Breathing is not being alive!

We are not dead when we stop breathing. We are dead when we stop living!

I see so many people around me having a bright smile but eyes full of sorrow. I feel so sad for them. I can totally empathise with the. For, there are days when I too am one of them. Being honest!

But, just like the moon waxes and wanes, just like the seasons change, just like high tide and low tide, we too must change. We must know in our hearts that good times are coming and cheer ourselves. 

But, how do we stay happy for longer times? How do we make happiness our true nature? How do we find inner strength to overcome outer adversities without losing peace of mind?

There are tons of literature available that helps us attain peace and tranquility but it needs our conviction and courage. The courage to not follow the majority. The courage to be different. The courage to stand alone. The courage to ask for God's help and forgiveness and guidance. The courage to face our fears.

I'm sure as Buddha said we all can become Bodhosatvas provided we are ready to make some changes in our lives and stay in control of our happiness.

May God help us all, find our IKIGAI and Nirvana. 🙏

Just as the birds are happiest when their wings kiss the sky Just as the babies sleep blissfully Listening to their mother's lullaby You complete me Just as the butterflies blissfully suckle at the flowers Just as the lovers stare at the window of their love for hours You complete me Just as the earth devotedly revolves around the sun Just as the seven colours in sunlight Become one You complete me You are the poetry my soul has been seeking for years Your laughter and smiles brings me Fresh happy tears Together we are complete and strong Together we can make right all that's wrong You complete me Be with me forever till I'm alive Breathe with me & never leave my side Complete my life and stay in there forever fill my soul with happiness and pride You complete me

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...

How can #brands #incentivise #consumers on #socialmedia #performance

Social media is here to stay and will only get stronger. The consumers on social media have tasted blood with the knowledge that they have the power to run or ruin brand reputation. That brands cannot take their consumers for granted. I'm sure it is worrying a lot of marketeers that now they are not in control. Well, at least not fully. So how can things change for the better? How can we reach a win win situation for both the brands and customers. How can brands incentivise their loyal customers for spreading positive word of mouth? The solution that comes to my mind is : PPP or acronym for pay per promotion. To elaborate, let's assume that someone retweets a brands post and is able to get 1000 retweets on the post. The brand can decide a certain sum that could be paid to the consumers depending on a rate determined by the brand and mutually agreed upon by the brand and the consumers. There could be a concept of an auction where every consumer could pick to choose which bran...
