I don't wanna be a stoopid girl !

What happened to the dreams of a girl president
She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of two or three
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?

Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

These are lyrics by Pink. I have started to like Pink more by the day for her attitude and her bold spirit. I have always loved her songs , and this one that I heard recently ( though it is an old one ) , really makes me wonder why girls are so obsessed with being girly ! Watching a movie like Black Swan or listening to stories from Portia de Rossi or other anorexic girls , you would really wonder if it was worth all that in the end. It sure feels good to be slim , but not at the cost of not eating well or throwing up after eating ! I was never worried about becoming fat , but I admit I had always been lazy to eat and would generously skip lunch and at times even dinner. These were during my school days. My mom cooks really well , but I could never eat my lunch properly. All I used to ask for were 2 rotis and would end up bringing back home a 1.5 roti , much to the anger of my mother. I did everything to escape her reprimands , even ended up throwing the lunch in the dustbin before I got back home. And on vacation days , when my mother used to work at office , I would give my brother his lunch and would either eat very less or would skip it completely. Mothers are always smart , they somehow find it out. Another crazy habit I used to have was throwing up after having my breakfast. I have never done these things out of an intent to be thin or because I wanted to look like a model. But I did all that. After joining college , all this somehow changed and I think I got better after that. I did put on some weight , but I was glad I was eating !

I am now cooking and eating well. I do try to work out to stay fit , but I never would skip a meal to lose weight or to avoid gaining extra kilos. I love myself and I will never starve my body just to attain a state of perceived physical beauty.

Eat well , eat healthy , work out , take long walks , stay fit !

Bon Appetit ...again! :)

The Man

  Last week, this song "The Man" by Taylor Swift, played as I walked into office. It felt like a great way to start my work as I marched into my floor and inside my cabin. Pumped, I start my daily routine at work and as I get through the day, I realize I enjoy my work and that I am good at it. Would I be at a different level if I were a man? Maybe. But I would rather go through my journey my way because we cannot keep regretting what we cannot change. However, I do lend that hand to a younger woman and guide her so she learns from my mistakes too and can work smarter. I make sure I am the person representing my girl-tribe in moments where their skills are sought for.  This also reminds me of Cher's interview where she says that instead of marrying a rich man, she was the Rich Man !  I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the m...

June - Doctor/Hospital month??? Is this the start of a trend?

 June 12th 2014, I went for a regular scan to my Gynec - 37 weeks into my pregnancy and was asked to go for an immediate scan, that followed a suggestion to get admitted right away, and then surgery was scheduled the next day. 28 years on earth and I had never been admitted at a hospital for anything, not even typhoid or chicken pox! And here I was hospitalized for 11 days, 1 pre-surgery, 10 post until my son recovered from jaundice ! And that's the end, I thought !  June 4th, 2022, I was out shopping with my son. My previous blog posts detail the ordeal and how i was again hospitalized for a week for concussion and surgery to my face for bruises. A plastic surgery that didn't change my "beauty".  Cut to June 16th 2023, a couple of days ago, woke up with a sharp, shooting pain, like contractions non-stop and ended up getting admitted, drips and pain killers not being effective, to rushing to a scan that helped find the root cause - Hemorrhage of cyst in ovary. Sounds ...

A Birthday Celebration to Remember

  Last year, June 2022, we celebrated my son's 8th birthday and thanks to the concussion and memory loss, I didn't remember anything about it. This year, as he turned 9, made sure that I was present and there were many presents(more than what you can see here) !  And ofcourse, this year, with the cake, friends, family and the time-off from work really helped me spend quality time with him and my family and really this was a birthday celebration to remember.
