Did you get what you want?

I hear ya, it’s frustrating when we don’t get what we want or expect. Your first instinct will be to give up or to look at the glass half empty. What I’ve learned is to do just the opposite of the two. Write your goals down – not on a computer, but on paper or in a journal. There’s something that happens when we write something down on a physical piece of paper. You become a creator when you write down your goals. You are acknowledging both to your conscious and subconscious minds that where you are right now is not where you want to be. Your brain then makes this distinction and becomes dissatisfied with the status quo. Remain independent of the good opinion of others and keep yourself fixed on your ability to attract whatever it is that you previously thought was missing in your life. When you trust yourself to decide what is to be your destiny, you don’t allow externals to discourage or influence you. When you stop needing more of everything, more of what yo

Jealousy - excruciatingly uncomfortable!

At its most mild jealousy is considered an instinctual reaction that makes us want to protect what we feel is ours. Unlike simply being protective though, jealous feelings can balloon quickly into destructive behavior and cause us to act in ways that are selfish and controlling. It can even cause us to assume things are happening that are not, like seeing a friendly exchange as the sign of an affair, or working late as hiding a secret addiction.   Psychologists believe jealousy may have evolved as a mechanism to motivate us to maintain the relationships that contribute to our lives and, by extension, our very survival.  Small doses of jealousy can also clue us in to how much we value and appreciate the people in our lives. But while jealousy may be motivated by a positive outcome – like sustaining a valued relationship – it can very easily lead to negative consequences. Thanks to technological connectivity, it’s easier than ever to come up with reasons to feel jealous these day

A hostel is a youngster’s heaven. If I were to use one word to define what living in a hostel feels like, it would be ‘freedom’ – unreserved, utterly blissful freedom. Have you always wanted to run away from the “madness” of home or maybe just want to be on your own and live life the way you wanted to? Well, I was never one of those but living in the hostel has taught me more than I have learnt in the classroom and there are some things only living away from home can teach you. Each and every hostel has a bunch of people who become famous in no time. Everyone loves them and wants to hang out with them. If you want to be one of them, you need to be an ‘extrovert’. Waiting for others to come and talk to you doesn’t work in a hostel! You will begin to see a whole different reason why the dining hall in any hostel is called a ‘mess’. From sloppy bland vegetable to barely-there sweets, the food in the mess will make you crave and even the simple  dal-chawal  of home
