J will always be for joy for me! Joy is that elated feeling, the unencumbered happiness that makes all your senses go fully alive. Experiencing sheer joy is a kind of meditation. You feel alive, in touch with your being and close to your spiritual self. In one of my favourite movies, Zindagi Na Milegi…

I – Information
When I started looking for words with I, there were so many that crossed my mind, starting with “I”. I toyed between Inspiration, ideation, intelligence, intimacy but settled on information especially in today’s time when understanding it is more critical than ever. The dictionary meaning of Information is “facts provided”. In this day and age,…
H – Harmony
H is for harmony, in our life and in our universe. For me perfect harmony is when my mind, heart and actions are completely in sync. Just like everything else in this chaotic world, harmony is hard to achieve. There are too many disruptions and distractions. I genuinely don’t have a magic mantra for this…
G – Gratitude
G is for being grateful and practicing gratitude everyday. There are so many lessons you learn as you progress in life and practicing gratitude is the by far the biggest one I have learnt. It is something that is part of every religion and growing up with my grandmother, she used to tell us stories…
F – Forgive
F is for forgiveness. It has taken me years to train myself to practice forgiveness. I was never the one to hold a grudge but things hurt me and linger in my psyche. I have slowly learnt it is an unnecessary weight to carry and the only person who suffers is you. So over the…

D – Dream
D is to Dream. Dreams are the first step to define our destiny. When I was young, I was told again and again to not day dream as it is for the lazy. I don’t agree with it. My dreams helped me in defining what I wanted in life. Your dreams do change as we…
C – Celebrate
C is to celebrate this beautiful gift of life. One thing that this pandemic has taught me is that life is transient and planning is futile. I have started appreciating how people felt in war times. We are waging a war against a virus and it has shone light on some home truths that we…
B – Believe, Balance, Bliss
B for me is always synonymous with Believe – belief in myself, belief in the future, belief in the world. It always starts there – without a solid belief it is very easy to feel lost in this world full of self doubt and negativity. We are surrounded by news and messages about what is…
A – Acknowledge, Accept, Adapt
It is my birthday month and every year I try to do something different. This year i decided to kick off my blog again and do the #AtoZBlog challenge. There are 26 Alphabets and 31 days in August. So I will be creative for the last 5 days 😀 The title says aptly what I…
