Begin Today #Prerna #BlogchatterA2Z

Do you value time ?

Most of us live as if we have an unlimited time on this earth to do all the things we want to do or we should do so as to have a rewarding life . So we keep procrastinating and put our dreams on hold and we continue with daily life chores that keep us all the time busy . We many times make the excuse ” Time hi nahi hai “

How much time is left in your Life ? Do you know ?

How old are you today ? In your thirtees or forties ? Imagine yourself ten years back . You had some dreams at that time which you wanted to fulfill . You had some goals .  May be you wanted to inculcate a new habit in your life . If you look today then what do you notice ? Have those dreams been fulfilled ? Did you work efficiently towards your goals ?Have these years made you embrace any new habit ?
value of time
Let me give  my own example . Ten years ago I came into contact with a religious organization ISKCON which emphasizes on the love of God via  chanting of hare krishna mantra . That’s a way of meditation – a way of focussing the mind on the vibrational sound.  I really found it to be peaceful and wanted it to become a  part of my life . I tried it for few months , but after that i gave the same excuse “Time hi nahi hai “
Today I think if I could continue that meditation for all these 10 years , how  powerful spiritual strength  would there have been  in my life by now  . How much peace , contentment i could attain and also relief from stress and unwanted habits .
That means I have wasted these ten years – just because i thought I had unlimited time . I am not allowed to show any regrets now , after all it was I who wasted the precious time of my life . What is my future plan now ? Should I  procrastinate again for say another ten years? Do I again want to make regrets after few years ? Or should I start working  towards my unfulfilled desires or goals today onwards ?

Understand the value of Time

 Everyone on this earth has been allotted a fixed time on this earth  . We don’t know when the last day of our life would knock all of a sudden . So we must develop a keen sense of awareness about our time .  We must stop procrastinating and invest our time wisely in the activities which we really want out of life .
“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”  ― Mother Teresa
Effective Time management is what is important . Stop using the phrase “Time hi nahi hai ” because “time to kabhi hoga hi nahi” . If you want something in life – you may  never find time , you must make time . Know the value of Time .  You can’t hold on the time which is gone . So Begin Today.

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

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...

Mindfulness ki Aisi ki Taisi

 Two years ago I had written two posts about mindfulness on my blog . One was about what mindfulness is and other exclusively  about food mindfulness. Food mindfulness suggests that one gets conscious of one's food plate - check if the ingredients are high in carbs or low in proteins , check if you are consuming more sugary foods , keep a check that your breakfast plate should me fullest and dinner plate the lightest . There's lot to be checked you know . But point is that if i keep checking all this stuff ,how do i enjoy food ?  What's the harm if my cheese is  served as paneer butter masala ? Won't chole bhature mind if i have only dry chapati with moong dal ? And why these sprouts and salads  feel egoistic in being on top of food mindfulness? Kya gunaah kar diya humne agar cream salad kha liya ? After all it's a salad only .   And you know my breakfast plate just does not obey the rule of it being heaviest.  Instead the dinner plate gets jam p...
