A month that was ......

Image
People usually mistake being busy with being productive. I personally thought people who looked busy were probably the most productive ones. However, I have a different view on this now, being busy doesn't necessarily mean one is being productive. I realize, that productivity has absolutely nothing to do with how much you do, it has everything to do with how much you accomplish. I had this one long month, a really busy one, where I had to lengthen my working hours, compromise family and fun times, sacrifice my sleep, let go of things of my interest and much more. At the end of the month, I realize I actually couldn't accomplish anything, I couldn't meet the deadlines, I couldn't meet people I had to, I had not held discussions, I hadn't prepared a good report. My busy month turned out to be quite unproductive, even for my personal development and my personal relations. The whole month, I wrote my diary the next day in office, where I used to forget many of ...

10 Lessons I learnt from a STRANGER

Image
One lazy Sunday morning, I was laying idle with nothing to do, I had just completed a book and had no new one to read. The rain had just stopped after continuously pouring the whole night, the sun had risen. I opened the curtain and looked out of the window, I could see little children crying, their elder brothers/sister playing, their mothers doing laundry, their fathers playing archery, some other ladies dancing and cheering them up. As I still laid down watching them, all with beautiful smiles, I wondered what these people were thinking, what they were going through, their dreams, their hopes, their life purposes and expectations. The night before I had just thought about my own, had got a little frustrated, a little worried, a little excited, feeling luckier compared to the disadvantaged people at the same time unluckier compared to the advantaged ones. I woke up, went to the wash room, made myself a cup of tea and turned on the Television to check if there was anything inter...

Travelling tips ;)

It is always a great idea to travel light so you can be comfortable and at ease. What to carry and what not to carry really depends on the type of holiday/visit you are planning, the destination, climate and the duration.  I have prepared a quick list of essentials to carry, to help you to have a wonderful trip ;) 1.    Travel Documents: The first things to put in your baggage are your travel documents, the passport, visa (if required) and flight tickets. It is always mindful to carry a city map and the address of the place you are visiting if you are visiting the place for the first time. If you are on a business trip, make sure your laptop or the drives are packed in case you need to make a presentation or write a report. You have an additional advantage of it though, you can watch movies if you are bored or too tired to go out. Pack up the chargers too.   It would be wise to carry extra passport size photos, you never know when you ...

Photo Credit ~ Google Friendship is one of the most beautiful things in the world. In life, you meet many special friends, friends who change your life just by being a part of it, friends who make you laugh until you can't stop, friends who are there when the world seem dark and empty, friends who make you believe that you are just very special. The two special people I am going to talk about here are not amongst those friends whom I met through my life’s journey, not just special friends but much more than that. We were destined to be together anyhow. God wanted us to be there for each other anyway.  These are the two special people I share my home with, live with every day, sleep with, eat with and yet I never get enough of them. They are the frequent commenter (s) on my blog, my readers who encourage me every time with their thumbs up. ;) Thank you. Cheers to us ;) Let me introduce them to you first. One of them is a cousin, her name is Tashi. She ...

My ‘30 before 30’ List:

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring -  DavidBowie  ;) While I am so much in love with my life in many ways, there are still things that are not  where I want them to be. I will turn 30 on October 8, 2016; I still have 1 year and 10 months  long time to actually accomplish these 30 things I have noted down here. I have no idea how  easy or difficult they might be, but I am su per excited already ;): 1.    Publish at least 72 Articles on my Blog (which would mean an average of 2 Articles in a  month), of which at least 35 Articles would be Self Help Articles which would make some  difference in the readers’ life in some way (Posted 38 Articles as of 08/10/201 6 );  which is sad indeed :(  i just got too busy last one year (Not an excuse though): This will be continued seriously and wholeheartedly! 2.     Make Self Care a Priority;   I did...
