Making things from paper is easy, therapeutic and can make your surroundings more beautiful. Start with making origami swans and move on to more difficult things like dinosaurs and even eagles!

Computer shortcuts

Cooking

A life skill that everybody needs. It is not easy or even possible to survive on maggi or packaged food as it is very unhealthy. Simple recipes like daal and rice or even soups, barely take ten minutes to learn and with practice, those take even lesser time than that!

It is also always nice to see clothes orgnaised as that also helps in calming the mind.
