I reckon that a 'balanced life' is so individualistic in nature, the aspects which make it too need to come from a very personal space.
You can’t escape you
Try anyway.
Love thyself - all the virtues, all the vices Allow yourself to breathe, slow down, relax Allow yourself to fail Allow yourself to feel elated, happy, sad, angry Allow yourself to feel lost But, Love thyself anyway. Spread the love Don’t just fall in love, choose to love Care and take care Not just when the… Continue reading Try anyway.
आओ बैठें, बातें करें
आओ बैठें , बातें करें भूल से गये हैं मीठे से तीखे से शब्दों का स्वाद आओ बैठें... बस दिन को रात, रात को दिन करें जा रहें हैं लम्हे फिसल रहें हैं, हम खर्च होते जा रहें हैं 'कैसे हो?' इसका जवाब हर बार 'बढ़िया' तो नही होता इस 'बढ़िया' के नीचे क्या छुपा… Continue reading आओ बैठें, बातें करें
Beef Burgers and More…
After an early morning flight from Paris to Barcelona, our starving bodies could have eaten possibly anything (mind often thinks in extremes but is seldom prepared).

Sight of things surrounding your life; People you praise, situations you revile. Have I been too busy lately? Giving up on, all my frailties!… Continue reading Personal Oasis
