मी स्वतः प्रणिप्रेमी पक्षीप्रेमी आहे. मला लहान असल्यापासून सर्व प्राणी पक्षी फार आवडयचे. मांजर, खार, बेडूक, आणि कबुतर हे खूपच आवडीचे. जे प्राणी पक्षी मला आवडतात आणि ज्यांची मला भीती वाटते मी त्यांचा अभ्यास करते. कबुतर ह्या पक्ष्यावर माझे खूप वाचन झाले आहे. कबुतर हे गतीचे आणि शांतीचे प्रतीक आहे. कबुतर एकनिष्ठ असतें (एक गुणधर्म जो माणसात कमी होतं चालला आहे). कबुतर नर आणि मादी दोघे मिळून पिल्ले वाढवतात. आश्चर्यचकित करणारी बाब म्हणजे त्यांच्यामध्ये Lactation सारखी प्रक्रिया सुद्धा होते. कबुतर GPS शिवाय एका जागेपासून दुसरी कडे जाऊ शकतात. कबुतरांनी विश्वायुद्धात सुद्धा महत्वाची कामगिरी बजावली आहे. ह्यानंतर प्रश्न येतो कबुतरखान्यांचा. एक जागा जिथे कबुतरांना दाणे टाकून खाऊ घातले जाते. कबुतरखान्याजवळ कबुतरांची पिसे, विष्ठा तसेच मरून पडलेली कबुतरे असतात. कबुतरांची पिसे इतर पक्षांपेक्षा जास्त गळतात. त्यांच्या पिसानमधून जास्त धूळ उडते. ह्या काही known facts आहेत. कबुतर खडतर परिस्थितीत जिवंत राहणारा पक्षी आहे. त्यांना आपण खाऊ घालण्याची निकड नाही. ते स्वतंत्र जगू शकतात. ह्याच कारणामुळे म...

I was unwell for a few weeks. I was only going out to my office. After returning from the office, I was staying in. Even on the weekends I was staying in, resting.  Today, I felt a bit better and I decided to take a stroll. I had to buy groceries and essentials. I went to a nearby supermarket and bought whatever I wanted. Fun part was the stroll itself. I could have ordered the groceries and esssentials online, yet I decided to go out. I was pleased to roam around. I felt energized after that quick errand. I realised what I had taken for granted only after I was unable to do it.  Sometimes, it only takes a little push to improve the situation. Sometimes, that little push feels a lot. Not every day is a good day, but also every day is not the same. Bad days come only to make us aware of the importance of good days. 

I was searching for a book for my 8 year old nephew. A book which he will love reading. A book from which he will learn something. I browses through the catalogue and found variery of booka for young readers. Most of these were fantasy novels or fairytales. Most books were written by foreign authors. While browsing, I found the ideal book, "Malgudi days" by R K Narayan. Just the cover brought back plethora of memories. I used to watch the series "Malgudi days" on TV. I was in school and this series used to be showcased on Sunday morning. Each episode would be for 30 minutes including advertisements. It would include adventures abd experiences of characters from a finctional town of Malgudi. The stories were believable and characters were relatable. Stories were short and simple, sometimes with serious undertones. As the book arrived, I jumped on to reading it. I finished it reminiscing my childhood days. I remembered the stories which I had watched on TV...

I haven't been keeping well this entire week. My entire routine got disturbed.  Everyday I wake up at 7:30 in the morning. I go to office in the morning and I return at 7:30 in the evening. After returning home I do my routine exercise for 25 to 30 minutes. After the exercise either I read or I brought through my phone. Then around 9 o'clock I have my dinner. After dinner I make my bed and then again browse through my phone. At 11 o'clock I go to bed.  As I am unwell in this week, I couldn't do any of these activities. I worked from home. I did not do my exercise routine. I was not in a mood to read or do something creative. I couldn't sleep well due to lack of activities.  Whenever I am unwell, I feel bored which bothers me the most.  But sometimes body needs rest. When the body demands rest, we should let it rest. Afterall, it is the only place where we will live forever. 

Life is truely uncertain. I felt it several times, but not this prominently. At least till this week. Earlier this week, we received a phone call to inform us of sad demise of a neighbor. He was around 40 years old. He had a lot of health issues and was in the hospital of some time. Indeed it was disheartening. Life so young was lost. Later this week, I got similar news about a work colleague who met an unexpected end. He was healthy (at least as per the people around him). He was feeling unwell, hence asked his friend to take him to a hospital. The doctor said he was fine and prescribed medications. He still wasn't convinced and was on his way to another hospital. He died on the way. He was in his 30s. When any young person dies, people always come up with conspiracy theories (recent common theory is COVID vaccine). What worries me is that we do not value the life enough. After the person's death everyone praises them, however the departed ones are rarely praised when they are...

A couple of months ago a colleague of mine recommended the book called as Atomic Habits. Though I was aware of the book, I hadn't read that yet. It was always on the list of international bestsellers,  however it was always expensive. I purchased it in the last month and I read it within 20 days. Here is my book review as a reader. The book suggest that we should start making small changes either to create a new habit or to break an existing habit. Small increments will yield bigger results in a long run. The book enlist some of the personal stories as well as testimonies of other people. There are several examples which provide us evidence towards creating small changes in the existing routine which would lead to bigger changes. The author has also included evidence from published literatures and studies.  The author has also provided several charts graphs and lists which will help us in creating new habits or breaking the habits which we do not want to carry.
