Your peace in times of chaos

Gautam Buddha once said ' You yourself, as much as any one else in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection." Your peace is your own to make and preserve! Its your prime responsibility to yourself. You cant let extraneous happenings fill your ears and heart. Care for the words of your closest and no one else. Let toxic people not be a part of your circle. In this fake world where people show fake lives on social media stick to your closest, i dont say dont be an extrovert but you gotta be ruthless in maintaining who you call your own. Dont be swayed by others opinions. Hold your own, care least of what others think and say. Your competition to be better should be with yourself, do not seek external validation. You are your own beacon.Your belief in yourself should be primary and non negotiable. Others words dont mean a thing except if it comes from the closest of the close. Your belief in yourself often ensures whether you fulfil your dreams or not. I have learnt to value opinion and guidance of my parents, husband, daughter and closest friend Foram. They are my heroes who know who i am and their belief in me and mine in them is unshakeable. And their love n faith in me makes me who i am. As Geet says in the movie 'Jab We Met', "Main apni favourite hun", so be your favourite and dont let anyone change that belief in yourself. Hold your peace. Our time in this world is so less, lets make the most of it.

Fitness Quickie

This post was written in July and most of what is written holds true even today. Back in June, I had some time off and went to visit hubby who is on a sabbatical and studying. I use my holidays to eat, sleep and have fun, try new local cuisines, soak in the local life! I did all the above but also exercised a lot of restraint and used the gym at least 5 days a week, enjoyed the college life again, evening walks in the beautiful campus which is green and massive. The evening visits to the wonderful juice shop were awesome. Fresh air and delicious juice. My daughter particularly loved her Mango shake and adults oscillated between pomegranate, mausambi, watermelon etc. Quick fitness updates: 1. Weigh about 65 kgs. Yes I have lost close to 10 kgs ladies. Update: Been at this weight for like 2 months now. 2. I have partially quit milk, sugar, and to compensate for my daily calcium needs have started a bowl of curd instead. This curd is not made of skimmed milk. Quitting sugar is par...

On to a new life

I have relocated to a new city. I am the new lady in town. The culture, food habits, weather, traffic, language is all very different. Until now i was cocooned in my home town, i knew what to expect from the city, the people, the office... this is entirely new terrain to me....my work profile is different...life is now not easy, ITS FULL OF CHALLENGES. But, I, like many women my age and conditions was in a quandary as to continue working or call it a day. But i stuck to it, stuck to this job. Few years back my parents had a dream for me, i completed my engineering, did post grad and joined this public sector company after struggling and working for it real real hard....Should i give up this dream or should i use every bit of strength I have, to keep this job? I chose the latter. I don't have the support i had in my hometown, but i have thought of working at ways to sort things out and not let negativity creep in. When you are positive, god and forces around you help you in ways y...
