KINDNESS / NO. 21 / 11th MARCH 2024

 All About Kindness

    Dear readers, I shared an Instagram story the other day asking for thoughts on what people would like to read in my next writings. For the next few days, I will be blogging about the topics that each respondent suggested.


    Madhunaya, my junior, asked me to write about kindness. Kindness and the significance of treating one another with kindness have previously been discussed by a lot of people. I didn't know what to write about it. Then it dawned on me: why not discuss the very act of kindness itself?


    To be kind is to simply have consideration for others. Something as simple as smiling can have a profound impact, rather than something grand like making a donation. A random person walking by can suddenly lift your spirits with a lovely, encouraging grin.

    Simple words of encouragement from medical personnel at hospitals have the power to completely transform the lives of patients and their families. Again, it's all about the small things. When you are incredibly nervous before an exam or presentation, it could just be someone telling you that you'll do well.

    While it may seem insignificant to others, the concerned person will value it greatly. I've occasionally seen my mother tell complete strangers that they will succeed in life or, in the case of a hospital, that everything would be fine very soon. Although I'm not sure how she does it, I do know that her words of kindness would mean the world to them.

    That's when I realized how important timing is. Being kind is important, but knowing when to show it is even more crucial. Every day, many people engage in unknown battles. Therefore, it is crucial to treat others with kindness because we will never know what they are going through. However, if you are aware that someone is going through a difficult time, you could brighten their day and support them in a variety of ways through small actions.

 "Its not only about showing kindness, but its about how and when to show it."


Regards,

  Monkey Bars          Hey readers, its been a while and I hope you all are doing good.  It's wonderful to be back and to pen down the ideas that I usually keep to myself.  A few days ago, while I was randomly exploring the internet, I stumbled upon this incredible quote by C.S. Lewis that reads,           “ Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.”     Although the quote is straightforward and easy to understand, what an analogy it is! We often claim that life is not a bed of roses, but how much do we truly understand the effects these difficult situations have on us? Most of the time, we don't.  When we experience anything unpleasant, we often find it difficult to let go of it. We keep going back to the same experiences to keep them fresh in our memories, whether they are related to relationships, health issues, failures, or setbacks.      We don't always know that the act of repeatedl

Bestfriend...      Dear readers,  the other day I requested suggestions on what people would like to read in my next blogs in an Instagram story that I uploaded. I'll be writing about the subjects that each person suggested for the next few days. My bestfriend Jelshiya asked me to talk about my bestfriend (basically about her).       We've known each other for five years and have been best friends for three years. In our first year as undergrads, we got to know one another. Our interests were very similar, and there was an instant connection. Being my best friend means that you must be able to relate to me in all of my phases, even when I don't say anything. To me, she is that person. She doesn't really need any explanation from me. She'll know everything about me just looking at my face.      Being friends demands more than just being there when things are going great. Providing support is essential when everything seems to be falling apart. She was the one who wip

 THE MISUNDERSTOOD CONCEPT OF FEMINISM The concept of feminism is misunderstood most of the times. Its a simple ideology and its just that we often fail to understand it perfectly. We always complicate simple things in life. So let's see what feminism actually is.  FEMINISM:                        It is nothing but EQUALITY. Every individual in the society must be considered equal which often is not. Feminism strives to empower women and in doing so it also makes them realize their rights. It is mostly misunderstood that women are trying to overpower men. The point is not that. Be it a male or a female, both the genders are no less than the other.                         The other day I was scrolling through my social media and something caught my eye. That is when I decided to write this blog. I understood that there were different opinions on this concept. It is alright to have different views unless the whole meaning of the concept doesn't change.    A FEW SUBJECTS WHERE MEN
