Make your own Magic!

We all go through phases when life gets tough and looking for bright spots or silver linings feels harder than usual. If I am feeling particularly lost and exhausted, and nothing seems to help, I abandon all efforts to make massive changes in my life and instead pour my attention into the tiniest of activities that make me happy. Moon gazing, watching reruns of FRIENDS on TV, hot coffee and cake for breakfast, reading in my garden, rearranging my room or just cuddling with my puppy!

Dream, Plan, Do…..And Let Go!

Happy 2023 to my readers – both old and new! There is something about the start of a new year which infuses fresh energy and rigor into our dreams, goals and resolutions. Technically it is just a date change on the calendar, but still we party on the 31st and then magically start eating healthy and working out from the 1st (or atleast I do!).  I was thinking about my 2023 resolutions while binge watching Younger (a TV series I love) when the character of Diana Trout dropped this gem of a quote in Season 6 (watch a clip here): …

Hello 2016!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2016 brings us many shiny, happy, bright and beautiful moments. I am grateful for 2015, it gave me some spectacular memories. Somehow, when I look back and reflect, I can only remember the things which went well, or the learning’s from what didn’t work out. So 2015 will always be special – for all the traveling, meeting kind strangers, spontaneous decisions, train rides, playing tourist in my own city, evenings out with friends, discovering Spotify and Zumba, re-discovering Yoga, for Google, for my old team (and the new one), participating in a leadership program, mixing cocktails, shooting a movie, juice cleanses and my blog! Time flew really quickly…
