Bringing Change

This year began with a determination of I will change things about me; and when i thought of what I wanted to change, loosing weight and being fit was the first on the list. So, there I go with a strong determination to loose weight before I go home in March. I have 7 weeks to sort myself out. I thought of joining a gym, but that dint really happen, coz most of the gym's are on a contract and i am totally jinxed about making any such commitment due to past experience.

So ya i started off with dieting, no no... i am not off food but then really watching what I eat. I am off fried food, potatoes, peas, carrots and paneer, pizzas. I have started having regular breakfast, including a lot of greens and veggies in my food, switching to skimmed milk and wheat-bran rotis. Trust me this is not depressing food in fact i feel healthy and light. Its about 2 weeks and i am going strong with this :)

Have another 5 weeks to go and lets see where i get after that!

From Challenges to Smiles

Guess it was a best day of my life as a leader and supporter. I was trying to nurture V in faith, and oh boy! what an amazing journey it was... a struggle between heart and practicality of life during these few month I felt like a sister, a mom, a friend and a member in supporting V. There were days that I got irritated, impatient and I just wished for him to stand up and be truly happy.

He challenged all us (my fellow leaders and me) to be a leader and support people. He dint let me give up on him. Had I done that he would have failed and so would I. He brought me closer to the gohonzon, closer to myself.

And my joy had no bounds when I actually saw him receiving his Gohonzon and sharing his experience.



Thanks V for being a part of us, for the struggles and joy.

An eye opener !!

OMG !!!! is the feeling that i get when i look back. A whole year went by and i don't know how... 2009 feels incomplete. Feels like have clouded myself with my own negativity and gave into my own weakness. The result of it i became complacent and dint really care about my own self. It was not so long before V made me realise that i have stopped enjoying to write, cook, venture things and kept blaming my environment in short i had stopped living life and accepting challenges.
So... before it gets to late in this new year. I would like to say "I decide" fulfill my dreams this year. Be fit and active :)
