Anger is injurious to health!



Did you receive a feedback that you have temperamental issues? And if you are feeling guilty about it, there is a good news for you. Anger is just an emotion like love, fear, happiness…

Anger is one of biggest enemy for one self. Your actions and decisions taken by you when you are angry is always detrimental. Anger can be triggered due to many reasons like you are asked to do something, which you don’t want to do, you just don’t like someone, misunderstanding, work pressure, family pressure and so on …

Anger has no face but it is a feeling that you have. Anger may be a reaction single or multiple actions over a period of time. Anger (“Krodh”) is one of the five big enemies of human. The actions taken under the influence of anger always lead repentance. At times, due to anger, people will put you on wrong side even if you are talking sensible. Other side effects of anger are stress and anxiety, which has long term effects.

Anger Management (easy to preach but difficult to practice):

- It is important to learn and practice how to say ‘NO’

- Ignore, avoid and withdraw

- Yoga, exercise …

- When angry - write a note to self (it will calm you down)

- Isolate and stop thinking (listen to music or watch a movie)

- Do something else!

- Record the feeling to understand whether you are in right or wrong

- Tell yourself that you can but not you will

- Take breaks from routine - sky will not fall without you!

- Realise that you are not the only victim

- Realign your focus on other important items or personal well being

Remember anger is like fire cracker, you will have ashes, dusts after a flare …

Health is Wealth

Image
Recently when I was sick, I could really understand the meaning of 'health is wealth'. One does not at least I could not realise seriously why it is important to take care of health. I have never been so frightened about health before I spent my Diwali night in a hospital. Probably, first Diwali when I was not with my children.  There will be sympathy for you (some are genuine) though very short term. I realised to put the health first, family first. This time my parents were with me during Diwali as they generally stay in my home town. Oh God! I missed the really precious moments spending time with my parents - a rare occasion, which I am going to miss for a very long time. While in hospital, I was thinking of my work but soon I realised someone will replace me at work but the family is going to miss me if something untoward happens. It is an art how one withdraws from work during family time. What I do for living one thing but what I do to live another thing but more importan

A Trip to Nandankanan Zoological Park

After a long time, I visited Nandankanan along with my sons Sai (16 years old) and Sannibh (8 years old though he insists that he is 9 years old), it was really fun to spend quality time with kids. Specifically when you stay in large cities where travel time consumes good part of your life in my case approx. 32 days of a year in travelling (I travel by car). Seriously, I spend 1 out of 12 months in travelling. Let me come back to the subject, though we stay very near to Nandankanan but rarely find time to take kids to Nandankanan due to many excuses. This time when I am travelling to Bhubaneswar, I was clear in my mind, I will take them to Nandankanan. Sai had visited at a very young age and Sannibh had never visited to Nandankanan. We purchased entry tickets, a guide (Manoj - young local fellow) escorted us and then the journey starts to cover 9 sightseeing points. It was hot but we were super excited as it was father and sons time after a long period. There are 12 seater BOV (Battery

Mallu's Corner

Every weekend I and one of my friends have breakfast at this South India small tiffin centre. The owner cum chef has also started recognising us loyal customers. My favourite is 'onion dosa' with some juice, which we get it from nearby shop. There are few learnings from 'Anna' as we call him. 1. Every customer is important . He ensures that every customer is given due attention. He will surely make sure to check with customer in case anyone feels unattended. He somehow recognises the same. 2. He does not use a computer or a note book to take the orders but ensures to maintain deliver the order including tele orders one by one without reminder and flawlessly with good number of footfall. This essentially means that these external aids are actually stopping us to use our memory power to the fullest .  How many of us used to have mobile childhood back in 80's - none but we used to memorise landline numbers. With the advent of mobile phone book - we hardly remember anyo
