How to resist BULLYING?
In a group of fifteen to twenty adults or class of thirty to forty students one often experiences bullying and sometimes even becomes the butt of all jokes. What starts as playful joking and teases sometimes, unfortunately takes the course of something more severe- BULLYING.

No matter how hard the teacher or the counselor tries to educate about the consequences, who really cares for it? Not every person pays heed and as a result, a negative attitude prevails and floats around the group thus, not only spoiling the environment but also the mood of everyone around.

Such a situation arose in front of one such teacher, and how he tackled the situation to turn it down right positive is a lesson for all.

He understood a positive encouragement goes a long way and that it can not only help to build character but, it may also foster a spirit of belonging to each other. So, he began by giving ten minutes to each student, reminding them personally how special they were. He would bring a student to him and tell the child every good thing that he could see in them.

His compliments slowly began to leave a lasting impression on one and all and soon he noticed that children became more receptive to each other’s inherent goodness. They soon began to naturally share compliments with each other. This idea of supporting and encouraging each other to achieve more attracted one and all. They realized the thrill of finding joy in each other’s victories.

Same story can be applied in case of our dear soul. The constant bullying we do it without actually knowing the effects of it; be it for a body image or a distant dream or an unfulfilled goal, does pinch our soul. It does make it loose its blissful luster.

Now, a gloomy soul cannot light up the outside world. Only our inner light can do that. We need that inner light. It is most powerful though most fragile to comprehend. Maybe we should also try complimenting ourselves more and thus, build ourselves to become who we want to be.

If we cannot do it for real, then we must at least begin with ourselves virtually on Wishzee?

Top 7 Rules of FRIENDSHIP
In this big world, having a friend means having a shoulder to rest your head. Friends not only complete our lives but they truly make life worth living and full of adventure.

They encourage us to dream and believe in the impossible.

Some may disagree but, for me, friendship walks hand in hand with Family because our friends are the family we choose to spend our life and the most blissful part of this journey is when our friends and families gel together effortlessly.

A treat for the heart!

Thus, it can rightly be said-

No matter where and how busy one is, a friend that is like family brings one to home; and to Wishzee!

The golden rule of friendship has always been to be yourself but, here are a few more rules that will help you to have lasting Friendship in all fields of life:

Rule 1: If your heart feels your friend needs you, then chances are highly that he/she actually needs you. A little care never harmed anyone. Go out for coffee.

Rule 2: Always listen emphatically and when things go too heavy, add in a joke here and there. Laughter is the best medicine after all.

Rule 3: Don’t be brutally honest when your friend asks for an opinion. It’s always best to show both sides of the picture and let your friend make the decision.

Rule 4: Compliment truthfully. It might just be his/her need today but, don’t go over the top.

Rule 5: Be comfortable with silence. Your friend might be in need of a time out so don’t panic if he/she has gone silent. Just let him/her just be… They’ll thank you later.

Rule 6: Not every friend may be like you, so respect the differences and celebrate the similarities.

Rule 7: Chuck the rules, live crazy! Just follow your heart, friends who want to stay with will stay no matter what and those who don’t… don’t deserve you.

Checklist: How much do you adore your puppy?
Our furry babies are the dancing sparkling stars of our soul who emit only light and lightness that guides us to become better human beings. They are the sunshine laden unicorns of our homes whose rainbow tails knock everything down. They make us smile instantaneously with their abrupt head-tilts and get us worried by the slightest change in their moods for-

hand in hand we go! Are we really that crazy about them?

So, here is a little check list for all the Doggy Mommas and all the Doggy Daddies in the house! Let’s find out how crazy we really are! {Please do a mind check and a count of the activities you DO at the back of your mind as you keep scrolling.

It will come handy at the end of the blog. Thanks!}

• Despite all having told you not to share your food with the dog, you always, always, ALWAYS leave the last bite of your bread for him. After all, your meal will not feel complete unless you’ve not shared it with him.

• You take your Pooch along whenever you have to think over something. It just makes more sense with him being there for you.

• You might be running super late but that doesn’t mean you’d walk out of the door without giving those twinkling eyes upon cold nose a soft kiss. And, some days you’d follow it with a hug or vice-versa or both! :*

• You let him climb into your bed just because you don’t want him to feel alone. And, yes, dragging him to bed while he is full asleep counts as the same thing. He was alone, in his dreams, that counts too!

• You have to, have to, always have to look out to where he is looking at. Even that matters! He could be pointing you to something…

• Your heart starts happy dancing whenever you catch him winking at you. Of course, you follow it with a wink back because that is after all a code for ‘I love you the most’

• You run to him to hug him whenever you feel overwhelmed with worries. You need that kind of support from him.

• You take selfies with just to see and measure how much he has grown. Yea, yea, and because you two look so adorable together. He is your pride and you don’t shy from showing him off to the world. He is just so perfect after all.

• Now, you’ve forgotten how many times you mind-checked this entire list! Ha! Gotcha!

I am sure there must have been many things that you would have found missing and for that I request you to jot them down in a comment. Our pooches unite us and for that we should be ever thankful to them. Lets be a gift to each other! Sending love to all your furry babies.

You’re my inspiration! Oh and if you enjoyed the post then please do share it forward. Thanks for reading!

Say this to yourself-

Fruity Nutty Payasam (Indian Kheer)
Tired of making healthy food for your children and they still run away from their plates?

Don’t worry dear mommies for here is a recipe which is highly nutritious and super delicious! Also, you can easily make this at home. It is the:

Fruity Nutty Payasam!


 * Drum roll*

Oh, and this recipe is inspired from multi talented Vikas Khanna’s Sweet Payasam recipe that I watched on a run. It was a week day and my husband was taking time to get ready so, I began browsing the channels until I landed upon this recipe. At first, I wasn’t much open to trying it but, one day I had no flour in the home and I had four mouths to feed, so, yeah..

The core ingredient of this recipe is milk and don’t we all know that milk contains lots of growth boosting Vitamins and strength building Iron?

So shouldn’t we all attempt this recipe at least once? Do I hear a ‘Yes’? Okay then, here is the recipe and some tips from my side to make it tastier.

I Am Happy Today Preparation Time: 30 minutes Max

Ingredients-

	2 teaspoons ghee or refined oil 	3 tablespoon brown rice

	1 litre milk 	1 packet any brand oats

	1/4 cup sugar (or as per taste)

	1 teaspoon green cardamom powder 	3-4 chopped cashew nuts or pistachios (optional) 	6-8 saffron threads (optional) 	2 teaspoons raisins (optional) How to make?

Firstly I soaked the saffron threads in one tablespoon of warm milk and set them aside on my kitchen platform. Then I began to heat the ghee/oil in a non stick pan to lightly cook the cashew nuts and raisins. Once they turned Golden Brown I set them aside, next to the Saffron threads. Then I poured 1 litre milk in a thick bottomed pan, add brought it to boil. Once the milk had boiled, I then added the brown rice and cooked it on low flame. I allowed the rice to simmer in the Milk by stirring continuously, till the rice cooked nicely.

I noticed the milk had reduced to 1/3rd of its original quantity. I took it as a sign to add the sugar and oats. I mixed it all really well, crushing the rice lightly while I stirred and stirred.

Once I felt satisfied with the Payasam’s thickness I added the cardamom powder and saffron-flavoured milk over it, and gave it another stir. I garnished the dish with the fried cashew nuts and raisins, and gave it a light mix with a spatula to not spoil its character.

I served it hot to my father-in-law but, kept it to chill for my children who had then not returned from school. You can have it as and how you like.

You can garnish it with Almonds, Hazel nuts, Strawberries or any other fruit that your child likes. Mine savoured the chilled Payasam with small chunks of ripe Mangoes and Bananas.

It was a winner in my kitchen and I hope it rocks in your household too! Do let me know how this awesomely healthy dish was welcomed in your kitchen.

Have a nice day and thanks for reading. Looking forward to your comments.

I appreciate you!

How to escape from the ‘Negative thoughts’ monster?
Have you ever felt the strange fear-like feeling in your stomach whenever you decide to something for the betterment of yourself, your life or your family?

Now, have you ever been that courageous to gulp it down and walk ahead in stride towards the life of your dreams?

I understand I am asking you two entirely different questions that are like two sides of coin so of course you would be finding it hard to make your choice right now and here. But, trust me my friend this hesitant, squeamish and extremely useless feeling is nothing, really nothing at all other than negative distraction that negative thoughts bring along.

It is all the play of your mind where good and bad fight day and night to make their place more prominent. It’s all Yin-Yang.

According to ancient yin yang psychology, darkness and light function harmoniously together, lending an individual the sole power to choose which side to see, feel and put forth.

It reflects on individuals to have two dominant sides- the good and the evil; where in the good rests a part of evil likewise, in the evil rests a part of goodness. Both thriving with each other, complimenting each other, yet also fighting with each other,  all and all just to complete the big circle of life; this is Yin Yang.

Here is a little Senryu to reflect upon-

Good-bad, tit-tat; no Dove evil kiss good to miss? Scales screech I’m-balance ― aabhie

It all lies within us to decide which force to take control in our heart and mind. Only we can allow negative distraction reach us and only we can overcome it. One has to strive towards Making Today Matter.

Let me elaborate with the help of the example of a swimmer, who faces these two thoughts on nearing the swimming pool.

“What if I forget how to swim?”

“Will I be successful in my dive or will I face palm myself on the water?

You know what would be the appropriate way to beat these two distractive thoughts? It is simple- Just take a long breath and jump! Because negative distraction is nothing but, the play of our mind pulling us back so that we don’t discover our true selves. One needs to be strong and remind oneself that things will work out!

Here are a few exercises that one should do whenever you get hoarded with bad thoughts or negatively distractive feelings:

First and foremost, please don’t ever nag yourself for feeling negative for it is but natural and take it rather as a challenge that will award you with immense satisfaction and pleasure once you’ve overcome it.

Take a 30 second break from whatever you are doing begin with long breaths. When you will give yourself some moment to think straight you will reach much better and effective conclusions.

Next, try counting to 15 and if you still don’t feel light enough then head outside to take a short brisk walk to further clear your head. Remember, negative thoughts are only clutter that you caused by accident.

Remain in the moment and remind yourself that one has no control over the future. Predictions and presumptions are not worthwhile if they cause you much trouble. Enjoy the present it is a gift!

Practice positive affirmation to fight those persistent, nasty thoughts. You need to recognise how wonderful you are, just as you are! Say this-

I Am Happy Today!

If your negative distractions are some people, or places or things, then ignore these triggers and try to look at life beyond them.

Lastly, always fill up your free time with things that you absolutely love to do. Remember when you are happy from within nothing can reach you.

Let’s live a day following our kids’ footsteps
Enough. Am I your son or are you mine? Listen to me and don’t try to be my Dad!”

When was the last time you said this to your child?

And, when was the last time you told them:

I Appreciate You??

Why don’t we as adults realize that our children have been born in a different generation and for many situations they can be well prepared than us? Our children can be our teacher sometimes and yes, we actually can learn a lot them, like these following traits:

• Sensitivity: Children are more sensitive than adults. They just always know how to laugh and how much to laugh and even if they get laughed upon, they enjoy that too!

• Receptive: Children have a strong Sixth sense by which they can feel when to run or when to hide from some suspicious/strange people whom they don’t like. They are extremely spontaneous. Whenever they meet friendly grown-ups they become more spontaneous.

• Ever Curious: Children have an eager eye for everything around them. They are curious by nature. For example to see a clock they will eager to know that how it works and what it needle’s use for. They want to know about everything they see at home or around themselves.

• Excitement: Everything is forever new and exciting to them. Adults might not want to know about any kind of rocks, beetles and mice. But children? They can tell all and with so much enthusiasm!

• Ability to Enjoy: Adults have forgotten what a beautifully wonderful our planet is! Children however cannot stop exploring it! They enjoy every moment of their childhood.

• Acceptance: Children can be extremely accepting by nature. They show their interest to receive any kind of thing or information to others. They don’t judge things and info on basis of usage and need.

• Simplicity: They are not biased with anything happened to them or others like rich or poor, black or white and beautiful or ugly etc. For them all is just well or all is not. No middle way. They don’t care about your status that what you are? They like a person for who the person is, not for what material things the person has.

• Determination: If they want to do anything or they want something, they don’t sit quietly until they don’t complete what they want to or get whatever they want. They have an excellent determination. If they demand for ice-cream, they only rest once they get it. And, lastly we might have forgotten our childhood but, these children? They are the learning that we need to succeed at every level of life. They are the means for us to become better and happier. They are God sent for us to relive all forgotten emotions and to learn how to:

Laugh At Yourself Silly

Let’s pledge to value them and nurture them with all the love and care we possibly can!

Let’s be a gift to each other.

Our Meals’ Best Friend- Salt
Hello everyone, We Should Be Friends

And, guess what? I am back with another article! Today I intend to educate you about something that is most important in a meal– SALT.

Salt has forever been and continues to dispensable to life as not only taste enhancer but also as a food preservative. But, did you know how much danger it can cause if not consumed carefully? Let me begin by listing the various types of Salt-

1. Sea salt- Sea salt which is basically unrefined salt derived from seawater through the process of evaporation or from rock salt. It can be thicker than normal table salt we mostly use. It is harvested in almost all places in the world, but there are a few exceptions.

2. Himalayan salt-100% natural and unrefined, this salt is harvested only in the foothills of the Himalayas and is basically solidified sea salt. The magnesium particles lend it a gorgeously sweet pink color. It is very rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron.

3. Iodized Table salt– Our best friend in the kitchen. It is called Iodized because it is formulated with iodine that helps in fighting from different type of diseases like Hypothyroidism or Goiter.

4. Pickling salt- Used mainly in pickles as it sticks excellently well to food but, since it is not iodized it cannot replace the table salt.

5. Kosher salt- This salt is called kosher salt because it is used in preparation of kosher meat. It has much larger, irregular-shaped, and thicker crystals.

6. Black salt- This salt has a pinkish-grey color and it is also popularly known as Himalayan black salt. It is mined in India and contains a strong sulfuric smell. It is commonly used to add zing to spicy food and also used as medicine for indigestion.

The dangers of consuming excess Salt:

Here I list some critical issues which can be caused by excess salt intake, please note:

When you eat too much processed foods, or kindly sprinkle salt on meals, renders you at a higher risk of developing hypertension, also known as high blood pressure.

Causes obesity.

Salt in excess leads to high blood pressure, which is a huge risk factor for stroke.

Damages the arteries which later sees them becoming completely blocked or even burst thus, causing a heart attack.

Stomach cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer death in the whole world. Hence, too much salt can ruin your life completely. So, be conscious towards your health and take salt in proper quantities. I wish you all to be always healthy and wealthy. Do say this to yourself often- I Am Happy Today!

Let’s visit Uttarakhand, India with WishZee!
Hello friends! Yes, IAmHappyToday! How did you guess? Today I’m going to bring the beauty of Uttarakhand, India right to you. Uttarakhand is the land of awe-inspiring scenic beauty and melancholic spirituality. It boasts of its fascinating view of the Himalayas, and cultural spirit that speaks of it simplistic living. It is here that nature and man co-exist in harmony and to top it all, it is the availability of various exciting excursions and adventure sports that this land offers, that make it a tourist favorite! Once can’t miss any of the experiences ranging from water sports to the ashrams where you can connect with your inner self and bring peace into you. Uttarakhand has the lot in store for any tourist who is brave enough to face the heights of the Himalayas, crazy enough to sail on its snowflakes, and intense enough to explore himself/herself to the max. With so many superb places to visit in Uttarakhand, there’s no reason you should be a part of the urban grind for more than two months at a stretch! The top three tourist favorites are: Nainital

Nainital- the sparkling jewel in the Himalayan necklace is blessed with picturesque beauty and abundant natural resources. This place is full of Dotted lakes; and is also referred to as the ‘Lake District‘ of India. The most noticeable of the lakes is Naini Lake, which is ringed by numerous hills. Some of the important places in the Nainital district are, Haldwani, Kaladhungi, Ramnagar, Bhowali, Ramgarh, Mukteshwar, Bhimtal, Sattal and Naukuchiatal. And a most important fact; Nainital’s endless expense of scenic beauty is nothing short of a romance with breathtaking and pristine Mother Nature. The lush green sight of Nainital offers a mesmerizing view of the Himalayan ranges. One can enjoy the trekking trails in Ranikhet, go trekking, and visit the Nainital zoo and Naini Lake and you can also enjoy the wildlife sanctuary and the wonderful climate of hill station, or go camping in the main sight of the location, the list of things to do here is endless. It is an ideal destination for Honeymoon couples, office goers, couples and families. Best time to visit here is from April to June and ideal duration can be 4 to 5 days. One thing you must know about that Nainital does not have direct access the air connectivity so the nearest railway station is located at a distance of 34 km at Kathgodham.

Mussoorie, Dehradun

Located at a distance of 35 kilometers from Dehradun, Mussoorie, famous as the Queen of the Hills is one of the most gorgeous hill stations of Uttarakhand. It is situated at a height of 2005 mts above the sea level and at the foothills of the Himalayas. Its name originates from the plants of Mussoorie or flowering shrub mansoor, which are available in large quantities in this district. In Mussoorie, there are several interesting tourist places like ‘The Mall’ road which covers from Cloud’s end in the west to Rockville in the east. It gives you an amazing feeling of the old world charm, and is intensified by the presence of the Municipalgarden, the Tibetan School and Home, and the National Academy of Administration. Mussorie is a popular cool summer camp place in India and the climate is also cool and pleasant all through the year here. One can enjoy the ropeway on the second highest peak of Mussoorie, the Gun Hill, where one can enjoy the eye-conic view of the Himalayan ranges. The wonderful 4km stretch from Kurli Bazaar to Library Point called the Camel’s Back Rock is an outstanding experience whether you travel on horseback or simply walk. Furthermore, while in Mussoorie, one must visit the Kempty Falls which is 15kms from Mussoorie on way to Yamunotri, at an altitude of 4500 ft. It is noticeable that the best season to visit Mussoorie is March to June and September to November.

Rishikesh, Haridwar

Lastly, another place you must absolutely visit in Uttarakhand is the adventure capital–Rishikesh and pilgrim capital–Haridwar. Haridwar is the place of enchanting by rustic touch and spiritual while Rishikesh is the adventure capital of India; where Haridwar is for the mildness and religion, Rishikesh is ideal for everyone like friends, couples and families. You can take part in the Ganga aarti in Haridwar, a holy dip in the river Ganga, go for a boat ride, eat the local delicacies and talk to the spiritual gurus. You must visit the ashrams in Rishikesh; go for water sports adventures and trekking up in the hills. The best time to visit here anytime of the year is good except monsoons and ideal duration of 3 to 4 days. Nearest airport from Rishikesh is in Dehradun and trains connect both Rishikesh and Haridwar.

Promises that I make to myself daily: Be Truthful
I promise to always tell the truth:

Do you know an average person tells approximately 20 lies a day! Surprised much?

We have become so accustomed to telling lies that we don’t really sit to ponder how many lies we say during a day. Think about it- Do we ever think twice about the implications or the karma a typical lie like this can cost: “No, he is not available at the moment.”?

Do we actually feel sorry when we say, “Oh I am so sorry to hear about your loss”?

No? Not always? See, what we have become? Our incessant lying has caused us to doubt ourselves and everybody around. Don’t we laugh it off when an aspiring candidate makes promises to us? Don’t we roll our eyes when our HR head assures us that our check has been delivered and can be found by us in our mail? Really, don’t we?

How many of us would be fine with cheating in an important exam that would cost us a year? I am certain at least half would agree because a year is too costly to lose, right?

Look at us, rationalizing our reason to cheat!

Isn’t this also a lie we are inflicting on ourselves? If a medical student cheated in his exam and cleared ever wondered the danger his qualification will bring upon his patients? Yet, we lie.

Where have the principles of honesty, transparency, truth disappeared? With such an environment what kind of leaders are we going to bring into the world?

What will become of our world?

Yes, telling the truth can cost much and yes it might hurt the feelings of those relying on us but, isn’t it better to live with the truth than to deal with a lie all life long?

Are you ready to carry that much load all throughout your life? Shouldn’t we be a bit kind to our soul?

Kindness Matters Always

Now, there are some who would argue saying that their truth is truth and it is only just a matter of perspective. That is also a lie for truth requires no perspectives to prove its stand. When one tells the truth, lightness and positivism flows in to their soul and they really don’t care of all the questions their truth unleashes because to them the truth is what they will follow irrespective of anything.

With time, such people earn attention from people who label these truth speakers as their inspiration. Yes, truth brings with it respect and though in some cases the respect might come in late but, isn’t respect earned- true respect?

Don’t we all want to be an inspiration to others? Earn respect of friends and family? Be called out to offer advice?

Yes? Well then, let’s us begin by being truthful, to one and all; without excluding our own selves. Let us take do a little pledge to our inner self that neither will we lie to another nor will lie to ourselves irrespective of whatever the result might be because we deserve to live without all the heaviness that lying brings with it.

Our soul deserves unadulterated peace for it to shine most brightly. Do you agree?
