Become people's favorite and adopt these tips
today we are telling you some such things. We have to develop such qualities in ourselves that people like us.
ask people how they are :
When someone tells his problem in a conversation, listen carefully and remember his point. After this, whenever you meet that person again, definitely ask about that problem whether it was solved or not? Even if the person is not found, call him yourself and ask about his condition and the problem. In this way, the person in front will feel that you are concerned about him. For example, someone told that he is sick and cannot come to the office, then later you call him and ask how is his health now? Do you need anything? If someone said in a conversation that I have an exam on a particular date, I am preparing for it. So after that date has passed, call him and ask how was the exam? This habit of yours will separate you from others.
Often people cannot remember the names of their distant relatives. Many people forget the names of the people they work with. Some forget the name of their friend's life partner. 'Sorry, what was the name of the child you told? Saying this, he asks the name of the children in every meeting. All these things spoil your image. When relatives also meet in a marriage and ask 'Pehchana mujhe?' Then you get embarrassed. So learn to memorize names the way you used to memorize answers while studying in school. If possible, while saving the friend's name in your mobile, add the names of wife and children along with it. In this way all the names will be visible together. This is a trick. For example 'Mukesh, Kavita, Billu, Pinky'. Save friend Mukesh's number with this name. Sometimes our real image in front of people, Try to hide the situation. We think people will make fun of us or not include us in their own group. In such a situation, sometimes we try to show ourselves rich. Boasts in conversation. Sometimes students exaggerate their low marks. When you do this, you know you are lying. In such a situation, you are always in fear that your lies may get caught. In this way your confidence always remains shaky. Instead, when you present yourself as you are, do not hide anything, then you are not afraid of anything. The truth is reflected in your face. Your confidence also does not drop. One more thing is that many times people come to know your lies, but do not tell you. In such a situation, your image becomes negative. You can never win people's hearts. But don't tell you. In such a situation, your image becomes negative. You can never win people's hearts. But don't tell you.

Listen carefully to what people say. Give them attention. If you are doing any work, stop it and look at him. Apart from this, if someone told you a problem, do not share it with anyone else. Do not talk behind his back, because once that person comes to know that you told this to everyone, then he will never trust you. Many times it happens that someone tells us something and says 'don't tell anyone'. We told our mother, 'Don't tell anyone'. Mother told her best friend 'don't tell anyone'. This chain goes on like this because everyone has someone special, to whom he tells everything. So don't make such mistake. If someone tells you something, keep it to yourself. Don't tell your special someone. This is the right way.
When you go to the house of someone who has children in their house, then take something like chocolate or biscuits or a toy for the child. If there is an elderly person in the house, touch their feet. Ask about their well being. Eat food, have breakfast, then praise it. Never taunt about anything. For example, if there was a marriage in the person's house a few months ago and he did not invite you, then you do not need to taunt that 'Brother, you have not invited us. You have forgotten us.' If you were an important part of his life, he would have definitely called you. May be there is an important part, but due to any compulsion could not call. In such a situation, if you try to show them small by taunting, then you yourself will start looking small. They will start disliking you because of this habit.

Tips for rainy reason
1- Check out your wardrobe and wear those bright colour dresses in rainy season. These will help you look good and even boost up your spirit also. It will also look good, as most often there are clouds during the day in rainy season. It is better to keep the material cotton of your dress in case there is rise in humidity. However, cotton is an all time favorite. Cotton clothing are extremely comfortable and even versatile in changing temperatures.
2- A cute umbrella can be an accessory. There are so many adorable and cheap umbrellas available at stores,so there’s really no excuse to stick to basic black. Buy a couple in your favorite colors if you live in a really rainy area and use them to add color to your look.
3- Go crazy when it comes to rain boots. There are so many cute rain boots out there today to fit any sense of style – they literally come in every color under the sun. Have fun and find a pair you love! Much like umbrellas, you can go completely nuts with your rain boots and no one will mind.
4- Do not use light sleeper it can spread mud on your dress from backside instead of light sleeper use good quality synthetic leather sleepers.
5- Loose, cotton clothes are the best during monsoon. It is advisable to avoid jeans as they do not dry quickly. Also, use talcum/prickly heat power in areas which are more prone to fungal infections. Do not wear wet shoes as this might lead to more infections. Invest in another pair of shoes, so that you have an alternate pair handy. Avoid walking bare footed.
6-Some of the common eye problems during monsoon are conjunctivitis, eye styes, dry eyes, corneal ulcers. Here are a few precautions with which you can avoid these infections from troubling you:
Wash your hands after you touch your face or eyes.
Do not share your eye medicines, contact lens solutions/containers, towels and handkerchiefs with others
Avoid eye makeup when you have an infection
Use an antibacterial lotion
Try not to use your contact lenses when you have an infection
7-Avoid getting your feet wet. In case you do end up walking into one of those puddles, immediately clean and dry them with a soft, dry towel. Dampness can lead to fungal infections and athlete’s foot. These infections might affect your toes and nailsand if you are diabetic, you will have to take special care of your feet. Keep your shoes, socks and raincoats clean and dry at all times.
Using the fumes of dry neem leaves to dry your clothes is said to be helpful.
8-Make sure that you wash all your fruits and vegetables before consuming them, especially leafy vegetables. Steam the leafy vegetables and your cauliflower in order to kill the germs. Contaminated food might lead to illnesses such as jaundice.
Eating freshly cooked food is recommended. Soups and stews are helpful, as they are light and nutritious, but filling. Try and eat cooked food instead of uncooked vegetables and salads, unless they are organic.

Dussehra: The Festival of "Victory of Good over Evil"
Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami is an important Hindu festival. It is celebrated by Indians every year in the Hindu Vikrami Calender month of Ashwin (September / October).
This is also the festival marking end of Navratri and the immersion of Durga idols which are worshipped for nine days prior to Dussehra. Dussehra is also the day when many families start formal education of their kids. The practise has been so old, that in some parts of Kerala, even after conversions to Christianity, some members of the community continued this tradition.
Mythological Significance:
This day marks the triumph of Lord Rama over Demon king Ravana. On this day, Rama killed Ravana and freed his wife Sita after leading an army of monkeys. Sita was taken by Ravana from Ramas Ashram to avenge the insult of his sister Shoorpanakha who had proposed to marry Ram (or Lakshman) but got her nose cut off by Lakshman when she tried to hurt Sita. As per Ramayan, Ram did Chandi-Puja and invoked the blessings of Durga to kill Ravana. The war against Ravan lasted for ten days. Sita had been returned to her husband Ram and they now make their way to Ayodhya in triumph and glory. Thus, it is on the Diwali day that Lord Ram, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the Treta Yug, returned to his capital Ayodhya after the exile of fourteen years.
Belief and Rituals:
Dassera day is considered a most auspicious day. It is a time-honored belief that if any new venture is started on this day, it brings success. Hence, all the undertakings be it laying-in of foundation of a new building, opening of a new commercial establishment or even initiating a child into the world of learning- are started on this day. Houses and shops are decorated with flower studded strings called 'Torans' (Floral Gateways) Also on this day vehicles, machineries, books, weapons & also tools are worshipped.
Celebrations :
Local customs inevitably colour the forms and interpretation that the festival receives regionally, but Rama's victory is always the centrepiece of the celebrations.
On this day, the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghanad are burnt; which are stuffed with crackers. In burning these effigies the people are asked to burn the evil within them, and thus follow the path of virtue and goodness. Especially children enjoy seeing this because of the beautiful fireworks on the ground. The festival which is thought as the 'Victory of Good over Evil' & "Return of God from Exile'.
In Himachal Pradesh, it is famous as "Kullu Dussehra", a week long fair in the hill town of Kullu, is a part of the Dussehra celebrations. From the little temples in the hills, deities are brought in procession to the 'maidan' in Kullu, to pay homage to the reigning deity, Raghunathji.
In Southern India - Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, families arrange dolls (Bommai Kolu) on artificially constructed steps and prepare an elaborate spread of lamps and flowers. Women traditionally exchange gifts of coconuts, clothes and sweets. They sing songs, tell stories that the dolls might depict and eat a dish made out of chickpeas (choondal). The whole set up is put up on the very first day of Navaratri. After the Saraswati pooja on the ninth day, the whole set up is taken down on Vijayadashmi. Vijayadashami is an auspicious occasion for children to commence their education in classical dance and music, and to pay homage to their teachers.
In Western India,especially in Gujarat, the evenings and nights are occasions for the fascinating Garba dance. The women dance around an earthen lamp while singing devotional songs accompanied by rhythmic clapping of hands.
In northern India, the festival wears the colourful garb of Ramlila wherein various incidents from Rama's life are enacted, as is the destruction of Ravana and Bharat Milap, that is the reunion of Ram and his estranged brother Bharat, on the former's return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. People also doing fasting during the nine days of Navratri.
In Bengal, the festival is celebrated as Kali Puja or Durga Puja .The vibrant festivities last for ten days, of which nine nights are spent in worship, 'Navaratri'. The tenth day is devoted to the worship of goddess Durga. Beautiful idols of the Mother Goddess are worshipped in elaborate pandals for nine days, and on the ninth day, these are carried out in procession for immersion (visarjan) in a river or pond.
