F is for Friendship

When I was younger, my parents, my sister and I, we lived in a little township, in a less popular Indian state. This township was 60 kilometres away from the nearest city on one side, and walking distance to the sea on the other side. It was like a world in itself. The people who …

E is for Endurance

Endurance is a learned quality. It’s about standing tall when the world around you is falling. It’s one of the greatest things to have in the seat beside you on the rollercoaster of life. Endurance is what I strive towards. It’s something I believe I’ve also acquired a little bit in my life. It was …

D is for Death

This is a grim topic but one of the things I find myself thinking about quite often. It’s interesting to me because how you live your life depends on what you think about death and what comes after. It’s a mystery that begets a lot of opinions. As uncomfortable as talking about death is for …

C is for Challenges

Challenges are a part of everybody’s life. We have all faced tough times in the past and will have to in the future too. Maybe even right now. There are challenging people we sometimes have to deal with, situations and decisions. For me, challenges evoke an initial feeling of helplessness, followed by stress and thoughts …

B is for Body Positivity

Body positivity simply means accepting people of all shapes and sizes without judging/being judged. Unfortunately, the world that we live in makes it hard to do that. Here I want to talk about body positivity in terms of the self, because we tend to judge ourselves more than others. It is difficult to develop a …

A is for Ambition

Ambition is a very sought-after word. You hear it in the way people describe themselves and they're applauded for it. Ambition defines competitiveness and proactiveness. It tells others that you have goals and plans for your life. I, on the other hand, am not ambitious, not in the way society preaches it. I have never …

Week 4: Here’s The Thing About Paleo Diet

It's been a week since I started Paleo diet to see if it helps my Type 1 Diabetic husband control his haphazard sugar numbers. I will write about my experience in the next post but I wanted to write about my general observations while following this diet in this post. Here's what I learned- There's …

Week 3: Walking While Travelling

Week 3, my goal was to walk 10,000 Steps every day, for 7 days. The week, coincided with a trip I took with my husband, but I decided to stick to it. In a way, it was cheating because people tend to get out and walk more when they're travelling and exploring new places. Still, …

Week 2: Meditation Isn’t for Me

I started the week with downloading two highly recommended apps for meditation- Headspace and Calm. Both of these apps are free to download but with a very basic beginners meditation guide. To get more stuff, in-app purchases are required. Comparatively, I liked Calm more because of the music on there, very calming spa-like music that …

Week 1: Early Mornings- Round Up

Sticking to the practice of waking up early in the mornings have been challenging, more than I thought it would be. It requires the discipline to not only give up your snoozing habits but also to sleep early, which is a real bummer for night owls like me. Day 5, 6 and 7 I slept …
