Manifestation time!

December - Day 2 Last year, I decided to follow the path of manifestation. Yes, it feels cringe and too predictable, but hey, what is the harm in trying, right ? So there I was, on a workshop with a friend to build out my vision board. The image you see here is an AI generated image of what I put together on paper. Pretty close I would say! Interesting to note that i first created a prompt on Perplexity pro to describe the hand drawn vision board and then used that text on Canva to generate this image. I must say, it is impressive. Now back to the vision board, I plan to double click(yes, the impact of my work calls) on each of these over the next couple of days. Now I have content lined up over next one week! Yayy! 2025 did bring expected and unexpected twists and turns in my life, but this vision board kept me grounded. Havingit right in front of my workstation at home helped me reinforce the year's goals. I also went through an executive coaching program which was instrumental in shifting my internalized pressures to achieve everything on the vision board exactly the way i envisioned and feeling miserable or a failure for NOT achieving them. So I started this year with a vision in mind and also not holding myself to an unrealistic standard and feeling like a failure. I am confident and a positive person, but that does not stop me from undermining myself without even realizing I was doing that. I had to put a stop to that and feel good about my little progress and my journey. It is mine. Not that of anyone else. My one step is a giant leap. It is not to be compared to someone else who has landed on the moon. I took one step ahead. I am dancing in my head with this achievement. And more genuinely now. So, over the next couple of days, you can follow my journey and see how I am celebrating each of these milestones! Until then, Happy Reading!

The loss of a friend !

My Father-in-law was not the typical FIL who was distant and would not interact with his daughter-in-law. Well, initially he was like that and then he warmed up to my presence and opened up to me. Over the last few years, as we spent a lot of time together, as we were all living in the same home, he became my close friend, mentor, guide and my biggest cheerleader. He was born in Shimoga, grew up in Amrutur with his aunt, started his family in Sagara and eventually retired into Bangalore. 80+ years, he has had the most enviable life. Don't mistake it for a rosy life or a life with no issues or problems! He was one among 11 - 6 boys and 5 girls. He was the 2nd child and as his mother had more children, she needed help raising the kids and so she reached out to her sister in law to take care of him in Amruthur - a farmland. He grew up under the care of his aunt and love from his cousins, who were all girls. He would eat fresh food from the abundance of the farm and also drink milk so...

It's been 5 years !

I still remember not being able to fall asleep on November 7th 2020. I usually crash and sleep almost the instant I decide to call it a day. But that day, I closed my eyes and was tossing and turning and I just could not sleep. It was almost 1 am the next day when I just about started to doze off when I got a call. A call that late into the night from a family member is always dreaded. I now knew why ! I was told that my Amma was not well and we needed to go to see her immediately. 5 minutes after we started, we heard the news that she was no more. The ride took 40 minutes and still felt like a terrible nightmare. Once I reached where she was, we decided to wait for a couple of more hours before informing our family and friends. At 4am, I started making the calls. Reiterating to each one that Amma was no more. It was the toughest to state it out loud like that when no one ever saw it coming. Just 12 hours back we were making plans of what sweets each of us would make for Deepavali. Sh...

My Wheels!

  April, this year, my better half took me to a car showroom and we just ended up booking a car for myself on my birthday. Best gift ever! Though I made the transactions, him making the decision on the car and taking me there was very special. I had not pursued driving at all since I received my DL in 2004! Close to 20 years later, I have suddenly found confidence and the enthusiasm to drive. I learned in Chennai and often would take Appa's car, but it was his office car, so was always scared of any potential damage. Then my husband's car. His parents always used to worry about the tiniest damage on the car and that was excuse enough to not gain confidence in driving his car. So, a year back, I had decided I had to buy one for myself to gain confidence. I am now wondering why I didnt do it any sooner!  I am loving my new wheels and I love how I managed to drive 35 kilometers in just a day yesterday! It's a month since I got my new car and my confidence is high! This was als...
