FRIENDSHIP

Friendship means the world to me

Worry and boredom from life it sets me free

Friends are the priceless jewels adroned in my heart

While keeping friends is indeed an art

What would be my life without pals ?

Do you understand my dear gals?

While I am a good friend to many

Have some who treat me as fenny

While I always wish them the very best

Since they have turned my life to a fest

God bless my dear friends always with cheer

Almighty is with you, so dont ever fear

Love you all my dear friends

Happiness:

Happiness is in it the ingredients of love, compassion, content and peace. But either one of these characteristics, whether acquired, innately gifted or shared can transform oneself to a HAPPY BEING. Relying on another person for one's happiness is nothing but utter foolishness. I have found a new leaf of happiness which I am wallowing in. I have made peace within myself and have started seeing life in a different perspective, which is giving me immense happiness. Let me spread the same happiness to my near and dear ones.

You!

You are the reason for a smile on my lips

You are the reason for a tear in my eyes

You lift me through testing times

You drown me in your love

You are everything to me that I always longed for

Nature - You and Me

Whenever the Sun shines, I can feel your warmth

Whenever I enjoy a whiff of fresh air, I feel you are engulfing me in your arms

Whenever I see a flower bloom, I feel you are praising my beauty

Whenever I enjoy the scent of a flower, I feel your presence around me

Whenever I feel the petal of a flower, I feel the softness in your touch

Whenever I watch the sky, I experience the unfathomable love you have for me

Whenever I see the rainbow, I feel the colors you painted my life with

Whenever I see the stars, I feel the gesticulation of your greeting

Whenever I see my shadow, I see your reflection in it as you are always with me

Whenever I see the rain, I feel you are showering me your love

Whenever I see the ocean, I feel the expanse of your affection for me

All the forms of nature remind me of our mutual love. Let our love last as long as NATURE exists on the face of this earth.

The Power of Change

I have never experienced this feeling of transcendence of having won over my own self. I was the one who never had the nerve to opt for a change (change is always an evident option available to anyone who is focusing on results). That was because of a fear of facing the unknown, to come out of my self imposed cocoon of diffidence. Then came a moment when an unnerving instance in my cerebrum triggered off an instant reaction that called for a change, a change to subvert monotony and tread the path of a challenge. It was then that I called it “quits” to my current state of mind to alleviate myself to a higher plane, working towards CHANGE! This step in the direction of change brought out the best in me. I never ever imagined that I am blessed with so many acceptable traits. Of course, I am blessed to have the unconditional support of my close family. Thanks to one and all who are instrumental in my success. Now I truly believe in the adage “If you focus on results, you will not change and if you focus on change, you will get results”. I am now a stronger person, with a clear sense of direction. The most important trait that I see myself equipped with now is that I am now a confident person, craving to take on many more challenges in life, both professional and personal too. Change which is inevitable has brought with it a fragrance of positive thinking in me and opened many doors for success. I embraced change with a smile, with a hope to give that change the best in me to raise me to another level of CHANGE!

FITNESS AND ME

How do I motivate myself for weight loss:

My day is incomplete without my 20 minute walking regime! I hit to the park nearby in my layout to have a 20 minute typical "me time"!!! I look at it as the only time I have when I live for myself, and do something that will give ME immense happiness and contentment.

Obesity is plaguing the society at large posing myriad health problems. Sedentary life styles coupled with erratic eating habits are the factors contributing to this menace. In addition to these, stress tops the list of factors, in this era of economic downturn. Binging on fried and fast foods and small eats and not sticking to a time regime for food are also some of the contributors to this global epidemic. Epidemic is an apt phrase since this complication comes with it a volley of related health ailments, namely: lethargy, diabetes, blood pressure, arthritis and last but not the least coronary complications. Hence apart from the superifical benefits of glowing skin, internal benefits of losing weight are So efforts need to be focused on eating healthy and remaining fit. These are my driving forces to keep myself fit and lose weight.

A healthy person is not only fit physically, but also experiences sanity, even in the most trying situations. Hence any move towards wholistic fitness would be a motivator for me to strive to keep fit.

The mind rules the body, so goes a saying. When the mind is the control center to all the organs, hormones are released by the brain depending on our state of mind. Many feel good hormones are released when the body's metabolic rate is at its peak. These hormones which are released on enercising and during any physical exersion, aid in beating stress. Hence an increased level of such hormones is a boon to our body and hence an advocate to exercise!

Obese women in an attempt to wrap their unwanted fat are always seen draping themselves in loose outfits, which makes them look clumpsy at times. Hence my motivation to lose weight would be to flaunt well-fit attires!

Bones are the worst hit when it comes to bearing heavy body weight. Losing weight would reduce the strain on bones, thus delaying the advent of arthritis, even during the natural process of wear and tear.
