My beginning of 2025..How's your looking?

 We are already 2 weeks into 2025.

How are you living your life any differently this year if at all?

Well, My elder daughter (turned 18th in Dec 2024) got me off the social media addiction. Thank you, Sweetheart.. You are my greatest strength.

I know the question popping into your mind; how did this happen? the app that made me more human again is called Opal. 

Download this app and block all the social media apps that consume the majority of your day and make you less productive. For me, she blocked  Instagram and Facebook. Voila, after a painful 24 hours of withdrawal syndrome kicking in, there was a 50% reduced screen time. The good thing is, that I am not hooked to these apps unlike before.

I used to be big on making New Year's resolutions. I think my dad got me into making these and ever since I used to make some resolutions but only to be broken soon. 

In my 40s, old habits die hard, so not really want to make some loud resolutions but got back into the habit of reading. My latest book is "The 5 am Club". Still in the midst of it, but it makes me wonder, how people create such masterpieces. Do read it if you haven't already. There are so many wonderful nuggets that you can start incorporating into your life with ease.

On the healthset- making an attempt to get back into the routine of mindful eating. Ten days of all-inclusive December vacation gifted me a 5 Kg weight gain, so I have some work to do here. 

Quite a few more things on my to-do list for this year that I will share later..


Till then, stay happy and make the most of your time..

My life in bits and pieces

 Welcome to my blog. I don't know where to start. I am a half-empty nester now. No idea where all these years went by. I thought it was very recent when I started college. My mind is still stuck in my early 20s but I am currently in my mid-40s. Now that we can call it a mid-life crisis. US and Canada had been home but my heart is still in India.  I am here to share some boring, some interesting snippets of my life with you all.  I am an introvert but I like it when someone starts a discussion and involves me. I like to talk then, but it's hard for me to take that first step.  Ever since I remember, I wanted to do something in my life. I did not want to be idle. On the contrary, for the past year, I have been idle. I lost my job. Thanks to the job market, I am still unemployed. My boring routine starts from waking up to send my younger one to school. Once she is out of the door, I again try to fall asleep. It takes time but I manage it somehow. Reluctantly I try to wa...
