Just ONE Homescreen on Smartphone

Image
In this smartphone age and virtual world of smartphone apps, is it worth keeping tens of screens to scroll through? As a change you can try using just one smartphone screen for all your apps. Look at the screenshot on my Poco F1 smartphone. This comes from my earlier experience of using Windows Phones where the tiles concept was making it possible to use folders so creatively without missing a notification. If possible on Windows 10, why is it not possible on Android? Now that Android has matured enough and is a robust OS, Smartphones look definitely better and do have many productivity features built-in. However, that does not prevent you to have your own say about how exactly you want your smartphone. You can just have one smartphone screen for all most used apps and you can use, if needed, further more screens for effectively utilising widgets. Do let us know if you have any comments or suggestions below.

HUMANITY

                                                   The word humanity is derived from Latin Humanitas for " human nature and kindness". Humanity refers to the kind feelings humans often have for each other. The  values which are considered basically essential in humans include Sympathy, compassion, mercy, brotherly love,  kindness, understanding, tolerance, gentleness,  pity, charity, generosity, magnanimity, etc., Human values are guidelines that help us to generate good thoughts in us so that we can do good deeds,  to think about good towards others not only humans but also other living beings such as animals, birds, etc.,  They also help in our actions we play day to day in our life drama.  They are many and each value is most important to lead a righteous life in the right direction to pave a path towards spirituality....

KARMA AND ITS EFFECTS

Image
The word Karma means action.  It comes from the Sanskrit root 'KRI'.which means to act. It refers to the result of past actions, present actions and actions we will perform in the future. The karmas of the past, present and future are called Sanchita , Prarabdha and Agami respectively. SANCHITHA:   These are the result of actions that have been gathered in this birth and all other previous births.  PRARABDHA:  These are the present actions that we are doing now in this lifetime and their results. AGAMI:             These are future actions that result from our present actions. Lord Srikrishna in Bhagavat Githa said that everyone is forced to act helplessly according to the qualities he has acquired from the modes of material nature and therefore no one can refrain from doing something, not even for a moment. Even for the most highly educated person on the mundane plane, it is impossible to get out of the entanglement...

WHO WILL CRY WHEN WE DIE?

Image
It is natural that if a person dies in a family, all the blood relations and other members will cry for the beautiful, meaningful and colorful memories the deceased has to make them witnessed and enjoyed in their life and the lessons and life-changing values they learnt  from him. The people very close feel great pain for the loss of their well-wisher or friend..  But there may be some members also in the family of the deceased, who cry more than the blood relations, for the sake of Society. Since times immemorial we have been hearing the story of Lord Rama from Ramayana, an Indian Epic.  He was loved by all, and even by His enemies.  He was the embodiment of a perfect human being.  He was given the title of " Maryada Purushothama " considering him as a Supreme being for His unbroken principles as an ideal son, a wise brother, a caring husband, a good friend, the best disciple, etc., but most importantly a notable and admiring king in the clan of ...

SELFISHNESS

Image
We hate others who are selfish but justify ourselves when the same feature( selfishness) is within us.  Lack of sympathy has been seen as one of the roots of selfishness. This trait puts an ugly mark on the soul of an individual. Some selfish people treat others as an option whenever they require some favour from them. After their work is over they treat them like strangers. In Mahabharat, an Indian epic, Duryodhana, son of Dhritarashtra, the king of the Kauravas Dynasty, supported Karna, who was an Archer and the son of a low caste person ie., Sutha in a tournament with his selfish motive. Karna was not allowed to showcase his skills on the basis of his caste.  Duryodhana with his selfish motive crowned Karna as king of a small country called Anga, to take revenge against Pandavas who are s ons of King Pandu, as he desperately wanted a good Archer on his side to match Arjuna. Likewise in Ramayana an Indian epic, there is an instance of selfishness that...
