Stress seems to the buzzword everywhere and is spreading to new areas where peace and tranquility prevailed not long ago. Stress appears sometimes due to heavy work, monotonous nature of work or even no work. Stress sometimes is due to health problems, relating to children, their studies....... I sometimes wonder how our older generations managed with STRESS!
I am sure they also must be having this "bimari". This was not a common term then, it may be because they were better in managing situations. They knew perfectly well how to manage it,
both at work and at home.
Some people find bliss in cooking and find it an effective way to keep stress away. My mantra to de-stress is to find time for your favourite hobby and devote some time in pursuing the same. I find myself quite activated and fresh in making any non-veg item........
