(6 ii) 5 Ways to Make Someone's Day

-

  1. Write a compliment 


A handwritten piece of kind words brings a broad smile on anyone’s face instantly. When you admire something in someone, expressing it could make their day. When you write it on a paper, they can revisit it whenever they wish to feel good.  


  1. Listen to a memorable song you both enjoy


Music is nostalgic. Good memories bring positive emotions and help you to keep going.

Sing your heart out together to your favorite tune. Music is proved to be therapaetic in nature. When it is paired up by a warm person's presence, it makes it all the more relaxing. Give them a personal therapy with a favourite music.      

 

  1. Spend few minutes to listen to how their day was


Though we ask ‘how are you ?’ very casually, taking some time to ask how the person is honestly feeling would make a world of difference. Just listen to them, even to their silence. Share a couple of minutes with them, be present with no agenda.  


  1. Tell them a positive story

            Storytelling is one of the best ways to connect. Sharing a beautiful story you came across
            would leave the person with a positive feeling if not inspiration. Tell that funny incident on the
            bus or a thoughtful video that made you reflect. Growth is a beautiful thing to share.

    
        5. Take them to a new place as a surprise

             A walk to a new park, a visit to a nearby art gallery or a sunset point you just discovered,
             anything that would be a new experience to them. Traveling and exploring novelty is an
             effective way to take a break from the mundane chores and relax.

(4) AI Redefines Bare Minimum of Writing

-
“Our need will be the real creator”, said Plato in his Republica . Plato was one of the countless thinkers and philosophers across human history who tried to understand the complexity of how humans think and express, especially through literature. Writing has been one of the oldest forms of not just communication but also a tool of creativity and an infinite space for human imagination. Humans have evolved and so has our writing. So much so that today, we have created artificial intelligence to do our expression for us.  Going by what Plato said, what has led to the need to create such artificial interference in our writing? This becomes an important question to ask ourselves. I believe it could be because of two developments. First, is the digital age of information overload we have built, that has consequently led to the drastic reduction in our attention spans. The result is the desperate need for the quickest solutions. What AI does is reduce the days or weeks a writer would pu...
