What is the reason that BJP couldn't touch the magic number of 272?

The elections concluded with much grandeur and the results were awaited with baited breath by all. The toppers looked upon it as achieving All India Rank with record numbers while others saw it as  an opportunity to gain lost ground. It was a very well fought election from the both sides. The voters were offered different kinds of promises. Five years ago it was the slogan of 'Ayega toh Modi hi' which everyone knew that it was the writing on the wall any which ways.

Life is a challenge - take it.

 Hey Everyone,

I was devastated during the end of January this year as I was not able to clear my Level 2 Exams of CFA conducted by the CFA institute in December 2020. I was really heartbroken and I did not know how to face myself in the mirror. I had put in all my efforts but I felt kind of incapacitated when I saw my results. My daughter and husband were sleeping like angels. I had to break this news to my better half but I was falling short of words. The word 'DID NOT PASS' was staring back at me right on my face. Anyway, I gathered all the courage in the world to disclose my results to my husband and my mother. As I gave the news of my 'failure', I clearly remember, I almost felt as though I was reciting the toughest tongue twister in the whole world. They were equally shocked but like always they supported me like all families do. I was Inconsolable and crying like a small child. My little one when she woke up, hugged me and curiously asked "Mommy why are you crying? Did you not find your chocolate?" I almost laughed when she asked this innocently. For the sake of my baby I had  to start smiling and attend  to her. But my husband knew that this was haunting my mind and I was just acting for the sake of my child.

That day he suggested me a movie which I saw on Netflix - Penguin Bloom based on the true story of Sam Bloom starring Naomi Watts. This film is about the life of Sam after she faces a life changing accident where she is partially paralyzed and is unable to do her daily activities due to which she faces a sense of desperation and her family life suffers in turn. She finds herself in a helpless situation and  hates all sympathizers who come to visit her. In the mean time her children find a magpie bird which is hurt and bring it home to nurse it. She initially dislikes it but then develops a bond with it and finds inspiration from the bird. 

This story is about how we should never give up and accept every challenge in life as it presents new opportunities in disguise. We should all accept that life is not simple and if it were simple then none of us would have understood the true meaning of striving. We would have just led our life as it is and never made any attempts to learn anything new. This movie taught me one great lesson, and that is, failing in an exam does not mean end of  the world as there are people to whom great tragedies occur but they never give up and strive to move ahead. So, that day I realized one thing, life is not about passing or failing an exam but how we take the challenges in the true spirit and paint a beautiful picture for ourselves and people around us.

I am waiting to hear from all of you. Please follow me on Koo app and also follow me on the blog.

Love you All,

Namitha

    Very much relatable. It almost reads like a movie script but with a plausible plot. Neither going overboard with emotions which would have made it a tear-jerker nor sermonixing. Good read.

With love, to all parents. Parents are special.

Hi Everyone, This post is close to my heart. My parents and my In - laws are incredibly special to me. When I was a teenager, our school had various clubs and students were free to join whichever club they wanted. The club that I had joined had taken us on a trip to some park and then to an old age home. We were supposed to perform for them and spend time with them on that day. That day still holds good in memory. I can never forget those people who had so many stories to say about how they were thrown out of their homes by their children, and they did not even care to check on their well-being. Some old ladies were single mothers and had worked their entire lives so that they could provide good education, food, clothes, and all other comforts to their children. That day I had come home and hugged my parents and my grandmother and had shared the plight of the old age home with them. I had seen tears rolling down their eyes as well. I will never forget it my entire life. Today I am ...

How to Improve your Memory - Brain Power

 In our speech, sometimes, casually we say, "hey use your brain . " Sometimes, when being forgetful, ask ourselves, "have I forgotten something?"  Brain is a storeroom of memories, powerhouse of intelligence, architect of our creativity, adviser to our body and its movements, analyst of our senses and source of our emotions.  It contains a depository of memories right from our childhood to present and continues to save it all, till the we exist. We study and play as children, work when we are adults, pursue our hobbies, etc. For performing all these tasks, our brain needs to remain sharp and attentive. These abilities of the brain helps us in executing our actions to perfection.   It is necessary for all of us to sharpen our memory power and boost the functioning of our brain. As we age, it doesn't remain as sharp as it used to be in the past. Instead of complaining about old age, start right from your hay days to program your skills. I hope all of you will find...
