Earl Grey Tea and Its Benefits

Tea time is a chance to slow down,
pull back and appreciate our surroundings.
– Letitia Baldrige

Since first appearing in the 18th century, Earl Grey tea (also known as Bergamot tea) became extremely popular, mainly because of its amazing health benefits. 

It is a blend of black tea and bergamot orange extracts which makes it so unique. It is said that the tea was named after the British prime minister Charles grey. Though the origin of the tea has many stories to it, the most common story is that it was specifically blended for him. 

Over time, the popularity of this particular blend soared as it was consumed within royal families and elite groups. The citrus flavor extracted from bergamot gives the tea a refreshing flavor, which can be consumed any time of day.

“Feminism”- Why do people cringe upon mentioning this word?

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.
Both men and women should feel free to be strong.
– Emma Watson

We are living in a 21st-century era. Things are changing at a rapid pace. The “Feminism” act started in of 18th century though the term was different for it. Yet after this many years, the majority of people don’t understand what feminism is all about.

The actual definition of Feminism is to fight for individual rights, regardless of their gender. The term stands for equality of any gender and to stop sexism. In our society, we have some pre-defined set of limitations for a specific gender. Like women are not strong physically and men don’t cry. It has been proven multiple times that there is no limitation for us and we can achieve anything in life. Then why still there are so many people who are supporting this kind of stereotype mentality.

Feminism is not a scale to measure which gender is suffering more and which gender is living off better. Many have a misconception that feminism is all about hating the male gender and making their life intolerable as many smart people think so. Well if you are also one of them then I am sorry but you have the wrong information. Because feminism supports male gender and fights for their equality as well. 

Men don’t have to take full responsibility for their families. They shouldn’t be pressurized to take the lead when it comes to the financial aspect of life or protecting their family. Men and women both are equally responsible for each and every aspect of life. Men are also pressurized to choose some particular kind of career. And feminism act was started to make sure all the genders are treated in the right manner. But since we have many people who support a mindset saying that each gender has a different set of roles in our life. Because of this, an opposition side for this activity started. People are still fighting over this without even understanding it, thus the word “Feminism” became a topic of controversy.

It is true that this act initially started to uplift women in society and give them a chance to make a life of their own. And that was because women have suffered a lot due to the misogyny mindset in our society. People have portrayed women a burden or treated them as an object. Slowly people are changing and the new generation is bringing a lot of positive change to our world, but changes always come with a sacrifice or price to pay. And this becomes a reason for rebel and creates two sides, one which is ready for the pain and the other which is ready to inflict it. Which side usually you are on?

One should take full responsibility for their own life irrespective of which gender group they belong to. You also need to understand that you don’t have any right to impose or restrict someone else’s life in any way. There are many places where even today women are confined within a domestic domain and are not given the freedom to do anything as per their wish. Some kids are not getting a proper education. To put a full stop to this kind of lifestyle, feminism was brought into the picture.

Since there is so much negativity around the word itself, people who even believe in equality also often say that “I am not a feminist.”

Do you also believe in the theory that we should live freely and let others live the same way? That everyone should have equal rights and equal opportunities in life. That there is no limitation for any gender, then be a fair supporter and raise your voice for Feminism. Once you voice your opinion, you might face a lot of disagreement today, but it might bring some change tomorrow in our society.

Feminism is equality, politically, culturally, socially, economically. That’s it, that simple.
-Emma Watson

A tale of everlasting

Photo by Igor Haritanovich on Pexels.com
Even wind is on your side
pushing me towards you
with all the forces killing
the chance of feeling your
crisp on my flame.

It scares me to touch you,
as you will melt away.

But I am hoping you will fall on me,
at least you will soothe my ashes.

I am wrong for you in all the levels
of life and you are deadly for me
with each flake you make.

How can fire and ice ever
exist side by side?

Yet together we create a picturesque
sight.

Book Review: The parable of the pipeline by Burke Hedges

Opportunities, unlike jobs.
Usually don’t advertise themselves in newspaper.
– Burke Hedges

Being financially free is something everybody dreams of right? But we all go the traditional way to achieve it, which is to do 9-5 jobs. But later end up realizing that a 9-5 job gives us scope to survive and save but never makes us financially free. This book helps you understand that even by doing your daily job, how one can become financially free.

This book puts the spotlight on the real facts of life. Showcasing that the money being earned in any of the job professions is based on the number of hours that you have spent. This means if efforts are not being given on a particular day, then you don’t get paid. And the money we earn is going to be over one day unless we make our money work for us and make more money out of it.
So in short, working a 9-5 job and making money, doesn’t matter how big your paycheck is, it is not going to help you to survive for long. This book helps you understand, how to manage your money and how you can invest it along with your time to become financially free.

To make a sustainable living it is important to make a source of income that can give you profits even when you are not working for it. Now, this can be done in two ways.
The first is to invest your money and let the money work for you and give you more money. This plan takes time and this is for securing your life after retirement.
The second is to invest your time and build a plan which takes a lot of effort from you in the beginning. You will need to sacrifice all your luxury of spending leisure time for the fun to working on building a plan which can eventually in a couple of years give you profit for sustaining without even doing anything.

Our daily 9-5 jobs can make our present good and luxurious but a pipeline building plan will secure your present and future.
But coming from a different perspective, both methods are important and both can be implemented simultaneously. It is important to follow the first method which is slow and takes a very long time but at the same time, you can start working on a side plan which will make your next few years exhausting but after that, life will be stress-free. Keep your eyes on the prize and work extra hours on building your own business. It is going to take all your efforts in the initial stage of building your business but it is going to give you all the leisure time you need in the coming future.
