Let them be

I am a control freak! Yeah. I like certain things to be done certain way & I push people(a little) to do it that way(a.k.a my way) & I give advice to others not to push their friends/kids. What a hypocrisy!

Well! I am not a bad person. I don't want people to do things my way just because I want them to follow my orders, but more because, I think I tend to trust others less than myself.

I like my vessels to be in their places, checks deposited on time, Mail-In-Rebates posted on time, clothes in place & worst of it all, I expect all of them to be done just as I am thinking of them, as in, NOW!!! I think that is where the problem is.*sigh*
If I place myself in other's shoes, I doubt if I can take my own wishes.

I strongly do not believe in New Year resolutions. If I decide not to do something, I will make an honest attempt not to do it.
So, here I am, making a conscious attempt to put this habit behind me.

I am going to still be clean; just planning to give the other person some time & space to do things. Else what? I can do it myself, with happiness.*yay*

    > I like certain things to be done certain way

    - i think this particular thing is with almost everyone... where u differ is when u push ppl to do it your way... even that is prevalent with so many, just that the degree of push varies..

    Gud luck with getting rid of that.

    Chakra: Thank you. Looking good so far :)
    Vidya: When people around you are being so good, you kind of start thinking, "maybe I should change". Something like that;)

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

Two Books, One Author

Is it possible to die gracefully? One author, Mitch Albom masterfully demonstrates that it is, through the poignant narratives of the individuals in his two remarkable works. My journey began with Finding Chika , which subsequently guided me to its spiritual predecessor, Tuesdays with Morrie . While Finding Chika overwhelmed me with deeply touching emotions, Tuesdays with Morrie evoked a sense of homecoming. One person’s life can serve as a profound lesson for another. We often remain oblivious to the myriad experiences encapsulated within the lives of others. These two books have enriched my life immeasurably, awakening within me a deep appreciation for the abundance I possess in the present moment. A book can offer a unique portal into the mind of its author. Albom’s perspective is, at its core, one of acceptance—an acknowledgment of human fallibility, the pursuit of truth, and the transformative power of life’s lessons. To err, to confront truth and allow it to reshape your existe...
