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.

Is your emotional bandwidth taking a dip?

Dont we all occassionally need a break from the daily grind? We sometimes are so emotionally drained that we cannot handle anything more. We exercise, eat nutritious food, sleep for more than six hours and still feel exhausted. Is it because there is too much on the plate? So much is expected from you. Kids want to play with you, hubby wants to know where his socks have disappeared for the 23rd time, you have to decide what you want to wear for work, inlaws just called to know when you can spend time with them, boss wants to know if you can prove your mettle and that he has not made a mistake by hiring a woman who has two kids and a lot going on with her. So many decisions. Small or not, doesn't matter. The fact that so many people are dependent on you for all the answers can be sometimes overwhelming. When as friends, women talk and share, they expect to get support from each other. They share stories and experiences and ask- what do you think? Am I doing the right thing....

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...

Why drinking tea won't change your skin colour.

It's not a secret that in our Indian society people still look at dusky skin colour with much disdain. They will talk about how progressive they are but at the same time twitch their nose at anyone who do not conform to their standards of beauty and intellect. People still think drinking tea which is dark in colour might literally change their skin colour. So the more you drink tea the duskier you become. I cant decide who is more stupider - the people who are perpetuating this to be true or the people who dont drink tea in the fear of getting duskier. Nothing could be more outlandish than a beverage getting to decide who can be fair and who cannot be fair. Furthermore someone needs to tell the dogmatics that the colour of the skin is different because of the melanin in our body which has changed and evolved according to the climatic conditions and relocation of our ancestors for their survival. Just because one is dark coloured you cannot differentiate him/her. The only ...
