My Diary

Paani puri Lil ones smile her saying good mrng smell of rain hair cut Choosing a nice lipcolor cheese ma papa at my home driving on an empty road High decibel music Watching the lil one play hot cuppa adrak chai smell of winter Maggi (original masala) Dominos choco lava cake hot long drives Leisure moments spent doing nothing with him perfumes lovely pair of shoe novels on a sunday noon late night movies Candle lit bathrooms what makes u happy? U must jot it down to recreate those magical moments often in ur life...

I have a lil one who’s shortly going to turn 5. We went to this restaurant the other day, there was a couple sitting next to us..Both parents were high on their drinks, I could just listen to Shamit, finish your plate, Shamit pls don’t stand there, Shamit eat fast, Shamit pls dont crush my saree, Shamit behave…Ugh…I pitied poor Shamit who was hardly living like a kiddo his age should! There were way too many instructions for his age... So just thot of sharing little pointers for helping your children grow smart, happy and confident: 1. Don’t mother them too much…let them explore life( while keeping them safe)! Let them dirty their hands in the mud, let her wear that faided house skirt to an outing if she really wants. It helps them develop confidence and self esteem! Here i am not saying to let them roam around without guardian outside the house, i say that while you keep these lil ones under ur watchful eyes let them do things on their own in their own way..give them freedom of c...

Ok…last week was chaotic, busy and stressful. But inspite of all the chaos and mess around me I managed to do my 30 minute walk. Now this is not gym I am talking about. This is a meandering walk through the open environs and fresh air. The fellow joggers change everyday, the vibe, the air and the tranquility does not. In crowded cities too, if you look around, you happen to find small pockets of greens, areas full of trees and fresh air. This area in my neighbourhood is not an ideal walk track but its sorta nice. This road is purgative and its forgiving to me and my soul. It provides me the vent I need, the fitness I crave and the focus I desire! Last few years spent at Mumbai, Delhi and Lucknow, i could somehow always find such amazing sorroundings somewhere lurking around. I am slowly building my pace and my stamina. I am able to manage myself n my stress better n thus the family stays happier! I am eating ok…Partial binges of motichoor laddu brought by my loving papa for Dussehra ...

Confession time ladies...I have been eating unhealthy and piling on weight like crazy. At Hyderabad Office, my work hours are erratic, targets stupendous and food, well food...lets not even talk of that...So while i get myself back to the gym and fitness. This time around i thought to do it more holistically and slowly...Baby steps u see...since dont want to fall off the regime. Healthy from within will showcase on a weekly basis what li'l smart changes i have made in my daily life to feel healthier and fitter! This week for finding fitness within madness i did this: 1- No leftovers to be consumed, no last nights fridge descended pizza. 2- Relaxed meals...sitdown n without smart phone within reach...MINDFUL EATING 3- Buttermilk twice a day for 11am, 4pm hunger pangs. 4- Goodbye tea/ coffee....i realised that while meeting up with clients and stakeholders i ended up gulping 7-8 cups daily...not to mention the increased numbers during month end, quarter end and crazy review me...
