Smaller states for better governance of INDIA

As Atal Bihari Vajpayee envisioned ... Dividing Indian larger states into smaller ones can be a complex task, but I'll provide a hypothetical scenario based on the current population. Here's a possible reorganization of India into 50 smaller states based on 140 crores population:

Capital cities and related infrastructure will bring big growth. Railways and Roadways to rescue all.

Tough Love Poem

 A parent's tough love shines so bright,
A son's rebellion, a testing night.
Sneaking out, a path of strife,
A father's patience worn thin with life.

He waits in bed, a surprise in store,
A scare, a shock, a wake-up call once more.
Plywood on the window, a barrier strong,
No more escape, a lesson to be learned all day long.

The doorknob turned, a lock in place,
A safe confinement, a steady gaze.
A father's presence, a guiding light,
In classrooms too, a constant sight.

A message clear, a warning true,
"I'll make your life harder, if you don't see this through."
A son's gratitude, years later told,
A Marine Corps retirement, a college degree to hold.

Tough love's reward, a life on track,
A parent's pride, a son's gratitude to pack.
A story shared, a lesson to impart,
Tough love's power, a loving parent's heart.

Valentine Poem

 Valentine!

Through lips that whisper dreams so sweet, 

I seek the soul, in silence we meet. 

Yet, you linger, love's promise delayed, 

With every words, my wonder displayed, 

In the dance of fate, our hearts cascade.

We will move forward, till next decade,

Until someone would say stop, escapade

How Purpose Changes Across Your Lifetime

 

How Purpose Changes Across Your Lifetime?

1. Purpose evolves with age: Research suggests that our sense of purpose changes significantly across our lifetime, with different priorities emerging at different ages.

2. Young adulthood (20s-30s): Exploration: In our 20s and 30s, we tend to focus on exploring our identities, values, and passions, laying the groundwork for our long-term sense of purpose.

3. Adulthood (40s-50s): Building and creating: As we enter our 40s and 50s, our focus shifts to building and creating things that last, such as careers, families, and communities.

4. Midlife (50s-60s): Reflection and re-evaluation: During midlife, we often experience a period of reflection and re-evaluation, assessing our accomplishments and considering what gives our life meaning.

5. Older adulthood (70s+): Giving back: In our later years, our sense of purpose often shifts toward giving back to others, sharing our wisdom and experience with younger generations.

6. Purpose is not a fixed trait: Our sense of purpose is not something we're born with or develop early in life; rather, it evolves and changes as we grow and develop.

7. Life events shape purpose: Significant life events, such as having children, experiencing a major loss, or facing a health crisis, can profoundly impact our sense of purpose.

8. Purpose is linked to well-being: Research has shown that having a strong sense of purpose is associated with greater well-being, life satisfaction, and resilience.

9. Cultivating purpose requires effort: Developing and maintaining a sense of purpose requires intentional effort, including reflection, exploration, and a willingness to adapt and change.

10. Purpose can be found in everyday activities: We don't need to have a grand, earth-shattering purpose to feel fulfilled; purpose can be found in everyday activities, relationships, and experiences that bring us joy and meaning.
