GO THE EXTRA MILE AND MAKE VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL
Valentine’s Day is around the
corner,now is the time to plan and make the day special. Are you among the
ones who want something exhilarating, fun and adventures to spice up the
special day? This list is for you! In this blog, we have listed out some unique
ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Go the extra mile and please your special
one.
1 Write
a letter. Yes, go old school and write a letter. That is a gesture which is
very sweet indeed. We live in a digital age where everything happens at the
touch of a button. But it simply doesn’t have the same mojo as going back in
time.
1 Weekend
Getaways. Plan a romantic weekend getaway at the hills, away from the
nuisance of technology and those you see every day.
1 Activities
for Couples. Do you want to feel the same adrenalin rush, sweaty-palm and
heart-pounding feeling when you first fell in love? Participate in an adventure
with your special one. A lot of activities are available for couples
who don’t mind the adrenaline rush. From skydiving to bungee jumping to wall
climbing, these activities are not only fun to do but also an exhilarating
experience.
1 Trekking.
A tiresome activity that has its rewards. Experience nature as it tries to take
a toll on you. Spend the night on top of a hill and sleep under the stars for
the perfect moment.
1 Long
drives. A lot of drives in India offer a greater spectrum of experience. “Couples
who travel together are more likely to stay together and feel more connected”. So pack your bags and go for a long trip.
1 Cycle
high. Make it a point to show commitment to each other and go on a long cycle
ride. Mind you that this is for those who don’t mind a little sweat. Cycle to a
certain point and show your commitment.
P. S. Don’t forget to bring flowers
though.

Relevance of Thanksgiving Day
“A
thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other
virtues.” – Cicero
Every year on the last Thursday of November,
people in Canada and US gather for a day of feasting, football and family.
While this age’s Thanksgiving celebrations would be a far cry from the original
harvest meal of 1621, it continues to be a day for Americans to come together
around the table—albeit with some updates to Pilgrim’s menu.
The original occupants of the ship
‘Mayflower’ left Plymouth in September 1620 with 102 passengers. After
travelling for 66 days they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod. They
stayed aboard the ship to survive the brutal winter despite facing exposure, scurvy
and outbreaks of contagious diseases. Finally they got off the ship and were
welcomed by the Native Americans. Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe
taught the travelers (Mayflower settlers) how to cultivate corn, extract sap,
catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants.
In November 1621, a feast was organized to
celebrate the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest. Governor William Bradford invited a
group of the fledgling colony’s Native American allies including the Wampanoag
chief Massasoit. This is now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”!
In 1817, New York became the first of
several states to officially adopt an annual Thanksgiving holiday. Thereafter, each
state celebrated it on a different day. In 1827, Sarah Josepha Hale advocated Thanksgiving
as a national holiday. Hale was the noted magazine editor and prolific writer
credited with the words for “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. In 1863, after 36 years
of strife, Abraham Lincoln finally gave in to Hale’s request in the midst of
the Civil War. It was a proclamation beseeching all Americans to ask God to take
care of all those who had become widows or orphans. It was a plea to aid the mourners
and the people who had suffered in the civil war so that they could unite under
a common banner and treat the wounds of the nation.
And now, after almost four hundred years,
this day is gradually becoming a day for families to get together to feast. The
whole family gathers at the meal and start by saying grace. The meal usually
consists of roasted turkey, pumkin pie, cranberries, mashed potatoes with
gravy, sweet corn, etc.
Thanksgiving Day in India signifies a
bountiful harvest and flourishing of wealth. Though not celebrated with the
same fervor as our western counterparts, it is a holiday that we do understand.
We ought to embrace it as we as Indians have a lot to be thankful for. We are a
part of a family oriented society. Thankfulness is a blessed attitude expressed
towards others. Thanksgiving Day is a day to take a moment and reflect on what
actions can be taken in the next year to fully express the meaning of appreciation.
As we sit down to dinner this Thanksgiving,
spend a few moments giving thanks. Also, lets share with our family and friends
what actions we will take in the next year to fully express the meaning of
Thanksgiving. Let us learn to appreciate what we have in life!

Gifts That Are Engraved In History That Reverberate The Need Of Gifting
If people stopped gifting, we would not have seen “The Taj
Mahal” or read “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Two inspiring stories of gifting, the
former an epitome of love, where Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife build
one of the most spectacular monument in the history, which took almost 22 years
and 22,000 workers and the latter, a token of care which demonstrates how a
thoughtful gift could produce one of America’s bestselling books, here is how
the Harper Lee story goes…
Harper lee was working as a ticket agent for a British Airline.
Even though she was passionate about writing she didn’t have the liberty of
time or financial freedom to pursue her passion. She once shared her passion
and concern with her friends Michael and Joy Brown, a couple who Harper Lee was
very close to but least did she expect that these two people would change her
life for ever.
During Christmas in 1956, Lee woke up to a surprise; she found
an envelope which was hung to a Christmas tree, with the natural curiosity of a
writer she opened the envelop, to her astonishment it had a hand written note
from Michael and Joy Brown, the note read like this” 'You have one year off
from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas” The couple
sponsored Lee for an entire year and rest is history. Every day we stumble upon
thousands of stories which echo ‘why gifting is important’.
Gifting has a special place in our everyday lives. When you feel
words aren’t just enough to show how much you care, respect or love then a gift
can express all this. So why wait? Show your loved ones how much you care, love
and cherish them. Happy Gifting!
