Toxic Trait

Image
Let's talk about the elephant in the room!!  Come on, its not bad. All of us has some toxic trait. I have so many but one that I noticed recently and I was rather shocked to reflect on it. Recently I did plasma donation which I started after seeing G doing it for so many years and got inspired and started it for my bday. I must say its not going well for me, I don't want to scare anyone who is thinking of donating. It is one of the best thing to do. For women who has mensural issues, you need to monitor your hemoglobin and blood pressure just incase it puts you in danger.    Few years back I was iron anaemic and I had to do few infusions. After a procedure last year my iron level is much better. I start off plasma donation, after my 1st donation, my hemoglobin dropped which I didn't notice until next time I went to donate. But the nurse reassured  that Im in normal range for donation. So I went ahead.  I didn't want to do my next donation immediately, I waited f...

Digital Detox

 Digital Detox- isn't a fancy word of the decade? I see now and then people in social media taking a break and living a life like in 2000s i.e without constant notifications. Well!!

I don't feel like installing all the apps and then give it away in 3 weeks time. Its been 3 days, I don't miss the virtual world(yet) and the constant notifications. The only thing I miss is taking pictures while going for walk. Nuisance of this habit is when I had to backup 100000 pics of grass/leaves/flowers/greens/pathways.. Some of the same pic exists 10 folds. I have to either stop taking 10 pics of the same grass or flower Or consciously delete them after using it for my status. I have no ex...

Big M and Lil A

 I'm going to write about this common topic which makes some people  awkward or uncomfortable . I'm not sure why that is  the case.. There will be atleast one person with an uterus around you either at home or at work or at school or anywhere in your town. Yes this post is about Mensural cycle - The big taboo M and my conversations with Lil A about it.  Did I tell you I don't filter my thoughts and we talk about it.. Often For as long as I can remember, periods are painful, sick and exhausting. My mom said it will get better once I get married. It only got worse as you get old from 10 days to 3 weeks leaving a week off in a month without pain. In that 3 weeks , mood goes on a roller coaster ride ,  doesn't stop with one ride but a whole a theme park .. non-stop , your headache hits the roof for few days and to make the party super fun add in some cramps & body aches. By then  you don't feel any part of the body.  For those of you reading this ...
