A year ago, a page in my diary reads “I am an officially declared TB free woman now” in bold with a wink, which I had later painted with a pink highlighter to mark this day of freedom every year, if not at least till I forget the pain. It was January 25 last year (2013), I remember how happy and relaxed I was, after completing my TB medication of 6 months. The moment was truly a proud moment for me, an emotion I had not felt even after passing the toughest papers in exam and more importantly, it was a relief for my family and friends who had genuinely worried for me. I felt more pleased to have gone through such pain and having come out of it as a stronger and a healthier person. I remember jumping three times in the hospital car parking and proudly recollecting what the doctor had just said. She said, my chest X ray displayed no infections and neither did my other tests show any remains of the dreadful disease, but the most exciting of all was that I had put on 7.5 Kgs extra weight....

Photo Credit ~ Google I read somewhere that New Year’s Eve should be seen as a time of rebirth, the chance to start new.   We all have something we would like to do better, whether it’s a desire to be more active, less messy, more creative or less attached to things/people.   I found the statement very true. As always, I have listed down my resolutions to be the change I want to see :) : My New Year resolutions for 2014 are: Photo Credit ~ Google 1. To start a Blog: Completed ;) I am an owner of a blog, 'Lets Grow Together' (wink wink) 2.     Stop Complaining over small things and practice Gratitude alway s I did awesome this year in terms of  gratitude, this could be one reasons why I felt 2014 was one of the happiest years I lived except for the demise of my beloved grandfather.  I have a gratitude journal to update what i am grateful for every day.

I was so disappointed when I had this terrible sore throat after making such a fabulous plan for the weekend. I was literally overjoyed when my sister’s friend, Pema invited us for an herbal stone bath at her place, Drukgyel, a beautiful settlement in the outskirts of Paro. I have very fond memories of Paro, a place I had spent most of my childhood days. Paro is a beautiful and a peaceful town in the western part of Bhutan. As the country’s only international airport is located there, the town is usually full of tourists and handicraft shops. Besides, my parents lived there for more than 15 years, a place where they had seen their children grow from kids to teenagers and then as adults. I lived there a little lesser though but vacations were always awesome. My heart ached whenever my sister told Pema that she is afraid that we may not be able to come to her place this weekend. Pema is a very sweet girl whom I know since she was a kid. She was one of my sister’s best friends since k...

Besides celebrations, Birthdays for me have always been a time to note down my performance in the previous year and set goals for my coming year. A year older means a year lesser to live which means lesser time to learn and progress in life. I have always had this urge to learn more and be a better version of myself. I have always compared myself with the kind of person I was last year and have appreciated all the improvements I have made. I agree I have lost myself sometimes, got busy with stuffs and failed to fulfill my resolutions and have not learnt anything and grown (at all) in a year though I have noted my birthday resolutions every year. However, this year’s going to be a different one. I am noting down my resolution on my blog because I want to make sure I fulfill all of them. I feel like noting them down publicly will make me work harder.  Review in Red (November 18, 2014); Those Stroke off are succ...
