A visit to Mughal Garden, Rashtrapati Bhavan @ Delhi

It was a month of February 2019, on Wednesday morning, I was having bites of puri sabzi (a routine breakfast in North India) in my balcony, having a glance of clear sky, enjoying the combination of good weather and beautiful cloudy sky. Suddenly I heard a beep sound of my mobile. When I checked my mobile for message, it was a pleasant surprise as my friend had texted me a message on whats app group asking about a visit to Mughal Garden. Though I have been living in Delhi for many years, I never could visit these wonderful places. So I just got up and became ready to go for a walk to remember. Whenever after watching mobile phone I went outside the house, my mother used to give a suspicious and angry look as if I was going to marry some girl against her wish. Being the youngest in the family I was scolded by all elders for no reason.

I was always a latecomer in my group. My friends were, as usual, waiting for me at Janakpuri with irritated faces. I had no option but to greet them with my innocent smile. From there we had to reach Central Secretariat metro station. From Central Secretariat, we walked along the Rajpath discussing all current political, sports-related news to reach Mughal Garden. Discussion on political affairs while walking makes it easy to make the feet forget the pain and save the auto fare.

Finally, we arrived at Mughal Garden. For a moment I felt so still when got a live glimpse of beautiful smiling flowers from so many diverse breeds. Despite being a weekday many people had come to visit Mughal Garden, located in Rashtrapati Bhavan. It opens for the visitors only for one month, generally from February to March. It's the time when the severe cold season of Delhi takes rest and Spring Season comes on the stage.

Mughal Garden was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the British architect who had designed Delhi. He blended the Mughal style and the English flower system. The garden takes pride in growing 159 celebrated varieties of Rose and 60 varieties of bougainvillaeas along with a number of other flowers. It is rightly called the paradise of flowers.

After staying there for two hours, there was huge satisfaction in our minds as we enjoyed the company of the rich and rare horticulture tradition of Mughal Garden.

How To Attract the Best in Life

Each one of us wants the best experiences in our life. But there is a gap between us and the best experience which can't be bridged until we develop a true understanding of life. To develop a true understanding of life, we need to understand the basic nature of the body-mind mechanism. Our body reacts the way our mind is programmed, so to get success we need to equip our mind with positive ideas. We will understand this theory of programming our mind with positivity in the following paragraph: " We become what we think " is an old saying which has been preached since ages by the enlightened masters and experienced people to make us conscious about our thoughts. The reason behind this saying is that our own core beliefs shape the circumstances of life . If we have cultivated only negative feeling like fear of failure, fear of disease, jealousy, anxiety etc., we witness the negative consequences of these deep-rooted beliefs throughout our life. Therefo

How to Sleep Well- A simple treatment for Insomnia without pills

Many people suffer from sleeping disorders like insomnia, oversleeping or nightmares while dreaming. A restless sleep makes the whole day boring and non-productive. A person suffering from these problems feels irritated throughout the day and has to depend on pills. The most unfortunate thing is that it becomes very difficult to get treatment for these problems as the doctors charge very high fees and yet can't provide any permanent solution. Thankfully, some ancient meditative traditions provide very simple solutions to these problems. Let the few things be very clear. There are three states of life which are known as waking life, dreaming life and deep sleep. Let us know these terms in detail : Waking Life : The state which we know as a conscious state and experience it mostly in the daytime. It contains the active part of life when we experience our body as true identity with our eyes open and sense organs working in harmony to perceive the physical wo

How to get permanent motivation in life

It has been the biggest query of the ambitious masses since time immemorial, how to get permanent motivation in life. For most people, the main problem lies in the fact that when we read or listen to any motivational thing, the motivation remains for some time, and then slowly fades away. Without motivation, it becomes difficult for the mind to come out of the comfort zone and do the tasks required for achieving higher goals. After going through many works of spiritual literature, I found a unified theory of being happy, peaceful, and motivated for whole life which would keep our mental energy at best to accomplish any target we have set. Let's begin this theory with a basic understanding of our own existence. The world exists outside only because our body has consciousness. No matter whatever we achieve in this physical world, the material comforts or pleasures don't give us permanent happiness or motivation. It moves the question towards our o
