Image source People "talk" less often these days. The verbal expression that gives a true sense of care and love is diminishing. We prefer to show our love and care digitally, through emojis and texts. But what about the basic essence of having a conversation? Aren't we missing that? Are we sure that we are able to convey our feelings through these texts and emojis? Even if we can articulate well, are we confident that the other person would be able to read between the lines, look into the eyes of the emojis and understand our feelings? This lack of emotion is affecting our daily life as stress, misunderstanding between friends, partners and parents. Even our kids are not spared. This is the dark side of the digital world. Fortunately, little effort is required to keep the things in place. Make it a habit of talking regularly with your friends, partners, parents and kids, verbally. Spend some time with them.

In this battle, we lose our own beloved and dear ones. If we were working towards our dreams, we won't be ignorant to our friends and...

God, knowingly or unknowingly we keep referring to in our daily lives. But ever wondered if there is really a God? If yes, then how does he or she looks like? Theist or atheist, we all keep some sort of relation to this word. Why do we have God at all in our daily life, regardless of which religion we belong to? We often use God to attribute some of the unforeseen circumstances to, which are beyond our control. Every religion has some God or Goddess, who do have their own significance and they portray a specific character highlighting their qualities. In India, Ram(or Rama) for example describes an ideal human and an ideal King, Krishna, who is considered to be a great friend, and true leader guides us on how we should live our lives.
