Small Steps – Part 2

Each step towards your goal matters. And this couldn't be any truer. The motivation to wake up before starting work so that I could squeeze in the yoga and focus on training in evening. The motivation to actually leave home and wear shoes and go out. The motivation to plan new routes every now and …

Fears

I think a lot of posts are long due. And my list seems to get longer each time I add a new topic that I would like to write about and share something. Without any further delays, it's time to bring that list to action. Start with something that's been absolutely thrilling and I've been …

Highs and lows…

As we grow we realize things are changing. time is moving at the speed of light.

Garbage and more… Literally.

"Thud!" Plastic bag breaking after hitting the ground, my parents heard this sound as soon as they entered home at about 10pm. It came from outside. So they went out to see immediately. It turned out to be a 23-year-old throwing his garbage (bio and everything else) from 1st floor of his home on to …

Courage…

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” ― E.E. Cummings Sitting in a life boat, shivering, tears running down my cheeks, I was waiting for the next few minutes to get over as soon as possible. All I wanted was to place my feet on solid ground. The waves were …

Can I really see?

"We are blind as we want to be. ~Maya Angelou" "There's the yellow line Sebastian, step back please", I told to someone at the train station who is destitute of vision. He stopped, turned towards me and told, "Hello, but we haven't met before have we?". It took me a couple of seconds to reply …

Going home…

"Family, like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one." I've waited to write this blog for so long. And after a wait of two and half years and more, I am finally here. About to start packing to fly home, to my home. Since the time …

Feelings…

"Always tell someone how you feel, because opportunities are lost in a blink of an eye but regrets can last for a long time..." As much as this quote means to its every single letter, it still can't be followed to its words... We have a range of emotions that we can't even explain each …

Fashion or comfort?

Just because the title says fashion, this post isn't necessarily only aimed for the female readers. Having cleared that, I would like to share my thoughts on what I've been observing off late. Maybe I am already late to start understanding what does trend and fashion really mean. But with my attempts of observing people …

Growing up…

"This is a beautiful route...Sun has its calming shine...I can feel the wind...And it's all real"... My head was looping with such thoughts on one evening while returning from a nearby hiking trail. It was a nice day. Calm and productive (in a way). I'd just had a couple hours of hike, enjoyed the calm …

My German Family …

"Families don't have to match. You don't have to look like someone else to love them - Leigh Anne Tuohy" I have always been close to this one particular person since my arrival in this country. And she has not only been a guide at each step in this journey but such a special friend …

What did 2016 teach me?

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” - Maria Robinson It's the end of the year and this year I haven't written a lot... No, I won't lie and say I didn't have time... If time is needed, it will be made. But …
