Random
What bores you?
Do not get bored with myself. It is not necessary to do something all the time. The notion that one gets bored stems from the attestation span deficit. As long as we enjoy what we are doing, will never get bored.
I do get bored, when people keep repeating the same topic, especially weather and food
Who are your favorite people to be around?
“Like time people come and go what lasts are the Memories. “
For me , apart from MYSELF, I have a very short list of people who are on my favorite list. I can spend hours in their company talking about random to the most philosophical thoughts.
Deep connections beyond expectations is what it takes to have a beautiful relationship. Favoritism may be situational depending on your needs, but lasting relationships are independent of need, time or distance.
“Just their thought
Brings smile
On my rainy day
A song triggers the trail
Refreshing the time spent
In that moment
I feel them beside me
Those are the favorites
Who laughed & cried w.ith me”

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
I am not a shoe enthusiast, but over the years had few which I bought because it looked good when I tried on, but later didn’t wear much because they were either too tight or loose.
Today’s prompt brought back those moments of excitement for me. Still this habit of buying shoes which may not be comfortable, continues. I bought 3 recently😃, and wear only 1 of them .
My excitement is because I have shoe size 35, and do not get much variety.
But I definitely love my Nike
which takes me to my evening walks daily
Write about your approach to budgeting.
I love budgeting. Budgeting is a way to have a peace of mind. It is not necessary to stick to it in a literal sense, but helps not to go overboard. It brings discipline and order in one’s life.
I have a very simple outlook on money and related materialistic life. From your income Spend 50%, save 25% and keep 25% to help others.
Financial budgeting is easy stuff
But budgeting your time and energy does take lot of practice. Still i try to set limit on the activities like gossip😃, social media, watching TV. There is no limits to walking, writing or interactions with very limited relationships which are very precious to me.

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
Not as far as I remember. But one epidide comes to my mind. In Jammu, my hometown, few days before Holi festival ( it is festival of color usually celebrated in the month of March), we used to fill balloons with water. And through at the passerbys from our home rooftop. If it would hit , was a great sense of satisfaction. There is no Law as such, but sometimes people used to come and complain to the parents.
Though nobody’s was ever hurt, but I think it was not right . For it was playful and enjoyment, but getting g wet on the road is not a comfortable situation.
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
“Celebration of a Fearless Journey”
I may prefer to write an autobiography. Nobody knows me better then me😃
Not everone is a writer, but in my opinion everyone should have a biography written in their life time, so that the future generations know you as an individual. We has humans are extraordinary beings, each one of us has some stories and experiences to share.
Last year I published a book on my mother’s life. It is a tribute and a recognition of her strong and powerful personality.
Tittle : “As I See her”
Author : Namrata D Prabhakar
It is available accross all International Amazon platforms
In India it is on NOTIONPRESS.
My sincere thanks to Janet for buying the book and supporting my efforts. She is an Artist whom I follow regularly .

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?
Laws should be updated time-to-time to keep up with the current situations. More important is time bound justice to the victims or aggrieved party. Every Law should have a time limit for conclusion. Justice system is so slow in most of the countries and it hardly serve its purpose. Especially in case of abuse, rape or other heinous crimes.
Write about your dream home.
Never thought daily prompts would be so much fun and an opportunity to think about things which othetwise we may not.
One of uncle used to say “owing a house and having a happy home are two different things”
It is so true, it is not necessary to have your own house to make it a dream home. Home is because of the people living there. My dream home is where everyone lives in harmony, despite having difference of opionion. Love, respect and tolerance , filled with laughter of my loved ones.
I am living in my dream home.
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
My love for walking has not diminished a bit since my childhood. As I was growing up used to love walking in solitary roads on the mountain in Shimla or on the bank of Tawi River in Jammu .
When my brother shifted to Manali – surrounded by snow- clad peaks and forest with pine trees all around, it was amazing. Walking in the crisp pure air has been a bliss. Sitting and gazing at the star in the night seems ike i am one of them.
I am fortunate to be living near the sea since I moved to UAE. Long walks on the beach , listening to the waves, obsetving the changing colors of the waters would never tire me.
When one keep the excitement going, hobbies become way of life.
I am blessed to be connected with nature always. It has contributed to my creativity and stability. ⭐🙏🏻⭐
What’s your favorite candy?
Thinking of candy took me back to my childhood. Those days there were not many options. Still remember orange candies in the shape of orange segments, and morten toffees. I think it was for 5 or 10 paisas or so. Also the poppins, which are still available.
Now the variety is unlimited, but my favorite are still those, would buy in loads if I can get them
