Think Globally. 

Today, I and my collegues, after our tiring fisrt half, sat together to have our lunch. We were very hungry and wanted to just finish our food. We opened our tiffins and started having our lunch quietly. One of my collegue had got paneer muttar and it was super spicy and tasty. I was able to see the change in our mood after we had a bite of that. You know what actually made the difference in the lunch enviornment? they were the spices in her food. Yes Friends!! Spices!! They are the mood boosters and energisers to your body.
