Thoughts and comments on just about anything and everything….
This, that and the other.
After Mum passed away last year, I stopped painting. I just didnโt feel like it. Iโd cry or Iโd make some excuse at needing to keep the studio clean. Then, around mid-April, I started to paint again but with watercolours, yet I still wasnโt in it wholeheartedly. A very dear friend from Canada commissioned me to do a painting for her and I started painting … Continue reading Picking up that brush again…
Often, people say teens are a blessing. I agree with this wholeheartedly until, of course, something like this happens. My daughter has stuck these posters all over the house. Sheโs hiring a PA because sheโs overwhelmed. Her brother applied for the job and was called in for an interview at 8pm last night. He wore a proper jacket over his pyjamas and politely knocked on … Continue reading Hiring a PA
Life has a strange way of doing whatever it wants. You can keep planning all day long, meticulously putting your life in order on paper, and then suddenly life happens. I’m constantly in defence-mode. Because I’ve always had to fight to get to where I am today, it seems to be ingrained in me to keep fighting. Being the decision-maker for my family has also … Continue reading Learning to unplug
I’m a self-proclaimed procrastinator. It’s NOT something I have been proud of but I am glad to say that I quietly decided at the beginning of this year that I should take control of my life and change what I didn’t like – and that was lack of motivation. I started reading up a lot and have gathered very many tips on how to stay … Continue reading Motivational Tips to Boost Success
I like to read and every once in a while I will come across something that I like, and would love to share. I found this on Pinterest and there were several different versions of the same words. I wrote them out in my journal (because it is said that you tend to remember what you wrote hence those tedious note-writing days from school!) and … Continue reading 25 Healthy Habits To Start Today
I’m not about to let something out that lies deep in my heart, even though I may not have much there to share. I have always felt I am an ย open book. Speaking of books, that is The Secret I am talking about. I read this book by Rhonda Byrne many years ago, when everyone else was reading it. I bought myself a copy, read … Continue reading The Secret
Are you back at work? Are you having a tough day? I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one who is suffering through all the moans and groans. Here’s how my day went yesterday: 7am : Alarm goes off. I stare at my phone with disgust. Didn’t I just close my eyes and fall asleep a few minutes ago? With one eye open, I start … Continue reading Day One at Work in 2017
My friends refer to me as ‘Honorary Khoji’ and let me explain why! I have studied in Aga Khan schools and of course I’m bound to have learnt something along the way Continue reading Happy Imamat Day
Sometimes there are signs of positivity everywhere. You just need to look for them. I came home feeling a bit low but cheered up immensely seeing these beautiful orchids near the front door. Happiness. Up until a few years ago, I couldn’t tell a real plant from a plastic one but look at me now! Orchids, no less! I’ve had this plant for two years … Continue reading Blooming happy!ย
While Deepak Chopra and other self-help, life enhancing life coaches may have made millions writing about 7 types of habits, I thought Iโd throw in my two bits worth. Of course I donโt expect to be paid in millions for this though if the boss is so inclined who am I to say anything? So anyway, kids do and say the darndest things; Iโd … Continue reading 7 Peculiar Habits of Children
