From Likes to Life Lessons: A Tale of Digital Wisdom – Wise Grandmother !!
Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there lived a young woman named Emma. Emma was a social media butterfly, fluttering from one platform to another, basking in the glow of likes, shares, and comments. She loved the thrill of going viral and the dopamine rush that came with every notification.
One day, Emma noticed that her friend Max was always posting about his amazing parties. The photos were filled with laughter, drinks, and seemingly endless fun. "Wow," thought Emma, "I need to be part of this scene!" So, she started attending more parties, each one more extravagant than the last.
At first, it was all fun and games. Emma enjoyed the social aspect and the newfound popularity. But soon, she noticed that her social media feed was filled with images of alcohol and wild nights out. The more she saw, the more she felt the need to keep up. Peer pressure had gone digital, and Emma was on the verge of getting hooked.
One evening, Emma's wise grandmother, Nana, noticed her scrolling through her phone with a worried look. "Emma, dear, what's troubling you?" Nana asked. Emma sighed and explained how she felt pressured to keep up with the party lifestyle she saw online.
Nana chuckled and said, "Let me tell you a story. When I was your age, we didn't have social media, but we had our own pressures. The key is to find balance and not let these things control you". Nana shared some tips with Emma:
Set Boundaries: Limit your time on social media and be mindful of what you consume.
Stay Grounded: Focus on real-life connections and activities that bring you joy.
Be Aware: Understand the risks of substance abuse and avoid situations that might lead to it.
Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or professionals if you feel overwhelmed.
Emma took Nana's advice to heart. She started setting boundaries for her social media use and focused on activities she genuinely enjoyed, like painting and hiking. She also made a conscious effort to avoid situations that might lead to substance abuse
Over time, Emma found that she was happier and more fulfilled. She realized that the curated images on social media didn't define her worth or happiness. By staying grounded and mindful, she avoided the pitfalls of addiction and discovered a more balanced, joyful life.

Good Night Dreamy Thought: "May your dreams be filled with the gentle whispers of the night, guiding you to a place of serenity and calm. Remember, the stars above are watching over you, twinkling with the promise of a new day."
Good Night Story: Mythological Story: "The Nightly Dream of Endymion In ancient Greek mythology, there was a handsome shepherd named Endymion. He was known for his unparalleled beauty and his love for the night sky. Every evening, he would lie on a hill and gaze at the stars, dreaming of the mysteries they held. One night, the moon goddess Selene saw Endymion and was captivated by his beauty. She descended from the heavens and gently kissed his forehead, casting a spell that allowed him to have the most peaceful and rejuvenating sleep each night. Every evening, as the sun set and the stars began to twinkle, Endymion would fall into a deep, restful sleep. Selene would visit him nightly, watching over him and whispering sweet lullabies. She shared stories of the cosmos, ensuring his dreams were filled with wonder and peace. Endymion's nightly slumber became a symbol of perfect tranquility, a reminder that each night brings an opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. As you close your eyes tonight, imagine yourself under the same starry sky, with the gentle presence of Selene guiding you to a realm of beautiful dreams. Sleep well and wake refreshed, ready to embrace the new day." Sweet dreams! 🌙✨

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
The Poet, William Wordsworth, captures his awe/wonder of nature through the platform of poetry. In this poem, the poet captures three essential elements namely, a. his wonder for rainbow/nature in general, b. how this wonder remained intact all through the years until then when this poem was written at the age of 32, and how he would like to retain it all through his life, c. most importantly, this poem captures the importance of retaining child's curiosity
Note: Child's curiosity is distinctly different than Childishness. For example, having the mind to see all the political gimmicks completely right before every election would come under child's curious mind; whereas, it is childishness to expect that it would be any different this time.
It is an amalgamation of physics, geometry, nature, and colors that we get to see this natural beauty.
Rainbow is formed when spherical water droplets scatters light at a specific geometric angle to the observer resulting in the dispersion of colors that we see as rainbow.
1. Coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 1994, this term is used to mark post-apartheid South Africa. Connected, please check out this interesting op-ed on, rainbow nation myth
2. Rainbow formation is a unique mix of physics, geometry, nature, colors, and the observer. Since the Isaac Newton's times, we have known and accepted the presence of seven distinct colors namely, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet going by the acronym, ROYGBIV. However, in reality, rainbow is not a pure spectrum and includes a mix of multiple colors spanning red to violet.
3. The mythological goddess of rainbow is the greek goddess, Iris. As per mythology, Greek Goddess Iris builds the rainbow as a bridge between the heaven and the earth. A quick note: We hope to build products to bridge gap between classes and masses.
4. Polymath Rene Descartes is given the credit for identifying rainbow formation as an optical phenomenon, and Isaac Newton for stating the presence of seven distinct colors in the rainbow.
5. The name of the fish is Rainbow Trout. Rainbow Trout is an adaptable fish, which is native to only certain parts of the world. However, considering their adaptable nature, they are seen around the world now. At the same time, their predatory and invasive nature drives many other species to endangerment. If you would like to drive out an invasive species such as rainbow trout, make the water polluted. But then, polluted water will not serve other species as well.
6. As of now, the longest recorded rainbow was seen in Taiwan in the Yangmingshan Mountain Range. This rainbow lasted for close to 9 hours and happened in 2017. Prior to it, the longest rainbow was recorded in Yorkshire that spanned for six hours or so in the year, 1994. Usually, rainbows last for an hour.
MAHATMA: I am not sure whether it is drops any more, rather the ocean itself appears to be getting dirty -
