Looking Vs Seeing ! #ThursdayTreeLove

Wisdom inspired by plants/trees... You walk towards the kitchen in the morning and what first catches your eye is the branches of a tree against the sky, seen straight ahead through the kitchen window. The fresh green of the new leaves gleaming in the sunlight. Each morning, you try to take in this view and...

Head vs Heart

Crossroads in life are all about this. Logic, that is, the head says one thing and your heart says another. There's no doubt that we've all gone through such situations. The answer or decision is comparatively easy at times. At other times, its a real tug of war and we struggle to get out of...

United we stand!

I love to share my thoughts here but when it comes to current hot topics, I mostly refrain from writing about such topics that somehow become controversial and stir up the hornet's nest! The fact being, I realize that I neither have the enthusiasm to defend my stance nor feel the necessity for it. However, in...

Technology Tales

Advancements in technology has made life easier and has enabled us to elevate our quality of life in umpteen ways. An undisputed fact indeed! A single blog post cannot enumerate and do justice to all the ways in which technology had touched our lives. Here, I will attempt to write about just one small bit,...

I is for Inspire

One of the dictionary meanings: fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. I've read about great people and have been wowed by their work, dedication and achievements! I have often wondered what is it that inspired them to do what they did! And how they...

F is for Family!

Fun, Family, Friends, Faith ... the 'F' words that I heart !! Family and faith have been my greatest strengths in life. I cannot stress enough about the importance of a supportive family. One which nourishes you... helps you grow and evolve into yourself.. one which respects and loves you for what you are .. I...

The parenting jig!!

This Mother's day I'm in a rather introspective mood. The thoughts are abuzz since a few days.. and I was wondering if I should write about this at all or not. In the early years of motherhood I've been very short tempered, easily venting out my frustrations. This was due to so many things going on...

Nostalgic!! A trip down memory lane…

As small children, me and sis1 would fight over who would sleep with you. It felt wonderfully soft and cozy and cuddly.. we just loved to sleep with you. You would walk with me to school and back.. I do not remember this vividly but I know it to be an important part of my...

Musings..

I have gotten used to my regular route and am driving quite comfortably now! With the normal traffic, it takes me just 15- 20 minutes to reach my office!! Feels so good.. so awesome to be in charge and to have the freedom.. to not be dependent on the bus, the mercy of auto wallahs or...

D is for Dream!!

And ... for Driving !! Driving my car here on Bangalore roads is a dream come true for me! I've been driving my car for the past 2-3 weeks and I am so much more confident now. I am still accompanied by the driving instructor and am yet to drive on my own, but I...

Looking back.. looking ahead!

This year was one of tremendous changes .. of being thrown.. or rather, of being flung out of my comfort zones in more ways than one.. The first half was filled with certain anxieties and a feeling of a need for change that was very compelling!! I had made peace with the anxieties and come...

Life!! musings..

In our growing up years... though we love our parents ... and are grateful for a whole lot of things.. there are few things about them which we dislike and hope that we never do the same or behave in a similar manner ever!! But, now that I'm this old.. I'm realizing that we eventually...

Of dreams and wishes fulfilled!

I am not one for resolutions and such.. the bullet list that is.. However, 2012 was different... maybe inspired by some of the blogs that I'd read. I decided to adopt a theme... and it was 'being a more mindful person' which was in keeping with my journey of 'growth'. Not very sure how mindfulness...

Just like that!!

One sure fire way to feel alive is to stretch! Yes.. literally!! Stretch yourself... either physically or mentally and you'll feel the difference!! Yesterday, I attended a conference for Software testers, the first conference that I attended in all these years of professional life. I'd been dilly dallying till the nth moment as I'm not...

I’m loving it :)

The past year has been one of pleasant surprises.. and some significant changes!! I'd want to write some of these at the beginning of 2012. But I guess its more comprehensive now. With the birthday gone by and another brand new year just rolling in... it feels perfect to list these out !! * I...
