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 packed. Actually in the hurry of running to the office I am often not able to even pick a breakfast plate and then in the office when my stomach does gudgud i shift to bread pakoras in the canteen . To kya hogya , after all it's bread only -the healthy  brown bread you know - so what if it lovingly clunged on to spicy besan paste and both swimmed in hot oil to strengthen their bond ! One should always respect love . Right or not ? 

Once i got a trial plan of HealthifyMe in which you can track your foods and get custom diet plans . It suggested me to have oats in the breakfast followed by an apple in midmorning snack and afterwards dal, one roti, sabji and raita in lunch . I almost followed the diet plan you know . I had just tea in breakfast followed by two samosas and sugar tea in mid morning snack . As a colleague was giving  party that day , so I had dal makhani , karahi paneer and mix veg along with 2 butter naan . Oho ! how can i forget those yumilicious gulabjamun !

By God Food Mindfulness ki Aisi ki Taisi ho gyi !

I am writing this post as part of #BlogchatterA2Z month long writing festival and this is only for fun . I have no intention of  spreading any wrong views about  HealthifyMe

Zoning out and other tips to free your mind

Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone . The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful  emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak o...

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...
