Sams little world

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...

We meet a lot of people in our lives. Some like us while some hate us. But we must have met someone whom we despise and would do whatever it takes to avoid talking to that person. If we see them somewhere in public or in family functions we hide and wait for them to leave. I have had these people in my life and continue to meet such people in the present as well. Some reasons that I find very unattractive in a conversation 1. Asking too much personal information - We randomly meet a person in some event or function and they start asking everything that is there about you. This really puts things off and we tend to view that person as nosy and annoying. I'm sure we will meet these people atleast once in our lifetime. 2. Advising people we just met - I have been there and done that. Now I cringe when I think about it. Because of social media we have an illusion that we know someone even without meeting them a single time in real life. Eg: I have never met some of my husbands frien...

  It's been 2 years and there is a lot to share but I'll try to keep it simple. Meanwhile I hope you can take away some good things from here. WEDDING STORY: I had an arranged marriage as many of you know. The first time I met him I did not overthink it. He just looked calm and quiet (maybe shy or awkward). It was my first time that a prospective groom came to our house. I had nothing in my head. It was around April 2021. My sister said ‘he didn't look at you straight and maybe he isn't interested in the wedding’. I felt the same because when our families discussed future aspirations he said he wanted to do MBA and was waiting for results from IIM Lucknow. At that time I felt that if he converts IIM Lucknow, how will I go and live there for the next 2 years? I din't want to resign from my job. So we just waited for his results and he got rejected from IIML. It was sad but this is what led to our wedding 😂.  FIGHTS: Our fights were crazy back in the day. It was new ...

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

Hey guys it been a while since my last update on the blog. I recently did something to handle all the extra items I own. I know the major problem we face while decluttering is not knowing what to do with the items we own after we remove them from our cupboards and shelves. Some are old which we happily throwaway. Incase some are usable we donate them mostly to our house help. But what about the things that are in really good condition and expensive and we cant donate them or give them away as such. That is when selling them comes in our mind. We sold our old television to our maid which both useful to her plus we dint loose any money. But the what about certain good tech gadgets that we dont enjoy using or the function wear lehenga or certain good looking clothes you got on a vacation which dont fit you and you realized this after reaching home. Well I searched about this and the first suggestion I got was the famous olx. I'll talk about it later. Coming to my favorite app. It...

I live in Bangalore and we visited IKEA NAGASANDRA. We reached there via metro which was the fastest. We took the metro from JP Nagar (3kms from our place) and reached within 40 mins. We went there because few of his friends suggested the food there is amazing and we wanted to try that out. We went on the wrong day. SUNDAY. It was soo damn crowded. People were practically hugging each other to find place on the metro😂.   IKEA had 2 floors. Ground and first. It was our first time so we dint know much and went to first floor. They gave us a small notebook and a pencil and asked us to make a list of what we like. That is when we realised in first floor they set up spaces for inspiration will all IKEA products and we have to make a note of the product name or id. In the ground floor(Looked kinda like a warehouse) we can go and pick the same item up and bill it. I must be honest here. The spaces were so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I dont want to spoil the surprise of other sp...
