What you have told about seniors is very true. I think one of the reason they are not comfortable is that they find too many commands, websites, software, programs and too many service providers providing 101 different options to confuse the already confused individual. While there is a category of people like you who are willing to learn and be with the times by accepting the changes taking place, there will be more than 80 percent of the population in our country who have got used to a system in which they have spent all their life and they suddenly feel left out and see the system is outpacing them by leaps and bounds. Let us take the case of software version or a mobile phone the companies want to make money more than innovations and they want to thrust them on the market to run their respective shops and earn revenue in the process. As people grow and get aged they find it difficult to accept change and would like status quo. Now with economic reforms being thrust into peoples throats in India we are going to see more of these problems coming to the fore. This can be tackled as it is a blessing in disguise. The government has to invest by providing jobs to people in IT sector to teach and enable the rest of India to move forward. If they do this they can provide employment to youth and elders will be digitally educated. Orientation courses have to be conducted on a mass scale. I have written three to four articles about demonetisation and its impacct in the forum in Knowledge is Power Use It Wisely. A good article written by you touching on an important aspect of common mans life especially senior citizens.

You are right when you say upgrades are made just to earn and not to improve the life of anyone. Not many will use those additional features but just get those upgraded gadgets to compete with others.
I have a basic mobile with no internet facility. I prefer my pc for that. The screen is so small and that could be a strain on one’s eyes. And now with digitisation everywhere I may have to change it to a smartphone most unwillingly though.

Felt good about reading the Eurostar. But we cannot see anything as we progress through the journey as it happens to be below the ocean bed. Now for so many years people have been travelling but till date nothing problematic has happened which speaks of the premium put on safety of the passengers. It is a modern technological wonder and if I am not wrong the only one in the world at that. No other project of that sort and magnitude has taken place. Travel to Europe if on individual travel is a different one compared to the groups. Here in the case of individual travel we can buy train tickets which are flexible and costs will be saved if travel is to an interior tourist spot in Europe. Eurail has different trains which offer excellent value for money and a good ambient scenic atmosphere for tourist travel.

I have always preferred conducted tours as everything is taken care of. We get to meet new people and also the tour conductor is with us which makes one feel comfortable.

You have touched upon a very important subject. Yes computers have taken over jobs of secretaries and many others like accountant’s, record keepers, typists, telephone operators and others. This is one of the negative fallout’s of new technology arriving. Computers, tablets, cellphones with I phones have become like calculators today. They have taken away many of the jobs like the one mentioned above. Even the bank ATM is one such product. So is email. Today we find people sending money and gifts or payments and mails through electronic systems due to its many advantages. Now with new economic reforms in India this problem is only going to aggravate. Children in schools have computers but the knowledge is limited to a large extent and they do not want to pursue it till the tenth class as their are no marks for that subject and they do not count in the final tally. They end up like a blank page when they pass tenth class. Then go for computer courses paying huge fees in a volatile market. Many of their years thus get wasted. Educationists have to seriously look into this anomaly and do course correction. To get a good crop of very well computer literate youngsters.
-
Those computer courses teaching how to work on a computer are a waste. I bought those books – Windows for Dummies and picked up from there. A friend of mine guided me and that was it. Today I can do many things on my computer including creating movies and slideshows.

Agree with you on many of the points discussed in the above topic. As parents are the role models it is the responsibility to see that children grow in a emotionally strong and secure bond. The positive vibes among the parents plays a very important role in forming the personality and character of the children. Children first look at their parents and then other elders and senior peers and learn their mannerisms as they keep growing. Parenting is a continuous process and does not stop at any particular age. Parents should stand rock solid with their children as it matters them a lot in times of turmoil and tensions which in turn may affect their personality and behaviour. The suggestions given are useful to any aspiring parent or to anyone interested in the topic as they can communicate this wherever it is needed to be communicated to. Keep up the good work and also visit Knowledge is Power Use It Wisely for articles written by me. Looking forward to more articles from your end as it makes an interesting reading.

wow it is a nice one wish i can receive clear information on the site which this is done

Great. Sticking to just one or two sites is a better idea. Man is not meant to do multitasking as it causes stress and many other issues. I liked your policy about Hub pages and going to follow it. It seems good.

A well researched article about health benefits of fruits especially about egg fruit. Nowadays there is high demand for organic products including fruits as awareness has increased among the people about the negative effects of medication. But people still continue using them as they are used to allopathic medication. I have come across some families which are used to other forms of treatment like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and others. These medicines take time but the remedy is permanent whereas allopathy has instant results but with negative results in the long run. When we buy fruits it is preferable to but fruits which are available in plenty as it is their season. They will be fresh and healthy. I think your garden gives you a regular supply of good fruits all through the year.

I always have bumper crops not knowing what to do with them as there is no market here for our produce. But we enjoy these fruits which get ripe naturally unlike what one gets in shops.

To build an more muscle do you work out everyday or every other day?
-
About this exercise and fitness matter, I have one Question: Is it possible for a mother who just give birth to do any exercise? Or when does a mother do any exercises after giving birth?
As observe to many mother who give birth in our community, the elders always told to them not to do any chores at home or do any exercise or even walking in a long distance. Why is that so?

You are right. Nepal is a great place for tourists. I think it is famous for mountains and peaks.
I would prefer enjoying the beauty of a skyscraper to a high mountain.
We must be very closer to nature when it comes to our mental and physical health. Nature is our best friend. We must try to save and preserve it. -
I prefer mountains 😀 although modernisation is needed to enrich our lifestyle.
-
I’m a nature lover so i really appreciate all the beautiful landscape scenery as well as the fresh air in the rural city, the breath taking views of the mountain, the sun set biding goodbye at the end of the day, the shimmering waters of the ocean, it was really a picture perfect and a sight to behold. I hope somehow i would like to be close to the nature to see its beauty beyond words.
-
It is only after reading posts of users like you that I have realised how beautiful Philippines is. You are lucky to be surrounded by mountains.
-
We shifted from a city to a semi rural town just to be with nature. Here it is peaceful and I have created a lot of greenery around me.

Each country has its charm and highlights. While countries like Nepal are ancient and have lots of pagodas and temples. In the case of Singapore it has developed well after independence. Its main income is shipping industry, tourism, infrastructure to name a few. In the case of Nepal a big part of it is preserved eternally in nature and that adds to the beauty of the place and the people are also the natives who have been living their for centuries unlike Singapore. Two different cities with contrasting styles. If you want peace of mind Nepal is a better place to be at. You seem to have lot of pleasant memories which is good.
-
Nepal is indeed a place a getaway when one wants peace. There is not much development but nature has gift enough to attract tourists. Singapore on the other hand is a well laid out country – also a place where a tourist can enjoy mostly the cleanliness around it.

Absolutely. Being optimistic can relieve our stressful day.
Always think positive to have a good heart, as they say.
Though, it is impossible to be positive when all the people around you are negative thinkers.
It is impossible sometimes to be positive when in your working place, all your co-workers treat you as their competitor.
It is impossible to be positive when you are suffering from deadly illness or you are suffering from a great disaster.
However, it is good to always put in mind that being positive makes everything okay.-
It is possible. Just try and get that book by Norman Vincent Peale. You will get the guidance there. I have seen terminally ill peple having a smile on their face and so on

I would like to second you in this regard. I am impressed by this short but great post written by you. I would like to read it again and again as it is a great source of inspiration for me.
You seem to be perfect in this field. You seem to have an inborn talent in this connection. Waiting anxiously for some more post on the same topic – Motivation.

I am glad you liked this post Thanks. If you can get that book written by Norman Vincent Peale that could help. It helped me.

I have observed this scenario and have seen that same sex siblings are having good relationship in some families whereas in the case of others it is not so and the same happens to be the case in the case of the brothers and sisters too. I feel that parenting the kind of atmosphere and treatment meted out to them and they not feeling left out because of the other all play an important role in this case. I have also observes when these kids grow up many have strong bonds whether it is same sex siblings or be it a boys and girls. The chemistry between the two since the childhood and the behaviour of the elder sibling also have a role. But on the other side, I have seen them ending up in a cold relationship in both the cases due to one reason or the other. It all depends of their peer group, their parents and who they look up to. To be their role models. A very good article with lots of aspects to be thought about and analysed. Look forward to more such articles.
I can relate to this blog about siblings.
Having a sibling is not that happy all the time. There will always a conflict and misunderstanding. Sometimes, it came to a point where siblings will ignore each other. But at the end, siblings will always be siblings. Conflicts cannot be eliminated to everyone because it is what makes a relationship stronger.
My younger sister and I are close with each other. We almost share everything, clothes, foods and even our secrets. But we also come with many conflicts, but we try to resolve it after we get calm.
