From lazy to effective

Happy New year everyone... This is the day when most of us feel motivated to 'do' things. This is the day when we actually think about ourselves. We make new year resolutions which never seem to last more than a day or two. You know why? Because we're too lazy to work on them, we don't like to give up our comfort zone at any cost, we actually don't find ourselves that important. There it is.. I said it. I said the bitter truth today. I never found myself important too. I abused my body with eating and my mind by worrying too much about things. I want to change. And literally, I'm trying my best. When 2017 started. I made a lot of resolutions but never had I ever focused on working on those things. I thought about writing, even I created many blogs but I couldn't stick on the schedule. I ran out of things to write. I got really nervous thinking that I'm not enough, my english sucks, I can't do this everyone will judge me and blah . And eventually...

Guess who's not partying tonight?? Me.. I am in my pyjamas and thinking about my life.. and my friends are busy planning for a night out.. The reason why I'm not with them is that "I'm not allowed" My parents are really strict.. so you can imagine how my life is.. But still.. I don't have any regrets.. I live my life as I want to.. I do the things which I want to do.. Anyway.. I really don't think a new year is actually gonna change my life.. I'll be the same person tomorrow as I'm today and maybe I'll be the same forever.. I know I'm not perfect.. but I'll try to do better and better each day.. I'll try to be more proactive.. which is again is not very easy thing to do.. specially for a person like me who's really short tempered.. Let's see what happens next.. stay with me for daily updates.. Happy New year everyone.. <3

Helloooo.. I know I didn't post anything yesterday.. I was so busy doing a lot of things that I forgot to post. Yesterday I woke at 7 A.M and started studying, revised everything. I was all ready for my exam.. I went to the hall and anxiously waited for the question paper to arrive.. after writing continuously for 2½ hours I managed to attempt all the questions..then I hung out with my college friends after that.. I came back home around 4 P.M and got a call from my friends. They said they wanted to hangout. I finished my lunch and rushed to meet them. I was with them till 8:30 P.M and came back home. I was exhausted and went to bed. I'm making breakfast now and weekend's special is Rava appe . Being a south Indian, I grew up eating idli everyday that I got bored now. so I did a little variation of it.. All I did is I took some idli batter and added chopped toma toes, onions, and chillies. Then I added a bit of salt to taste and a bit of chilli powder for color. I gre...

Okay.. I think I'm all done with my syllabus. I am 60% prepared for tomorrow and I hope I'll at least remember 40% of it. I'm exhausted.. I've been studying from yesterday and calling my friends to know how much they've completed. You know, it's always better to call someone and know how much portion they've covered, it gives you a sudden kick to study even more.. it works for me.. Now, I think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight. I have to wake up tomorrow early in the morning and do the final revision.. I remember the time, when I was in school. I used to study a month before my exams and started doing revisions a week before the final exams. But as I grew older, I sort of got bored of all studying and competition. I don't feel like getting the best grades, getting into the best college, getting the highest paid job etc.. I want to just be happy and be passionate about my work.. I really don't aim for higher salary.. ofcourse, I think money...

Oh my godddd.. I am freaking out. As you people know my marketing research's exam is on Friday and I haven't studied a bit. I opened my book now.. the subject is really vast. I don't think I can complete it. But it's okay.. I'll try to cover the portion that's easy and then give a reading to the hard topics. I never cheat on my main exams, I don't like the idea of cheating. I know a lot of you people may think that I am a freak or trying to be righteous and stuff..then noo...this is the way I am, from the beginning. I believe in gaining the knowledge. And  not depend on others for this. I try to solve as many questions I can using my brain. I'll quote Joey Tribbiani from Friends for my current situation "Whatever happens, happens.. destiny!" Anyway, yesterday was great.. everything went according to the plan. I took the meals after every 2 hours and I went to the gym, did some weight training. Then I came back home, took a shower and ofcour...

For me, food has to be easy, quick and delicious for sure. Specially when I have breakfast, I choose the things which are quick to eat and have a good nutritional value. Bananas are good source of vitamins and ofcourse, potassium. And pomegranates, on the other hand, are great for boosting heart health. When these things are combined, you get a beautiful yet nutritious bowl of pre-breakfast. What I do is Take a banana, peel off the skin and thinly slice it, put it in a bowl. Now I add some pomegranate seeds in to the bowl full of banana, drizzle some honey over it and voila, it's done. So, make it for yourself and thank me later. I am all set for today, I'll hit the gym in the evening and this time I'll try to maintain it at least 3 days a week. Before that, I've got to start studying, my marketing research's exam is on Friday and I have no idea what the subject is about. I took this semester lightly and now I don't even have time to make up for it. But t...

Mornings are supposed be quiet and peaceful but in my case it's completely different. I am from a typical south Indian family, where everyone is loud as hell in the morning. Everybody in my home wakes up at 6:00 A.M. sharp, but me.. I couldn't get much sleep last night,  I was freezing and was too lazy to get up & switch off the fan so I caught cold in the morning. I woke up at 7:00 A.M, thanks to my dad. He came to my room and opened the drapes and said "look someone gave you a present. " I struggled to open my eyes and then opened the present, it was a 'Dreamcatcher'. I was so happy, there was a little note attached to the box saying " Merry Christmas from ur secret santa" and I knew who was my "secret santa". It was obviously, my friend Mansi. She does this every year. I immediately texted her thank you <3..  I love Dreamcatchers, I don't know why but I am kind of obsessed with them and it was a perfect gift, again thank you...

I had the craziest Saturday ever.. I mean, yeah, I did many crazy things before but never had I ever done something as stupid as the thing I did yesterday. My diet plan went to the trash. I couldn't stick to it. Everything was going good then I got a call from my friend, we had to go to college and collect our exam hall ticket. So, I went to the college and waited for hours in the line. I payed my dues and took my hall ticket. It was already 3:30 p.m. My friend had invited me over to her house for lunch. We had lunch, then chatted for a while, which turned out to be an hour then I said goodbye to her & reached my home at 6:00p.m and then I had to clean up the messy kitchen. There was a lot of work to do, I totally forgot about the vocab cards. I made dinner around 10p.m and watched some TV. I came out of my room and the dining hall was smelling like gas. I was in panic. I immediately checked everything and stopped the leakage. It was already 2 a.m. I opened all the doors and...

Ah finally..! Saturday is here. I have no plans yet, I used to have plans every weekend. I used to hangout with my friends, we treat ourselves with a lot of food and probably that's the reason why I have belly fat now.. well anyway, I started my day with some Ragi (finger millet) malt. It's the healthiest drink on this planet but it's mostly famous in southern parts of India. And I am a south Indian, so we make this at our home everyday. My mother told me how in earlier days, the farmers used to have this malt every morning and went to work. This kept them energized throughout the day. And it's very easy to make, the best part is that It can be made in like 5 minutes. Just combine 4tbsp of Ragi flour with some water and let it boil. Then you'll be left with thick, luscious cooked Ragi batter. Now mix some buttermilk into it, a pinch of salt and a squeeze in some lemon juice. Later, I had some freshly squeezed orange juice and a cheese toast, after two hours, I...

Habits are hard to break. Like in college, you smoke a cigarette out of peer pressure, now, became a habit. Even though you know it's gonna kill you but you just keep on smoking it, one after the other. Just like that, if I stay in my comfort zone now. I know I can't get out of it later. I believe, I can hit the gym at least three days a week. I just don't know how am I going to do that. The voices in my head are so strong that they convince me to stay home and complete one more episode of my favourite TV shows. I lose my control here. These voices assure me that "we'll go to gym tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes. When I started my coaching for MBA's entrance exam, we were given vocabulary cards. One card has 20 words with meaning. We were told to learn these words, one day one card. At first I was so excited to see this. I even completed one - two cards.. but then I lost that motivation to learn more. Now, I don't even remember the words that I...

2017 has been a rollercoaster ride for me. I had many best days and some worst days. I learned a lot this year, I grew my understanding and now I want to grow my personality. My only problem is that I get easily distracted from my goals. I start things which I want to do, first two days are always great. I complete that work with full energy but as the days pass by, I begin to lose that energy, that motivation. Then again I am back to the normal state where I just feel like "go with the flow, who cares" and I leave that work in the middle and be in my comfort zone again. I created this blog to write my everyday story of getting out of my comfort zone. I will do things which I've never done before or thought of doing. I have a list of things to achieve and I hope through these daily updates I'll stay energetic and motivated untill I reach my destination.   1.  Stop procrastinating   2.  Eat hea lthy   3. Exercise   4. Develop vocabular...

I was coming home from college, a hectic day.. and suddenly I realized that I don't know what I am going to do in future. Everyone around me, my friends and my classmates had figured out everything they wanted to do with their life.. I was sinking.. literally sinking.. I was never interested in management yet I was doing bachelor's of business administration..I always wanted to do something which is more creative and fun.. but still.. did I had any other choice?  Just like any other confused person.. I started following "the crowd". Everyone around me was running after MBA, So along with them I joined coaching for the entrance exam. My only goal here was to secure my future. That's it.. before joining the coaching I pictured everything about my future in my head I imagined things like "I'll be rich and successful after MBA". But reality struck me in the coaching. I was so bad at math and reasoning.. I was so lazy and didn't even bothered to pra...
