A Little Bit of Alexa in my life #MyfriendAlexa 2018

My name is Monika and now-a-days there is a song running in my mind all the time , really it vibrates in my head most of  the time whether I am doing some cooking or some other work or may be just lied on bed wanting to sleep. The song is   — A Little bit of Monika in my life ……..I am sure you have listened to it . I don’t remember the full song but just this tagline is enough to shake my head as soon as I am reminded of it .  Now it’s time to corelate the rhythm and make the tagline for the current month of September — A little bit of Alexa in my Life …….Let your heads dance to this !!

Well , as the month of September arrives , it brings along the much awaited blogging campaign #MyFriendAlexa by the team Blogchatter. I am participating in this blogging festival for the second consecutive year and today I am super excited to give it a start . Ready Steady Go……………During the coming few weeks ,there will be lots of reading , writing and sharing . Afterall these are the  things  which define blogging . Isn’t it ? No- No- not just sharing but caring too.

How was my #MyfriendAlexa 2017 journey ? What did I gain ? What did I loose ? Read here 

Coming to #MyfriendAlexa -What’s Alexa Rank  ? Well it is a ranking system by Amazon telling about the amount of traffic on a website or blog . And if it is #MyfriendAlexa , it sure proves out to be a true friend and helps increase your traffic , your readers and you get to find many online friends during  the journey.

What is my theme for #MyfriendAlexa2018 ?

Today all of us seem to have a very complex life . Everybody is busy , there is no time , we are rushing like mad unknowing of where we are heading , almost eighty percent of the time we are working somewhat like automated machines and it often happens that our minds are  running through a fog . We are working but our mind is wandering at home . We are eating food but we don’t enjoy the taste of what we are eating . We are driving but we are not fully alert rather the car or scooter just drives itself . I think we seem to forget living in the present , we seem to bypass   our present little  moments of happiness in the future worries and in the  hope of achieving something Big in life first and then become  happy . We have ourselves made our lives complex . We need to do something . Let’s try doing our bit in this September month .

For the  month long blogging festival  , I have decided a theme in which I would be sharing few thoughts ,  quotes or ideas which can help keeping your life simple and calm . My theme is:   #LetUsKISS . Yes Yes ! You read it right —KISS . But May be you haven’t got the right meaning of KISS here . By the word  KISS , I don’t mean the love , romance ,  or the touch which we give or receive from our loved ones , rather I am talking of the KISS Principle . It’s an acronym for KEEP IT SIMPLE But  SIGNIFICANT .

#LetUsKISS –Let us keep it Simple But Significant

Under #LetUsKISS , I would be sharing few posts with you which can help  in simplifying your life and being calm . After all , we all want to be calm and happy  , and the essence of happiness is Simplicity .

So stay hooked on to my blog  to read my posts under #LetusKISS . Let us keep our lives Simple ,Significant and Calm .

I am taking my Alexa to the next level with #MyfriendAlexa

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Uplift your mood

 My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a  burdened way. I tried watching some  movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of  some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad  mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite  long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood .  You need to find  your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic ,  playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...

I am getting Older day by day

 I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories......... I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others....... I have stopped looking daily into the mirror ....... I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ...... TV doesn't excite me as much now ....... My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook....... I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them....... Am i getting older day by day ? Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers; I love to spend money and time  on experiences now...... Only the fitness goals push me to  look into the mirror ..... I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart.  I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to  accept it..... I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ...... Am i getting older day by day ?  or  Am i getting freer day by day ?  I wish to be dre...
