True story :)

-

In the fall of 2011 (ok today ;) ), I was hunting for a top that I had to wear for (say, "an upcoming event"). After trying almost a dozen of them, I started feeling that I've grown so fat, and can't fit into anything. In spite of making so many efforts to loose weight, it was all a waste.

This self condemn lasted for few minutes until I found the one which was a perfect fit. And that very moment, I felt ... this is the one!

The only quote that stuck me at that moment was 'Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing it's stupid.'

Very petty thing, but I don't know how many times I end up condemning myself for being unfit, when the fact is that I wasn't meant to fit there. But, I'll get to that some other time ;)



PS: Yessssssss, HIMYM is taking over me ;)

SNAKES & LADDERS!

-
Sudden realisation. Isn't life very much similar to snakes and ladders game? When something good happens, the ladder of success takes us to the top, and in another moment, a snake bite can bring us down - right at square one. But, you never know which phase of life has a snake/ladder waiting for you.. Even when we are happy, there is a fear of the landing up on the block where longest snake is waiting to destroy everything in a moment, and that we will have to start from the scratch! :S We do get up and dream again, even if we just had a major fall. There is chase. A lot of Competition. Of course, peer-pressure too.  But, only limited time! Sigh. I guess this is the beauty of this game.  There is an excitement at every step. A hope as we move from block to block. A prayer for desired number on every roll of dice. Yes, there are snakes. But, there are ladders as well :D

Behind the frame..

It's almost been a month since I am seeing this world from a frame (literally). Being a thinker, it triggered different thoughts and funny experiences that I am sharing here... 1. So, the very first time you wear spects, there is an 'ackward feeling'. For me, the definition of ackwardness was hilarious, confusing and 'thoughtful' questions :P  I'll give you some examples, '' Is it normal for your eyelashes to touch the glass?'', ''How do you see things that are above or below your frame?'' 2. Well, there's more to it.. The very first week of wearing spects is all about adjustment - for you, and for the people around (seeing a new 'you'). But for me, not many people were able to notice my new look as they assumed I have always been wearing the spects. :O 3. Then comes a stage when you are finding your "comfort time'' with glasses. You don't know if you can see better with glasses on, or g

Goosebumps & crankiness: Blame the food!

I always describe myself as a moody person. I can be extremely happy in one moment, and super depressed later. Recently, I subscribed to few health feeds, and came across some very interesting articles. Next time you're angry, think about the  food choices you made today.  ( At least I know what to blame next time :P) Your favorite cup of coffee is controlling your mood ? (Well, I just named my blog 'Coffee & Karma and now it has a DEEPER meaning ;) )  Tomatoes , which have excellent health benefits, can make you angry too?  Even wheat & diary products (if not digested properly) can affect the brain function.   It's interesting that it takes  20 minutes for your brain to know you're overeating ? (Yes, that long!!) Photo Courtesy:  Blog Sidenote: I recently got to know about this new cool website http://healthifyme.com/ . If you really really want to eat healthy and loose/gain weight, aaaand you're fond of Indian food, this is the best websit
