Habits

This year from Jan 1st 2014, my life was changing for ever, I got into problems from one after another, unexpectedly people in close circle became strangers / enemies and unfortunately to be true I fell into traps of others.

But every experience made me strong and taught me to be stand alone and be strong. I learned weeping or day dreaming of the looses wont make any difference in life. Life has go on and I have to move faster to catch my life and dreams. 

First and for most lesson is don't compare your life to others, even to close your friend / close relative / or some one of same age group.You can't please every one / entertain every one as joker. You should stop trying to manage others situations and devote more energy to improve your quality of life to grow more quickly. So once you have made up your mind here is the action steps,

Action steps:-

1.Picture the desired end result (what ever it be)

2.What is your confidence level that you’ll actually achieve the goal?

3.If it is low- ask yourself why?

4.What steps were you unable to execute ? 

5.How could you overcome those?

6.With those steps, are you now more confident?

Don’t tell yourself “I can do this”  Better: “Can I do this? How?” 

We people are creatures of habit. We are what we repeatedly do. We become our habits. The meaning of our life is to find a reason why we are here and the purpose of our life is to then give it away.

Volunteering with Stop Hunger Now

Date :10 June 2014

280 HP Employees + 2 hours = Success!

All the volunteers were briefed about norms of the event. At 1:00 pm the employees began to queue up in front of the hall to confirm their registration before participating in the event.

We had many assembly lines and on each we had around 10-12 volunteers managing various tasks associated with the package of meals. The process of packaging the meal packs was systematic and performed in an orderly fashion. It began with the adding the vitamin packets to the custom made meal bag, followed by adding a cup of Dal, a scoop of onion power, a scoop of dried vegetables and a cup of Rice through the funnel. After which the entire bag was weighed to ensure the uniformity across meal packages with an ideal weight between 300-385 grams. Post which the meal bags were sealed using an electric sealing machine and arranged in a box before sealing them.Each Box contained 36 meal packages.

Volunteers managed various tasks during this event from participating on the assembly lines to packing the boxes, from supplying raw materials to assembly lines to storing the packed boxes.

Every assembly line had a designated funnel captain and a floor marshal, who were responsible to manage the funnel and co-ordinate the packing on the specific assembly line respectively.

The co-ordination, dedication, enthusiasm and passion displayed by the volunteers along with cheering & encouraging each other was excellent.

It reminded me of a restaurants Kitchen’s or an assembly line at a fast food center. We had people shouting, cheering and asking for raw materials and boxes to be pack. I recollect few lines like ” We need Rice at assembly line 1″ to which the response from the raw materials team was “1 box of rice to the Line 1, On the way”, it was funny and joyful.

This was a very memorable day for all the volunteers and they all departed with a smile on their face and the satisfaction of having contributed to the society in their hearts.

Yet again, HP as always created a platform for the employees to fulfil their social responsibility and serve the society on this historic day.

In the space of 2 hours we managed to break two records, the previous HP record of 102,000 meals packed by our group in December 2012 and also a Stop Hunger Now European Record! 

The goal was to package 120,000 meals to go to Africa and in the end with your dedication, enthusiasm and sheer hard work you packed a fantastic 146,000 meals, a new record!

Herbal Tea

Tea is commonly called as Chai / Masala Chai. Tea is one of my addiction in life, and I need at least 2 cups for my soul to be happy.Tea is the refreshing drink taken in the morning and when tired or stressed out.

I start my day with herbal tea and if I don't drink a cup of tea then for sure my day will be lost with headache. I can bet that most Indians have tea in the morning and most of us use herbs it to make it more healthy.

I am typing this blog post from my flat on May 26th 2014 one of the bank holidays in UK and it is called spring bank holiday. But the weather over here in UK is like Indian monsoon, is raining non stop for past 12 hours now. It is nice to see rain through window but rains pulls out the laziness out of your body.

I personally dont like Dip tea if I am at home and I make Indian Herbal tea. I wonder I have it everyday what took me so long to share this Indian Tea recipe with all of you. The herbal teas consists of simple herbs, which you can grow in your backyard. The aroma and taste of this Indian Herbal tea is awesome do try this.

The kind of herbs one can add in a herbal tea depends upon their medicinal value as some of the herbs like ginger, cloves will produce a lot of heat in the body whereas some herbs like mint, tulsi (holy basil), rose petals are cooling. on a cold climate you can have the tea hot. 

The herbs which I used for my herbal tea :

1. Ginger (sliced/grated)
2. Two  cardamom
3. Cinnamon powder (sometimes)

If you don't herbs in hand I would suggest  Tesco Finest Fragrant and Spicy  Tea it has same same effect. Try out local brands of spicy tea.

If you add Ginger to your tea it relieves nausea, combats motion sickness, inflammation, helps digestive processes, limits flatulence and minimizes symptoms of common cold, allergies and other respiratory conditions.

Tips:

• Do not remove the peel of cardamoms as they impart good flavor and have lots of medicinal values.
• Never add cold milk and then heat the tea it spoils the taste of tea.
• Correct practice is adding milk to tea not tea to milk this way the amount milk can be regulated without spoiling the taste of tea.
• To get the complete flavor of herbs and spices boil the water for at least 5 min.
• Lastly don’t forget to add some love while making this tea.

There are many other varieties of herbal teas hope below pic helps you to try out the different herbal teas.

Nice Quotes

Happy Saturday !

May 17th 2014 
London.

This post is a random one on a special day of my life.
This wasn’t planned or expected and there is special thanks  to family for sharing ! Loving me ! and reminding me we are a family ! even though we are miles away.
.............
Today I wanted to write about one of my favorite quotes which applies to me.

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr. Suess

I think the problem with many people my age is that we can’t be ourselves. And I’m not saying I’m not involved in this because I am. People think too much into what other people think about them. And they shouldn’t. You should be yourself. Don’t live to impress others.

“Say what you feel.” I admit sometimes I am afraid to say what I really feel. And so is everyone else. It makes sense. What if we say something wrong? What if people make fun of us? What if they talk about us? We need to just stop worrying about it all. In my personnel experience I lost some years of my life because of this fear. 

I know I or you can't changes things in one night, but if we need to change some thing, the process should start within yourself - your mind. If you can't imagine the change or can't imagine what you want to be in life , no body can't help you.
There will be small or big windows opportunities in your situations, open your eyes, catch the opportunities and move forward.

If you act like yourself, people will judge. People will hate. You cannot please everyone. If somebody doesn't like you for you, makes fun of what you say, then they aren't worth talking to. Don’t over think the people who mind what you say. Don’t change yourself to show off to somebody else. It doesn’t matter what others think. But dress up properly or do things matters based on your location.

My fear of others keep reminds me of a funny cartoon of PUGH.There was a  time in my life that I used to cover my face with books, or near by newspaper in public places and colleges just to get rid of the people I dont like / scared of what they say.

I am sure you will also have this kind of funny moments in life, share it and we will have a laugh together :)

Today, I turn 31.

When I was little, I used to think people in their 30s were really old. Now that I’m in my 30s, that perspective has quickly shifted. Life is short. Live it the way that will make you happy.Thanks to all friends and family who wished me, let us thank technology for making this happen.

Have a good day folks... it is 23 degree's here in London, kind of warmest day of the year so far and most of all I am in my dream city of childhood.
