Overwhelming Emotions

This blog is about how important little gestures, how precious our personal belongings , how irreplaceable our favorite items are to us and the series of emotions we display when encountered with an occasion that involves them.

I recently had such an episode, which made me realize how emotions are packed inside us and how unexpectedly they ooze out.

Me & my husband have recently moved to Dubai from India, where we had a perfectly set home with a beautiful decor and a calm ambiance around us.While moving we were anticipating weather to bring our furniture with us or not,after long series of  discussions & advice's we decided to get it shipped to Dubai.

Though I was growing fond of the new place & my new home,i always felt something was missing.I had been eagerly waiting for my stuff to come & I  had constantly been dealing with the shipping company & clearing agents.Finally after a lot of effort,coordination & expenditure our luggage finally reached us .

As the truck fully loaded with our stuff reached our building I rushed to my window to see & at that moment i don't know what i experienced within me,but, i had tears rolling down my cheeks. There was a rush of emotions inside , my throat was choked.I could not explain the feelings but i knew that i was happy. Finally my connection to my home, my country , my family in the form of those things would be surrounding me & i would not be alone in the new house.

We generally don't understand what could trigger a reaction within us, but, then we all are so connected to the place we grew up, the things we used daily & numerous other habits that we always do.We look for them as they provide us comfort. Its that when we get a feeling of being complete.

Finding Happiness...

Hi,

I'm writing this blog to vent out my feelings .I have been  melancholy, frustrated, irritated and all the negative emotions anyone can feel.My point here is to figure out what is the root cause of these erratic emotions.

The reasons I can think of are-

• Moving back home after 5 long years
• Not used to too much interference in my life by family
• Long driving hours to office
• Idiotic & senseless traffic jams
• Long distance relationship
• Constant fights with boyfriend
• Discontment with my work

I have listed quite a few,but,the list is long. However ,when I introspect I feel are these factors big enough to determine my happiness.Am I mixing my daily routine with my life???

Yes, I am. Happiness cant be ordered , it needs to be cultivated.

 I realized I need to find my happiness while operating in this very Eco system,that I am the only one responsible for my own happiness. Happiness should not be linked to others or involuntary circumstances. A smile utilizes the minimum amount of effort &energy as compared to any other action or reaction.I have decided to find my own reasons for being happy.I plan to start with smiling on hearing my favorite song, eating a delicious meal, appreciating nature, taking care of myself,valuing gestures by friends & family, enjoying discussions with friends.These are few actions I plan to take with immediate effect.

As I approach the end of this blog,I am already feeling better.Thus, I will sign off by saying -


Keep Smiling & Be Happy!!!

Maggi !!!

Hey.. 

Its my first blog ever & i have been pondering over about what to write. I asked for a few suggestions & was advised the typical answer of  "writing about what I like"..

As I was evaluating my options I decided to make a quick bite for myself  & that  is where I discovered the topic for my blog & its none other than "Maggi".

"Maggi"- my 2 minutes friend. I chose to write about it because I feel its an innate part of my life & is present in every sphere of it. It supported me during my late night studies ,it paved way for great friendships, it heard my problems when i sulked, it made me warm on hill stations , it helped me skip boring meals, it made my experiment  with my culinary skills. Its just been there all through..

Its been equivalent to a friend, a confidant, a support system , a savior & has dawned different hats at different times. Thus i pay my due ode to it by dedicating my first piece of writing as a token of my love & appreciation.

In our busy schedules we just forget about these tiny things that have  created so may beautiful memories, so just remember them from time to time..Im sure it will bring a big smile to your face..


Feel free to share your thoughts about  this Maggi!!!
