Many To One

We tend to have a few people in our life who we are the closest with. They are our Family and Extended Family.

When we count them all, they are many. But when we see it together, many becomes one. That's the thought that counts and matters the most. 

Think about it - When you are in a room full of people that matter to you the most, yes they are many and they all become one!

Slow it Down

                Life is always on a Rock n Roll. But it helps to slow down once in a while and relax. There are ways to do it and these are my ways,

3. Stone Mandala Painting
4. Watch a Movie
5. Listen to Music
6. Do my Nails
7. Call a Friend/Family member
8. Get dressed and go out
9. Go watch a Play
10. Take long Walks

Let's hear what you do to unwind!

My Most Loved Web Series

For the last few days, I have been glued to - JANE the Virgin. Four seasons with over 20 episodes in each season, I must say it was one awesome series.

I am not into Web series a lot. But this one, got me so glued and so hooked, that I finally finished them all. 

The Villanueva Girls - Grandma Alba, Mom Xiomara and Daughter Jane. So beautifully the episodes are shown that there isn't one dull moment. 

Of course the Narrator cannot be missed. I loved his narration.

Can't wait for the fifth and final season to complete one of my most fav shows on Netflix.

Answer Only what is Necessary

         Constantly we are being questioned. But, we own the choice to answer what we want too. It's not necessary to give those extra answers when it is not needed. 

Just answer to the point and it will be fine. We do not need to answer more than what is required. Being to the point is always the best approach. 

Sometimes, in our full zing, we tend to go overboard in our talking. There are so many unnecessary and unwanted responses that flow out. But the deal is in holding and watching out what we respond to questions posed to us. 

Next time, be wise and don't respond otherwise!

NAILS & MY LOVE FOR NAILS

           I love growing my nails. I have been doing it since I stepped into college. For some strange reason, it is always in my Left Hand only. Never my Right Hand nails. 

Always known as the girl with long nails, I flaunt my well kept and painted nails always. For the longest time, I would have really long nails, but now, it's medium length. Absolutely love them. 


Here are my tips,

1. Grow them to the length that they are manageable.
2. Regularly file them and keep them clean.
3. Get a mani or do your own mani periodically.
4. Change your nail colors regularly.
5. Do not walk around with chipped nails or chipped nail polish. 
6. Shape them and maintain it.
7. Use a Base Coat, paint it and then apply a Top Coat.

Keep those nails pretty!

Combinations

         Sometimes - Friends, Acquaintances, Good Friends, Best Friend, Colleagues  are all inter changed. But in reality, that never happens. All of them work in their own capacity and none should be taken for granted ever. 

Acquaintances are always acquaintances and they should never be mixed with Friends. Friends will always be friends and they play a more pivotal role in life. 

Good Friends are always there for you and they show up no matter what happens. 

Best Friend/Best Friends are those that we go up to always. No matter what happens, they never leave your side. 

But sometimes, certain situations and circumstances make us come across people in our lives and we tend to think they are friends. But when the season has passed, these people will pass too. 

So, when we categorize, please use your emotions and connect wisely. Don't ever mix an acquaintance with a friend!

See the Positives

          The Positive Side V/s Negative Side - Which side to we choose? Well, sometimes, some go for the Positive, while some remain to see only the flip side. But, who are we to judge?

Remember, in life, to balance, both positives and negatives are essential. Both of them make who we are. The deal is to not take either too seriously. It is essential to stay calm and stay focused. 

Here are a few tips.

1. Stay Calm
2. Be Positive
3. See the good side
4. Don't dip
5. Don't slip

Smile, because, this too shall pass!

Untangle Yourself

               In life, our aim should be to untangle ourselves from situations that are not pleasant. Situations and people who try to pull us down, shouldn't be encouraged at all. Farther you stay away from it, the better will be it be. 

But at times, we do not know who or what these situations will be. And, even if we come across, will we be able to recognize them? Now, that is a million dollar question. When we come across a situation and with time we realize that this is not going to remain healthy, we should slither away from it. Never try to get involved with people who make our life miserable. The more we involve, the more tangled we get in life. And from there on, it is just downhill.

Always, learn to understand unpleasant situations and sense negative people. Our goal is to remain UNTANGLED!

Work IT Up

                       Most of us aspire to move up the ladder in our professional lives. But have we ever thought what all is essential to get that done. Well, here are a few tips,

1. Discipline is the most important
2. Be Honest
3. Time Management
4. Dedication
5. Diligence
6. Organization
7. Have a plan in place
8. Execute the plan
9. Be smart
10. Be open to learning
11. Be Polite
12. Wear a Smile
13. Own up what you do
14. Be Helpful around
15. Hone your Skills
16. Always Strive Hard
17. Maintain a Goal
18. Keep Rewarding for all your Achievements
19. Pat Your Back
20. Chin Up Always!

I'm sure each of us have our ways, but these are just a few to add up to it!

Hot Tea

A cup of hot tea solves all problems. Here are my reasons,

1. With a book
2. With some savory
3. On a rainy day
4. With friends
5. Chai and Chat
6. Keeps the headache at bay
7. Warms the throat

And that is why I love Tea!

Sometimes.........

Sometimes... We wish we could go back in time.....

Sometimes..... We wish we could set things right the first time....

Sometimes.... We wish our first love was the best love.......

Sometimes......We wish we married the person we fell in love with......

Sometimes... Just Sometimes..... Maybe........

Make it Right

                      We always strive to make it right. But what happens when a second chance falls into our lap. Do we give it a chance? OR do we live in the past?

Not always do we get to make it right, not really. But if that same thing gets a second chance, then do we pick it up. Now that's an individual's choice and decision. 

Here are a few things,

1. Try to forget the past
2. Give it a fresh start
3. Listen to the other person with an open mind
4. Give it another chance
5. Think & decide


Make it Right the first time or Make it Right again, but bottom line is just make it right!

Overcoming Fear

           Some of us have fear. It can be anything. A fear stems out of some past experience, s few out of nowhere. But the choice is ours - whether we want to continue living with fears or we decide to tear the fear. 

Here are a few ways to overcome our fear,

1. Don't focus on it
2. Control your mind
3. Train your brain
4. Try to approach the fear, rather than running away from it
5. Face it always


If there is something that is needs to be addresses, take baby steps. One at a time and it will be overcome!

Dream Girl

      Dream Girl - I have been waiting to watch this movie since the time I watched it trailer. So, today I had to go watch this movie.

This movie was an absolute riot and I had an ache in my tummy. Loved Ayushmaan's acting. It was an entertainment. songs, I wasn't up for it barring the last song. Rest were alright.

Keep Your Mind - Busy

             Have we all wondered - How it feels to have an unoccupied mind? Of course yes! But, the mind has to be productive in a positive way. But, just think about it - When your mind is occupied, it's the best. It keeps all negative things at bay.

Here is a very true quote - People are happier when they are busy , because it prevents them from thinking of negative things in life. 

I find this quote to be so true. When one is busy, trust me, the mind has no space and time for negative things and over thinking things. 

So, Stay Busy, Stay Happy!

A New Book

          Every Single Year I await Jeffrey Archer's new book that releases. Indeed, this author is one of my favorite. Till last year, I used to await to read Clifton Chronicles. But that series ended last year. 

This year, I have the new book in hand - NOTHING VENTURED. I just started this book and I can't wait to embark upon this new journey. I will certainly post a review once done.

Till then, for all we fellow Archer book fans, go pick his new book that just released. Enjoy William Warwick!!

Is it all abs or there is more to it?

               Most of us like men who are sculpted and those bulky ones. I am one among them too. Who doesn't like a good looking man with a good physique.

But, is that all to it? No. Looks are no doubt important, but there are a few other checklists,

1. Chivalrous
2. Caring
3. Great Smile
4. Dimple, a definite bonus
5. Communicative
6. Loving
7. Fun
8. Adventurous
9. Honest
10. Loyal

And I am sure the list is endless, but do give it a thought!

A Different Experience

           From  a few days I have been meaning to try the quick ride. Today, I finally tried. It was a different experience altogether. 

I got onto the app and booked my ride. I waited and then my ride arrived. There was 4 people already and I was the 5th one. But I must say, it was not a problem at all. Even though I had to walk a little to get into, I was dropped off close to my place, so that was good.

My first experience was good and so I think I will try again.

A Flutter

     Sometimes, somethings happen in our life that make our heart flutter. Not sure if everyone observes it or even notices the flutter. But the feeling is good when this  happens.

Each one of have different things that make us feel good. We just need to know what that is that makes our heart flutter. So keep an open mind and you never know when that heart will flutter.

My Movie Review

      Last weekend I went to watch - Chhichhore. This was a movie that I wanted to watch but it didn't live up to my expectations. It's a mix of fun and not so much fun in the movie. 

The moral of this movie is to show that Engineering to a premier institute isn't the end of the road. But the dialogues in the movie are really hilarious and it is riot in between. Don't go with high expectations, but go and watch it.

A Beautiful Lunch

Yesterday, my friends and me went out for lunch. We went to - Coconut Grove. I have passed this place so many times but never been there. So yesterday we went there to have lunch. 

From the ambiance to the food, I fell in love with this place. The inside is so beautiful with Mangalore tiles and soothing greenery. The weather was great, it was drizzling. And, I must say the food was lovely. We had Coconut Water,  Appam, Vegetable Stew, Wheat Paratha, Veg Biryani and Raitha. I loved the food. It was yummy. 

We finished it off with a glass of hot tea. Something about the whole time spent there was a beautiful time. This lunch memory was special and it will always be a special one.

I will go back to Coconut Grove again for the food and ambiance!

At Our Core

                 All of us have Our Core Values. Our Core Values are what we firmly believe in. But how do we define them? And what happens when someone shakes those core values? 

Now these are questions that need to be addressed very carefully. One needs to dig deep within and know what the core values are. Dig deeper and one will always get to the core. When you know what your core is, always stick to it for life. 

And, if someone ever questions, disbelieves or questions one's core, please be aware. That is not something that can be shaken by anyone and if someone doesn't see it, then that is not good at all. Remember!

Two Way Street - Needs to be Compelling

                 A relationship should always, always be a two-way street. Don't you all agree? I don't think any relationship should feel a one way. 

Every relationship should be two way and it should not be made conditional. It should be a natural process that fits seamlessly and the couple should just feel right. But a relationship where one person is always worried about the other person's reciprocation and worry even more about the fit, that is a red flag. 

But, for a relationship to be successful, it has to be a two way street and that is how it should always feel. So for anyone who is stuck in a one way street, it definitely isn't a relationship and most definitely doesn't feel good to be in one like that. 

Next time, ensure it's a two way street that you wanna walk in. Isn't it??

One Rib Tickling Evening

            Sunday I went to this fun Comedy Show - The Improv and it was my first time there. Boy, I must say it was pretty hilarious. And, of course, I saw Danish Sait, Saad Khan, Darius and Radhika. Undoubtedly, I enjoyed the entire show. It was just hilarious. 

Danish and Darius were my absolute favorites. A good laugh for a little more than an hour was wonderful or should I say soulfully wonderful. 

I will go the next time around too. I mean why not? Laughter is the best medicine.
