My Thoughts On Minimalism

"Minimalism is the constant art of editing you life" - Danny Dover An Image of a Bat from our Sri Lanka Trip Often, we come across posts or books that suggest a minimalist way of life. When we say we are living the minimalist life, what exactly are you in for? Somewhere mid-August last year, some things really hit me hard, two things to mention in particular, one that I was constantly feeling overwhelmed by the things I had to get done in a day and two I never felt any sense of satisfaction on most days even if I had done a great deal of work. I realized that the major reason I felt that way was because I was living a rushed life, constantly badgering myself to do more and more, which is not wrong when you aspire a productive day, but it got me thinking is that really productivity? In this fast paced life of ours, often we forget there is an expiry date, we forget that this race has to end some day, in those last days or last moments, I assume none of these ac...

Twenty Eighteen Is Here

Hello 2018,  I have never been so eager for a start of a new year since 2000! (Millennium and all) I hope you all had an amazingly wonderful festive period. I am all about the new beginnings and fresh starts which new year promises in a big way.

I just think I have adulted enough to start living my life in an incredible manner and don't give two hoots about things I have no control on! - pulling out the big guns here, I am a control freak, remember? I am not the resolution kinda gal, some short term goals an...

Dear Woman... You are Enough

Google Image There is a constant reminder we need to give ourselves that we are enough. We do not need anyone to berate us or elevate us just because we are women, to realize our worth. We women have this crazy habit of multi-tasking and trying to please everyone for a lil' appreciation, may be a nod or to feel important, we need to stop that and just enjoy to the fullest and believe we are enough.  We often feel guilty for not being the perfect daughter, perfect sister, perfect friend, perfect girlfriend, perfect wife, perfect daughter in law, perfect mom, perfect employee and so on. Who fed this thought to us that we are born to be masterpieces, we were born to play multiple roles and enjoy them and not to constantly compare and evaluate how well we are doing. Though, it is human nature to strive and be better versions of ourselves each day - there is still no hard and fast rule that we ought to be perfect. We are perfect in our own uniqueness and we are doing...
