Adopt the concept of "Chardhi Kala". The art of living in high spirits and Eternal Optimism is the slogan given to us by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru which means : Keep your spirits high, no matter what the situation. Have faith, keep doing good and stay positive. Do your best, then leave the rest to God".
This concept is commonly translated as "high morale", but it is much more than that. According to the Encyclopaedia of Sikhism, "It stands for a perennially blossoming, unwilling spirit, a perpetual state of certitude resting on unwavering belief in Divine justice".
Chardhi Kala is a mental state that keeps us strong during the most difficult moments in life - even when we face a life and death situation. It is a spirit of defiance of all hardships. Every repetition of this slogan reminds us that Sikhs are tenacious men and women who do not lose faith.
This positive thinking brings a calm, peaceful and positive mind that doesn't get bothered with obstacles of life. May you always be in Chardhi Kala and stay blessed forever!

Got up by a quarter to 6, opened up the house and was ready by a quarter to 7. Sanil and I kicked off for the Kollam Railway Station to pick up Mithun and Ammu coming by the Mysore-Kochuveli Express, which arrived half an hour earlier than its ETA!
Meanwhile, the electrician Murali had come by and connected up the new ceiling fan and changed a faulty tap.
Went across to Pidavoor to spend time with Rema, Padmakumar and Achu. Interacted with Padmakumar's folks. Returned after sunset to a massive power interruption! Power was restored by a quarter to 10.
