Hello friends, I hope everyone is well and healthy. By the grace of God, I am also well. Today I am participating in a contest. The contest name is Celebrating a Birthday 🧁🧁 organized by @afrinn . Thank you for organizing the beautiful contest.

✅ How old are you? At your age, what do you do to keep yourself happy?

One, two, three, four.... I am now 30 years old. Yes, I have turned 30. My birthday was last month. Now there are no special arrangements for birthdays.

Each person finds their happiness in different ways. For some, cooking is the way to be happy, for some, traveling or wealth is the way to be happy, and for some, money is the way to be happy.
But can anyone be truly happy after all this? No, some things always shake everyone. Even in the midst of all this happiness, it brings a deep sense of sadness.
But you will see some people around you who are always happy and smiling. You don't have to go through much trouble to be happy and smiling in life. If you want, you can easily be happy and smiling all the time.

☞I will share with you how I keep myself happy at my age:

➤ Writing a diary:

Writing a diary is a good habit. Due to which you can write down the good and bad deeds of your whole day. At some point, you will understand what you should do. Good deeds will always bring you happiness.

➤ Listening to old stories from old people:

Everyone has some funny stories from their childhood. Which you can't help but laugh when you hear them. Listen to those stories, no matter how bad your mind is; that story will make you laugh.

➤Learn to forgive:

Learn to forgive no matter how big a mistake a person makes. When you forgive and that person repents. Then you feel very good about yourself.

➤ Be grateful for life:

Only when we are satisfied with what we have and what we have got, the tide of happiness will come in life. Therefore, being grateful for life is very important to be happy.

➤ Keep away worries:

Worries become an obstacle to your happy and happy life. It also takes away all kinds of mental peace. We have many kinds of desires in life, but do all of them ever come true? You can never be disappointed or worried about it. Believe me, what you have received is the best gift for you.

➤ Contact old friends:

Sometimes when you talk or chat with friends, your mind becomes very happy. Your mind feels very light. No matter how much trouble there is, even a little bit of trouble is less.

➤ Expect less:

It is never right to expect more than you can afford. Those who never expect too much, suffer less from anyone in life. People suffer only when reality does not match their thoughts.

➤ Do what you like:

Find out what makes you happy. Find out what makes you mentally happy. Do that thing. Do not suppress your desires.

➤ Do not regret:

One of the reasons for disappointment in life is regret. Never regret what you do not have or what you have lost. You may not have a good mobile phone, but you may have some friends; who are always by your side. Then think that you are ahead of others in this regard.

➤ Do not blame yourself:

If you fail in any task, never blame yourself or others. Mistakes can happen. Try to correct the mistakes that have been made in the future.

➤ Remove things that are out of your control:

You constantly realize that something is not yours. Slowly everything is getting out of control and you are trying your best to control everything. Is the very thing you want to be happy stealing your happiness? If so, then remove that thing from your life in simple terms.

➤ Let people from the past stay in the past:

You may have been hurt by someone in the past, someone may have broken your trust, you may have broken up with a very close friend. Do those things still haunt you? Will they come back when you think about them? Will your pain decrease? If they are not going to come back, then leave those people in the past and move forward in the present.

✅ How do you celebrate your birthday?

Since childhood, nothing much happened on my birthday. I used to watch my mother cook very beautifully and feed me. During college and university, all my friends would celebrate together. A cake would be cut, maybe there would be some snacks, pictures would be taken, and fun memories would be made.
And now, maybe I get a small gift from my husband. Maybe I go out and have a little fun, go to a restaurant, and that's all.

✅ what gift would you be most happy to receive from your family on your birthday?

Birthdays have never been celebrated in a special way. However, I have received small ornaments, teddy bears, diaries, and pots from my friends.

But now, I feel happiest when my husband brings me a small gift. That gift seems much more special and expensive to me. However, most of the time, this does not happen because my husband does not buy me any gifts himself, he gives me money at most.
I like it even more if my brother gives me something. Then I like it a lot more and I don't waste that gift very easily.

✅ What food do you like most on your birthday? And tell us in detail about the food?

To be honest, when it comes to my birthday food, the most special thing for me is the one that my mother makes. And I myself love eating payas.

For payas, I need black cumin rice, milk, sugar, cashew nuts, raisins, powdered milk.

First, I wash the rice well. Then I let the milk heat up. Stir the milk for a long time and strain it. When the milk thickens a little, I add the rice. I also add a pinch of salt. I add cardamom, cinnamon, and a little bit of taj leaves. We usually cook payas with a handful of rice for 1 kg of milk. Stir the rice slowly until it boils well. When it is almost done, add sugar. Then add the nuts and raisins. Then stir continuously so that it does not stick to the pan. When it is done, remove it.

This is my special birthday. Although now birthdays don't seem that special to me because my father's birthday seems much more special to me. So, let me know how everyone feels. Stay well and stay healthy.
