Merry Christmas! - Rishona Chopra

Merry Christmas !! I know most of us don't believe in the stories of Santa Claus, but sometimes it's good to play along with it and enjoy the festival!    

A small act of giving could mean everything to a person. Giving not only makes the other person happy but also makes us happy. As said,' make others happy, and you will be satisfied in the same way give and give, and you will feel better. When we give, we shouldn't expect the same from a person. We should give from our hearts.

At Christmas, we receive gifts but have we ever thought that instead of receiving, we should give more and buy things, not for us but others in need. If we can afford it, buying stuff for us when we need them makes sense. There is a tremendous difference between want and need. When we want something, we don't really need them; when we need them, we want to use them properly. So on Christmas, we should give and not take, and we should give it in such a way that we do not mind if the other offers a return gift. So today, On Christmas, let us pass, share and give selflessly!!

Christmas reminds us of beautiful angels with wings and a divine wand in their hands. Wings symbolize the angelic and light stage of the mind, which is experienced through purity and soul-consciousness, and the sacred rod is a symbol of positive blessings we receive from God and then share with each soul in the world!

Christmas is not only about giving but also about love and care. Time and commitment. Let's spend some time with our loved ones on this beautiful festival of joy. If you can see the love between plants and animals, then why do only we humans fall into the trap and ego and anger?

Love is patient; love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. -The Bible

Cloud Formations - Rishona Chopra

The beautiful clouds hover over the sky, 
Some hide behind like they were shy!
Cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus clouds,
There are cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, altostratus,
Altocumulus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus, 

And cumulonimbus clouds.
Some are dark, high and loud!
Others are light and pretty.
Some make the shape of a cute kitty.
Those beautiful clouds I look at,
Few are flat, few are fat!
A miracle in the sky,
They shine proudly, meeting me in the eye!

Life like tangled hair! - Rishona Chopra

When you have tangled hair, you know it but don't want to comb and untangle them, do you? They just keep increasing, and you have to separate them very soon, but this time, it pains quite a lot and becomes pretty tricky for you. It is something similar to our life too.  

There are so often problems in our life we don't want to solve, we feel they are too small to care about, but if we neglect those issues and don't even try to solve them, which could be done in a jiffy, we just don't care about it thinking that it is not worth our attention as it is a small matter.

Like the situation with tangled hair, we neglect the small tangle, which soon creates a bigger problem that is difficult to solve. Minor problems prepare us for significant issues in life. If we can't solve the small ones, how on Earth could we solve the big ones?
