    Image credit:Pixabay.com, free images

    Now that I came to know that most service crews, and other employees receive very low salaries, I appreciate them and their efforts just to earn a living.

    It was so […]

    • Work is worship and worship is God. So anyone who puts effort to earn a living and takes what is due to him or her after a hard days work is to be respected. More so people like those who are just a small part of a very large work force in many countries. I find it sad that their lives or work seldom gets respected. Which is not correct. I do not know what the individuals who possess wealth tend to think so. They act as if they have landed from mars and others who work are all good for nothing.

      This concept called the dignity of labour has to be respected in all countries. Children have to be taught the same too as I find them putting down these workers or speaking about them in a degrading way. This attitude has to be changed during the childhood itself or it would be a problem for them and others whom they would be working with. They learn this from the elders and the elders should be behaving responsibly in the first place.

      • Very well said, Krishna Kumar. You are right, we have to respect them who labour so much to earn a little money and they do the lives of the moneyed ones easier too by offering their services.

        They should be regarded as very important people too because without them, nobody will do the hard work, the manual labor which the rich abhor.

    • I am one of those people who really have a soft heart for these workers especially the old women peddling vegetables on the side of the walkway of the market.

      I can see my sisters and mother in them. That’s why too I don’t haggle with their prices anymore. I take it as it is. It’s my help for them at least.

      Even those service crews, I see to it that I talk kindly to them. When I want something, i really say please then thank you.

      At least that way, they will feel dignity in working.

      Some of the service crews are working students. They work while they study. It’s heartwarming that they finance themselves through college by being service crew of restaurants.

      So, everytime we go to restaurants or fastfood chains we should also say please, thank you and smile at them.

    • Dignity for labor is a good concept. But, it does not mean that the children are targeted for it. The children are supposed to enjoy their childhood and the grown ups are suppose to earn for his family if it warrants so. Their primary concern should be for education only. But, this situation is not prevailing anywhere means there is something wrong went wrong with the policy makers and Administrators and this is continuing without any interruption. We all show sympathy but when it comes to practice we stand somewhere in the corner and watch the situation. Of course, this is changing slowly as there are many N.G.Os which are taking up such situations seriously and working to improve the situation. Even in India also, this is picking up pace. This is enough if we support them of course, with a little bit of caution which should always be there as showing sympathy nowadays has become a SIN.

    Mahesh wrote a new post, Doing one thing at a Time 7 years, 8 months ago

    I have found out that doing one thing at a time, can be easy way to get rid of stress. We have lot of things to worry about in our life. And we assume that by doing so many things we are being busy. In reality […]

    • It is a good thing to do one thing at a time as has been stated in the article. But in today’s time and age it is proving to be a difficult thing to do as many other things also come and seek our attention at that particular moment. If we do not attend to them then we will have to give explanations as to why we could not attend to that work on time as was required. But it is proved that doing one thing at a time is the right approach for our health in the long term.

      What we can do is we can tell people if we are attending to a work we will not be taking something new. This if it is maintained and developed as a habit in the long run will help us. And others will also understand what we are trying to say. As they would have got used to us by now. This is how it works. But there are many things on which we do not have control. That is a different issue to tackle in this case. Thanks for the share.

    • I don’t know if you believe in Karma or not, but all the ups and downs that we are facing right now or in the near future are the fruits of our past deeds. Our destiny is already written and we are witnessing it happening in our lives. We have to accept all that comes round as the will of the almighty and keep on moving.

    Photo of Audrey Hepburn from Pixabay.com free images. Thanks

    It was in the television news last night about a girl (or a lady) who died after undergoing beauty enhancement.

    It was liposuction which involved the […]

    • the lady is too vain.. she has undergone 3 surgeries before that another 3 which caused her death. I feel sorry for her kids, they are too young to lose their mom and the lady is too young to die.

      • Yes, it could be due to vanity. She’s already beautiful, I don’t know why she still wants to look more beautiful! She’s only 29 years old.

    • Beauty lies in our eyes. What is beautiful for one is not so for others. I read about an African lady weighing — more than 500 kg or so — being given treatment in Mumbai , India. Such treatments involve quite an amount of risk and must be resorted to only when it is essentially needed.

      Supposing one weighs 150 Kg plus then also — it is better to reduce food in take and take other form of exercises and not resort to operation like this. May her soul rest in peace

      • Thanks for your reply. Yes, such medical procedure to lessen one’s weight can be done if the person is too much overweight like the lady you mentioned who weighed 500 kg.

        If not, diet and exercise are the best things to do rather than putting life in danger.

    • The news is really a sad one. So young and so pretty. She may have reasons for seeking these enhancement procedures. We will surely never know her reasons for she is not around anymore to answer the question.

      But as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Another thing, inner beauty is much better than the outer beauty.

      But we cannot blame people if they choose this kind of enhancement procedures, like people in the movie industry. They have to invest on their physical appearance, otherwise, they may not have any more projects to do. Even veteran actors and actresses, no matter how good they are, they are requested to do some ‘beautification’ if they want to have projects.

      Whether or not you need these enhancements, check first if your body can endure the procedure you will have to undergo or seek 2nd opinion or ask around for any side effects of the procedure.

    • I was so shocked when I first heard the news on the early morning show news. I really got so interested that when I arrived in the office early, I read the news online.

      Yes, she was so beautiful. In fact, I keep thinking if her nose was also enhanced because it was a very well chiseled nose, that I envied her. he he he

      Anyway, my officemate said that in the news it was said that she’s a single mother. So they said at the office that maybe she needs to beautify herself to catch a rich and handsome father to her child.

      That’s how it is when you have lots of money to spend. She’s a successful businesswoman.

      It is not bad to have an enhancement. I would certainly would like one , to remove my eyebag and flatten my stomach. But I don’t like them to be done through the knife, but rather through laser which is safer. I think they can be done through laser.

      But you are right, natural is beautiful , though if the enhancement will not require surgery then it’s okay.

    • That is true she is so beautiful business lady, actually she was a regular customer to that beauty clinic. That time it was her boobs and butt to be improved, yet the doctors failed to analyze that their patient was asthmatic. That was the reason why along the way of enhancing her, her heart stopped breathing.

      That hospital was on suspension order by the Supreme Court.The doctors are in jail there are two of them all Chinese doctors relatives of the owners. They were not the usual doctors that enhanced her. May she rest i peace.

    • Beauty lies in eyes or somewhere it a different matter.
      It really sucks to here that the young kids lost their young mom.she, in all her eagerness to enhance her beauty met a tragic end.
      The liposuction is taken up unless the doctor makes basic tests. He can not recommend this test for each and everyone. He takes all precaution how much fat one has got in the body and how much is safe to remove. These are the basic things. This is actually a safe method to enhance beauty as the patient will not have to stay in the Hospital after Liposuction. But, it is made a complicated one by the Doctors who fail to take into account the basic precautions meant for the surgery.
      This surgery is preferred by men also sometimes.
      In the year 2013, a person in Hyderabad preferred to reduce his belly fat and preferred this surgery. Everything was done and he returned to his house. But, all of a sudden he developed some complications and was again taken to Hospital and he could not be saved.
      Ladies on account of the nature of their profession prefer to have this surgery for certain profession it is not the inner beauty that is preferred but the personal appearance. The personal appearance without any elementary knowledge, mannerisms, gestures, education etc., will have an edge over inner beauty in certain profession.

    • Death is indeed very cruel but we sometimes bring upon ourselves with the things that we do. I feel sorry for the lady who lost her life doing a procedure that did not go well with her may her soul rest in peace. Sometimes I ask myself is it really worth the pain and time to go through this things? Yes I know we all want to look pretty and up to date in the society but some of the things we have to go through to get nice looking bodies is very disturbing.why can’t women just accept themselves the way they are and avoid so many problems surely. This surgeries that are done in our bodies only bring lots and lots of pain. Yes you will achieve the look that you want but how about the consequences later do you ever think about that? I guess not. You can still get the results you want if you only eat right and exercise more often that way you won’t have to worry much about how you look because you will be looking good. Food make a you look good if you eat it in the right way and the right quantity. Stay healthy and well.

    I have this realization recently about my speculations. I have lived enough life where I have learned that it feels bad when our speculation turns out to be true. And it’s not because we wanted some things to […]

    • It is a observation which I have observed personally and with others known to me too that when they feel for a long time and get the thought whether something which they want to go right, will it go right? Many times it has gone wrong and horribly wrong. I leaves with a sense of helplessness as that is the only word which I find can be used to describe that. It leaves scars in our mind and will continue to haunt us long after the event has taken place.

      Yes it happens. It depends on ones coping mechanism and acceptance levels. One even gets this thought Why does this happen to me? There are only clear questions and more questions but no proper solutions or answers. It is better we leave that thing at that and focus on something worth thinking and can think and get solutions for it with time. But it is a bad situation going through it. It continues for days and months. Thanks for the share.

    • True. You become what you want to become. If you think some bad experience will come it may occur. That is why it is suggested we should always think positive. Perception is what makes us all. good day.

    • The word speculation is totally a misgiving. What should we speculate or why should we speculate, when this has got no specific path or direction to follow.
      I work throughout the day. I know I will be paid Rs.300 per hour for my work. After the completion of the day, I am sure to get Rs.2,400/- (for eight hrs of my work). How can I speculate on that? Why should I speculate on that?
      Speculation leads us towards ruination and makes us greedy which we are not eligible for.
      Similarly, there will be some deduction of Rs.800/- per month from my salary. At that rate, there will be an amount of Rs.9,600 in my Govt., account. There is no place for speculation in that.Speculating something which we do not know makes us DAY DREAMING on everything and everybody knows pretty well the value and significance of life spent upon DAY DREAMING.

    HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE STRONG AND LOVING

    This is the continuation of my article entitled “When does the loving stops?”

    For me these are the phases of a relationship:

    Courtship – Love starts to build […]

    • Thanks!

      Did you join this site na?

    • Very well, very fitting for couples who started a relationship up to the time that both are “retirees!” ha ha ha! I can relate to this! But the success of a relationship really depends on the couple; they should remain loyal to each other through the odds of life. Usually when we are old enough, it is just respect for each other that prevails, which could also be considered as “love” for each other; whichever way it is, it should be, for the relationship to last forever!

      • Very true, indeed!

        Respect is what makes the relationship become solid. Without respect, foundation of a relationship is weak.

    • i have always been very thankful that despite the fights i had with my husband we grow stronger together. we both understand each other’s needs as time passes and now we are being tested by distance…

      • Congratulations!

        At this day and age, it is so hard for a relationship to stay strong. As the saying goes, “it takes two to tango”, so for a relationship to stay strong, two hearts and mind should always go together.

    • After a lot of reading and encountering many serious situations, I have decided not to have any strong and loving relationship. The more I observe and examine the more serious they turn out to be. We get depression and even insomnia. I allow it to continue as it is. Just enjoying nature, moving to a restaurant together, going side by side holding hands together, some respect for each other, some objections, some quarrels, agreements and disagreements etc.,

      • I am happy for you that you have found your happiness just by continuing what you have now. Stay in a situation that will make you happy. Nobody should force you to do things not to your liking.

        Just continue on enjoying life.

    • I love this article. Thank you for writing and sharing it with. As a young person, marriage is a hard subject because there are so few great examples out there. We see marriage as an unhappy union, something to make other people happy rather than the couple themselves. It is an expensive endeavor, for if it does not coast a lot then apparently the love is not real.
      So you points have struck a cord with me as deep down i believe these points.
