20 Commandments of Life


  • Spend some time with yourself. Unless your cup is full, you cannot help others. Fill up yourself first. Its ok to be selfish.
  • Spend quality time with your kid. It's the bestest stress buster and at the same time kids learn so much from parents. 
  • Spend quality time with your better half. T&C applied - Better half should also be willing to spend quality time with you :) It is always a 2 way street. You cannot spend quality time with someone whose attention is divided between you and the holy screen. :)
  • Indulge in some real conversation with real people sitting right besides you rather than people sitting miles away from you. Have deep meaningful conversations. 
  • Pray because it just feels so good. Pray after getting up, before having food, before going to sleep. Pray whenever and wherever you can. Why? Because GOD is Great. Make God your bestfriend. 
  • Meditate for your emotional wellbeing. Learn the art of meditating. It can do wonders to the quality of your life. 
  • Practise Mindfulness. Be present in the moment to enjoy the present. Let past grudges and future stresses sort themselves out at their time.
  • Practise Concentration. It is something that you have to master with constant practise. It's a must in this highly distracted world. It's the need of the hour.
  • Exercise daily. Its the best and guaranteed health insurance.
  • Whatever job that do you, do it really well with utmost dedication and sincerity. Be ethical, do the right thing even when no one is watching. 
  • Do not shy away from household chores If we won't do it then who will?
  • Empower somebody. Helping someone can be a one time thing, but empowering someone can go a long way in changing one or more lives. Like kindness, one act of empowerment can have a huge ripple effect. Do that one act of empowerment and let nature take its course.
  • Read daily, let the knowledge base keep increasing with every single day. 
  • Learn something new. Keep growing. Dont be stagnant. You are never too old to learn something new. Life also has its own ways of teaching us new things.
  • Whatever you do, do it with love. It shows. And most importantly, it feels good. :)
  • Indulge in some laughter therapy. Make others laugh. It can keep disesases at bay.
  • Practise Kindness. It is something that the world needs. All it takes is one act of kindness by every single person on this planet earth to make this world a better place to live in.
  • Cleanliness is Godliness. This is an evergreen one. It all boils down to the energy that it releases in the space. 
  • Another classic - As you sow, so shall you reap. Positive attracts positive.
  • Practise Contentment. This can be mastered by giving up false expectations, reducing anxieties, letting go of unnecessary things and people, practising minimalism.

365 Days Of Kindness


Imagine throwing a stone in a huge pond. What happens? Something as insignificant as a stone creates a huge ripple effect. Now try that with a small act of kindness. It can have the very same ripple effect on the people around us. Isn't that amazing. Do you know what is even more amazing, if every single person on this planet earth commits to do just one single act of kindness a day, then it can invariably touch the lives of all the people in this world. The world would become a little better place to live in than yesterday. And if we continue doing so every single day of our lives, then tomorrow will be even better than our today. End result being a happy place. My happy place. Your happy place. Everyone's happy place.


So here I am starting with my small journey of 365 days of kindness, performing one act of kindness every single day for the next one year. What do I hope at the end of year one? Well I hope I am a much better person than I am today with kindness as my way of life and my place becoming a happy space. Can't wait to start seeding kindness in this vast space.

In my quest for my happy space.
