Friendship Day Thoughts

 




Friendship Day is the best day to let your friends know how much you need and love them. The best way to celebrate this day is to spend quality time with them.

In these busy days, relations are often forgotten and with the everyday hustle we make easy friends like colleagues who are easily accessible and tend to forget the long term  relations. These special days give us an opportunity and act as a reminder for us to take our time out and spend with the people who make us happy and be with those where we can be ourselves.  It is a real stress buster and a much-needed mental vacation where we can recollect old memories, pause responsibilities, be our crazier selves, ignite our humor sense and comeout of the day with strengthened relationships, and a mental massage.

For celebrations we all like less planning and more action so here are some of my ways which can ease up your planning.

For people who miss or cant meet remind you miss them by sending cute surprises like greeting cards, e cards, flowers or chocolates 

Walkthrough the memory lane - Gather all the old memories between your friends like photos of a tour, First meetups, important milestones and try to get the physical copies and decorate it throughout the house/party area. Take some photos by recreating the old ones which you want to keep as a memory. In your playlist identify the trending songs of your time in various languages, genre and keep the findings as rare as possible. 

Create a themed party it can be on costumes/classroom theme etc. to bring back the nostalgia and try to invite a favorite outsider to the group (favorite senior/junior, Hostelmate, common friends etc.). Enjoy a sport/game which you used to often play during your days. Also if possible plan a Karaoke,  build a fort, go for a movie marathon


Have a good talk with all your friends, share your hardships, well being, milestones and achievements in your life to maintain the connection.

Create a sense of strength that can be exhibited as a group in your peers and enjoy the day so that you fondly remember it till the next meetup

Kerala - God's Own Country

Kerala is a very scenic state with beautiful people all around and you can't get satisfied with just one visit (got the source of your idea Lays :P). The way they preserve their nature and culture and leverage the awesome backwaters is what makes it more special and gives us a lot of memories that will be cherished forever.        Road Trip to Kerala- This was one of the most Awesome journeys I've experienced so far... Within one month of purchasing life's first car and a newly learned driver (L board :P) we decided to go on a road trip by car. Was tensed a bit, but the recently built Bangalore - Mysore expressway made life easy. We were travelling to Wayanad during a good rainy day and passed through Bandipore forest.  As time passed by we were gaining confidence in my Husband's driving and got indulged in beautiful nature.  We were taking breaks wherever we see a good scenic view and had long chats since there was no disturbance of smartphones & TV or...

Financial Independence

Image
  I have seen a recent advertisement with a very catchy line "Don't work for the money, Make the money work for you" It is the base for achieving financial independence. You can get promotions and grow your salary but with salary, you can never achieve financial independence. A 4 Cr bank balance can give you a revenue of 24 Lakh per annum which is a common CTC of the IT industry.  Imagine a life where you can live the way you want without worrying about the payment of bills or managing an emergency expense. It begins with control, a balance in an account can't be treated as purchase capacity but as an investment to earn more. While I'm not against consumerism but we need to have our own limits basis for our financial goals Here are a few key points to achieving financial independence 1) Treat trading as a science, not luck 2) Understand where you stand currently 3) Track your spending (add as many categories of spending as possible) 4) Try to put your money in div...

Effective Communication For Climbing the Corporate Ladder

Image
Effective communication goes beyond just speaking English. It involves expressing our ideas in a clear and concise manner, supported by facts and references. While English is a common business language, it's not important to develop high language skills as if giving a sports commentary or writing an editorial. In corporate communication, it's helpful to understand different templates for different types of communication, such as a simple email receipt acknowledgment, notification email, or update email. To improve communication skills, practice is essential. Writing blogs and getting feedback from peers can help gauge the quality of content. Presenting to friends and family, regardless of aesthetics, can help understand timing and comprehension. Don't let fear of humiliation hold you back, as even non-native speakers can face ridicule for pronunciation. It's important to develop a thick skin and not let others bring you down.  Here are some key points to improve communi...
