The Ordinary Extraordinary

I used to think only the rich and famous led extraordinary lives, until I realized that everyday ordinary life can be lived in an extraordinary way. We just have to tune in to what we are blessed with and indulge fully in all that we do. I hope to share some of the things life has taught me and how I strive to make the ordinary, extraordinary!

A prayer for love, acceptance and fairness for all

A punjabi traditional dress

Our dreams, desires, feelings and aspiration are all the same. No one is above and no one is…

Conscious living: how its an unending affair

Thought on being conscious

Conscious or mindful living, is not a one time behaviour or pattern nor is it a linear growth process. It demands for awareness in every moment. Awareness of how we feel, how we act and how we react. It can help us dig deeper and get to the root of what pains us, what triggers us and what ignites us. The challenge is that we can be fully aware and…

True love is a little more than chocolates and roses

Of course, chocolates and roses are delightful but when life throws a curve ball you need a lot more to keep that love strong and alive. Continued from “Our Bollywood Style Love Story” (You may also want to read this). It was this hope in my heart that got me through to February of the following year. Living one day at a time, and hoping for the good news was…

How will you remember 2020

How will you remember 2020

It is my personal experience and belief that life is never good or bad. It is one continues process of experiences, lesson and growth. It is us humans who choose to label things as good or bad. When we choose to label, erase or push under the carpet the gentle whispers of life, we deny ourselves the opportunity to learn and live life in its highest and truest form. Instead…

The most memorable Christmas

It was the winter of 1984. Just before Christmas to be precise. The little town where I was staying with my father was bursting with excitement for the holiday season. The glistening white snow; the twinkling Christmas lights; the over stocked stores; hustle and bustle in the streets and my favourite Bing Cosby Christmas music should have all made me excited and joyful. But I was sad. I was sad…

Find beauty in letting go

Let go

We weigh ourselves down by holding onto all that doesn’t serve us. All the worries, the fears, the need to control, the grudges, the guilt, the failures, the let downs, the anxiety, etc., etc. We are meant to go through life experiences to learn, grow and move forward. Yet we hold onto all that happens almost as a grudge against life itself. We fail to realize life owes us nothing.…
