What do you do ? ( blog marathon post no. 5)

-
Today is the first day of a new month, I have lots of expectations from this month.  I am trying hard to overcome negative thoughts bubbling up in my thinking pool, I am wishing and praying hard  that this month builds up as a peaceful, happy and fruitful month for one and all.  

Some days are smooth and shining like a pearl, some days transforms into dark tunnels and gobbles us up and we waver and stumble and navigate our way out of it with great difficulty. I usually overcome such days with prayer and positive thinking but my worrier mind keeps on going back to the issues which is stuck at the back of my mind and keeps bothering me throughout the day. 

What is your way of overcoming such days, do you pray? Listen to music or read a book and does your mind also go back to the issue time and again like mine or you are able to forget the issue , at least temporarily, tell me? May be  I can take some cues from you.

    Hmm prayer is definitely a good way to keep away negative thoughts. Here are a few I end up doing
    1. Count my blessings
    2. Think of pleasant stuff
    3. Get out of the current scene and take a walk or a coffee break
    4. Meet / call someone positive
    5. Engage myself into some activity that takes me away from the thoughts that bog me down. gardening, a good massage or read a book.

    Hope it helps ;-)

    It is always a good idea to pray when you are feeling low and having negative thoughts. I also like to listen to songs which make me think about the good times in my life. Another thing you can do is read a book and get engrossed in the character so that you will be totally diverted from your life and your worries. Hope this helps!

    nothing beats prayers and positive thinking. you are on the right track there. doing something productive gets me out of these moods. maybe help someone else. finding something to laugh about also helps. hang in there ss. change is the only thing that is constant in our lives. this too shall pass.

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

-
Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rol...

Nature - My childhood friend

-
This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
