Don't you think we have to learn a lot from kids? Take time and spend a whole day with them, you will definitely understand! This children's day let's learn something from children.<\/p>
1. Patience: Do you know the blocks game? You have to build houses with the blocks! No matter how many time it falls down, they do it again until unless they are satisfied! Can we do that? No. We don't have the patience to repeat things and complete them! Acquire patience! <\/p>
2. To be happy: I'm not saying kids are always happy if they cry they cry for a reason and it's very difficult to understand what's the reason right, but they laugh without any reason! They are just happy and that's how they are healthy! :) Learn to be happy, always! <\/p>
3. Never lose hope\/ work hard\/ believe in yourself: Whenever a kid learns to walk, he\/she falls many times but they get up again and try! And once again did you notice that smile when they walk for the first time?<\/p>
4. Truth: Go and ask a kid how you look, they will tell you the truth without thinking how will feel! That's what people need to learn so that they can get better.<\/p>
5. Love and care: A child's love is infinite! Trust me it is! Once they are comfortable they don't care about gender, tone, height, weight, color, nothing! They just love. Learn to love in the same way you will get back the same! You will take nothing with you except love! <\/p>"}]
I am born and bought up in a typical Brahmin's family and with 19 years of experience, I've come to a conclusion about God. I Would also like to tell that this my personal opinion and not to discriminate anyone or any religion. Since my childhood I've been told to practice many things with respect to God like worshipping daily, fasting, eating non-veg was a sin and much such. I've never thought what was the reason behind it and what are we doing this for! For every question, I asked there was a reason for sure but is that a correct reason? Then why so many religions? Would like to give conclusions for few questions. <\/p>
1. Who is the god? Does he\/she exist? According to me, a god is someone to whom you hold on when you have no one else! What will you do when you have no one else to share your feelings, your problems, your happiness? You imagine someone and believe that they are always there for you and will help you in your difficult situations and that's what god is! Its a believe. <\/p>
2. Then why so many religions? Not everyone likes what you believe right? We have a different kind of people around us and all of them have different beliefs. If I like what he\/she is believing I will do it too and that's how I think different religions formed.<\/p>
3. Then what about Bhagavad-Gita, Quran, and Bible? They are all to make you a better person and to teach positivity so that you can never lose hope! Rather than considering them as books, we started considering them as religions! They convey the same message but in different ways. <\/p>
4. Then why going to temples make a wish come true? I believe that if its meant to happen it will happen! And if you believe in yourself and work hard you will achieve it. If you do nothing and pray God, you think there is any use? I don't think so. So, it's not about the religion, it's about you!<\/p>"}]

Every girl dream big.she thinks to do this, do that and achieve a lot but nothing is materialized because we girls have restrictions.Our society today is driven by our minds, our fear and ego.we are too busy trying to get ahead and make something of ourselves in this world.So why can't you do what you desire to do?<\/p>
The decision to follow your heart may be scary, but in my opinion, this is what life is all about. Where ever you go, go with all your heart, listen to your heart, it's the best journey you can take.\"It's impossible,\" said pride.\"It's risky,\" said experience.\"It's pointless,\" said the reason.\"Give it a try,\" whispered the HEART\".<\/p>
\"Don't think too much otherwise you will be thinking your whole life away.Heart says one thing mind says the other thing then just stop, close your eyes and follow your heart.I assure you, it gives you the way\".<\/p>"}]
As William Shakespeare said, 'A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow'. Becoming friends is easy but understanding them in any situation and being with them lifelong is true friendship.Friends may be either male or female.True friendship doesn't matter in gender. Friendship to me is an unconditional bond between two or more people. It does not require any compulsory commitment in return from the one who is our best friends.<\/p>
Every girl needs a guy best friend to help her laugh when she thinks she'll never smile again. It's not mandatory to have a male friend. If a girl has a male friend society thinks in many different ways but whatever you do don't think about the society. Live in your own way and do whatever you want if your soul agrees on it. In my view, A friendship between a girl and a boy is purer than others. Why I rather have a best guy friend because there's no drama, they protect me, they are a good advisor and they don't hit on the guys I find cute. We develop intriguing feelings amongst ourselves which we love to cherish and do not let it go down.<\/p>
Be independent of yourselves and let the decisions be taken by you not according to the society because if you are going with the society it may redesign your life by which you may not be happy. So I conclude my article by saying that, If a girl talks to a guy and if they hang out that doesn't mean they are in a relationship they may be good friends too. Never let your friends go in vain.<\/p>"}]
For most of us,our life is full of outside influences. We have parents telling us to work hard and find good jobs. We have teachers telling us to study and get good grades. We have society constantly pressuring us to fit into it. And every time we want something different we have got friends looking at us and saying, \"like really\"? <\/p>
With all these voices in our head ,our decisions are heavily influenced that it's impossible to figure out what we truly want. In this process somewhere we are missing ourselves ,we are missing our love to do something we want,we are missing our passion.Passion is without any doubt the secret weapon to make life full of fun,live your dreams and reach your goals. <\/p>
When we are trying to choose a career path,it's important that we follow our passion . When we are passionate to the work we do, the better equipped we'll be to overcome many obstacles that will surely arise in the process of moving up in career and the confidence others see in our eyes is indescribable. That's how essential passion is. <\/p>
Around 75% of people's thoughts are wrong on passion. Why? Because they think passion is enough to get succeeded but it's not. In addition to it we need many other characteristics like ambition,talent,discipline,patience and luck. Every individual has gifts and talents that can make a lasting impact. Use them. Sometimes food and shelter aren't the only things we need. We need happiness too. Bring out the happiness in you by igniting your passion.<\/p>"}]
Friendship! It's such a weird thing ...you just pick a human you've met and you're like \"Yep! I like this one\" and you just do casual and amazing stuffs with them.I'm a person who can make friends easily, so I have a whole bunch of them - schoolmates, neighbours, relatives and many more. I can't imagine my life without them. But there is this one guy who'll always be in the light corner of my heart. His name is Kaustubh, my closest friend. We grew super close in a very small span of time. By nature,Kaustubh is a communicative and outgoing chap and the thing he likes the best is being the centre of attention. He's a foodie more than anything else and takes things easily(and this is not true). <\/p>
He's got a strong sense of responsibility and is someone you can always rely on. Another characteristic he has is that he's known for his sense of humour and is a person with a beautiful smile and heart. He always makes fun of me. I really enjoy it and sometimes I get all serious but I love the way he tries to get me back when I'm mad at him. He has won many prizes and we've participated together in an event called Sowparnika(An event that I'll always cherish). We won the 'Excellent Performance' award for our poster presentation.\n\n I think of my best friend and know that he is the person who will be there for me even when I can't be here for myself, who will cheer me to my greatest heights and who will uplift me when I've fallen down . He will stand up for me and lie down beside me. The way he showers his affection - care and concern towards me is something adorable . <\/p>
\n\nDear Bestie,<\/i><\/p>
\n\nthank you for standing by my side when times got hard, <\/i><\/p>
\n\nthank you for making me laugh when I didn't even want to smile!<\/i><\/p>
\n\n*For me , friendship is the most important thing in the world. I am proud to say that I have such loyal and helpful friend - one in a million.<\/p>"}]
It is my sincere belief that most of my fellow students are preparing not for a life they'll live, but just for credentials, they can attach to their names to attract potential prospects for marriage.<\/p>
Having recently received an interesting opportunity, as a marketing associate for a startup no less, I struck up a conversation with my professor, 'Ma'am, I have this opportunity,' I said, \"It's a fantastic opportunity and I would like your help in recommending me to the principal so he may approve my leave of absence.\"<\/p>
The professor looked like I had spilt hot scalding water all over her, \"No,\" she said, \"This is the time for you to study and get good marks, for even girl's parents are looking for a boy that has a degree at the very least before offering their daughter's hand in marriage.\" <\/p>
Now, before I had the time to register the shock, I found my feet moving on their own and out of the room because it was too much to handle. Not only did this professor disregard my personal choices in the career I was interested in, she also treated both us and my future potential wife as commodities that need to complete a few preliminary requirements before getting married. <\/p>
It was on the backs of this very shock that I met the Human Resources Professional from a company I was interested in and asked him whether I could join the workforce while also simultaneously balancing my academics, and the HR replied, \"You don't really need the degree if you have the skills.\" <\/p>
Then I realised, that by comparing myself to great people, I was limiting myself. I was my own person, my life was in my own hands. <\/p>
Then I realized the sad state of affairs of my fellow peers who are running the rat race to earn degrees only to get married and settle down, not to live their own life to the fullest. Success doesn't always mean having a degree, sometimes success also means doing what you want to do in life, and making money from it. <\/p>
Focus on your passion, and soon because later you might have to compromise in exchange for a life full of compromises. Your life shouldn't be like a marriage, your life should be for you, and the only person you should compromise for is your spouse. Prepare for that kind of marriage, not the one which sees degrees and ties you off with someone you don't even understand. <\/p>
Jobs are, after all, temporary. Skills are forever. <\/p>

This graceful woman took the stage at Phoenix Arena last night, clad in finest silk and decked up in delicate jewelry. The dancer captivated the audiences with intricate Kuchipudi steps and the audience watched, mesmerised. Only, the dancer was a man, in fact, a muslim man dressed as a woman performing a traditional Hindu art form. It was the second day of the Interfaith Week, conducted by Rubaroo, a youth development organization that works on mindset change and inspires leadership for social change with young people. Titled Agaaz-e-Baatcheet<\/i>, the week-long cultural activities aim to trigger a conversation on Interfaith. This performance was perhaps the finest example of interfaith.<\/p>
The dancer was none other than the Kuchipudi expert Haleem Khan, who is an expert in the now-rare form of Kuchipudi known as Rupanu Rupam<\/i> (impersonating the opposite gender) and has performed more than 1000 times in India and abroad. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510639148910","data":"
Talking about his beginnings, he says \u201cWatching classical dance shows on Doordarshan was my first exposure to Kuchipudi. The colors, the graceful movements simply mesmerized me and gave me joy. That was when I decided to be a dancer.\u201d<\/p>
But his journey to reach where he is now hasn\u2019t been smooth. The very first hurdle he faced was at his home. \u201cI didn\u2019t have the guts to tell my parents directly. I dropped subtle hints every now and then that I loved Kuchipudi and I want to learn it. I got a negative reaction from them, citing religion and other things. I was clueless as to what to do and later I found a way. I started going to a lot of classes like typing classes, computer classes, etc and managed to blend the time in between these classes to learn Kuchipudi,\u201d explains Haleem. \u201cI was lucky that I had a guru who didn\u2019t charge much fees; I could pay my guru with just my pocket money and I was happily learning Kuchipudi without my family knowing about it,\u201d he adds.<\/p>
That wasn\u2019t the end of his hurdles as it was very difficult in the initial stages to even find a teacher. \u201cI was 15 years old when I first went to Naga Mohini garu, my first guru. She was initially apprehensive about teaching me because I was 15 years old and classical dance training usually starts when one is a kid. It took me quite some time to convince her to let me learn under her,\u201d says Haleem.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510644169645","data":"5a0a9a4202f86"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510639175094","data":"
He found a teacher and started learning zealously under her, till he started his college. \u201cThis went on till she got married and moved. She then referred me to her guru K V Subrahmaniam garu, who became my second guru and I started learning under him.\u201d<\/p>
After completing his graduation, he moved to Hyderabad to do his MBA and took up a job. All through these years, he was continuously performing at bigger and bigger platforms; without his family knowing about it. He realized that he couldn\u2019t not let his family know with all the attention that he was getting. \u201cI started performing under the name Hari; to make sure my family doesn\u2019t know. I didn\u2019t like it as it was curbing my identity,\u201d he says.<\/p>
Later at one point, he decided that he won\u2019t change his name or hide his identity. \u201cThat is when I actually started yelling out my name,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>
And Haleem is epitome of interfaith, even in his outlook towards dance, as he explains \"For me, my personal beliefs and my perspective towards dance are different. Though I have certain religious beliefs personally, I respect everything else, especially the faith that is associated with my dance form. In this context, it doesn't matter what the religion is, I am blank and I focus only on doing justice to the dance and the lyrics. And I firmly believe that to be able to pursue an art form that is stereotypical of some other faith (as opposed to ones' personal faith), it is very important to respect the other faith equally. I can bring out the meaning and the depth of my art form only if I respect it.\"<\/p>
For the audience there, it was a fascinating experience, as Abhishek says, \"When I was watching him perform, I was just captivated and I could only think of the struggles he must have gone through to learn this dance form. He is an inspiration to many!\"<\/p>"}]
