The world has truly changed and not for the better. Within these changes we, the human being truly seeks peace. At the end of the day in my understanding, no one is born to cause chaos, it is taught. Once taught and experienced as we grow from an infant to an adult, we still choose. As the world unfolds and shifts into this newly forming reality we must keep in mind that we all must evolve or we will all lose. No matter who you are, how much money you have, where you come from or what you believe in there is and will always be something bigger than "you" or "us".
I often wonder as I think and meditate on what is going on and why are people allowing themselves to give in. And I remember, there was a very slow process of grinding down the human essence of the skill and the will for humanity to chose better overall. To truly become brave and make a choice not to participate in any acts that will bring hurt or harm to this planet and to my fellow human. At the end of the day, I am sure that we all, like to live on this planet in balance.
How can we do this? I overstand that it is difficult to come together with people these days, so the only way is to start with of course yourself. I know, so clique right, LOL!!! Clique, but true. Lately, as I watch humanity struggle with their very own moral compass and trying to balance with all that is happening I would say start with simplifying your life. Thoughts are things: Change self-talk into more positive self-talk. This will be a great start to work on and it is an inward quiet work. Remember to be compassionate and give yourself a hug. We often forget to do this and it may be hard for many to do these days for many reasons. It is also good to turn off the television, put down your cell phone, and if you need noise there are a lot of great instrumental sound therapy kinds of things there. I do this often and this helps me to keep a positive outlook on my goals and life in general. People and Family: This is a tough one, and I will say start with understanding. Sometimes when you understand why a person is acting in a certain way that is not matching your energy by leaving peacefully is also showing compassion. To simply put it, don't add to the chaos as much as possible. Not every situation needs a response or participation. At times, it is best to be a compassionate observer to further understand what is going on and to take time out to really think and truly see through compassion so that you can stay balanced in chaos. Family, friends, and relationships with others are at best a hit and miss. This is true even for those that have had relationships for years. Food: Change in the way you eat is also a great start. This can be a great way to contribute not only to good health but to a possible "family and friends" back at the table eating, talking, and enjoying each other again. Food brings people together and this is a fact. Let me be clear "good food". I live in Chicago, so we are a foodie town. You can get some of the best food here and of course, that includes pizza!!! Eating a better diet by cooking more at home will bring a higher vibration. Cook at home at least 3 times a week. And I mean cook a real meal. Make biscuits and homemade soup. Laughter: No matter what I always laugh, every day. I kick back and go to a favorite place and I laugh. This may sound crazy to you all but I am going to tell you, I laugh at life. Why not, LOL! Life tent to have a funny side, it will do things to you that are terrible and when you look back you laugh at it. So cry now, but you get to laugh later. I have gotten good at laughing at life, and it certainly helps.
This is a great start to letting go and turning your back on things that don't serve you or this planet. It is true, we only have this one and we don't have the technology to go to another quite yet, so we need to make things better with this one and with each other. Yes, humanity can be good, we can have peace on this planet and with each other. This can happen for us all. We simply must turn our backs on numbers and start to simplify our lives and the way we live.
I appreciate being here with you all. I will continue to write and grow here and upload more content and do video content also. I look forward to sharing with you all again. Stay safe, stay abundant and stay balanced. And remember this is all a process.
Sincerely, Kush Nubit

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Top 3 Indian Towns with Sub-Zero Temperatures: Experiencing the Frozen Extremes
India is a land of contrasts. From tropical beaches to arid deserts, the subcontinent boasts an incredible diversity of climates. While most think of India as a warm, sun-drenched country, it also has regions where winters are harsh, and temperatures plunge well below zero. These towns, located mainly in the Himalayas, challenge the very notion of life in extreme cold. For travelers, adventurers, and researchers, they offer a unique experience—a glimpse into a frozen, high-altitude world where survival is a skill and winter reigns supreme. Here, we explore the top three Indian towns known for sub-zero temperatures. 1. Dras, Ladakh: India’s Coldest Inhabited Town Nestled in the Kargil district of Ladakh, Dras holds the title of the coldest inhabited town in India. Sitting at approximately 3,300 meters above sea level, Dras experiences winter temperatures that often plummet to –30°C or lower, earning it the nickname "The Gateway to Ladakh." The town’s extreme cold results from its high altitude and the valley’s geography, which traps frigid winds. Winter in Dras is not just cold; it is long and harsh. Heavy snowfall can isolate the town for weeks, making access to essential supplies a challenge. Roads often close, and the local population relies heavily on stored provisions and community support. Despite the harsh climate, Dras is rich in culture and history. Its proximity to the Line of Control makes it strategically important for India, and the military presence is significant. Locals have adapted with sturdy stone houses, traditional woolen attire, and high-calorie diets to withstand the biting cold. For visitors, Dras offers breathtaking landscapes of snow-capped peaks and frozen rivers, a rare glimpse into extreme high-altitude life. 2. Leh, Ladakh: The Cold Desert Capital Leh, the capital of Ladakh, is perhaps India’s most famous cold-weather town. At 3,500 meters above sea level, Leh regularly sees winter temperatures fall below –15°C, and nights can be even colder. Despite being a major tourist hub in summer, Leh transforms into a cold desert in winter, where life slows down, and survival becomes the primary focus. Leh’s unique climate—dry, thin air combined with intense cold—creates one of the harshest living environments in the country. Snowfall is lighter than in Dras, but the cold is uncompromising. The frozen Zanskar River becomes the site of the Chadar Trek, an adventure that attracts thrill-seekers worldwide but demands careful preparation against frostbite and hypothermia. Residents of Leh have mastered the art of enduring the cold. Homes are built with thick walls and insulation, heating is often solar-assisted, and winter diets are rich in fats to sustain energy. Leh illustrates human resilience in extreme conditions, combining traditional knowledge with modern adaptations. 3. Keylong, Himachal Pradesh: The Frozen Heart of Lahaul Keylong, located in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, is another town where winter is a formidable force. At an altitude of roughly 3,100 meters, Keylong’s temperatures can drop to –10°C to –20°C during the coldest months. Unlike Ladakh, Keylong experiences heavy snowfall, which often blocks roads and isolates the town. Life in Keylong is shaped by the winter’s harshness. Locals store essential supplies months in advance and rely on traditional wooden houses and insulated clothing to survive. The town, surrounded by snow-covered peaks and monasteries, holds cultural and administrative importance in the region. Infrastructure projects such as the Atal Tunnel have improved connectivity during winter, making Keylong more accessible. However, the town remains a challenging environment, reminding visitors of nature’s power and the endurance required to live in high-altitude cold zones. Why These Towns Are Significant These sub-zero towns highlight India’s climatic diversity and showcase human adaptation in extreme conditions. They are living examples of how culture, infrastructure, and survival strategies intertwine to sustain communities in some of the harshest environments on Earth. Furthermore, these regions offer important insights into climate change. Shifts in snowfall, glacier melt, and temperature extremes directly affect local life, agriculture, and water resources. Studying these towns helps scientists understand high-altitude ecosystems and develop strategies to mitigate climate risks. Final Thoughts India’s frozen towns challenge the perception of the country as a land of heat and humidity. Dras, Leh, and Keylong not only experience sub-zero temperatures but also demonstrate resilience, tradition, and adaptation. They are destinations for adventurers, scientists, and travelers seeking to experience life where winter dominates, nature is formidable, and survival is a daily achievement. Visiting these towns is more than sightseeing—it is an opportunity to witness human ingenuity and endurance against some of the harshest winters on the planet, offering a perspective of India that few outside the Himalayas truly understand.
