Perfection !!!

Everyday I wake up in the morning with a motive to be Perfect!!!! The Perfect mother, the perfect homemaker and most importantly the perfect human being . I have a perfect time-table carved out in my mind, if only it could percolate into my real life. Something or the other falls short!!   Some days, its Tavu who just isn't ready to listen to me or co-operate and other days my own inconsistencies as a person.  Since the day we have come here there are so many things I wish to accomplish and achieve. I want to get back to studies, its been a long gap since 2012 when I last went to a corporate setup.  Since then it's been home and just home, buying a house, fighting with the builders for its possession, convincing them into getting the required amenities(we were the First family to arrive there), to finally setting up the house into a home. But all this was back in India, here in this new country, its a new start almost on the same lines but with a different journey all together.

Stop being Judgemental

Its been quiet some time I felt like writing , I admit I am an erratic writer, a writer of sorts I observe a lot speak quiet less, which is touted as being arrogant and haughty, but have people actually thought that I might be plain shy, plain introvert somebody who struggles with topics for discussion. Funny but that's the fact what people perceive you to be and what you are in reality can be quiet different at times. That brings me to a very important error we normally make as human beings, being judgemental. Yes all of us have committed that mistake once or the other I can't perhaps exclude myself from that ideology. I did that with a friend of mine some eons ago. Today she is my best friend, whom I perceived to be a self centred importance seeker was indeed very helpful and sensitive towards others and I admit I learnt a lot from her. So,Stop judging people according to your whims, give them a chance to show their real self to you and then perhaps form judgements beca

I Love You.......

Its not unusual to indulge in fights with your loved ones, I have realised that small altercations tend to bring you closer. An aunt of mine advised me, do make a note of all the pleasant moments you have in your relationship, cause when people fight they tend to forget the nicer moments spend together, suddenly their focus shifts from all the nice things about their partner, to all that they abhor in their partner.   We tend to be ignorant of the fact that he is the same person we are so much in love with, suddenly your thoughts are flushed with all the ugly things he said to me,all the times, he misunderstood me, to all the times he didn't support me. Whenever you have a fight with your loved one, or you believe you are being treated indifferently, sit back and think "What all do I love him for, make a mental note, if possible jot it down somewhere and think of all the moments when he really brought a smile on your face,(I am sure you can think of a few right away!!!

To You my Friend, I Salute!!!!!

Some people inspire you with their sheer grit and determination……. Just had a conversation with an old friend, we had been on and off friends, talking to each other once in a blue moon. I was astounded to hear his tale of last one year, how time decided to test his determination and how he held on. A 20 something ambitious guy, who married early to his childhood sweetheart, joined a company and then quit to pursue his entrepreneurial dream. From an outsider’s point of view all was perfect in his life, what more did he want not many are as lucky as him to get all they want. Seemed like for the rest of us who were still struggling to comprehend what we expected from our life, he had already got what he wanted, until the day came when his mother had a heart failure. He somehow grabbed himself to this news, after all parents are most precious for any child. He got her admitted in a local hospital and after much ado the doc said that she had to be taken to a bigger and better

Tryst with Adventure.......

Last year’s, summer, had a lasting impact on me, which will remain etched in my memory till my presence on this earth. My college mates and me decided to give a jolt to our boring nerves and planned a trip to Rishikesh, to experience river rafting!!! We moved out of Chandigarh by mid -afternoon and reached Rishikesh by 8 in the evening. The trip was full of fun and soon we reached our place of stay, where camps had already been set up for us. Besides the river Ganges, it was indeed a sight to behold. The sheer calmness of the environment fills you with a sense of peace and you wonder that God must be somewhere here only. No wonder Rishikesh is the abode for many ashrams, and is a famous pilgrimage for Hindus. Away from the hustle-bustle of the city life, the night was serene and we slept early to wake up for a day filled with fervor and ardor. Quite surprisingly, a late riser like me was up and running at 5am in the morning, thanks to Mother Nature. The scintillating

Online Shopping and me.....

Like many other skeptics, I too wasn’t sure of the success of online shopping. It was way back when I was undergoing my grads that ecommerce was a much heard about term, and was often referred to as the next generation "in-thing". I won’t lie I had my reservations, even though at that point in time I was myself learning about html and how to code websites. But as they say, any novel idea, when implemented with sincerity and passion provides wonderful results, and today we are in the midst of an era where online shopping websites are mushrooming by the day. I used to live in a tier 2 city in Uttar Pradesh, and was introduced to Snapdeal by a friend. Being the curious kind that I am, I was eager to comprehend their business model, how does their business function, how can they make profits by providing subsidized products and services to people, and why on earth would businesses give away their profit margins to them. I must say it intrigued me a lot, since it was indee
