Smartphone or Book for Leisure? - Daily Life Happiness

It is 6.30 pm of Mid June. The weather is really hot and humid feels more discomfort. I returned home from my office completing eight hours hectic desk job in busy branch of a commercial bank.

After taking shower generally I like to browse television set for todays UpToDate news. Then I open any page of a book and start reading with a cup of tea or evening snack. But one or more day I take my smartphone scrolling social media platform like facebook, x-handle, Instagram bla bla bla. After 60 to 90 minutes I surprisingly found that I am scrolling just with an absent mind. Basically I am not involved what is shown in front my eyes. But still I am scrolling. Totally an unproductive job, pushing the photos, videos, and writings upward with my thumb finger.

But other those days I open a book to read, I found some different internal conditions in my body and mind. At the time of reading an image is created in my mind based on the lines and words I read. My brain becomes enable to formulate various views and ideas on different perspective. Whereas spending time with my smartphone has no such effect on my brain.

At the reading of a travel book or a novel I can make a picturesque scenery of the described place or people's conversation by its lines and words, which is more colorful and more vivid than the videos shown in small smartphone display or big television screen. This imagination ability enhance the brain power- memory and strengthen the connection between the neurons of my brain.

Here I found some extraordinary benefits of reading. Such as

-it develops my vocabulary,

-enhance my ability to focus in any matter

-various types of books give me new ideas and problem solving skill

-reading stimulates my creativity and creative thinking

-a great source of relaxation after tough whole day job

-it makes me more interesting to others for my various ideas and thought

-overall reading habit enhance my knowledge, communication skill and social empathy.

So, stop scrolling your smartphone from miles to miles. Take a book and begin to read.

Enter into a wonderful world of knowledge, beauty and love.

Be Happy. Stay Happy.

Happy Reading.

Thanks for reading. Give a clap for me.

The Architect of Nature - Tales of Baya Weaver Bird

That was mid noon of a hot humid day of last June. The scorching sunlight was burning the meadows and crop fields. The farmers with sweating body were taking rest under the Big Banyan tree at roadside. I was driving my bike on the bank of a water canal but that was completely dry. Suddenly sweet sound of bird chirping come to my ear. Numerous baya weaver birds are chirping and flying from one tree to another tree and nearby grassland. 

Baya weaver generally makes nest high palm tree. They use palm leaves or grass to weave their home. Palm leaves and grass leaves are torn by their beak then weave them very brilliant way. All the weaving done with their beak. 

At first the male bird start to build a nest. By the process he complete about sixty to seventy percent of making. Then he pause his work and try to attract the female entity. He starts to singing in melodious voice to allure female one. 

The female bird comes his home and observe the nest very carefully and keenly. If the nest is up-to the mark or passed with her examination then she agreed to make pair. If not, she flies away. So it is clear that, expertise at home building is the prime quality to form family, ultimately for future generation. 

After making pair they both finish the rest of home building works. Sometimes they decorate their nest with dead fire fly which illuminate light inside their nest at night. 

Love Birds. 

Love Nature.

   

How My Photography Keeps me Healthy and Happy

I started my wildlife photography journey since January 2020. At first with beginner's photography gear like a Canon 600d with 70-300mm telephoto lens to capture the beauty of birds only. Birds with colorful feather, their flying style and their feeding habits attract me so much. I was very fond of freeze the moments of bird's fabulous activities.   

To capture the birds photos I have to walk on my foot quite a long distance even run behind the bird. Basically I am a 9-5 desk job holder in banking industry. This walking opportunity at weekends keeps my body more fit. This maneuver with birds helps me to be exposed under the Sun. My skin become Sun-tanned. We all know that sunlight helps to produce Vitamin-D inside our body. Astonishingly I found that, my colleagues are more vulnerable to seasonal flues and the catch cold frequently. But my body developed resistance against those.    

Four Happy Hormones ie. Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphin are directly associated with my photography. After a successful bird walk I feel accomplishment of a nice work that is rewarding to me. This reward feeling increase the secretion of Dopamine Hormone.

The Serotonin the mood stabilizer chemical releases with sun expose, running and being in nature. All these activities done with my wildlife photography. The painkiller hormone Endorphin also releases with exercise or physical activity. Thus my photography helps me to live a healthy and happy life.

Happy Clicking.

Stay Healthy.                                               

Be Happy.
