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…

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...

The Fragile Thread of Love: Why Relationships Deserve Patience, Not Impulse By Dr. Sunil S. Rana Relationships are not built in a day, nor are they sustained by mere obligations. They are woven slowly- thread by thread- with affection, empathy, respect, and an unspoken commitment to stand by one another. This eternal truth has been beautifully captured by the great poet Rahim in his timeless couplet: “रहिमन धागा प्रेम का, मत तोड़ो चटकाय। टूटे से फिर ना जुड़े, जुड़े गाँठ परि जाय॥” Meaning: Rahim reminds us that the bond of love is like a delicate thread. Once broken in anger or haste, it is extremely difficult to restore. Even if rejoined, it bears a knot- a reminder of hurt, distrust, or bitterness. In today’s fast-paced world, where tempers are short and egos are large, this simple doha carries profound wisdom. Love: A Thread More Delicate Than Silk: Modern relationships often fall prey to impulsiveness, miscommunication, and ego-driven reactions. We speak before thin...

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND…!

  Character Assassination: The Modern Weapon of the Weak By Dr. Sunil S Rana Introduction: The Subtlest Form of Violence In today’s world of instant opinions and viral judgments, truth has become negotiable and character — disposable. No longer do people destroy others with swords or bullets; they do it with whispers, screenshots, and half-truths . It takes only a few words, often spoken by the weak, to make the strong appear guilty. Character assassination is not an act of courage; it is an act of cowardice — a silent dagger held by those who lack the strength to fight fair. It is the easiest war to start and the hardest wound to heal. The Fragile Reputation in a Loud World We live in an era where one’s reputation can collapse faster than a lie can travel. Social media has turned judgment into entertainment; people watch, comment, and share as if someone’s dignity were a public spectacle. The tragedy is that truth no longer needs evidence — only amplification . A whi...
