Sunday afternoon I went to a live concert after nearly two years. The experience and the description of the concert will require a different time and space, but one of the interesting things the conductor and the main performer mentioned is something that will remain stuck with me for a long time. He is a 60 year old African-American gentleman, a Jazz musician and a conductor for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Clearly a man who has seen a lot of life and a highly respected musician. He said, these days lots of you are spending way too much time on your respective smart phones and computers, yet when you are done for the day and close your eyes, you feel a certain emptiness in your heart. You do not know what it is that you are missing, but there is always something. I recommend you to listen to some live music of any kind that you like. In a public setting with many other humans, perhaps with a friend of two. You will see that the experience will fill you up, he added!
I agree with this gentleman, the wise-old-man (who I always say does not exist) yet it does, that is the magic of reality. It is like Schrodinger’s Cat, which after taking a radioactive poison, can be dead or alive at the same time depending on the observation. Yes, life is full of these quantum paradoxes! Who says reality can’t be magical? Because it can.
We can make magic happen everyday. Two years back, the head-clerk was thinking about this and that and doing what not but not earning any money. Today, Oh- well, … I will let him talk about his today when his head is straight.
Two years back, Amor was manning the movie crowd at a facebook group. Doing something he liked. Today he is buying land from his earnings doing trades in cryptocurrency from hive related products.
There are numerous examples of success I can give with tangible numbers, but that is not necessary. The only thing I can say is keep at it and believe that magic is possible and magic will happen. With that I must say the same thing I always say. Improve the quality of writing. Write more, interact more, improve a personal skill or learn a new skill. It will improve the quality of your life and hopefully the people surrounding you.

Neela has been married for five years. She is a hard-working woman and lives in a small house with her husband, mother-in-law, and daughter. The family had no problem with Neela's baby girl. On the contrary, everyone was very happy for the little girl because no one wanted a baby boy.
But we know that the situation does not always remain the same. The situation changes at any time, at any moment. Neela's aunt came to visit their house one day; she was very influential. Neela was in the office when he came to their home. Neela's mother-in-law greets her aunt, and after a while, when they are sitting in the drawing-room talking, Neela returns from the office. Then she asks Neela, when will you bring a grandson to our family. Neela smiled and replied, "Aunt, we have decided that we will have one child, whether it is a boy or a girl."
Everyone in our family is pleased with my daughter, and everyone loves her so much. Then she was surprised and asked her, what are you talking about! Don't you want to expand the family tree? You should respect the feelings of elders. Don't you understand that a girl can never act like a boy? Who will take care of you when you grow old? Do you want to stay at an old age home after retirement? Neela then said, what kind of respect do you want? Our family decides that we will only take care of one child. If I get conceive for the next child, can you guarantee me a male child? I think the mentality of old age like you is responsible for the explosion of the population.
She got angry at Neela. Now is your childbearing age, and a son can give you a safe old age life. Can you give me the guarantee of the old age period? Our children have not bound laborers. Can you take care of a baby boy until they reach adulthood? But I think we have no right to expect these things from our children.
Hearing Neela's words, Neela's mother-in-law laughed and said, that you have opened my eyes today. My parents gave birth to 6 daughters because of just one son, and we got married at a very young age because of my brother. So our thinking needs to be modern in the real sense.

We, humans, prefer to live a diverse life. We explore diversity at every stage of our daily lives. You may think that your life is not diverse or you may think that you are not expecting a diverse life. Then, Let me clarify your idea about it. Okay, now I wanna ask you a simple question and that question you may ask yourself to find out if you have diversity in you or not. Are all your clothes in your wardrobe the same colour or the same type? I hope your answer will be 'no'. You may think "so what?!'
In general, We all have different types of clothes, from this point of view, I wanna say we all love to diversify life not just by choosing our clothes but in every aspect of our life. For a few days now I have been feeling the effects of winter, the smell of winter is wafting in the air and I know winter is coming. After a very hot summer, winter is coming. At the beginning of winter, I hear a lot of people say that winter is better than summer, as the winter goes on and as the winter intensifies their bitterness towards winter.
The thing is when something new comes to us we love to welcome the thing and as soon as the thing gets older our loving percentage gradually gets down and we start accepting a new to come. We love variation maybe for this reason nature has seasonal variations. Our country is a six seasonal land though we rarely notice all the seasons now. Just think about people who live in a country where has only two seasons each year, one is summer and another one in winter. Not too much variation in nature. They were used to it. When he visits our country and notices our 6 seasons I am dam sure he will feel much more joy and will have an emotional bonding with our country.
But our people feel annoyed most of the time and start judging "winter was good or summer was good, etc" I feel judging those seasons are nothing without stupidity. Because I feel variation comes with beauty and beauty should be enjoyed. Just think about your favourite season which will last for your life then would you be happy? Never bored? I am pretty sure your happiness would not last long like the season. So, accept variation and here has peace and everything that you are looking for.
An uncle lives opposite my house, he is a lawyer, and has a lot of wealth. In Spite of his so much wealth, he was a very miser type of person. Well, It's not my problem if he is a miser or not. What strikes me is his behavior. When I was a child I used to see him quarrel with the rickshaw pullers for some penny. Even he used to slap them sometimes. I remember those quarrels, I remember him in this way, with this image of him. Now he has changed his behavior a little but that image of him is still visible to me. That rude behavior towards the poor rickshaw drivers won't fade away from the memories for him. Yesterday I saw a short video where a well-off person goes to a roadside vendor and bargains to buy some items. That poor vendor refuses to sell at the offered price and so the person yells at him. The same person goes to a supermarket and buys the same products at a higher and fixed price. Later the video gave great turning to the ending and left a message for its audience while making that person realize his unfair act.
Sometimes we tend to act in the wrong places. That roadside vendor or the rickshaw puller isn't the right place for us to be strict. Rather we can be kind and soft to them, not asking for making a loss of our own and helping them. We can offer good behavior from our places too, being legal to their fair prices shouldn't be a problem. The tendency of suppressing the weak and winning over them forcibly should be discouraged and stopped. This is like a disease which hampers our moral values. Awareness through media is a great way to raise that humanity in us, short videos like I mentioned can be very helpful as a huge amount of audience is available on the social media platforms. The sooner we can realize and build this kindness among us the better it will be for our society.
