Thankful Thursdays have made life more disciplined and fulfilling. When you know you have a long list of blessings, life just becomes more peaceful.The small irritations like AC not working in the car , loses its power to spoil the day.Today on Thankful Thursday, we are celebrating the ”people gifts” that God gives us.Friends !
I believe people treasures, are the true measure of who you are and what you are.If I am the total of the five people I spend the most time with, then I am in excellent company.The best part is, family we are born, with friends we choose.
When I was a child I had a habit of blurting out the most outrageous truths. I stayed friends with people who could handle that. Honest, hard working, fun humans, who can give back as good as they get. When people don’t know you they judge you by the friends you have.So choose carefully ,because friends can help you win or make failing inevitable.
I tend to gravitate toward 3 types of friends
1)People who are good and make me feel happy.
2)People who are fun.
3)People who are interesting.
When I was in school my best friend, R was an adorable mix of all three.Probably that’s why we are still in touch, separated by 5 seas and 3 continents.It has taken me a long time, but I have come to find the people, who make me feel good, are fun, interesting and from whom I can learn.Every person can teach us something.Through their good behavior or bad traits.It’s a personal choice that I would rather associate with good.
I married such a friend and found the first type of adorable friends online. Together we just published our E -books and it’s a wonderful feeling.
Good friends help you be better.
I have made my fair share of mistakes and hung out with the wrong sorts because they were fun and interesting.Then I was not reading philosophy and human nature.I thought
If I am good, nobody can tarnish me.
I was wrong .Evil does have great power if you let it enter.
[bctt tweet=”Behavior, character and your soul has an invisible light and perfume. #drAwrites #ThankfulThursdays #HWB” username=”misra_amrita”]
When you are good and happy, your soul shines with a golden light and people smile when you enter a room.When you spend time with the wrong type of people, those with whom you don’t agree, whose morals make you cringe, that golden light in your soul dies.Your perfume becomes like the smell of a closed room.Heavy and claustrophobic.You are doing something and your brain is sending you distress signs!
That’s not a good situation.Successful people make friends carefully and you should too.

Read below, what Aristotle says about friendship
Each type of friendship, to be an actual friendship, has the following attributes:
“To be friends, therefore, men must (1) feel goodwill for each other, that is, wish each other’s good, and (2) be aware of each other’s goodwill, and (3) the cause of their goodwill must be one of the lovable qualities like utility ,friendship and good.
Aristotle observes, “The perfect form of friendship is that between the good and those who resemble each other in virtue.

I love the idea of spreading positive stories of hope and inspiration.That’s why I started writing about blogging journeys.But today for the first day of, We are the world Blogfest ,I want to share with you a new story . A story about upliftment .
In the first post of this blog hop , I want to tell you about Ulrike and Janwaar castle.
Janwaar in Madhya Pradesh in India has India’s first skate park up. The woman behind it is the inspiring Ulrike Reinhard who has many feathers in her cap.
It’s designed as an open-ended the social experiment, where the people are not given money as aid .They are empowered.They are asked to learn something ,which in its turn is rewarded.Started with children ,this model is classic application of positive reinforcement ,acting as a motivator for learning
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
We are the World Blog fest:Teach a man to Fish
Credit is not known (Chinese, Native American, Italian, Indian, or Biblical. Sometimes it is linked to Lao-Tzu, Maimonides, or Mao Zedong. I love the principle of removing poverty and promoting self-sufficiency. But is it ever easy or full proof? The 12th-century philosopher Maimonides wrote about eight degrees in the duty of charity. In 1826 an analysis of the eighth degree was published in a journal called “The Religious Intelligencer”. Boldface has been added to excerpts:
Lastly, the eighth and the most meritorious of all, is to anticipate charity by preventing poverty, namely, to assist the reduced brother, either by a considerable gift or loan of money, or by teaching him a trade, or by putting him in the way of business, so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding up his hand for charity. . .
What Ulrike is trying through Janwaar castle is to teach these little children about life; lessons. But not directly.She knows life for them is not easy and choice impossible.But by being an example Ulrike is teaching these children, the future of the world the truth about life and living.About learning and doing.About walking the talk.
So what should we do?What can we do?
It’s not easy trying anything new anywhere in the world and even less in India.But should that stop us ? The world belongs to each of us.It’s our duty to each try, in our own space, with whatever time and resources we have, to make this world a better place.I am trying through my blog and through my profession.By choosing to stay in India.Maybe I am making a difference?Maybe not.!But at least I am trying!Are you trying?
Once upon a time, I started writing about successful women entrepreneurs.Women who tried.No matter what, they did whatever it took, to make their voice heard.Juggling home, family, love, life, and ambitions.
I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in South Kolkata.Life as a little girl was easy.What wasn’t easy was coming to terms with how life can stop you, just because you are a woman.Strange people have the guts to ask you even stranger questions.On my quest to find whether women from all walks were facing this , I started interviewing.Some were old friends, some new and others were yet to be friends.
One thing all women want is happiness.Not different from what everyone else wants right?
A study by Kelly Global Workforce Insights services has found a shocking truth.
Something which you and I already know.But is rarely openly discussed.It’s seen that women in STEM that is science, technology, engineering and mathematics jobs are leaving their high-profile careers at its peak.
There’s a lack of women in middle and higher up corporate positions.
Interestingly 46% of undergraduates in STEM branches are females.Few are visible higher up on the corporate ladder.
#Shocking truth
41% Women in STEM industries leave job after 10 years of service.
Why does this happen?
Gender inequality in Pay.
Discrimination in promotion and benefits during child-bearing years.
Hostility towards women who want to balance both home and career.
I made this resource on my blog to showcase all woman who wants to work, support their family, run a successful business

One to reach more people and spread health awareness
Two :to rediscover my self from the mess I was becoming.It was a match made in heaven.When God takes away something he gives much more back,Being a mommy bound me physically and emotionally to my daughter .But it also helped my mind fly.
Everything I see through her eyes is fresh and new,
Seeing her never giving up ,reinforces my belief in the human spirit.
So how do I keep the woman in me alive.
Listen carefully .
This is top secret .
But I am sharing with you today.
You choose well .Everything!
Choose your partner with care.I have known my hubby for 17 years .He has been my best friend for 15 years and husband for 9 .A very smart friend told me once
Amrita if not for Abhijit ,there’s few who can manage you?
Now tell me which grown woman wants to be managed?No one but you need a partner who ”gets you”!Men and women are two sides of this beautiful world.The happiest family is a balanced one
“The opposite of happiness isn’t sadness – it’s boredom” – Tim Ferris
That’s something I believe too.Little girls and women all want to have fun .When I became a mommy it was the beginning of the most magical adventure.A second chance of enjoying a carefree childhood .But it did mean cutting those coffee dates off the calendar.It also meant juggling a lot.While keeping the balls up the focus was so much on keeping them up, than on remembering what they meant to me.
Women for women:Keep the fire burning #WorldWomensDay
As a mom I am the heart and soul of our home.Travelling from one city to another working and taking care of everything makes spring cleaning the soul least important .But last year something happened. I went through a lot of downs to realize ,I should not waste one second regretting .The only thing I should do, is to say thank you and focus inside.Whats happening inside me as a woman, keeps me happy as a wife ,mom ,doctor!
As a very wise friend Deepa said
When things get rough ,take a step back.
That’s exactly what I did.Which battle is worth fighting for I realized as a woman I needed to get my act together .I have always been social .But as time passes I am selectively social.Life is too short to waste on things and people who don’t appreciate you .Its okay to have differing opinions.Agreeing to disagree and still being friends is a fine art.
As a woman I have realized I need to shop occasionally for pretty stuff to keep me happy.I even window shop online.The best part no one looks at you strangely.Worst part ,you get upteen mails from the ecommerce site .
Chatting with my girl friends over the phone at least once a week is a must.Old fiends are there for a reason,They knew you when you were still dreaming.You became friends just because you liked each other.With passing time you outgrow some ,but not all.Its a fact of life that you will only be intouch with people who are in the same place as you are.Its great to not have to wear a mask and just be me
So is my nonstop chatting with support system online.We gravitate toward people who have similar ethics and dreams.Making new friends and catching up with old ones are an integral part of my happy me.
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand.Its important you look at the mirror every morning and say you look beautiful and believe it.Until you believe no one else will.
I enjoy dressing up .My daughter looks apprehensive when I tell her I am wearing a saree.She thinks it makes us late for parties!Children they will think the strangest things.
I never stop self care.This part of the world has limited access to beauty parlour ,The ones there are I am afraid to step into.But I definitely take time to oil my hair and use the kitchen stuff to take good care for my skin and hair.Healthy body and mind is a beautiful me .That’s why I focus on eating healthy,exercising and practicing mindfulness my way.
On days when I feel sad for unknown reasons I put on lipstick at home while cooking,I feel like in a KJO movie.It helps.
I read to keep my brain happy .When I started reading I found a lifelong friend in my books.Whenever I go on book buying sprees,that’s when I remember the childhood experiences .I just need my rocking chair my bottle of water and a good book.!Heaven on earth!
I love exploring the creative side of me which comes from keeping the woman in me alive .I insist on enjoying time with my husband everyday. Even if it’s 2 hours at night after baby sleeps.
I support women .That’s why I started the mompreneurs blogging journey and #MondayMommyMoments.Helping other women ,is the best way to thank God everyday for making me a woman.How else could I have it all?
We are celebrating women on our blogs all this month .What are you doing to support women ?
