HELP YOUR FRIENDS WHO DO NOT KNOW YOU
There is no need to prove that animals understand us better than our fellow humans. You must be taking care of your Sweetie or Tommy. But what about extending help to Nandi or any other nameless animal roaming on the streets? Is grass enough to sustain? Does everyone like it? What about the ever-illuminating scorching heat?
If you want to help, money is never in the scenario. Take a bucket or any big pot and fill it with water. Keep that outside your house for animals to drink. For birds, you can arrange for a small container.
It is the best but too theoretical to ask you to make some extra rotis for animals. Imagine you had a party and your colleagues stuffed you with momos. Your mom had made you tiffin with utensils and love. Now what? If you eat it, you may puke it out. So, look for a cow or a dog on the street. Keep the food there with the utmost respect. At least her hard work is not a waste now. What if you had thrown the food in the dustbin? You would have gone home and thanked your mom with a sweet hug for the tiffin.
DON’T MAKE HER HAPPY
Spot an NGO. Maybe “Wishes and Blessings” or any other, and help with money in their noble initiatives. Do you have money? But what about her birthday? Will she be happy with a smaller diamond ring?
Don’t make her happy. Why settle with “happy” when you can make someone “happier”. Add one more carat to the previous plan. It isn’t sarcasm because money was never a necessity to help. You earn to see loved ones smiling.
Now that you are happy, look for noble organizations. Figure out their mode of helping people. Don’t bring your “I am useless” philosophy here. We all have something special!
You know Canva basics. Volunteer yourself with the intent of adding shine to their graphic work so that they can reach out to more. Even if your efforts help them bagging a single helper, you have got the badge of the “biggest helper” in your eyes.
Are you a shayar? Why not mix social issues with your mesmerizing words? If you can, come up with some eye-dropping 2 liners for a campaign helping children!
What if you had the most valuable cash? The cash of “networking”. You may not tread on Instagram. LinkedIn is your playground. Would you like to play Cupid for us?
STOP HELPING THE POOR
It is a Monday, a typical “why don’t you disappear” Monday. You are already late and there is a fuss at the traffic signal. The radio is not your friend anymore. The “not so cool” songs are dampening your patience.
A girl comes to your car window and asks for a two-rupee coin. It’s not much for you! You open the window say “no” to her!
Open your dashboard and give a tiny packet of parle-g. It may not help to complete her daily target. It will allow you to step into a realm called “greater good”. It will give you strength and an inner smile to listen to the yells of your boss.
You may have found this advice a bit controversial. But the fact is that any child is not entitled to beg. It is not sad if you can step up and fight for them. If you can’t help them in that way, take this other route of “not helping them”
FREE – THE NEW NORM
Type “Instagram” in your play store. There will be no option to install. You will see an option to open the app. 2 minutes if you need to click on register. 20 seconds if you want to click on sign in.
Don’t ever think that you are nothing.
“You are everything you will need in this life to call your life a life”.
Is it a matter of worry if you think you are worthless? No.
Is it a matter that you are not doing anything to break this myth? Yes.
This pandemic is a big blow to our already burdened lives. So, taking a day off and thinking about how to fight the “We were on a break” argument is cool! Sorry for this small TED talk. Let us come to social media. You may not realize the value of “share” but it is the most powerful tool. It is a bit moody but effective!
Share the leads of “Covid beds and hospitals”. They must be from respected and trustworthy organizations. Share happy incidents and spread positivity. Imagine one of your “not so close” friends sees your story and his “flowing from morning” tears roll back!
