In the heart of Rajasthan, amidst the vibrant culture and rich traditions, lies a sacred pilgrimage site that beckons devotees seeking spiritual solace - Khatushyamji. Let's embark on a journey to unravel the significance of Khatushyamji Darshan. The Legend of Khatushyamji: Khatushyamji, also known as Shyam Baba, is a revered deity worshipped by millions. The legend dates back to the Mahabharata era, where Barbarika, a grandson of Bhishma Pitamah, played a pivotal role. Barbarika had a unique power - he could witness the entire battle by fixing three arrows. However, before joining the war, Lord Krishna tested his devotion. Impressed, Krishna blessed him with a boon to be worshipped in Kaliyuga under the name Shyam. The Sacred Temple: Nestled in the Sikar district of Rajasthan, the Khatushyamji Temple is a marvel of Rajasthani architecture. Its distinctive red and white structure captivates visitors, and the vibrant atmosphere adds to the spiritual experience. Pilgrims flock to see...

I stopped sharing my plans — People always want to stay ahead of you, although they won’t tell you. People are jealous by nature. For some reason, people will always find a way to sabotage your plans lest you move faster than them. I stopped sharing my weaknesses — People will use anything to make you stumble so they can laugh at you when you fall, and then mourn you when they see you dying. People will use your weaknesses against you when given the chance. I stopped revealing my next big move — People are always tracking your next move so they can reach there before you. Always move in silence and shock people with your results. I stopped revealing my secrets — Even to my best friends. 9 out of your 10 friends that you have are fake. People will use your secrets to tarnish your image. I stopped sharing my failures with people — People will always bring up your past failures to sabotage your positivity and mindset. I stopped sharing my family secrets — When it comes to family, this is ...

The one who talk bad about others in front of you, then do not expect he will leave you. For sure, guaranteed. We do live in a hypocrite world. Our own close relatives bhua, tai, mama, mami, masi, cousins etc  when never leaves you then what to expect from others.  What we can do? Make distance, talk if necessary. Leave them alone. They do not deserve us. 😉

Sometimes for this reason I feel depressed about it. I want a nurturing and mentor-like figure to look up to. I am an only girl child and a brother. As the youngest among my siblings, I yearned for a big sister, one who could protect me, someone I could look up to and count on to teach me and guide me. What I've learned from that yearning was that it turns out that I have the exact qualities that I was desiring of an elder or younger sibling as a sister. I became that younger "sister" figure I so yearned. I feel so empty for this relation in my life. Although I have cousin sisters but they won't bother as a real sister is. Unfortunately I don't have. I missed the one who can tag me in her happiness or sadness. With whom I can share my feelings and thoughts whole heartedly.

I think to forget the loved ones it’s the opposite for me personally. I will usually write about my feelings about sad event and how it happened. But I feel like it is more difficult to carry on writing from what you were. Especially after my dog oscar died. Although I can not tell you exactly how long it will take, until you have accepted ‘sad event’ from happening and you can talk about it without crying or feeling extremely bad you will begin to feel better. This can be from a few weeks to a few months. To recover faster, you should speak about your feelings, and if you have no one to talk to in person, reach out to the internet. Also, say there was a death of a pet. You can hold a small funeral service or plant/ make a small statue as a memorial for them. Also look at lots of pictures of the both of you together as it can help to remember the past memories. My cute little sweetheart ❤️ RIP

Of all the skills I’ve learned in the past 7 years of changing my life, one skill stands out: Learning to be comfortable with discomfort. If you learn this skill, you can master pretty much anything. You can beat procrastination, start exercising, make your diet healthier, learn a new language, make it through challenges and physically grueling events, explore new things, speak on a stage, let go of all that you know, and become a minimalist. And that’s just the start. Unfortunately, most people avoid discomfort. I mean, they really avoid it — at the first sign of discomfort, they’ll run as fast as possible in the other direction. This is perhaps the biggest limiting factor for most people, and it’s why you can’t change your habits. Think about this: many people don’t eat vegetables because they don’t like the taste. We’re not talking about soul-wrenching pain here, not Guantanamo torture, but a taste that’s just not something you’re used to. And so they eat what they already like, whi...

High cost of living: The cost of living in urban areas of India can be very high. This includes expenses such as housing, transportation, food, education, and healthcare, which can quickly add up and leave little disposable income. Debt: Many Indian families take on significant debt, such as home loans, car loans, and personal loans. High-interest rates and the long-term nature of these loans can make them difficult to pay off and may limit the family's ability to save and invest. Lack of financial planning: Some families may not have a clear financial plan in place, which can make it difficult to manage money effectively. This includes budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt. Family obligations: Many Indian families have a strong tradition of supporting extended family members. This can include providing financial assistance to parents, siblings, and other relatives, which can limit the couple's ability to save and invest for their own future. Lifestyle inflation: As i...

According to one of the legends, Maha Shivratri marks the union of Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati. Tradition suggests that the Lord tied the nuptial knot with his consort on this day. And here, marriage has a more profound meaning. Shiva embodies  Purusha  (mindfulness), while Parvati personifies  Prakriti  (nature). Consciousness and energy's union facilitates creation. Hence the significance. Interestingly, according to another legend, the Linga form of Lord Shiva first came into being on Mahashivratri. The Story behind this is Once Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu once had a heated debate about their superiority. Brahma lauded himself as the greatest, while Vishnu hailed himself as the creator. Meanwhile, Lord Shiva knew that this argument could prove destructive to the Universe, and to restore peace, he emerged as a ray of fire/light. Thereupon, he challenged Brahma and Vishnu to locate the origin and the end of the light. Vishnu trans...

Junior Engineer in Rajasthan government at age of 21 In yellow saree, she is my cousin. And she is just only 21 and cleared the govt exam, and selected as junior engineer post in Rajasthan government. She makes everyone of us so proud. She and her parent’s hardwork pays off. She is only child of her parents. His father means my maternal uncle was very dedicated towards her study and everything from day 1. She always supports her parents and respect their hardwork. She never had a television at her home and not even she demanded at all. She is very much adjustable in every kind of situations. She always bought the things that really needed and matters for her. I mean in the very young age how one could be so mature enough. She did it and proves that if you have ambition and passion for something from day one to achieve something than definitely you will get either sooner or later. Now my Mama will surely buy her a tv.😅🥲Choti si gudiya kab badi or itni samajdaar ho gai pata hi nahi cha...

Trust is most powerful thing. Trust that the future can still be beautiful even if it looks different than what you were expecting. If you have to say goodbye to something or someone, I hope you can trust that in time, you will be fine. Not well, but fine, and by the time, life will be different but still beautiful. You will still be whole. Trust in the process of change. You are allowed to greive what was, while also having hope that just because the beautiful part of past can't be replaced or repeated, that doesn't mean you can't have a beautiful future ahead, that will be meaningful and special in its own way. You might not bond with the new person in the same way you had with someone else. You might not feel the same familiarity in the new city that you feel in your hometown or the last city you left behind, but you can still have a meaningful and adventurous life right here. Trust the process, you can still find connection here in the present moment. Yes, the present m...

Always be the best person you can be. Be kind even when you are tired. Be understanding even when you are angry. Do more than you are asked, and don't ask for anything in return. Don't silently expect anything either. Listen when someone talks,  and really listen too, stop just thinking of how will you reply. Tell people that you love them, and that you appreciate them. Go out of your way to do things for people. Be the greatest person you can possibly be and when you mess up, make up for it in the next moment or minute or day. One thing you should never do? Never spend your time trying to prove anybody that you are great, your action will speak for themselves and we only have limited time on this earth, don't waste it. If someone doesn't see your light, don't worry. Good people are attracted to flame and to light, and they will come. Xoxo 

Couple of days ago, I read an interview of Sudha Murthy ji  Though the article was way too old i.e 2001, but it amazed me to see how progressive her thought process was irrespective of how world portrayed the relationship between DIL and MIL. When she was asked about how she was as mother-in-law, her response was, “You have to ask my son-in-law and daughter-inlaw about that! My latest book "The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk" has been dedicated to Rishi and Lakshmi, my son-in-law and daughter-in-law, respectively. I tell them that they do not have to make any adjustments for us. It is we, the older generation, who should be making the adjustments. Let’s never forget that we’ve had our innings and it’s now time for them to start and open theirs. We should make way for the youngsters instead of expecting them to come around to our ways.”  Pic Source: Google Not only this, she also talked about the law of detachment. “I remain detached in the sense that I do not expect ...

To be honest, Yes. I am a mother of a 2 years old. My world literally changed in a nightmare after he was born. That first month of him birth was terrible for me. As it was winters. This little man used to cry for the whole nights. Fortunately, I had normal delivery, so it was not much physically challenging for me to caress him. Still, I was staying frustrated and kind of experiencing stiches blues. However, things started improving day by day as he grew up. He started smiling at me and my whole world changed once again, this time in a beautiful way. I am so grateful to be a mother now. I just love this feeling and was waiting for those moments when he will call me “mummy” and will reciprocate his love towards me. I am writing this lying next to him. I tell you being a parent is a blessing. No material things of this or any other world can give you such joy. Cheers to Parenthood ✌🏼
