Modes of celebrations…Choose yours.

Celebrations are private affairs. While some love to be among their loved ones or a bunch of friends to celebrate an occasion, other may prefer just their family to be around. From Birthdays, anniversaries, festivals, promotions to retirements, there are zillion reasons to celebrate life. We invite near and dear ones to be a part of the happiness blessed to you, only to get it multiplied by sharing it with others. We splurge, indulge and engage ourselves with goodies and eatables to make the occasion exciting and enthralling for everyone attending it.

But have you ever thought of taking it all a step ahead and celebrating with those who crave for happiness to creep into their lives? From old age homes to charity groups serving abandoned children and needy ones, one must always consider them before splurging without limits. Sharing a bit of your happiness with them will not only bring smiles to their faces but also give you unbound contentment of having done something good.

So, next time you are planning to rejoice upon something, take out time for those who are looking forward for a joyful life.  Share with us your thoughts on this and let’s explore more ways to extend smiles to others…

Perils of Urban Living...

Whenever we think of urban life...what comes to our mind is good career, better education, swanky malls, modern facilities, etc. But there is also a flip side of it, where urban lifestyle takes heavy toll on the health. More Urban people suffer from disorders like obesity, increased stress level, depression, etc. than their rural counterparts.

Perils of Urban life are attributed mostly to stressful and longer working hours which results in body burnout, lack of sleep, eating at odd hours (and that too fast food), etc. All this together combine to form a deadly combo for the bad health.
 

So, what’s the solution? It’s easy said than done to adopt means for a healthy life. So here are few tips which one can adopt to be a happy soul while living an urban life:

1. Take small but frequent breaks from work.
2. Never skip breakfast as it’s the most important meal of the day.
3. Try to keep lunch/dinner time fix as far as possible.
4. Spend quality time with family and friends on regular basis.
5. Don’t bring office work to home.
6. Follow simple methods of workouts like using stairs, parking your car slightly away from destination and walk to reach there, etc.
7. And remember, work will always be there. So don’t just work. Play too.
