Day #15. 100 days of gratitude.

Day #15 – Cabs
100 Days Gratitude Challenge 2017
I have been travelling by cab after I sold my car last month. This is a new experience for me. It reminds me of the time when I had a driver to drive me around, except this is miles cheaper and less stressful.
I don’t have to worry about how he is treating the car. Is he sitting there with the engine and AC on? Is he taking care of the car well? Will there be more expense on gas and repairs? When I had a driver, I worried about the additional expense as well as the above. 
When I drove the car, I worried about the traffic, getting a parking spot, navigating through crowded roads without a scratch on the car and sundry other concerns that mostly did not materialize. So stress and tension was part of my every day life.
For the last one month, all of this has disappeared since I take a cab when and where I want to without having to concern myself about the above issues. I get back home less tired and the worry lines are reducing from my forehead and there is far less stress and tension than before.
I’m grateful for Uber and Ola. They have eased my problems by giving me affordable commute with good comfort and ease.
They have changed the way we commute and will continue to disrupt the commutation world.
This is the future. Sooner or later the world will move to owner less cars. Get ready for that.

Day #27: Our world (100 days gratitude challenge)

Day #27: Our world 100 days of gratitude This morning at 5 am when I took Alfie for a walk I noticed the road was filled with the remnants of yesterday's festivities. Paper, cardboard, plastic covers. gunpowder, rocket launchers, bottles, buckets, mugs, and tons of muck. I feel sorry for the cleaning staff who have to labour to clear this. Rains may help if it comes pouring now. We humans have a unique relationship with our planet. We believe that whatever we do our planet will correct itself and come back to how we found it. We don't know or care who is cleaning up behind us. Fortunately for us, our planet has taken care of itself so far. It has taken all the abuse we threw at it and corrected itself. I wonder how long this party can continue before it gives up. Do you notice how our planet is learning to adapt herself to our ways? She is over 4.5 billion years old. She managed to see her way through dinosaurs for à few million years. Primitive mankind is about 200,000 y...

Day 74: Smile 100 Day Gratitude Challenge

Day 74: Smile 100 Day Gratitude Challenge Today I was going with my friend to the city. At the toll he handed out a biscuit packet to the toll collector after swiping his toll card.  The toll collector first wondered  what was being handed to him and then when he realised what it was, his face broke into a big smile. It absolutely lit up his face and all of us in the car smiled in return.  It struck me then that a smile will almost always elicit a return smile. It’s the simplest and easiest thing to give anyone and you will get it back in return multifold. It improves the mood of the giver and the receiver. I’m grateful for the smile. It is the simplest and warmest gift we can gift anyone. It is easy to do and there is no limit to how much we can give. Benefits of Smiling ·         Smiling is contagious Even in bad situations, if you smile, others are likely to mimic the expression. ·         Smiling lowers stress ...

Day #53: Ability to stand up after every fall (100 Day Gratitude Challenge)

Day #53:     Ability to stand up after every fall (100 Day Gratitude Challenge) Have you seen a baby learn to walk? The baby makes countless attempts to stand before actually standing isn’t it? The baby first learns to roll over and after many weeks becomes good at it. Then she would attempt to sit up and will fall in the attempt a thousand times before actually being able to sit up. Finally, the baby will hold on to something and pull herself up to be able to stand on her feet. She will wobble back and forth and plonk down and then promptly try once again. This attempt again will be repeated a hundred times before she finally learns to stand. Only after this does she keep one foot in front of the other and take the first few tentative steps. The art of walking cannot be mastered in just one stroke. We all know it. But when we become adults we suddenly start believing that whatever I take up I must do well and I shall do it well the very first attempt...
