Being Me



Good morning!!

Yet another Saturday AM blog. Today is the day of introspection, reflection, and contemplation.

I am grateful to almighty for each and every blessing that has been showered on me and on my family. 

Today is also the day of completing one year of committing to active blogging and publishing the post every Saturday. I have tete-a-tete received so many comments and compliments for being a consistent writer and blogger with promising blessings that I am doing a good job. It certainly feels good. Thank you so much for your fortunate words, impelling comments, and thrilling compliments.

I recollect the exact moment when my fussy mind and vibrant soul required “something” more to do and I contacted my Professor to involve me in anything creative and productive. I pleaded with her to provide me with anything to do. 

This does not imply that I do not have a life or have lesser things to do. I am a full-time mother, a full-time homemaker, a full-time HR professional of a reputed organization, and an insatiable reader of books but along with this, I am also a super-sensitive and super-active full-time human being. There is invariably a constant desire to do “something more”. 

So, my professor (who has known me since my post-graduation days and my habit of thinking...rather over-thinking!!) instantly recommended to embark on the journey of blogging and pouring out the thoughts into the form of words. And I followed her verdict and here we are… I am eternally grateful to her for her direction. To know my professor and the leading entrepreneur you can visit her site (https://youtube.com/c/AnitaSharma_0810)

From a range of numerous types of experiences, if I have to quickly glance at my favorite one, that would be the magic of the “slowness” of life experience amid the “quickness” of passing time. I started running marathons, writing papers and case studies, and daily growing as a mother and professional …the more I do, I feel there is so much scope for doing further.

My “commendable achievement” is still not achieved. Because the meaning of “commendable achievement” in my definition is becoming the better version of my old self and continuing the process till the last day.

At this early hour of 30th October 2021 (time- 4:30:54), the calling of the beautiful wintery weather outside is now interrupting me from writing anything more. Will see you next Saturday(s) with upcoming book reviews and sharing of other life experiences and awaiting your thoughts and comments on the blog posts to come.

Happy Birthday to me.

Who is She?

She Disclaimer- This post is a modest pour-out of sensitivities or rather it is my way of introspection, after hearing numerous elements of violence on women as circulated in various media platforms. We often feel proud in saying that "we have changed as a society and are now more human", but is it so? She is strong. She is empowered. She is a Devi. She is the centrifugal point of the world. These sayings are some of the stinging satire of our so-called modern society. Many say She has been liberated … from whom . She has been freed … from which conservators . She has been permitted to tell her mind … although her spoken words directly filter out from their ego . And yes, she has been allowed to wear anything … with a big BUT involved. She is a day-to-day companion in the community. She can be seen administering home and kids, running in offices, standing tall in politics, cooking quietly in the kitchen, driving hard with a focus in mind. She is present anywhere and everywhe

  Changes are part of life. Being part of transferable jobs, relocation between places is typical. I have trained myself to prepare for these sudden, unexpected, and unwelcome changes, but whatever the mindset, the changes are self-draining. It may sound easy, but relocation is a challenging thing to do. On the one hand, it is emotionally, physically, and financially draining, but on the other hand, it might provide a fresh perspective towards the “ boring ” life. This blog post is the mini-version-saga of the latest relocation my family and I underwent. I just got transferred to the new location. A location that is quite a contrast to the life I have been living for the past 13 years, and the change is overwhelming. The quest of being “lost and found” is most potent and simultaneously appealing.  Somebody once told me that transfers are an opportunity to reset and revise the current lifestyle. It is a chance to put all planning mode ideas into action. For me, the previous transfer br

Self-Story 2023

To put things in honesty, this past year, I have moved from not-required-things-&-people. However, in this journey of “freedom from” and still walking towards “my freedom to” , there are many self-unique emotional and spiritual learnings and reflections. Here is the gist of those- 1. From the arrogance of knowing it all to the humble appreciation of what I know and acknowledgement that much is to be learned or requires further reading or meditation. 2. From “talking at each other” to “talking with each other” to understand others and be understood. 3. From being happy to becoming content . I remain open to receiving the magic of life and thus remain flexible to go with the flow. Now, I realise that unconditional love resides in each of us, but enabling it to be felt by ourselves and conveyed to others requires an inner spiritual awakening first. 4. From being a spouse to being a soulmate and friend . I am grateful to nature for giving me joyful and lovely accompanime
