The more I learn about my religion, society, and culture, the calmer I become. My husband might have a different view point about this though.But that’s okay.I am an Indian woman and I can handle a different point of view.

India has roots deep in human civilizational history. The power of anarchic forces is limited by hate and disruption. That’s always a fallout of the power of creation.All our God’s help us remember that.

Growing as a country needs each of us to do our part. Today in the 75th year of Independence, I am grateful that I was born in free India.

I am thankful for all the freedom fighters who made it possible for us to be born free. The most significant gift for living beings is the stay free, and that’s not easy.

We have multiple pujas and or festivals every month of the year. Bengali Hindus have a saying-“Baro Mashey Tero Parban.” Translated it means,thirteen festivals in twelve months. That’s a fantastic way to celebrate the days of our lives.

25 Things I am thankful for

1. I am thankful for the Freedom to write, draw, paint, sing, dance.
2. Freedom to learn what I want to.
3. The Freedom of the profession to become a doctor. Once upon a time, your profession was determined by your birth.

As I told you yesterday, the perspective of Freedom and bliss is different for different people. The grass may appear greener on the other side. But life is not Instagram reels. It’s not just watching but for living.

A balanced focus on learning the science, arts, team sports, sports in general. A well-rounded individual is what we need. Other posts you may like
