By being happy, you can lead life successfully, but every success may or may not impart the happiness. Sometimes it is better to lose rather than to win. Get happiness in giving. One can drive the destiny.\n\nThere was a man who bagged first prize in a marathon race. His craving desire was to reach the summit. Unfortunately, he was not gifted with desired success. His hopes were shattered down to the earth. He questioned God, regretting about his life. The man who earned the second position in the race was stoical. Winning or losing was same who had evenness of the mind. He may lose in running race but he won in the race of life.\n\nWe can get happiness when we are satisfied with what we have. We get success only when we work hard sacrificing everything. It\u2019s better to gain satisfaction with pebbles than peeping into the water for diamonds. <\/p>
A Bird in the hand is worth Two in the bush. <\/p>
<\/p>
ENJOY THE LIFE BY PLAYING, TO DRAW THE CARD OF HAPPINESS. <\/p>
PIN HOPES, PUTTING INCESSANT EFFORTS UNTIL YOU ARE GIFTED WITH THE CARD OF SUCCESS. <\/p>
CLIMB THE STEPS OF HAPPINESS TO REACH SUCCESS. <\/p>
One will get the flavor of success when one reaches the point of achievement. But, one can create happiness at the starting point itself. Ride the rest of your life with happiness. Success will become a puppet in your hands merely watching your game as a spectator. <\/p>
HIJACK YOUR BRAIN TOWARDS THE HAPPINESS TO FIND THE CLUE TO SUCCESS.\n\n\n\n \n\n<\/p>"}]

The festival Makara Sankranti<\/i> is celeberated for 4 days in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Day 1 is Bhogi <\/i>where generally it is a practice to discard old things and burn them, this signifies that one should concentrate on new things in life, Day 2 is Makara Sankranti <\/i>where people buy new clothes and prepare some traditional recipes and decorate their houses with flowers and also rangoli. <\/i>Day 3 is Kanuma<\/i> and day 4 is Mukkanuma. <\/i><\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484294944571","data":"

And Mukkanuma<\/i> is popular among non-vegetarians because they avoid meat for the first 3 days of the festival, hence it is a feast for all of them on the fourth day.

Dear Khaled Hosseni, <\/i><\/p>
To start off, this letter might not be something you\u2019d usually expect. <\/p>
But all along it was your your runner with a kite in his hand, hiding behind the dark alleys that had crowded up my mind.<\/p>
Oh, there is a special reason that I am writing to you, today.\nRunning down the alley of memory<\/i>.\nIt\u2019s been 15 years now.<\/p>
15 years ago, Amir (totally coincidental) and me were like inseparable. Unforgettable memories and brothers by heart.Those were like the best days of my lives. But you know which was one was the best-est?<\/p>
Yeah, there you go. Sankranti<\/i>.\nSeeing the saffron sky, filled with a thousand multi-coloured kites was something so mesmerizing. Our shouts echoing in grounds, and running after the kites that were dropping down was a moment in its own. <\/p>
They say, life is not made up of just a moment. For that one moment to come back again, I was ready to put my whole life down.<\/i> Oh, what happened all these years you may ask?\nHe left. Well \u2018he had to\u2019 was what he said. For further studies. And since then, things started to change. <\/p>
And so here I was, writing this letter to you, listening to the kids run down the dark alley chasing the kite when I heard a knock. This may sound clich\u00e9 but the moment I opened the door, say it was like that moment was back again.\n 15 long years and here he was<\/i>. Like we were back to being 15 year olds. Like every time back then, he used to come and knock at my door. We used to gather our kites and thread rolls and run out. <\/p>
And so, without wasting a moment I gathered my kites, the ones which had been waiting all these years and ran out with him. With smiles on our faces, leaving everything behind we flew our kites in the same ground where our bond had grown and it felt like it had become even more stronger.<\/p>
And so, when Amir asked me if I\u2019d run the kite for him, you know what I said.\n\u201cFor you, a thousand times over\u201d <\/b><\/i>\nAnd with a smile on my face I ran after it. \nYou told me that they would only let me be this happy if they were going to take something from you. And I know, Amir is going to go back.\nAnd like the past clawed its way out today, I know it will someday again tomorrow.<\/p>
Khalid, Thank You.<\/p>
From bringing the Amir to my Hassan back.<\/b><\/i>\n\n\n<\/p>"}]
THE INTROVERT <\/p>
\n\nHave you always felt different? Were you the quiet one in the school? Did people ask you,\"Why don't you talk?\" Do they still ask you the same question, today?<\/p>
\n\nHave you always wanted to be one who loved the confines of one's room, lived in the realms of one's emotions, always wanted to be unseen by anyone, felt the urge to become dust rather than to start a conversation, then probably you are like me: an introvert.<\/p>
\n\nI am an introvert and this is for everybody who feels choked in any kind of social situation with a lot of people because we'd rather be home, sip some hot coffee and read a book or listen to some music than be there. The thought itself brings immense pressure.<\/p>
\n\nThe most difficult situation for anyone like me is surviving a family gathering or an event because it involves many people and curious relatives who want to know everything about you. I personally hate general conversations and small talks, I'd rather want to know you on a deeper level beneath the stars, things like : your deepest fears, your favourite animated characters, what or whom you think about in your ideal time, what makes you anxious and in general all the small things you'd rather hide than ever let out to anyone.<\/p>
\n\nSo, I'd always stand in the corner whilst texting someone or reading articles on Facebook and honestly not giving a damn to the surrounding. While my mom constantly wanted me talk to complete strangers. My nightmare would begin whenever I came across someone I knew, I'd want to hide myself in the walls to avoid interaction. More than often I'd despise myself for being like that,I'd always compare myself with others and would wonder how people could laugh so loudly or talk so much and what do they even talk about, for so long? But every attempt of mine to talk to a complete stranger or an acquaintance would make me regret my decision to do so in the first place, because after a conversation I'd feel so drained out that I needed to spend time alone for hours in solace to feel energised again.<\/p>
\n\nAs time went by, I started accepting myself and started enjoying the way I was because my happiness never depended on someone's existence, I don't feel lonely when I'm with myself and I never needed something or someone to feel whole, I was complete with myself and I realized I was the best confidant I could have ever found. So I took a decision to come out of my comfort zone sometimes because even if I fail I'd always have myself to push me again to try something new.<\/p>
\n\nIt isn't bad to enjoy one's own company after all but I realized talking to people is no harm either, when I made some friends in my 9th grade. In the beginning, it was just smiles and tit bits but I started enjoying spending time with them, I started having fun, going out, doing stuff I only did in my dreams or read in books and I actually started liking it. I found new hobbies and people started liking my company, Now I feel like I'm no longer invisible. But even now after all this, I still like spending time alone to retrace myself every now and then . I still like reading books and thinking about the cosmic energy or the universe in general and how things work the way they do. Conversations and smiling a bit doesn't scare me yet I like to keep a smaller circle.<\/p>
\n\nHot pipping coffee with a good book in my hand on my bed in an empty home is something that I still enjoy the most, though. Being an introvert is not a bane, you've the power that most people don't- a strong connection with your inner self. \n\n<\/p>"}]
Sankranti or Makara Sankranti is one of the important festivals celebrated in India; it is a harvest festival that also marks the beginning of warmer days and it is the only Hindu festival that falls on the same day every year on January 14. Kite festivals, cock fighting, some good recipes and beautiful rangoli are a few conventional ways that you can think off. Living in a metro city we don't really get to celebrate this festival as it is supposed to in the usual traditional ways apart from flying kites; so here are some out of the box ways you can try to make the best of this free time. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547434125455","data":"

let's recall the glory of festival........<\/p>
A festival is best experienced at the heart of all the action. A great example of this is Sankranti. It marks the beginning of the transition of sun into Zodiac of Capricorn(Makar=Capricorn , Sankranti=transition). This makes it the only festival to fall on the same date every year(14th January). It is also symbolic of getting rid of bad vibes of past season and the start of fresh season.It even symbolizes start of new harvesting season.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547382287384","data":"
Symbolizes great relationship.....(son and father)<\/b><\/p>
On this day sun visits the house of his son Shani, who is the swami of Makar Rashi. These father and son do not ordinarily get along nicely, but inspite of any differences between each other Lord Sun makes it a point to meet each other on this day. Father in fact himself comes to his son's house for a month. This day is symbolized the importance of special relationship of father and son.<\/p>

Germany, inarguably the best army on the planet during the early and mid 20th century. But that didn't help the Duetschlanders from becoming invincible through the two ghastly (world) wars that the humanity has ever witnessed.<\/p>
After the first catastrophe(1914-18), Germany who acted as the linchpin to the axis powers(losers) were not easily excused. They were rekked and humiliated. Treaty of Versailles.<\/p>
1. They lost huge territories.<\/p>
2. They were decreed to demilitarise Rhineland(western Germany adjacent to France).<\/p>
3. Abstained from deploying their own Airforce(Luftwaffe).<\/p>
4. Reduce their army to 100,000 men and had to pay perpetual debts.<\/p>
Yes, the Allies were merciless. And talking about mercy, guess who's back! <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486857","data":"
Adolf Hitler<\/b> <\/p>
People lost faith. Government's fragile. Nation's economy kissed Mariana trench. Also, there's a man who still kisses Flagge Deutschlands. Wait. That's Hitler. Soon he became Herr Hitler. When a chauvinistic man, with an eerie mustache said that he can fix everything, people believed. I am always baffled about how he reconciled and stimulated a huge country like Germany. That was the hunger. I watched a movie which goes by the name \"Hitler: The rise of 'evil'\". Rise of 'evil'? All he wanted was to 'make Germany great again'(pun intended). But he went on to become infamous. How?<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486858","data":"
Epitome of Dictatorship (overtly authoritarian)<\/b> <\/p>
Hitler isn't a shagger. Nor has he addictions. Yet his downfall goes down as one of the darkest ever.<\/p>
En route to his illusory glory, Hitler showed the world just how barbaric he was. Be it the hatred towards Jews or his ruthlessness in the war, his aggressive demeanor is highly notorious. He unknowingly allows his personal interests dictate Government's actions. He never trusted his subordinate's judgement in their own sections of expertise. He set up first Luftwaffe squadrons, introduced conscriptions, jazzed up the army, sent the troops back to Rhineland. The allies were bizarrely nonchalant. Reason? Neville Chamberlain.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486859","data":"
His blunders<\/b><\/p>
Now, these are some of the mistakes that, I think, Hitler has committed, and from which, again, I think<\/b>, we can learn. I requisite minimal mastery of modern history.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1547224486861","data":"5c38e80f623df"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486860","data":"
1. Bother about things which 'really' bother you <\/b><\/p>
\nGermany's incursion into Poland was apparently the reason for ww2. The reason for incursion is damn blunt. Well, Hitler didn't like a tiny chunk of Poland intruding into their mainland. He was warned by the Allies not to. But he's Hitler, ain't he?<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486862","data":"
2. Let us see the big picture..<\/b><\/p>
I personally like Winston Churchill's attitude and war tactics. After the amazing dunkirk episode, churchill didn't chill. He instead played mind games with his German counterpart by launching a surprise yet tiny aerial attack in the heart of Berlin. There was no substantial loss. But Hitler was left scalding and he did the same but in a more brutal way to London. That was commonplace for Churchill. He was prepared for the petulant attack and made sure that London was alive and kicking. But Hitler continued it till he got pacified. In the interim, British strengthened their RAF and retaliated Luftwaffe successfully which saw British claiming air superiority over the channel.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486863","data":"
3. Never underestimate your enemy<\/b><\/p>
After a slight aid in defense from Italy from the south, Hitler was now ready for another invasion. This time he really aims big. The soviet union. Although Churchill and Roosevelt warned Stalin, he took them with a grain of salt. Now, Hitler's after him. With over 3 million troops, <\/b>Hitler launched the largest ground invasion in history(operation barbarossa). He was marching ahead ferociously. It looked like he would invade all of the Soviet Union in a fortnight. But, then it started getting stupid cold. The war conditions were not familiar to the Germans who halted for a while. In the meantime, Stalin woke up and launched an attack on the knackered Germans with his specially trained Siberian troops who were pro at fighting in ice cold landscapes. And there you go, Germany was now no match to them and Hitler had to postpone his invasion.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486864","data":"
4. Focus on what you want to achieve<\/b><\/p>
Now, here the term greed<\/b> comes into the picture. After the winter, Germany was ready to re-invade the Soviet Union. But Hitler just discovered some oil in the middle east. So, when he resumes his incursion, Hitler now moves his 4th panzer army southwards quite early, which leaves 6th army to fight alone the mighty foes. This resulted in the harshest battle in history, 'Battle of Stalingrad'. <\/b>Now, earlier, before the winter, when Germany launched a surprise attack on the Soviets, Stalin moved all the factories east. These were silently producing some great warfare during the long battle of Stalingrad. And with that warfare, and the Germany's own encircling war tactics, they were finally outclassed and the battle was ended. This is the most important part of the whole world war. It resulted in a deceased German morale. <\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1547224486865","data":"
5. Friend's enemy is not necessarily 'your' enemy <\/b><\/p>
In the alternate universe of the world war, there was Japan, an Axis power in the east. It was ravenous for natural resources. So they started hunting them down. Japan developed a sphere of influence pretty easily, in the parts of China and south east Asia. Now, they eyed Oceania which was heavily colonised by The Allies. Also, they lack naval superiority over USA. So they had a plan. They thought of destroying the US's navy before their conquest. Hence, the famous Pearl Harbour<\/b> incident. Roosevelt had no option but to declare war against Japan. And then, UK it's ally also declared war on Japan, which was legit. But Hitler got crazy. He declared war on the USA. The pesky USA. Eventhough, he didn't have to.<\/p>"}]
