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…
E – Energy
E is for energy – energy constitutes the universe and our energy collides with it to pave a path for all of us. How do I know it? I haven’t done any research but over the years, reading various books and listening to stories passed over generations, I have formulated my opinion. In the mythological…
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…
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…

Day 22 – A book that makes me cry
I am quite an imaginative and emotional person. So when I read books, it is like a movie going in my head. Human stories always make me cry as they are real. Currently I am reading Humans by Brandon Stanton from Humans of New York. It has some touching stories from across the world. The…
Day 20 – Favourite romance book
Being a thorough romantic, I love reading this genre. When I was a young girl, as per the time bound tradition, I read Mills and Boon. Now it does give you a distorted view about romance but they were my first romantic novel. Since then I have read classic love stories like Pride and Prejudice…
Day 18 – A book that disappointed me
My reading is very eclectic. I will pick up a book, not like it and then keep it away. I will pick it up again after months and it will become my favourite book. It all depends on my state of mind when I am reading a particular book. I am hoping it is not…
