Little touch of Money



Just think for a while that how many times, money comes and moves out of our pocket. Due to increase in prices it's now impossible to retain cash in our pockets. If we want to fulfill our endless demands with an aim to save something at the end of the day, is something impossible we imagine.


As Robbins (economist) was true in sayings that, "Wants are unlimited and means are scare".
It's not an individual problem but all master mind peoples are fighting about how to, manage, invest and adjust money because of increasing prices and decrease in money's worth (inflation).


We often think about expenses and make rough plans that we can manage it with upcoming salary but as we get our salary the plans automatically shifted to next and next because of too much demands of raising kids their high cost of education and demand for new technology, how to build respectful place in society, where to save, what to buy etc etc, and on the 20th of month, pocket sings itself how alone I am.



Move to what is necessary
The best thing is to make a budget and make a list of your necessities to meet first and then move to comfort and luxuries. Other important thing to keep in mind is, the proper utilization of resources, don't waste your resources like a coward do, it can build burden on you as well as on earth e.g. wastage of fuel.

Their is no doubt that you must be updated with the present world with the use of new technology and upcoming fashion but you have to cut your cloths according to your need. Here are some suggestions from the mind of thinkers, how to manage and get control over pocket?

Plan for the budget and weekly menu before getting your salary and food items.
While doing any kind of shopping, survey the market for the best price and stuff that best suits your pocket
Another important lesson to protect your pocket, is to teach your children the true values in the life, learn them that, to buy an expensive cell phone to impress friends is not more necessary than your attitude.

You must be a smart buyer, look and wait for the sales, don't follow the fashion, wear that which suits your figure and pocket.
Give your child's a fixed allowance or monthly pocket money keeping in mind their private necessary expenditures because giving money whenever they ask will make them irresponsible.
In marriage or other parties in order to hire a expensive interior decorator, take help from some of your creative mind friends and with a little effort they will give a same new look to your place.
Don't use too expensive items for your body care because it will take your saved money once a while, use house hold items such as, half a lemon can shine your hairs and honey, egg and yogurt can be best facial mask for you.
Never go for grocery shopping on an empty stomach because you will pick food items that you might not need but your empty stomach will make you pick something extra.
In order to gift your beloved on important day, think wisely a thing that can be done by a simple dinner is far better than taking a huge loan.
Try to learn your children, the habit of saving, open little saving accounts for your child's and put there birthday and other savings there, it will feel them the importance of money and the habit of saving.



We can easily save electricity than water e.g.
Put the iron off a few second before finishing ironing.
Run the air conditioner for only few hours then turn it off, run the fan and air will spread in whole room it will keep the room cool for next few hours.
Use dryer in absolute necessary.


Make proper use of water e.g.
Store hot water from pipe lines and water tanks during summer, you can use it for washing purposes.
Repair any leaking and time the running of water pump to avoid wastage.
Water the plants sensibly
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes while they are being scrubbed.


It is no doubt that each family has its own way of living but if leader plays its role wisely than whole setup will proceed in smooth direction.

Love symbol the Red rose



I realize the importance of red rose at that time, when, when

She request me, "I want a red rose from you only". And this statement is still written on the top left corner of my heart.


I still remember my college life, when at the last day we found only one rose in college garden but there were five girls and we were four, then there was no other choice left, the only idea came to our mind was, to pass the same rose again and again to share the love and sincerity, and when the rose touches the last hand, he or she will have it and we enjoyed a lot, now it becomes a part of my memories.
Then an idea click on my mind that, "I think now I have to write on a red rose". This is not the end, familiarity and importance of red rose as a symbol of love, comes true when poets choose only red rose from 3400 species of rose. The blossom of rose is the indication of love. Poets had spent much of their life to say something on the beauty of the rose, but according to my words, I will only say,

Your cheeks are like the petals of rose,
A rose in my hand are the feeling of your cheeks.
If I view a red rose, It means I imagine your lips,
and so as the whole structure.
I love rose and so as you.


Roses are not only related to love, but they also adds much to the beauty of nature, they can also climbs on fences, walls and enhance the beauty of our houses.


History
It is believed that red rose is nearly 35 million years old. If we study history of Egyptians and Romans we will come to know that they had given the red rose, a place of pride.
Ancient Romans had given high respect to the rose not only for its beauty and fragrance but they had also extracted some medicines from them, it is quite sure that Romans must had cultivated various species of roses to use them in medicines.


Rose has also played an important role in history of England, now rose is a national flower of England after a war fought between the Houses of York and Lancaster because they use red and white flowers in war as synonymous. After this through the effort of Tudor Henry VII and his bride from York gives white and red rose "The Rose of England". It is also the state flower of several states in United States, it is also official flower of Canada.

Peoples are cultivating roses more then hundred of years. Now the Rose breeding has been commercially successful in most countries by the early 1900's. They produce crossbreed species and produce desirable new and different colors of hybrids. China is at highest level for its ever blooming variety of roses.

Colors in Roses
Roses are found in many colors, scarlet, orange, various shades of pink, red, yellow, and white. We can use a rose to cheer someone, to gift and as in Asia and many other countries to decorate a grave of your relative etc. It is believed that different color of roses had different types of feeling for your loved one's e.g.

Red shows extreme love.
Yellow shows zealousness.
Pink shows friendship.
White shows peace, unity and purity.


Messages by Roses
Similarly roses conveys different messages, the message may be positive or negative depending upon the way of presentation. A flower presented upright signifies positive behavior and if flower or rose is upside down it means "No". Positively and negativity of behavior is also judged with which hand you are presenting a rose, if with right it means "Yes" while with left, means "No".

In Islam, that sweat of the Holy Prophet of Muslims Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is added in the rose, that reflects the high personality of their Prophet (PBUH) and therefore rose becomes a sign of love and respect for all the Muslims of the world.
We can't neglect the role of roses in the beauty and transparency of nature, according to the nature world is a huge garden decorated with colorful flowers.

At the age of technology and too many choices of presents, people still believe to present rose to their loved one's because they think, it signifies true love and emotions of their heart.

Old Age Woes



What will be my life after 50's ? Oh ! old age woes.
We start our life from childhood and the last stage is old age, it is a natural process that a child grows to adult same as wisdom and the process of achievement flourishes and at last, the finish line is death, that clears all the woes of life. But the finishing line must be an example for others. The problem often arises when the old peoples have nothing to do, so I must suggest to aged peoples that they must involve themselves in some kind of activities, by doing this they don't get bore neither feel loneliness and can easily pass till sunset.


Old age Phobia
Nowadays researches introduced a new phobia that is old age phobia. This may cause depression, stress and closed out look etc. This phobia may comes from the,e
xistence of wrinkles, financial constraints, dependence, loneliness, loss of health and voluntary or forced retirement.



As Shakespeare said, "Old age is second childhood, in terms of depreciation of mental and physical faculties, just as sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste and sans everything".
Abraham Lincoln was true in saying, "It is not the years in one's life but the life in one's years that counts". It means that the life we pass with our full power and strength that counts, not that life that we pass on the bed.
Old age also depend upon the diet we take today, if you had a complete and healthy diet today it will helps you tomorrow when you grew old.
I often hear from my mother that, "Make yourself strong for the old age". If you are weak today then think, what kind of circumstances you will have to face tomorrow. It is studied that the ancient people live long because of the healthy food and the kind of life style in which they were living.


How to secure Old age
One way to secure and happy old age is that, most of people spend their whole lives in earning financial security, good health, self respect and independence to pass their old age easily, by doing this you will have no regret that you had wasted your life, but other modes to pass happy old age are,


Don't break your relation with your family and other relatives.
Take active part in family matters to show that your decision does matter.
Always remain at the top of your family and act as a leader.
Don't leave your friends at this stage, because they are the part of your life.
If you had hand over your private business to your family members, always take a short trip to the
company once in a month to view staff comments and progress of the company as well.

How to treat Old peoples
Just passing old age is not necessary but to pass that age with quality, that is necessary. Provide all living facilities to these peoples because old people wants nothing but just your close attention. Teach your children to respect elders as they are family members. Here are some tips, how to deal with old peoples.

Don't lose your temper
Old peoples are just like child's, now they are weak in physical and mental activities, so bear them with full patience, fulfill their demands, no doubt it is hard work but think for a while that you will also have to enter in this age, hey had struggle whole the life now it is time for them to rest, therefore respect them so as you will be respected.

Respect them
Respect old peoples so that they consider themselves as honorable citizens because respect is something for which we strive for whole life, listen them carefully. It is common practice in many public areas that old folks remain insulted and they are treated as a burden for the society.
As in Islam Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said," Those are not amongst us who doesn't respect elders neither loves children".


Treat them with Love
Love is the feeling that each human wants at each stage of life and same as old peoples, share their views about life, their past experiences, memories and what they gained so far and what they lose. It will build affection and confidence in them that helps in their remaining life.

Keep in mind, old people are more experienced
Don't try to falsify old peoples, because lot of experiences are hidden behind the sayings of old folks. They don't use their own language, the words they speaks comes from the lesson of their life. I often heard a sentence from my grand father that," Oh God, keep me alive but how much". It means that everyone have to leave the world. So try to act upon their advise, explore their experience for your good cause.

Save your old age
This is a perfect time to save your old age, don't let your old one's in separate old aged houses because this habit will transfer to your children and they will do the same as you did with your fore fathers. So don't feel white haired peoples as a burden.

White hair with child sense
Old people are second to children, they can laughs at the naughty acts of the babies, they possess good sense of humor, they even laughs at simple jokes but the only thing is that you give your time, bring your child's close to them and share their loneliness.

Care for old folks
When old age comes visit to the washroom increases day by day, so must keep a night lamp near to bed to secure and ease the darkness of night. Researches showed that most causalities like hip-bone fracture and other joints comes after middle age. Man is a social animal, he cannot live without society, here are some caring tips for above 50's.


Don't dumped your old one's in separate houses, if you had hired a servant even then you must visit them twice a day.
Help these people to cross the road, provide a lift in rain, give them seat in bus etc.
Indulge them in family matters, consult with them, let them to give their opinion so that they never feel that they are alone in this world.
Provide suitable walking sticks and frictionless wheel chair that can easily move if they want to come outside from home.
Don't let them to stand on a ladder or on a stool to get to things beyond their reach.
Keep washrooms in dry and clean condition to avoid slippery.
Firmly fix the handlebars on the walls to ensure that they have something to hold if they accidentally slips.


As a responsible citizen of our nation, it is our sole responsibility that we help old people, it is not only our social contribution but also our ethical responsibility because we didn't build this nation these were our old folks. Old people such as our parents now needs our close attention, don't forget that they had brought you up, now they are up to our consideration, care them as they cared you.

Stay Cool, Build Patience


"Their is no difference between a person filled with anger and a bull in the play ground". Anger sucks our blood as a leach, so stay cool and judge the situation by your full attention to take correct decision. Many of our problems arises when we doesn't consult, take immediate decision without going deep into subject matters. Therefore the lesser the time we take, more will be the chances of reaction and explosion.


Anger is something that control our senses and insist ourselves for physical actions anger may increase with an empty stomach, so if you want to check someone patience, try him/her when h/she is hungry. Sometimes we get angry if someone tells lie, produce false statement about us or something doesn't come true according to our desires or get much time to complete a mission etc.



We need patience at each and every step of our life, e.g.



  • Employee needs it to hear their boss.

  • Student needs it to hear teacher.

  • Businessman needs it where to invest.

  • Wrestler needs it how to bring down the opponent under his knees.

  • Husband needs to hear his wife's new crispy desires.

According to greatest Muslim emperors "Patience is the weapon from which you can conquer the whole world". It is no doubt that time is too precious in this modern age but to live smooth we must build patience in ourselves, because you doesn't know which path has been selected by your fate.


Stock exchange experts studied that those investors who spend three to five years after buying shares are more profitable then those who bought and sold after 6 months. Its all the matter of patience that moves toward the proper use of time and money. Jews said, "Take your full time enjoy and laugh when you have indefinite time".


How to build patience


Chill yourself, let others to burn out with anger then come close together, advise him/her to stay cool and then solve the problem. Here are some ways to remain cool throughout the whole life.


Don't use drugs

Be aware don't use cigarettes or any type of drugs to relax your mind. These type of drugs has too many side effects that appears as one moves to old age, these drugs contain nicotine, alcohol and caffeine that are harmful for health. Best way to remain cool is to take a glass of cold water or to take a long shower.


Move to healthy place

Change in the life is necessary, too much busy life make oneself bored and stressed. Nowadays man is as busy as a donkey. Give proper time to your family, go for outing to change your environment, it will not only keep your mind healthy but makes other close to you.


Empty your brain

Clean your brain from any ideas whether the ideas are about office work or family matters. Take yoga or other type of healthy exercises, at the night time after going to bed free your mind and close the door for any type of ideas, you will feel relax.


Try to smile

Try to smile with your friends, family and even with your staff members to refresh your mind. If you get nothing to smile then recall your school or college memories to laugh, as I remembered once in my school days, when I was about 7, I throw the note book of my fellow boy towards the ceiling fan, and the whole class was filled with pages, first I get scared but then I starts clapping with my friend.


Fresh ideas

Think positive and free yourself so that fresh and new ideas came into your mind. If you don't get high grades or your company shows less profit then prior year, it means you need more hard work and planning to get success, don't disappoint, perform well and leave the result on God. Believe in God, you will remain cool.


Admit your mistakes

Breath deeply, admit your mistakes, it will build self courage and determination, no doubt truth is bitter but you have to swallow it, the key point to get relax at that time is to make promise, not to repeat it again.


Be confident

Always be confident and believe on your ideas. If you believe on your abilities it will add much to your patience and you will remain cool, because you know you are right.


In short patience is the true spirit, ability and it is a kind of behavior that how you react with others, once acquired, it is a gift that helps you to pass through anything.
