Being a working woman

A sip of my favorite cafe mocha at Starbucks, the place is little crowded, loud English music is going on, and I am writing a thought that came into my mind just after talking with my friend. I had a great talk with her after a long time, but I was little worried that is she the same person with whom I graduated? She was a class topper, intelligent, knowledgeable and passionate girl during my college. During today's talk, I came to know that after marriage she chose to be a homemaker. As she was very career-oriented, I wanted to know the reason behind this decision, as she does not have any problem from in-laws side, like other conservative Indian families. But, she simply said that "my husband is well capable/wealthy enough of fulfilling each and everything that she wish to have. So, why I waste my time in job or business?"

Is doing job or business a time waste? I didn't expect this reply from her side, but she was happy and enjoying her family life. I am also not against to be a homemaker, but I don't agree with the reason that she gave to me. Not doing a job just because you are rich enough, and being happy to be a dependable person. It's not my cup of tea. My point is doing something gives individual satisfaction or happiness. If you are a homemaker then also, you are in a full-time job but not to do another job because you do not have any money problem is wrong. It is tough to understand for me. Is feeling of having individual identity, confidence, motivation, independence are nothing? My job gives me these all things, and I think it matters more.

Yes, being a woman sometimes it is tough to manage home and work both. But many a times, I feel happy that I did something good, I learnt something new, I met someone who came up with new ideas. I feel pleased after cracking a deal, using my creativity in a positive way, I fail, I pass, complete the projects, clients are happy with my work, the boss give me compliments, etc. The satisfaction of being a productive citizen of a growing Nation is a big thing for me. These all things means a lot for me. I chose to be a working woman is for me, and I am enjoying it. :)

My Review - Big basket vs Grofers

Sitting on the couch at my home, I was enjoying my morning tea and talking with my husband. Also side by side I was ordering grocery from my mobile app. As my Saturdays are also working, so I just get Sunday to finish up whole-house work and grocery shopping is one of those works.

I remember the time when I used to go out for household shopping. My maximum time of weekend went for purchasing & arranging the things that are important for coming week like; vegetables, fruits, pulses, dairy products, breakfast meals, floor cleaner, etc. It's a never ending list. I am heartiest thankful for the online shopping market or eCommerce platform who solve this thing and give us a little more time to spend with our dear ones.

But why I am talking about before and after effect of eCommerce? It is because that I want to explain that as time changes, the business model also changes. Today I am using two platforms for my household shopping including grocery. One is Big basket and second one is Grofers

My experience with both


Big basket

Pros -
  • User-Friendly App
  • All the things in one platform
  • Time slot options
  • Exotic vegetables & fruits are also available
  • Chopped veggies & fruits also available
  • Discount points on every purchase 
  • If do not available then the Notify option
  • Cash on delivery option is available
  • Rs. 1000 above delivery is free

Cons -
  • Sometimes do not get fresh vegetables & fruits
  • Don't give same day delivery 
  • Don't have any other offers on purchase
  • Rs. 1000 is too high for getting free home delivery
  • Chopped veggies & fruits are not fresh; They are frozen
  • Need to improve product packaging

Grofers

Pros -
  • Delivery within 90 minutes
  • A good mobile app that searches your location for delivering the items from nearby shop or store.
  • All the things in one platform
  • I find veggies are fresh, but fruits are ok
  • Attractive offers and discounts like; in rainy season they give umbrellas to customers
  • If not like the product, refund policy
  • Cash on delivery option is available 
  • Product packaging is good
  • Free home delivery

Cons -
  • Do not provide chopped veggies & fruits
  • Fruits weren't of great quality

Conclusion - For me Grofers is a better option, because it gives free home delivery and takes only 90 minutes.

Happy Independence Day

Yesterday, I saw some people who were selling Indian Flags on the signal. Mostly this activity I see only on two dates, one is 26th January and second is 15th August. Considering tomorrow is Independence day, therefore I can see celebrations all around.

But, do we know the meaning of independence? Independence means freedom - Freedom for thinking, freedom for speaking, freedom for living, freedom for taking education, etc. As I am an Indian, I am born & brought up here, I see many people of India still do not have the freedom that I mention above. Don't you think wearing flag color clothes as a dress code, decorating schools, colleges & offices as orange, white & green, playing loud music or purchasing the flags from roadsides are not enough? Yes, it is not enough!



Let's start the celebration of independence from our inside. Our thoughts should be free, each & every person should have freedom to get the education, can speak for truth, can laugh as loud as he/she can, can take breath in the air of invulnerability, etc. These all true colors of our nation is real independence. 

India is a beautiful country with an admirable history. Today, we feel proud to say that I am an Indian because our past was strong. Many brave soldiers died with a smile for our nation. All freedom fighters had same dream. Now it is the duty of each Indian to make our nation as our freedom fighters dreamed about.

Wish you all Happy Independence Day. May all the great things come in our way, and our country do progress every day.

JaiHind!

Anger and You - You Can Choose To Be Happy

"For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind." 
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

A 14-year-old boy killed his parents while they were sleeping. Parents mistake was that they punished him because he failed in final exams. It was news that I read in the new paper, but there are so many other cases also. When I was reading this news at that time, I notice one common thing in all crime news that is 'Anger'. Why it is happening? 

According to one survey, Anger is harmful and a kind of slow poison. Starting from the less and it becomes a habit. Medical science also has a proven data that anger creates so many side-effects to an individual.   

Headache, digestion problems, such as abdominal pain, insomnia, increased anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart attack stroke, skin problems, such as eczema, etc. These all are some physical effects of anger. Let's leave all the physical effect have ever thought about our relations. Anger takes all the healthy relations far from us for making those relationships we might do alot of hard work. Relations gives us happiness, and it's an important part of our life.

If everything is negative about the anger then 'why we all get angry'? I think it is normal human nature. But even if this is a natural process, but it gives that much side-effects then I believe that we should try to remove it from our life or atleast try to reduce it. 

Now next challenge is, how we can eliminate it from our inside? Here, I want to give some tips that will help you in controlling your unwanted anger -

  • First & a significant activity, honestly promise yourself that you will change and that you will discover ways to deal with your feelings. It is a long term commitment.
  • Do meditation or yoga.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Give yourself some time to think - when you're angry rather than reacting immediately take some time and do the activities that you like. Listen to good music or do what you like most. 
  • Share your feeling & talk about the reason of your anger. 
  • My last tip is to get enough sleep.


These are some small changes in your daily life can remove or reduce anger. Believe me that you will be the happiest person if you remove anger from you. Without anger, life can become more beautiful.

What Does Your Name Mean?

It's a yesterday's case, and I was in the office. One Russian client was in our office for discussing a project so we all project members were in the conference room. I was going to present all the features of the project. After the presentation, we were sitting together and sipping the coffee. In between some general talks he (client) asked me 'What is the meaning of your name?' I just replied Sir Khushboo means Fragrance. He smiled and said it is a lovely name. After goodbye formalities, I was in my cabin.
I went in my flashback memories that once I asked my mother that same question, and she said it meant Aroma, and God send you for spreading the aroma of happiness. 

Now, I wanted to know deeper meaning of my name. So, I searched on Google 'The meaning of my name'. 




First Result -

EXTREMES in fortune, health and spirituality. You are very versatile, idealistic and intuitive. Emergencies may raise your intuitive abilities in order to resolve conflict or situation. You become very creative under the pressure, and have quite original ideas to make the best out of it. You desire to inspire and lead, to control other's affairs. You are giving, courageous and bold, action oriented, energetic and strong willed. You want to make a difference in the world, and this attitude often attracts you to cultural interests, politics, social issues, and the cultivation of your creative talents.


Second Result -














Third Result -

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are loyal, and people can count on you.

And many more results were there. I felt very happy after reading 3-4 interesting replies by Google. All are very nicely written with sugar coated words. I was already in love with my name, and now I was more. ;)

At the end, I believe whatever someone's name means, it doesn't matter. Our name is our identity, and we should be proud of it.

I think it should have been my first blog, but this idea comes to my mind just now. So, let's start with my name 'Khushboo'. For knowing the meaning of my name click here. I am a Jaipurian. but I spent less time in Jaipur, as my educational life went in the hostel, and I thoroughly enjoyed hostel fun. I am also familiar with Mumbai because mostly my childhood vacations went in Mumbai. Now I am happily settled in Pune.

I have a full-time job as a Digital Marketer, and I love what I do! I also enjoy putting my views in writing. I am a learner, and sometimes I feel that I am born for writing. I remember I used to write small poems & stories in my notebook during school & college time lectures. I like to be busy, but my favourite timepass is sleeping, and I firmly believe in this quote - Sleep is the best meditation. -Dalai Lama. 
I can compromise my sleep only in one condition that is travelling. I relish seeing different places. This beautiful nature magically attracts me. My other hobbies involve reading books (Mostly fictions), music & movies. I enjoy spending my time with my husband. We love to see different places, and this is one of the few similar interests.

Roses in Hand

As always today I opened my eyes at 7 o'clock when my alarm rang like no-one can tolerate that voice. I have the same story in every morning. From 6:00 am to 7:00 am snooze button helps me, but after that I have to wake up. Oh for what I am talking, this post is not about my morning wake up time. I have a bad habit of unnecessary talking and because of this habit today, I experienced a bad incident. 

The incident happened today morning while coming to office. I was enjoying Red FM with background traffic noise. As always my car stuck on a signal because of traffic. 'Didi, please ek gulab le lo, sirf 10 Rs. ka hai.' (Sister, please take one rose, it is only of Rs. 10.). In between, all the traffic noise, I heard one innocent voice. With ignorance, I was closing my half-open car window glass. I could see him even through closed glass. He was still outside and here I made a mistake. I opened my glass again and asked him - "How old are you?".

He - 12 years
I - Do you go school?
He - No, not now but I want to go. 
I - With whom you stay.
He - Please take one rose.

I think he was ignoring my question. I purchased one rose from him. Suddenly one lady came and slapped on his face. She was telling angrily to him "Now traffic is going to clear, I was watching you from very long, you are staying only with one customer, what you were talking?" In front of me she slapped him two times badly and took him to the footpath. I was totally shocked. I was blaming myself for this. I could see both of them from my car. She was still angry and torturing him. Then suddenly I heard one whistle. It was traffic police, and then I noticed there was also two persons in police uniform. They were very near to that child and lady. The government gives the power to them to act against every wrong thing. They could have easily save him, but they ignored it. As it was not a sinful activity.  

Now traffic was clear, and I also moved from that place. But since morning I am thinking about that child and so many other children who are going through this kind of act every day. 

Who are the responsible for this? I think me, you, police, society, government and everyone.

My Life Time Goals

Today I was reading one article regarding the goals. Personally I thought only 'Today is the day' because I don't know what 'll happen next. Relish this day as fullest as I can, is my funda of living with happiness. Yes, like every person I also make plans but not much focus on those plans. I believe that everything will happen when right time will come. But that article forced me to think little different. The article was on  - What is our future goal? Future goals like; what we want to do before dying?

So, I decided to make a list with lots of hopes and positive views. I want to do many things in this small life. :)


Not all but a big part of my list, I am sharing -

Personal Achievements:-
  • Always be positive and happy.
  • I'll read lots of books.
  • Never stop learning new things.
  • Become expert in my field without any error.
  • Never stop working.
  • I'll achieve satisfactory career goals in my forties.
  • After, ten to twelve years of work experience. I will start my own business (small or big, it doesn't matter).
  • A financially stable person.
  • I 'll write a book or books in my fifties or sixties.

Family Goals:-
  • Highly focus on happiness, I'll give smile each person's face, who is close to my heart.

Travel Goals - I will travel to the following places:-
  • India
  • Paris, France (summer and winter both)
  • London, England
  • Rome, Italy
  • New Zealand
  • Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia
  • Mauritius (once again)
  • Brazil
  • Euro Trip (I'll divide it into two parts)
  • USA (Specially - Newyork city, Las Vegas, Las Angles, San Francisco, Miami, Washington, Oahu, Hawaii, Maui)

I will visit the following sights:-
  • Taj Mahal
  • Leh Ladakh

  • A river rafting trip
  • I'll become a certified scuba diving member
  • Skydive
  • Go-karting on two tracks (Jim Hall Track Time - Ventura, California and Extreme Indoor Karting - East Tamaki, New Zealand)
  • Swim with the dolphins
  • Ride in a hot air balloon

Some I already completed, and other I'll do. I think all should make a list of goals and share it, and If do not wish to share, that's also ok. Just make it and see it every day. 

It gives me motivation, and I start work on achieving goals. If because of any reason I 'll not make all the things possible, at least I 'll get the satisfaction that I did some, and I tried to others. We all get only one life and making this life a perfect & fullest life is our duty.

Think About It

The world is full of many different kinds of people. From those people, we know very few. And if we talk about the communication that we do with them, then very fewer discussions are there for which we think afterwards. Right now, I am also thinking about one talk that I had yesterday with someone.

Yesterday accidentally I met with him in a coffee shop. On weekends whenever I get time, I prefer to enjoy a coffee at a coffee shop with a novel. After I ordered the coffee & some snacks, I was enjoying the book. Suddenly one person told me "Hello", and before I could reply he said can I join you and he sat in front of me. I knew him but not much. We met once or twice in the office only. He was with his wife; he introduced me to her. I think the shop was full, and not a single table was free, that's why they joined me. He is one of the company clients and for monthly meet-up sometimes he visits our office. He is a Ph.D. scholar and very polite in talking.

Without asking he explained that he is running an Institute and provides some training and diplomas in different-different technical languages with 100% job guarantee. He was saying that he believed in giving high quality education and learning. I asked him that does your institute provides 100% placements? And Does the institute completed all the courses in the given period? I asked these questions because, my experience with the diploma institutes were not good. He said, it depends on students and teachers. If required number of students are available, then syllabus starts on time, otherwise we have to shorten the program for finishing it on time. I wanted to ask that, what about quality education? but before it he said that I want maximum profitable business and less students means less business. And our meaning of 100% placement is that we are helping in scheduling interviews. I asked with the curiosity that what happens if there are less number of students? He said in this case after taking the fees, we reserve the seat for those and try to fulfill other seats as soon as possible. Means they made money from interested students and wait for more students. 

Well, every second educational institute is doing the same thing, or something worse. But, I am thinking about the interested students who gave the fees with the hope that they will learn something right, and they 'll get a good job. And now they are also waiting for more students. But what about learning & the precious time. For making business, this one person is spoiling so many careers & dreams.

I just wanted to ask that can we stop doing business of the education? Education is a human right for everyone. Why many institutes are highly focused on making money rather than giving education? Why they don't understand that because of this, many talented students aren't able to fulfill their dreams?


Housemaid

Today is weekend.. Saturday & Sunday means no hurry for waking up early in the morning. All five days, I think morning time is a busiest time of the day. Isn't it? I am not a morning person, and this is one of the reasons that I like weekends.

My weekend morning starts with the door bell. My maid comes for the breakfast on weekends. I am one of those lucky persons who have such a gentle, trustworthy & caring housemaid. Usually breakfast & lunch department is on my hand but on weekends I prefer that my maid make it for us. She makes excellent potato paratha, and I am a foodie person. If I get good stuffed paratha for breakfast, then nothing beats that. 

I address my maid as Maushi. In Maharashtra housemaids are commonly addressed by their names or simply Maushi. Before coming to Pune, I was little afraid because I never did all the housework alone. I knew all the work & cooking, but managing all the things was very tough for me and with work it was quite impossible. I knew that one maid was working at the place, but I heard many bad things about the housemaids in general. As it turned out, all the bad things that I heard were wrong.

My maid belonged to a typical Maharashtrian family. She is around a 45-year-old lady. She does all the work with the heart. Honesty and polite behaviour makes her a good human being. If once or twice I give her the direction for any work then next time she does as I told her. Not only she does all the work decently but also she is a very soft-hearted lady. I am telling her soft-hearted because whenever I got sick or not feeling well, she helps extra in work without asking.

With the all working qualities, she also has one respected personality. She is not much educated, but she is a strong female. She got widow at a very young age. She was left alone with a five-year-old daughter. Her husband's family didn't support her for anything. Even they took whatever her husband gave her. She fought for her rights in the court. The result was favourable, and she got her home back. But, she put all the savings in the court case and now she became dependent on husband's pension which was very less. She took her mother at her place of stay. It was the big support for her. Now, she started working as a housemaid and gave good education to her daughter. Now her daughter is married and staying in Mumbai with her husband. My maid and her mother are staying together. She is happy to see that her daughter is settled.

Now she made extra room at her home and gave that for the rent. She is also a part of 'Mahila Bachat Mandali' and doing free of the cost work for the government for providing financial securities to the poor ladies.

She is one woman that I know, but I think there are so many females who are doing great work, and nobody knows them.

Where is the equality?

Like every day, I was busy in doing my morning stuff. Suddenly my neighbour aunty called me and said if you are not getting late for office then can you come at home for a while and I went to the aunties place. She told me beta please can you give me that pot to me, she gave me one stool and showed me the last row of a shelf in the kitchen. As she has back problem, and recently she had surgery, so she can't able to stand on the stool and bring any heavy thing. She was alone at home. I gave that pot to the aunty and asked her 'where is everyone?' She told me that uncle is out of station and children are playing in the society garden as today is Vaisakhi (a Punjabi festival), so schools are on holiday. She continues; I am making Coconut Laddoo, Sarson ka Saag, Makki ki Roti and Pindi Chana for the festival. As she is, Punjabi and Vaisakhi is a main festival for them. She invited me to Vaisakhi function that is going to happen today's night in the club house. I said 'yes aunty I 'll come' and came back.

Now It was afternoon, I was busy with work, and my friend called me. I wish her Vaisakhi because I know she is also a Punjabi, but she sounded little disturbed. I asked her the reason then she told me that she had one important presentation today in the office, and today is Vaisakhi also. So, her mother-in-law told her to help her in the kitchen. She told to mother-in-law that today is a big day for her career, and she will surely come early in the evening for the function. But her mother-in-law didn't agreed. So, she decided not to go in the office today and help her in the kitchen work instead.

She did not know how to make the laddoos and other stuff, but she was trying to do some help. Suddenly her phone rings that were from her office. Now another employee is going to give that presentation that is made by her and he needed her help. She described all the things quickly to him with a heavy heart. And again started working in the kitchen. Her mother-in-law could easily see that she was upset.

Her mother-in-law told her that in our time we never dare to say anything to our elders regarding what we want and now days people are doing whatever they want and no respect for the elders. For a girl working outside is not a good thing. Your husband is earning well. Why you want to do the job?  Your salary is also not so good and all the time you are thinking about the office only. Tomorrow you will have babies, you should think about it. Sometimes I feel that family is not important to you. See you even don't know how to make a round laddoo. My friend kept listening. Because she knew, arguing was not the solution. I consoled her and tried to bring a smile on her face.

After this call to now I am thinking about her only.. today is a festival and festivals are giving happiness. But my friend is not happy. One more thing is coming in my mind that we are saying today there is no difference in a girl and a boy, and both are also taking equal education. But where is the equality?

Coffee, Tea or Me.. :)

Today morning I was just checking my Twitter account. I saw one quote shared by someone "Coffee is for writing and Tea is for editing. I don't know why but it just is." - C.E. Wilson.
I like this quote as writing or reading is my hobby, and I also love to take tea or coffee while doing this.


From starting I am a tea lover. I never appreciated coffee as I loved to take tea. The Morning after waking up the first thing that I have is tea. What I mean by tea is not green or black tea, it is pure Indian tea with milk and tea masala. It is good to say 'Masala chai' rather then 'Tea'. :) 

Interestingly my husband doesn't share my interest, as he is a big fan of good coffee. So, sometimes I also started taking coffee. In starting days, I always compared coffee with tea and always found that tea is likewise better. I tasted coffee in many places and in many varieties. Normally I didn't find that much varieties in tea.

Slowly I build up my taste for coffee and now days I notice that I also prefer to take coffee in a special time, weather, place and environment. Mostly, in rainy weather, on a hill station or while reading a good book, and yes, when I am planning for a night out I prefer coffee. One more thing, I also relish coffee on some alleged places like; StarBucks, Cafe coffee day, The coffee shop, The Irish coffee house, etc.  In short, the coffee fun depends on the surrounding.
But, If I talk about tea then still the first thing I want in the morning is tea only. If I am doing a road trip, then a roadside thadi's (tea shop) tea is better than ccd coffee. Some of my friends and family members told me that tea is my addiction, I think It is true.. :)

Conclusion; I enjoy both the things but If I talk about anytime what can I take then the tea will be my first choice.

My experience with 'ZUMBA'

'ZUMBA' is an aerobic fitness programme featuring movements inspired by various styles of Latin American dance and performed primarily to Latin American dance music.

Yes, this is the definition of Zumba, which we can find on Google. But believe me Zumba is not only a fitness programme or a dance but also a feeling that gives you a strength to see the beauty in you. It is a way to pamper yourself by giving happiness and an inner positive energy. Here, I am going to share with you all my personal experience with Zumba.



I am a dance lover from childhood but didn't get much chance to do. And now with work and home it is kind of impossible thing. From many days, I was worried about my weight. I have weight gaining body, and I am a big food lover. If I stop doing any physical activity or exercise, I gain very fast. So, I started searching the activities nearby area from my home where I can do some exercise on daily basis. Gym or Yoga was the option, but I always find these things quite annoying. I wanted to join something interesting and luckily I found Zumba classes that was happening everyday near from my home and the timing was also suiting me. I read about Zumba so much but never tried it so without any second thought I enrolled myself. I must say it was a fantastic decision.

Zumba is a total-body cardio and aerobic dance workout. It is a combination of slow and fast exercise with the form of dance on different and energizing songs. It is a well-designed formula by the trainer, who does the choreography of each class and make it more lovable.

My Zumba Benefits:-
  • It is so enjoyable, and I never take it as an exercise.
  • It builds up my workout stamina.
  • It gives me healthy skin, flexibility, positivity, a strong immunity system, reduces stress, etc. 
  • Slowly but surely It is helping me in losing weight.
Zumba is very addictive and with so many health benefits it is also an excellent platform for making an incredible social circle. From last six months, I am doing Zumba regularly. But I didn't find any negative thing about it. Now it is a part of my daily life routine and I am enjoying it every single movement.

Being yourself

Sunday Afternoon..... sitting on the bed with my laptop.... I am thinking about my today's topic.... and suddenly one question comes to my mind that Who am I? What I actually want to do? Where do I want to go? And lots and lots of question marks.... These questions come to my mind because of that article, which I read last night. It was related to the thing that people want to do, but very few actually do.

In today's world, everyone is busy with many works.... Students are busy in exams | housewives are busy in kitchen | working people are busy in work, projects, clients, targets, meetups.... uff....

I wanted to discuss with you one small story, one aunty who was our neighbour. I used to say 'bhuaji' to her. In Rajasthan 'bhuaji' is normally used for father's sister. She belonged to a small and well-settled family.

Last month I visited her place as she was not feeling well. She was very excited to see me after a long time, but I was a little unhappy because she was very ill. Her daughter was with her for taking her care. I set on a chair near aunty's bed, where I found one album near her pillow. So, I started flipping the album pages. In that album, I found many old but good dancing images of Aunty and some with the prizes. But still, I was confused whether she was the same aunty or someone else. But before I asked something, aunty said it is mine before the marriage album. I was shocked because I never knew about this hidden talent of her. Then she started to share more details with me. She said from childhood she loved dancing. Her parents always stopped her to do it, but she never listened to them. She won many prizes in school and college and wanted to be a dance teacher. I asked then why she stopped doing it? She said that her parents, husband and husband's parents didn't want, and she didn't want to hurt any one of them. After saying this, her eyes were full of tears.

This is only one story of a woman. But there are so many men and women who want something else from life but some are thinking what others will think, and some are still waiting for the right time.

http://thinkpositive30.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/changes.jpg
For this one small change is needed. Don't let go of your life like this.

Today, let's ask yourself some questions;
1) Do you live your life truly for yourself?
2) Do you spend enough time with your loved ones?
3) Do you have the courage to express your feelings to others?
4) What can you do for yourself to be happier?

Stop living your life according to others.... See positive dreams and work to fulfil them.... Try to spend time as much as possible with your loved ones, friends and family.... Express your feelings and learn to say 'no' to things you don't want to do..... Do something for you and only for your happiness.... Tomorrow will never come..... Today and now is the right time.....

If you are happy, then you can spread happiness throughout the world, and a beautiful life will come on your way. :)
