Hi!

I need to make a 1 night halt at Kolkatta and am looking for some clean and safe dormitories near Howrah railway station.

I would appreciate any specific guidance. ( names/numbers etc)

Thank you!

Hello All! Good morning

I need some guidance about dormitories for gents near Howrah Railway station.

I need to halt for a night before proceeding on my onward journey towards Guwahati.

There is a Railway retiring room in the station. How good is that ? Thank you!

Hi!

u/Spiceshunter liked my ideas a lot, and felt that i should put up a post on this. Thank you buddy.

As my name suggests, I am pretty much a 'gypsy'. I travel as a backpacker quite a lot. And here a few things I do to ensure that I can enjoy sprouts every day, regardless of where i am

I shall be glad if my suggestions come in handy.

a) I purchase Red Lentils, Horse Gram, and Moong by the kg, but get them packed in packets of 200 grams each. This a 1 day meal for me, once sprouted.

Red Lentils double in weight after being soaked for 8 hours, and Triple in weight after another 12-16 hours once sprouted. This is what makes them a very convenient diet to carry and produce even as one travels.

b) I carry the following utensils, 1) 1 litre Plastic Container with a lid, for Soaking, 2) 1 Steel vessel for sprouting/eating, 3) 1 large sized cotton cloth, very thin, for sprouting the red lentils. 4) 2 Spoons, 5) Spices powders in a small plastic container

c) At any given point of time, I have Red Lentils being soaked, Being sprouted, being boiled for consumption. This cycle continues.

d) On the day that I have to travel, I already have got 1 kg ready sprouts, which I carry separately for consumption during my journey. This continues for 1-2 days.

e) When I reach my destination, I fill drinking water in the plastic container, and put 200 gms of Red Lentils for Soaking. By morning, I strain out the water and put them in a cloth for sprouting.

f) next day I repeat the process. If I get a cooking facility, I boil the sprouts, else I eat them raw with spices and salt.

This cycle continues.

I feel so comfortable. I am not dependent on road side eateries, or expensive airport / railway station/ bus station restaurants. I carry my own kitchen. And it weighs not more than 2-3 kgs at any given time.

My best wishes to you all :)) I appreciate your effort to remain healthy and safe.

My mother is 85. Thankfully healthy. And also receptive, intelligent and pleasant. But also stubborn, opinionated and persistent.

In my effort to heal my generational traumas and mother wounds, I have been having long talks with her, to make her realize the positive and negative impacts of her parenting style.

It has been like water slowly slowly breaking a rock!

Thankfully, she has been to understand this, without feeling offended, or insulted. I had to make use of several psychology tools and concepts, to polite explain to her with examples.

It has helped me to get my own closures. It has helped her to get her own closures.

I lead a very simple life.

I can wear the same type of clothes, eat the same type of food, live the same kind of routine.

I have no insecurity or anxiety or jealousy when I see others living a much more lavish life.

I feel blessed in this simplicity.

The last 45 days have been phenomenal. Jumped from 222,222 to 333,333. Target is to touch 500,000 1st September. If everything goes well.

After that, most other achievements which remain would either be day-streaks, sub-moderators, or posts influencer based.

Should reach 60 Achievements by the end of this year.

58: 500,000 by 1st september

59: 365 before 1st september

60: 400 by first week of october

61: 500 by end of the year.

Am curious to see how this pans out.

Thank you everyone for your kind support. Reddit has been a life changing experience for me. I feel grateful to everyone out here.

Hi everyone!

I need to share an observation, and understand your perspectives also.

Hi everyone!

For me it is blissful to spend the entire day appreciating every post on Reddit!

Unknowingly I am contributing to the planet

I feel happy as well!

I love to thank wonderful photos of mother nature!

Of wonderful positive thoughts! Of stories of braveries!

It makes my day worthwhile!

The entire previous week, combined with the weekend was filled with wonderful interactions with several people.

I felt enriched, and also so much more sorted about many unconnected thoughts which had been suspended in my head.

I feel so much more better than better.

I feel that my onward decisions about the remaining months of the year, would be so much more progressive and positive.

My best wishes to everyone out here. Stay safe. Stay cool. Stay happy. Stay grateful

This sub has such phenomenal photos of nature.

That means that everyone out here is a nature lover.

In that case, why is it that a majority of the photos have no appreciating comments ?

I think when we appreciate others, they also feel good, and feel motivated to post more photos, and they also post appreciation towards others.

Thanks! Congrats to the Moderators, and all the members for such great collections

Feeling extremely grateful that I am getting immense clarity about how to prepare for my spiritual journey.

Letting go at the emotional, physical and material level.

Expressing gratitude towards everyone and everything.

Realizing the futility of so many irrelevant goals!

Thank you

Thank you everyone for your appreciation for my earlier post.

Here are some suggestions for anyone who is Child-free and in thirties thirties or forties..... Am NOT trying to lecture anyone. Am just sharing thoughts.

a) Health is Wealth

-Watch your weight. It is one of the toughest things to reduce as you get older. Being obese directly affects the over all health, mobility, joints, BP, etc. Of what use if Money if you are a fat lump of clumsy mass.

-Nurture your Lungs, Heart, Kidneys and Liver. Quit Smoking and Weeds. Also surely greatly reduce Alchohol. Replace this with Swimming, Yoga, Jogging, Cycling etc.

-Cook for yourself. Healthy food can be boring. Make it interesting. Include Veg Salads + Fruits + Sprouts + Boiled Eggs + Seeds + Spices.

-Spend time with people who enjoy outdoor activities and enjoy healthy diet habits. Be choosy about the people you hang out with. Learn to say NO to people who enjoy toxic life style.

-------------------------

If you like these ideas, let me know.

I shall share more tips.

This is just a gesture of friendship and goodness. I have no hidden / commercial agenda.

My best wishes to all.

Been getting aggressive about gulping as many bananas as possible. Good for gut health and potassium!!

Hope to keep gobbling more and more :))

Thank you for your support and encouragement.

My best wishes to you all! May your dreams come true!
