Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

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- 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!! Im forced in to one this month (Yes, its a month). Recently my flip phone glitched and stopped working. I gave it to Samsung customer care. It takes 3 to 4 weeks (I know!!! it sounds like 100 years) for them to work out whether to replace or fix. Until then I have this temp phone which I don't own. 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...

 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 ...

One could split their life in to two parts if you are married, life before and life after.It sounds cliche'  but life do change in some way.  One such thing is the pressure of having a child, you get married and tried to settle down financially first before you commit yourself to take on bigger responsibility. Child is something was not in my radar , I was not ready emotionally, physically and financially at first.  We had our plans to settle down before we commit ourselves to become a parent. We wanted to make sure We build a support system in the new country we just moved in. If you live closer to your family, you have the privilege to count on them for occasional child minding.  I don't have that privilege, all we could do is one of us have to quit our job to take care of the child until he or she is  ready to go to day care.   Pressure was on from day 1, initially you don't take'em seriously, just brush off the comments to a point after 2 yrs every...

**Post was meant to be posted in July 2021** This year is the BIG year, I don't remember any of my previous  big O bdays.. thinking about it I realised  I never paid any attention to my age. Never once I told myself I can't do this coz of my age, I have always done something coz I want to do it. Hitting 40 doesn't scare me, it feels perfect.  Considering the life span of human these days, I may well be called middle-aged person. Where did time fly?  It is so true one can not get their youth or childhood back. However, one can choose to be innocent(not ignorant) like a child, curious like youth and stay young forever. Although my body and metabolism may not agree with it. who cares?! The only thing I planned as an adult is my vacations and holidays, not worked out what I want to be or where I want to be 5 or 10 yrs down the time.  I believe in life experiences and people we meet , how it influence our thinking and inspirations for next step. I look forward to tha...

 How?? you may ask Let me complete the title "how to become a Billionaire in alternative universe!!" . Don't roll your eyes!! This is a true story , listen up carefully.  Straight from the horses mouth, you are now reading the true story of a Billionaire in alternate universe. Yup, thats me.. Technically its lil A & G, I can tag along even though I didn't support their ideas or efforts. First lesson you should learn is You MUST always always support the foolishness/ the great initiatives your family do. Don't be that unsupportive, logical, realistic, negative person.  Its all started in 2019/2020, when McDonalds introduced their Monopoly deal. You can play Monopoly with the stickers you collect from them , more you buy more chances of you winning 'something'.  Let me list the things we DID not WIN in this universe, waiting to be collected in alternate universe. --->Full backyard kitchen with BBQ and all.. - Im glad we didn't win this coz we don...

Abdul Kalam said "You have to dream before your dreams can come true!!" ..  lil A took this quote too far and started to dream so much so, he is exploring and considering his options.The endless possibilities means he can keep changing his profession. Who knows he would become a multi-verse professional. One day he wants to work at McDonalds for free nuggets, next he is thinking of becoming a chef because he cooks his 2 min noodles in perfect spice(provided). One day he decides to become wedding photographer after comparing the picture he took with his Dad's  (who needs a basics in photography crash course), next he wants to be an assistant to David Attenborough. One day he is a cricketer , next he is a tennis player , then he will become an Olympic athlete (he has a  strategy for 100m running). One day he is a billionaire , he promised to  buy me a country house and next day he has no plans to move out of our lil unit forever. One day he wants to be a scientist , ne...
