Once upon a time....

Dear Blog,

How are you? It must be your lucky day as I am writing to you sooner than you would have thought. Actually it is sooner than I would have thought. Lol. I made a little funny.lol. So what’s up Blog? Well I am back in good old Horsham, United Kingdom. You would think that I miss home, but I do not miss New Jersey as much. But of course I miss the people. I miss my mom , dad, brother, my friends, and of course my Cheeru. But what can be done. This is the test of my life this year and I need to pass. It is for my sanity . It is so that I know that things will be okay. I never want to feel dependent on anyone, thought I LOVE everyone with all my heart and mind.

Love and the Mind. How do we control the two? Are they ever in sync? We can not control how we feel nor can we control what our thoughts are. It is good to have to have some personal opinions especially because these thoughts and opinions make a person who they are. If I like to be adventurous and do not like Republicans, that is totally my choice. We can all laugh at it but the end of the day, my independence and my mind are mine.

Keeping one’s individuality is very important in life. You never want to feel as though you are follower or are doing something for someone else. It is nice to sometime do little tasks because it will make someone else happy, but as a rule of thumb always do makes you happy. Your happiness is always the other person’s happiness and vice versa. I have a friend who is trying to have a baby because it will make the baby happy, but what is she wants. She wants to be financially secure before starting a family.

Yesterday , I realized that it is very important to very faith and hope in GOD , life, and the people you love. It gives one a purpose or a well enough reason for acting the way they do . Always keep faith, it can drive a looooooooong way . More than one can imagine.

Okay, this tends to seem like never ending blog especially since I keep getting interrupted at work. So today, I am finally getting some time to myself. Wowie !!! I realized today that being happy is very important part of one’s life. People should take life with great importance. I think one of the things that I need to learn to do is not work things personally. These people mean nothing to me , other than some of the friends that I have made. Everyone tries to watch their back and support themselves. So why not us.

I also learned today that people are ignorant. People like to think they are very smart and make rude comments to hurt others. But it is okay because GOD knows the truth and why things are done. My rule of thumb is to always ask questions before making a judgement and that goes to everyone not just family and friends.
I am so much stronger than that and not let some stupidity and ignorance bother me.

So now I am fasting for nine days of Navratri. Not only because I want to , but I want to feel good. Giving up food for nine days is not going to kill us. It is about knowing that there are tone of people out there who do not have fed, it is about appreciating GOD and praying and thanking for the food that we have. It is mainly about appreciation overall. I thought these nine days will be hard. But it is not hard at all. My focus is elsewhere and therefore food is not priority.

Gotta go for now. Love you,
