A family tradition

by Prasana

In our culture we have a lot of festivals. My favorite festival is Ganesh Chathurthi. Every street (colony) is full of lights and big Ganesh idols. Everybody is participating in pooja and singing songs and taking delicious food that is called prasadams. For the10 days of this festival the streets are busy. After 10 days, that idol is dropped into the lake. In our home also we pray to the God. In my home town I think 100 idols are there. Every year we celebrated this festival. We enjoyed it a lot.

Image
by Ankita My MOM is the reflection of WOW! Because she knows the answers of which, what and how?? Her name is Asha,  Which means "hope," in Hindi "Bhasha."

A time I tried something new

by Ankita A time you started something new . . . this topic is as refreshing as it sounds! Trying something new is as Refreshing as Pink blossoms of spring! The way the spring season brings new life, the same way opening a mind to something new is also a possibility to enjoy newness in our life. Trying something new is as Joyful as a Smile. The way a smile brightens our day, thinking something new brings positivity and feeling of happiness. So, Happiness is a way of trying something new. Trying something new is as Essential as Breathing. The way breathing keeps our cells alive, the same way trying new things rejuvenates our life. So, I feel that trying new things or doing new things is a process of coming out of our comfort zone. It changes our lives and bring joy because it changes our perspective and allows us to see things differently. This allows us to see new possibilities. Now the question comes: how to try new things?? It’s not very easy though, to try new things, because openin...

An unexpected moment

by Priyanka In this busy world, everyone was engaged with their schedules and activities in daily routines and all my family and friends’ timetables and plans were operating smoothly. Suddenly, a few weeks ago, we heard about an outbreak of pandemic disease (covid-19) in this world. We know covid-19 will fundamentally alter the world, but these changes may not be the ones we expect. Life can change in a moment and it is filled with unexpected events. Having to face uncertainty in life can also help us to learn how to adapt, overcome challenges, and increase our resiliency. Pandemics happen when a new virus emerges to infect people and can spread between people sustainably. Because there is little to no pre-existing immunity against the new virus it spreads worldwide. It’s infecting people and spreading easily from person to person. This infects people of all ages. Handling this situation is difficult for each individual in this world. Life is filled with uncertainty, especially at time...
