Letters to my Future Self

A few weeks ago, while searching for my scrapbook, I found a letter. It was not from a friend or from a mentor or any close one, but it was from myself. I had written this letter when I was in 5th grade. I am talking about approximately 10 years back. In that letter I found my goals, my ambitions, and my tiny victory and questions like, Did you open an art club, or did you start writing stories? Did you open a dance academy? Did you start writing a blog?.

That moment reminded me why I write those letters to myself. These letters were not like journal writing, but it was something that I wanted to build for myself. These letters also suggested the version that might be lost in today's era, or they also suggested how the world has taken a fast move where we have left writing to yourself for your peace and your satisfaction. The new version of a human has taken place in a raw, dishonest, and hopeful life, which also lost its beauty, glow, bloom, etc.

I remember being a kid when we started using B612 or Picture Perfect for filtered photos with catchy and cool captions for your Facebook profile. I think this is the only technology and platform that we have not switched yet. We still take filtered photos and type captions that are cool and trendy in an unfiltered way. How often do we sit and say, Hi, dear future? I know there are many ups and downs in your life, but I am proud that you keep moving on and smile every day.

In today's pressure-packed life, we have seen people meeting deadlines in reality with social media persistence and stairs built of anxiety. But there are many negative versions of a human life that could be related to job placements. For those who are facing rejection or success, we should not forget to remind them that it's okay to not have it all figured out at one go. A new version of the college graduate who did write a letter to herself before graduating and Reddit after her successful career and marriage, and she thought about how far she had come from being that scared, confused, and silent girl from school. And a very recent example of Covid-19 is where people, not all but some, did write letters to their loved ones whom they cannot meet in the hospital or the ones they have lost. It was okay to write letters about their fear and family bonding and desire to hug them and claim that sometimes it's okay to not be okay.

Writing these letters to yourself is not only about getting the answer; it's for seeing your growth and searching for your strengths and weaknesses you have gained in these running years. This will give you a realization of how silly, soft, stubborn, emotional, and careful you used to be and how much distance you have covered. Writing for your future self is more a kind of reflection of change. It's nature itself where you believe you meet and work more to achieve the heights you want with kindness. So always write a letter to yourself reminding you of your dreams, doubts, and joys. When you open these letters after years, you will be able to feel proud of yourself, and you can even be an example for a society of how to be a happy person or a sad but strong and independent person in your life.

Writing to yourself is an act of self-trust; you believe there is a version of you strong and independent enough to read it.

Doctor Resigns on First Day Over Unethical Hospital Practices

Dr. Prabhleen Kaur, a young internal medicine specialist from Chandigarh, made headlines after resigning from a reputed hospital on her very first day. In a video shared on Instagram, she revealed that the hospital’s owner, a senior gynecologist, instructed staff to admit nearly every patient, regardless of whether hospitalization was necessary. She alleged that the hospital only wanted a physician “in name,” while the owner personally managed cases, deciding that all admitted patients should be kept in the ICU for as long as possible. Dr. Kaur explained that although the hospital offered attractive pay, she was disturbed by these instructions and refused to be part of what she described as unethical practices. “It would have been my name, but their wrongdoing,” she said, adding that she could not allow herself to be used as a front. Her video, captioned with a warning about karma, has garnered over 96,000 views and earned widespread praise from netizens for her principled s...

Try these solutions if you can't remember your phone's password

It frequently occurs that we switch out the long-used smartphone password for a different one. However, we are unable to recall the new password and continue to enter the old, allegedly incorrect one. In any case, this becomes a major problem, and individuals seek to have their passwords cracked at a store or phone store. Also, the store owners demand payment for cracking the password. On one hand, you may simply change the password while at home if you'd like. What should we do about this? Use " Forgot Password " First, try entering the incorrect password or pattern five or six times if your phone is running Android 4.4 or lower. The choices of Forgot Pattern or Password will then show up on the screen. Enter your Google Account details now, then change the password. Use this approach if it's connected to a Google account.

WhatsApp 's is new feature "Guest Chats."

According to reports, WhatsApp is creating a new feature called Guest Chats that would let users chat individuals without a WhatsApp account. According to reports, the feature allows direct browser contact with non-WhatsApp users by means of a secure chat link. Users can invite non-WhatsApp contacts to secure discussions using the "Guest Chats" function. Using the "Invite a Friend" feature, a WhatsApp user can create a link and distribute it by email, SMS, or other channels. The recipient has two options: download WhatsApp or use a browser to continue as a guest. Visitors must accept WhatsApp's Terms of Service and provide a name, either real or a false name. The inviter's phone number is visible to guests, but conversations are encrypted from beginning to end. The lack of guest verification of identity, however, presents a risk in the event that the connection is viewed by unauthorized individuals. "Guest" is clearly shown during chats to show...

No More Cash at Toll Booths Starting April 10

Following a government announcement requiring a totally digital tolling system, cash payments at toll booths on India's national highways would no longer be accepted as of April 10. In an effort to lessen traffic, increase transparency, and improve commuter convenience at more than 1,150 fee plazas across the country, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) revealed that all transactions will now be completed through FASTag and UPI. It is anticipated that the change will improve operating efficiency, reduce delays, and optimize traffic flow. Toll rates have been updated in tandem with this change. Expressway fees in Uttar Pradesh would increase by 1.5% to 3.5%, while passenger car owners on national highways may experience an increase of up to 10%. For example, the toll for cars on the Lucknow–Agra Expressway has increased to ₹675, while the toll for two-wheelers is now ₹335.
