So, today is Saturday, around 5:14 pm, and am one of those "Type A" personalities that strives and drives for perfection and efficiency. Life is about routine and getting things done in a timely and efficient manner--note the pharmacy career! I would be a hypocrit if I didn't acknowledge my own lack of stopping to "smell the roses". I realized just how busy my life was when I stopped at a grocery store one morning after a crazy month. I bought a coffee at the in-store Starbucks and soon found myself slowly walking the isles, sipping my coffee, and singing to the music playing on the speakers. I realized at that moment how precious simple moments are and how infrequently I stop to acknowledge them. Once I left the grocery store, I realized that the sky was blue, the sun was shining...I also discovered that I felt relaxed, calm, and at peace with myself and the moment. This blog is my way of capturing the Simple Pleasures of Life and acknowledging that life is more than perfection and efficiencies--it's about experiences and everlasting memories. am one of those "Type A" personalities that strives and drives for perfection and efficiency.

Changing every day!

Every day isa new day, hoping something interesting will happen. Something will change, change is constant and constancy itself embeds change in it. Not sure, whether this philosophy is in real life, but the reality is, that I wonder, what I was taught as a child, and am changing everyday as I learn to become an adult. Perspectives of my life has changed from what I was, when I moved to austin at 25. Believed in certain things, taht things have to be done in a certain way, life should move in a certain way. Making all A's was my goal, but when I had one defeat, I relalized, wow,how does that feel, a blow to self-esteem eh?

Not sure, why and how did that happen? Sometimes, it is hard to judge, what goes around you and why for what reason?? At 27 when i faced my own hardships, I learned to come out of it, and had to fix everything by myself. I wonder whether that makes me a stronger person or a weaker one?? When you are sheltered too much within the boundaries of families, and when you get scrwed around or maybe I should say, you trust someone and fall, it gets difficult day by day then,w hen all you do is put all your eggs in one basket, when you trust one person and that person is your world, but for that person, you are just a toy, maybe an object of display? When that person is not attached to you and you have given your life to that person, and that person takes you for granted??? Wonder how that feels like...

Sometimes, in life, willing to change for someone who really doesnt have the same reciprocation, it is amazing, how things happen, how life twists and turns. ha! Never knew what difficulties were, but when they came, how they say it pours when it rains, taht is what happened!

Living every day of my life trying to juggle wiht school, exams random thoughts, people around me, socialization, insecurities, finances, arggh... too much on the list to do and too less time!

Precious things in life

So, here I am in my late 20's am wondering what were the priceless things in my life so far?

1. The Indian Flag that I carried with me through High School and still ahve it with me.
2. One of my dolls that was gifted to me when I was a kid
3. Good memories from childhood, especially the times that I spent during my high school in India
4. My set of bangles that I have collected since I was 18 years old :)
5. My uncle
6. Salwar Kameez, the patiala salwar kameez, and silk saree
7. Volunteering for Association for India's Development
8. My Smile

What is this life full of care

As the lines by W.H.Davies go,
WHAT is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.



With hope and aspirations we come to this country called "amerika", and lose the warmth of family, far away, sometimes a loner, sometimes with a huge group of friends, as every day passes by, we are here in our circle of life, sometimes confused, sometimes steady, lots of uncertainties, but ever had a chance to smell the roses, to see the nature, to see what is happening around you?

Ever had a chance to do good for one person, to just live your life?

Who knows, :) I get to hear from my friends , Hey, I gotta run, hey, I gotta go, I am very busy, very busy, dont know what are we busy with, minting money, wearing brand name clothes, although living in this country for almost 9 years, I havent chased money. Trying to chase love, respect for humans, caring, be there for someone. Any thoughts on this??
