Top of my Life

Every other day on Facebook, Insta, Youtube and any other medium you can get your hands on, we hear about people who were not the best in their class, were bullied, dropped out of school and today are at the top of their lives.

All of them are really engaging stories, I love them and I see that many others too, each such post has over a million views.

But being a straight A student for most of my life, I started wondering is their something wrong with me for not having anything wrong, because for sure people who had something wrong are making it big.

And for some more time I put in effort to figure out what aspects of me can be made to look wrong as that seemed to be the only way to success.

But I am not a great fan of wrong, I really like right. Is it wrong to be right? Last that I can remember parents were really proud of kids who were like that and I am going to be proud of my kid too if she does it right. 

That reminds of how social media is filling up with stories of 'How it is cool to be not right'. 

They are very interesting stories and really show us the power of mankind to change the circumstances that were offered to them, but for sure that is not the only story that I want to fill up my kid with.

Is it Ok to be wrong? Yes

But it is absolutely Ok to be right too. 

And being right is still cool and will forever be cool.

That's how I got myself back to the Top of my life!!

Finally I Quit smoking

Now that's funny because I was never smoking in the first place. I recently came across the book Allen Carrs EASYWAY to stop smoking. This book is truly a gem, which also speaks why it is a number 1 bestseller for stopping smoking. As a non-smoker, I found this book equally engaging and I was hooked to it till the end. What made me read the book is because it is not so much about Smoking and its ill effects but about the Habit which in small quantities and occasionally does not cause any harm, but it's sustained exposure can cause significant harm and irreversible health impacts. Also, he doesn't try to persuade the reader by using scare tactics or by forcing them to stop, he uses a method which I would call 'Dealing with your subconscious and slowly associating it with your conscious' to stop the Habit. Throughout the time I was reading the book, I was thinking about my Sugar addiction and how I have tried to stop it multiple times, just to start it again. H...

Riding on my daughters imagination

Have you ever been in your child's world? An over the pizza chat with my friend, after a crazy round of running around the pizzeria behind my 2-year-old Friend: "When do you think, this craziness stops" Me (instantly): " After the school dulls their creativity"  When I am not obsessing about my parenting responsibilities, it is a delight to look at my 2-year-old. She can create games out of nothing and endlessly engage herself creating-destroying-recreating, as long as her basic needs of food and rest are addressed. My friend and me, we often keep marveling that this undoubtedly is the best age. You are never bored, tired or exhausted. I mention this friend especially because the two of us spent our growing years right from the open creativity to stifled creativity years together. Looking at my 2 years old it gives us a chance to re-live those years of mindless, unabashed creativity.

The Candid Toilet

I love to observe and one of my favorite places to do so is at the washrooms :). ( It goes unsaid that I have access only to female washrooms ). By washrooms I mean the ones at work , malls and airports. In essence washrooms that allow conversations, washrooms where the basics of sanitation and hygiene are taken care and are dolled up to look pretty. The sense of bonhomie that you see among the female inhabitants of a washroom at a given point in time is rare. Lot of times they are strangers to each other but still that knowing/unknowing look they share while surreptitiously glancing at the mirror is fascinating to see. And undeniably they are the best places for Fashion advice, from hair makeup to dressing to shoes. Free and from the heart. I think nothing bonds two female more than there need to be beautiful, it is almost genetic. But conversations are not just restricted to beauty, conversations about friends, boy friends, pregnancy, child rearing, managing parents, in...
