Hello guys!!!!!!!!

I had this really LONG break from blogosphere. Partly it was intentional and partly it was not.I just wanted to taste the mundane activities of daily life more deeply and engage myself in a sedentary yet days filled with run-of-the-mill chores. Chores that kept me occupied or simply dazed into thoughts.


Sometimes it takes time to adapt ,right? I had exams. I am still awaiting my results. And...let me tell you..it's kinda SCARY. And other personal turmoil . Say,I was in a bit of emotional unrest? Blogging is awesome. But I needed time only for myself and regain my spiritual connect. I needed a spirituality check!That counts for me. It keeps me sane. And keeps me at peace.


I've been reading Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns. So I am virtually in Afghanistan now.I also read Norma Khouri's Forbidden Love and was baffled when I found out the author had miffed the entire world with her apparent falsity or dearth of truth in her story. However,I loved the book. 


I read books than transport me completely to alien places so I get to visualize and connect with their kinda world;The characters in the plot, I mean. I loved Dalia and Norma' s friendship. In a way ,I was envious. Because,tell me, who today is being such thick friends with one another? They say "keep your friends close and enemies closer". But what if you don't know to differentiate one from another? What age are we living in? We are so digitally and technologically screwed up! 
I loved the way Dalia did and also cried when she departed. Uuuuuuuuuufffffff....I get so emotionally attached to these characters that it almost feels like they were my camaraderie.

I'll sign off leaving you with a few lingering thoughts. From the last many months ,oops ,I mean 2 months..I have been figuring out the importance of INTENTIONS! And how they impact us and the people around us. And I've learned tremendously from the result born out of POSITIVE INTENTIONS. Even when negative thoughts fluttered through my mind, I weeded them out and brought in a curtain of serene thoughts of forbearance and happiness and love. It really is the spiritual therapy I gave myself. 

Are you giving yourself a good dose of that,lately? :)


cya!
Have an awesome day ahead!! :)
Lotsa love.

Pamper Thyself

{This is a simple google image yet loved it too much to share!}

Ever thought about pampering yourself? Self indulgence is a lovely treat to you-mindwise,body wise and soul-wise. Look around you, you find beauty parlours at almost every corner of the street or a spa at almost every crossing street. Also ,in the recent years there has been a wide frenzy over how one looks and how one styles himself/herself.Yes,they overdo it.However look at the positive side of it.. Is treating yourself really that bad?




Yes,crossing the line is not advisable.So what exactly does "crossing the line" mean.Simply that one needn't go to the wild extent of doing a nose job just to have a better nasal sound in her voice. Ah..my indian audience should know whom I'm talking about *wink*wink*. But pampering yourself is great! The word pampering itself creates waves of optimism. But that nasal thingy,I think that goes right under "spoiling thyself" category.


Here are some obvious ways you'd like pampering yourself!


Body pampering 
1)Go for long walks every morning! Really helps the blood circulating generously all over your body.
2)Go for your regular regime of parlour vistits( I know how women feel everytime they get a new haircut.The happiness just glows all over their faces! I'm not yet sure about guys.)
3) Hit the spa once in three months or anytime you wish. Thai massages are supposed to be the world's renowned massage technique! So make that nearest spa your second home! 
4)Change hairstyles or haircolor. Did you know that hair-do/hair color determines the kind of person you are? Interesting ,ain't it? Go get that flaming red hair and your lovely mane gorgeously layered! It's Upto you.
5)Keep changing your wardrobe.The same wardrobe filled with the same clothes ,same colors cites a melancholic life and maybe you could pep up your wardrobe today?


Mind-wise/Soul-wise pampering
This is the most important part. The better your mind is set and free of clutter ,your soul sings with joy! So your soul-pampering depends on your mind pampering.

Whenever you are in doubt regarding what somebody did to you was mean or whatever- Clarify,go up and confront the person or if you are not comfortable with the confronting session just sit tight and practise patience! Just bring your mind to PEACE.And your soul will rejoice!
And for those with subtle souls ,MEDITATE.It's a real breather.For those who don't find the need to meditate,simply go jogging/play with your pet/talk to somebody you can just unwind yourself to,at any given situation.




So guys,Thanks for following me through uptil here.Now comes the actual beat! 
Always remember : When your mind is rightly pampered ,so is your soul and eventually so will be your body. How one moulds oneself , indulging in loving oneself and believing in oneself follows the way you pamper your mind , soul and your body.


The order you pamper yourself in:


1.Mind 2.Soul 3.Body


Before bidding adieu,just a mention about how one should never forget the lines blurring between spoiling oneself and pampering oneself today.
Always,Keep your head on your shoulders and Set your heart in the right place. I'm sure you will never fail yourself!

Patience Personified

Patience is the companion of Wisdom . -St.Augustin.


What do you think about patience? Isn't it another manifestation of love? I believe so. Patience has played a very crazy role in my life. Simply because I never thought I'd be those types.Being patient was an ordeal for me. Meaning,patience was never a word in my dictionary. It was traumatic to face the even disastrous consequences of it. Here are the reasons why;


1)It was hurting people around me.
2)Being a conscience driven person,I used to feel hopelessly miserable.

When I read about The Secret;The awakening began.And I couldn't think of perfecting myself in a more perfect situation of my life! I kept attracting thoughts on being quiet when people did /said things I didn't like. And not only the book , there were other positive
attributes new to my life that had this tremendous effect. Mom almost gave up, rebuking me for being so agressively impatient. 


Truth is...
1) You are ruining everybody's happiness around you by being a pest like that.
2)Your own peace of mind is lost. 


So,I always say a silent prayer for patience before hitting the bed. Because,lately I've experienced how rewarding it is when you are patient with people.It not only saves you of trouble but also helps people breathe. Giving them all the time they need to fit into that square of your expectation.


Also,I wanted to mention that, I never even wanted to post this in the first place for fear that
people would judge me. It so happens, I don't care about what anybody talks about me
behind my back or on my face regarding what I've become now or how I've changed.Because, I diligently visualised this change and it happened. And this I've acquired with a lot of
pain.Believe me , it's not so easy to go against the grain! It is arduous. It's like taming a wild
animal.It has it's baggage of tears, prayers and more. But when you've achieved it,There's
nothing like it,it feels you are on top of the world.,you feel like a halogen balloon floating in
mid air! I'm already receiving my gifts of patience.And the feeling is overwhelming. But I also
know , the sustenance is the most vital part. However, I know that I'll never let ME down. 


Gifts of love,again!
