Be Practical…!

 Basic Rules for a Peaceful Life

By Dr. Sunil S Rana


Life is too short to keep living by mere formalities. Yet, many of us spend years doing exactly that; constantly adjusting, endlessly accommodating, and always worrying, “Wo bura na maan jaaye” or “Koi ni, agar usne phone nahi uthaya, wo busy hoga.”


But the truth, which we often choose to overlook, is that sometimes the other person is simply ignoring you. Their silence is not always busyness; their absence is not always circumstantial. And still, we keep making excuses for them, trying to maintain a balance that often tilts only one way.


We fail to recognise the subtle language of disrespect; messages left unanswered, calls ignored, visits never reciprocated, and a consistent lack of effort from their side. Out of habit, or perhaps fear of losing relationships, we keep stretching ourselves thin to fit into spaces where we are not valued.


The reality is simple: meaningful relationships thrive on mutual effort, not on one-sided compromise.

If someone truly values you, they will make time for you, no matter how busy life gets. And if they don’t, it’s a sign to stop overextending yourself.


Here are some basic rules to make your life more peaceful:


  • Visit those who visit you.
  • Call those who call you.
  • Respect those who respect you.
  • Support those who support you.
  • Ignore those who ignore you.


Life is too short to adjust for everyone. Place people where they truly belong in your life; some close to your heart, others at a distance. Not out of bitterness, but out of self-respect and peace of mind.


After all, a peaceful life is not about how many people are around you; it’s about how many truly stand by you…

Where Lies True Happiness…!?!

THE REAL HAPPINESS OF LIFE (A Journey into Real Happiness and Peace) :By Dr Sunil S Rana  If Even Lata Mangeshkar Didn’t Want to Be Reborn as Herself… Then Where Lies True Happiness? Once, in an interview, when the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, the Saraswati of Indian singing, was asked, “Would you like to be born as Lata Mangeshkar again in your next birth?” She replied with quiet honesty: “…Agar waakayee janm mila mujhe to main Lata Mangeshkar banna nahi chahungi. Lata Mangeshkar ki jo takleefen hain, wo usko hi pata hai…” Imagine this for a moment. The “Nightingale of India,” a name synonymous with devotion, discipline, melody, and unmatched glory, admitted that she wouldn’t want to return as herself. And she is not alone. If tomorrow Modi ji were to say, “I don’t want to be reborn as Modi,” or if Tata, Ambani, Shahrukh, Salman expressed the same, wouldn’t it shake our illusions? We, as ordinary people, look at these icons, dream of their lives, and chase the shadows of m...

She Will Face The World Empty Hand, If it’s For Her Child…!

A Mother Can Never Be Wrong By Dr. Sunil S Rana In the grand symphony of life, if there exists one note that resonates with eternal purity, it is that of a mother’s love. No matter how we define roles, relationships, or responsibilities, the place of a mother stands at the pinnacle; above every judgment, beyond every debate. A mother’s role is supreme, and nothing can overshadow it. She is the divine vessel of creation; conceiving life within her for nine long months, silently enduring pain, discomfort, and unimaginable physical changes. Yet, she smiles; not for herself, but for the unborn soul she nurtures in her womb. That silent endurance, that selfless sacrifice, is something no man can ever truly comprehend. The Misconceived Notion of “Co-ownership” Many men proudly claim to be the “co-owners” of their children; a phrase that sounds logical on paper but collapses in spirit. The creation of life may require two bodies, but the continuation of life demands one soul; the mother’s. Fr...

Show Some Respect to Humanity…!

Thumbs Up Is Not Enough: A Humble Request to Friends and Well-Wishers By Dr. Sunil S Rana In today’s hyperconnected world, where a WhatsApp forward travels faster than the blink of an eye, I often wonder: Why have people become so insensitive even to their own friends and relatives? We are quick to forward jokes, memes, and “Good Morning” images, expecting a flood of thumbs up and smiley emojis in return. But alas! When it comes to genuine requests, heartfelt messages, or meaningful content, the same people who flood groups with forwards suddenly turn silent. The Irony of WhatsApp Appreciation: Let me take a simple example. I share my blog daily with over 7,800 contacts; connections I have built painstakingly over years of professional and personal interactions. These blogs are not mindless forwards; they are thoughts from the heart, researched reflections, and genuine attempts to make a difference. Thousands have appreciated my writing. Yet, when it comes to engaging with ...
