Take charge of your life


In day to day hustle and bustle, we tend to forget the basics of life.

Hope the following enlightens you..

Do you know why the earth is shaped like a globe? So you can kick it and it will roll away! the moment you wake up in the morning you are always with people and your mind is caught up in worldly thoughts. So sometime during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. But as soon as you open your eyes, hold onto the ball because you need to kick it again in the next session. During the day be 100 percent attached to the work, don't try to detach yourself. But when you sit for meditation, then totally detach yourself. Only those who can totally detach can take total responsibility. Eventually you will be able to be both attached and detached simultaneously. Kick the ball and be in the goal! This is the art of living, the skill of living. Source: Forward in my email in box.

Moving Ahead


Here I am, listening to the song "Shoot The Moon" from Norah Jones's album "Come away with me". Its Sunday 11 PM. A relatively small week is ahead, as long weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) is coming. Had a good relaxed Sunday. Watched a Malayalam movie " Puthiya Mukham" with subtitle along with hubby. Had noodles for lunch. Took a sweet nap in afternoon. Had Theplaa for dinner. Everything around looks good good to me.

Its been over 5 months since I got married. Life after marriage has changed a lot. But I am liking this life as well. This is because of the freedom I am getting to live life on my terms. My in-laws (Mother-in-law, Sister- in - law and Father-in-law) are really cool. I am really lucky to have them. I have full support of my Mother-in-law, so I feel as if I am home.

In professional life, I have joined a HR Consultancy company as Consultant HR and Selection.
There as well, I enjoy the freedom of designing my role and work. Every day is a new challenge. And I am excited about it. My Manager is a cool person. My colleagues are also very sweet.

And my sweetheart , my hubby is the sweetest of all because of whom I am enjoying each and every moment of my life.

As of now thats it.. Am moving ahead and am happy . :) :)
