Comfort in little things

I got inspired by this book I was reading, 'Comfort and Joy' which talks about how we can feel comfort at little things in life.

What we do on day to day basis has a lot of instances which actually making us comfortable. Take a moment to feel it.

Feel the morning rays on your cheeks when you wake up from the bed. For people like me who dont have a bedroom facing East, come to the part of room which is facing sun and feel the sun-light.

Sit on a quiet chair and take a moment for yourself.
For a tea lover like me, I take comfort even in making tea, as I boil water and then the aroma of tea as its boiling, is a moment I enjoy. As it blends all the spices, cardomom, ginger and pepper as they are boiling..As I am drinking, I enjoy it more.

Take comfort in taking a shower. Smell the soap. Feel the warm water as its cleansing your skin and close your eyes...get lost in the aroma...

Feel comfort listening to the radio, esp the NPR radio, the reception is so clear,it makes you feel cozy and warm in your car...:)

While I wear a warm jacket, I feel the warmth of a jacket as it wraps my skin.

Inspirations..

I pickup inspiration from a thought or from an act or from an inanimate object too sometimes.
Inspiration is everywhere, we just have to find it.

Eating too much spicy food teaches us that we should eat something sweet in other way,it teaches us how to balance our tastes.

The bond between me and peter griffn!

Peter Griffin in Family Guy. I think he is the most cute and cuddly and adorable character.

He makes stupid things and laughs about it. Once he wrecks his car into a TV Antenna and whole colony is wondering who did that.

Then he blames his daughter as they both did it. He teaches her driving in the wrong way where he says,'If you see a car riding next to you while driving, make sure you always race and win'..lol..

So many dreams...so little time

I have so many dreams that I are still yet to be achieved.
And my dream's list keeps adding day by day and I end up not fulfilling atleast one.
When I start pursuing one dream, things like money,time and other priorities come and then my dream changes again.
Do we dream things that are do-able or sometimes that are unreasonable?

The stupid imagination of our mind takes us somewhere. It wants to be something but it doesnt think when we first dream about it.
Later when we think the practicality, we feel like we should have thought all this before dreaming.

Well, its never too late. Keep jotting down your dreams.Then list the practical things that are helping/preventing you from doing them
Then strike off the dreams that are unreasonable.

Ekladki bheegi bhaagi si...

ok..I have to accept that my previous blog was a little too cheesy...you guys should agree that I am still trying to perfect my writing skills in blogging..

what to write,how to write, when to write? well I just write whenever I feel like penning something down. So,today I drenched in the rain at work. I was given an option to take an umbrella by our office building people as they have free umbrellas, but I didnt want to as it was not raining at the moment but in the back of my head(I wanted to get wet in the rain).

But as always unexpected things happen in life, it started raining rather pouring when I was out.
I drenched fully but because my pants are dark color, no one could notice. I was blaming myself why I didnt take the umbrella. I was looking at other people who had umbrella..
So, I was running to find my way back, dreching...

But then later when i came inside,I told myself, 'wow...I like this feeeling', i am refreshed..i like that i didnt get my umbrella...

Sometimes in life, you forget some crucial things, like directions, umbrellas watch etc
But forgetting things might have their own fun!
If you forget something, just forget thinking about it and have fun...


If you ever get a chance, go to the edge of the city, you, sky and the rain thats it.
Get drenched completely, just dont worry as there are dryers hehe..
Walk and walk and walk...feel like you are some heroine in a bollywood song, like
the heroine in Geetanjali..or trisha in NVNV or Aishwarya Rai....

Just have fun.......the best type of fun..which doesnt cost a thing..

Dhokla Disaster!

ok..so..my dhokla today turned out to be a dhoka!

I was successful in making GITS kheer but GITS didnt provide good instructions for DHOKLA!!
After seeing Manjula on youtube, I realized that the batter should be creamy but not watery like I got.
So, I gave up my trials as I wasted 2 hours already.

You always make me feel better my Friend!

No matter how bad the situation is, you are always there.
Rain or Shine
Sunday or Monday
January or March.
I can conquer whatever I dream to if you are there.

You told me to fight when I was losing hope.
You told me to try for the 101th chance when I failed 100 chances.
You told me to do what I love to do when I am down.
You care so much about my happiness that you dont realize what makes you happy.

But I am afraid I will lose you one day! I hope that day never comes!

Fog on the skyscraper!

I like it when it rains and it leaves fog on high-rise buildings. IT looks very peaceful to me.
When it rains, I would rather take a train and go to a HillStation.
Or
When it rains, I would sit on the 22nd floor balcony and invite friends over and chit-chat.
Or
rather
I would eat something made with Green Bell Pepper.

Badon ke Advice...

Badon ke advice kaam aata hai..hamesha..They have seen more life than you.

Something similar happened to me today.
I was pondering about why sudden changes happen to you in life and I felt like I am the only one in this..

When you are down, talk to a more experienced person how he overcame the problem.
When you putin all your hardwork and still things dont workout, you dont know what to do.
But Change is good.
Life is not bed of roses...I have heard this so many times.
When I see an old man, I think that I have a long way to go.
So many things that I didn't see yet.
So many situations that I havent faced yet.
So many people that I havent met yet.
So many happy moments that are waiting!
So many sad moments too...:(

But its a mix. Life is like a bag of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get.

The Chinese Lady at the Blimpie

hehehe..i wonder why I am so crazy about Blimpie Sandwich. Not exactly any Blimpie sandwich but the one made by the Chinese lady at Terrell Mill Road.
She is so happy all the time. Is it true that happy people make you happy?

No matter how tired I am. I have to drive to the Blimpie near my house and have a sandwich at the one nearby.
A chinese lady managing Blimpie is interesting as I only saw them managing a beauty salon or a chinese restaurent. But it was unique.
All my tiredness is gone when I see her happy smile. I feel as if she smiles at life, just is 'happy', no reason. She took life as it gets.
As an IT engineer I am not happy with my life sometimes. But managing a Blimpie, she looks much happier..!!

Cardomom Ginger Latte

Cardomom Ginger Latte..

Well, this is the name I came up with. If I sum up the permutations and combinations of all the ingredients that I use in my everyday tea, I can come up with atleast 15 latte's.
That's what Starbucks does, just mix one name with another and make it a different tea.
Caramel Machiato
Caramel Hazelnut latte.
Caramel Vanilla Hazelnet...

My dream to come up with my own coffeeshop is still in thoughts..it will be fulfilled soon...

Just the thought of a tea or coffee makes you smile. Esp the Bru Ad's.

Look.on the left..I didnt realize Bru is also copying starbucks idea...Cinnamon, mocha and creme......blah blah....

Whatever it is....just the word Cappuchino or mocha...makes you think of the rich frothy coffee..on a warm winter day..where you and your cozy cup are lost in the eternal bliss of just drinking it........................
