Challenges in life can easily stir up mixed emotions that we label them as positive and negative feelings. Anger is one of those powerful “negative” feelings that we experience more often than not and are mostly advised to suppress. Right?But is it possible to use it constructively?
Listen to people talk about it. Traditional dishes from our countries tie us to warm feelings and good memories. We all have been there when the pressure is on and then we reach for some comfort food. But how one dish is perceived in one culture is totally different from another, and it’s even different from person to person. What is the most delicious food you’ve ever tried and where did it come from?

Shopping happens to be most of our weakness. While some find it a relieving session, others think it is a necessity for them. Nowadays, the convenience and ease of online shopping have obviously affected our shopping habits and spending patterns. The question is, to what extent we can keep on investing in things that we probably don’t need.
The most common relationship complaint is ‘nagging”! Parent and child, boss and employee, wife and husband… we all have this dumb belief that if what we're doing isn't working, the solution is to do more of it! The nagging pattern. This cycle repeats itself, with each person repeatedly reacting to the other's behavior in the same way. Is there a way to stop it and do something different?
People are usually more rude and forthright online. What can be done to teach people to consider the consequences of their aggressive actions online? Listen to people talk about it.
Parenting style and the way we have been brought up can impact everything, from how we feel about ourselves to what we choose to eat. Some parents believe that it is impossible to discipline a child without punishment, and to change the child’s behavior, punishment is inevitable. What do you think?
"every tool can be a weapon if you hold it right" and music is not an exception. Listen to people talk about it
How do you spot the fake news on social media?
This conversation was a blast! Listen to people talk about lie-telling. We’ve all done it! Either for our personal gain, or to make others happy! Kim Serota, a marketing professor at Oakland University, suggests that “Prolific liars are highly motivated to lie, if for no other reason than because they believe lying enables them to succeed in achieving a particular goal. They understand what they’re doing; they do it willfully and purposefully as a means to an end.” What do you think? Do we usually lie mindfully?
