DIARY DYNAMISM

Daily Diary is Self Development

Modern day lifestyle is a roller coaster ride. Time is like flowing sand, which does not allow you to stand still and think. So how do we develop ourselves? Is there a way out? Either enrol yourself in a month long course at some behavioural training institute or start writing a diary.

Maintaining a daily diary and self-development seem to be two distant relatives with nothing in common. But the moment you start writing a diary, you take the first step towards self-development. It polishes your personality, cleanses your perception and boosts your confidence. You start believing in your inner self rather than pleading to be understood by the world.

Writing daily diary is generating discipline. And if written innovatively, can yield rich results. It is a fact that computers have made people lazy and spilling ink on paper has become a thing of the yore. But compel yourself to get active, pick up the pen and start writing a diary.

The next question, which arises, is how does daily diary bring about self-development? Well, it is a multi faceted phenomenon. Great people from the past made it a point to detail important and unimportant events of their lives in their diaries. They have become epics.

Every night, before you retire to your bed, steal some time and sit down to write a diary. Try to note down the day’s events in your diary. This practice makes you think. Your mind starts thinking faster. You compel your mind to think harder by recalling every single incident that took place in the whole day. It is nothing less than aesthetic yoga for your mind.

A diary is your private property. Treat it like the costliest treasure found on a virgin island. Do not part with the facts you tend to pen down with others. Write what you feel, write what you think and enjoy reading them at your own convenience.

Be honest while writing your diary. There is no use lying to your own self. Your diary is your reflection. No one is going to read your diary except some idol minds, which tend to hamper everything that is good around him or her.

Discipline comes naturally while writing a diary. Even if you had been through the busiest schedules of a hectic day, you save some energy to write down your diary. There is no use in accounting three-day events of your life in one day.

People who pen down their goals and aspirations from earlier stages of life emerge as successful icons of future. Some may argue that this is a myth. But trying is the best way to reach a destination called ‘Success’. If you set a goal and write it down in your diary, you will try three times harder to achieve it. No one can stop you from doing so. And if they do so, just flip through the pages of your diary, which will rejuvenate your mind and again inspire you to be unique.

At times, diaries have helped in winning wars and cracking murder mysteries. History stands witness to such events. Personal autobiographies come to life, when people dig into their diaries to search for facts, which might have faded from their memories. And if you are a perfectionist, start maintaining a diary of your official work too and you will discover how you can manage things faster. Diaries can make you realise the changes in your life.

So if you still think that maintaining a diary is a hapless activity, do think again? Make life exciting and enjoy developing your own self.

WHAT

Crimes through newspaper promotions

Almost every newspaper I have come across in the recent times with a classified section. It has existed since past unknown years. Mid Day, Afternoon Despatch and Courier, The Times of India, the recently launched DNA and almost every single newspaper print this information of organised but undisclosed information of a less known crime.

Normally, these advertisements are printed under the category of entertainment, appointments, personals and fun time. Given are several mobile numbers belonging to various renowned networks.

The ads are read as:

Make friends and get entertained 24 hours in company of elite women. Friendship, escort service and picnics organised on weekends. Call up Miss XYZ on 98xxxxxxxx or 98xxxxxxxx for instant membership. Female members can avail of free membership.

This is just the beginning. There are numerous perverts who do call up on these numbers and even decent human beings, who are looking out for some good company. But, what they come across is a thick net of sleazy flesh trade. Once, you entangle yourself in the services provided by them, you are bound to get addicted.

These service providers boast of spreading themselves all around India. On seeking contact, they readily agree to send a representative to your doorstep / office / or at a destination of your choice. There are certain membership fees ranging from Rs. 700 (minimum) to Rs. 20,000. After the payment being made, you are handed over a list of 50 to 100 females with their mobile numbers. They have their own rate cards. For going out on a date, they claim to charge less. For movies, the rates are phenomenal comprising refreshment charges, conveyance and much more. For an entire day outing, they are quite creative. They have good contacts with guest house owners and farm houses.

If you don’t believe this, watch Sansani on Star News, Crime Patrol on Sony TV, Crime Diary on ETV Bangla and other crime based realty shows.

Still, why the well read people are not paying attention to the crime, which is spreading like an irreparable virus? This is why millions of people are taking other people’s privacy for granted. This is a social threat to the entire nation.

The best way to stop it is to prohibit it from getting advertised in the local newspapers or by nabbing them vide their mobile numbers.

The biggest surprising element is the females who come from good family backgrounds. Some do it for fun. Around 30% of them are compelled to do so. In fact, some college going girls do it to earn their pocket money.

If this practice is not stopped a.s.a.p, this cancer will engulf the future generation and it would be impossible for all of us to get rid of this stigma.
