Discovering positivity !

 Discovering happiness is a thing. Discovering positivity is a choice. Digital transformation has led to more number of depression amongst all ages where the day begins & ends with a cell phone. Little do we realise that with technology we are easing so well into a sedentary lifestyle giving no importance to health or self care. Little do we know we are becoming weaker physically, emotionally &mentally. 

Positivity was not my thing. Failures did scare me but the next step was always tough. Technology is an addiction and it did keep me handcuffed. All I knew was FB feeds or Instareels could help forget any prob and divert road to happiness. Reality stuck hard & came a day where I was forced to take life decisions more serious. 

The very first I noticed was the lack of positivity. And building positivity was a choice . Either I had to go the hard way to a better self or cry spilt milk all day long. I decided on the former . Changing the perspective of seeing things, ignoring negativity and moving forward is never a piece of cake. But today I choose.I choose to be a step closer to positivity than I was yesterday. After all it’s one life, why not see the beautiful side of it ?

When it Rains,it Pours 🌧

Gloomy clouds delight me. The darkness that engulfs the sky and the whiff of the rain drops on soil sets alight a feeling of quietness within. The gentle breeze then fiercely announces a huge shower with a gust of wind and a steak of lightening. I look in awe, watching the gloominess engulf daylight and shield away all landscapes in sight. Downpours connect me with the inner child and kindle a zillion memories. As a little girl there was a hymn we sung in chapels “There shall be showers of blessings, this is the promise of god”. This song so well connects me with rain every time it pours . And the inner self is bound to believe that these showers are truly gods way of sending blessing down to earth.  Years down the line, I no longer let myself get drenched in the happiness the showers hold, rather enjoy the droplets that kiss me through my window pane. There could be no better therapy that leaning by my window and allowing myself to relax midst the downpour and the earthly smell. A...

Till we see again..

 Adieu Singapore. Till we see again …  Young and naive, a newly married me flew to Singapore. Little did I know this country would hold a deep etched place in my heart forever. 11 years and it seems as if just a day has passed and memories remain so fresh within.  The first time I saw a country so well kept and attractions that well meant it’s meaning. A city full of architectural wonders and multi cultural environments was a sight to me. The well lit streets of Little India and Chinatown during festive days are crowd pleasers with their striking sights and luscious food displays. Seeing the birds and animals not so in captive or enclosed within cages made me stare in awe. Years down and I still enjoy my every visit to the Jurong Bird Park and the zoo where I had many “first time experiences”. Vultures swooping down and perching on my hands to seeing penguins swim  into ice closures right before my eyes are memories engraved for life. The Merlion mesmerises one and a...

Nomad scrawls

I celebrate a “decade” of being an NRI. In fact a little more than a decade. We are the modern nomads. 11years and seen four countries. We travel, travel and travel all year round. Round trips only mean home land visits so often,I lost count.  The NRI tag that seems so glossy and luxurious on the outside, seems too cramped on the inside. The perks are good and exchanges rates are awesome,but there’s a lot more to than just that. The packing and unpacking, the cost of living ,non existent hands to lend a helping hand and the peek of loneliness and anguish every fortnight.  Singapore being a call away from India was the cherry on the cake . A 4 hour flight and we set foot on Indian soil. How good is that ? The initial years of NRI life was filled with round trips and all of them were to and from India. And return baggage always exceeded the allowed and we had to buy additional luggage space. We have evolved over the years and life has taught us much to still grumble and mumble ....
