NORMAL PEOPLE WORRY ME


  1. Get up

  2. Clean up

  3. Eat

  4. Earn

  5. Back to the place

  6. Eat

  7. Sleep


This is Normal People and they call it Daily Routine and that is human being who has set these counted day routines for himself to run the life and this world. I thought every child is born to make a difference but gradually and finally its just an added number to the daily routine crowd.


I know everybody wants and try to be normal. I dont know if there is any official study or research has been done but my experience clears me, routine is an exercise which makes the mind numb and restrains from an extended creativity and newness. How one can think out of the box when one is confined into the the circumference of the routine.There is no way one can have an interesting and happening life while one is normally alive.


Rather than getting nature's influence we get more influenced by Machines. We are just another Machine. We are not contributing anything for the healthy development of the upcoming generation and not at all trying to give back any moment in return to those who made us to live uptill today. What are we doing in actual is earning, eating and dying of Tension. Everybody is worried about saving. It's never possible to save anything until we are stuck in the labyrinth of routine. We need to get out of it to get new vision of life.


The basic problem is we are always at run. We have forgot to sit and focus on one thing. Its just because we take so many responsibilities so early all at one time. We mess up. We are so scattered you see, we need to get ourself together professionally, personally, Individually and spiritually . We need to sit for sometime without thinking of anything. Why cannot we give rest to our mind while we are up.


In heart to heart everybody wants to be a free bird with endless sky to fly in. But we screw up. Its not that its impossible to fulfill what we dream. In the fact, we forget in between earning and sleeping and by the time we realize it seems unimportant because we get so mature and possessive, we refuse to loose our materialistic collections and even our dependence. We get so use to of an underdog life. Freedom gets out of our dictionary.


The idea that I have for myself and for those who probably might get convinced with me, there is no point in wasting and stretching our time in taking up those accounts which are not required and to which you cannot give hundred percent neither of yourself nor the relationship you are into. Lets first nurture ourself, our being and the world connected to us. Every aspect of our life is going out of our hand. Its time to shoulder our dreams and our identity. Its possible if we are out of our routine box and Normality.


Lets try out this:

  1. Earn

  2. Forget

  3. Beautify yourself and your neighborhood

  4. Cook what you can grow

  5. Explore and Invent whatever (Remember every Invention Counts)

  6. Go an extra mile for the needy ones and expand your friendship and humanity horizon

  7. Introduce something new to the soceity.

Why not start living for ourself after all we start our day with earinng by ourself.

WE MISSED THE BEST PART

I have not travelled a lot but I want to. However, I know I missed a lot about those places I have travelled. My itinerary to any place starts from Airport to hotel and extends to some major travelled spots. I always try to have an experience of the real essence of the place; the Country side. But sometime its the company I am with or beforehand plans or might be the obsession with the urban developed surprises that hinders the urge of getting in touch with the country's real natural beauty.

From my view, concrete structures, pruned leaves, controlled traffic, hugely maintained shopping malls, packed food, packed dairy are enough seen. Everything is being mechanically served on our doorsteps. The least we can do for our betterment is when we are out of this automated city, we could stay in the natural condition and can appreciate and feel the nature. I want to see everything natural as I am. Have we forgotten we are still human being, nature's biggest achievement. We are the one who is day and out trying to challenge and get the most of our life automated. Now its impossible to find beauty in the cities, the countryside is the place where there is still tremendous amount of life in every drop of water.

I am from India, I lived there for 26 years and in all these years I lived in so many cities of India. I visited so little the countryside. I know I missed all the beauty. The fact is one gets so fascinated by the upcoming surprises of the urban development, time passes by like a fragrance. Thats true I did not get time or a chance to go and live a whole diifferent life in Rural India , just because I was too busy in developing myself with the development of the vicinity.

Brighter days, Silent nights, Fresher air, Cooler water, warmer companionship all those desirous for peaceful and happening life who should be there are here where nothing stops ever for nobody. Yeah development is good but not on the cost of our natural beauty and peaceful days which were gifted to us. I know its not easy to go back and dump everything but trying is never hard. The first step to start the revolution and end this article; lets minimize the wastage. If I give a closer look into the lifestyle the most of us have, we waste half of the everything we use. Before using anything a search can be done about the optimal usage of every part of anything. Lets get started its you who will see the change.

CANNOT DRINK WINE, EAT IT.

From my view point everybody above 25 years of age should have moderate amount of Red Wine. Moderate amount is one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. I have seen and studied; moderate drinkers have a lower heart risk and lower coronary heart disease than heavy or non drinkers. A glass of Red Wine increases health benefits and Cancer Protection as it is rich in Antioxidants.

I am not fond of drinking wine be it Red or White Wine but I like when I cook it. You will never taste the Wine once it is cooked. Believe me; one can cook anything from Red Wine. The key point is it has to be a good Red Wine to cook. Always go for a sweeter version of Red Wine for cooking so that the taste infused in the food should not destroy the basic taste of the other ingredients.

Hereunder is one recipe with Red Wine which can be cooked by any one as it involves only two steps and two kitchen appliances which yields endless taste and health benefits. Food and Drink all in one, what else a Bachelor, a busy and a Reluctant food lover could ask for.
Recipe follows:

1 lbs. Boneless Chicken or Lamb chops, cut into bite size pieces.
¼ cup Red Wine.
1 tsp. Garam Masala (Indian Curry Powder)
1 tsp. Salt.
1/2 lemon juice.
1 Onion chopped.
2 cloves of garlic minced.
½ tsp. ginger minced.
2 tbsp. Yoghurt/ Buttermilk.
2 tbsp. Cooking Oil.

Mix all the above mentioned ingredients with Chicken or Lamb and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
Preheat non-stick cooking pan over medium high heat.
Add Marinated Chicken / Lamb, sauté for 2 minutes until chicken / lamb is opaque.
Cook covered on simmer for about 20 minutes, stir once in a while.
Garnish with chopped Coriander and mint leaves.
Serve with Rice/ Pasta/ Flat Bread/ Couscous.

LIFETIME INVESTMENT

The point is how much we get from the money. In today’s world is it clever to invest the saving or save it? We spend, save and invest our hard earned money for the present and future safety and progress; it is a myth. We spend half of our earning on our skin and pleasure, one fourth goes into the hand of the bank for payment of the loan debt and the final chunk is left for our daily needs. Why to live in so much pressure, our life doesn’t deserve this. Why we can’t ever learn to live surprisingly happy in whatever we have and can have conveniently.

My saving and investment is on the daily basis. I don’t believe in handing over my money to a certified professional investor, when I can do better than him. I love cooking not because I don’t like eating out; In fact I love exploring cuisines and restaurants but home cooked food actually satisfy me better. Here is my saving by not going out for meal and investment by perfecting my cooking talent which I can cash anytime by getting a job in restaurants or by catering. I love writing but I just cannot stand reading not because I cannot read, it’s just that I don’t find reading as captivating as writing. Here is no saving as such but I invest by writing blogs and recipes which gets me the publicity. I don’t like shopping which actually saves me a lot of money. I think the more dresses or appliances you have the more confusion is there, maintenance is there and wastage of time is there. I love travelling a lot rather than going to shopping malls I prefer going out of the city/ country and have fun or visiting my hometown which connects me to my roots and livens my taste buds. Here is my saving of my mental peace, self awakening, and knowledge about culture, place and people. Here is my investment for lifetime experience. I make donations to needy children and people. Here is my saving, my positive thinking and good intention. My investment is what I get in return is the power and right to take care of someone which is never a mistake.
My husband earns for above mentioned lifestyle. What else one earns money for? The answer that I get for this question is, for children and their future. For me I don’t need children as we already have so many in needs, which I love to help and I help them indeed.
I am not denying the power of savings or investment, the only misconception I want to get clear is why to invest by depositing our bulk earnings instead by spending and saving on daily basis which in return gives us the experience of life and less stress for healthy living. Lets keep happy ourselves, world will be happy by themselves. This is not a Myth.
