What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

Some of the cartoon I used to watch during my childhood if I list here it will be many😃 , which I guess is very much less in today’s generation i guess you will have to go to youtube to watch this cartoon now, because now new cartoons has come into market 😅.

I mean those old cartoon characters has replaced by new, may be still some cartoons might be there in broadband or television channel, hmm…. well have to ask someone who uses broadband…….because I don’t use one now, because I guess everyone uses now social media or OTT platform…..

Afterall as kid we mostly watched cartoon more than shows in TV 🤣🤣

Wherein now it’s much more advanced like today we can see in 3D view then storytelling all are kind of new way compared to old cartoon…i can list some of my old cartoon characters which I used to watch which are some of the 1990s characters as well

Flintstones,  Richierich, Bob the Builder, Noddy, Power-puff girls, strawberry shortcake, Oswald, Winee the Pooh, Tom & Jerry and so on…

Prayer, asking suggestions, & correcting where we went wrong…..

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju

How do you plan your goals?

1. Meditation & prayer.

2. Taking suggestion.

3. Correcting.

4. Learning new skills.

5. Connecting or trying to know people…how much I could connect it actually depends how much that person is  interested or dedicated to have healthy  communication or communicate or want to know things through me or my blogs or vlogs if they watch. I try my maximum to share my knowledge which I get through sources to share….so always welcome😀😅

6. Some goals or about your life is although said it has to be kept secret as well no need to reveal to everyone 😅…because it should not hit you back by revealing….i guess we all do…

7. Then life is learning process so lets pray to God that we end up or go through right path…..Let’s hope for good ..

And goals goes on changing everytime just as child says in their childhood that I will become that then after some time I will become this…..so on…. we all are like this so by this we can relate….. everythime new things comes in market we feel or crave to learn or buy that particular things just in similar way goals goes….so goals is a never ending 😀 For some people it takes time to reach goal while some achieve fast…..but that’s not end of the world….half of the world face it….but it’s said slow & study wins the race….Actually I just shared my view now everyone has theirs….😅

Just take an example of writing something or starting a new blog… first you will find topic, then write content,  then align & soo much procedure like step by step same goes here…sometimes error happens but we rectify it right & end up making a perfect blog….so….yes that’s goal….you wanted to prepare blog & you did it

Hope you found it fascinating. If have any suggestions let me know in the comments below 😀

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

Source: AI generated image created using Microsoft Capilot

As per the question asked, the most important thing I will carry along with me will be water while traveling, my phone, electronic devices,  books, pen & other essential things needed. If girls or women’s one can relate.😀

If its mens i won’t be able to figure out. As per my wild guess it might  be water , any electronic devices, watches, tissues etc… depends on an individual 😅😂.

As my siblings are sisters , so i have no idea about mens 😅…..Anyways the topic wasn’t here🤣 i went way too far😅 Well!!…the question was what to carry all time??….According to me common important thing for both men and women to carry along with them would be water, wallets, mobile, IDs, pens & other remaining items would be left for that person😅, because I don’t know what all will be needed other than the above listed important item…

List if asked for a while it might be many….some which I can’t list here as it’s a long list…..few I have listed above which I guess everyone do carry….

Hope you find the blog interesting. If any suggestions let me know in the comments below

I guess one should seek both….

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju

Are you seeking security or adventure?


In my view, we should seek both security and adventure in life. There are times when we need our families and friends around us, offering support and comfort. At the same time, adventure is what teaches us new things and allows us to explore. Often, without even realizing it, our lives are full of adventure—we are the explorers of our own journeys.

Every time we encounter something new and strive to learn or find a solution, that itself is an adventure. Whether it’s traveling to a new place and navigating unfamiliar routes, learning a new subject, or venturing into a new field or business, these experiences are all adventures in our lives. Adventures are a fundamental part of life, while the security provided by our families and friends is essential and comforting, and they should not there just for times of need but part of our life😅.

Relationships shouldn’t be like things you use once and throw away. Instead, they should be like adhesive bonds that stick around. Think about how when you stick something in your DIY crafts, it stays put! (Never mind that sometimes we end up tossing those DIY creations. 😅 Even I do it sometimes, but we cherish the good memories, right?)

Imagine a relationship like paper and glue: one is the paper, the other the glue. Or like paper and a pen: one is the paper, the other the pen. Without the pen, how will we write on the paper? Without the glue, how will we make crafts? And let’s not even get started on folding paper crafts! 😂 I know some of you thought of that!

So, what I’m saying is, strong relationships are like strong glue or a reliable pen. It might sound funny, but everyone has their own perspective. 😅😁 Hope you found this interesting! If you have any suggestions, let me know in the comments below. 😀

The Ultimate authority is with God…😅

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

The Ultimate authority is with God….we are just small part of it….

If you ask a part personally the field of writing, reading , science…so…..on….

As writing blog I personally feel this practice can help you share your view to people, know others views through blog & improve your writing & communication skills & get exposure to interesting topics……

Reading obviously everyone know these practice can again enhance our neurotransmitters and make it more engaging….reading reactivate our neurons cells everytime we wash & wakeup our brain cells😅🤣..I guess we all do…..Reading some good sci-fic, novels, research paper or some good science books will do the job…..

Why worry!!! you can even sometimes read my blog….anyways not forcing just a suggestion folks!!!😅

Then working in science field or lab or just scribbling some html or javascript code in html notepad….practically to create a website during free time as a journey of learning….😅 & list may be many these are some few….life is learning process……

Hope u find it interesting folks!!! Everyone has their own suggestion!!! If any suggestions let me know in the comments below😁😀😀…

Follow for more interesting topics!!

Many books😅

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

“Books: the only place where you can lose yourself and find yourself at the same time.” 📚🔍😆

I have so many memories of the books I read as a kid! 📚✨ Here are a few favorites…

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling 🧙‍♂️: This magical series follows the adventures of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It’s a global phenomenon and has enchanted millions with its themes of friendship, bravery, and the battle between good and evil.

Twinkle: These monthly comic books are quite popular in India.They’re filled with fun stories, interesting characters, and vibrant illustrations. They’re great for a light-hearted read and often include moral lessons and cultural references that resonate with Indian readers.

Dork Diaries by Rachel Renée Russell 😂: This series is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell and her life in middle school. It’s written in a diary format and is full of humor, drama, and relatable moments. Nikki’s quirky personality and her struggles with friends, crushes, and school make it a hit among young readers.

I also loved reading some cool science fiction books, which transported me to futuristic worlds and sparked my imagination. Different types of encyclopedias were fascinating too, providing a wealth of knowledge on various topics. I used to buy some books, got others as gifts, and borrowed science books from libraries, friends, or family.

I remember finding a book called The Swallows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra on a train once! It was published by New York Times i think🤔🤔….🚂 It was left behind by a foreign couple. I wanted to return it, but by the time I noticed, they were already gone. It’s a powerful novel set in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of life under a repressive regime. The book was such a great read! 📖

And of course, the most important book of all—the one read by millions around the world—the Holy Bible 🙏: This sacred text of Christianity contains teachings, parables, and stories that offer spiritual guidance and moral lessons. It’s a cornerstone for many in their faith and daily life.

Reading these books was a huge part of my childhood, and they’ve left a lasting impact on me!

It’s like being happy & be around good environment & family

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

“Having it all? Picture this: a table full of delicious food 🍽️, surrounded by loved ones sharing stories and laughter! Because sometimes, the simplest joys bring the greatest happiness! 🥰✨ #FamilyFeast”

For me, ‘having it all’ means having a happy family and being in a nice place where we feel good.

As the Bible says, ‘Love one another deeply, from the heart.’ While we all want different things, what really makes us happy is having each other and feeling good about where we are.

Money and things can make us smile for a bit, but what really matters is the love we share and the warmth of our family and friends. ‘Having it all’ is about appreciating what’s important and finding joy in the little things that make life special. 💖🏡✨”

Change in gene code may explain how human ancestors lost tails. Mechanism behind change may reveal new role for parts of the genetic code.

Posted on by Rittu Sara Raju


Hey there! Ever wondered why humans don’t have tails like monkeys? Well, researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine may have figured it out! They found that a genetic change in our ancient ancestors might be the reason behind it. This discovery, published as the cover story in the journal Nature, compared the DNA of tail-less apes and humans with that of tailed monkeys. They discovered a DNA insertion shared by apes and humans but missing in monkeys.

To dive deeper into this, the research team engineered mice to see how this insertion, found in a gene called TBXT, affected their tails. Surprisingly, they found a variety of tail effects, even some mice born without tails! Dr. Bo Xia, one of the study authors, expressed excitement about unraveling this evolutionary mystery that has intrigued him since childhood.


Previous research had linked over 100 genes to tail development in various vertebrates, leading the authors to hypothesize that changes in these genes’ DNA code played a role in tail loss. However, they were astonished to find that the differences in tails didn’t stem from mutations in TBXT, but rather from the insertion of a DNA snippet called AluY into the gene’s regulatory code in the ancestors of apes and humans.

This discovery sheds light on how genetic instructions are converted into proteins and how alternative splicing can influence traits like tail length. Despite not directly altering the protein-coding sequence, this insertion influenced alternative splicing, resulting in various tail lengths.

The researchers speculate that this genetic change, which occurred about 25 million years ago, might have provided an advantage for life on the ground compared to trees. However, it’s also associated with a small increase in neural tube defects in mice, hinting at a possible evolutionary trade-off.

In addition to providing insights into our evolutionary history, this study showcases the intricate complexity of the human genome and the role of “jumping genes” in shaping our traits. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how tiny genetic changes can have profound effects on species over millions of years.

The study, led by Drs. Bo Xia, Jef D. Boeke, and Itai Yanai, involved a collaborative effort from several researchers at NYU Langone Health and was supported by various grants and funding sources.
