1. Don’t take anything for granted. (Yes, this is the most important life lesson I have learned till now.)

I know it sounds very cliché but it is true. Respect what you have at present because you may lose it the very next moment.
Appreciate your parents, your friends, your relatives and everyone because nobody stays in your life forever. Be
happy, it’s free.Try to appreciate the little things in life because you will never know when they will turn into only memories.

2. Your health comes first.

There are so many times when we give importance to our work or studies and less attention to our health. We create so much pressure on ourselves and want to achieve so much in life that sometimes we forget to appreciate this beautiful gift called life. It’s important to have your priorities straight and your own health should always be your first priority.

3. Patience is a virtue.

Me being an extremely impatient person can very well tell you that patience is really a virtue. The more impatient you are the more are the more chances that you will spoil every work you do.

4. Nobody really cares about you except your parents.

I know it is very heart breaking to know this but nothing can be more true than this. Only your parents genuinely cares about you and nobody else. No matter how close the other person is to you. The real love always comes through parents.

And one more thing. I hate to admit it but your parents are always right. They may not be as technology savvy as you are but they have seen life in a far better way than you have. Trust them.

5. It doesn’t hurts to be kind.



Sometimes we are so busy in our lives that we often take out our frustation on others. But you will be amazed to know that even if you send a single message to someone, reading which they can feel happy I can’t tell you how grateful you will feel. It really never hurts to be kind.

Thank you so much for reading. Those were some of the life lessons I have learned.I would love to know the lessons you have learned. So, please do share them with me.

So, for most of us living indoors for so much of time can really get to our heads and it can have negative impact on our heath due to decreased physical activity.

Here, I have some tips that will help us to stay calm during quarantine.

1. Let’s try and not watch news continuously.

As soon as we turn on any news channel everywhere we will keep hearing the news about coronavirus. I mean, it’s okay to be updated about the current situation but focusing all our mental energy on it ain’t gonna help.

2. Let’s take out time to do some exercise.

Since, all of us are locked down in or homes. Because of this there is decrease in our physical activity which can definitely have negative impact on our healths. So it is very important that we take out some time to exercise.

There are many exercising and yoga videos available on you tube for free, we can make use of them.

3. Meditate.

Not only physical but mental health also is equally important. In this situation we definitely are worried about the well being of us and our closed ones. But worrying about a situation that we can’t control will not help. Just take the necessary precautions and remember we are all in this together.

4. Eat healthy.

I know when we have nothing to do. We just want to eat. But be extremely careful about what you eat. Avoid eating junk as much as possible. And take proper care of your diet

5. Don’t forget to Stay Connected.

Don’t you think that we are an extremely lucky generation because we live in a time when we are virtually connected with each other so so much.
Let’s make use of that and keep asking oour friends and family about their health.

6. Don’t avoid social media.

Social media is not all bad, it can have both positive as well as negative impact. We can use it to be inspired positively or start any online business.

7. Inculcate a new habit.

As we have a nice portion of time in our hands we can use this to inculcate a new habit. We can utilize time by reading some books, learning to play an instrument, learning drawing, learning cooking etc.

These were some tips that I thought will help everyone. If you know any more tips please do share them in the comments.

No one ( I mean ofcourse except those people who want to be the employee of the year)  wants to go back to their 9 hrs working jobs where they have to just sit in front of their computers all day long and do the same boring stuff again and again. And keep hearing their bosses who definitely refuse to listen and understand you. And I know some companies do allow work from home. But  I mean who really wants to work while being at home.

Deep down all of us have passion to do something different, different from this monotonous job. But, we are not courageous enough to choose our passion as a career option. Hence, we follow the ongoing legacy of office jobs. Because ,you know, that’s the safest option, no hard work needed to prove yourself. Just sit in front of the computer and no one even cares about your existence.

But now what to do? How to enjoy this life that we have chosen for us? Don’t worry I have come to your rescue.
We all  know and can understand how boring can a monotonous job be. Well, I have some amazing tips which will help you breàk the boredom of your job and increase your productivity. So, here are some tips on how to make your monotonous job interesting.

1. Keep updating your playlist:  I know not everyone is a fan of listening music. But, trust me listening music is a great stress reliever. But, listening to the same old songs again and again can bore you. So, it’s important that you keep updating your playlist. Play songs you love. You can even twerk on your favourite line. It will lift up your mood for sure.

2.  Make a new friend: Being with the same people for so many days also creates boredom. Have some friends outside of your team so that you have more topics to discuss on apart fom just work.

3.  Learn a new hobby: There are many times when we have absolutely nothing to do. Why not utilize that time by learning a new hobby like drawing, or writing a blog or anything going to the office gym or to the sports room. And if your office doesn’t have a games room why not bring stuff from your home ( like rubics cube or a football etc) so that you can enjoy playing them when free.

4. Take breaks: Avoid sitting at your desks for long hours. Take short breaks like go for short walk or take a fruit break or go to fill your water bottle. And remember to always stay hydrated. Don’t forget your health. 

5. Make your desk beautiful: Imagine a desk full of quotes from your favourite movie or a desk having your favorite plant. I mean it could be anything. I know you would crave to go to that desk.

6. If nothing works, just leave it:

I know it’s hard to get a job in the first place and the thought of leaving it may cross your mind some or the other time but due to various reasons you can’t leave your job.

But trust me if you really passionate about something and you believe yourself that you can do wonders in that field, leaving you 9 to 5 job will be the best option you have ever made. And you would not regret that decision. If you are worrying about how not lose your cool while being unemployed, I have some amazing resources for you here:

But with this, we give access to the major portion of our lives information to the people who are from outside our friend and family circle.

So, how can we protect our privacy? Well, here are some tips:

1. Read the social media site’s terms

Pay attention to what information you are agreeing to share when you sign up for a social media account.

Carefully read all the terms and conditions before clicking on the accept button.

2. Use unique passwords for each social network.

Although, it’s a lot of pain to do so. But just imagine if hackers get access to one of your passwords it means they have access to all your social media platforms.

3. Use the block button.

When a spammer follows you and sends you links don’t just ignore them. Block that person and report that account as spam. It will make the social networking site monitor their actions and if many people report their account as spam, the social networking site will remove that account.

4. Don’t share private information like your full name address

As silly as it may sound but just your full name can help cyber criminals to find your Gmail address or even find your password. This can lead to inject ing malware in your devices.

5. Be careful about posting photos on social media sites

Think multiple times before posting any photo on the social media platforms.

Consider the scenario: you posted your child’s photo with their school name printed on their t-shirts. Well, after that it wouldn’t take a genius to track your child’s location.

6. Adjust the social media platform privacy settings.

Before sharing anything on your social media platform always be careful who can see, react or comment.

Before sharing anything you must decide whether you want it to be visible to everyone, your friends or your friends of friends.
