Managing stress

In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress has become an ever-present challenge. From the pressures of work and finances to the overwhelming state of the world, the factors contributing to our stress seem to multiply daily. However, over the years, I have developed a few simple techniques that have helped me maintain better control over stress. The first step is to step away from the task or situation causing the stress. If it is a work assignment, for instance, take a short break. Move away from your desk, take a walk, and deliberately avoid thinking about the issue at hand. I have found this to be incredibly helpful, especially for software developers like myself who can get stuck in an endless debugging loop.

Frequently used words

There are a couple of frequently used words, most of them four-letter words that people use a lot.

For example, when you accidentally stub your toe, nothing expresses your feelings at that moment, than one of these four-letter words. That being the case, there are some rules to their usage. Be careful using them around children or pet parrots. The kids will sponge up such words and can use it later in front of others 😀

If I were to open a shop …

I do not think I would ever open a shop, but If I were to open a shop, it would be a book store or something related to reading and acquiring knowledge. The art of reading books: I mean the printed variety, is lost to the present generation. Maybe it is a sign of the times. Soon we may not have any printed books, and it may all be digitally stored, which is great as it is environment-friendly. Irrespective of the medium. The shop I open would be a place for folks of all ages. A place where people can read books or listen to audiobooks while having a cup of hot tea. A place where they can discuss anything but politics. I’m still working on how much I should charge my patrons.
