live in the moment

ABOUT ME

Curious, adventurous, traveller, simple, frugal, thinker, planner but extremely spontaneous while travelling, open, extrovert, meditate, eat healthy, enjoy a social drink, love being active, think about the impact of my actions on the environment and others

I believe in remembering we are part of each other and without each other we cannot survive...

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present, learn, love, be aware, accept, persevere, challenge,.......be acepting of everything that happens and live wholistically. I too need to be reminded about these-sometimes we get stuck in a rut and someone needs to remind you what this journey was supposed to be about...learning
Happiness and sadness are here to stay- learn from the sad moments as well as the happy moments...you may have to go through the process to learn from the experiences...so feel the feelings and bask in them-CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT ;)

Desiderata...
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very flexible and open and have learnt that the more I expose myself to different types of music, movies, cultures and books and the more I understand their potential and this helps me be creative in the work I do. To me everything has a purpose...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

too many to pen down but not too many to recount if I meet you...yes I'm a chatterer

Teach, Learn, Share

all kinds because the more we expose ourselves to different types of people the more we learn about ourselves through self reflection...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like cooking for people and creating a fusion of different foods. I never formally learnt to cook but I think as an Indian I use all the spices I can with whatever is fresh in the market and can make a pretty great meal. I love music and can dance like there is no tomorrow...I can sing even though I croak but what the heck...got to share everything right ;)
