My list of Happiness.

Happiness is a state of mind.
If I am not happy, its because I haven't found the way to be happy.
I thought happiness is a result.
Result of something I do.
It's the product of hard work.
But now I feel different.
It is infact the only way one can change his/her own life from 'surviving' to 'living'.
If I am happy while working hard, I don't mind the end.
It doesn't matter if the end is positive or negative.
What I remember is how I felt about it.
I found a few things that helped me in achieving this state of mind.
And I made a list of them.
This list encompasses what I love doing and encourages me to keep doing it.
I haven't yet completely achieved it.
Might take a lifetime for it, but well, I can keep trying.
Appreciating smallest of joys.
Dressing up.
Writing.
Celebrating little achievements with a song and a dance.
Learning to let go off things that are hard to deal with.
Talking to a friend for hours.
Watching a movie.
Working out.
Eating good food.
These are just a few.
I want to make sure I do all of these, because whatever the end will be..will be.
What matters right now is my own state.
I still have to learn more about myself and what makes me happy.
And try doing them.
My agenda is to keep adding to this list.
My agenda is to work according to that list,
because this list carry's my joy, my happiness and my state of mind for the rest of my life.

Who am I?

Image
This question is a tough one. Who am I?  Not just for me I am sure.  When will I know? Will I ever know? or never know? Maybe I can start with the basics. I am Aishwarya and I am from India. I am currently living in a small town named Derby in England for my masters. Pursuing Dance Movement Psychotherapy. Sounds interesting? Indeed it is! The journey of knowing who I am is difficult. Its a confusion, hence I prefer to stick to the basics! Although I want to know who I am, maybe this is the way I can find?  Am I the only one who doesn't know the answer to the above question?  Maybe I am what my career is.. no, maybe I am what my demographics is..no,. maybe I am what my future is? Maybe I am what this blog is? I know. A lot of question marks. Its a fog out there.  For every human being who wants to know who you are, how about taking it slowly.. one step at a time. I am here to hold your hand. Because believe me, nobody knows..who they are! Picture from: https://m

Mistake #1

Image
Life is incomplete without mistakes. Some mistakes are healthy. Some still give me nightmares. However each one of them gave me some outlook. Some learning. Some knowledge. Taking about a mistake, Its still a part of my personality in some bits and corners.  Comparing.  Comparing myself with the world. Comparing myself with others. Comparing myself with 'ideal' norms. In this question of 'Who am I?', this mistake I know I make. I have compared myself to my sibling, to my girl friends, to my boy friends, to my colleagues. I wanted to be powerful like my brother. I wanted to be girly like her in late childhood. Smart in my 10th and 12th grade like many others in school. Thin like many others in teenage. Mature like a few in adulthood. I have tried being all of them. And every time I tried, I failed and gave myself a hard time. Beat myself to it. Sometimes still do.  In the situation, when i feel the need to compare myself to anyone.  I don't realize t

Youngster's deserve respect too!

Image
Since i was born, I have heard these lines. "Always respect your elders" "Always show respect to the elderly" We Indians have certain values that are taught to the kids in early years.  This is one of them. I always did so.  No matter what.  Every young kid I believe, has known this and has to abide by it without a word.  But Sometimes, I got disrespected and I couldn't speak a word about it.  I am sure every youngster goes through this once or twice in their life. "It is right because someone elder said so". For Eg: Youngsters most of the times give up their seat for the elder people. Nobody minds doing that. Because there is empathy.  But when a man changes his seat without consent to sit beside his relative, even when you have that seat booked in advance, and when asked for it, the man says "youngsters have no respect for elder's these days" that's tolerating. (I booked that seat in adv
