Day 30 – From Pinterest to Reality

Posted on August 31, 2022September 1, 2022 by sonalion

I struggled with this one as I do like to check out Pinterest, mostly for home decor and recipes. But I never copy things, which means that my reality is always different from Pinterest. But then I remembered that this idea of blogging for my birthday month came from Pinterest. So, this is the closest…

Posted on August 17, 2022August 17, 2022 by sonalion

Now this is a great blog post to write. I am full of guilty pleasures and I am happy to own up to them too! My top guilty pleasure would be Indian fast food – I can gobble it any time of the day. Pakode, samose, chaat, momos, chow mein- you name it! I love…

Day 15 – A day in my life

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 by sonalion

These days, I wish I had more than 24 hours in a day! That pretty much sums up the day in my life – it is busy. I am not a great sleeper – so my day usually begins early. When I wake up, I read the news, catch up on overnight texts from family…

Day 14 – My blogging story

Posted on August 14, 2022August 14, 2022 by sonalion

My blogging story started in 2008. I was a young mom, at home with a new born boy, with very little adult company. I did not know much about blogging but loved to read. Blogs were becoming popular at the time and one of my good friends Nell started writing about her travels and life….

The blog title stumped me today as I wasn’t sure what to write coz the must have item is different based on what I am doing. So I thought I will chronicle my must have items when I am leaving home. The five things I don’t leave home without My phone – my phone is…

Day 12 – Monthly goals

Posted on August 12, 2022August 12, 2022 by sonalion

It was my birthday. I have grown a year older, a year wiser and a year closer to mortality. I feel loved every day but I was grateful for all the love showered by everyone near and far yesterday. It made me feel very special. My monthly goals haven’t changed since the start of the…

Z – Zest

Posted on August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 by sonalion

Z is for zest – that unbridled passion and energy for something. I have zest for positivity in my life. As I say, I don’t need any drugs or alcohol, I am high on life and there ain’t a better high! As you must have seen a pattern in my posts, it doesn’t come easy….

Y – You

Posted on August 25, 2021August 26, 2021 by sonalion

Y is for You! Everything starts and ends here. There is a Shloka in Bhagvad Geeta – Akele aaye hain and akele hi jaana hai – we come to the world alone and leave it alone. It doesn’t translate that we should be alone but the fact that it is very important to think about…

X – XO

Posted on August 24, 2021August 25, 2021 by sonalion

X is for XO which stands for hugs and kisses in popular culture. I started researching as to how it came about. The internet has many theories – it seems X resembles lip lock and O looks like two people embracing. I cannot see it but symbolism has always been interesting. I am a big…
