My First Blog - Start Off Something New

Hey all, this is my first blog.  As the title states, I am trying my hand at blogging. Why?, because I always get a feeling (all through these years )that when I speak, people turn into listeners. Well , don’t take me as condescending   here just that I am starting off with a confidence ! I love English and have a very bad habit of using heavy words now and then but, I have decided to keep my blog in as simple terms as possible . I plan to reflect my views and thought process based on daily experiences. I have been planning on this for like eternity now and am happy to finally see something posted.

We all want to “start off” with “something” all the time, but somehow don’t end up doing it ! I am no exception either. After shifting to US and staying in such a “sunny” place I have got an urge to wear lovely outfits available here, to the beachside, which girl wont feel like it J Now, blessed with a proper nice rounded Indian figure, I definitely looked as odd woman out among these pencil thin toned firangis . Result- it gave birth to my most awaited n longing desire to go to Gym. Now this thought has taken more than 2 years from conception to actual implementation.. (Staying in silicon valley does show traits in my writing too I guess :P, I am using project life cycle terms ). So how many of us, have gone through the same problem. One fine day we find our favourite pair of jeans don’t fit us and we decide “ Tomorrow is the day, I am gonna hit the gym”  well this is said to our self before hitting the bed which gets continued for a little bit longer say a day or two, umm week,  month, or worst an year. I am gonna stop eating sweets, I am gonna watch what I eat , I am gonna study regularly from today, I will watch my time schedule and leave office on time, I am gonna start my hobby today  …so on and so forth

At times these self projects get self decided target dates to start off… like New year---famously called as resolutions ,which are still honoured when broken.. how ironic . Or say some hindu festival like Ugadi/Padwa, Diwali etc. Its human nature to procrastinate as much as possible. Nothing wrong in it.  We humans never realize the importance of things in life till we lose them.. in my case it was “Me time” and “health” After becoming a mother, my whole life is devoted only for my LO(hubby comes next). So much that my LO cant stay without me for more than an hour …now this had to be broken somewhere and I had to get my personal time.. I hit the gym today and that one hour was like a total mental spa for me. I came out with a super duper workout glow on face, adrenaline rushing to all veins , the feeling that left me wondering: oh these veins ARE exsiting still. The walk back home was accompanied by a mild smile throughout ! What a simple 1 hour of exercise can do to you- Mentally, Emotionally and Physically !!

I think the problem here is only of “starting off” . The moment we begin something new, there are very high chances that we will follow it regularly. And that’s what I did today… Gymming and Blogging ! So I wud like to urge all you people to start off doing what has been lingering in your minds forever now ! And I bet finally, this is something which is “easier done than said” because you love doing it and you always wanted to do it. So get up and start off with that and let me know what it was…would love to get your feedback (on everything and anything)

Well incidently its Ram Navami today so lets say, good things started off on good day J

Look out for my next blog…Take care
