Dogs are humans’ best companion. Beagles are one such breed that can be described briefly in three words - caring, loving and loyal. But did you know?

Many of you might have a beagle as a pet while some might thinking of getting a beagle as one, you have come to the right place.   Are you worried that you already have a beagle and they won’t get along? Well, we can get all your questions answered here that will help you make an informed decision.   Here are some reasons why you need to have a pair of beagles:   1.       Size Beagles are adorable and their size is very compact.

Be Yourself

Being true to yourself is so much easier than trying to be someone else! I feel that the simplicity of life is just being yourself! — Bobby Brown One of the most creative and adventurous journeys any of us can undertake is to learn who we really are and live a life, which is true to our authentic self! I see this as a very high form of art: The art of being yourself! The journey begins when w e  embrace the mindset that says the need to conform is spurious and that it fails to serve us or even those around us. If this mindset sounds familiar, there’s a very good reason for the same. It is because you will have seen it mentioned time and again, whenever you have studied the life or work of any great artist, visionary or thought leader. The thing is some people are different whilst others just try to be that! Read more here

Forgive or Forget - The Dilemma

Forgive and Forget are two different words but they are usually always used together.  You may not have realised but these two words are always used one after the other. Whenever you make a mistake, Arrey maaf kar de yaar (Please forgive me) Chal na, ab bhul jaa sab kuch (Now please forget everything) See, I proved my point there already! There is an old saying - Forgive and Forget! But are you sure you always pertain to it? Well in retrospect I as an individual believe in this concept but it’s quite difficult to follow it ahead somehow.  If there is even one memory that can remind me of an incident that hurt me, that makes it difficult to forget. We do forgive the person related to it, but there is always that memory we cling on too.  Do you know the reason behind this? It is because we are told to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them again. We need to cling on to the memory of that one mistake so that we do not repeat it all over again. Our brain is so complex, yet it doesn’t

Missing the yearly ritual

The anticipated yearly ritual came to a halt this year 😔  The pandemic has been such a turn of events for every person. No one must have anticipated how the year 2020 would take a drastic 360-degree turn but as they say, whatever is supposed to happen will happen. Change is inevitable and we all need to adapt to those changes, even if we do not agree. My mother is Christian by faith, it was a yearly ritual for us to visit The Mount Mary Church in Bandra every 15 th  August. The church is so beautiful and peaceful. This day every year, we would wake up early morning to reach Bandra, hear the mass, be grateful for all that we have, and offer our wishes. I would not go home without taking a seat at Bandra Bandstand. It was the only time where we could enjoy the calm at Bandra as weekdays would not be apt for us. Nonetheless, if time permitted we would even roam around Bandra (for some shopping of course), that could not be missed at any cost. One thing that I realised was that ever

How the tables have turned

Since this onset of the pandemic, the situations around have started to take a turn for the bad. Corona Virus also called COVID - 19 widespread globally made it's way to India in March. The situation for every person has changed drastically. The frontline fighters like our doctors, nurses, medical institutions all went into overdrive mode. These frontline fighters have been fighting this virus since its inception, keeping their duty above all. The numbers have spiked out of control in India, reading those numbers daily gives such a shock. From being just 5K cases it is now up to 32K active cases throughout India. Some people are still adamant this virus won't harm them, but do you know anything about the virus? The information we have is what we read over the internet, but by far how much does anyone know about the virus? There were so many uncertainties - lockdown situation, rules regarding them, and travel being suspended being a few. So many people across India have l

Happiness Program 2020 During Quarantine

I have been part of an Online Happiness Program 2020 during this quarantine recommended by a friend. When the course was about to kick off, I actually was not sure if I could have actually gone through with it. I have done yoga a few years back but I really wanted to give another chance to bring down all the negativity and stress that comes with this unprecedented quarantine. The course may be virtual, but it does affect anyone who does take this course. Some of the takebacks from the program that I have received: Breathing techniques to calm and relax the mind Focus my energy towards the positive side of life Secret keys to better myself Getting deep sleep Boosting the immune system I am really thankful to get this opportunity to be a part of this program. To know more about this course, you can follow Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and The Art of Living on all social media platforms.

Mental Health - Not a Taboo

Image created by Panda Design Lab Overthinking | Anxiety | Depression These three words are dealt like a demon in this society. No one ever talks about it, but at some stage of your life, everyone has faced. It is human nature to ponder over a situation that didn't go as planned, over some kind of conversation that lingers in the head or it's just the void in your heart, you don't know the existence of. Some people are able to handle situations way better than the others, but those who don't; slip into depression and have anxiety and have no one to talk to. This post is a realisation that everyone fights a silent battle daily, be it any gender but whatever it may be, always try and share it with someone - be it your parents, your best friend or any person you are comfortable one. You don't need to fight all your battles alone.

Morning Thoughts Amid Lockdown

I have woken up early at such a wee time of the day after about a month. I have never felt so refreshed and energised, that's when I decided to jot down my thoughts in this post, so do read it till the end. One of the pros of having this quarantine, it has made me aware of the beauty that's around. The roads that were bustling throughout the day have become silent, also less dust and pollution. All that has made way for trees flourishing, more birds chirping, I could even see more sparrows which had become quite rare around Tardeo. There's always two sides of the same coin, it's all about your perception. It is either you just like to sit and crib about every situation or try to look at the positive side of it and enjoy the present. Check the Instagram post here .
