Did you ever turn back ?

Iam always amazed the way we see people as we grow , physically , mentally and emotionally .

Parents to children of a very young age is a pain in the @$$ most of the time and especially when they have to say a "yes" or give permission . No extra chocolates , no fighting , no wrestling in the mud , no catching the guppies in the drain flowing with fresh rain water etc etc .
In short : I have the worst parents . Always saying NO !!

Parents to teenagers are a pain in numerous ways . Never give them enough pocket money , never enough time to stay late in the night , no parties , no travels outside the city with adult supervision , no wearing skimpy clothes ( for girls ) no alcohol and smoking etc etc .
In short :  When will I ever have a life on my own !! Cant wait to get out of here !!.

Parents to young working professionals , their pain starts being a burden , especially the ones where they are young , working and earning a ton of money more than their dad ever did in their lifetime and married with an equally professional and working wife . Financially need to support them , Look after them , can never have private time of your own , always a constant supervision by them and their parallel talks in each and every subject of decision in the house , no alcohol parties etc etc
In short : Goodness , can never have a private life !! Old age home is the best for them .

Its only once the kids hit somewhere in their early 30's ( that's if they have some human values left in them ) or    I can only hope when it is not too late they realize that this is a cycle every human being goes through no matter which nationality you are . Iam a believer that good or bad , you will see it in this life time . Nothing will be logged for you to "see" in an afterlife .
I did have terrible days as a kid , teenager &  young adult with my parents ,which at that time were blood boiling episodes . Now I have made peace for different instances and situations and see what my folks especially my mom saw . I have turned back . After Deepu ( my younger brother ) has passed away ( will be 2 years on Nov 13, 2013) my view on relationships , family , friends and foe have changed forever . Help and respect people when ever you can . Never hesitate to smile . Love your loved ones and parents as much as you can , be kind to animals , cause tomorrow you never know what can happen to you or them . My bro lived his life king size and I have a lot to learn from him .
Cheers !!

Health is Wealth

We have been told that our health is THE most important aspect of our body which should never be ignored because you never know what can creep up into you and wave the red flag .
This weekend we went cycling to one of the most beautiful trails I have ever seen and believe me , some of these trails , you have to see it to believe it . Its called the Little Miami trail and is about 60 miles , goes all the way from Newtown , Cincinnati  to Dayton . I will say it was a struggle in the beginning and then it was a matter of time before my legs were open to the idea for cycling :) Iam loving the fact that Iam exercising and finally will have a waist size lesser than my waistline and it does feel good to be in that sweet spot . I guess it is the beginning of a "stay fit " motto in the US and will continue to explore new trails and parks !!

Check out this link and you will know what Iam talking about :)

Hope of the unthinkable .

I have always been a heavy kid , plump , a large size in clothes , a foot size I could hardly unless it was from Bata . Iam thankful to that company even now . Its been 2 years since our marriage and Sachin runs hardcore and I wonder how did he do it ?? and the irony of the whole thing is I was in sports as a child !! and that too in athletics and rallies and hurdles . I always thought how did this bad health and lack of stamina creep into me like this . Its terribly sad that I let it happen to me .

On the brighter side now , I have started running . I havent reached upto his pace now , but Iam trying and I have lost weight , my  bum cheeks have shrunk , my thighs are not saying hello to each other everytime I walk and I can feel my tummy tucking in and have a flat feeling ( kinda ) . Its never late to start a health you want to . Iam a believer in it now , I was never a believer in it coz I thought it was an irreversible cycle until I did it myself . It wouldn't have been possible without Sachin's support and help and push and bugging me everytime we go for a run :)

love you loads my sexy !!
muaahh !!
