So lots of us are cribbing at this time, the entire country is in quarantine. It's been 8 days..and another 20 to go. I am just saying that make the most of it. We will never get this time back again. We will never get this break..of-course working from home but the time that we have, the extra time . Its amazing. Like i am really enjoying it. We will not even know and it will be over. It is just okay to slow down and just take a back seat. Wake up, listen to the birds chirp   🦅 - no sound of vehicles or traffic whatsoever. Cool breeze ⛰  - no pollution, clean air. Eat home food 🥘  - make your own- the way you like it - just the way you like it. Your pace  🐢 - Do things at your pace- no rush-hush- deadline. Light candles 🕯  - a different fragrance everyday- light your room-light from within Write 🖊  - I am not a seasoned writer. I can only write if I am feeling something strongly. And since the time I have been at home, feeling so many thi...

Nobody creates from a place of certainty. You can’t predict the future. You never could. Nobody can. Despite this fact, you took action in the past. You made brave decisions without absolute proof. You loved without knowing if your love would be rejected or returned. You did things you were not sure would work. You tried, knowing you might fail. You trusted things would work out. And if they didn’t your resilience enabled you to try again. We are our most creative in times of uncertainty.😊

Helllooo Quarantiners! Hows it going? Let me talk about myself. Its day  9 of staying  quarantined  at home. I have never been home for  such a long time.  Like i have gone on holidays.. taken breaks but never sat at home for such a long period of time. And i must tell you it feels good . Actually I am WFH. So every morning we have a call at 930am and by then I am ready to like start work ( not showered but) I end up finishing all my work by 1230-1pm as there are no disturbances no colleagues  to faff with... you just ending up focusing on work and finishing it. Post that i have lunch..and then start to read interesting work related news, features, e-books, podcasts. Infact I have also taken up an online course. I am done with all of this by 6pm and obviously working in between all the reading. I start watching some international content..not English. Watched a few French, Spanish films. For most of us who have never had the opportunity to stay h...

Lets not judge, get the facts.  This lesson is about social media. One thing I’ve learned about our generation is we often judge based on what we see online, when in reality we haven’t a BREEZE! We run with something even though we might not even know half of the story. Always remember that social media only shows you PART of someone’s life. I think I focused on this a lot over the past few months. I really stress to not compare yourself to people online. They aren’t showing you their failures, they aren’t showing you their arguments with their husbands, they are showing you what they WANT to show you. I know 90% of wouldn’t dream of commenting or sending a nasty message to someone but sadly there are the other 10% that have no problem with this. So before you screenshot a photo for your what’s app group to gossip about that person, think twice. We all need to remember that there are real people behind that screen with real feelings like you reading this. I know that with a gro...

You are a storm. Off in the distance.. I can see the dark brooding clouds The energetic flashes of lightning But you are off in the distance.. I can't hear the crack of thunder or  I can't smell the rain as it hits the hot earth.. I long for the monsoon in dry land.. But the winds take you elsewhere You are a storm. A brutish force of nature Beautiful in your chaos.. Your lightning may strike, You can create fire. Your rains may flood, You can carve rivers. But always.. Life thrives in the aftermath of your destruction. You are an artist. And I admire from the distance.

- tell your friend that you love her shirt - laugh!! laugh a lot and never hold it back!! And giggle for no reason :) - forgive - if someone or something is upsetting you, take a deep breath and let it go. don't let if affect you or how you treat others - ask people questions about themselves. it makes them feel good -cry, sometimes you need to - play with your little nephew - focus on your energy - crawl into your parents bed and talk to them - be selfless no matter what - take a million pictures but dont forget to live them. - smile until your cheeks hurt -look at the stars - irritate your little sister - always sing the song at the top of your lungs -be open to experiencing new things and new feelings -treasure your mom. she loves you more than anything in the world. - appreciate the beauty that earth brings - just KISS him - don't be afraid to believe in something - be spontaneous with people you love - say yes. dance in the rain. go on a roller coaste...

I am having a love affair, and it’s been going on for a while now. I guess if I really think about it, it all started when I was a just a child. I didn’t experience the ocean until I was ten years old, but I’ll never forget that first time. It was It was the summer of 1994, and I was headed to tithal this pretty beach near Valsad on the west coast of India  with my cousins, aunts and uncles. Upon arriving at the beach, I literally threw my bags at my aunt and headed straight to the beach   The sun was just beginning to set. Reflections of shimmering gold and deep orange lit up my face and beamed into my eyes as I ran as fast as I could towards the ocean. I didn’t bother to strip my clothes off . The instant my legs hit the water, I fell head first under a “big” not-so-blue wave. My entire body was immersed and instantly new sensations never experienced before washed over me. I felt as if I was being rebor...
