What makes Wheel of Fortune interesting

If you are like me, you are interested in learning about new skills when you see others performing their best. I have always been thinking about preparing myself for the Wheel of Fortune show.

I try to learn from those failures and prepare myself for the best.

It drives you to learn new things

Whenever I watch this show, I learn something new. It makes me wonder about the sheer amount of knowledge there is in the world. If I could access even 1% of this knowledge, it would make me a thousand times better than what I am today. I am learning new things every day and this show is like a reminder for me to keep going.

It makes you a happy person

Seeing others win is really stimulating for me. I love to see the expressions of the contestants and I can feel the happiness within. This may sound weird but I feel like a winner when I see the contestants winning. I become really really happy when I watch the show. It is truly the best show ever in the US.

The hosts of the show are humorous. You will never get bored watching this show. This is one of the most interesting shows ever and I can tell you that you are going to love it if you haven’t watched any of the episodes so far.

But, I believe these are enough to convince you to go and watch this show. Hope you found this post useful. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below this article. …

Comic Books Storage Resurrects!

During the pandemic, the whole world was confined to the boundaries of their own house..which quite frankly was not something people were really fond of..I mean living under the same roof, with the same people(even if it’s your family) is not that easy because you do not get to live the actual lifestyle you thrive for. 

I guess anyone and everyone would be able to resonate with my feelings of helplessness, low productivity, idleness yet a lot of things to do and a lot of chores to complete..the feeling of being trapped was something which couldn’t be shaken away..at least by the people I knew..so right in the middle of the pandemic I went ahead and analysed what people actually do to feel a little more engaged and productive as compared to the empty, non- productive days.
Even I chose to re kindle my hobbies which I left a very long time back..due to my hectic, busy schedule- I just realized that in the run for making my life a success, I forgot what I actually enjoyed and never made time for myself
  • Yoga– During the pandemic, I have seen several people moving on to yoga as a way to relax themselves and well, a way to lose weight and remain healthy..many people I know started attending classes online(due to obvious reasons,)..yoga has brought about a drastic change in how people perceive their bodies(in a positive way, of course)..I joined yoga too and since then, there’s no turning back.
  • Painting/ Drawing/Coloring– There are many people who are really proficient at the art of creating marvelous paintings..but due to the pressure of studies or work, they had to leave their hobby..so pandemic gave them the time to pursue their hobby with full force and thus, such people could re visit their talented side which was a miss since a long period. It is also said that coloring, painting is a therapeutic technique to soothe the nerves.
  • Comic books collection– Due to the hectic schedules people follow, reading as a habit was eloping by the day..but the pandemic enabled this habit to resurface and how! I have personally witnessed so many friends and family creating a marvelous collection of comics and well, using creative and best comic book box.. in such a creative and aesthetic way.
  • Cycling– In the beginning of quarantine, people did nothing but sit and binge eat on foods they like..which made them gain weight, gain mass and a whole lot of feelings of being lethargic followed(personal experience to be honest)..so to loose that chubbiness and to keep their bodies active and working, many people adopted the habit of cycling. The spike in bicycle sales in 2020 will surely give you an idea about the popularity of the habit..in fact, cycling became a social media activity(people post about their achievements and number of kilometres daily)
  • Cooking/ Baking– This hobby was such a rage in the beginning due to the shutdown of all the restaurants and hotels..people made the effort and stepped in the kitchen to make their favorite cuisines..where some experiments were successful and some went down the drain(quite literally)
  • Cleaning– Even the person least concerned about sanitization and hygiene had to step up and maintain cleanliness for themselves as well as their homes. just because Corona cannot survive in clean spaces.

Thighs To Know About Taurus

Loyal Companions

Bulls won’t suddenly drop you for the sake of a minor disagreement or a dumb confusion. A Taurus takes pride in himself for hanging around in difficult moments, by being there for his mates, no matter how and when. A Taurus creates a few of the closest buddies you’ll ever have and they’re going to be listening to your complaints, give people a shoulder to weep, and make sure they feel loved and cared about. You’re never going to have to worry about where you’re standing with the Taurus since they’re not leaving your hand. 

They Are Protective For Their Buddies

A Bull is going to make you feel protected at all moments. He or she usually has a defensive nature and needs to keep all of his or her relatives and friends out of extreme danger. Taurus can never leave you feeling insecure or uncomfortable, as their calm, caring disposition leads them to look out for those who are precious to them. They are courageous, powerful people, but they can carry the responsibilities with you and ensure that you feel safe and protected.

They Accept You The Way You Are In Real

Taurus is not going to want you to adjust, so they will love and cherish you from the beginning. They welcome individuals with all their true essence, with all their faults and admirable characteristics. As a representation of the Earth, Taurus has a tendency to be balanced and steady, and therefore can quickly relate and appreciate a number of individuals. Taurus may have their own secret problems for themselves, although as far as most individuals go, they’re not going to change anybody else. They build relationships very easily, considering their somewhat relaxed nature, and people enjoy the feeling of peace and comfort that they possess.

They Can Be Stubborn Sometimes

Taurus has several promising attributes, but the drawback is that they’re being extremely stubborn and reluctant to back down on certain beliefs. They have their very own view on things, and your viewpoint is difficult to reverse their minds. They love doing that style, and it’s hard for any of these people to adjust. They don’t even like quirkiness, and they like seeing stuff arranged in advance. Be careful with the Taurus in your world, since they take time to become used to different environments and can feel lost in certain situations. However, it may take a bit of time for them to establish new patterns of thought and watch things in a different way…

Long-distance relationships are considered to be less stable and less lasting but in my case, these things never made an impact while I was dating my European girlfriend. My name is Stuart Riddle and I am from California. I started dating my girlfriend, Jane Williams in the year 2016 and we both are going to marry each other in the next year. I scrolled through many European dating sites and finally, I found her after some days of constant scrolling. We had an immediate connection with each other after some days of communication.

People say that living long-distance creates trouble and you both cannot stick together with each other. There are certainly some challenges for both of you but you can overcome those challenges and stick together for a lifetime. Let me tell you about how we survived all the challenges and what were the main concerns for us while we started dating each other.

people-2576947_640

Some Unique Challenges

While any serious connection has problems, research suggests that long-distance connections have a range of possible difficulties that seem to be peculiar to the physical locations among members.

  • Experience the fiscal pressure of transportation 
  • To have more intense feelings attached to the connection 
  • Preserving strong hopes of face-to-face encounters notwithstanding how irregular and small these are 
  • Negotiation of parameters among close friends as well as a distant companion 
  • Having an inaccurate impression of the connection.

The cost burden is a common variable that any individual in a long-distance relationship has encountered. Whether it was the rising petrol prices of traveling thousands of kilometers, or even the numerous cost investment of daily air transportation, individuals ought to manage travel expenses just like other expenses like mortgages, nutrition, and clothes. 

Border agreement is a slightly more complicated aspect to handle. Persons in long-distance relationships will grow envious against close friends of their companion, frequently arguing that they share “quite enough hours” with friends. 

There is indeed a possibility that your partner may establish an emotional bond or form a relationship with someone else because you’re abroad. Building stronger limits, staying truthful and realizing that individuals require face-to-face unique interactions can take a very long time to neutralize these possible issues.

Overcoming Challenges

After such obstacles, it feels quite difficult to be successful in long-distance relationships, however, that doesn’t imply they won’t be successful. 

Communicating

In case of interaction, video calling or phone calls are easier than emails or texting. Fortunately, face-to-face communication became significantly essential and created a massive impact among couples in long-distance relationships. In plenty of other cases, long-range partnerships performed in a certain style as local connections, as long as the two parties meet face to face at least a few times in a year. If you both seek to retain a good close relationship, focus on saving expenses on flights and agree to meet periodically.

Be Honest And Give Each Other More Time

Being honest with your partner and giving them more time will help you in retaining your relationship for a long time. Tell them about how your day was, tell them about your friends to make them feel that they are important and they can trust you for your honesty. When you are free try to spend more time calling them or texting them instead of going out with your friends all the time. You need to accept that living far away has many complications and you should make them feel wanted every time and give them the importance that they deserve.…

Omaze Got Me a Car!

We all have such relatives in our family that we absolutely hate right? Those nosy kind of relatives whose business is to spoil our business, the one who is good for nothing but overstays their welcome, aren’t they the most irritating human beings on the planet? Well, Corona Virus is the exact same guest that we absolutely despise. This pandemic has turned our lives upside down and unfortunately we can do nothing about it, we can just sigh disdainfully  and carry on with our lives with a mask on our faces and sanitizers in our hands.

The pandemic has absolutely changed the scenario of our economy, the buying power of people have absolutely diminished because there are many people who have lost their jobs and many whose business is on an all time low. The places that I loved visiting and absolutely adored the food of have been shut down because the pandemic hit hard. I have literally seen people of good wealth, having a flourishing business worrying about their food supplies during 2020 because they exhausted all their money and savings. It is safe to say that recovering from the blow on our economy would be the hardest as already our country is a developing one. By reading the statistics, I learnt that more than four crore people have lost their jobs in this year, which obviously has increased the situation of unemployment and hence, their buying power has been challenged.

Before the pandemic my family and I were planning to buy a car for us in March 2020, unaware about the pandemic, we were about to give the booking amount, but somehow, it got delayed, but eventually the lockdown came into the picture and we cancelled our plan of buying a new car, instead, we thought of investing some of the money we had in helping the people who were in dire need of funds. We decided to donate in kind as well as cash. My parents contacted the nearby old age home and asked what they needed, so we donated them masks, sanitizers, medicines, clothes and a lot of liquid soap. We also made big packets of food and donated them to the poor living on the streets, who ever we saw in the way. I also searched on the internet if any organisation requires any kind of fund, I found UNICEF and donated some amount to it and in the process, I came across Omaze, which I found very interesting. Although I had a hunch about it’s process, I still decided to research, I got to know that it is a fund-raising organisation that works uniquely, it offers a golden opportunity to the people who decide to be a part of this organisation.The money donated for different causes goes to Charities Aid Foundation America. The donors get many great experiences like winning a car, meeting a celebrity, a tour, dinner date, movie tickets, etc. So, I donated some money and waited and to my surprise, I won a car! I was absolutely ecstatic, I just couldn’t believe when I was told, but when the car was parked in front of my house, I felt overwhelmed with joy! It had to be the best day of my life! The organisation called me and congratulated me for being one of the omaze car winners and I couldn’t thank enough! I was further told that the money I invested has been donated, it was a cherry on the top of my wonderful cake!

This year might be the worst for some but it has surely brought be joy, happiness and a shiny new car!
