Trending #2015

I have been MIA for some time and for good reasons :) I have discovered new passions and have been constantly learning and evolving. It is strange how turning 25 helped me to be more focused and matured in my thinking. I felt like I was in training mode for all these years and now I am ready to take on the world and battle it out. Just kidding but yeah I do feel like now is the time to actually embrace life and make my own experiences. I am enjoying the confidence endowed by my education and the independence bestowed by my career. I can say for sure that this is the best time of my life ever. Read on to find out why.

Following several failed resolutions, I have finally begun to make time for myself. I started working out last year and soon it began to show. My friend once told me that fit people look good even in the simplest of clothes. That is so true. It also dawned on me that healthy people look beautiful naturally. Of course, beauty is only skin deep. But it never hurts to look good outside while being good inside too right? ;) So I looked up the net and found some DIY beauty treatments. Most important discovery being “Baking soda is a universal remedy for everything”. It is not only good for the skin and hair but also works well for a pedicure. And it is not expensive at all! Now, that’s certainly a huge plus ;)

Talking about the internet, my new found obsession is Pinterest. There is virtually everything in there and often I substitute Google with Pinterest. I have found craft ideas, recipes, remedies, décor ideas, life hacks, fashion tips and loads of entertainment. I also like the quotes there and I have seen that however idyllic my browsing is the quotes definitely inspire me at some level. So what if I have been borrowing ideas from Pinterest? My room looks way cooler now and my stuff is more organized :D But I always try and thank the person who came up with the original idea. Credit goes where it is due.

I have also been going to a lot of places and being a food bon vivant (fancy name for food junkie :P) I find immense pleasure in tasting new cuisines. All my TV shows revolve around food too - Masterchef Australia, My kitchen rules, Top chef. I don’t cook often but I love exotic recipes and making simple food yum! This year I was also blessed with couple of precious friends who helped me redefine myself. They hold a very special place in my heart <3 Although I was always a dreamer, I became a doer only because of them :D

And one of my prime achievements as a doer is my vacation to Germany! Yes, yes, yesss! I made it. My dream of a phoren vacation has come true. All thanks to my sister and brother in law. They practically guided me through the whole visa process and took care of me like a baby when I was there. I cannot even begin to describe our merrymaking. My sister has always pampered me but my jiju is equally indulgent too. They packed fun in every moment while ensuring my comfort. Just thinking of the good times tears me up (I am such a drama queen sob). I want to give life to the wonderful memories I made there. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, my next project - tadaaaa - Deutschland Diaries! It is not a journal per se. Just a scrapbook capturing my German adventures :) But I so want to make it and show it to my sister. She will be over the moon when she sees it!

I feel guilty about writing such a long post :) But I can hardly contain my excitement. I want to do more. Travel to new lands and explore new cultures. Try out new things and find out more about myself. My likes and dislikes. My desires and fears. My capabilities and shortcomings. I am feeling so positive that I seem like one of the comic characters from sitcoms! :D Buckle up life, here I come!

(P.S. Guess what? I had my first driving lesson and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think I will be kickass on road :D)
