When nobody wakes you up in the morning
Nobody waits for you at night
You can do whatever you want
Young people might call it freedom but the elderly call it loneliness
They are not invisible to us, we see them, we meet them, we greet them and then we just get on with our busy lives
You might feel that you are giving enough time to your parents & grandparents and doing your best to lessen their loneliness, but for them, it isn’t enough?
We are always talking about ourselves, today let’s talk about ways we can make our elderly feel special (it begins with keeping your phone aside)
Enjoy a meal together- take them out or order in their favourite meal
Ask them about themselves- what was their life like back then, their dreams, their happiness
Encourage them to love themself- our elders have never had time for themselves so they’re still unaware of self-care
Join a community- there are many groups for the elderly- library, laughing club, cards
Listen to old songs together- play their favourite songs and ask them to sing along

It’s important to make people in our life feel special- so what are you waiting for- go give your grand/parents a hug or just hang out with them for a bit or give them a head massage or ask them to give you one.
Remember, everyone just wants to be wanted!

थोड़ी craziness तो होनी चाहिए
Why?
Crazy is a side effect of being awesome
It makes life fun & light
And, now that we’re talking about life & light, here’s something to know
“Know what sparks the light in you. Then use that light to illuminate your world.”
Have you ever given it a thought, how our world is changing?
Not the outside world, but the one we carry within. How with experience, maturity, time we start giving importance to quality and not quantity.
How many of you agree? Quality enhances our experiences!

No matter how small or big an experience, negative or positive, it adds to us.
But the question remains, what are we adding to our world? This time inside and outside

but I did watch these 3 movies, ‘Kaun Pravin Tambe?’ , Sharmaji Namkeen
and A Dog’s Way Home
and all of them had 1 thing in common-
PASSION & CONSISTENCY
And, we’ve all heard, multiple times, what it leads to.
But who defines success for you? People, Numbers, Things
One thing that defines success is modesty and kindness and working for your beliefs.
Everything has a definition, however, you & I cannot be defined because we are not things, we are people.
And as much as we don’t like to be judged, we should make sure, we don’t judge & we forgive and give ourselves & others another chance.
God gives us a new chance every day- the moment we wake up each morning, we get our chance to make better choices, so who are we to not give a chance.

What is easy
To blame someone else & live the same way you have been living
What is difficult
Putting continuous efforts into creating the life of your dreams
What is easy
To feel fear and live with that constantly
What is difficult
To have faith and make yourself understand that fear exists in your mind
What is easy
To fight amongst each other and not for the solution
What is difficult
To understand that peace is the only battle worth waging
Peace is always beautiful & so are you, even with your scars!

It’s true, our past shapes us. It is through the learnings, experiences, disturbances that we change.
But are we just changing (जैसे की वक़्त का नियम है), or growing to be a better version of ourselves?

In life, it’s the small things that matter!
Appreciating your partner
Saying thank you to your co-worker
Showing respect to your elders
Showering love on young ones
Smiling at a stranger
Taking care of your own self
What does it take- 1 minute of your attention & what it gives- happiness :)
It is what the world needs! The world also needs a different perspective, a few things we can learn from kids.
One thing I learnt recently,
कल के काम के लिए आज ख़राब ना करे
If something you know is going to happen tomorrow, don’t ruin your today by thinking about it all the time.
जब जब जो जो होना है, तब तब सो सो होता है!
Let’s try & make peace with this thought as

From breathing to dancing to crying to spending time with loved ones…everything we do is because of some reason.
Just let that reason be inspiring- to you & others.
Faith over Fear
Passion over Money
Love over Duty
The right reason will lead you towards contentment!
अगर सोचो तो इस बात में बहुत गहराइयाँ है!
और कहा है गहराइयाँ? जी हा, Prime पर तो है ही, but यहाँ भी थोड़ी हैं
You know when we are in our prime, be it when we are young or in power or come into a lot of money, our thinking is very different and then when we see life up, close & personal, it changes our thought process.
वक़्त की मार का इंतज़ार क्यों करे, पहले ही क्यों न सीखे!
We all want to be teachers, not learners. However, we miss the point that we can only teach well by becoming a learner.
ऊपर से गयी क्या?
It’s like leading by example! So if you want to teach someone something, be it your child, friend, colleague, parents; practice what you preach.
इसके आगे की बात
खुद को सवारों, दुनिया तो already बनी हुयी हैं!
But हा, we have one responsibility- to build our childrens' life- teach them to live a life of grace, compassion & confidence and for that, this is what we need to follow first & then teach our children.

Like you exactly know why you are doing what you are doing?
Or are clear about not doing, but just being?
Too many questions ha! Well, introspection is to know yourself without any masks.
No mask only with yourself & your loved ones, but when you step out, wear your mask.
So what plans when stepping out? Watch a movie or grab a coffee with friends or a quiet dinner with your partner…how about spending 15 minutes with your elders. Well, they are after all our guardian angels.
BTW do you see repeated numbers, it means your guardian angel has something to say to you
I also have something to say, always :P
‘Don’t judge someone just because they sin differently than you’.
Whatever we do is sin. Can we not commit any sin?
Well one thing you definitely should commit to- MENTAL PEACE
And, again it comes with INTROSPECTION.

‘Fear of missing out'
Most of us think we have to do this & that & all of it because s/he is doing it.
Our focus lies more on not how to live our life well but on how to show people around us that we are living our best life.
Why?
Every person has their unique journey and everyone has to go through their struggles to reach a point where they are able to enjoy what they really want to do. It might seem easy on the outside, but inside all have their own demons to fight.
We are best where we are!
And, at this time, it is best to be home :P
Also, it’s best to give everyone the space they need and take that space for yourself too. And how can that be done well?
By finding a balance- I can just help you till here. आगे you have to figure it out; it’s your journey :D

The world is celebrating Thanksgiving, are we?
We just copy what we enjoy- the liberty, the party culture, the movies...what about the traditions?
The idea behind Thanksgiving is to be grateful, for everything & we should be, we are blessed people- well educated, well travelled, with good exposure.
But there’s one thing I really fail to understand, why is it so difficult for us smart people to understand that
Yesterday (past) is lost & tomorrow (future) is hidden.
What we have today is the present & a chance every (to)day to live it to the best.

"People have a lot to say about lives, (that they’ve never lived)."
3 lessons I learned today
If you are appreciating someone, it is not that you are doing them some good, it is because that person is worth appreciating.
If someone is hurt by what you said or did, even though it was not your intention to hurt them, they have the right to feel bad about it.
It’s the weekend...rest it out
BTW did you know there are like 7 kinds of rest a person needs...
Physical- sleeping, napping, breathing exercises, hot baths, massages
Mental- Give yourself mental breaks- meditate, focus on one thing at a time
Emotional- Establish & maintain boundaries
Spiritual- Connect with the higher force
Social- Differentiate between relationships that drain & that restore
Sensory- Unplug, give your senses a break
Creative- Try to build sabbaticals- minutes or weeks or months
That’s a lot of rest needed…
but not this weekend...

How many of you agree? Life is as simple or as complex as your thoughts.
Maybe not now, but as we experience life in diverse situations, we realise, it actually is about the mindset.
And happiness is a mindset
Everything has two sides- either you crib and do it or you smile and do it- your choice.
Come to think of it, everything is a choice- not necessarily yours; some things people choose for us, some things we choose for ourselves, some things God chooses for us.
The only thing is, do we accept that choice?
Happiness is a choice!
Why not choose to be happy & grateful

-Lights make a big impact on happiness
-Over-happy people make more mistakes
-Social networking can erode our happiness
This I’m sure most of us will relate to
-Building something makes us love it more
-Happiness is a natural stress reliever
Water is the basis of all life, including happiness
-Dehydration brings down our happiness
There are plenty of things that bring us joy and there are unexpected ways to gain happiness. The most simple being-
-Breathing mindfully
-Eating well
-Exercising regularly
-Spending time with loved ones
-Keeping faith

Do you agree
Most of us are practical people. Life teaches us to be so.
But don’t you feel being too practical makes life dry. There has to be a certain dreaminess, certain spontaneity to keep that spark alive.
What else keeps the spark alive- LOVE
You know na love makes the world go round
Even Modern Love
People say, love has no language, but this quiz here says otherwise. Find out what your love language is.
There’s another language that the entire understands- the language of KINDNESS.
Never miss an opportunity to be kind or tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.
The foods that are sweet spoil our health and the things that are bitter like medicine help us get better.
What an irony.
When it comes to examples of irony, life proves stranger and funnier than fiction.
But it is TIME that is the strangest and funniest of all. It just keeps moving.

So what to do when it’s a rainy weekend?
Go for a long drive, dance in the rain, enjoy गरम चाय & पकोड़ा or cold beers
Ever noticed, it’s the small things in life that give us the most happiness.
All it takes is being aware to take notice of these beautiful little things & once we develop that awareness, we are awed & inspired by the smallest of things.
How do we develop this awareness?

Tell me something
Are you always elated, excited, full of enthusiasm?
Don’t think it’s possible for any of us to always be in a positive mode (माल excluded :P), also, it’s unnatural.
Did you know, what our balanced state of life is, neither being sad nor being happy. It is of being सम- समानता or equable
We cannot be sad or happy for long. We come back to being in the state of सम.
Every emotion we feel is like energy, it flows, and the flow can be high or low. And, it is in our hands, or rather mind, to control the flow.
Similarly, it is in our hands to lead a healthy, happy life. Everything we do matters; our daily habits, sleeping pattern, diet, exercise, our thoughts, our energy; all of it can be managed for a better today & tomorrow.
But sometimes, even when we try to do our best, be at our best, in whatever ways we can, we still feel incomplete. As if, something inside is missing. Do you know what it is?
It is our connection with the self, the soul, the more it grows, the more we feel complete & आहिस्ता आहिस्ता we learn to enjoy every minute of our life.
Don’t wait for something external to make you happy, that too in the future, if this, then that, doesn’t work.

This is another reason why we keep stressing about typing skills :P

"For every minute you remain anxious, you lose 60 seconds of your peace of mind."
Did it hit? बहुत hard
There’s one more thing that hit me hard...everyone in the world is looking for the key to SUCCESS & look what I found
On a serious note, whatever we want to experience or achieve, including success, we play an integral part in making it possible, despite all external circumstances.
डरता है रातों का अंधेरा, दुम दबाके वो तो भागेगा जब आयेगा सवेरा ,

Easier said than done, but then, isn’t it right?
We have to be aware, feel blessed, stay grateful & not listen to the chaos
The Dalai Lama said, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.", and, this is what most people want in these times, a little kindness, empathy & the right information.
There’s a lot of info coming in from everywhere, but is that info correct for you?
Just don’t follow everything blindly, think about it, talk to people whom you know have been through what you are going through now, don’t make hasty decisions.
Again, easier said than done, but one thing I realized in the past couple of days, decisions that are taken together, एक दुसरे की सलाह से, tend to be the first step in the right direction.
Also, we need at least 1 person in our close proximity who has the ability to look at the brighter side; you be that person for your people.
We are in the middle of a storm, that nobody knows till when it will last, so what do we do?
One thing, not overthink.
Are you an overthinker? Take this quiz to find out
You know there are only a few things we can do-
-Eat well
-Sleep right
-Exercise
-Take care of our loved ones & tell everyone around us, all izz well.

क्या आप इंतज़ार कर रहे थे
सच बताऊ तो आज inspiration ही नहीं आ रहा था…the times are so uncertain, again, it’s like things are coming close.
Just wondering, are we thankful enough for every breath we take, every experience we have, every memory we hold? Think about it!
Also, think about when was the last time you did something that made you feel elated?
Tried a new recipe; learnt to play a new tune; watered your garden; started a new exercise regime; finished reading a book.
What was it that you felt? Joy, content, happiness…
We feel such positive emotions only when we do what we enjoy, so what is it that is stopping us from enjoying?
The rising numbers or the uncertainty over lockdown

The same things you go through when you have a strained relationship, but this time all this is internal
Time for some RICE
Food does take our mind away, but it is a temporary solution. We're talking about
R- Rest- Take a break or time-out to reflect on how you feel
I- Interest- After the break, engage with the person with a curiosity to understand their feelings
C- Compassion- Try to stand in the other person’s shoes
E- Empathy- Sympathy leads to listening but empathy leads to understanding & engaging
After some soul food, it is time for some real food...summers are upon us & so is the heat
Kate Hliznitsova on Unsplash
-Start your day with warm water, lemon & honey, include fresh in your breakfast
-Lunch & dinner should include seasonal vegetables, pulses, grains
-Go for healthy snacking options & in between the day top yourself up with lassi, sugar cane juice, vegetable juice, kairi panna & of course plenty of water
Like you carry your mask & sanitiser, also carry a bottle of water. This will keep your body cool & for those who also want to keep your mind cool
Connect with your breath- A few deep breaths & you are back
Give yourself a squeeze- tense all your body parts, hold on for a few seconds & release
Splash some cold water on your face
Stare out the window
Just get out into nature- sun, air, water, flora, fauna
Enjoy a hearty laugh- it’s just a bad time, not life

Hey,
There are just very few feelings that are intense & overwhelming-
one is love the other one, stress
Stress not only kills health & well-being it also kills our happiness, especially at work. And when we are unhappy at work, we often become disengaged & toxic to others.
Just know, stress kills, happiness heals, but the main question is how to manage stress?
Well, there’s no definitive answer for it, and even if there were, it is not necessary that if it works for you, it’ll work for me.
We all individually have to fight our battles, and before that find the resources that can help us win this battle.

Happiness is all about maintaining it; following small steps that lead to everyday positivity that can include
Pursuing your dream
Practising self-love
Volunteering
Distancing yourself from negativity-people, places, incidences
Being an optimist
Living a minimalist life...
A simple question
How do we stay away from negativity?
Staying away from negativity is not possible, but what is possible is staying positive even when there is negativity around. Take a cue from the recent example of how Team India created history even amid such negativity.
And living a minimalist life?
Minimalism is a tool that can help us simplify our lives by stripping away the excess so we could focus on what’s truly important.
Let’s start with food - how about fasting this weekend- 48 hours to be exact.

So we keep talking about happiness and how we need to train our minds to be happy, but the question remains, what is happiness
Tell me if you agree or disagree,
Happiness is a state of mind and is not dependent on people or situations.
And, to lead a happy life we don’t need to do anything extra, but whatever we do- breathe, eat, exercise, work, relax, explore- be mindful & grateful.

So what was the 1 resolution that you took at the beginning of 2020 and saw it through? And, what is your resolution for 2021?
Whatever it is, make sure it involves happiness and wellness.
Coming to wellness, a few of us attended ‘Beyond Breath’ and here are my 2 learnings
We should be mindful of our actions
Whatever we do, do it consistently
Well, I have a question, not that any of you reply to me :P, but if you think about what I have to say, it’s half the battle won.
We aspire to do so many things and sometimes it is time, sometimes laziness, sometimes other important things that we keep using as an excuse to postpone it.
WHY?
You want to do it for yourself, so what’s stopping you
Let’s do an exercise, I’ve written 2 things in 'Small Steps To Happiness' I always wanted to do but somehow it doesn’t reach my priority list. Now it’s your turn, just 2 things and how do you plan to achieve it.
Tip: Write small goals; they are easier to achieve :P

Everyone has these same sentiments, it’s such a different kind of Diwali this year.
But what we all are missing is, we are with our loved ones, happy & safe & celebrating in whatever best way we can.

We are fighters, adapters, we can mold ourselves in ways we never thought possible. This Diwali let’s all do our bit of making it beautiful for others.
Consider the needs of people, animals & nature and keep it an eco-friendly Diwali
आपको और आपके परिवार को Walkover परिवार की और से दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाये
Spread cheer & share love!

Is it ever said- it happened because of the woman’s beauty;
We all agree- it was the man’s fault;
So why in today’s world- it is the women that are blamed?
The most hurtful thing is that even women like to put other women down.
Ladies, we rise by lifting others!
We celebrate & worship women during Navratri, but it is the same women we disrespect every other day in so many forms.
She is powerful yet she seeks your validation,
she has needs yet she keeps your needs ahead of her,
she is wild yet she keeps herself tamed.
It is not about how you treat women outside, it begins from your very own home, how you treat the woman sitting infront of you.

When things change inside you, things change around you :)
So it’s the time of the year to put all evils at end, including the cobwebs :P bring out all your brooms & paintbrushes & get cleaning.
How’s your सफाई अभियान going
Now that we all are home, parents, partners all would expect you to lend a hand. Don’t worry, we have a few tips & tricks for easy cleaning.
Also, this is the time of the year we all go all out for shoppings, celebrations, make the most out of the festive season, but as we all know
घर पर रहे सुरक्षित रहे & if stepping out you know what to do :P
और हा Modiji बोलके गए ना- 'जब तक दवाई नहीं, तब तक ढिलाई नहीं।
What is important is not to fight, but to fight the right enemy. Fight your own evil!
May the 9 avatars of Maa Durga bless you with 9 qualities – power, happiness, humanity, peace, knowledge, devotion, name, fame, health.
Happy Vijayadashami

Let’s share secrets! 🕶
What's up?
First of all sorry for keeping you waiting (I hope you were :P). Started with something & it got a little serious
then this thought popped up
& here we are
So let's get to the question. Whom are you living with?
I’m talking thing & not people.
INSECURITY
Well, we all feel insecure- about our health, our relationships, our financial standing, our way of conducting things… it can be about anything & it is real & disturbing.
But we are smart people, deep down we know what we are insecure about, but are we wise?
Do we understand that this insecurity we are living with is hurting us & maybe also the people around us?
Wanted to share an article or a video that could help, but realised
My insecurity- only I can uplift myself.
The question is, do I want to?
I’ve heard a lot of people saying “Oh, I’m so worried about this thing. I’m stressed”
Again a question- how is your being worried about something solving the problem?
Ask yourself- are you a narrow thinker? Talking more about problems & less about the solution.

Well too many questions...but there’s one more
एक सवाल जो सबके मन में उठ रहा है
Where is the Professor?
Busy planning a new heist :P
Have you seen Money Heist? A must watch & also Cobra Kai, both available on Netflix.
Okay going back to questions- there’s one more answer to the question I asked first (the one in the subject line & now its people)
Our loved ones, especially our elders.
Not many are able to step out of the house and also not much to do at home. Let’s talk more with our elders, spend time, involve them in whichever ways we can because being alone is good, but loneliness isn’t.
Create a good support structure!
Love,
Walkover
