What if I were a Boy?<\/i><\/p>
maybe I'd be able to do things with my choice.<\/i><\/p>
Well, this doesn't convey that I am not<\/i><\/p>
happy being a girl.<\/i><\/p>
It's just a thought in my head <\/i><\/p>
that randomly twirls,<\/i><\/p>
when I realise how short is a woman's life.<\/i><\/p>
Once a little girl, in no time turns into a wife.<\/i><\/p>
And the dreams she had to pursue,<\/i><\/p>
slowly start fading with a mystical hue.<\/i><\/p>
Falling a prey to these immortal fallacies,<\/i><\/p>
she still strives to live in this harsh reality.<\/i><\/p>
Well this is not an end.<\/i><\/p>
It's just a beginning of a <\/i>Shield-maiden<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/p>"}]
In a pensive mood recently, I was reflecting on how our mindscape is dotted with numerous words, with a few clearly outnumbering the others. One such word that has a dominating presence and there is no denying that is of course \u2013 Perfection. How many times have we as children or students been told to achieve perfect scores, as teenagers the perfect life sans the worldly evil temptations, the perfect sculpted body, as married couples the perfect married life, be the perfect son, father, mother, brother sister, spouse and finally as old parents fit into the role of perfect grandparents, but does the list end there? In fact it doesn\u2019t, every day we discover and add new dimensions to the word perfection. The list is endless as is its\u2019 pursuit.\n\n <\/p>
<\/p>
Sometimes I wonder whether perfection is closely linked to and rhymes best with aspiration, inspiration, perspiration or frustration. While I leave each of you to figure that out for yourselves I wouldn\u2019t be wrong to say that what we all would have in common though ,would be giving in to temptation, the temptation of trying to befriend that elusive word at some time and stage of our lives. <\/p>
\nWhat is ironical probably is that we ourselves are not perfect yet make attempts to point out the vices and faults of the people we interact with, are brutally judgmental and spare no efforts in pointing out their imperfections sometimes even deriving sadistic pleasure in their misery. <\/p>
\nEach one of us is entitled to have our own yardstick to measure and judge what we count as perfect and the attempts that we have made in that direction and our distance from the finish line. I was in deep thought reflecting on my personal accomplishments so far, when suddenly, I was shaken out of my reverie by the sound of loud drum beats, which almost made me spill the coffee from the cup that I held in my hand as I sat perched on my large French window, overlooking the crowded street below. <\/p>
The colorful cloud of festivity loomed large, the air was rife with revelry, crackers and loud drum beats made that once in a while welcome intrusion to the peace and quiet of the surroundings. There was something magical about Ganesh Chaturthi \u2013 The festival of the Elephant God \u2026\u2026 \u201cWait, Hold on what did I say? The Elephant God? but weren\u2019t Gods supposed to be the symbol of perfection how were the masses worshiping a deity that was in fact far removed from perfection , who didn\u2019t look anywhere close to a perfect body, face and figure ? \u2019\u2019 But magically, as I looked down and saw the huge Ganesh idol that was being welcomed with loud drum beats, singing, chanting and dancing, I was enveloped with deep respect, a flash of realization dawned on me which made me realize that there was something truly mesmerizing and heartwarming about Lord Ganesha.\n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1537339150765","data":"
Although we could never come even fractionally close to his godly stature nor have the audacity to debate the myriad reasons and explanations of why he is so loved and revered, but the moment I laid my eyes on his regal, stately idol, I was speechless by his magnificence and splendor and engulfed with a myriad emotions, overwhelmed with feelings and a deep and strong realization. <\/p>
\nI realized that as mere mortals and individuals we could at best seek inspiration from him and accept that in our pursuit of perfection - it wouldn\u2019t necessarily be the perfect figure, the perfect look, the perfect actions that would make us revered and welcome in society, but the attempt in seeking and drawing out the perfection in the imperfect US! <\/p>
For making that perfect attempt to bring out the best in US. \n\nWhat then would be the perfect attempt? In my opinion it could start as the temptation to create a perfect recipe for life by adding equal measures of aspiration, inspiration, perspiration and discarding and ruling out any toppings of frustration. <\/p>
\nFeeling immensely empowered and enriched with this realization, I kept aside my cup of coffee which had gone quite cold by now, folded my hands, bowed my head in gratitude and mouthed the 3 magical words \u2013\u201cGanpati Bappa Morya!\u2019\u2019 and added with a smile - \u201cyour advent into my cluttered imperfect mindscape came as the perfect cleanser and you could not have timed it more perfectly ! \n\n <\/p>"}]
<\/i>A <\/i><\/b>seed which takes a long time to grow into a tree that gives us the shelter from brightly shining sun, has to go through a series of weather changes be it sunny ,breezy etc to grow. In the same way one is said to be grown enough if he has everything experienced but this can be concluded once a person reaches his death bed.How can you say that you are grown enough to your potential?Let me make it very clear that life is all about growing up to be an individual you dream of.So,I would say once you are in a good position means,it is a signal that you have even more chances of going to even higher stage.<\/i><\/p>
If you are a CEO of any company does not matter where the company's position is,it is our prime responsibility to take it to greater heights.So be the torch bearers to start something new or else it is not always necessary to start from the starting itself it's fine if you proceed from where you have stopped and continue to proceed forward keeping a glance on the past ,guarding the present and securing the future of ours.<\/i><\/p>
Finally growth is always hindered by someone as this world is jealous of some or the other person.No one reveals it ,but that that ill feeling is always making a roller coaster ride in all our minds .So don't mind them and make it a point to control your roller coaster thoughts of your mind and do the required things with utmost concentration not minding anyone's bad opinions .I am not saying to not always ignore others but have the right people to give you bad opinions about you as it makes a better impact on us .With these tips,we may grow even further stage by stage taking our own time .Finally when we reach the time to leave this world,you should be satisfied that you have outgrown to become a person everyone would never forget and of course will not blame your good actions for their liability.<\/i><\/p>
BE A PERSON YOU WANT TO BE BUT REMEMBER THAT GROW UP TO A BETTER PERSON AS THE DAYS PROCEED FORWARD TILL YOUR LAST BREATH.<\/p>"}]

Coding is an incredibly empowering skill. <\/b><\/i><\/p>
\n\nCoding is something that is very close to a super natural power. <\/p>
Programmers of today are the wizards of tomorrow. <\/p>
\nWe give certain inputs and write a piece of code that brings out the desired output . No body can help you better than yourself in programming. You can think that, you can learn it by watching videos or attending some tutorials ...that's a myth . You can certainly get assistance in getting familiar to syntax, but building up the logic to the problem is your part of work, which comes through practice. <\/p>
\n To write a code for a problem, we must first understand the different constraints associated with the problem. First start working with least number of inputs possible and try generalizing it .<\/p>
\n\nFor example, if you have to find the average of n numbers , first try writing code for finding average of 2 numbers and check if the output obtained is correct or not . If yes...great! you are moving in the right direction...now generalize it for n numbers .<\/p>
\nThe whole beauty of programming lies in generalizing, keeping in mind all the constrains.\n\n Programming is no different than math\n\n To enhance programming skills , one have to improve their problem solving abilities, which can be obtained by solving many numerical s , mental ability problems etc which will help one to think out of box .<\/p>
Practice is the only solution to coding. <\/p>
\n\nIs it important to learn many programming languages ? <\/p>
\nNo, Language just brings the ease in writing the code , the main theme is all about writing an algorithm that fits the requirement .<\/p>
So programming doesn't mean learning many languages but master 1 language.<\/p>
Today we have the ease to live, it's all because of programming. <\/p>
\nHAPPY CODING!<\/p>"}]
It was around 9 pm when I started looking for share auto to go back home from my office. A person stopped his car and asked me if I wanted any help. I said no and thanked him for his concern. I then started walking and was looking around for an auto. Finally, after 10 minutes I found an auto. I got in and closed my eyes just to relax. <\/p>
Suddenly, the auto stopped. I opened my eyes and found myself alone. The driver was missing. I got out of the auto and started looking for driver. I found no one around. I wasn't familiar with the place too. There were no sign boards for guidance. Upon all these my phone was dead. Ufoo! Why are these situations so dramatic.

When the vehicle was near me, I realized that the man driving the vehicle is the same man who came up to me in the car in the beginning offering help, then came in auto as the driver. And sooner I turned pale. I started running away from that place as fast as possible. To my confirmation of theory I found the same auto in the middle of the road. I continued running without giving a second thought. Soon I see the car that came to me in the beginning. I ran in a different direction and got caught again in the same net. <\/p>

Black Friday is regarded as the day after the holiday of Thanksgiving where it is also called the first day of the Christmas shopping season. It is called so because many people went out for shopping which caused traffic, accidents and violence at few places. <\/p>
The Philadelphia police department coined this team to describe the Mayhem in 1996. \n Coincidentally in those days, the stock market crashed and the Great Depression occurred so all retailers used the term \"BLACK FRIDAY\". <\/p>

The term Black Friday came out of the debate, on which day should Thanks giving shall be celebrated. It was first decided that it should be on the last Thursday of November but the Great depression had come on that day. Fearing about bankruptcy, retailers petitioned and the president Roosevelt gave the fourth Thursday as Thanks giving but this also back fired. Finally, Thanksgiving was kept on the fourth Thursday of November but people started calling in sick for work on the extra day after thanks giving and went shopping. Due to this many people took leaves. Companies and work places decided that this day would be given a paid day off to the workers through which black Friday came into existence <\/p>"}]
Tough and strong are often the adjectives for men. But why? A famous Bollywood dialogue says \u201cMard ko dard nahi hota\u201d, but why? I often heard people say \u201cboys don\u2019t cry\u201d or \u201cwhy do you cry like a girl?\u201d But why? The society wants to make him tough but end up making him stone hearted. They intend to make him strong but end up making him emotionless.We often ignore the fact that boys get hurt too, and there are times they just want to cry tell someone about it, but guess what? \"Men don't cry\" right?<\/p>
I often hear some of my friends say \"All men are the same\". Trust me they are not. Every time someone says why spend so much on your daughter's education I have my father confronting them and defending me, and he is not \"the same\". Every time some random guy creeps me on my social profile and he is not \"the same\". I have my best friend threatening him to leave me alone. I remember this one incident clearly, I was once walking to my home on a deserted road, a man in his late twenties was stalking me but then two guys understood his intentions confronted him, and made sure he did follow me they were not \"the same\". Dear women, not all men are the same.<\/p>
We talk about equality but there are incidents where an innocent guy was framed, publicly shamed, lost his job and respect. Just because a girl posted something on her social media profile. He was judged even before his side of the story was heard. What about right to equality? Dear women, being a women dosen't grant you special rights to destroy someone's life.<\/p>
We talk about equality but then we expect a guy to pay your bills. Dear women, let us split the bill. We are equals after all.<\/p>
Dear women,<\/p>
Not all men are the same. <\/p>
They can't be strong under all circumstances.<\/p>
Let us hear what they have to say too.<\/p>
Let us promote equality.<\/p>
Let us understand this and stand up with them, just like they have been doing for us.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542640407277","data":"5bf2d0b263f1c"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542640407278","data":"5bf2d0cf5bd86"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542640407279","data":"5bf2d0dc861b9"}]
