#MondayMusings : Rediscovering the joy of cycling

The cloudy Saturday morning doesn’t dampen my spirit. There is wind in my hair as I stop pedalling while going down a slope. The rains from the previous night have washed the roads clean and I seek to explore the inner streets of the locality that I live in. Being a Saturday morning, it is quieter than usual as the city hasn’t woken up like […]

#MondayMusings : Creating Balance

If I had to make a list of all the things that I wanted to do and tried doing them all I don’t think there would be enough time. All of us seem to have a to-do list that can never be ticked off because there is only so little that we can do in the time that we have. But does that mean we […]

#MondayMusings : If you think you can do something, you can do it

Life is too short to do all the things that we want to do. Yet, often when presented with an opportunity or when we have the choice to do something that we’ve wanted to do, we are unsure if we can do it.

What if

What if

It is a beautiful summer morning. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds while the sun shines brightly. It isn’t too hot. With the cool wind that blows, the weather is just perfect. There is no sign of the fact that there was a thunderstorm the previous night. If only I could be as calm with the storm that’s raging in my mind. In […]

Why do you need some “me” time?

We live in a busy world. There are milestones to reach and deadlines to meet. The list of things to do never ends. Our lives have become a journey from one task to another with the end result being that we are not happy most of the times.

#MondayMusings : Of lessons from each moment

It has been a week since the New Year! We started off with new dreams and resolutions. How has the first week of the New Year treated you? The week so far has been great for me but it was also a little difficult. Why? Though a vacation especially during the holiday season leaves you refreshed, it also makes routine really boring. I was pumped […]
