Live In The Present

Image
If your body is in present, and your mind is in past, it's like driving a car while looking back. You know where you have been but you don't know where you are going and of course, there are chances of bumping into something as well.  Dun Laoghaire, Dublin

Run Ends. Running Doesn't.

When your body argues that there is no justifiable reason to continue... your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic. :) --- "Come on, your medal is waiting..". I could hear some teenagers cheering me up, and I could see the finish line close to the the green ambulance. Beyond that, every detail was hazy.  In spite of my legs wanting me to just stop,  I continued running till I actually realized that I made it. The feeling cannot be described into words. :)  Running pumps adrenaline and endorphins into the blood. When you run with all you have, it feels you're leaving every fear, tension & pain behind with every new step you take. And somehow, your body musters up courage to continue.  ----

Two Left Feet :D

This picture amuses so much cos I can actually see myself fitting into that girl in white t-shirt who is figuring out the nuances of aerobics, and is totally out of sync. Early thoughts: Trying to exactly mirror someone's steps (when you're constantly wondering why left first and not right) is a fun experience. Brining the left foot, hand, legs, fingers etc in action. Repeating the same steps on left side which you just did on right, makes you feel this part of the body is not controlled by mind.  Watching yourself dance in the mirror is an awesome feeling :D   Remembering the choreography part sucks!

The joy of sending that your very first email is priceless!

Goosebumps & crankiness: Blame the food!

Image
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 t...

Buttons & Scissors

It's interesting when you are looking for answers, you'll find them knocking your door in the most unexpected form. I must say the game inspired me, and helped me pacify as I was surrounded by endless questions about future. It taught me to not worry about consequences yet have a small plan for future without losing the focus from present.  When you start with the game, the motive is to draw horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines on same buttons (any number), and a scissor will run over them to clear them out.   While doing this, it may look kind of impossible to get all of them cleared out because the blue ones are really scattered or stuck between yellow ones and there is no way we can get them out anyway. But, if you focus on the ones you are crossing out, and keep in mind that you cannot cross 3 pink buttons and leave 1 pink button alone because you need to have at least pair of 2 to draw a line and cross them out.  Just this small strategy, and ...
