चुप रहना। ऊपर वाले ने दो कान दियें है उसका इस्तेमाल करना। लोगो की बकवास बातो को एक कान से सुनकर दूसरे से निकाल देना। अपने पास ब्रेन है और ब्रेन में कई भाग है, जिसमे आप तरह तरह के बातो को हर जगह जमा कर सकते है तो लोगो की अच्छी बातों को इकट्ठा किजिये और बाकी बातो पे मिट्टी डालिये। लोग कितना ही कियु न कहे के आप ये है ऐसे है वैसे है बिगड़ गए है आपमें सलीका नही है इन सब बातों पर भी मिट्टी डालिये और अपनी ज़िंदगी बिल्कुल एक आज़ाद बच्चे की तरह गुज़रिये, जिसे किसी चीज़ की फिक्र नही होती न कल की और न होने वाले हादसों की। अपने सिवा दुसरो पर भी नज़र रखिये खासकर अपने माता पिता पर कियुकि इंसान कि ज़िन्दगी में एक बार नुक्स लग जाए तो फिर डॉक्टर का चक्कर आम हो जाता है। और माता पिता एक ही बार मिलते है। अपने सकुन और खुशियो को दूसरों में नही ढूंढिए बलके खुश रह कर ज़िन्दगी गुज़रिये कियुकि खाने में नमक हो तो नामक की कमि महसूस नही होती और न हो तो खाना बहोत बदमजा लगता है उसी तरह से सच अगर आपके तारीफ में हो तो बुरा नही लगता और अगर आपके खिलाफ हो तो बहोत कड़वा लगता है। कभी कभी अपने दिमाग़ को सकुन दीजये आस पास ह...

छत को गर्म होने से बचाने का सबसे आसान तरीका क्या है?

By
छत को गर्म होने से बचाने के लिए उस पर चूने से पुताई कर दें। एक हजार स्क्वेयर फीट छत के लिए पांच किलो चूना(डले वाला) रात में गला दें। ध्यान रखें पानी डालते ही इस चूने से खूब गर्मी निकलती है कि पानी उबलने लगता है इसलिए सावधानी रखें। इसे रात भर गला रहने दें। सुबह जल्दी उठकर छत को अच्छे से साफ करें और चूने के घोल को छत पर डालकर झाड़ू से फैलाते जाएं। आप चाहें तो इस घोल में आधा किलो फेविकोल भी मिला सकते हैं। फेविकोल को अच्छे से घोलें और हर बार घोल को हिलाते हुए मग में लें। छत जितनी साफ होगी चूना जितना सफेदी लिये रहेगा छत उतनी ही ठंडी रहेगी। चूने की सफेदी छत पर पड़ने वाली सूर्य किरणों को परावर्तित कर देती हैं और छत ठंडी रहती है। आजमाया हुआ तरीका है पिछले बीस साल से कर रही हूँ Writer: Kavita Sharma
