I found this with ‘positively positive’ group at Facebook.Which i absolutely love and adore.
Check it out.
Its longish but worth every minute.I also got a little exasperated to see that it was 16 minutes long, but it is worth it.
Pep talk: for me: by me
Its time I had pep talk with me
It has to be addressed as you
Even if its for me
Hey you,
Doing good you fool!
2010 has been your year, after all
As you find new things each day
Your newly discovered Non-ADD self, finds its way
As you want to read every article you get
As you want to have opinion on everything on earth
Slow down, will you
I am a bit scared you know
You never look behind much
And forget what you had perviously learnt
Can you still keep writing a poem or two?
Take few photos will you?
Drive slow
Don’t be that Louise too much!
Been there done that, remember
Don’t feel the need to manipulate again
Don’t feel the need to dominate again
It will cause you only pain
It feels empowering now
But when the heady feeling is gone
You will not only be alone
You will feel guilty too
Its great that you are in good place right now
But please, don’t become
Someone else yet again
Remember: incorporate
Don’t throw away
Can you take a breather tomorrow
Take only photographs, ok?
Do it for me
I am you
Don’t forget me, ok.

Definition of my God
I was totally into ISKCON until few months ago.Unfortunately due to some unfortunate situation, I parted ways with my local group.I still love them, I just got a little lost.
Losing way is also a good thing i have learnt.
Feeling humiliated, rejected and alone is also ok as long as you know how to work at your feelings and remain an optimist.
So here I am!
Not an atheist but not belonging to any particular religion. Respecting all.Ready to explore whatever is presented to me.
And then i started enjoying twitter.
Twitter is like God’s reflection in every way.
There are people on it, just sending you good vibes in 140 characters or less.
I love it.
Also I met not only lot of my spiritual advisors there, I also met a God’s man!
Paulo Coelho…
He wrote these Declaration of Principles.
I feel this is my Bible/Geeta or any other holy book.
I relate to these principles more and frankly I can read several great 140 character quotes to contemplate at Twitter, which could be taken directly from these Holy books. But i am not into history so this works far better for me.
Here are my two cents:
Evolution happens and will keep happening: Even God likes it!
God also has sense of humor
Its very important to contemplate on words of others on daily basis to remain present and growing.
Some times two people saying exactly opposite things, can both be right!
If i wonder why somethings happened to me, like why my child was premature or sick, it causes me pain. I forgive myself for any bad karma.I forgive God for letting my child be sick.
Its not my problem to understand why everything happens or convince others why anything happens. Shit happens.I still keep my faith.I still believe in that invisible force beyond me. Is it collective personality of our psych or God or just odd luck if you make free associations, whatever, I am not sure.I do not mind exploring. But currently i do not know.
Current generation is as good as dead historians who wrote those big fat books which we break our head reading.If you can not read those books, pay attention to people who make sense to you.Like i said, Paulo makes sense to me!
Know your limitations.Mine is dealing with catastrophic talk. I just can’t. Everyone has a right to know what does not work for them.No one is perfect.
Do your own thing. Feel less guilty. Have your own set of personal values.Do what is right, what your heart feels right.God will be with you.My heart says so!
Its amazing where you find God sometimes.Not with the self righteous holy book thumping, finger pointing person but with clueless doubter who themselves do not know what its about!!!

Some love for myself
It has been just more than a year since i started this blog.
I have learnt a lot.
- I am foolishly lucky to have my daughters.Having a family is a blessing.
- I have become confidant (leaning towards overconfident…i have to correct myself every time)
- I have started biking ( thank you world for the motivation) with my twins. Hurrah to Burley Honey Bee Bike Trailer! And their father is the genius behind finding the right fit for our family!
- I can count on myself. I went through really considerable stress over last few months but somehow things are now at continuous tranquility stage. I no longer get affected by what others are saying or suggesting and filter it out to what suits me best and makes me feel happier and together.
My life motto:
It is only possible to live happily-ever-after on a day-to-day basis. ~Margaret Bonnano
My happily-ever-after has already started. Till i am alive, i will strive to be healthy and happy plus provide loving care to my daughters!
- I have started jazzercise. I need to loose weight, i know its more like i am fat and fabulous that works in my current state of mind but i still want to loose weight and get in best shape i can!
- I love google reccomended articles, facebook, twitter, yahoo, lifehacker, nytimes, my local newspaper, Dr Phil, Gayle King, Oprah!
- I love watching Hollywood and Bollywood movies, however few.
- On this friendship day i would like to pray peace, happiness, health and good luck for everyone. I also have to add my best friend is me, me,me. If i am mentally and physically healthy, i can overcome any obstacles. I can make my own decisions and be as self-reliant as i know its possible for me! I love myself, my gift of ‘self love’ especially for me!
Things i am going to work on:
Found ‘The Wow factor’ , metro guide with our local newspaper. I have to confess, i need to gear up , go out more, see some of the great things out there in our community, make some new friends.
I am sure , i can do it!

Dream Job – Blogadda Contest
Blogadda Contest sponsored by Pringoo
My dream job is same it has been for long time.
I want to be able to join a residency in subject of my choice.
My choice has always been a matter of thought for me but no more.I know now its got to be Psychiatry.
Problem is passing boards. I have not been able to do that.
I do not know if my dream will ever turn into reality.
Being on H4 visa, i can not even flip burgers at McDonalds if i want– that is the reality.
Reality takes a bite out of every dream, i have heard a lot, last couple of months. It has taken life out of my very soul!
