Blogging is therapeutic!

Writing is a healthy hobby as well as a wonderful skill! It helps us to share our thoughts, ideas and views about different things. Magazines were popular in those days. When we were young we used to write letters to our relatives and friends. And by sharing some incidents it helped us to learn, heal, and comfort. Some people have the habit of writing a journal or diary. No matter how interesting or eventful their day was, it was their every day ritual to write down the events of the day. Hence writing was therapeutic!!!

Now we write blogs. People maintain individual websites and add articles on a regular basis or a group of people either discuss or write on a particular subject. Blogging is very useful because we get a lot of information on a certain topic from browsing in the internet. Useful advice regarding particular disease or alternate health remedies are given. Lots of tips, references are given. Wide range of articles from politics to religion, business to education, fables and fantasies are discussed for the knowledge and fun of it. Most of all it's easily accessible by everyone around the world.

Blogging is therapeutic! Because we are able to communicate with people who share similar problems or similar subject matter. Be it yoga, health, children, family, literature, dance, music, etc. And we get to know the sites where we can proceed further to nurture and express our skills and talents. It is very informative and helps us with our doubts regarding any subject. Blogging involves both writing and sharing! And sharing is comforting, especially when it deals with some sorrowful incidents. It contributes a lot to either our physical or mental well being so blogging is therapeutic!

Friendships - Do we have time for them today?

Life is an ocean and we sail in it comfortably with friendship! Friendship is something that is inevitable in our life! However the world may change, friendship will exist. Hence, friends are there for each other at all times.

Friendship is a fine and interesting chapter in everyone's life. As per their age group, even in this modern era, children and adults find time for friendship and spend time together. Our busy lives are consumed by the different activities that our spouses and children participate. Still we look forward to meet our friends to have some fun, share our thoughts and ideas with them.

The only difference is in those days, children played outside with their friends and spent time well in person. And the adults met occasionally. Nowadays, though they are not able to spend so much time in person, they have the advantage of using technology. This generation is more tech savvy that they interact through emails, internet chat, telephones and text messaging to keep in touch. Since the physical presence is also essential, friends take time to meet and go out to movies, beach, sight-seeing, lunch or parties.

Older generation remembers many interesting incidents! But not everyone is able to recollect all the fun. As time goes by, they are so involved in their lives that they forget the nice moments. Whereas today we have camcorders and cell phones to capture those moments and keep them forever as a memento. Whenever we think about our friends, we play the DVDs and recollect the precious moments.

We always find time for friends. When a person is down with a dreaded disease like cancer, his friends rally to his side. They offer support and encouragement by writing or talking to him. They pray for him, raise money for the medical expenses and conduct drives to raise money or to find a organ or marrow donor. We see friends really devoting their time, energy and money to help save their friend's life! Some people travel from distant places to visit and serve them too! Friends from different parts of the world unite to help out their friend. So, its not only we take time to have fun but also to help.

To highlight the value of friendship, here is another example. A couple's only son was in the army for five years. Not only his parents, but many other families who knew him, prayed everyday for his safe return. And by God's grace, he returned home safely.

More than ever, we definitely need and have time for friends now.

Work/Life Balance - Are women born jugglers?

Wow, a wonderful topic to discuss!

We have heard many times people saying : He is born to be a doctor or born to be a teacher! It refers to their in born skills, meaning, apart from being trained as a doctor or teacher, they are very capable by nature in their respective profession. Whereas when we ponder about our topic it is something we need to acquire, strive for balancing our Life with Work efficiently!

There are two important things that help a woman to be well balanced in both Life and Work, namely, the physical and psychological strengths. Nurturing the child from her childhood days with nutritious and healthy food, good values, skills and knowledge, helps her to become strong in both the aspects. And also introducing several activities to the child while growing up and providing the right environment to practice what she has learn't shapes her into an efficient individual who would succeeds both in Life and Work. As we know Practice makes people Perfect!

Thus the child grows into a healthy, strong and complete woman fit for present life challenges. And she is able to perform well in all her different roles as a daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, mother, tutor, driver, friend, co-worker, cook, planner and organizer apart from the position she holds at her work place.

Hence those who are blessed with enough nourishment in both physical and mental/vital aspect are successful! And the others who miss either one of these have to struggle a lot to meet their needs and goals.

Only opportunities, preparations and practice makes anybody an expert juggler! Secondly, not everyone can do it! As some people are physically and mentally (vitally) strong and some others are either physically or mentally strong, so depending on the individual's strength, the ratio of their balance falls in place and hence they are either good jugglers, moderate jugglers, or not.

An added advantage is the growth of fast food, good restaurant and cafeterias in the office campuses which helps them to manage and handle well with their house chores and family matters especially in needful and dire situations. It saves time and helps them to accomplish more in a day.

In my opinion, nobody is born as a good juggler, but they can become one.
