Simply Yourself

  Many of us have the orthodox perspective of judging a successful person as a very intellectual person and not the actual reality that has helped him/her gain this achievement. Is ‘intelligence the only key to success’- Well, I don’t think so…. There are multiple factors which help a person prosper in life…. My today’s post is principally concerned with the idea of success and an intention to change the prejudice which rules over the minds of many…. So why getting late, LET’S BEGIN The perception of considering any successful person as intelligent acts as a demotivate thinking for many other aspiring candidates. There are many other aspects to a Successful person’s journey, which are generally neglected by people…. So, I am going to brief you with some of the TOP SECRETS to become a successful person… First of them being the healthy body maintained by them….

In today’s world, Education plays a very significant role in everyone’s life. From basic calculations till undertaking huge projects of designing buildings, education is must and has a very important position which cannot be replaced. But at present, Coronavirus has gripped the entire world. Education is one sector that is incurring massive losses and has been intensely impacted. My today’s discussion is concerned with the 2 forms of education- Physical and Virtual. So why getting late, let’s begin….. Students have always preferred physical classes over virtual classes. One of the major reasons being- studies turn out to be all the more stimulating and engaging. There are well planned lectures with interesting and provocative activities that boosts the concentration of students. On the other hand, virtual classes can become really irritating and boring at times. You just have to sit at one place and keep gazing at the screen kept in front of you. There are absolutely no thought-p

Hiya friends; as it is the 31 st of July… My Historical blogs come to an end and I start with another blogging theme on this website: - ‘A Discussion Blog’. Discussions on various topics contribute as a way of learning and expressing. I have thought to initiate this blog idea on my website to build a platform for discussion on numerous topics related to the spheres of life….

You all must be thinking as to why I am writing about an Afghan king, as my topic is about Indian history…. Well, this blog basically pertains to one of the most fearless and important king of Afghan whose kingdom prospered because of his continuous incursions in India. He is none other than Mahmud of Ghazni. So let me tell you the role India played in the transformation of Ghazni and the personality and nature of rule by their king. Mahmud of Ghazni was the son of Sabukatagin, a very well-known and powerful king of Ghazni. His son Mahmud proved to be a legendary king who transformed Ghazni into a splendid and glorious city and ensured all necessary securities, education and economic stability of his kingdom.                                                        He gained a lot of prominence in his kingdom and was also known for his passion for Art and Literature. He was a patron of learning; hence he always loved to attend gatherings of learnt scholars and poets. Two very famou

As suggested by my blog title, I am going to brief you about the various South Indian kingdoms and the values that I have inherited by their way of rule.               South India, in the historical and ancestral times, was a very prosperous and rich land with unity amongst the people. People lived a satisfied life with all their necessities fulfilled. The kings of South ruled their lands with sovereignty, truthfulness and justice, so that even the less fortunate people would be given their respect and status. They ensured that Equality carries through and everyone is happy and gratified. I found the kings to be of a calm and unperturbed demeanour and they certainly had a profound impact on their subjects. Even at that time, literatures were of huge significance. A Sangam was held thrice at Madurai, wherein poets and authors travelled from faraway lands to share their poems, stories and dramas. Even now, some of their relics are found in South India.   So, the 1 st South India

The Gupta’s era was considered as the Golden age for our country. They were counted as one of the best empires in the world. There many developments in terms of education, research, medical sciences, architecture and trade. The land of India prospered and flourished under this rule. Sri Gupta was the founder of this dynasty. His son Ghatotkacha succeeded him and ruled for a brief period of time, after which, the first important Mauryan ruler ascended the throne. He was none other than the valiant and intrepid Chandragupta I. he ruled over Magadha, one of the major Mahajanapada of that time. His consort was a Lichhavi princess Kumaradevi.                                                                                               Samudragupta, the descendant of Chandragupta I, proved to be a very successful emperor. He fought many battles fearlessly, resulting in his triumph. Many Indian kings revered and admired him deeply and considered him a man of pronounced significance. He wa

The Mauryan Empire marked brilliance in many spheres of life. Great Kings like Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka conquered numerous lands and have taught us some significant lessons of life. There was advancement in governance of provinces. Everyone had the liberty to put forth their opinions and advice. People had the freedom of Expression and hence, the land prospered. Edicts of the rule of the 3 main kings, who shaped this dynasty, influenced many to mend their ways. Chandragupta Maurya- The first Mauryan Emperor; built the foundation for this empire to flourish and for his descendants to understand the responsibilities a ruler has for his subjects and kingdom. It is often said that he belonged to the ‘Land of Peacocks’, which is why, he is called Maurya. Chandragupta defeated the last Nanda ruler Dhananda to conquer his land of Pataliputra, which later, Chandragupta made his capital city. He was assisted in doing so by the great philosopher, teacher, economist, advisor and jurist

The Indus valley Civilisation also called the Harappan Civilisation is one of the Greatest City civilisations in the world. It has marked a transition from the usage of stone tools to usage of bronze tools, justifying its name of the First Bronze Civilisation. All of us wonder why Indus Valley Civilisation is also called the Harappan civilisation. Well, it is pretty easy. The first city of this civilisation that was excavated is Harappa, hence; also called the Harappan Civilisation. Indus valley civilisation has an area of 1.3 million sq.km, greater than that of Mesopotamian or Egyptian Civilisations. This has earned it the title of the largest and the most widespread civilisation in the world. Indus Valley Civilisation had many huge settlements and buildings. The Citadel and Lower town were the two parts of the Indus Valley. Citadel was a raised platform surrounded by massive walls. The Granary and Great Bath are 2 major structures that were made on the Citadel. Granary was bu

The Neolithic Period was a transition from an unstable lifestyle to a settled community. It was a very major revolution also termed as the Agricultural Revolution. The people began understanding the way to fulfil and satisfy their needs. This led to a very impactful growth in the agricultural sector. Hunter-gatherers lessened the killing of animals and began devoting their time to Agricultural practices. They invented various sophisticated tools such as scrapers, blades, ploughs, hammers etc. Mainly, they cultivated wheat, barley and lentils. Along with farming, people also started rearing cattle, sheep and goat. They also domesticated various tame animals. There are evidences of dogs being buried with their owners in graves at Burzahom. Around 5000 B.C, Pottery, Weaving and Transportation of goods became popular activities in which people could engage and earn a good living. Conch shells, Lapiz Lazuli and turquoise beads were found around 4000 B.C, as an evidence of these occu

India is a land of vivid history and great heritage. Ancient India was a blend of innumerable conquests of different kings, the capture of various provinces, the enslavement of the lower castes and many major developments as well. The word India came from the Greek Word ‘Indoi’ which means the people who lived near river Indus. Once India had joined Asia and Himalayas had risen, the land resembled a lot to the place where we currently live. Archaeologists have enabled us to enhance our history by excavating the various remains of our past. The early humans were not as intelligent as we are now. They did not have a particular language through which they could communicate. They could not write or maintain records. Nevertheless, they had created the foundation for us to build upon today. The  first  evidence of the Stone Age culture in  India  surfaced in Karnataka as  early  as in 1842 when Dr. Primrose  discovered  polished stone knives and arrow heads  The earliest people a

Family - the ones without whom we are incomplete , the ones whom we can blindly rely on , whom we trust to empathise with us in our darkest of times and enjoy with us in our brightest of moments .   They are the greatest gift God could ever bestow upon someone. They are the ones who are always there to understand our thoughts and what matter is concerning us . They always have a solution to each of our problem. They are just like God’s messengers who are there to make life magnificent and glorious for us. They have always prayed for our well-being . They are our genuine well-wishers . Whenever we make a mistake, they are the first ones to correct us and make us realise the intensity of our mistake and the harm it could have caused. We are always shown the right path in life by our family. The endless love which they shower on us is unmatched . It is a remarkable and splendid gift of life. They make each one of our moment special. They can cross all boundaries and compro

This unprecedented situation has gripped the whole world. However, it has certainly made us learn some great values of importance , even in this darkest hour of life . We all are finding ways to make the best use of this time to shape ourselves into a better person . Today.... I will be mentioning 5 helpful ways to spend your time efficiently . 1.      Unleash Your Talent : Each one of us is extraordinary . We have a special talent that waits for us to unearth it. During this time, we must work on pursuing our interest and then wonders will follow !! We must believe in our self and work hard to attain our aspiration. 2.      Share Your experience of Being a Bookworm : Reading books of all genres is a very uplifting and motivational experience . We learn a lot about this world by sitting in just one corner of our house , with a book tucked under our bed-spread. Along with reading books, we must also spare sometime for studying . It will help us to cope up with our s

Being a Perfectionist is not an art, but the result of determination to become one. No one in this world is born perfect. We all long to be perfect. What does this mean? Does it mean that we should have all good-qualities in our self or, we have a scope of improvement in making a better version of our self? Well, people will mostly go with the first point. But I agree with the second. None of us can be perfect. If there is a possibility of progression at all times, then we may want to do better and we will not remain happy with what we are. We will want to enhance our flaws and not let them take the better of us . We must always work to revamp our weaknesses so that they turn out to be our strong points . We should always be concerned about our short-comings and work on them from an early age. Otherwise, they may aggravate and cause many other problems. As children, we must infuse good qualities in our self from a premature time and pursue fields we have an interest

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together!  These lessons that I am mentioning are just the steps of a perfect and incredible ladder of life. KINDNESS:- Being rude is an invisible weapon that can cause deeper wounds than any other weapon. Hence, all of us must treat everybody around us compassionately . The reason is, being polite towards someone can open up their minds and melt their hearts . PATIENCE:- The fruit of being patient is always juicy . One shall never be restless to do some task. Every work that we have been assigned must be completed calmly . One thing that I surely guarantee you is, once you invest in patience , the returns will always be more. THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS:- All of us have a perception of all things around us. It is our mind that opens our way of looking at things. Though each one of us has a different opinion about one same thing, there is one thing that we must definitely seek . That value is being positive . O

Why has the worldwide Obesity count tripled since 1975 ? Was it because of the healthy lifestyle the people led in those times and the extra care and precautions they took for their body? Why has obesity become the fifth leading risk for global deaths in the world? All of us have these questions in our mind which we want to get an answer to.       Developing obesity is a very simple task in today’s world. The sedentary lifestyle we lead, the lack of exercise we do and the food which we consume. All of them are major factors that affect our mental and physical health. Nowadays, every sector is growing virtually, which has increased the possibility of becoming obese . The reason is, we have to devout all our time on-screen and have to continuously sit at one place. This may lead to weight gain , which, if not controlled, can lead to Obesity. People often  neglect the poor way of lifestyle they lead and do not comprehend the significance of exercising regularly. These days, ch

Books are treasure chests of knowledge and wisdom . They can teach you many lessons which life may not be able to. Books are of different types: some that transport us to a world of fantasy or some that inspire us . I am sure reading a book is a favourite past-time of many. Curling under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate is the best environment to enjoy reading a book. Books help us to explore the entire world in no time!! The vivid language used by authors and the way they express their feelings is commendable. It is really touching . Reading stories is an experience that can teach us many moral values . Many mythological books have been written in the prehistoric time by incredible authors. Ramayana and Mahabharata are few of them. Folktales like Panchatantra and Jataka tales are a set of many fables. Each one of them has a deep logic which the reader has to interpret. Children usually like to read such books. The reason is, these books are written in a simpl

Being satisfied with what we have is the best part of life because we stop worrying about what is next in the list. All of us should be grateful to God for what we have. He has bestowed upon us, all the necessary requirements, important to lead a happy life . Satisfaction also helps in creating a positive environment . Optimistic vibes are essential to have a healthy and calm mind and soul . Discontentment gives rise to Greed . Greed is a human being’s most powerful enemy. It can take away all our happiness and leave us restless and in want for more, eventually, making us distressed . Children too should be content with what they have. They must understand that all their demands cannot be fulfilled and insisting parents to fulfil their unreasonable wishes that children are not satisfied. This may lead to a disturbed and distracted mind , which is not a good sign. But, being satisfied does not mean that we stop working hard . Many students do not work to their fullest poten
