Liberated at 35

If not for my solo work soujourn I wouldn't have discovered my old blogposts. I had written them as future notes to myself and I am my future self today and 'Oh Boy' did I have a blast reading them. I wondered why did I stop writing them, because I loved reading them and reminded me of my quirky side.

So in order to do justice to my past self I am writing this blog as my future self. 

I am two daughters old now, it was lot more easier and outsourced this time around. I was definitely far less stressed, which did make me feel a little bit guilty. Because how can you be a mother without any guilt, if you are not guilty you are not doing enough for your child! Oh Mother.

I am in a more calmer, happier place now I have everything that I want and still a world out there to explore to paint my own canvas.

As a note to my further future self, let's see how that canvas turned out!

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...
