Your Story Matters
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
I try to do yoga and meditation every day.. I’m still struggling to keep up with my motivation but yeah I think both are a great way to live a long and healthy life and i believe I’m on the right track ^_^
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
Kathal(jackfruit) ki sabji(curry) ..my mother’s recipe with all the spices ..good lord it taste so good! Not only are they highly nutritious but taste more heavenly when you’re hungry.
I have always been fascinated about mountains and forest and it’s not the terrain i am interested in but the trees the variety of trees i get to enjoy gazing along with birds adding up to their glory.Nature is beautiful and it comes with so many wonders. One of which are trees. They not only provide us with the gases and food which sustain life but also add up to the beauty of this planet. Trees are wonderful and it’s high time we treat them as a nature’s humble gift to us and start acknowledging their irreplaceable importance in every life that breaths.
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
If I were force to wear something? Well no one can force anyone to wear anything..but If I were to wear something over and over again it would be a straight legged denim with an oversized T shirt ..that’s where my comfort lies
How important is spirituality in your life?
Spirituality is a medium to get connected with our higher self and with the one who created all that lives and breaths
Spirituality for me is everything which calms down my racing heart 💜
And what are we?
Nothing but souls wrapped up in a mortal body
And where do we go after our time is done?
Nobody knows this is where spirituality comes into play it helps us find purpose when everything seems purposeless.
Music is a form of spiritual practice for me .it calms me down, makes me happy, makes me wanna dance with joy if this is not spirituality than what is?
Meditation in the form of prayers has helped me big time
Prayers are a big part of my life it gives me a sense of protection.
Jesus has been an important figure in my life since the day I started understanding things he keeps me sane in this insane world.
I believe everybody has their own way with spirituality.
We just gotta find what works best for us and when.
I’m nothing without my spiritual self because it gives me a sense of worth …like i matter like i have a purpose and everybody needs it,needs it to keep going.
I don’t know,nobody knows how did we end up here on this planet but we all know there has to be someone or something out there which much more abled than us that controls everything,
and spirituality makes me realise this everyday.
How do you practice self-care?
For me everything is about self care
From applying lotion to my body to practicing meditation every morning everything is self care
You don’t have to do something humongous and extraordinary to show you care about yourself..it’s the small things you do out of love for youself and those around you..is self care
Discipline in little things is self care,
Like waking your friend up everyday when you yourself are sleepy is self care
Hitting the gym at the same time everyday even when you don’t feel like is self care
Doing meditation
Early morning cold showers
Reading good books
Doing your work with honesty Eating healthy meals(sometimes chocolate 😋)
laughing with friends,gossiping,ranting about life all these are my kind of self care…because all these things make me happy at the end of the day and that’s what matters.
In short self love = self care
Why can’t we simply leave our emotions be? and just for once respect them for what they are.
Why are some emotions bad and some good? Why do we put a tag on them? They are just what they are, An “expression” of our inner struggles and winnings, Because how do I see myself in the mirror today and say I’m brave” if I were not scared yesterday.
Is not weakness the reason we can feel strength? And sadness the reason we can feel happiness? Then why is there so much fuss only about being brave and strong and happy and positive all the time.
We don’t need to suppress one to feel the other. Our every aspect is beautiful in the way they should be. Our flaws are of much more importance than our perfection.
Our flaws are unique Our flaws are beautiful.
How do you waste the most time every day?
Write about your first crush.
The most funny part about my first crush is that I tied him rakhi (thread tied by sisters on their brothers’ wrist on special occasion in india) I was in class 2 when I had my first crush on a boy in my class he and i used to sit on the same bench. He was the cutest(though I was too little to even know what the word cute meant) i wanted his attention all the time and to my luck he used to even give (atleast that’s what I thought).I used to like him so much..to the point where I thought of writing a love letter to him and as kids do i had to do this stupidity anyhow and i wrote him a full blown love letter with so many I love you’s that I could barely count and at the end I wrote with love From Ampi(my bestfriend at that time)I mean kill me it’s so embarrassing and the next day in class i took the paper out he was right there he saw the paper asked me what it was and i did something which made him suspicious i took the paper told him he don’t have to bother, crumpled it and threw it in the dustbin..he being an asshole went to the dustbin took the paper and read it lol thank God Ampi was absent that day ..i told him not to tell her as she would be embarrassed that he knew she liked him and that’s how it ended the next raksha bandhan i tied him rakhi as I didn’t know what I should do to keep him near me always it’s been 12 years now and we still talk someday and till date he doesn’t know that was me and not Ampi. Should I be telling him? Though it doesn’t matter anymore.
What countries do you want to visit?
I have always wanted to visit Europe.European countryside fascinates me so much I wish to explore every corner of that beautiful continent and why not!? by god’s grace I might some day.
