Experiment with Control

It’s a week now I have abandoned fb.. I had asked my friend to change the password .. well there is nothing a great deal about doing it… this is what I realized when I actually did so… Fb addiction was severe to me.. first thing after getting up.. first thing after coming home was fb.. Sometimes thr was really nothing , but to be signed in and scroll up and down.. so decided to take a break from this so called obsession.. I thought this would be a tough job but actually it did not..
Well this is not the first thing I did.. It was a month’s target to give up sandwich or “NO clothes shopping month” or “NO pizza month” or “No outside food month”.. I declare a month a week and give up my latest addictive habits..
Sometimes we make our life so dependent and mechanical and these small breaks make us more creative or rather active sometimes.. One month No shopping of clothes helped me buy some pending things for the house, or No sandwich month made me more active and I used to carry my breakfast tiffin with me instead of calling the restaurant and ordering sandwich.. After office food was changed to juices or early dinner instead of pizzas.. Slowly u keep a control on ur bad habits.. well totally changing the habits does not happen in one month but there is always u can try
I always notice the difference and say to myself “See it is not difficult, then why is the obsessions”
I know there is phase where we get addicted to certain things which changes with age, environment, people around us so on and so for, like being online on gtlk was a must thing with my friends nowadays it do not happen and we have healthily accepted it…
But these kind of small breaks diverts ur mind and refreshes.. and sometimes u may also give up ur rigid bad habits with these baby steps.
Try this experiments with control and then treat urself for controlling as “Control is Power"Thursday, May 12, 2011
Why losing weight has become important for me.... .
Well i too have fallen in the same category of not liking to be called as fat...... moreover if someone says something to me i feel nervous and feel less confident about myself.. which is "SO NOT ME"...
I too have taken my "fitness" very seriously.. please note "fitness"and not just "weight loss".. once i was a dancer and had a flexible body.. but all that is away because I have not cared about it so much... but the taunts and few comments has got into my nerves and i said to myself.. let me take the words seriously and let me get back on what i was... however losing wieght is not the aim... being in shape and flexible is more realistic... i dont want to lose my chubby cheeks... some extra portion on hips and some extra portion of three tyres forming dats it... it is okay if i weigh the same as I am now...
I brainstormed myself for why do i have to lose my weight... just to show ppl and get some good comments... or following the trend... if i go with these objectives... i am sure it would not last longer and also doing for somebody else is not correct as you need to be convivnced about what you want to do... it is important when you make a goal you have a strong motivating factor behind it.. an objective.... it helps you to set realistic targets than to just get carried away by the trend...
So my aim of losing weight is too avoid health problems, feel more energetic and get my confidence back of having acheived something...
Let me know your losing weight targets if you have any... even if you dont.. doesnt matter.. but do love and care your body :) After all the body do comes with a wear and tear...Understand your needs first and set your "fitness" targets.. Rather than just being guilty and worried take some positive actions to work upon it..... thats the only way you conquer the negativity in you...
Love yourself always!!!

Help you here please!!!

After a long time, I am meeting my blog area, Dont know what had happened or why i Did not get time to think of it, too busy to get a leave...
Whr m i the other days, when nt home, leave from whr??? Leave from work.. Mc DOnald's!! hmm something known right. Whr you always find people around of all age groups, music, ballons, kids, and people smiling and shouting help you here please,
Yes past six months I am employed at Mc Donald's as Crew member handling "Till" (Front Counter). Getting a job in Belfast is difficult, local experience, qualification etc list is endless to hook on a simple office job. But we have to start with something so I started with Mc DOnald's just to be busy and start a income or earning Queen's :P to be honest. September 17th two imp things on this day, my first job in UK and one of my best friend's b'day, the first day was signing the documents, getting the uniform, completing the orientation so on and so for. Saturday was the day when i was given a counter and one girl who would train me and back me... Sarah told me about very basic things, on till, fryer station, ice creams and she told me how to tke the order, how to get the food. Beleive me I was not kniwing wht kind of food is served at Mc, wht are the burgers, what are the varieties, When I look back i really wonder when and how did I manage these things... Every alternate thursday my account is credited with some amount in which basic kharcha nikalta hai.. And I have enjoyed my each and every day at Mc which is so different.
I served the gap busters (gap busters- the one who checks the quaity for store) like four times and recieve two awards of EMployee of the Month and Employee of the Quarter..
After receiveing my award I noticed one thing that if you are enjoying your work and do it honestly you are appreciated everywhere... no matter if that field belongs to you or not.
Working at mc has always been good, as it is fun everyday a new day, you hv to be on ur toes all the time, no time to rest other than breaks... so day goes like just easily with smiling, greeting, running here and thr, shouting for the food total chaos i must say...
Howerver my education is not needed here, I am missing the office environment wearing differnt clothes everyday travelling, working on pc, emails, following up emails, stinkers etc etc
I really want to get into my HR Psychology field... So keep praying to get soon...

Does this happen to you...

Enter the shop just for window shopping and end up buying things which u may or may not require... especially it happens to me for clothes... i like something i try... i check the price or check the price then try.. keep it back on the rack saying i have the same style ..then look at it... and come out of the shop and again go back thinking i should buy it i cant get it in same price or the colour or the style... and end up buying it...I am the one whose husband is now scared of me window shopping or entering any shop... Ofcourse not everything i buy is a waste but most of them may be not required at that time... since December last week this shopping has reached its peak almost every week i buy a new top and say it to myself i should rather save and buy some different things or accessories or just should not.. but believe me i cant resist..
I think if i start resisting half of my problems will be solved. Because i cant resist i spend money and also put on weight.. Ohh the second thing which i have to resist for ... I cant eat just one... only one then i will stop.. or its okay i will work out hard today at the gym.. i love chips the typical Indian waffers, roadside chat or wadapav.. I was happy that these things are not sold here whr m living nw.. fortunately or unfortunately i got a work place which should be so not for me.. everyday i decide not to have the french fries.. i did pushed myself bck for three weeks but nw bck to the old habit of hogging.. I also got the chips which are very close to waffers.. n now i hve it every alternate day... saying it is okay nwadays i work out.. :P
i guess the list will be endless of what we just TRY but never resist... but just wnted to ask you .. Does this happen to you...

Win the fat War!

Each one of us always dream about having sexy figure, losing few extra pounds to look good, or just need to have to lose weight because of doctor’s suggestions.. U try n try but often fail!!. It is difficult to sustain your hunger for the delicacies or may be for the junk food. Each one of us is aware of the problems faced by the weight gain, but has everybody has taken seriously? And have they maintained a habit?
Well losing weight does not come from eating less or has to have diet chart or has to work out for hours and hours, it is cumulative effort of eating but eating smart, exercising just to get yourself moving and energetic.
I am following few tips which I have read in the book of “Win the Fat War” I am sharing with you and if I can do it, I am sure you too can, after all there is no foodie like me on this earth. But yes I am also a loser when it comes to losing weight, so jointly let’s work out something which is affordable and reasonable.
1. Believe in yourself
Write down the reasons why you want to slim down, it could be anything, just to fit in your favorite top, or it should not be a lethargic feeling to have a walk with your husband.. Anything.
This decision is about making yourself happy and not others happy. Real motivation comes from within.
Whatever reasons you come with, make a note and stick it where you can see, and keep on adding it as and when you think of a reason.
Once you make the decision to feel better, live healthier, or just to take good care, you will succeed. Believe in yourself! Thousands have done it, you too can!
2. Set the right goals
Goals can keep you motivated in right direction. The first rule to set gaols is to
a. Start Small – Have popcorns instead of potato chips or walk down instead f loading yourself in the cab, or auto.
As you start to feel better, you will be inspired to set loftier goals, You may give up potato chips completely, or increase you of number of hours in walkinghttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The second rule is
b. Write them down in front of you, this turns them from abstract thinking and make them real.
3. Eat More
Switch from two or three heavy meals to five or six mini meal. This keeps your metabolism revved up and burn calories, it often keeps your energy level up and always keep you moving
4. Eat Smart
Eating more can help you realize your weight –loss goals. But you have to be smart about it. The easiest and fastest way to teach you to eat smart is to keep a food diary. Write down exactly when, what, and how much did you eat, was the fries baked or deep fried, did you have milk of low fat? And so on..
Eating smart isn’t about eating boring tasteless meals- nor not eating at all, It’s about eating only when you are hungry, making healthful food choices, and controlling your portions. It is about being aware of why are you eating..

5. Get Moving
An active lifestyleis extremely importantfor everyone, regardless of wheter you have to lose weight or not. If you are launching an exercise program remember to start small. A walk today by five mins then increase a speed day in and day out, and also find out different activities which can give you an aerobic work out, try playing badminton with kids, dance and jump at home or anything which can make you feel happy.Also try different activities everyday to avoid boredom. Today ride a bicycle, tomorrow play tennis, then swim so on and so for..
6. Build a muscle
Aerobic exercise revs up your metabolism rate and improves your levelof fitness, it’s strength training that builds a muscle, that is important, as more the muscle you have higher is the rate of burning calories.
But you cant imagine yourself do go for a gym for that, no worries try at home, just 2 to 3 days a week and continued for 6 to 8 week gives you the best results. Go ahead and Start lifting.
7. Binge – Proof your life
What sorts of things cause you to overeat, reading your food diary can help you recognize and anticipate the emotions or situations that lead to your binges, as you become more and more aware, you will tend to avoid and find other nonfood sources of comfort.
8. Talk yourself thin
If one person on a weight loss program is good, then one person with partner must be better right? Once you find your weight loss buddy, tell the person what you expect. Are you looking for moral support, a work out partner..
9. Make Motivation easy
“What the heck one chocolate can’t hurt anything”, remember your list of reasons remove it and read it . Remember what you weighed when you started ad how many pounds you have lost, count how many more minutes you can run, walk or swim. Congratulate yourself on the job that you have done so far and adjust your goal to get what you want to be.
10. Reward yourself
All of us like to be recognized for what we do well. When you reward yourself for a job well done, you reinforce your belief in yourself an tell yourself that you are proud of yourself of what you have accomplished.. so go for shopping, go for a movie do what can give you the happiness when you start achieving your goal.
Few more tips would include
- Drink lots of Water
- Eat fruits
- Finish you dinner 2hrs before you sleep
- Enjoy, Smile and Be happy all the time
List is endless though!!
And do not forget to take a printout of this or ask me to email to start your “Fat war” from today..

"IKEA" Experience

Few years back i had heard of this name of IKEA, it is a huge mall... having everything.. . many of the things were brought from IKEA as well.. was excited to explore IKEA.. kyunki IKEA ke bare mein bahut "Aikya" ( heard a lott).
I saw IKEA when i got out of the Airport so that was the first thing i saw of the city. imeediately i told myself that i hve to go here at some day... few of our friends plan evetually for IKEA.
IKEA as defined was indeed a huge set up.. and i think that is the reason they choose a place in the outskirts to built up a huge section we entered from one end n were out from the same place but the way it was deisgned was just amazing.
It was like going from one room to another.. drawing room, then following their arrows, we saw the dinning sets, then the kitchen, then bedroom, then childern, n the warehouse.. beleive me you have to go according to thier arrows only...
Every room had initial readymade available sets, if you like the whole set then go for it, or if you want to pick up a small idea or small thing you can go for that either.. every section ends with the items displaying with available colours, combinations, and varieties..
Ideas are just booming out at IKEA..
You need a salt, pepper,cumin seeds etc, if you have magnetic ruler, and bottles made up of steel lid and plastic which sticks to that rules and they are placed near to coking area, so handy to pull it sprinkle and put it back.. and something unique.. put tisues, straws and things which needs to be handy if not kept properly gives abad look so how bout having cups on the wall
Or a wooded frame, you can put cane baskets, or clth baskets and use it as a cupboard or just a dumping space but yet drawers..
Every single thing is taken care in IKEA, you are provided with pencils, rough paper,s measuring tapes, shopping list to right down the catalogue no. so that you can pick it from the warehouse.....so you can go with an empty mind and fillin with loads of ideas and creativity..
I am sure ths could be a common experince of going to some huge mall and set up things for hme.. but belive me guys IKEA can bring a difference
IKEA are the initiator in setting up these things..
Visit thier websites and or just google about the history... and pray IKEA should just near to your place..

Monsoons...
Geographically it should be hot before rains but here that pattern are not followed when surfed the net this is what they had to say…
“It’s a combination of the gulf stream and the east Greenland current (see reference for map) the super cooling of the gulf stream causes condensation in the air witch result its high humidity, fog and precipitation.”
It does rain anytime but these rains are harmless, they are not heavy, it is just drizzling or just a shower u would hardly listen to lightning or thunders… U cannot enjoy the rains here as they are not alone, they carry a cool breeze which is difficult to sustain unless u carry a bottle of whisky or rum which gives the internal warmth to your body or just smoke… and moreover they are like a everyday story…
In India it is not the case.. Rainy season is a boon to all Indians as 70% of Indian occupation is agriculture. Mind is just refreshed when u smell the wet soil. Or waiting to have garam bhaji pav or wada pav and roadside tea… there are dedicated three to four months for us to use umbrellas, windcheaters or rainy shoes.. to plan for rainy trips in the natural water falls or trekking … for the muddy football matches or to hog a butta while walking in the rains.. these things are only observed in India.
Of course rains here are not messy and neither they cause any water logging problems or flooding or power cuts unlike India.. but I guess Indians enjoy these messy things at least for three four months..

Missed the raksha bandhan!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the statement when kedar my brother called up n told me today is rakhi pournima, tula pournima disat nahi ka… (Can’t u c d full moon today). A small fight followed by a sweet conversation!! After this phone call I stranded for the moment and the memories of all my childhood flashed in front of me… my brother told me few cousins were coming at home for this auspicious occasion n kedar had purposely invited all of them so that he had somebody to tie a the sacred thread. Well this sacred thread actually means nothing beyond an official day for taking a gift, as we really know that our brothers are going to be with us forever in whichever way we need them. But tying a knot reminded us that he is the person whom we can trust upon…
I remember making the naralwadi (coconut cakes), narali bhaat (sweet rice garnished with coconut) and giving kedar a surprise of the sweets and force him to say it is good and I m the best cook. Searching for the rakhee the best dark colour which will suit on fairest hands, so selecting colours like magenta, maroon, aqua, brown, earthy but the design used to be the typical the gonda and silkish thread.
Renu one of my sisters always used to come day before for the stay over. Getting up early in the morning and then convincing kedar for oil massage. This is the tradition that every sister will give him a small oil massage. Kedar used to hate this as we used to put so much oil that he would rather need an hour for his bath to remove the oil from his body.
Followed by the bath we used to have this session of “ovalna”, aarti utarna, again fighting on the smallest issue of “please kunku motha avu nakos”, meaning do not put the tika or tilak to big on his fore head. I used to obey that but renu never… The gift was always something unique and beautiful like pocket money, clothes, a bag, jewellery set etc. Though it is not the tradition of giving something back to brother but I sed to give him a return gift as many times his b’day used to be somewhere nearby so I used to make a point of giftinh him something or the rather and Renu also
Many times it had happened that I and kedar has fought so hard that we swear of not tying the rakhi and him not getting tied from me. But it never happened that way. The apologies were not shared but we used to resolve our fights without saying sorry. We often used to go out for a dinner with other cousins. So it used to be a nice brother sister day.
This year it did not happen that way, I missed everything mentioned above. I missed the rakhi festival. Well I also realize that festivals and celebrations mean a lot in somebody’s life otherwise life is too mundane and monotonous.
Nevertheless life never stops so should we never and getting depressed is neither a solution for this. So I have decided to learn enjoy the missing for somebody or something!

Being a Nomad!
In my one and half years of marriage i have been relocating to places. We started our life with in laws at badlapur, due to some reasons we had to shift to Koperkhairane. we rented a house and started our living..setting up new house, selction of furniture, new kithcen applicances.
It starts with process of budgeting.. how much money can we spend... searching for agenets who can offer a best deal to us in our budget and also cater to our needs of good locality, less of deposit, security, commutability.
When we were searching in India we had surfed www.sulekha.com. we just registered our details n the next moment we started gettting calls from various agents. Coming from office and look for the property. I remember it was rainy season n we used to get irritated with the rains, but we managed to finalised the deal within two days. This was the first major step of our life. We had absolutely no furniture no kitchen appliances to start. So it was a start from zero, we just carried our clothes and two bedside cupboards along with us. All our furniture was designed and bought from Ulhasnagar. Ulhasnagar is cheapest source available to fulfill the basic requirement of house. We booked our sofa set, wardrobe, few extra cupboard etc. We did not go for a bed as we were sure that soon we will be moving to our own house which was under construction. So only basic and minimal requirement was taken care. We were happy that we managed it gracefully.

After few months settling things, we decided to move to Uk for a turn in our life, so again it was packing and unpacking of things. All that we had bought had to be sold out as our own house was not ready to move the furniture. So we sold out our furniture and moved to Badlapur before flying. We were back with the same things of clothes and bedside cupboards only one thing was new the set kitchen.
We started with the same story of searching an acomodation, the parameters were the same, budget, security, commutability etc. Gumtree Uk official solution website. We did surfed a lot on various sites. Luckily we got a best deal. And we shifted to UK in a new location with new people. We did not even had our jobs, so it was again a fresh start and in the new country and a new city.

In a span of one month, when we manage to settle again, Sanju got a job. Job company was awesome, work profile was challenging but the major twist was the relocation to yet another new country and new city. And now these days I am busy with the same search with same parameters.
Although it has taught me many new things, like deciding on location with google maps, how to get our exact needs,taking care of the wieght of luggage so what to buy what to avoid, how agressive and quick we should be in dealing with real estate etc. etc.
In this process of changing, relocating there is tensions, and a fear of how and where will we live, we spent money which we cannot avoid,packing things all that you have arranged it nicely and discarding things because sometimes you just can't carry, but there is an excitement for yet another new phase.
With everybody's blessings we did overcome these steps nicely and I am sure we continue as it is my strong belief that good things happen to good people. There are hurdles, problems but always for the betterment. So keep moving in life always and welcome everything that comes to your way.
And there is one more sure relocation which is going to take place of moving into our own house but god only knows when and before that how many..
I will always say.. yet another relocation.
