Greet Everyone With A Smile

-

 




Good morning reader,

Recently I have been experimenting with daily etiquette with consciousness and found it utterly fulfilling. Today's blog is my take on "The propriety of greetings".

I know it sounds silly, but the consciousness of this small habit/ritual began when I was teaching my kids the "Good Habits" lesson a year back.

Namaste, Good morning, Good night, and All the best … or a mere smile, a hand-wave…or a WhatsApp message with a kind hello message…sometimes greetings become very words, with or without any feelings created. Greeting the house help with a smile or wishing the exam-going students an "All the best", even though internally I don't know their ability.. may bring a glimpse of confidence in them and a moment of a smile on my face.

Greetings are not mere words but high-energy blessings, where we firmly believe only lovely things should happen to the other person. These greetings are the way to radiate our enthusiasm and the easiest way to showcase the best of our intentions.

Sometimes people ignore the greetings in the name of ‘being busy’, but I always wonder whether anyone is genuinely so busy just to revert to a smile or hello. But at times, I have felt the greetings are said so casually that it remains a phrase with no feelings attached. These feelingless greetings bring no emotional fulfilment and are a burdened courtesy.

With the post covid times, and after encountering innumerable death news worldwide, we must not forget the importance of being alive and human. After all, life may be small, but we can make it large with our acts.

I earnestly urge you to revisit the importance of greetings. I am sharing my share of the importance of greetings- cum - advice…the list here is not original but a recollection from various reads-

1. Greet everyone enthusiastically when you meet them for the first time in the day - family, neighbours, strangers, co-travellers and colleagues. It's an opportunity to create and radiate pure energy.

2. Smiling and greeting people genuinely takes more or less than 3 seconds. Create an intention and conviction that their day will be perfect. This raises the vibrations of people and the environment. And you are the first to experience happiness due to your good thoughts.

3. Voluntarily greet people. Do not be reluctant just because someone is younger by age, junior by position, or if ego stops you. Radiate goodness to everyone, every time.

4. Even if someone does not acknowledge, sustain your beautiful quality. Continue to greet them the next day…and the next. Watch how the energy positively impacts you and them.

Greetings may or may not improve relationships, but it has the immense power to change how we feel about a person, place and ourselves. Let us become the ambassadors of positive energy only. đŸ’¥

Thank you for reading the blog, and have a blessed day!!đŸ˜‡

Who is She?

She Disclaimer- This post is a modest pour-out of sensitivities or rather it is my way of introspection, after hearing numerous elements of violence on women as circulated in various media platforms. We often feel proud in saying that "we have changed as a society and are now more human", but is it so? She is strong. She is empowered. She is a Devi. She is the centrifugal point of the world. These sayings are some of the stinging satire of our so-called modern society. Many say She has been liberated … from whom . She has been freed … from which conservators . She has been permitted to tell her mind … although her spoken words directly filter out from their ego . And yes, she has been allowed to wear anything … with a big BUT involved. She is a day-to-day companion in the community. She can be seen administering home and kids, running in offices, standing tall in politics, cooking quietly in the kitchen, driving hard with a focus in mind. She is present anywhere and everywhe...

Who is he?

Disclaimer- After briefing my view on her through the blog post " Who is She  ", this post is an attempt at my introspection on the “status” of the other  "50% " of the population. The basis of the write-up is what I have observed and felt. Is He a Ram or a Raavan? Is He a Krishna or a Kansa? Is He a Kalki or a Kali? Glory is his other name, or is it retirement time for this whimsical term? Since the inception of cultures and civilisations, males in our societies have been set to perform and tick specific criteria. The he-man of our society has since tried his best to live up to this reputation over time. However, nervousness is visible in him, primarily in the current times, when his defined roles are being questioned, and he himself conflicts with the hypothesis of malehood. These defined his-roles are formulated either through self-imposed judgments gathered from the experiences of others or through upbringing notions set in him, leading to specific ima...

The Missing Goat (Small Story)

Absence vs Presence Disclaimer- It is a popular story shared on social networks.  It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon in a small town near Toronto in Canada.  Two school-going friends had a crazy idea.  They rounded up three goats from the neighborhood and painted the number 1, 2 and 4 on their sides. That night they let the goats loose inside their school building.  The next morning, when the authorities entered the school, they could sense ( & smell!! ) something was wrong.  They soon saw goat droppings on the stairs and near the entrance and realized that some goats had entered the building.  A search was immediately launched and very soon, the three goats were found.  But the authorities were worried, where was goat No. 3?  They spent the rest of the day looking for goat No.3.  Gradually there was panic and frustration.  The school declared classes off for the students for the rest of the day.  The teachers, helpers, gu...
