My Sweet Tooth

Hello again! Came across a highly shared post of illustrations which may seem like "GYAN" to most of us but man that was so true! The post illustrated social media as a world that is flooding minds with unrealistic expectations and sucking us into depression.

While social media is infamous for the pressure it puts on to you to be perfect, such perfection hungry critiques are real and around us and boy, they are vocal! They feel no shame to share their unsolicited views on your life, in-fact they take this as their rightful duty to tell that you are missing out on your life because you are just not perfect!

Just recently, I figured that the tremendous effort I have been putting in so far on fixing on of my imperfection - WEIGHT  - was not enough!

I discovered in the world now has a problem with my sweet little tooth. I have lived with this slightly crooked tooth of mine for approximately 20 years or so! Apparently, its very prominent now that I have lost nearly 50% of the required body weight to be healthy (I know its an achievement in itself, but do we care for achievements? No we worry more about what is not done)!

The tooth comment sent me into a  flash-back mode - to  memories of being bullied since childhood that had faded or had been swept under the carpet of WEIGHT which has been THE most prominent issue.

I was the dark sheep of the very FAIR Koknastha Sathe family!

Then they had issues with the fact that I sucked at sports, due to WEIGHT they thought, it was due to the fact that I was way too conscious about how I looked when I ran and not really the weight itself.

Then my bad taste in fashion! Thru high school and college, fashion was either too expensive or too small. So there you go, yet another imperfection!

The recent and by far the most bizarre was the concern for the shape of my bust and the impact that the weight loss will have on the already imperfect shape. Like seriously!

I am not here to list down my imperfections, I am here to talk to girls and guys like me  - guys lets just prioritize and correct the flaws which we feel really concern us for whatever reason, mine being health! The list if created will be endless and its impossible to correct what god could not so if you love to wear stripes - flaunt them, if you  hate make-up - you don't need it, if you too have that sweet tooth - celebrate it.

Smile Please!

A battle won, will I win the war?

As a kid I heard stuff like 'change is the only constant' and wondered if it has to change, why waste time trying to do anything about it - Lazy me you see ... ( I am writing a new post after 6+ years, that explains a lot) but today is different, today I had to say it. This morning when I got dressed up for a friendship day celebration at work (yes I work on Saturdays :( ) I asked Mr. Husband to take a picture of me for my before & after collection (BTW I am on a weight loss cycle again! This time on I am 100% at it) he took a good one with his iPhone 7+ and wallah! I look stunning - to him, of course and to me for the first time in a while! I sent the pic to my sister and she said - Make this your DP... and I was not sure! I have been conscious of a lot of things in the 30 years being, so much that I would find comfort in hiding behind the crowd, this was perfectly normal till I met my split personality for the first time in school. This split is a center stage person...

Simple Complexes

I  have been out of form for a while, part because I was busy - part because I was not, welcome to my world :) So lately I have been travelling to work with Mr. Husband and amidst some cozy PDA, we have been engaging in some worldly knowledge sharing sessions . The beauty of these conversations is that before we come to conclusions, it is time to say see you in the evening! One such conversation today made  ponder, retrospect and introspect! Complex! Sounds difficult and is difficult to understand and express! Complex! We spoke of someone we know an how I felt they had a deep complex of how they looked and the fact that to us, this individual seemed perfectly normal and in fact really radiant. While we discussed the positives of this individuals, it was time for me to get off the comfortable car ride and hop on to the bumpy auto ride to my work place. On my ride ahead, I kept thinking of this person and what could have led to them think of themselves as infer...

Open for happiness

Turning 31 was something I never thought of as being positive, let alone exciting 😟 but here I am all 31 and all fine as old wine 😉. On that note, I move my focus to the real muse of this article, Pooja. She was the better, more sincere, cuter one - in short she was the Sharma ji ki beti in the house! While I agree she was, childhood with her was bitter-sweet with us almost strangling each other over who got more Maggie to sharing candy that we got in school. All in all I had confused -  mixed feelings about being the elder one! She, being better at most things - adulting being one of them, was with me in the most difficult times. She did the reading for me and saved me the mehnat of going through self - help research and shared all the great insights. She enrolled me into Reki and boy, that changed my life. I chose today to share this because its a special day - it is the day I was born and Pooja in the past couple of years has helped me be born again! This post i...
