What moves you every day to go out into the world to fulfil your responsibilities?

---

The patriarchal mindset of society is no longer dominant in a democratic country like INDIA. Although we are still a developing nation some evils that were previously prevalent in society have almost vanished. Women were previously considered to be meant to reside within the premises of the home but a dramatic change has occurred and equal opportunities are available for both males and females as for the work culture of our society is concerned.

As a female, I am working as a teacher in a school while both males and females are working as well as studying. Multiple factors propel me out into the world to fulfil my responsibilities. First and foremost is my passion to contribute to the development of society. All the evils that were prevalent in society have been eradicated because of education. So it is my responsibility as a conscious citizen of society to impart education to our younger generation so that we can achieve more development. Society has made me capable of teaching others by first teaching me. I consider it my obligatory duty to carry this process forward.

The second thing is that, I do not want to be dependent on someone as for financial liabilities are concerned. Dependent people are often considered a burden to society. To live my life with dignity, I don't want to be an dependent on society.

The third thing that motivates me to keep going out to fulfil my responsibilities is a constant urge to groom and grow myself. While going out I get a chance to interact with others and monitor the behaviour of other people, so I get to learn many good things and also get rid of many bad things as well. So I would gradually grow into a good human being.

What things do you do or what methods do you use to keep yourself in balance? Explain (health, beauty, fitness, sport, devotion).

---

It is necessary to maintain a balance in life. To live a balanced life one has to give equal weight to all the factors that contribute to the balance of life like health, physical fitness and work as well. If we indulge in any particular activity without considering others then our life will be monotonous and dull. So overall development of life must take place As for my life is concerned, I perform the following activities to maintain a balance.

To keep myself at peace, I meditate every day. From my personal experience, I can say that meditation is a potential tool to maintain peace of mind. For smooth functioning of the body, sound mind has to be present. Morever I do not stress myself with the day-to-day activities. Ups and downs are meant to be there and that's how life goes but taking stress is not a good practice and reflects an immature personality. However, for physical fitness, I do nothing other than home chores.

To maintain physical beauty, I avoid using any chemicals on my face except during functions. I believe the beauty products that are sold in the market are just business stunts and are harmful to the human body. The best practice is to have a routine wash of body and hair with simple water . In case of any mild face or body problem, I do consult a doctor and use medicated products.

The third and most important component of life is a sound social life. I am an extrovert female and I am very much social. Wherever I go, I maintain sound social relationships with everyone. I don't like egoistic people. As social beings, we should have a healthy social life. Whenever I get time, I prefer to enjoy myself with my friends and family. In case of adversity in life, social relations have a significant role to play. As good humans, we should be able to share and console others in their adverse periods so that when any adverse event befalls, we too may have people around with whom we can speak our heart out.

Do you feel that there are things you can improve in your routine? mention them

---

No one is perfect in life and to be successful in life one has to continuously learn and add new things to life. I believe there are some things that I should work on and adopt in my life to make my life better.

The first and foremost thing that I would like to improve in my life is to adopt a habit of routine physical exercise. Physically I am too weak and my weight is lesser than it should be as for my age is concerned. Technically, I can say that my weight for my age is less. I think I need routine physical exercise to keep myself physical fit

The second improvement that I need to have in my life is my food habits. I am not a foody girl. I think my eating capacity is less but my health is getting affected because of my poor eating habits. My parents constantly remind me about not eating adequate food. At the same time, I would like to mention that I do not eat junk food too. So that's good .

The third improvement that I would like to have in my life is anger management therapy. I am being told by my parents and siblings that I get angry routinely and easily. I fear that too much anger can spoil relations sometimes and therefore I should have some timely intervention to learn how to manage it.

---

Would you like to add any other routine to your life? What would?

---

One routine that I would like to add is a regular morning walk. I do get up early in the morning and do morning prayers and later get busy with the home chores. However, I believe I can manage some time for a morning walk. Even though I thought to walk a mile at home in our lawn but due to my lackadaisical approach towards physical health, I am not able to adopt it.

---

Are you satisfied with your current lifestyle or do you think it could improve?

---

As for my lifestyle is concerned, I would like to explore the luxuries of life that are there in developed countries. By luxuries of life, I mean access to better technology in every field, especially education and health. We know that there is a lot of difference between the technology prevailing in any sector of the developing countries and that of developed countries.

I want my students to have access to advanced technology just like their counterparts in the developed World. I want to be in a society where Healthcare is of utmost standard so that all can have a healthy life.

I want to live in a society that's truly democratic and where there is no disparity based on caste, colour, creed, religion and sex. I want to be in a progressive environment with self-styled life.

As for my personal life is concerned, I have mentioned things above which i think I should work upon and change otherwise I am satisfied with what I have. I believe in the quote that a bird in hand is better than two in a bush. I am not greedy for anything and whateverever I have been bestowed, I am satisfied with that.

---

Which of the routines you perform would you recommend?

---

I don't believe I am someone who can recommend things to others but I am here to learn from other people. But for the sake of question and from the experience, one thing that has constantly brought improvements in my life would be a routine to recommend it to others is meditation.

Meditation has played a dramatic role to stabilize my mental health and keep me tuned up and well going every time. I have seen that whenever people have some adversity in their life, they start meditating and when adversity is gone, meditation is also gone. Another class of people that I have seen keep on complaining that they have done meditation for something and nothing has happened in their life.

My suggestion would be to make it a routine like eating food and not do it for some purpose. Meditation would only help if you follow it on a routine basis without any desired purpose. It should not be a time-bound process. Practice it as a routine and see the changes in your life.

Thanks
