem makes them feel uncomfortable, which results in frustration.  To get rid of the stickiness, try to exfoliate your sk...

Why should we plant trees around us?

Image
Ok, so you must be aware of the importance of trees around us. Yet, many of you haven't surrounded yourselves with greenery. Many people still do not understand that trees are a part of our lives. As much as we need food and water, we also need trees in our lives to stay healthy and happy.  People cut them, sell them, make furniture and other goods with them for monetary gains. It is so sad that we do not think, even for a second, how cutting and killing trees is as bad and ruthless as killing any other animal. We should know that deforestation leads us to deal with many big issues like - soil erosion, abrupt climate change, less rain, etc. The evidence of their existence is far more ancient than that of us humans. Naturally, this tells us how we are so much dependent on them. They never expect to get anything from us, but we want them all the time. We can safely say that trees are one of the greatest givers in this world. The most significant thing they give us is oxygen by taking...
