Experiencing & Learning

  So the journey so far is no less than a roller coaster ride. When you sit in the front seat of the roller coaster and the way you feel, those tiny butterflies in your stomach leave you nowhere, and then the ride starts and you just close your eyes and the thrill you feel while riding and in no time you complete your ride and you are in shock that you just did it and you didn’t even realize. Yes, exactly that feeling with those emotions, I felt. Coming to the USA has not always been my dream, it has developed over time when I saw people going abroad and living their beautiful life. I craved it as I am a person who is career-oriented and dream-driven. I never imagined going abroad even in my dreams, I always dreamt of having the best career in India but when I started dreaming about it,  it just seemed impossible as I didn’t have that financial capacity or not any other sources to afford even roaming around in my country itself.  When I dreamt of going abroad then w...

So I thought to relive one of those nights from my childhood. So here is the small story. I was never thin in my entire life; I always used to be a chubby kid and have been a foodie since the day I was born; lol. So this food love I couldn’t resist back then and now as well, but now I am more conscious about my eating habits and what I eat particularly but only when I am on diet. So today all of a sudden I recalled my old self, my childhood when I used to be like 15-16-17(age) I guess. I still remember I was in high school and I used to love to eat a lot and watch television. My whole days used to spend on just two of these and the rest of the time studying. I exactly know the reason why I had become so fat. I was too young to understand eating healthy and fitness and all the terms. So when my parents go to sleep I used to lock their door from the outside and turn on the gas and peel off the potatoes and just boil them with the salt and, then just eat it while watching tv. I still re...

Me and Dhrupal (a friend from college) often used to say we will be married till the 25 and we were too firm on this opinion of ours. Not only that we used to judge our professors who were not married at the age of 26-27 that why they are not married yet or maybe they haven’t found the right one yet. I am telling this because just yesterday I was sitting with my parents and we were discussing that next month they will be completing their 28 th wedding anniversary and soon after that we have realized that I am gonna be 27 in the coming September. I was like whattttttttt, though I knew this deep down but; there’s this thing all of sudden you realize something that you already know and then there is no end of thoughts. So how does it feel like to be turning 27? When I was 22 or 23, I had plans for my future and they were so firm that I was like life will be sorted after 25, both personal and professional. But here I am still figuring out both. I still don’t know what I want from my life a...

 As we all know doing exercise on a daily basis is crucial to living a healthy, wealthy, and disease-free life and still, we are ignoring it on daily basis and get hunted by various diseases. If we do have a chance to be disease-free then what’s so important there that we keep neglecting the most important part of our life, I would say LIFE only. So I would like to propose you a gift in a form of exercise. As a physical therapist, I will give you some scientific knowledge as well as how to do proper exercises with maintaining proper posture so that there won’t be any chances of injuries. So let’s start with the most basic though crucial exercise that we all know about but have never tried to do. It’s a very fascinating exercise and needs to have a bit of strength. No further delay to reveal this exercise, it’s the PUSH-UP. What is PUSH-UP and how do we do that? Push-ups are commonly used for dynamic warm-ups, as an alternative to traditional weight training. In addition, push-ups a...

  As many of you saw how I have transformed in such a way, so I thought to share my journey with you guys. First things first I am a big foodie and have a sweet tooth. I was never a thin kid, since the day I was born I was a chubby kid. You can say neither I was skinny nor I was fat. Till the 7 th grade, I had been like this but after getting into secondary I had started eating like anything. In the morning my mother never used to send me to school without having breakfast and in that, as we are a Gujarati family I used to eat whole Bhakri( a thick, crispy chapati made up of wheat flour) and a cup of tea. Then in school, while having a morning break me and my friends always used to go to the canteen and have Puffs and samosa and after that anything to chew. Then again at home lunch in which I used to have 4-5 chapatis and a bowl of sabzi. This was until 10 th and I started gaining weight like anything. I still remember in the & th grade I was 49 kgs and after 10 I became 85-8...

  She used to say broken is always beautiful and she used to think that broken will be fixed but never be whole again. But as life gave her many experiences and she has learned so many things from her experiences that she has realized you can always be whole again but every next time with more strength, more beautiful and more courageous and dynamic than ever before. Her heart has been broken so many times with so many tiny, huge attacks. And it is not always about that particular person, it could be anyone or anything. It doesn’t mean it just includes the love, it includes any of the random comments from any random person or loved ones, actions, gestures, etc., and her heart was fallen into thousands of pieces that no one ever could fix, and it was true. Rather than being the ideal person who has to follow the ideal path like not affecting by anyone or anything and being on your own, not having any expectations, she chose to accept what she felt and overcame those hurdles.  "...
