Memories

As we grow up step by step ,we get to deal with too many experiences of life which finally shapes us, i am sure  everyone would have seen this movie 'Slumdog millionair', something like that ,
every incident has some meaning and every person in your life as some purpose to shape you up , its just we have to observe it deeply , every stage of life is interconnected to one another ,its with our conscience and intellect we have to carve ourself , sometime life showers us with too much of  goodness all around and sometime life just leave us all alone , as reality of today's world is ,its getting  fast , very superficial and artificial , some are willing to be part of it and some are just forced to be , because whatever it is we have  to survive it all, when i go for walk i meet many old generation people who are in their final innings of life , when i sit and talk to them some sounds complaining ,some grumpy😉😉 and some are really really happy with life , if given a choice ,if i reach till that phase  i would opt for 3rd option,am sure everyone would want that too, and this all starts from our  childhood , today life is  fast that we dont have time or may be we dnt take out time to have a glance back ,in day to day life there is a battle going on at our neural level , there are tons of stimuli fighting for our attention,we are just running ,we dont know where its going to be the  final destination , it reminds me of this hindi song
" in umra se lambi sadkon ko manzil pe pohonchate dekha nai, bus daudati phirti rehti hai ,humne to teherte dekha nai" but once in a while , if we try to give a look back ,there is lot of knowledge , lessons , love ,affection ,answeres  selfworth , locked  there , and they are altogether called MEMORIES.....


I tried to open up them and one of them was my paintings which i used to do in my school days ,when my dad's posting was in Ranchi, i used to come back from school and then used to rush to my art class with my big board , today technology is so advance ,social medias etc , we can be  a star, we can be a hero ,can be a writer (like how i am LOL), , we can be anything we want to ,haha yeah thats ,hmm thats nice anyways 😀😀😀 but those days we did not have all these platforms , it used to be only our moms who will be presenting all that to friends and relatives 'arey dekhiye meri beti ne ye kia hai , bete ko 1 rank mila hai 'ye wo ,haha .. moms are super sweet ,but that 1 hr of art class used to make me so happy , drawing coloring and finally seeing how it turns out ,sometimes certain things happen in life whose meaning we understand only in later stages of life ,if that one hr could make me feel good about myself without any need of validation from anybody then why do we get trapped in society approval n appreciation today , no doubt it do boost your inner soul ,but we need to make sure that we should not get dependent on it for our own selfworth and quality, 
I laminated them all by myself and preserved it ,because i used to use more of oil pastle color and they tend to get bad over the time ,but they still look fresh .😊

one day when i was feeling gloomy , i kept scrolling over those painting pics in my phone , it made me smile ,boosted my selfworth , and mood , 😊 ,sometime we need to  pat our own back ,encourage ourself , i am in competetion with no one , i try to be away from all superficiality , it suffocates me , though there is nothing wrong whoever likes it , everyone is different ,
 Thats how life gets its meaning brick by brick ,which ultimately makes sense in our final innings

GRATITUDE

There are few things and few strangers,keep crossing my mind time to time , and then the feeling comes Gratitude , read a random blog abt how gratitude makes you happy and more at peace , it really plays a major role in our life ,i dnt know anything about this writer ,but few things were really interesting and could correlate totally,
like some situations in life where you totally depend on some act of kindness from strangers , i remember , when i 1st landed at SFO airport with my 7 months old baby ,who was all the time in my lap, i was so exhausted with such a long hr journey , big time zone diffrence , my senses were not working as i was not used to , for a long time i could not find my husband there ,he came to receive me but was at wrong terminal bymistake ,i got into a panic , i was in a totally strange country ,did not have exchanged currency also,i did not know how to contact ,but there was this stranger came upto me gave his ph to make a call and took my daughter to his lap , i surely thanked him alot , but i should have asked his name and contact to giveaway a better gratitude ,

long time ago,back there in home country , i lost my moblie , n realized it after coming back home , generally we never keep hope that we will get it back ,but when i made a call on my number , tat person responded and asked us to come and collect it , he was not a very educated person , but this restores believe in humanity tat to be human you dnt always have to have high educational degrees .

This wedding anniversary ,went to rose garden for taking some pics , generally i take photo shoot ,but it was way too expensive just for 1 click , i decided to put some setting in my cam n do , when i requested this person to take a pic , he took out his very professional camera ,and took pics , 1st i thought he may charge us , but he said i am just taking i m not into business :) , took so many pics with different ideas of him ,and same day edited them and emailed us , this profile pic of mine clicked by him , i mean these days who has so much time to do all this for strangers , without any benefit in return,this thing was really impressive , i thanked him alot but will be sending him a starbuck card online as a gratitude , to make myself happy ,

so many incidence ,some unkown some just known , i used to treat a lady name rujuta ,she was a BBC journalist , used to guide me alot which really helped ,then I lost contact,even now sometime i look for her name in FB to reconnect but never find :) ,and this all isint waste of time , well in today's world where so many things take away ur trust ,there r certainly things which restores it,it really gives good feeling deep down , that blog says "being happy was situational, conditional, it would come after success,achievement ,money ,status , certain home ,certain job , but it never came that way that it will stay ,In fact, the chase of this idealized non-existent state of happiness left depressed and exhausted.and the answere was practice gratitude 
next time when such stranger cross my path and do some magic , i am surelly going to take down their contact ,they may feel hesitant ,but atleast i should give a try to ask atleast ,

DO ANYTHING DO IT FROM HEART,
FEEl IT FROM HEART

My inner voice

In this super fast world , fitness is very very important but what fitness means actually ,  ? My inner voice says it means feeling good about yourself from top to bottom ,inside out ,it's not all about craving for an attractive physique though it gives happiness to look yourself in the mirror when you are in good shape ,but then this does not garantee that if you are in shape you are fit ,Fitness is something beyond just shape  to me ,it's a word used for huge number of things ,like having good stamina is fitness , having good abs is fitness , having peace of mind and self satisfaction of life is also fitness , practicing gratitude , implementing good habits is also fitness , because all of these ultimately gives you happiness ,makes you feel alive , and anything which makes my life worthful is part of my fitness , I am a common person from a common crowd , living a daily routine life , taken health for granted for quite long sometime out of laziness or sometime lack of determination , but then I realised its not one day thing , it takes time need to have patience , from my experience when you are actually feeling dull about life that's the best time to feel determined about fitness , because the kind of energy you get after that , it really lights up those dull moods , gives an invisible hope and enthusiasm , which in turn works as a great fuel to propel you ,I just started my journey towards fit life and I enjoy every bit of it , experimenting , implementing , seeing results , amazing feeling
Change your life style and you will see the changes you wanted , I am a complete foodie person and am sure many are and we should be because life is colourless without food ,every occasion , every celebration are always Celebrated with colourful varieties on plate , have you ever seen any party or festival done without any special food items , it's a tradition we enjoy it , 🎉😀 and in my case I even enjoy cooking so very hard for me to follow any strict diet ,read many recipes but it mostly talk about replacing this with that ,that with this 😳I was confused because I am fond of those food we ate while growing up ,my mother used to prepare ,I can not jus replace white rice with brown am sure there must be health benefits but those who can is good ,but I tried my ways just twisting those ways 😀 and enjoying them all ,i would prefer taking rice once or twice a week but I'll take white rice only 😀,less quantity and to make myself full would make a chat pata salad dish on the side ,I'll posting pics of my experiments ,following this post ,
                                       I try my best that I should exercise 4 to 5 days a week ,i do it because it boosts my mood ,makes me feel good ,so somehow I try to take out that one hr for myself,post workout I feel a kind of satisfaction ,because we live in a very judgemental society ,too much of comparisons ,competition ,drains out your enthu for life ,there is nothing wrong in being ambitious or competitive but sometime without our knowledge we kind of get carried away that it might hurt others ,and this is part of my mind fitness that I should analys my action and words ,it should not be hurting to others and in case it is I should have no hesitation to ask for apology ,we all are human and we do mistake but working on yourself is also a self improvement ,whenever I asked a sorry or approached people asking that did I do anything wrong I always felt good ,because when u bend a bit you actually grow big ,🙏Oops but I should not drag this topic towards emotional thoughts 😀😀 because I can jot down endless things ,
I do a good 1hr workout with cardio and floor ex mix , and a exercise format ujam is very close to my heart , it's more then jus fitness format for me , but for sure its a great great workout with great music , I am trying to maintain a habit of eating before 8 pm , eating 2,3 kinds of fruits everyday , drinking lots of water , taking 2 Tbs of coconut oil ,coconut water most of the days ,and sleeping good enough but still working on it 😀 I think a lot , which takes away sleep , I try to eat tasty and healthy because I don't see my plate full of calcium ,proteins and carbohydrate etc , like a common person I see plate filled with food 😊, having in depth knowledge about nutrition is good but if you are not that kind of person then there is no need to go too deep , every common crowd is not aware of many things about nutrition and they Dnt have time also to learn but that does not mean they can never have a fit life , just with their own knowledge if they add a bit bit everyday , it will surely show results ,just a little bit of changes here and there an honest workout , works good , I enjoying this path , more and more to explore , more to add , need to get inspired , have to inspire many , taking life one day at a time , trying to give it all till night and take rest all night and get ready for another day again 😀❤️
