You don't have to settle for less.


The biggest hurdle for your growth is your mind. It works in mysterious ways. It will think one thing and make you believe that it is the best for you. It will confuse you. Too many voices. Which one to trust?Most of the times I dont know what I am going to do till the very end. And then I just know. I have the answer. It's always there but somehow we all ignore it because, either it's not what you wished for or you think it's too hard.

You all have to fight for yourselves because noone is coming to save you. If you still think there is someone who is going to catch you when you fall, you probably are sleeping. Because that happens only in dreams. The reality is some of us are not naturally blessed in some aspects of life and its totally okay to be bad at some things and suck at some others.

Nothing cant be not learnt. If you practice and practice, sooner or later you will get there. The question is are you ready to not give up before you reach the destination? Are you willing to allow a bit of disruption to happen in your complacent life. Are you ready to do more to get more? And if the answer is yes then the sky is the limit.

If you think a certain thing will not happen. Your subconscious mind reads that as you dont want that thing to happen. And it is so powerful that it will shift mountains to make things work as you wish. So be careful what you wish and hope for.

The first step to achieve what you want is to believe without any doubt that you will get what you want. You deserve it. And then tell yourself that whatever is needed to be done to achieve that will be done by you no matter the pain and the time and the efforts needed for it.

When you set your goal there should be no turning back. Keep moving. One step at a time. One day at a time. Enjoy the journey. It is the journey and not the destination which will teach you life lessons. The journey of hardships and failures, strength and courage, will and determination will get you closer to your destination. And once you arrive at your destination, embark on a new journey in search of a new destination.

Learning is a continous process with no start and no end. When you decide to change continously you develop and evolve yourself for good. It sometimes will require you to learn, unlearn and relearn. "A foolish consistency is a hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers."- Ralph Waldo Emerson".

Don't be afraid to break the shackles of societal conformity. You dont need anyone's permission to be awesome, to be successful, to be smart, to do what you desire to do, to make changes, to take charge of your life. You need only your own willpower. If the pain is there but not enough to bring out that change, you need even more of the willpower to get you to shake your comatose state of mind and get moving. Come on lets do this. Let's get things moving. Bring it on. Say these things aloud everyday to energise yourself and be motivated to change for the good.

Dad flying to London, made history!

My dad is aviophobic and so when he reached London, I heaved a sigh of relief. My parents were visiting my kid brother who is put up in London since last four years. He had been asking them to visit him since he shifted there. However it always felt on dads deaf ears. My dad has become a little bit socially awkward since past couple of years. He wasn't always like that though. I mean yes, he never liked to travel a lot. His definition of travel meant a twenty minutes ride to my place to meet his granddaughters. Apart from these visits he makes a couple of rounds to the doctors office and once in a blue moon visits his relatives and friends after a lot of pestering from mum. My mum likes to travel a lot. She is ever so excited about exploring new places. So this time around too dad had made it very clear that as he is scared of flying he wont join mum on her visit to London. My mother had to remind him that British Airways will be taking care of the flying part and all he h...

The marvellous Granny.

Grandmothers are special. Especially to their grandkids. Grandkids love and worship their grannies and the grannies adore their grandkids to the moon and back. What if I tell you I know one such granny who adores not only her grandchild but adores other kids too. She is very loving and generous and an amazing cook. She is always so eager to help others and is in fine fettle. At her age, I doubt If we will be able stand on two feet and walk, let alone running errands. I remember when we were young our granny would go to great extents to fulfill our demands. However small or big it would be, she would make sure we got atleast something, which was close to what we asked for. In those days, almost over three decades back, money and food weren't abundant like it is in today's day and time. Most people used to scavenge for things which could be reused. My gran was such a towering figure, not in terms of physique but in terms of substance. She was an amazing woman and stood h...

Now I know why my parents never attended my PTMs

People who have kids will agree with me when I say they are the only ones who can put you in your place without offending you. I have two such brats in my house whose only joy comes from making me eat my words. My elder one is like my dad, always on time and punctual. She likes to be well in time. Which isnt a bad thing. Except on weekends. I feel Saturday and Sundays are sacred and should be reserved for relaxing and enjoying as everyone have had a hectic week and will most likely be having another after these two most sought after days. I personally like to sleep a wee bit more on weekends. Why would the schools deliberately spoil that joy for us by scheduling such early parent-teacher meetings(PTM) on Saturdays. My daughters slot for the meeting is around 8 am. The school is around 4km from our house. So you calculate how early that is for a sleep deprived mother of two kids. Till last week the school had arranged all the big days in a queue. The kids Annual Day, the sports...
