happy living

The first and the foremost step to stop depressing thoughts are to Get In Action. Most of the time we just keep on pondering about things that we want to do in our life. But we hardly make an initiative to take action towards it. You need to transform your thoughts into action; then only you will be able to attain a sense of fulfillment within you.

Each and every single individual knows what they want to achieve in life and how can it be accomplished. Hard work is the key to every step in your life; it’s the only factor that will impel you to achieve your goals . Once you start working on the ways to keep yourself occupied by indulging in constructive work; then your mind will stop wondering hopeless thoughts.

Spice up your life by introducing different kinds of creative activities like sports, charity or any form of activity that involves you getting in touch with the nature. You will find a new “YOU” once you start engaging yourself in certain help aid for needy people.

Be thankful to god for what you have. Try to connect to your inner voice ; it will make you realize of how blessed you are, how strong you are and how stronger you can be to face any hurdle in your life. Never ever underestimate your capabilities. Believe in yourself that you and only you have the power to make or break you. Don’t let others curb your desire to be an achiever . It’s not an easy journey to transform your life, that’s where the fun lies, isn’t it?

Embrace the new you by driving away all the negative thoughts. Don’t be afraid to try something from which you have been running away because you fear of loosing. This time around change your approach. An idea of attempting something will make you realize your strengths and weaknesses. No matter you attain your goals or not; at least it will be a learning experience for you which will help you in formulating a different approach the next time around.

As we progress in life we realize that the support from our loved ones makes a huge difference. In order to do this, you should have a strong faith in your own abilities then only you can expect others to show faith in you.

I have shared my personal thoughts based entirely on my own experience. Over a period of time I have rediscovered myself. With each passing phase of my life I am uncovering a new chapter of my true self. It’s an empowering process of getting to know you’re self. I hope some of my thoughts will be of some help to others.

post pregnancy weight loss plan

Here I go – I have started planning on how to reduce post pregnancy weight gain . I know it will be difficult this time. That’s why I wannnnaaaaaaa make the whole weight loss plan fun. My point of view towards weight loss is simple. We tend to eat the wrong kind of food to soothe our emotions.

Whenever we are stressed out we choose emotional eating over healthy eating . Therefore, the whole idea of healthy eating requires us to find out ways to soothe your emotions so that you develop the right kind of healthy eating habits . This time my weight loss destination will take few months!

My son is my motivational factor this time!! After being a mom I feel stronger than ever before. I don’t know it’s a strange feeling but I feel a sense of strength to be more determined in whatever I try to do or achieve. It’s like as if I need to make him proud of having me as his mom! Sigh

I will try to increase my stamina to take out time to go out for an evening walk. As of now, my sleep deprivation is not letting me free to start my workout plan. Nonetheless, I will strive to reduce weight day by day and will give a weekly update of the progress.

Goddess Lakshmi On A meat Burger? What’s the message?

goddess lakshmi on a meat burger

I know the subject line is quite startling for all of you..it also captured my attention…
The add illustrates Goddess lakshmi on a meat burger and the catch phrase is “ A snack that is sacred”
Needless to say, the act has resulted into a lot of criticism. The point is - how can you associate the goddess with the whole idea of promotion? And what’s so sacred about a meat burger?

Honestly speaking, I didn’t like! I do agree I am also one of those millions of Indians who express our rage whenever we witness Indian Goddesses used for commercial publicity. Whenever any company has used any Indian goddesses it has caused an outcry among “We the Indians”– The last time I Saw the Images of Lord Rama on bikinis which were designed by Roberto Cavalli. Eventually, he had to pull out the whole stock from the market with an official apology.

Why Indians treat these kinds of acts as a heinous crime?

Cut The Crap You Page 3 Woman!

domestic violence

On the same day that Chris Brown is expected in court in Los Angeles over his alleged February 8 assault on Rihanna, the city’s Fox 11 News released what it claims are details of the search warrant in the case. According to Fox, the warrant provides details on the alleged altercation.

 

The warrant reportedly says that Rihanna and Brown were driving in his rented Lamborghini when Rihanna read him a three-page text message from an unidentified woman. An argument reportedly ensued. The report alleges that Brown tried to force Rihanna out of the car, but could not move her because she was wearing a seat belt.

TMZ reported that Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna’s head against the passenger window and, when she turned to face him, then allegedly struck her several times while driving, according to the search warrant. The alleged assault resulted in Rihanna’s blood splattering on the interior of the car and her dress.

 

At some point during the alleged altercation, Rihanna reportedly called one of her assistants and told her to call police, saying “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there,” to which Brown allegedly replied, “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you.” TMZ reported that Brown allegedly told Rihanna, “I’m going to beat the sh– out of you when we get home. You wait and see.” The site also reported that during the fight, Brown allegedly continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on the ear and her fingers, and put her in a headlock, almost causing her to lose consciousness.

 

The alleged verbal threats led to Brown’s arrest on the night of the Grammy Awards on suspicion of criminal threats; he was released on $50,000 bail and could be arraigned on Thursday (March 5). While Rihanna has never been identified as the victim in the case by police, a number of media outlets have said she was the woman with whom police allege Brown had an altercation; TMZ released a photo of a battered-looking Rihanna late last month.

 

Brown said he was “sorry and saddened” by the alleged incident, but has not made any further comments regarding what happened that night and his spokespeople have not returned calls for comment. Rihanna issued a statement saying she is “doing well” and thanked fans for their support.

rihana beaten up

I remember months back I had a discussion with this Page 3 lady who organized a group discussion with some of the foreign students. The topic of the discussion was how women in India get treated in the rural areas. How badly they get beaten up for no reason. Then she turned the discussion towards the Nithari Case . She went on and on and on in disgracing India’s image.

 

Needless to say, these are true incident’s that literally happens in India. BUT HOLD ON. Does it only happen in India? Do Indian women get beaten up in the rural parts of India only? Recent example of Chris Brown beating up Rihana like a peace of crap clearly proves that women get victimized by men in every part of the world.

 

 

The percentage of Domestic violence in the US is also shooting sky high. This is not the first case of brutality towards women , there are thousands of unregistered high profile cases where women are too afraid to come forward to share their story. And as far as stories like Nithari case is concerned. What about the many cases of serial killers in the US ? Or for that matter in any part of the world.

 

 

No matter in which part of the world it happens, indeed its unfortunate when human beings turn into monsters. So now coming back to that Page3 lady who was just highlighting the bad side of India – She was born and brought up in India. She has been living in India all her life. Why the hell is she still living in India if all she wants to depict is the bad side of India which she truly despises? All I wanna say to her is CUT the crap you page 3 woman.

 

 

Note: Fight against Domestic Violence. Don’t be afraid to fight for your own rights. There can’t be any justification in defending your actions of brutality towards your partner . The utmost important thing in a relationship is respect for each other. If that pillar is missing then there is no point in carrying the relationship forward.

What Would Be The Maximum Punishment For Child Rapists?

rape

A two-year-old girl was raped and later dumped in a gutter in a north-west suburb here, police said on Wednesday.

The incident took place on Monday night.

The girl along with her family members was sleeping on a pavement near the suburban Vile Parle railway station when she was taken away by some unknown person, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Niket Kaushik said adding, late in the night the kid’s mother noticed that she was missing.

A few hours later, the girl was spotted in a gutter near the highway and after being rescued by the fire-brigade was taken to a local hospital, Kaushik said.

The girl’s parents were then called to the hospital, he said.

"On medical examination it was learnt that the child had been raped," the DCP said, adding further investigations were on in the case.

  • Needless to say, this is not the first or the last time we have witnessed a crime like this.
  • In my view “Death Penalty ” is the only punishment that should be issued for predators like these. No amount of effort of rehabilitation or life in imprisonment can change deranged people like these.
  • The court doesn’t support “issuing a death penalty ” for this crime. That implies that a person who commits a horrific crime of rape will live in the maximum amount of security, will get food and shelter on whose expense? On our expense!
  • After a while the criminal will be released and once again one more chapter of this horrendous crime will be written of hunting innocent children/women.
  • Honestly speaking, I sometimes find it hard to reach to a conclusion on how these criminals should be prosecuted because even death penalty is an easy death.
  • Myths:-Some people think that people like these don’t have a family or children. Many child predators even raped their own daughters and cousins. Other myth is that they are mentally sick people, therefore chances are that rehabilitation can change them. I disagree with them based on what research concludes that child predators repeatedly commit rape.
  • I wish it was in my hands to decide the punishment for these deviant, deranged people. No amount of punishment would be enough for these criminals considering how the crime like “rape” does to the sufferer – the emotional and physical trauma last for ever.

Please share your views on what kind of punishment for child rapists should be decided by the court.
