How I pick Good_things in a bad

 How I pick Good_things in a bad



That's the “standard” advice to wedded oldies who struggle to get along together πŸ˜₯ “ why don't you think of good_things about your spouse?”

( My private finding is, as we age, 

That, which is by-default in us, remains …..

That which needs a conscious effort,  fails, owing to age……

Bad habits are the default. Good ones need conscious efforts though ‘world’ call it good_habits.

With age, bad habit get the limelight like a scratch on a white paper/cloth πŸ™πŸ˜“)


Anyway, 

I decided to look at things with_a_good mindπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

For instance, I look at my spouse displaying her anger at_me( bulk of it caused by situation_or_others) as “COURAGEOUSLY” done, red_faced😑😑😑. 

I admire the “courage”πŸ™

This admirable of courage, paved way for my discovery of a great WISDOM in her πŸ™

Wisdom is = she knows, it is SAFE to get angry with me 😜.



It's like this…..

I am destined to be born in a lineage of Traditional beggars…..

We were not gifted with an elaborate set of chants, ( highly scientific Mantras) to UNDO our wedding knots πŸ˜­πŸ™ Logic = wedding needs hectic chanting+ rituals for solemnisationπŸ™. Obviously, a simple chant cannot be enough to de_solemnise it.


Yes ….. you got it right πŸ‘ 

“ I do” they say to each other, when a priest OFFICIALLY asks the pair, their willingness to Espouse each other πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

So…. a simple syntax “I UN_do” is enough πŸ™ πŸ‘ ( lucky ones, to be born in that tradition, when getting along with a spouse is tough.  “When going gets tough, the tough get_going”---away from each other 😜).

I can't use “the Undo” function ( outdated software in my lineage πŸ™ πŸ˜“).  “Necessity is the mother of Invention”. I ‘invent’ ideas like “call it as Courage, when safety is 100% guaranteed “ etc😜.

My inventions work only for meπŸ™( readers are advised ‘not to try it at home’. This was only for advertisement, and by a professionally trained spiritual bijness seeker 😜)


Very adjustably yours,

Reaching a students mind

 Reaching a students mind 


Parents of “today” are often kaanFused(confused) about “what's going on in my child's mind? 😧 πŸ€””

( That's not beCause that today's kid of 9 yrs is high_tech_complex. Our ears( kaan,) are fused to subtle listening 😜 ( mind's chatter)


Not that I ‘qualified’ myself ‘academically’ into a big psychiatrist πŸ™.  Sometimes a drowning guy happens to learn to stay afloat under constraints πŸ˜“. ( I volunteered for backup support of spiritual program for 6+ years. Insight into minds got bulldozed into me😭)


A joke:

I give a title to this joke : JUST_PASS (πŸ˜‚)


1998 or so….this story!

A dejected mom in our neighborhood wailed requesting my sister: “ can you please do something? My daughter always falls short of a few marks to pass in her maths exam. The tuition teacher refunded this month's advance_fee saying ‘i can't help this kid to pass the 3rd standard annual exam in maths’.  Only few days leftπŸ™πŸ˜“”

My sister with her disclaimer:” i am willing to try, but no guarantee, when a professional tuition teacher has given_up”.


I saw my sister struggling to ‘speak’  to that kid, being an asthmatic. I said, “just pass? Let me try”

I did a little spade_work.

Narrowed down to a ‘sure chapter’ in maths where that kid is ALSO SURE to flop 😜

Fractions — ( the ‘type’ of koschans/questions,  made my job too EASIER.  But, the teacher had thought of that type to make her_job easier😜. )

Koschan model= “identify & mark the proper & improper Fractions in the following:

a)⅘, b)9/7, c)16/23, d)⅜ (etc)


Moms look at such questions, keeping her child's innocent ‘face’ in the mind and think :  “ 😑😑😑 ΰ€¬ΰ€š्ΰ€šे ΰ€•ी ΰ€œाΰ€¨ ΰ€²ोΰ€—े ΰ€•्ΰ€―ा???”( Do you intend to squeeze the ‘life’ out of MY dear child???)


My software (own A.I.)

I knelt down on fours. Asked my brother's daughter ( in 2nd class, yet to hear that monstrous word “FRAC_SHUNS”, rhyming like fracture_de_bone) to climb on my back( piggy_ride).

Asked that blank_eyed kid : “who is bigger ? Me, or this girl riding my back?”

Student: you.

Me : is it not okay/proper for a smaller kid to sit on a larger_me?

Student: Yes! Weight is bearable πŸ‘


Now, i asked my niece to kneel down on 4’s. I feigned ‘riding’ on her, taking care not to”park” my bottom on that tiny girlπŸ™ ( ΰ€œाΰ€¨ ΰ€¨ΰ€Ήीं ΰ€²ेΰ€¨ा ΰ€šाΰ€Ήिΰ€ ΰ€₯ा πŸ˜“। No intention to snatch that innocent ‘life’). Kept a 2 centimetres gap between her back and my bottom —weight on my bent_knees on either sides of her πŸ˜‚)


Me : now? Who is bigger?

Student: you!!! She can't bear your weight πŸ™‚ ( that ‘smile’ lit up my hopes πŸ‘… “careful now” i warned myself… drive carefully, hairPin bends ahead, Ghat section! Tiny grasp might fall off steep_hill)


Me: is not BAD or improper for me a larger fellow to sit ‘upon’ a small child who is smaller_than_me?

Student: Yess. Bad …bad…

Me : okay, improper to do such bad things πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


Me: you know numerals 1,2,3,4,....99,999, 1,00,000?

Student: yes! Learn’t it in 1st itselfπŸ‘

Me: good!  Larger number later isn't it?

Kid : yes

Me: i write numbers one below the other ½, ⅔, etc …. But by mistake I wrote 10/9 😭

wrong isn't it? “Improper” says your ‘maths’ teacherπŸ‘ ( Gently squeezing-in the technical maths_term “improper “


Kid nodded ( that vocalised “yess” vanishedπŸ˜“. A warning sign of body_language for meπŸ™)


( After few more similar ‘gimmicks’)

Me : “Think of me & this tiny girl’s visuals in your question paper, while answering ‘Fractions’. Larger number will cause bone_fracture sitting above a small number. Scold it writing “improper 😑’’.... Rest of it “okayπŸ‘ proper”..



In short…… that kid PASSED 😜

That mom did google_pay of her “thanks” to my sister. 

I tolded/told my sister : “don't worry , income tax returns don't mandate declaring income like ”thanks”  under own PAN number in tax_returnsπŸ‘”

Sister: “youuuuuu 😑😑😑”


( How can we ‘blame’ school teacher, managing 50 kids?  Impractical to teach each kid with a ‘unique’ customized CIRCUS examples like this πŸ˜“πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™


And we parents are obligated by nature to infuse correct values in a kid during its FORMATIVE stages of Concepts_formation πŸ™)


Thanklessly yours,

Ethical paper leak

 Ethical paper leak 


Yep!


Its possible πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘( like ethical hacking 😜)



Copying in eggjams attracts punishment?!?? Not REALLY πŸ˜•…  where you copy FROM decidesπŸ‘

1)From memory= State first Rank, admission with highest cutoff for degree

2)From a hidden paper= depends whether the invigilator is corrupt or honest. Cunning or stupidly_honest. But only punishment.



Question paper Leak offers a better insurance. No matter who that damn vigil_later is, mugup limited answers, vomit cohesively, get centum



Centum 😜

In 2001, I knew a wizard who guarantees centum in maths to 55 out of 60 tuition kids he charged ₹5,000 per package in advance. Rest 5 get 95% plus. Once in 4 years, all the 60 get centum. ( The details are my secret too… and I don't spoil somebody’s livelihood even for fun. Elect a good neta as educaShun minister or face the collective Karma quietly)


This tuition master earned a reputation as “Centum_xyz”. Prefix like Dr for PhD πŸ™ 

I privately+ personally accord more credibility to the prefix “centum” than a Dr—Phd in maths masquerading as dean of dept of mathematics in a big college. My reason is SIMPLE. This tuition master has mastered the commercial aspect of “sense of Discrimination” in him, and translated its functional_software to earn him lakhs of rupees per year ( 5 shifts of each batch of 50 kids average…. Zero_rules like that of “recognised + licensed school, and yet delivers only centums πŸ™).

Had he used the same dexterity of sense of Discrimination for his personal+private spiritual bijness, even 1% of the labour part, he would have become a “drushta”( a visionary, 5th level of 6 types of Desi teachers πŸ™) and his centum students would have remembered him on every Guru_poornima day πŸ™.



NEETly yours,

psn( 29 Jul, 2026)



PostScript: 1957-58 to 1969-70, I had a glimpse of what a ‘Drushta’ might look like, in a few of my school teachers. Most of ‘These few’ died in utter poverty πŸ™. But the “concepts” they taught, and “how to ask” that a couple of them taught, LIVES through even a non_entity like me😜. They perpetuated their teachings πŸ™ 



Reference:

There are teachers( of all 6 kinds—-1. The teacher who gives you information is called: Adhyapak.

2. The one who imparts knowledge combined with information is called: Upadhyaya.

3. The one who imparts skills is called: Acharya.

4. The one who is able to give a deep insight into a subject is called: Pandit.

5. The one who has a visionary view on a subject and teaches you to think in that manner is called: Dhrishta.

6. The one who is able to awaken the wisdom in you, leading you from darkness to light, is called: Guru.



A teaser: Interested to know the name of one medicine system that is Leak_proof & hack_proof in its entrance exam? ( Unlike NEET?)

My confession

 My confessionπŸ™


Blogs are too many by now😭


A confession to my readers is not out_of_place.


My sin : postulates related to the basics_of_life do creep in inevitably, owing to my focus on ‘sharing’ my personal experiences thus far in my life.


These postulates ( related to basic concepts) get strewn randomly in my blogs. 



Consequence:

By its very nature, postulates ( lowest in the hierarchy of phenomenon, repititiousness, postulate, theory, concept and law) are bound to contain inconsistency in πŸ™




Lack of remedy:

Constraints get imposed on the readers minds, deterring them from vocalising even the most stupid inconsistencies in my blabber πŸ‘πŸ™πŸ™. ( Something i can only ‘wish’ as a charity unto me, to rectify myself πŸ™πŸ˜­).



A silver lining 😜 : 

My only_consolation too…  the readers’ minds get excercised, delving into a maze, which might have been infested with cobwebs, like our attic, which we neglect to visit for too long, owing to the priorities of present day fast_paced_lifeπŸ™… ( This is only an imagination of mine, i am painfully aware of it πŸ˜‚. My mind is more_ordinary( extra-ordinary, like extra_chutney we request for our idli/dosaπŸ™πŸ‘).



Guiltily yours,

Is laziness in or by the mind?

 Is laziness in or by mind?


“I am a lazy person” ( of course, the mind said it πŸ™)


Does it mean, that the mind_itself is lazy???


See, our simple understanding is lazy=avoiding action even when needed.



Mind, prescribed laziness, like a doctor who seldom eats what he prescribes 😜 ( reason may be, it suits mind to keep_busyπŸ˜₯πŸ™, otherwise it waits for us to sleep 😴, to keep the brain busy with incessant data_feed, called dreams).



Mind is the busiest, most active fellow with in me πŸ™. Even when I sleep, it chatters. No court can compete with my_mind in delivering “Judgements” in milliseconds 😜. Even my meditaShun shuns me because mind REFUSES to sit-idle πŸ˜œπŸ˜“.



A 2 month baby has “zero issues” with LAZINESS .   We adults can't compete with that kid, in circling the arms & legs non-stop, all its waking hours. Our mind says ‘stop it’. Baby's mind is still in its formative stage, not yet like that ‘proverbial’ mother-in-law πŸ˜œπŸ™



So, let us get it right. Minds ailment is hyperactivity. The slaves of the mind end up into laziness, procrastination, refusal to allow intellect to function, etcetera πŸ™



Lazily yours,

Creating problems for myself

 Creating problems for myself 


Disclaimer: this blog and its contents are bogusπŸ™ . Any coincidence with me or Modi is purely incidental, fictitious ( bla-bla-,bla)...



Me:

“Why do you create problems for yourself, instead of enjoying retired life? Even at 70+ you are having no major-health issues, no major greed to need big_funding. Then why???” ( Peepals/people who assume to be my well-wishers ask.

Me: “ two good reasons.

I was trained by ‘created’ problems onlyπŸ™. Maths problems taught me to solve. Algebra taught creating  complicated problems “find x”( a non_existing absconder 

Real life problem do not give a thrill 😭. Desi spirituality says “just go through the problem, you are passed/mokshaFied…no need to solve. Just get DisSolved πŸ‘



Even otherwise ….   “Good movies” are FULL of created problems only, isn't it? ( If everything goes well for the hero/heroine for 3 hours of the movie, where is the “good” in the movie? MahaBoring isn't it?

Best army in the world ‘creates’ mock war and trains the soldiers. Real war seems like ‘play’ thereafter ( proof: 2 surgical strikes & 1 operation sindoor. Indian armed forcesπŸ‘)



Modi 

Unlike me, Modi doesn't need to create problems. Opposition takes the trouble, squandering crores of rupees to help Modi to use the problem as an opporChutney/opportunity πŸ™ 

Not able to ‘digest’????????

I will give you a bogus evidence but likely to convince you 😜😜😜


Bogus thing:

Modi prescribed a new Desi syllabus for kids ( scrapping syllabus of British era, meant to keep us as buddhoos/idiots). Obviously, scam netas resisted via non_Modi states.

But Modi needs a “problem” to modify the koschan_paper according to new syllabus πŸ«ͺπŸ˜₯πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™. ( Old question paper is useless for new syllabus. Ramayana can seep deep only if the questions on the story is ‘super’ after reading the story. Valmiki left that choice to posterity — set the questions according to your & listener's brains. Just don't tamper with my story πŸ™)

Modi needs a problem to convert it into an opporChutney.

Godiji said “dond warry/don't worry. I will entice sores to dump dollars via bogus ngo’es to scam netas, cockroaches. They will blow a small leak, NEET’ly, out of proportion. A fellow will be ‘fast’ to speed up the problem. When the problem peaks, you feign as if you ‘kneel down, lost the game’ and quickly CHANGE the question paper( to sync with new educaShun policy). Let scam netas think, you are surrendering to their Neet-protest and merely tightening the leak in the koschan paper. Anyway scam netas have zero GnawLedge about tough eggjams like NEET ( they hardly paased matric 😜)

Thus, Modi is using God manufactured samosa/samasya/problem to convert it into an opportunity to reform “Exam Bill” ( hopefully to be placed tomorrow in the parliament πŸ™)

Accidentally selfless

 Accidentally selfless


Yep!


That's how I am able to classify myself when i slogged for some 11 months at my work place, and ended up clearing a backlog of 15 years of unreconciled inter-branch-transactions, reported to my branch by Head office ( reconciliation dept). I didn't bother about, nor was there any recognition for this task, though I got 99.99% of the thousands of them unreconciled for 1½ decades😜.

Now, I can ‘safely' disclose the source of fuel in me “where did the money go then?” Stock in trade is paisa, where I worked πŸ™

Others couldn't manage a deeper focus, because it was a BORING job( search for a needle in a haystack and you will agree 😜)


For me, it didn't seem to qualify as a selfless act ( 11 months, average 10 hrs a day, is no jokeπŸ™). 



What's this “selflessness which the saintly guys advise”??? 


I used a bogus story.

I am (say) 10 years old. Hungry. I hold a slice of bread. I sight a kid of 2 years, more hungry than me, sitting on the footpath, looks like a beggar woman's kid. “Let him have it” i thought πŸ€”. The kid looked happy holding the bread greedily ( innocent greed,πŸ™). Suddenly a street dog snatched it from that 2 year beggar πŸ˜₯. What do I do now? Anti-rabies injection, 14 doses around my stomach( 1960’s), not worth a risk for retrieving it from the dog. ( Is the dog selfish/greedy? Unlikely πŸ™.  The dog doesn't have ‘issues’ with ‘self awareness’ 😜. Only thereafter the koschan of selflessness for that 4 legged creature πŸ™. It has an embedded software, designed for self_preservation and propagation of its species. No ‘ethics’ to itch the conscience like me😭).

This bogus story digged a few more thoughts in me 😳. Like, “can selflessness be a quality that can be ‘cultivated’ in exclusivity of other virtues? “  I had a similar ‘problem’ with humility πŸ˜₯. Not an exclusive thing, but a consequential ‘label’.


A mosquito bites the little finger of my left palm. The forefinger of my right  palm ‘rushes’ to scratch that little finger 😜.  Ofcourse a ‘selfless’ act of my right forefinger πŸ‘. ( Mind you, I am only narrating ‘what worked for meπŸ™’. The reader can dismiss it with a laugh πŸ‘). Clue for me : inclusiveness. Both the fingers are a part of meπŸ™. Therefore, selflessly the scratching act of forefinger on the little finger 🀘.  Anything that works for me is good enough πŸ™, whether world/Google A.I. etc approves it or not πŸ˜‚.



Highest levels of selflessness seems to be needed for the ‘blessings’ to ‘work’ . Oops! As per my_personal findings, inclusiveness is a_must, if I like to try the gimmicks of blessing somebody, or receiving it from the other, to translate into something ‘fruitful’. 

A switch blesses a bulb to light up, only if the connectivity, energy and receptivity are in ‘working condition’ ( my personal experience only πŸ™)



Blessedly yours,

Huzur Sahib

 Huzur Sahib


I wrote to a classmate of school ( i am yet to meet since 56 years, a Sardar, and the only one in my class then πŸ™‚)

Classmate of school, ΰ€‡ΰ€Έीΰ€²िΰ€ πŸ™

https://dontmistakemeforamuslim.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/kar-sewa-selfless-service-one-of-the-sikhs-ways-to-salvation/




I didn't know so_much about Huzur_Sahib when I received ΰ€…ΰ€¨्ΰ€¨ ΰ€¦ाΰ€¨ at the langar there, after the closing time at 10 pm ..... in 1979 πŸ™


The place and I, both were strangers to each other. But the Guru resting there quietly had perhaps recognised meπŸ˜‚

The 'food'( simple roti & left over dal ) did a magic in meπŸ™ and the experience got engraved in my memory ( for a long time, my logical mind held it's influence saying "anything tastes awesome on a starved stomach πŸ‘"...but decades later, as I evolved a bit more into spiritual bijness, the mystic aspect of the food i ate 'naturally' unraveled its secret. I felt blessed.  Blessings are also selfless, from a Guru 😜, while we ordinary ones are content with joy in selflessness at mere physicality. Oh yes! By coincidence, that receptivity in me had a just_pass_marks during my visit, owing to the austerities I observed for a Sabarimala pilgrimage, a 41 days' vrat)


Luckily yours,

Disincentives among us

 Disincentives among us


Yes.

Nature doesn't discriminate.

Our minds do 🀣


I had a boss, who was in-charge of some 25 people under him. He resisted strictness, harshness etc. Obviously, there have always been a few who take_advantage of any leniency 😜. Late coming for work went unpunished. Only a request “please be on time” after a dozen late arrivals. Slowly, even those who were punctual due to fear_of_punsihment yielded to the temptations of bold ones. That boss lamented to me, one day (I was the only fool who is much before time throughout my lifeπŸ˜₯), saying “I feel sad, my leniency gets punished by my own family(staff) πŸ™”. I offered a solution “Sir, I will gift wrap a pencil and you present it to me, as a reward for my stupid punctuality, despite the absence of any risk for late_coming”. He didn't ‘give a damn’ to this suggestion 😜.( I didn't remind him that he routinely orders me to ‘man’ three counters till the latecomers arrive 😜. A disincentive gifted to me dailyπŸ™πŸ˜‚)


Honesty, sincerity, punctuality, discipline, and such stupidities go unrecognised today. 


There is a disincentive too at times 🀣.

A couple younger to me by ten years invited us for the wedding of their daughter. Being close relatives, it was customary to pack a load of cookies as a return gift, needing a week to eat it. The host found a dozen of large sets left over, when the oldies declined it saying “cholesterol, BP, sugar, diabetes, ulcer” etc . All were 60+ and the cookies were expensive (specially ordered with ghee etc, but ranking as ‘junk food’). The lady host, handing over 6 packs instead of 1 said “your hubby has no food restrictions, so you can(must) take these”. At home, I quipped, looking at the stockpile of 6 weeks “disincentive for being healthy” πŸ™πŸ˜­


( My humble guess is, spiritual bijness is the only arena where, positive traits get incentivised unerringly by nature/divinity/whatever πŸ™. Inability to refrain from punishing goodness seems to have come to stay as ‘second nature’ in usπŸ˜₯)


No wonder, the ‘devil’ somewhere up there, is relaxing with joy, since we are doing his job unto each other πŸ˜‚( moral stories are limited to kid_age pastime only).


Unfortunately, the design of human physiology is stubbornly resistant about adapting itself to negative qualities of mind 😭. Chronic ailments flourish proportional to negative traits πŸ˜“


Anyway yours,
psn(23 Jul 2026)


Post script:

Forget about the absence of a structure in the “design” of koschan_paper in my school, to find out if I grasped the ‘concept’ in the science subjects(by-heart fetches centumπŸ‘). But my classmates, whom I met 56 years later are irritated when I ask “do you remember the rectilinear propagation of light?” Only two of them said “seems like having heard of it somewhere πŸ‘”. I had to compromise sharing the memories of only our stupidities at school, not the concepts we learnt. No marks for grasp of life Concepts either πŸ˜œπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Acceptance

 Acceptance


“The body is unable to accept the medicine” declares a doctor, to the guys who volunteer to stand_by a patient. 

This sentence is very naturally interpreted by the care_takers/standers_by as “Oh! So the chances of the patient's recovery is now bleak” πŸ˜“


It is not about ‘refusal’ often. Inability to accept, when a human body is choiceless about our choices of intake πŸ™


Ancients managed to ‘tackle’ even_the unavailability of air to breath and food to eat, by evolving into sophisticated practices which can obviate the need to convert the 5 basic_elements in nature into a form which is acceptable by the design of a human body πŸ™ (I was made to try one such spiritual practice, and the need to ‘eat’ food dropped dramatically). Thats "acceptance" at sophisticated and subtle levels.


What about the accept_Abiliity of our mind? We put up a verbal argument, whenever our inability to ‘accept' a verbal statement gets provoked 😜.  When a ‘mind’ turns into its own enemy(peak levels of non_acceptance), others around start planning to ‘somehow’ hoodwink that owner of the mind to reach a mental health home 🀣. 


Inclusiveness seems to be the key to expand our scope of acceptance πŸ™

We have no difficulty in accepting_inclusion of our body as ‘ours’. A chronic and acute diabetic is able to accept a proposal to chop off a toe(amputation) so that the rest of the body can live a little longerπŸ™.

The mind resists to ‘ampute’ the negatives that deter the expansion of itself to ‘include’ more into itself! ( A classic example in the epic story of Mahabharat: Duryodhana declares(lucky to be able to accept that he cannot_accept something precious 😜) when he said “I know what is Dharma and Adharma very well. But I can neither accept dharma, nor get_rid_of the adharma in me”


We see tragic instances of teenagers suddenly ending their life, when they are unable to ‘accept' a score that cannot get them an admission into a medical College, in the ‘NEET’ exam πŸ˜₯πŸ™. They get very high scores, not just a ‘pass’ marks. It is about cut-off( amputation)!!! Probably, they fail to remember(recognise) the ‘basic’ truth that it is a competitive examination, not a qualifying examination πŸ™.  The criteria is ‘elimination’ among_the_qualified, and_not about ‘selection' or assessment for the qualification/qualified.


A joke:

At my workplace, me and my colleagues were approaching fifties. The lady engaged to prepare & serve us tea/coffee twice a day, needed to be reminded “without sugar”. My next seated colleague lamented “you are lucky, but I need to specify ‘without sugar’. I turned to that lady and announced ”without sugar henceforth, for me as well πŸ‘”. Both, the lady & colleague stared at me in disbelief!!!!  I enjoyed ‘good tea’ for the next few months, consistentlyπŸ‘.  🀣…. That colleague, over these months, started accepting the irritating few customers at his counter, quite unaware of his subtle transformation in his mind 😜😜😜( for me, very privately it was “operation successπŸ‘”. That colleague became relaxed. The inevitable consequence was, his irritants found no resistance to their irritability, and gradually dropped off their own irritation_emissions 🀣🀣


I felt overjoyed to come across a statement by a youth who “accepted” his friend's concept about ‘arguements/debates’ some 15 years laterπŸ‘πŸ™. It might take even that long to uproot some of the stubbornities in us😜. He conceded (accepted) that an argument is not about convincing the other, but about finding out how strong we ourselves are about ourselves being convinced.  This perspective is itself going to change the way we_argueπŸ˜œπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™. “Pre-loaded” with utmost positivity in our arguments/debates πŸ‘ 


Acceptably yours,

If that “without sugar” wala joke is insipid, a sugared Fact πŸ™:  a sensible mom stays awake without any reason, alongside her child, cramming the syllabus for the whole night to prepare for an examination next dayπŸ˜‚. That child ‘feels’ motivated to “accept” the Need to forego sleep that night, and focuses better on the syllabus, instead of chanting “I am cursed to keep awake, while all others in our family are Snoring blissfully 😭”.
