Omg! I love this one. No matter how intense my mood is, listening to some my favourite Bollywood songs, or even John Legend and Enrique for that matter puts me back to my feet! ITS MAGIC!

Wohoo!! Some olive oil, some lettuce chopping, shaking some S and P, and voilà! I am Rachel Ray! If you want more action, would you dare to be Chef Ramsay!!!!

• Kids!

I love kids and having them around! My nephew and niece always comes home and they love interacting with me! Their energy is something I always try to translate because its just so enthusiastic, curious and fun loving. Sometimes they laugh for no reason and that can quickly fix up my mood!

• Videos

Be it Superwoman, animation favourites or Series like Friends, HIMYM, or Modern Family! See them and feel awesome!

• Walking

This is awesome! Because sometimes, you just need to be alone, maybe just to shed some tears, or maybe you could walk with someone and keep talking your mind off and clear it! Yes CLEAR OUT THE JUNK THAT'S IN YOUR HEAD! Don't ever ever bottle it up! Walking just makes it easier to talk and you necessarily don't have to look at the other person's face.

• Just punch something NON- LIVING, I REPEAT- N O N -  L I V I N G

Yes thats just the best way to relieve angry, The best thing to punch is your mattress, Count till 1 to 10 like too many times and then dance , you know that weird Chandler , Monica victory dance! Trust me, you feel good! Happy by Pharell Williams is also a good option.

Trust me you will forget why you were upset, angry or just mood off! The best way is to just look at a mirror and start laughing! The expressions you make will give you the necessary momentum that will continue your laugh! Plus its infectious, so others around you might consider you plain mad but they will join you! It can do wonders!

I am winding up for now but do let me know what life hacks you do to set your mood straight!

INSPIRATION

Hi Folks!!

Have you aspired to do something really cool! Something that you could publish ! (Well here comes my exclamation marks) Something that you could show the world! Well I did! I am not sure how many of you relate to me but here goes my experience!

I have always wanted to do something and to be precise all sorts of things (too much irony huh!). I wanted to be a book writer once, wanted to be a forensic specialist once! wanted to build some DIY projects! I have researched like a trillion times on all these, started a few, but either I discontinued it after my first attempt or I don't really know what happened after surfing all the gazillion awesome things to do found on net!

Well now I have a degree in Architecture (almost ... will be there in a year) but for starters I never sketched and I am not sure how I went about the entire SKETCHING process in architecture!
I have improved but still I do not consider myself to be the master sketcher as my super talented friends.

But somehow I have many crazy ideas in my head since childhood which I  dream to make a reality. And today maybe or maybe not (but most likely maybe) I came up with something that is truly inspiring to me and something that I enjoyed doing. This morning I was actually having no mood whatsoever to post today as I was totally uninspired. Sitting in the office as an intern waiting for work to flow in, I surfed sites to get hold of some inspiration and alas, something combined from the past and present, I realised I cannot sketch neatly for sure. I love scribbling and recently I came across a post about an artist mom converting her 2 year olds scribbles into breathtaking possibilities.
Disclaimer: Don't expect me to be super as that super mom!
So today in my little green notebook that my friend gifted me , I sat scribbling random scribbles into the pages and guess what, I came up with something that I enjoyed!

From those scribbles, I blurred my vision (by looking weirdly at my scribbles) and brought out some stories to life.. Its just like looking at clouds and imaging things.

Below I have attached 2 of these artworks I just did today!

It might not be a masterpiece but It actually brought a smile on my uninspired heart today and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it!

This one I name it as "What if we were the monsters"?

 And this one I name as, The girl, The waves and the lonely boatman!

I feel stories forming in my art and I absolutely love the fact that it combines 2 of the many favourite things I love! Art and Stories from art!

In short today what I realised is that art is when you find yourself in it. Your art will be always be unique just like your fingerprint!

So start getting inspired! Leave any comments and suggestions!
Bye for now!

WRITE YOUR STORY!

Hello everyone!! I was really busy this week! Phew! An Architect's Life! But really interesting though!

But today I really got something that I want to write about and hence this post!

Today let's talk about relationships! It could be anything! As human, whether we like it or not, we all are dependant on each other connected by relations and that's what makes us human! (Sorry for all the exclamation marks! hehe ) 

Today lets take the time to cherish all the relationships we  have, let's think about all the numerous happy memories joined with it and lets think and question why did we let those bitter moments invade those relations. 

Haven't we all heard that life isn't a bed of roses. Well then why do we act as if haven't ever heard of this proverb when we literally face life. So if those super awesome fairy tales are the reason, then you are missing the important part of the fairytale. In order to make it a fairytale, the hero and the heroine or the couple or the sister, or the father and son have to go through a lot of obstacles before the happy ending. Its not that the fairy tale starts with a happy beginning or continues to be happy middle. Its how these characters handle the situations that makes the fairytale that we see. 

Well then why can't you do the same. I will never say that life can't be a fairytale but I would rather say we have the power to make it into a fairytale,

Its simple. God has given each of us a story line. One of us is a Cinderalla, one of us a Snow White and one of us is Simba! Now the pens in your hand! You got to write your story! God just fills the ink and gives you the pen ! So don't you want to write your story ! 

Imagine when you have this much power, what all you can do.. Choose the best happy ending for you. Colour your life -translating it to normal homosapien language. 

• Always smile because that's a curve you can draw that will set everything straight.
• Always be happy because that's an emotion you can paint your life with and one that noone else can 
• Always learn to be patient like Cinderella, determined like Simba, to appreciate little things like Snow White, to chase your dreams like Kung fu Panda.
• Never be the reason to create an irritating moment on your life
• think before you act, speak or judge
• Love, love an LOVE! Show some love , give some love and spread your charisma
• Think about those moments in life which you could have handled better.

Theres so much to write but so little time for now.'And if I tell you everything, the emotion  of life might go... So your lovely ladies and handsome men, go write your life and share any interesting twists that have happened in your life , twists that you made, twists that changed you into a better person.

Also share any comments for this post and suggestions for my next post.

Well then! So long mate!

LOVE THY OFFSPRING!

What's happening to this world! I mean, look at our children! Affixing their eyes on gadgets and that too without a break, just plain continuous, they walk like zombies holding these things, not knowing the locations changing, people changing. Don't you smell something? I SMELL DANGER! This is definitely the beginning of APOCALYPSE! Don't believe me! Someday they will fall in front of a vehicle with this distracted and destructed mind. The end of a human because of a non living thing. I don't think there's anything more horrendous than this.

Our adults are the same! No change. In  fact, children are not to be blamed. Its us adults. Either they learn from us or we instill these habits in them to keep track of them, so that they don't run and roam around. Are you kidding me? Do you realise what you are doing? You are basically locking them with a very fancy looking chain with one end firm in your hands and one end around their necks.
 What are they - your children or slaves?

Did you forget how wonderful it was to ride a bike in the alley, how we waited for our play time and to meet our friends, how important it was to drawing the "my home" drawing and asking our parents to stick it on the fridge or board. Don't we laugh thinking about the memories of the first time we fell from the bike, or the arbitrator we played for our friends. We have forgotten all of this and we are selfish enough not to allow our kids enjoy the same! Look at what you have done to them!

Children no more laugh, no more play, lead a very sedentary lifestyle and have become arrogant. They don't know how important its to be in a team, how to handle situations, they have stopped using their minds and just have a giant blob of mass in their skull that works mechanically. Remember, how we want to go back to our childhood. Well, children of  this generation will never have that thought once simply because they just don't have any memories.

I would literally beg all those parents to remove the ghastly presence of those gadgets from your child's life and that is .. if you love them. Involve with them, nurture the, develop their talents and please don't get me started if any of you are making up the excuse in your mind that you don't have time. If you have time to fix a professional appointment with the client or even the hair dresser-- these are your children.. do you really want someone to pay you to spend time with them They need your loveee, your ear to listen , the loving feel of your hand. Give them what they deserve.

Fill in comments below regarding your thoughts, experiences on the above. Leave suggestions if any for the next post.

Until next time... With lots of hope and love... Tata!!!

SILLY MATTERS..

Enough! I don't want to hear an explanation! I saw it with my own eyes! You have betrayed me! Anddddd CHAPTER CLOSE!

How many times has this happened to you? I am sure you must have heard this, maybe lighter versions of blame or worse, much worse situations of treachery! Don't be surprised I used the word treachery. You & me both are guilty of accusing someone as though its a crime so offensive that they should be beheaded like in Game of thrones. We often forget to remind ourselves that WE AREN'T PERFECT. Hence how can we expect someone else to be perfect. Besides as I always say perfect is boring, monotonous and its such a lethargic word. 

Misunderstandings, uncompromising nature, lack of patience are the super rooted roots that we spoil our relationships; be it father-son, daughter-mother, husband-wife, siblings and even at the macro level nation wide rivalry , religious rivalry. Just pause for a moment and think, is it doing any good to you and me. Like what does one gain other than negative feelings (remember we are against it  with positivity). 

Many times I have fought over silly matters that just required to me think before I opened my big fat mouth and overacted. I have always wondered why didn't  I wait to think? Just imagine, in your professional life, do we just over react over everything or do we stop to think and try to bring out innovative solutions. Do you try to find out new ways to complete a level in a video game or do you just stare at your computer  and shout and scream and fight with it physically. Well, my question is if you can act maturely with these non-living things and matters, couldn't we just try a mere 1% the same with the living things we call our beloved.

Couldn't we just apply a star to the situation - Smile, Think, Act, Repeat. (I love making these formulas). I am sure all of us have heard that a calm mind can quieten the sea... it goes something like that or so. Anyway, back to the point.. next time a situation arises, think of it as a game that requires to act smartly and maturely with a positive attitude. The more positive traits you display, you get points, the more negative traits you display- GAME OVER.. The thing we should remember is that we can't change another but we can ourselves. Besides the change in you.. your positivity, your fresh smile can turn the tables such that the "villain" in this game just quits and joins your infectious bright side.

So fill in your comments of the positive encounter you had and do suggest if there's any topic you would like me to write about.

Tata, bye, until next time.... so long...

CURVE YOUR PRETTY FACE!

Olaa!!!Good morning handsome gentlemen and lovely ladies. So how is everyone doing? Good! oh! Excellent! oh sorry bad! C'mon what's bad about this beautiful morning?
Well here I am having a bad hair and eyebrows day! Your problem couldn't be bigger than that? Just kidding. (Please don't murder me)

So lets discuss today's topic! "Smiling" :D . Everyday is a new day and I know we've all got problems! Obviously that's how life should be. Do you really want to have that monotonous life of being happy all the time. Thats BORING. Life offers us a little of everything - sugar, spice and everything nice! POWERPUFF.. TIN TIN TIN TINNNN TIN!! (Sorry, I love them). So as I was saying, life offers us a little happiness, a little sadness, a little anger, a little love - Its all drama. Just imagine, wouldn't you be bored if your daily soap/series shows the actors having the same emotions like forever! Its the same.

Take your life as an adventure, take as something to look forward to, just like if one has to cross every level of a game, you need to defeat the villain, fight the obstacle.
You know what we should all possess- a kid's mind. Its carefree, full of curiosity and theres no fear. Actually the problem with us is that we are all learned. May I make a humble request and ask all of you to unlearn what you have learnt! Unlearn the fear, Unlearn the tension and stress, Unlearn that its ok to commit a mistake, its ok that your not perfect. BE YOUNG AGAIN!

So the first step to achieve this ruckus I have created above is to smile.Smile costs you nothing! Seriously it doesn't and it can you bring you the comfort and warmth you have never enjoyed. And guess what you could make someone feel the same! Let me list out the health benefits of smiling. I am doing this special google search just for you! (I am such a drama queen, ain't I ? )

So I got this poster on Google and yes, these are some of the many reasons why smiling is awesome and should be Legen............wait for ittttt... Daryyyy!!!

So smile folks! Comment below the reason you smile !

Until next time.... tataaaaaaaaa :D :D :)

SUPER YOU!

Hi fellow homo sapiens .. hehe... I ain't crazy! You guys just got me crazy.. I can see there quite some audience reading my blog (please don't misunderstand. I am an amateur and even a few views make me get excited.) and by the way that's exactly what I was talking about- "TO THINK POSITIVE" . Something is always better than nothing. So now lets stop my drama and begin to ponder (yes I just used that word and yes I still love brackets), what shall the topic for today's introspection be. Hmmm... lets focus on the super power human in you (be it boy or girl). Yes even boy's need a push sometimes. So lets see...

Have you wondered whether you could move a glass barely by concentrating and looking at it (trust me I have done it several times). Have you thought yourself to be Superman, Matilda or Spider man. (Yes no doubt, I have tried them all). Well, what makes you feel that you ain't one. We do have superpowers. Trust me. Oh! so you don't. Let me prove it you.

• Dress and shower in 10 min when you are running late
• Mom cooks, cleans, showers and dresses in 30 min or less and no matter how late she gets up, the things are already done. 
• Your boss asks you to present in 15 min when you don't know what in the world he's talking to you about but still you do it.
• You help a person cross the street
• You bring a smile on someone's face
• Your achieve the lick of a dog by feeding him biscuits.
• You protect your sister from those bullies
• You help your brother fix his cycle

BRAVO PALS! You really need a pat on the back for the numerous gestures you do throughout the day!

 Moral of the day- Learn to appreciate yourself! Learn to give that superhuman in you a pat on the back! Learn to love yourself!

So if you have any superhuman powers and deeds that you have performed. Comment below!

Adios! Amigos!

LIVE POSITIVE!

Hi

Its been long since my first post! I started all interested, ready to be the super blogger but just like most of us (probably), my second post is after a year. The usual excuses of no time, too much to study comes to my rescue here. Actually the 18 views that I got on my previous post was definitely a motivator. So lets start afresh. 

I was thinking about what this post should be about. So I just read my previous one and the words' super girl and positive thinking were the ones that caught my attention.

So lets see, how about we address positive thinking this time. Hmmm, now this is something that is so lacking in so many of our lives. Well, what is it? Why are we supposed to think positively. Let me give some simple reasons. First, it brings a natural glow to your face. Don't you want that? Do you always have to apply those expensive radiance shimmer and foundations to get that insta glow.Second it cleanses your mind! Hey don't you want to travel abroad? Don't you want to eat your favourite steak? Don't you want to own that hot jaguar? Well, the question is don't you want to live long enough to accomplish all these dreams? Well a cleansed and relaxed mind is a key factor to all these. 

Aren't these 2 solid yet simple reasons to think positively. Now don't give me those lame excuses that your life's full of problems. Well whose ain't? Everyone has their own ups and downs. Some might have problems regarding their education , some their employment, some their personal life. We always look at people who are better than us and lament. Ok lets look at it this way; you are one percent of the population . You look at 39% of the population who are better than you while you ignore the 60 % of the population who have worse lives than you. Aren't we supposed to always remember our humble beginnings? Aren't we supposed to look back? We all now look at hypocrites as our blood gushes to help the needy and the ones discriminated. Aren't you yourself discriminating them while lamenting about your petty problems (when compared to them)? So aren't you a hypocrite.

Well now don't feel bad about yourself because I myself am guilty as accused and most of us are. Probably its human tendency. But its not late. Realise it now. I do this many times when I feel low . Close your eyes. Imagine all those beautiful thoughts and memories worth living in your life. The time when your wife makes you your favourite dinner, the time when your husband runs late just to get you a rose, the time when your child feels bad and tells you sorry, the time when you made your parents laugh, that beautiful and magical garden in your backyard and what not. Bring back those happy memories. Relive the moments. Wear your smile like its your perfume. Now your ready to face the world! ;)

Tell me how you feel about the post and fill in suggestions for my next post!

Until next time...... so long bud!!
