Calm before the storm

The vastness of the skies terrifies me.
The sound of the hungry seagulls baffles me.
Every pebble I stepped on seemed prettier than me.
But I know this search is beautiful,
as long as I stay calm before the storm.

This is my weight loss story and I won't recommend it

I have never wanted to be a Health blogger, boasting about ways to go vegan, feed on green fluids which tastes like an exploded veggie dynamite in your mouth.
But I have to do this, yes I used to be one of those females cutting off dairy, cutting off gluten, cutting off sugar and all the wonderful things from my life. Yes two months back I had the most paper thin body of all. And I did this all just to clear up my face. I went down to shocking 40kg! I was falling ill frequently.
The worst part, I was still so stubborn with my diet, I was happy with the fact that my face was clearing and that's when I started forgetting about my health. 
For my 25th birthday, it somehow struck me, that I had to stop this. I got so paper thin. It was then that I ended the months old diet.
I started feeding on cheese, meat, sugar. Clearly for the first few weeks I could see all the side effects on my skin, I thought no to bother and kept going. The following week, I  finally felt flesh on my body af…

Getting stoned and losing WISDOM

Image
Growing up I always thought I would end up as a writer. Not just any writer, a stoned writer! Now what are the odds, I have never smoked in my life and I did't end up being a writer either. I don't even enjoy drinking. I can handle a glass of wine occasionally. But that's it. The last time I was actually DRUNK, things didn't go very well, all I remember was lots of dancing, lots of laughing, throwing up and finally sleeping like a baby. Boy it was fun, except for the throwing up part. And yes for the very same reason, I don't ever want to get DRUNK again.
Two weeks back something interesting happened. I got to try Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). In fact it was under medical supervision. I was getting my first wisdom tooth pulled. Along with the local freezing of the extraction area, I was also wearing a mask inhaling Nitrous Oxide. The dentist said it would keep me all relaxed. I didn't really feel the urge to laugh at all. Maybe because they had the News channe…

27 signs of aging

So when google introduced a personalized birthday doodle the first time, I was really impressed. And now this year the first person/machine to wish me on my birthday was my bank in India (9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time) So I technically opened my first birthday wish the day before.

Well you know you are living the high life when there are more machines wishing you on your birthday than people!

With a vision still going crippled and an almost healthy body and mind I think I am doing good for 27 years. But then I still miss those days when I had the luxury to go to bed without brushing or flossing or taking off my makeup. I can't do it anymore, the more I stare in the mirror I will find a fine line in the making! And you know how my mind is so drenched in that fancy advice (which could possibly be true) - Cleanse, tone and moisturize your face. Well hell yeah I do that! I do it all and I am still insecure.

And even in the middle of all this buzz, I turned 27, oh y…
