  In today's world, social media platforms have become a common space for communication and interaction. Among them, Messenger, particularly Facebook Messenger, plays a pivotal role in how we connect with friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. However, it's important to remember that messaging, like any form of communication, comes with a set of etiquettes. This article focuses on the rules and expectations when using Messenger, particularly for men and women, and how to navigate this virtual space in a respectful and considerate manner. For Men: Proper Behavior on Messenger 1. Friend List Does Not Equal Friendship It is essential to understand that just because you are on a woman's friend list, it does not automatically mean you are friends. Sending casual messages in the same tone you would with close friends might not be appropriate. Many people, including women, prefer keeping their Messenger space more personal, and treating it like a casual chat with friends could le...

  In life, we often find ourselves caught up in the pursuit of academic success, burning the midnight oil for exams and memorizing countless answers to questions that seem vital at the time. However, once these exams are behind us, we may find ourselves wondering: What practical value do those late-night study sessions and memorized answers have in real life? The truth is, many of the things we learned for exams become irrelevant as time passes, and life doesn’t solely rely on degrees or certificates. The Real Battle Begins After the Degree It’s a reality that’s often overlooked – the real struggle begins after obtaining that degree. Degrees are often seen as the key to unlocking a successful career, but in reality, they only serve as a stepping stone. The true test of success comes after you step out into the world, where the demands are different, and the challenges are more complex. In this phase, it is not just your academic qualifications that matter but your ability to think ...

  In the hustle and bustle of life, we often focus solely on securing our future - working tirelessly to build a bank balance, ensuring our families are provided for, and striving for financial stability. While all of this is important, there is an equally vital aspect of life that often gets overlooked: living in the moment and indulging in the things that bring us joy. Don't Forget to Enjoy the Present It’s easy to get lost in the pursuit of wealth, thinking that accumulating more savings will secure our future and the futures of those we love. But as the saying goes, "You didn’t come here to secure seven generations; you came here to live". The truth is that while financial security is necessary, it’s equally important to take time out for yourself. You are living now, and these moments won’t come back. Spending on Yourself: A Worthwhile Investment A common thought in many cultures is to save as much as possible, often with the goal of leaving a large inheritance for t...

  When we first meet someone, there’s an undeniable spark of curiosity. Every conversation feels like an opportunity to learn more about the other person. We ask questions to understand their world better - questions that are thoughtful, open-ended, and empathetic. But as time passes in a relationship, it’s easy to let that curiosity fade. Over time, we may find ourselves making assumptions rather than asking questions. This shift can unintentionally create distance between partners. The First Date vs. The Long-Term Relationship Remember the early days of your relationship? The excitement, the butterflies, the genuine desire to understand each other’s thoughts and feelings. On your first date, you weren’t focused on winning an argument or proving a point. Instead, you listened intently, eager to know more about your partner’s experiences, dreams, and preferences. You probably asked questions like: Tell me more about that. What was that like for you? Help me understand. These were q...

  The world around us has undergone a tremendous transformation over the years. In the past, family ties were strong, with close-knit relationships and a deep sense of respect for elders. However, today, as time progresses, these bonds have weakened, and the essence of what used to be cherished family values is slowly fading away. A Glimpse of the Past In the olden days, when a husband wanted to inform his wife about the arrival of his sister-in-law, he would announce it with love and affection. The tinkling of the wife’s anklets and the clinking of her bangles would greet her husband eagerly. The wife would always respond with respect to her father-in-law, simply saying, “Yes, Babuji” or “Ji Babuji,” demonstrating her reverence for him. In those days, relationships were strong, and the sense of family was all-encompassing. It was a time when respect and understanding were not only expected from the younger members of the family but were also practiced by the elders. Parents' word ...

  Life often presents us with challenges that can make us question our choices, priorities, and the things we hold dear. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of success, career goals, and personal achievements, but sometimes, in the process, we overlook what truly matters — the people who have been there for us from the very beginning. This is a reminder of the importance of loving and appreciating your parents while you still have the chance. The Pressure of Success In today’s fast-paced world, many of us focus intensely on our careers, studies, and personal goals. We are often driven by the desire to make our parents proud, to achieve milestones that will bring them happiness and pride. We might even convince ourselves that our success will have a significant impact on their well-being, as if landing that dream job or achieving a major accomplishment will somehow make everything better for them. While this ambition is commendable, it’s important to realize that success doesn...

  In many cultures, a woman’s body, especially her breasts, is often considered one of the most attractive features. Society has cultivated a perception of breasts as an alluring part of a woman's physical form, leading to an inherent desire to cover this part of the body when in public. The intention behind this practice is to protect a woman’s privacy and avoid drawing unwanted attention. However, this raises the question: why has society attached such a strong emphasis on concealing and often idealizing this body part? The Social Constructs Around Breasts Breasts have been viewed through a lens shaped by societal norms, often linked to notions of sexual maturity and attractiveness. From the moment a girl reaches puberty, her body undergoes changes that are frequently marked and noticed based on the development of her breasts. These physical changes are often used to signal a woman’s transition into adulthood or her stage in life, be it adolescence or middle age. Breasts have bee...
