20 QUALITIES OF A REAL HERO & Secret tips to find One too!

By on 9

What are the qualities of a real hero?Do you know how to be one? Do you know the secret tips to find a hero? Don’t worry I have news to share.

When we watch Hindi movies the heroes are often flawed. They don’t study (I am obsessed with this one). The foul-mouthed hero, marrying the arrogant princes and teaching her all about real life is a favorite topic. A reverse fairy tale or a modern fairy tale. Whichever way you look at it, as a woman  I don’t want heroes like that in my life.

Golden heart like Munnabhai who needs no degree to cure patients or win legal battles gives out mixed messages.

Then there are films like A Wednesday, Raazi, and Chaakde, which made me think about unlikely heroes and what exactly is being a hero all about.

Can heroes have flaws? I think they have. Humans are flawed, so it’s natural that human heroes will be flawed.

Why are Incredibles and the Avengers series so powerful? Why did Avengers Infinity war kill all the heroes? Is it important modern literature and films portray a positive hero or is a negative hero (if there is such a thing ) okay?

Does the hero need big muscles, big heart or a smart head?

 Who is a hero? 20 Qualities of a Real Hero

1)A hero is kind even when angry.

2)A hero understands chivalry and equality.

3)A hero believes and understands empathy.

4) A hero believes in the greater good.

5)A hero knows and has faith in a higher power.

6)A hero is not cruel.

10)A hero is not perfect.

11) A hero is not mentally or physically weak.

12 )A hero is not afraid to cry.

13) A hero is not afraid of love.

14)A hero is not afraid to fail.

15) A hero always helps.

16) A hero knows the truth about life and death.

17)A hero has no time for mollycoddling her/his ego.

18)A hero walks the talk. She/he starts the change she/he wants to make.

19 ) A hero always slays her/his inner demons first!

20)A hero is always curious. He is always learning. But a  hero helps train other heroes. Thats why parents are natural hero material!

Now since you know how to be a hero, I am sure you will be one, if not already a hero.

Super tip: Reading this post and sharing it everywhere automatically qualifies you to the hero school!

But now comes a problem. Heroes may be lonely. Guess why? Because they need to find people like themselves to be happy and at their heroic best. That’s why finding your friends and partners with care is important. They will help you in harnessing all your superpowers and may also make it more special.

Secret tips to find your own hero when you are already a hero yourself

1)Someone whom you can’t live without.

2)Someone who makes you laugh.

3)Someone who respects and trusts you.Making you second guess about his activity and intentions are not going to be fun

4)Someone who understands education is the only way to a better world.

5)Preferably someone who doesn’t have substance abuse problems.

6)Someone who understands a No is a No.

7)Someone who has a loving heart and loves you.

15 Secrets No one Told you about Making Wishes

By on 15

No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.” – Cinderella

This is something I believed in wholeheartedly. Then one day I  realized it had a small corollary, a hidden subtext, an underlying clause which you must know. Today it’s almost a  year since I discovered this truth.B y sticking it to the front of my brain, I have avoided some epic mistakes. Today I will be sharing with you my wishing secrets.

15 Secrets No one Told you about Making Wishes

#1 When you wish you must always wish in the positive.

#2 When you wish make it from a place of truth. Never lie to yourself. It’s not a good life strategy.

#3 When you wish, make it about you, your life, your actions.If your wish is about how someone else might act or do it may or may not happen. It depends on whether the primary person wishes for the same or not.

#4 Never wish when you are angry.

Secrets about making wishes
Secrets about making wishes

#5 If you persist with positivity it’s great for your immunity.

#6 When you are positive, you attract similar people in your life. Being positive helps you find positive friends and being around positive people, helps you channel optimism. It’s a win-win for everyone.

#7 When things get dark you don’t give up. But persist. Fairy tales taught us just that.

#8 Ageing and health, positive emotions and well-being are all connected. The sooner you know this the better it is for you. Practice a hobby, learn new things, Garden, sing, draw, write whatever makes your reserve of positivity full, must be actively practiced,

#9 If you see yourself indulge in negativity and negative discussion, ask yourself these questions.

  • Is it helping me now?
  • Is it helping anyone?
  • Is it giving me peace of mind?
  • Will this make me money or prevent me from making a bad money choice? Important question.

#10 Emotional resilience is the basis of a happy life. Ups and downs come in life. The trick is to stay stable.

#11 Practicing positive belief, enhances wellbeing. That is an important part of holistic treatment, in almost all spheres of medical science. Only medicines will not work until you channel hope and positive thoughts in the treatment process. That’s called patient factors and is as important, as everything else. There is a lot of research being done on the physiological effects of optimism.

12 While making a wish you need to focus. No other thoughts must enter your mind.

13.  Think and Grow Rich has a lot going for it still!

14. Positive thinking doesn’t mean it will be easy. It just means the journey will be more pleasant. The hard work still needs to be done.

#15 Psychoneuroimmunology is an interesting research area, which studies the relationship between optimism, health, immunity, success and whether clear correlations can be drawn.

[bctt tweet=”If the question is whether optimism is a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is a profound Yes! #writebravely #Healthwealthbridge” username=”misra_amrita”]

Remember Celine Dion’s song? Love comes to those who believe. Success and happiness reach those who believe and work for it too. That’s the way it is.

13 Secrets No One Tells you about Adversity

By on 4

“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all.” – Mulan

Adversity is easily the most challenging part of life. But have you ever wondered why fairy tales have stepmoms and Hindi movie have villains? If contemporary literature reflects society, then you have the answer. Becoming stronger doesn’t mean getting the best of life. It means making the best of the cards you are dealt with. Roses have thorns for a reason.

If you think deeply about a few of your life events which have been hard you will realize they are the ones which shaped your character your moral fiber your life view. It’s not despite adversity but because of them that you are the person you are. You and I are both blessed to have the challenges we had. If not for them we would never meet. This post would never attract you to read.

I was struggling with a very interesting issue with my blog. Miraculously I got the answer served to me on a plate.T he answers is so simple yet easy to forget.

13 Secrets No One Tells you about Adversity

#1 The more you fear them the worse it is.

#2 The Universe will give you the problems you can deal with. Nothing more and nothing less. You live the life you want to. It’s a choice you have made.

#3 Reality checks are important in life. That’s why overprotective behavior with kids can be tricky. Walk the talk but don’t fight their battles.

 

13 SECRETS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT ADVERSITY
13 SECRETS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT ADVERSITY

#4 When you think of the stepping stones to success, you will realize everyone is not as lucky as you are.

In India, only 25 % of the population use the internet effectively. One percent pay taxes. If you do both you are in a privileged group. This privilege I am sure was not all roses and has its fair share of thorns. Appreciate your challenges because they are a part of your journey.

#5 Adverse life situations will be difficult but they will always have a silver lining. The trick is to look for them. It’s not going to be easy.But no one gave a guarantee about easy right?

#6 Life, death and everything in between is a mirage, a parallel reality. It’s an experiment your soul does with itself. Its matter-energy and magic all mixed up. Adversity is the necessary suspense needed to make your story interesting.

#7 Write tribe festival of words is a challenge too. It’s making my brain work in mysterious ways. It’s giving me a much-needed midyear boost. It’s also the most refreshing way to start the next half of the year with a  bang.

#8 All the famous people in the world overcame adversity to make a life full of meaning. If you are facing difficulties, remember you are alive for a reason. You can, and will touch the sky. You will break the glass ceiling. Just don’t give up.

#9 Going uphill is always difficult.T hat my dear is adversity all about. When the going gets tough remember to look for the silver lining, thank God and get ready to be at the top. It’s just the beginning!

#10 Money doesn’t solve all problems but does a good job of taking care of most. It’s definitely better to have money, than not.

#11 If you are not getting an education, have no skills which someone will pay for, your adversity may topple the apple cart. Adversity and silver linings work well when you have a few aces up your sleeve. To have the best chances you need to be smarter than those bumps on the road.

#12 Nothing lasts forever.

Thats not true. Some things do. The secret is to find out the good ones which do.

#13 Learning from adversity means, not repeating them. Revising mistakes are not a good life strategy.

Buy Art and Paintings Online:8 ways you can Decorate your walls (no.5 is a favorite)

By on 6

Did I tell you about my new home? It is still under construction. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about decor, right? I love nature all around, my balcony garden helps with that. I plan to have a vertical garden right in my living room and for the other walls, I want paintings. Beautiful, gorgeous paintings, which will make me weave stories about the artist and the subject and make my home interesting. Paintings are not only unique home decor, but they are also a wonderful talking point. A  way to break the ice at parties. It’s also a wonderful way to make your house a home with a distinct personality.

But how do I buy paintings online? I am living in a small town in India and traveling back and forth. I love paintings, but not very well-versed in the nitty gritty of buying art. Luckily, I found a site to buy paintings online. Gallerist is based in India and connects art lovers and artists throughout the world. You can buy beautiful landscapes, florals , Gods and Goddesses, and wildlife paintings, all at the click of a button.

The site has an impressive 900 artists exhibiting on their online gallery with over 3000 gorgeous paintings. This has made my life easier. I plan to have pictures of forests and waterfalls on feature walls. 

I selected this beautiful painting of Krishna for the wall next to my puja area. I am a great believer in the power of faith. Puja corner is a must for me!

The Buddha picture will be in our library cum guest room. It’s so serene and peaceful. When I want to curl up with a good book or research something, I want a room which invites concentration.

This painting of a beautiful woman, in traditional dance attire, will grace the living room wall. Art can inspire and lift up the mood of a space. It can create life and ambiance in rooms. So I plan to buy my art pieces with supreme care. Interestingly art is also a good investment. But a lot depends on what you buy!

My daughter loves trains She will love this stunning train painting in her room. Helping Rai explore her interests, is my job as a parent. What she does, with all the knowledge, is Gods will! I think I am set.

Thank God I found this site. Otherwise, my dream of getting paintings for my new home would never come true! I found 8 beautiful ideas to display paintings and I will tell you the  9th  one in my next post. That’s a super easy decor hack, to hang paintings with zero stress.

8 Best ideas  for displaying  art as unique  decor  

1.Display art along the long connecting hallway. The plain wall which would look boring before now turns into an interesting walkway where your guests will slow down to see or you will smile as you pass.

.

  1. When you have open spaces with kitchen, dining and living room altogether, paintings help to define each area. The best part, it creates no barrier to airflow or energy flow but helps make the space distinct.

3)This is one of my favorite ways to display paintings. These slim shelves are perfect .you can have as many paintings or as little as you want. Change paintings every day, rearrange them, nothing is a problem. Bonus, there are no headaches of hanging the paintings.

4)A feature wall with a painting in the library, den or recreation room is my favorite. It looks dramatic and gives the place the right creative vibe. Home decor is not just for show. It’s creating the perfect environment for your family to find comfort and creativity to bloom.

5)A dramatic modern art, in the living space in an all-white room, gives it the much-needed color, without taking away the serene look.

6)A nature painting at the end of a hallway makes the space pleasant. Picture of plants and nature are guaranteed to boost the wellness quotient of your home.

7. Putting up paintings, properly waterproofed in outdoor areas, can help merge indoor-outdoor spaces. This gives rooms a calming back to nature effect.

  1. Even if the room is small, you can display a large painting. Just don’t put it, on all your walls. That can make the room appear cluttered. The picture below shows one waterfall picture on a feature wall. That easily lifts the otherwise okay room to wow!

Power of Family & Education: Role of Family society and Educational Institutions in inculcating values

By on 23


When I was growing up my father’s varied business interests often put our families financial logbook in the red. Our blessings came in the form of  our maternal uncles, who were forever there,  not only to support us(me and my sister), in our  educational pursuits but every other way 

My mom was a bit different. She was a working woman, which was why she understood things about financial independence ,which few do. I am talking about India in the eighties, when working women had no perks at all. I had 3 things instilled in  me:

1)Study hard

2)Get a good job

3)Live life debt free.

India was still full of hope and good cheer. Corruption if present, was not so blatantly exposed. The social media phenomenon was still in the making. The family was everything, it still is.

Education is the biggest blessing and the only way to a meaningful life. I am talking about both mainstream education and that which we get by reading things other than textbooks .I was never told I can’t dream because I was a girl. My mom told me to study hard and pray all the time. I tried to make it fun. There’s really no other way than learning and asking God for his blessings.

I often hear people complain about the study pressure, competitiveness at school .I believe all children need to learn. Most often that doesn’t happen easily , because of the skewered teacher-student ratio .So what happens is, they get scared. Parents get upset. But life is not easy. The less we learn, less we can cope with challenges All the subjects we learn at school ,go a long way in making us think out of the box. YOu should never miss the forest to staring at a tree. 

 

#MoreIndianThanYouThink
#MoreIndianThanYouThink

India is a country with a soul. That’s why people come here to meditate. The west is suffering from the loss of family structure, where there’s no one to share your sadness with. What’s worse , you have no one to share your joys with.India has the best of both worlds. We love our families. Even when we don’t get along, we try .We also believe in higher powers guiding our way. We believe in education. Because that’s the only way our children have a chance.

Subsidised education in Premier Government Institutions

Only in India is the best medical colleges, engineering colleges, still heavily subsidized. I studied at Asia’s oldest premier medical College, Calcutta Medical College for Rs 250 per year. That was the annual fees in 2005.My relatives helped with the books, but education luckily didn’t cost my mom her peace of mind. Where else in the world could this have been possible?

Why the sense of indebtedness?

Probably that’s the reason I feel a sense of deep indebtedness to my motherland India. For making me self-sufficient. For being able to be financially independent. For giving me the ability to help people. If not for that, I would probably not understand the need for working in a Government Medical College, for helping train the next generation of doctors. Doctors who will compete with doctors, trained in Private Medical colleges of questionable repute, with degrees that have cost them a crore.

If not for being an Indian I would not have understood the need for the right to quality education. That educating one more member of your family, can change the socio-economic profile forever. In this regard quality education access is needed for everyone. That’s the kind of equality, which takes countries ahead. But if merit is compromised, then society will implode. It’s not sustainable. Darwin’s law of Survival of the fittest works at multiple levels.

The cost of post-secondary education in USA & Canada makes getting a college degree inaccessible for many students Outstanding student debt in the United States totals  in trillions. 

If this was the case in India, many like me would never have made it as a doctor, debt-free!
