Amusing Musings

terrible twos they call it.. one is equal to two kids literally :) i had a privilege of preview since a month before she turned 2! :) very demanding, stubborn, cranky, very curious, short attention span, naughty and all the more charming.. my lil devilish angel Bhuvi.. my world, my bhuvi. she has been sick for a week. hadn't eaten solids in about 5 days!.. surviving on milk, a cookie or cerelac once a while.. hmm. it must be common for kids this age and in this changing season but... doin my best for her to get her back to her happy & healthy self. Endless Love, Bhuvi's Mom

Question: How to look young and feel great? This is probably the most wanted and the most searched for wisdom in this world. Also, it is the most easy to say and the most difficult to practice. Answer: • Eat Healthy • Sleep Well • Drink enough Water • Work out – cardio and weight training for the muscle(which is very important in improving metabolism) • Laugh away to a healthy heart • Try something new, fun once a while • Love yourself – cleanse, tone, moisturize, scrub, massage, indulge(sports, spa, shopping, sx… whatever it is that gives you pleasure) once a while • And Maintain loving, supportive and positive relationships. Surround yourself with people who share your interests and are encouraging and non-judgmental. Toxic friendships and relationships are energy drainers. Now, the last point is what I am unable to achieve no matter how hard I try. I live eat sleep work between certain people who have a certain expectation and I have to live or behave b...

Indians spend more on kids’ education; less on food… reads the headline of an article in TOI. Some spend most of their lives cribbing about things that didn’t happen for then, things that did happen for others, less on making things happen! IT professionals spend most of their lives in the office working, less or hardly at home living. some by choice some by no choice. Guys there are a lot better and meaningful things to do than to just sit around in the office, hang around in the break room, around your colleagues desk, gossip around in the canteen… or probably clever ways to multi-task and actually make a borin routine into sth interesting and refreshing. may be listen to music, read, talk, sleep, take pictures, draw, paint, sing, make a scrap book... hmmm :D Pick a hobby, make a habit, get a good work out, watch a refreshing movie, read a good laugh inducing article/book, spend most time with the ones most important to you and spend significant time with yourself. Have no re...

It’s been ages since I posted anything. I keep thinking about a lot of frivolous, wacky, thought provoking subjects and I make a mental note of it. That is how far I have been able to get too for a long time. Procrastination not because of laziness… because of the rigorous, monotonous chores. I have to be extra dynamic, extra energetic, just more proactive. Gosh I must have changed by leaps and bounds after Bhuvi’s arrival in my life. It still is not enough. Give me More!... … Of super computing, super energizing, super persistence, super multi-tasking and super woman – ness :)

An interesting article I read talks about a new branch of pyschology. Psychology by itself interests me a lot. When it talks about feeling good and creation of happiness.. i think its definitely worth a read by anyone... POSITIVE Psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology that studies what makes life meaningful, what brings happiness, and what promotes mental health. Research and thinking in Positive Psychology holds that there are three paths we take to feeling good and creating happiness in ourlives: pleasures, gratifications, and meaningful activities. Pleasures are activities that delight the senses, make us feel better easily and in the moment, and take no effort to enjoy. The act of eating delicious food is a pleasure — it feels good, and anyone can enjoy it. (The downside of pleasures are that their effectiveness diminishes over time.) Gratifications are activities that use our strengths, challenge us in just the right way, and lead to the experience of flow. Gr...

too many battles to fight with the rest of the world, don't fight with 'you', which could be the biggest and worst battle... friends with 'you', you have won half the world... how to make peace with yourself? the mystery... to each her/his own what we need is a friend,  to console, to motivate, to inspire, to nourish or to simply listen and care. a friend can be a person, place, piece of literature, acquaintance with nature, a thing that makes you happy, an activity etc.
